2014-09-30powerpc/powernv: Override dma_get_required_mask()Gavin Shan
The dma_get_required_mask() function is used by some drivers to query the platform about what DMA mask is needed to cover all of memory. This is a bit of a strange semantic when we have to choose between IOMMU translation or bypass, but essentially what it means is "what DMA mask will give best performances". Currently, our IOMMU backend always returns a 32-bit mask here, we don't do anything special to it when we have bypass available. This causes some drivers to choose a 32-bit mask, thus losing the ability to use the bypass window, thinking this is more efficient. The problem was reported from the driver of following device: 0004:03:00.0 0107: 1000:0087 (rev 05) 0004:03:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: LSI Logic / Symbios \ Logic SAS2308 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 (rev 05) This patch adds an override of that function in order to, instead, return a 64-bit mask whenever a bypass window is available in order for drivers to prefer this configuration.

2014-09-30powerpc/powernv: Fetch frozen PE on top levelGavin Shan
It should have been part of commit 1ad7a72c5 ("powerpc/eeh: Report frozen parent PE prior to child PE"). There are 2 ways to report EEH errors: proactively polling because of 0xFF's returned from PCI config or IO read, or interrupt driven event. We missed to report and handle parent frozen PE prior to child frozen PE for the later case on PowerNV platform.

2014-09-30powerpc/eeh: Dump PCI config space for all child devicesGavin Shan
The PEs can be organized as nested. Current implementation doesn't dump PCI config space for subordinate devices of child PEs. However, the frozen PE could be caused by those subordinate devices of its child PEs. The patch dumps PCI config space for all subordinate devices of the problematic PE.

2014-09-30powerpc/eeh: Emulate EEH recovery for VFIO devicesGavin Shan
When enabling EEH functionality on passed through devices (PE) with VFIO, the devices in the PE would be removed permanently from guest side. In that case, the PE remains frozen state. When returning PE to host, or restarting the guest again, we had mechanism unfreezing the PE by clearing PESTA/B frozen bits. However, that's not enough for some adapters, which are indicated as following "lspci" shows. Those adapters require hot reset on the parent bus to bring their firmware back to workable state. Otherwise, those adaptrs won't be operative and the host (for returning case) or the guest will fail to load the drivers for those adapters without exception. 0000:01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Emulex Corporation OneConnect \ 10Gb NIC (be3) (rev 02) 0000:01:00.0 0200: 19a2:0710 (rev 02) 0001:03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Emulex Corporation OneConnect \ NIC (Lancer) (rev 10) 0001:03:00.0 0200: 10df:e220 (rev 10) The patch adds mechanism to emulate EEH recovery (for hot reset on parent PCI bus) on 3 gates to fix the issue: open/release one adapter of the PE, enable EEH functionality on one adapter of the PE.

2014-09-30powerpc/eeh: Block PCI config access during resetGavin Shan
Function pcibios_set_pcie_reset_state() can be used to do PCI reset. PCI config access during the reset usually causes EEH errors unexpectedly. In order to avoid the EEH error, the patch blocks PCI config access during reset with the help of flag EEH_PE_RESET, which is similar to what we did in EEH PE reset path.

2014-09-30powerpc/eeh: Unfreeze PE on enabling EEH functionalityGavin Shan
When passing through PE to guest, that's possibly in frozen state. The driver for the pass-through devices on guest side can't be loaded successfully as reported. We already had one gate in eeh_dev_open() to clear PE frozen state accordingly, but that's not enough because the function is only called at QEMU startup for once. The patch adds another gate in eeh_pe_set_option() so that the PE frozen state can be cleared at QEMU restart time.

2014-09-30powerpc/eeh: Fix improper condition in eeh_pci_enable()Gavin Shan
The function eeh_pci_enable() is called to apply various requests to one particular PE: Enabling EEH, Disabling EEH, Enabling IO, Enabling DMA, Freezing PE. When enabling IO or DMA on one specific PE, we need check that IO or DMA isn't enabled previously. But the condition used to do the check isn't completely correct because one PE would be in DMA frozen state with workable IO path, or vice versa. The patch fixes the improper condition.

2014-09-30powerpc/eeh: Clear frozen device state in timeGavin Shan
The problem was reported by Carol: In the scenario of passing mlx4 adapter to guest, EEH error could be recovered successfully. When returning the device back to host, the driver (mlx4_core.ko) couldn't be loaded successfully because of error number -5 (-EIO) returned from mlx4_get_ownership(), which hits offlined PCI device. The root cause is that we missed to put the affected devices into normal state on clearing PE isolated state right after PE reset. The patch fixes above issue by putting the affected devices to normal state when clearing PE isolated state in eeh_pe_state_clear(). Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Carol L.

2014-09-30powerpc/powernv: Clear PAPR error injection registersGavin Shan
The frozen state on one specific PE is probably caused by error injection, which is done with help of PAPR error injection registers. According to the hardware spec, those registers should be cleared automatically after one-shot frozen PE. However, that's not always true, at least on P7IOC of Firebird-L. So we have to clear them before doing PE reset to avoid recursive EEH errors at recovery stage.

2014-09-30powerpc/eeh: Clear frozen state on passing deviceGavin Shan
When passing through device, its PE might have been put into frozen state. One obvious example would be: the passed PE is forced to be offline because of hitting maximal allowed EEH errors in userland. In that case, the frozen state won't be cleared and then the PE is returned back to host, which might not have chance detecting and recovering from it.

2014-09-30bonding: make global bonding stats more reliableAndy Gospodarek
As the code stands today, bonding stats are based simply on the stats from the member interfaces. If a member was to be removed from a bond, the stats would instantly drop. This would be confusing to an admin would would suddonly see interface stats drop while traffic is still flowing. In addition to preventing the stats drops mentioned above, new members will now be added to the bond and only traffic received after the member was added to the bond will be counted as part of bonding stats. Bonding counters will also be updated when any slaves are dropped to make sure the reported stats are reliable. v2: Changes suggested by Nik to properly allocate/free stats memory. v3: Properly destroy workqueue and fix netlink configuration path. v4: Moved cached stats into bonding and slave structs as there does not seem to be a complexity/performance benefit to using alloc'd memory vs in-struct memory.

This removes the use of qstats->qlen variable from the classifiers and makes it an explicit argument to gnet_stats_copy_queue().

By handling it explicitely we avoid, in the percpu stats case, having to figure out which per_cpu variable to put it in. It would probably be best to remove it from qstats completely but qstats is a user space ABI and can't be broken.
