Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.
Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.

It is very common for the end of the file to be unaligned on
stripe size. But since we know it's beyond file's end then
the XOR should be preformed with all zeros.
Old code used to just read zeros out of the OSD devices, which is a great
waist. But what scares me more about this situation is that, we now have
pages attached to the file's mapping that are beyond i_size. I don't
like the kind of bugs this calls for.
Fix both birds, by returning a global zero_page, if offset is beyond
i_size.
TODO:
Change the API to ->__r4w_get_page() so a NULL can be
returned without being considered as error, since XOR API
treats NULL entries as zero_pages.

The read-4-write pages are locked in address ascending order.
But where unlocked in a way easiest for coding. Fix that,
locks should be released in opposite order of locking, .i.e
descending address order.
I have not hit this dead-lock. It was found by inspecting the
dbug print-outs. I suspect there is an higher lock at caller that
protects us, but fix it regardless.

Do to OOM situations the ore might fail to allocate all resources
needed for IO of the full request. If some progress was possible
it would proceed with a partial/short request, for the sake of
forward progress.
Since this crashes NFS-core and exofs is just fine without it just
remove this contraption, and fail.

In RAID_5/6 We used to not permit an IO that it's end
byte is not stripe_size aligned and spans more than one stripe.
.i.e the caller must check if after submission the actual
transferred bytes is shorter, and would need to resubmit
a new IO with the remainder.
Exofs supports this, and NFS was supposed to support this
as well with it's short write mechanism. But late testing has
exposed a CRASH when this is used with none-RPC layout-drivers.
The change at NFS is deep and risky, in it's place the fix
at ORE to lift the limitation is actually clean and simple.
So here it is below.
The principal here is that in the case of unaligned IO on
both ends, beginning and end, we will send two read requests
one like old code, before the calculation of the first stripe,
and also a new site, before the calculation of the last stripe.
If any "boundary" is aligned or the complete IO is within a single
stripe. we do a single read like before.
The code is clean and simple by splitting the old _read_4_write
into 3 even parts:
1._read_4_write_first_stripe
2. _read_4_write_last_stripe
3. _read_4_write_execute
And calling 1+3 at the same place as before. 2+3 before last
stripe, and in the case of all in a single stripe then 1+2+3
is preformed additively.
Why did I not think of it before. Well I had a strike of
genius because I have stared at this code for 2 years, and did
not find this simple solution, til today. Not that I did not try.
This solution is much better for NFS than the previous supposedly
solution because the short write was dealt with out-of-band after
IO_done, which would cause for a seeky IO pattern where as in here
we execute in order. At both solutions we do 2 separate reads, only
here we do it within a single IO request. (And actually combine two
writes into a single submission)
NFS/exofs code need not change since the ORE API communicates the new
shorter length on return, what will happen is that this case would not
occur anymore.
hurray!!

If list_for_each_entry, etc complete a traversal of the list, the iterator
variable ends up pointing to an address at an offset from the list head,
and not a meaningful structure. Thus this value should not be used after
the end of the iterator. Replace a field access from orphan by NULL in two
places.
A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@@
identifier c;
expression E;
iterator name list_for_each_entry;
statement S;
@@
list_for_each_entry(c,...) { ... when != break;
when forall

(
c = E

Artem: fortunately, this did not cause any issues because we iterate the orphan
list using the elements count, so we never dereferenced the corrupted pointer.

In the log reply code we assume that 'c->lhead_offs' is known and may be

This patch adds another debugfs knob which switches UBIFS to R/O mode.
I needed it while trying to reproduce the 'first log node is not CS node'
bug. Without this debugfs knob you have to perform a power cut to repruduce
the bug. The knob is named 'ro_error' and all it does is it sets the
'ro_error' UBIFS flag which makes UBIFS disallow any further writes - even
write-back will fail with -EROFS. Useful for debugging.

UBIFS has a feature called "empty space fix-up" which is a quirk to work-around
limitations of dumb flasher programs. Namely, of those flashers that are unable
to skip NAND pages full of 0xFFs while flashing, resulting in empty space at
the end of half-filled eraseblocks to be unusable for UBIFS. This feature is
relatively new (introduced in v3.0).
The fix-up routine (fixup_free_space()) is executed only once at the very first
mount if the superblock has the 'space_fixup' flag set (can be done with -F
option of mkfs.ubifs). It basically reads all the UBIFS data and metadata and
writes it back to the same LEB. The routine assumes the image is pristine and
does not have anything in the journal.
There was a bug in 'fixup_free_space()' where it fixed up the log incorrectly.
All but one LEB of the log of a pristine file-system are empty. And one
contains just a commit start node. And 'fixup_free_space()' just unmapped this
LEB, which resulted in wiping the commit start node. As a result, some users
were unable to mount the file-system next time with the following symptom:
UBIFS error (pid 1): replay_log_leb: first log node at LEB 3:0 is not CS node
UBIFS error (pid 1): replay_log_leb: log error detected while replaying the log at LEB 3:0
The root-cause of this bug was that 'fixup_free_space()' wrongly assumed
that the beginning of empty space in the log head (c->lhead_offs) was known
on mount. However, it is not the case - it was always 0. UBIFS does not store
in it the master node and finds out by scanning the log on every mount.
The fix is simple - just pass commit start node size instead of 0 to
'fixup_leb()'.

Instead of only setting the FCOE segmentation offload and CRC offload flags
if we enable FCoE, we could just set them always since there are no
modifications needed to the hardware or adapter FCoE structure in order to
use these features.
The advantage to this is that if FCoE enablement fails, for example because
SR-IOV was enabled on 82599, we will still have use of the FCoE
segmentation offload and Tx/Rx CRC offloads which should still help to
improve the FCoE performance.

The current logic is enabling anti-spoof on all pools and then clearing
anti-spoof on just the first PF pool. The correct approach is to only set
anti-spoof on the VF pools and to leave all of the PF pools unchecked.
This allows for items such as FCoE to use adjacent pools within the PF for
transmit and receive queues without the traffic being blocked by this
security feature.

This change corrects an issue in which an FCoE enabled adapter was always
setting the FCoE SAN MAC MPSAR register to 0x1. This results in the first
VF being assigned the SAN MAC address in the case of SR-IOV and as such is
incorrect. To resolve this I am adding a new function that will update the
SAN MAC pool address after reset.

This patch changes the behavior of the FCoE configuration so that it is
much closer to how the main body of the ixgbe driver works for ring
allocation.
The first piece is the ixgbe_fcoe_ddp_enable/disable calls. These allocate
the percpu values and if successful set the fcoe_ddp_xid value indicating
that we can support DDP.
The next piece is the ixgbe_setup/free_ddp_resources calls. These are
called on open/close and will allocate and free the DMA pools.
Finally ixgbe_configure_fcoe is now just register configuration. It can go
through and enable the registers for the FCoE redirection offload, and FIP
configuration without any interference from the DDP pool allocation.
The net result of all this is two fold. First it adds a certain amount of
exception handling. So for example if ixgbe_setup_fcoe_resources fails we
will actually generate an error in open and refuse to bring up the
interface.
Secondly it provides a much more graceful failure case than the previous
model which would skip setting up the registers for FCoE on failure to
allocate DDP resources leaving no Rx functionality enabled instead of just
disabling DDP.

This change merges the 2 statistics values for noddp and noddp_ext_buff
and the dma_pool into a single structure that can be allocated per CPU.
The advantages to this are several fold. First we only need to do one
alloc_percpu call now instead of 3, so that means less overhead for
handling memory allocation failures. Secondly in the case of
ixgbe_fcoe_ddp_setup we only need to call get_cpu once which makes things a
bit cleaner since we can drop a put_cpu() from the exception path.

The VF driver had a memory leak that would occur if VFs were assigned to a
guest. The amount of leak would vary with the number of VFs but could max
out at about 14K per PF. To reproduce the leak all you would need to do is
enable all the VFs on the first PF. Then start a loop of loading and
unloading the driver with max_vfs=63 for the first port.

This change makes it so that we can use the VMDq ring feature offset value
to determine the default pool instead of using num_vfs. The reason for
this change is to avoid issues should we fail to allocate vfinfo but have
pre-existing VFs. What should happen in this case is that num_vfs will go
to 0, but the VMDq offset will contain the location of the first PF pool.

The commit 766e6a4 (clk: add DT clock binding support) plugs device

The return check on of_clk_get_by_name takes (clk != NULL) as a
successful DT lookup. But it's not the case. For any system that
does not define clk lookup in device tree, ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) will be
returned, and consequently, all the client drivers calling clk_get
in their probe functions will fail to probe with error code -ENOENT
returned.
Fix the issue by checking of_clk_get_by_name return with !IS_ERR(clk),
and update of_clk_get and of_clk_get_by_name for !CONFIG_OF build
correspondingly.

Currently kexec in a PVonHVM guest fails with a triple fault because the
new kernel overwrites the shared info page. The exact failure depends on
the size of the kernel image. This patch moves the pfn from RAM into
MMIO space before the kexec boot.
The pfn containing the shared_info is located somewhere in RAM. This
will cause trouble if the current kernel is doing a kexec boot into a
new kernel. The new kernel (and its startup code) can not know where the
pfn is, so it can not reserve the page. The hypervisor will continue to
update the pfn, and as a result memory corruption occours in the new
kernel.
One way to work around this issue is to allocate a page in the
xen-platform pci device's BAR memory range. But pci init is done very
late and the shared_info page is already in use very early to read the
pvclock. So moving the pfn from RAM to MMIO is racy because some code
paths on other vcpus could access the pfn during the small window when
the old pfn is moved to the new pfn. There is even a small window were
the old pfn is not backed by a mfn, and during that time all reads
return -1.
Because it is not known upfront where the MMIO region is located it can
not be used right from the start in xen_hvm_init_shared_info.
To minimise trouble the move of the pfn is done shortly before kexec.
This does not eliminate the race because all vcpus are still online when
the syscore_ops will be called. But hopefully there is no work pending
at this point in time. Also the syscore_op is run last which reduces the
risk further.

init_hvm_pv_info is called only in PVonHVM context, move it into ifdef.
init_hvm_pv_info does not fail, make it a void function.
remove arguments from init_hvm_pv_info because they are not used by the
caller.

While debugging kexec issues in a PVonHVM guest I modified
xen_hvm_platform() to return false to disable all PV drivers. This
caused a crash in platform_pci_init() because it expects certain data
structures to be initialized properly.
To avoid such a crash make sure the driver is initialized only if
running in a Xen guest.

Add xs_reset_watches function to shutdown watches from old kernel after
kexec boot. The old kernel does not unregister all watches in the
shutdown path. They are still active, the double registration can not
be detected by the new kernel. When the watches fire, unexpected events
will arrive and the xenwatch thread will crash (jumps to NULL). An
orderly reboot of a hvm guest will destroy the entire guest with all its
resources (including the watches) before it is rebuilt from scratch, so
the missing unregister is not an issue in that case.
With this change the xenstored is instructed to wipe all active watches
for the guest. However, a patch for xenstored is required so that it
accepts the XS_RESET_WATCHES request from a client (see changeset
23839:42a45baf037d in xen-unstable.hg). Without the patch for xenstored
the registration of watches will fail and some features of a PVonHVM
guest are not available. The guest is still able to boot, but repeated
kexec boots will fail.

When switching tasks in a Xen PV guest, avoid updating the TLS
descriptors if they haven't changed. This improves the speed of
context switches by almost 10% as much of the time the descriptors are
the same or only one is different.
The descriptors written into the GDT by Xen are modified from the
values passed in the update_descriptor hypercall so we keep shadow
copies of the three TLS descriptors to compare against.
