2012-09-28ath9k: Fix rx filtering issue for older chipsThomas Wagner
We need to have the promiscuous mode enabled for older chipsets so that the olderchips hardware does not filters out some valid/necessary frames that need to be sent to mac80211. Fix this by enabling promiscus mode for all the chipsets whose macversion <= AR9160 chipsets. This should fix https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45591 shafi: made the fix generic by having the frame filtering disabled for chipsets older than AR9280.

2012-09-28Input: wacom - mark Intuos5 pad as in-prox when touching buttonsJason Gerecke
If the ExpressKeys on the Intuos5 are touched, they currently result an out-of-prox packet being sent even if the pad is already out of prox. This can cause some confusion in the X driver. To restore the expected semantics, we make being touched a sufficient condition to signal proximity. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54250 Reported-by: Timo Aaltonen <tjaalton@ubuntu.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Gerecke <killertofu@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Chris Bagwell <chris@cnpbagwell.com> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>
2012-09-28Input: synaptics - adjust threshold for treating position values as negativeSeth Forshee
Commit c039450 (Input: synaptics - handle out of bounds values from the hardware) caused any hardware reported values over 7167 to be treated as a wrapped-around negative value. It turns out that some firmware uses the value 8176 to indicate a finger near the edge of the touchpad whose actual position cannot be determined. This value now gets treated as negative, which can cause pointer jumps and broken edge scrolling on these machines. I only know of one touchpad which reports negative values, and this hardware never reports any value lower than -8 (i.e. 8184). Moving the threshold for treating a value as negative up to 8176 should work fine then for any hardware we currently know about, and since we're dealing with unspecified behavior it's probably the best we can do. The special 8176 value is also likely to result in sudden jumps in position, so let's also clamp this to the maximum specified value for the axis.

2012-09-28iommu/amd: Fix wrong assumption in iommu-group specific codeJoerg Roedel
The new IOMMU groups code in the AMD IOMMU driver makes the assumption that there is a pci_dev struct available for all device-ids listed in the IVRS ACPI table. Unfortunatly this assumption is not true and so this code causes a NULL pointer dereference at boot on some systems.

2012-09-28firewire: addendum to address handler RCU conversionStefan Richter
Follow up on commit c285f6ff6787 "firewire: remove global lock around address handlers, convert to RCU": - address_handler_lock no longer serializes the address handler, only its function to serialize updates to the list of handlers remains. Rename the lock to address_handler_list_lock. - Callers of fw_core_remove_address_handler() must be able to sleep. Comment on this in the API documentation. - The counterpart fw_core_add_address_handler() is by nature something which is used in process context. Replace spin_lock_bh() by spin_lock() in fw_core_add_address_handler() and in fw_core_remove_address_handler(), and document that process context is now required for fw_core_add_address_handler(). - Extend the documentation of fw_address_callback_t.

2012-09-28firewire: remove global lock around address handlers, convert to RCUPeter Hurley
Upper-layer handlers for inbound requests were called with a spinlock held by firewire-core. Calling into upper layers with a lower layer lock held is generally a bad idea. What's more, since commit ea102d0ec475 "firewire: core: convert AR-req handler lock from _irqsave to _bh", a caller of fw_send_request() i.e. initiator of outbound request could no longer do that while having interrupts disabled, if the local node was addressed by that request. In order to make all this more flexible, convert the management of address ranges and handlers from a global lock around readers and writers to RCU (and a remaining global lock for writers). As a minor side effect, handling of inbound requests at different cards and of local requests is now no longer serialized. (There is still per-card serialization of remote requests since firewire-ohci uses a single DMA tasklet for inbound request events.) In other words, address handlers are now called in an RCU read-side critical section instead of from within a spin_lock_bh serialized section. (Changelog rewritten by Stefan R.)

This reduces unnecessary interrupts that host could send to guest while guest is in the progress of irq handling. If one vcpu is handling the irq, while another interrupt comes, in handle_edge_irq(), the guest will mask the interrupt via mask_msi_irq() which is a very heavy operation that goes all the way down to host.

virtio network device multiqueue support reserves vq 3 for future use (useful both for future extensions and to make it pretty - this way receive vqs have even and transmit - odd numbers). Make it possible to skip initialization for specific vq numbers by specifying NULL for name. Document this usage as well as (existing) NULL callback. Drivers using this not coded up yet, so I simply tested with virtio-pci and verified that this patch does not break existing drivers. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2012-09-28virtio: introduce an API to set affinity for a virtqueueJason Wang
Sometimes, virtio device need to configure irq affinity hint to maximize the performance. Instead of just exposing the irq of a virtqueue, this patch introduce an API to set the affinity for a virtqueue. The api is best-effort, the affinity hint may not be set as expected due to platform support, irq sharing or irq type. Currently, only pci method were implemented and we set the affinity according to: - if device uses INTX, we just ignore the request - if device has per vq vector, we force the affinity hint - if the virtqueues share MSI, make the affinity OR over all affinities requested Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Instead of storing the queue index in transport-specific virtio structs, this patch moves them to vring_virtqueue and introduces an helper to get the value. This lets drivers simplify their management and tracing of virtqueues.

2012-09-28virtio-blk: Add REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA support to bio pathAsias He
We need to support both REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA for bio based path since it does not get the sequencing of REQ_FUA into REQ_FLUSH that request based drivers can request. REQ_FLUSH is emulated by: A) If the bio has no data to write: 1. Send VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to device, 2. In the flush I/O completion handler, finish the bio B) If the bio has data to write: 1. Send VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to device 2. In the flush I/O completion handler, send the actual write data to device 3. In the write I/O completion handler, finish the bio REQ_FUA is emulated by: 1. Send the actual write data to device 2. In the write I/O completion handler, send VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to device 3. In the flush I/O completion handler, finish the bio Changes in v7: - Using vbr->flags to trace request type - Dropped unnecessary struct virtio_blk *vblk parameter - Reuse struct virtblk_req in bio done function Cahnges in v6: - Reworked REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA emulatation order Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Shaohua Li <shli@kernel.org> Cc: "Michael S.

2012-09-28virtio-blk: Add bio-based IO path for virtio-blkAsias He
This patch introduces bio-based IO path for virtio-blk. Compared to request-based IO path, bio-based IO path uses driver provided ->make_request_fn() method to bypasses the IO scheduler. It handles the bio to device directly without allocating a request in block layer. This reduces the IO path in guest kernel to achieve high IOPS and lower latency. The downside is that guest can not use the IO scheduler to merge and sort requests. However, this is not a big problem if the backend disk in host side uses faster disk device. When the bio-based IO path is not enabled, virtio-blk still uses the original request-based IO path, no performance difference is observed. Using a slow device e.g. normal SATA disk, the bio-based IO path for sequential read and write are slower than req-based IO path due to lack of merge in guest kernel. So we make the bio-based path optional. Performance evaluation: ----------------------------- 1) Fio test is performed in a 8 vcpu guest with ramdisk based guest using kvm tool.
