2007-05-08IB/mlx4: Add a driver Mellanox ConnectX InfiniBand adaptersRoland Dreier
Add an InfiniBand driver for Mellanox ConnectX adapters. Because these adapters can also be used as ethernet NICs and Fibre Channel HBAs, the driver is split into two modules: mlx4_core: Handles low-level things like device initialization and processing firmware commands. Also controls resource allocation so that the InfiniBand, ethernet and FC functions can share a device without stepping on each other. mlx4_ib: Handles InfiniBand-specific things; plugs into the InfiniBand midlayer.

2007-05-08IB: Put rlimit accounting struct in struct ib_umemRoland Dreier
When memory pinned with ib_umem_get() is released, ib_umem_release() needs to subtract the amount of memory being unpinned from mm->locked_vm. However, ib_umem_release() may be called with mm->mmap_sem already held for writing if the memory is being released as part of an munmap() call, so it is sometimes necessary to defer this accounting into a workqueue. However, the work struct used to defer this accounting is dynamically allocated before it is queued, so there is the possibility of failing that allocation. If the allocation fails, then ib_umem_release has no choice except to bail out and leave the process with a permanently elevated locked_vm. Fix this by allocating the structure to defer accounting as part of the original struct ib_umem, so there's no possibility of failing a later allocation if creating the struct ib_umem and pinning memory succeeds.

2007-05-08IB/uverbs: Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() to modulesRoland Dreier
Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() and put low-level drivers in control of when to call ib_umem_get() to pin and DMA map userspace, rather than always calling it in ib_uverbs_reg_mr() before calling the low-level driver's reg_user_mr method. Also move these functions to be in the ib_core module instead of ib_uverbs, so that driver modules using them do not depend on ib_uverbs. This has a number of advantages: - It is better design from the standpoint of making generic code a library that can be used or overridden by device-specific code as the details of specific devices dictate. - Drivers that do not need to pin userspace memory regions do not need to take the performance hit of calling ib_mem_get(). For example, although I have not tried to implement it in this patch, the ipath driver should be able to avoid pinning memory and just use copy_{to,from}_user() to access userspace memory regions. - Buffers that need special mapping treatment can be identified by the low-level driver. For example, it may be possible to solve some Altix-specific memory ordering issues with mthca CQs in userspace by mapping CQ buffers with extra flags. - Drivers that need to pin and DMA map userspace memory for things other than memory regions can use ib_umem_get() directly, instead of hacks using extra parameters to their reg_phys_mr method. For example, the mlx4 driver that is pending being merged needs to pin and DMA map QP and CQ buffers, but it does not need to create a memory key for these buffers. So the cleanest solution is for mlx4 to call ib_umem_get() in the create_qp and create_cq methods. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
2007-05-09USB HID: report descriptor of Cypress USB barcode readers needs fixupJiri Kosina
Certain versions of Cypress USB barcode readers (this problem is known to happen at least with PIDs 0xde61 and 0xde64) have report descriptor which has swapped usage min and usage max tag. This results in HID parser failing for report descriptor of these devices, as it (wrongly) requires allocating more usages than HID_MAX_USAGES. Solve this by walking through the report descriptor for such devices, and swap the usage min and usage max items (and their values) to be in proper order.

2007-05-08[SPARC64] PCI: Use root list of pbm's instead of pci_controller_info'sDavid S. Miller
The idea is to move more and more things into the pbm, with the eventual goal of eliminating the pci_controller_info entirely as there really isn't any need for it. This stage of the transformations requires some reworking of the PCI error interrupt handling. It might be tricky to get rid of the pci_controller_info parenting for a few reasons: 1) When we get an uncorrectable or correctable error we want to interrogate the IOMMU and streaming cache of both PBMs for error status. These errors come from the UPA front-end which is shared between the two PBM PCI bus segments. Historically speaking this is why I choose the datastructure hierarchy of pci_controller_info-->pci_pbm_info 2) The probing does a portid/devhandle match to look for the 'other' pbm, but this is entirely an artifact and can be eliminated trivially. What we could do to solve #1 is to have a "buddy" pointer from one pbm to another. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-05-08[ARM] Fix ASID version switchRussell King
Close a hole in the ASID version switch, particularly the following scenario: CPU0 MM PID CPU1 MM PID idle A pid(A) A idle(lazy tlb) * new asid version triggered by B * B pid(B) A pid(A) * MM A gets new asid version * A idle(lazy tlb) A pid(A) * CPU1 doesn't see the new ASID * The result is that CPU1 continues running with the hardware set for the original (stale) ASID value, but mm->context.id contains the new ASID value. The result is that the next MM fault on CPU1 updates the page table entries, but flush_tlb_page() fails due to wrong ASID. There is a related case with a threaded application is allocated a new ASID on one CPU while another of its threads is running on some different CPU. This scenario is not fixed by this commit.

The function fb_set_var() will query fbcon the requirement, then it will query the driver (via a new hook fb_get_caps()) its capability. If the driver's capability cannot handle fbcon's requirement, then fb_set_var() will fail. For example, if a particular driver supports 2 modes where: mode1 = can only display 8x16 bitmaps mode2 = can display any bitmap then if current mode = mode2 and current font = 12x22 fbset <mode1> /* mode1 cannot handle 12x22 */ fbset will fail Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
