2016-07-25net/ncsi: avoid maybe-uninitialized warningArnd Bergmann
gcc-4.9 and higher warn about the newly added NSCI code: net/ncsi/ncsi-manage.c: In function 'ncsi_process_next_channel': net/ncsi/ncsi-manage.c:1003:2: error: 'old_state' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] The warning is a false positive and therefore harmless, but it would be good to avoid it anyway. I have determined that the barrier in the spin_unlock_irqsave() is what confuses gcc to the point that it cannot track whether the variable was unused or not. This rearranges the code in a way that makes it obvious to gcc that old_state is always initialized at the time of use, functionally this should not change anything.

2016-07-19net/ncsi: NCSI AEN packet handlerGavin Shan
This introduces NCSI AEN packet handlers that result in (A) the currently active channel is reconfigured; (B) Currently active channel is deconfigured and disabled, another channel is chosen as active one and configured. Case (B) won't happen if hardware arbitration has been enabled, the channel that was in active state is suspended simply.

2016-07-19net/ncsi: Package and channel managementGavin Shan
This manages NCSI packages and channels: * The available packages and channels are enumerated in the first time of calling ncsi_start_dev(). The channels' capabilities are probed in the meanwhile. The NCSI network topology won't change until the NCSI device is destroyed. * There in a queue in every NCSI device. The element in the queue, channel, is waiting for configuration (bringup) or suspending (teardown). The channel's state (inactive/active) indicates the futher action (configuration or suspending) will be applied on the channel. Another channel's state (invisible) means the requested action is being applied. * The hardware arbitration will be enabled if all available packages and channels support it. All available channels try to provide service when hardware arbitration is enabled. Otherwise, one channel is selected as the active one at once. * When channel is in active state, meaning it's providing service, a timer started to retrieve the channe's link status. If the channel's link status fails to be updated in the determined period, the channel is going to be reconfigured. It's the error handling implementation as defined in NCSI spec.

2016-07-19net/ncsi: NCSI response packet handlerGavin Shan
The NCSI response packets are sent to MC (Management Controller) from the remote end. They are responses of NCSI command packets for multiple purposes: completion status of NCSI command packets, return NCSI channel's capability or configuration etc. This defines struct to represent NCSI response packets and introduces function ncsi_rcv_rsp() which will be used to receive NCSI response packets and parse them.

2016-07-19net/ncsi: NCSI command packet handlerGavin Shan
The NCSI command packets are sent from MC (Management Controller) to remote end. They are used for multiple purposes: probe existing NCSI package/channel, retrieve NCSI channel's capability, configure NCSI channel etc. This defines struct to represent NCSI command packets and introduces function ncsi_xmit_cmd(), which will be used to transmit NCSI command packet according to the request. The request is represented by struct ncsi_cmd_arg. Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan <gwshan@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Joel Stanley <joel@jms.id.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2016-07-19net/ncsi: Resource managementGavin Shan
NCSI spec (DSP0222) defines several objects: package, channel, mode, filter, version and statistics etc. This introduces the data structs to represent those objects and implement functions to manage them. Also, this introduces CONFIG_NET_NCSI for the newly implemented NCSI stack. * The user (e.g. netdev driver) dereference NCSI device by "struct ncsi_dev", which is embedded to "struct ncsi_dev_priv". The later one is used by NCSI stack internally. * Every NCSI device can have multiple packages simultaneously, up to 8 packages. It's represented by "struct ncsi_package" and identified by 3-bits ID. * Every NCSI package can have multiple channels, up to 32. It's represented by "struct ncsi_channel" and identified by 5-bits ID. * Every NCSI channel has version, statistics, various modes and filters. They are represented by "struct ncsi_channel_version", "struct ncsi_channel_stats", "struct ncsi_channel_mode" and "struct ncsi_channel_filter" separately. * Apart from AEN (Asynchronous Event Notification), the NCSI stack works in terms of command and response. This introduces "struct ncsi_req" to represent a complete NCSI transaction made of NCSI request and response. link: https://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP0222_1.1.0.pdf Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan <gwshan@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Joel Stanley <joel@jms.id.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
