2011-10-31net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modulesPaul Gortmaker
These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence of module.h from everywhere. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2010-09-08RDS: remove __init and __exit annotationZach Brown
The trivial amount of memory saved isn't worth the cost of dealing with section mismatches. Signed-off-by: Zach Brown <zach.brown@oracle.com>
2010-09-08RDS: return to a single-threaded krdsdZach Brown
We were seeing very nasty bugs due to fundamental assumption the current code makes about concurrent work struct processing. The code simpy isn't able to handle concurrent connection shutdown work function execution today, for example, which is very much possible once a multi-threaded krdsd was introduced. The problem compounds as additional work structs are added to the mix. krdsd is no longer perforance critical now that send and receive posting and FMR flushing are done elsewhere, so the safest fix is to move back to the single threaded krdsd that the current code was built around.

2010-09-08rds: fix rds_send_xmit() serializationZach Brown
rds_send_xmit() was changed to hold an interrupt masking spinlock instead of a mutex so that it could be called from the IB receive tasklet path. This broke the TCP transport because its xmit method can block and masks and unmasks interrupts. This patch serializes callers to rds_send_xmit() with a simple bit instead of the current spinlock or previous mutex. This enables rds_send_xmit() to be called from any context and to call functions which block. Getting rid of the c_send_lock exposes the bare c_lock acquisitions which are changed to block interrupts. A waitqueue is added so that rds_conn_shutdown() can wait for callers to leave rds_send_xmit() before tearing down partial send state. This lets us get rid of c_senders. rds_send_xmit() is changed to check the conn state after acquiring the RDS_IN_XMIT bit to resolve races with the shutdown path. Previously both worked with the conn state and then the lock in the same order, allowing them to race and execute the paths concurrently. rds_send_reset() isn't racing with rds_send_xmit() now that rds_conn_shutdown() properly ensures that rds_send_xmit() can't start once the conn state has been changed. We can remove its previous use of the spinlock. Finally, c_send_generation is redundant. Callers can race to test the c_flags bit by simply retrying instead of racing to test the c_send_generation atomic. Signed-off-by: Zach Brown <zach.brown@oracle.com>
2010-09-08RDS: cleanup: remove "== NULL"s and "!= NULL"s in ptr comparisonsAndy Grover
Favor "if (foo)" style over "if (foo != NULL)". Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <andy.grover@oracle.com>
2010-09-08RDS: move rds_shutdown_worker impl. to rds_conn_shutdownAndy Grover
This fits better in connection.c, rather than threads.c. Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <andy.grover@oracle.com>
2010-03-16RDS: Enable per-cpu workqueue threadsTina Yang
Create per-cpu workqueue threads instead of a single krdsd thread. This is a step towards better scalability. Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <andy.grover@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-08-23RDS: Export symbols from core RDSAndy Grover
Now that rdma and tcp transports will be modularized, we need to export a number of functions so they can call them. Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <andy.grover@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-02-26RDS: Connection handlingAndy Grover
While arguably the fact that the underlying transport needs a connection to convey RDS's datagrame reliably is not important to rds proper, the transports implemented so far (IB and TCP) have both been connection-oriented, and so the connection state machine-related code is in the common rds code. This patch also includes several work items, to handle connecting, sending, receiving, and shutdown. Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <andy.grover@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
