2006-11-22WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context dataDavid Howells
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the work_struct by calling work_release(). In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR). Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2006-09-26PCI-Express AER implemetation: AER core and aerdriverZhang, Yanmin
Patch 3 implements the core part of PCI-Express AER and aerdrv port service driver. When a root port service device is probed, the aerdrv will call request_irq to register irq handler for AER error interrupt. When a device sends an PCI-Express error message to the root port, the root port will trigger an interrupt, by either MSI or IO-APIC, then kernel would run the irq handler. The handler collects root error status register and schedules a work. The work will call the core part to process the error based on its type (Correctable/non-fatal/fatal). As for Correctable errors, the patch chooses to just clear the correctable error status register of the device. As for the non-fatal error, the patch follows generic PCI error handler rules to call the error callback functions of the endpoint's driver. If the device is a bridge, the patch chooses to broadcast the error to downstream devices. As for the fatal error, the patch resets the pci-express link and follows generic PCI error handler rules to call the error callback functions of the endpoint's driver. If the device is a bridge, the patch chooses to broadcast the error to downstream devices. Signed-off-by: Zhang Yanmin <yanmin.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
