2007-10-23[SCSI] sym53c8xx: Remove pci_dev pointer from sym_shcbMatthew Wilcox
This structure is accessed by the device; the fewer Linux things in it, the better. Using the pci_dev pointer from the hostdata requires a lot of changes: - Pass Scsi_Host to a lot of routines which currently take a sym_hcb. - Set the Scsi_Host as the pci drvdata (instead of the sym_hcb) Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
2007-10-23[SCSI] sym53c8xx: Make interrupt handler capable of returning IRQ_NONEMatthew Wilcox
Make sym_interrupt return an irqreturn_t instead of void, and take a Scsi_Host instead of a sym_hcb. Pass the Scsi_Host to the interrupt handler instead of the sym_hcb. Rename the host_data to sym_data. Keep a pci_dev pointer in the sym_data. Rename the Scsi_Host from instance to shost.

2007-10-23[SCSI] sym53c8xx: Use scmd_printk where appropriateMatthew Wilcox
If we have a scsi_cmnd, it gives the user more information than the sym_name, and maybe the target. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
2007-10-23[SCSI] sym53c8xx: Simplify DAC DMA handlingMatthew Wilcox
By introducing the use_dac(), set_dac() and DMA_DAC_MASK macros, we can eliminate a lot of ifdefs from the code. We now rely on the compiler to optimise away a few things that we'd formerly relied on the preprocessor to do. This makes sym_setup_bus_dma_mask() small enough to inline into its only caller.

2007-10-23[SCSI] sym53c8xx: Remove tag_ctrl module parameterMatthew Wilcox

This patch adds the PCI error recovery callbacks to the Symbios SCSI device driver. It includes support for First Failure Data Capture.

2007-10-23[SCSI] sym53c8xx: Stop overriding scsi_doneMatthew Wilcox
Instead of telling the reset routine that the command completed from sym_eh_done, do it from sym_xpt_done. The 'to_do' element of the ucmd is redundant -- it serves only to tell whether eh_done is valid or not, and we can tell this by checking to see if it's NULL.

2007-10-23[SCSI] sym53c8xx: Don't disable interrupts in the interrupt handlerMatthew Wilcox

2007-10-23[SCSI] sym53c8xx: Remove unnecessary check in queuecommandMatthew Wilcox
The midlayer won't scan the host ID, so we don't need to check. This is the only caller of sym_xpt_done2, so remove that too. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
2007-10-23[SCSI] sym53c8xx: Remove data_mapping and data_mappedMatthew Wilcox
Before all commands used sg, data_mapping and data_mapped were used to distinguish whether the command had used map_single or map_sg. Now all commands are sg, so we can delete data_mapping, data_mapped and the wrapper functions __unmap_scsi_data, __map_scsi_sg_data, unmap_scsi_data and map_scsi_sg_data.

Commits 58b053e4ce9d2fc3023645c1b96e537c72aa8d9a ("Update arch/ to use sg helpers") 45711f1af6eff1a6d010703b4862e0d2b9afd056 ("[SG] Update drivers to use sg helpers") fa05f1286be25a8ce915c5dd492aea61126b3f33 ("Update net/ to use sg helpers") converted many files to use the scatter gather helpers without ensuring that the necessary headerfile <linux/scatterlist> is included. This happened to work for ia64, powerpc, sparc64 and x86 because they happened to drag in that file via their <asm/dma-mapping.h>. On most of the others this probably broke. Instead of increasing the header file spider web I choose to include <linux/scatterlist.h> directly into the affectes files.

2007-10-23[SCSI] qla1280: eliminate wasted space in request and response ringJohannes Dickgreber
i think there is wasted space in allocated pages for request and response rings. The allocations are made with REQUEST_ENTRY_CNT + 1 and RESPONSE_ENTRY_CNT + 1, but they are set with 256 and 16.

2007-10-23m68knommu: new style ColdFire UART driverGreg Ungerer
A new style serial driver for the Freescale ColdFire UART to replace the old style one currently in the tree (drivers/serial/mcfserial.c).

2007-10-23generalize lgread_u32/lgwrite_u32.Rusty Russell
Jes complains that page table code still uses lgread_u32 even though it now uses general kernel pte types. The best thing to do is to generalize lgread_u32 and lgwrite_u32. This means we lose the efficiency of getuser(). We could potentially regain it if we used __copy_from_user instead of copy_from_user, but I'm not certain that our range check is equivalent to access_ok() on all platforms.

2007-10-23Lguest support for VirtioRusty Russell
This makes lguest able to use the virtio devices. We change the device descriptor page from a simple array to a variable length "type, config_len, status, config data..." format, and implement virtio_config_ops to read from that config data. We use the virtio ring implementation for an efficient Guest <-> Host virtqueue mechanism, and the new LHCALL_NOTIFY hypercall to kick the host when it changes. We also use LHCALL_NOTIFY on kernel addresses for very very early console output. We could have another hypercall, but this hack works quite well. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2007-10-23Remove old lguest I/O infrrasructure.Rusty Russell
This patch gets rid of the old lguest host I/O infrastructure and replaces it with a single hypercall "LHCALL_NOTIFY" which takes an address. The main change is the removal of io.c: that mainly did inter-guest I/O, which virtio doesn't yet support. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2007-10-23Remove old lguest bus and drivers.Rusty Russell
This gets rid of the lguest bus, drivers and DMA mechanism, to make way for a generic virtio mechanism. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2007-10-23Virtio helper routines for a descriptor ringbuffer implementationRusty Russell
These helper routines supply most of the virtqueue_ops for hypervisors which want to use a ring for virtio. Unlike the previous lguest implementation: 1) The rings are variable sized (2^n-1 elements). 2) They have an unfortunate limit of 65535 bytes per sg element. 3) The page numbers are always 64 bit (PAE anyone?) 4) They no longer place used[] on a separate page, just a separate cacheline. 5) We do a modulo on a variable. We could be tricky if we cared. 6) Interrupts and notifies are suppressed using flags within the rings. Users need only get the ring pages and provide a notify hook (KVM wants the guest to allocate the rings, lguest does it sanely).
