2014-11-07misc: genwqe: check for error from get_user_pages_fast()Ian Abbott
`genwqe_user_vmap()` calls `get_user_pages_fast()` and if the return value is less than the number of pages requested, it frees the pages and returns an error (`-EFAULT`). However, it fails to consider a negative error return value from `get_user_pages_fast()`. In that case, the test `if (rc < m->nr_pages)` will be false (due to promotion of `rc` to a large `unsigned int`) and the code will continue on to call `genwqe_map_pages()` with an invalid list of page pointers. Fix it by bailing out if `get_user_pages_fast()` returns a negative error value.

2014-09-23GenWQE: Support blocking when DDCB queue is busyFrank Haverkamp
When the GenWQE hardware queue was busy, the driver returned simply -EBUSY. This caused polling by applications which increased the load on the already busy system. This change implements the possiblity to sleep on a waitqueue instead when the DDCB queue is busy. The requestor is woken up when there is free space on the queue again. The old way to get -EBUSY is still available if the device is openend with O_NONBLOCKING. The default is now blocking behavior.

A special sysfs entry to display the driver version is not needed. We left the driver version and adjusted it to the naming a lot of other drivers use.

2014-07-09misc/GenWQE: fix pci_enable_msi usageSebastian Ott
GenWQE used to call pci_enable_msi_block to allocate a desired number of MSI's. If that was not possible pci_enable_msi_block returned with a smaller number which might be possible to allocate. GenWQE then called pci_enable_msi_block with that number. Since commit a30d0108b "GenWQE: Use pci_enable_msi_exact() instead of pci_enable_msi_block()" pci_enable_msi_exact is used which fails if the desired number of MSI's was not possible to allocate. Change GenWQE to use pci_enable_msi_range to restore the old behavior.

2014-07-09GenWQE: Improve hardware error recoveryKleber Sacilotto de Souza
Currently, in the event of a fatal hardware error, the driver tries a recovery procedure that calls pci_reset_function() to reset the card. This is not sufficient in some cases, needing a fundamental reset to bring the card back. This patch implements a call to the platform fundamental reset procedure on the error recovery path if GENWQE_PLATFORM_ERROR_RECOVERY is enabled. This is implemented by default only on PPC64, since this can cause problems on other archs, e.g. zSeries, where the platform has its own recovery procedures, leading to a potencial race conditition. For these cases, the recovery is kept as it was before.

2014-07-09GenWQE: Add support for EEH error recoveryKleber Sacilotto de Souza
This patch implements the callbacks and functions necessary to have EEH recovery support. It adds a config option to enable or disable explicit calls to trigger platform specific mechanisms on error recovery paths. This option is enabled by default only on PPC64 systems and can be overritten via debugfs. If this option is enabled, on the error recovery path the driver will call pci_channel_offline() to check for error condition and issue non-raw MMIO reads to trigger early EEH detection in case of hardware failures. This is necessary since the driver MMIO helper funtions use raw accessors.

2013-12-20GenWQE: Fix endian issues detected by sparseFrank Haverkamp
Fengguang Wu used CF=-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__ to check the GenWQE driver for endian issues. Sparse found a couple of those. Most of them were caused by not correctly handling __be64/32 and __u64/32. Those I was able to fix with appropriate castings. One more serious issue was the ATS entry in struct genwqe_ddcb_cmd. The kernel expected it in big-endian, but the type was defined __u64. I decided that it is better to keep the interface consistent using host endian byte-odering instead of having a mixture. With this change the kernel likes to see host endian byte order for the ATS entry. That would have been an interface change, if someone would have used the driver already. Since this is not the case, I hope it is ok to fix it now. For the genqwe_readq/writeq/readl/writel functions I enforced the casts. It still complains, as far as I can see, about some copy_to/from_user() usages: CHECK char-misc/drivers/misc/genwqe/card_dev.c char-misc/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:625:18: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different modifiers) char-misc/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:625:18: expected void *<noident> char-misc/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:625:18: got void const *from char-misc/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:625:18: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different modifiers) char-misc/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:625:18: expected void *<noident> char-misc/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:625:18: got void const *from char-misc/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:625:18: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different modifiers) char-misc/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:625:18: expected void *<noident> char-misc/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:625:18: got void const *from char-misc/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:625:18: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different modifiers) char-misc/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:625:18: expected void *<noident> char-misc/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:625:18: got void const *from CC [M] drivers/misc/genwqe/card_dev.o CHECK char-misc/drivers/misc/genwqe/card_ddcb.c char-misc/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:625:18: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different modifiers) char-misc/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:625:18: expected void *<noident> char-misc/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:625:18: got void const *from char-misc/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:625:18: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different modifiers) char-misc/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:625:18: expected void *<noident> char-misc/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:625:18: got void const *from CC [M] drivers/misc/genwqe/card_ddcb.o LD [M] drivers/misc/genwqe/genwqe_card.o I appreciate some help from you to figure out what is causig those, and making a proposal how to fix them.

2013-12-18GenWQE Character device and DDCB queueFrank Haverkamp
The GenWQE card itself provides access to a generic work queue into which the work can be put, which should be executed, e.g. compression or decompression request, or whatever the card was configured to do. Each request comes with a set of input data (ASV) and will produce some output data (ASIV). The request will also contain a sequence number, some timestamps and a command code/subcode plus some fields for hardware-/ software-interaction. A request can contain references to blocks of memory. Since the card requires DMA-addresses of that memory, the driver provides two ways to solve that task: 1) The drivers mmap() will allocate some DMAable memory for the user. The driver has a lookup table such that the virtual userspace address can properly be replaced and checked. 2) The user allocates memory and the driver will pin/unpin that memory and setup a scatter gatherlist with matching DMA addresses. Currently work requests are synchronous.
