IT8721 and IT8728 support Intel PECI temperature reporting. Each sensor
can be programmed to display the temperature reported on the PECI interface.
If configured for Intel PECI, the driver reported the wrong sensor type for
the respective thermal sensor. Fix the code to correctly report it as
"Intel PECI (6)".

The macro name show_sensor_offset is confusing since it related to the sensor
type, not an offset - even more so when we introduce offset attributes later on.
Replace it with direct definitions, and replace the show_sensor/set_sensor
function names with show_temp_type/set_temp_type. This also resolves a
checkpatch error.

The smatch static code analyzer complains:
drivers/hwmon/w83627ehf.c:911 w83627ehf_update_device() error: buffer overflow 'W83627EHF_REG_TEMP_OFFSET' 3 <= 8
drivers/hwmon/w83627ehf.c:909 w83627ehf_update_device() error: buffer overflow 'data->temp_offset' 3 <= 8
drivers/hwmon/w83627ehf.c:2672 w83627ehf_resume() error: buffer overflow 'W83627EHF_REG_TEMP_OFFSET' 3 <= 8
drivers/hwmon/w83627ehf.c:2673 w83627ehf_resume() error: buffer overflow 'data->temp_offset' 3 <= 8
A deeper analysis of the code shows that these are false positives, as
only the lower 3 bits of data->have_temp_offset can be set so the
write is never attempted with i >= 3. However this shows that the code
isn't very robust and future changes could easily introduce a buffer
overflow. So let's add a safety check to prevent that and make smatch
happy.

On suspend some register values are lost, most notably the Value RAM

some fixups are needed to work around BIOS bugs, in particular when
the BIOS omits running the same initialization sequence on resume
that it does after boot. In that case we have to carry initialization
over suspend.

This renames all random32 functions to have 'prandom_' prefix as follows:
void prandom_seed(u32 seed); /* rename from srandom32() */
u32 prandom_u32(void); /* rename from random32() */
void prandom_seed_state(struct rnd_state *state, u64 seed);
/* rename from prandom32_seed() */
u32 prandom_u32_state(struct rnd_state *state);
/* rename from prandom32() */
The purpose of this renaming is to prevent some kernel developers from
assuming that prandom32() and random32() might imply that only
prandom32() was the one using a pseudo-random number generator by
prandom32's "p", and the result may be a very embarassing security
exposure. This concern was expressed by Theodore Ts'o.
And furthermore, I'm going to introduce new functions for getting the
requested number of pseudo-random bytes. If I continue to use both
prandom32 and random32 prefixes for these functions, the confusion
is getting worse.
As a result of this renaming, "prandom_" is the common prefix for
pseudo-random number library.
Currently, srandom32() and random32() are preserved because it is
difficult to rename too many users at once.

By default, the aoe driver uses any ethernet interface for AoE, but the
aoe_iflist module parameter provides a convenient way to limit AoE
traffic to a specific list of local network interfaces.
This change allows a list to be specified using the comma character as a
separator. For example,
modprobe aoe aoe_iflist=eth2,eth3
Before, it was inconvenient to get the quoting right in shell scripts
when setting aoe_iflist to have more than one network interface.

With this change, the aoe driver treats the value zero as special for
the aoe_deadsecs module parameter. Normally, this value specifies the
number of seconds during which the driver will continue to attempt
retransmits to an unresponsive AoE target. After aoe_deadsecs has
elapsed, the aoe driver marks the aoe device as "down" and fails all
I/O.
The new meaning of an aoe_deadsecs of zero is for the driver to
retransmit commands indefinitely.

Many AoE targets have four or fewer network ports, but some existing
storage devices have many, and the AoE protocol sets no limit.
This patch allows the use of more than eight remote MAC addresses per AoE
target, while reducing the amount of memory used by the aoe driver in
cases where there are many AoE targets with fewer than eight MAC addresses
each.

This change avoids a race that could result in a NULL pointer derference
following a WARNing from kobject_add_internal, "don't try to register
things with the same name in the same directory."
The problem was found with a test that forgets and discovers an
aoe device in a loop:
while test ! -r /tmp/stop; do
aoe-flush -a
aoe-discover
done
The race was between aoedev_flush taking aoedevs out of the devlist,
allowing a new discovery of the same AoE target to take place before the
driver gets around to calling sysfs_remove_group. Fixing that one
revealed another race between do_open and add_disk, and this patch avoids
that, too.
The fix required some care, because for flushing (forgetting) an aoedev,
some of the steps must be performed under lock and some must be able to
sleep. Also, for discovering a new aoedev, some steps might sleep.
The check for a bad aoedev pointer remains from a time when about half of
this patch was done, and it was possible for the
bdev->bd_disk->private_data to become corrupted. The check should be
removed eventually, but it is not expected to add significant overhead,
occurring in the aoeblk_open routine.

An AoE target can have multiple network ports used for AoE, and in the
aoe driver, those are tracked by the aoetgt struct. These changes allow
the aoe driver to handle network paths, or aoetgts, that are not working
well, compared to the others.
Paths that do not get responses despite the retransmission of AoE
commands are marked as "tainted", and non-tainted paths are preferred.
Meanwhile, the aoe driver attempts to "probe" the tainted path in the
background by issuing reads of LBA 0 that are padded out to full
(possibly jumbo-frame) size. If the probes get responses, then the path
is "redeemed", and its taint is removed.
This mechanism has been shown to be helpful in transparently handling
and recovering from real-world network "brown outs" in ways that the
earlier "shoot the help-needing target in the head" mechanism could not.

The value returned by the static minor device number number allocator is
the real minor number, so it must be multiplied by the supported number
of partitions per aoedev.
Without this fix the support for systems without udev is incomplete, and
the few users of aoe on such systems will have surprising results when
device nodes names do not match the AoE target.

Because the minor_get and related functions use the return values for
errors, the compiler doesn't know that sysminor will always either 1) be

The aoe driver will never be waiting for more than aoe_maxout AoE
commands from a given remote network port on an AoE target. Increasing
the cap increases performance. Users can tighten the setting to reduce
the amount of memory used for handling AoE traffic or the network
bandwidth used for AoE.

Before the aoe driver was an I/O request handler, it was a
make_request-style block driver. Even so, there was a problem where
sysfs expected a request queue to exist, so one was provided in commit
7135a71b19be ("aoe: allocate unused request_queue for sysfs").
During the transition to the request-handler style, a patch was merged
that was based on a driver without the noop queue, and the noop queue
remained in place after the patch was merged, even though a new
functional queue was introduced by the patch, allocated through
blk_init_queue.
The user impact is a memory leak proportional to the number of AoE
targets discovered. This patch removes the memory leak and cleans up
vestiges of the old do-nothing queue from the aoeblk_gdalloc function.

Commit f3b8e07af774 ("aoe: commands in retransmit queue use new
destination on failure") omits the copying of the coarse-grained time
when an AoE command was sent during the failover from one destination
MAC address on the AoE target to another.
The coarse-grained timing is only used when the system time changes or
an unlikely length of time has passed since the sending of the AoE
command. Users will not be impacted unless their system clock is very
inaccurate or something unusual (e.g., 10 GbE link reset) happens during
the period when the aoe driver is handling the failure of a port on the
AoE target. Being effected will mean that an AoE target could be
considered "down" too eagerly.

When one remote MAC address isn't working as a destination for AoE
commands, the frames used to track information associated with the AoE
commands are moved to a new aoetgt (defined by the tuple of {AoE major,
AoE minor, target MAC address}).
This patch makes sure that the frames on the queue for retransmits that
need to be done are updated to use the new destination, so that
retransmits will be sent through a working network path.
Without this change, packets on the retransmit queue will be needlessly
retransmitted to the unresponsive destination MAC, possibly causing
premature target failure before there's time for the retransmit timer to
run again, decide to retransmit again, and finally update the destination
to a working MAC address on the AoE target.

These changes improve the accuracy of the decision about whether it's time
to retransmit an AoE command by using the microsecond-resolution
gettimeofday instead of jiffies.
Because the system time can jump suddenly, the decision reverts to using
jiffies if the high-resolution time difference is relatively large.
Otherwise the AoE targets could be considered failed inappropriately.

With this bugfix in place the calculation of the criterion for "lateness"
is performed under lock. Without the lock, there is a chance that one of
the non-atomic operations performed on the round trip time statistics
could be incomplete, such that an incorrect lateness criterion would be
calculated.
Without this change, the effect of the bug would be rare unecessary but
benign retransmissions.

The /dev/etherd/err character device provides low-level information about
normal but sometimes interesting AoE command retransmits and "unexpected
responses", i.e., responses for packets that have already been
retransmitted.
This change adds MAC addresses to the messages about unexpected responses,
so that when they occur, it's more easy to determine the network paths to
which they belong.

The aoe driver already had some congestion handling, but it was limited in
its ability to cope with the kind of congestion that can arise on more
complex networks such as those involving paths through multiple ethernet
switches.
Some of the lessons from TCP's history of development can be applied to
improving the congestion control and avoidance on AoE storage networks.
These changes use familar concepts from Van Jacobson's "Congestion
Avoidance and Control" paper from '88, without adding significant
overhead.
This patch depends on an upcoming patch that covers the failover case when
AoE commands being retransmitted are transferred from one retransmit queue
to another. Another upcoming patch increases the timing accuracy.
