mei: remove dev_err message on an unsupported ioctl

2018-03-14T18:33:13Z

Currently the driver spams the kernel log on unsupported ioctls which is unnecessary as the ioctl returns -ENOIOCTLCMD to indicate this anyway. I suspect this was originally for debugging purposes but it really is not required so remove it. Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King Cc: stable Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: limit the number of queued writes

2018-03-14T18:33:13Z

Limit the number of queued writes per client. Writes above this threshold are blocked till place in the transmit queue is available. The limit is configurable via sysfs and defaults to 50. The implementation should provide blocking I/O behavior. Prior to this change one would end up in the hands of OOM.

vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement

2018-02-11T22:34:03Z

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL* variables as described by Al, done by this script: for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^$[^\"]*$$\$/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done with de-mangling cleanups yet to come. NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost". For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al. The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we should be all done. Scripted-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

annotate poll_table_struct ->_key

Only POLL... bitmaps ever end up there and their only use is checking for POLL... bits in them. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

mei: implement fsync

2017-04-08T15:38:25Z

When write() returns successfully, it is only assumed that a message was successfully queued. Add fsync syscall implementation to help user-space ensure that all data is written. Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: drop amthif internal client

2017-04-08T15:38:25Z

AMTHIF has special support in the mei drive, it handles multiplexing multiple user space connection above single me client connection. Since there is no additional addressing information there is a strict requirement on the traffic order on each connection and on the "read after write" order within the connection. This creates a lot of complexity mostly because the other client types do not necessarily fall under the same restriction. After carefully studying the use of the AMTHIF client, we came to conclusion that the multiplexing is not really utilized by any application and we may safely remove that support and significantly simplify the driver.

mei: remove support for broken parallel read

2017-02-10T14:20:44Z

Parallel reads from multiple threads on a file descriptor are not well defined and racy. It is safer to return to original behavior and simply fail the additional read. The solution is to remove request for next read credit.

mei: enable to set the internal flag for client write

2016-11-10T12:18:02Z

Prepare the client write functions to set the internal flag in message header. Carry both blocking and internal modes inside the transmit cb, and call internal bus function __mei_cl_send() with send mode bit mask. The Internal flag should be added only on messages generated by the driver. Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
