<id>urn:sha1:5a0e3ad6af8660be21ca98a971cd00f331318c05</id>
<content type='text'>
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -&gt; slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

<title>mlx4_core: Avoid double free_icms</title>

<content type='text'>
On the error path of mlx4_init_hca(), mlx4_close_hca() is called,
followed by mlx4_free_icms() and mlx4_UNMAP_FA().  But both those
functions are also called from mlx4_close_hca(), which leads to a
double free.

<title>mlx4_core: Allocate and map sufficient ICM memory for EQ context</title>
<updated>2009-09-06T03:24:49Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=fa0681d2129732027355d6b7083dd8932b9b799d'/>
<id>urn:sha1:fa0681d2129732027355d6b7083dd8932b9b799d</id>
<content type='text'>
The current implementation allocates a single host page for EQ context
memory, which was OK when we only allocated a few EQs.  However, since
we now allocate an EQ for each CPU core, this patch removes the
hard-coded limit (which we exceed with 4 KB pages and 128 byte EQ
context entries with 32 CPUs) and uses the same ICM table code as all
other context tables, which ends up simplifying the code quite a bit
while fixing the problem.

This problem was actually hit in practice on a dual-socket Nehalem box
with 16 real hardware threads and sufficiently odd ACPI tables that it
shows on boot

    SMP: Allowing 32 CPUs, 16 hotplug CPUs

so num_possible_cpus() ends up 32, and mlx4 ends up creating 33 MSI-X
interrupts and 33 EQs.  This mlx4 bug means that mlx4 can't even
initialize at all on this quite mainstream system.

The old code used two calls to pci_request_region() to get the two BARs
for the mlx4 device, for no particularly good reason.  Clean up the code
a little by converting this to a single call to pci_request_regions().
