gdth: replace struct timeval with ktime_get_real_seconds()

2016-02-26T02:16:49Z

struct timeval will overflow on 32-bit systems in y2038 and is being removed from the kernel. Replace the use of struct timeval and do_gettimeofday() with ktime_get_real_seconds() which provides a 64-bit seconds value and is y2038 safe. gdth driver requires changes in two areas: 1) gdth_store_event() loads two u32 timestamp fields for ioctl GDTIOCTL_EVENT These timestamp fields are part of struct gdth_evt_str used for passing event data to userspace. At the first instance of an event we do (first_stamp=last_stamp="current time"). If that same event repeats, we do (last_stamp="current time") AND increment same_count to indicate how many times the event has repeated since first_stamp. This patch replaces the use of timeval and do_gettimeofday() with ktime_get_real_seconds() cast to u32 to extend the timestamp fields to y2106. Beyond y2106, the userspace tools (ie. RAID controller monitors) can work around the time rollover and this driver would still not need to change. Alternative: The alternative approach is to introduce a new ioctl in gdth with the u32 time fields defined as u64. This would require userspace changes now, but not in y2106. 2) gdth_show_info() calculates elapsed time using u32 first_stamp It is adding events with timestamps to a seq_file. Timestamps are calculated as the "current time" minus the first_stamp. This patch replaces the use of timeval and do_gettimeofday() with ktime_get_real_seconds() cast to u32 to calculate the timestamp. This elapsed time calculation is safe even when the time wraps (beyond y2106) due to how unsigned subtraction works. A comment has been added to the code to indicate this safety. Alternative: This piece itself doesn't warrant an alternative, but if we do introduce a new structure & ioctl with u64 timestamps, this would change accordingly.

scsi: replace seq_printf with seq_puts

Using seq_printf to print a simple string is a lot more expensive than it needs to be, since seq_puts exists. Replace seq_printf with seq_puts when possible. Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes Reviewed-by: Finn Thain Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32Z

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 -> 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.

block: unify request timeout handling

2008-10-09T06:56:13Z

Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling. Move those bits to the block layer. Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot less timer fiddling. Signed-off-by: Mike Anderson Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

[SCSI] gdth: don't call pci_free_consistent under spinlock

2008-02-18T15:02:25Z

The spinlock is held over too large a region: pscratch is a permanent address (it's allocated at boot time and never changes). All you need the smp lock for is mediating the scratch in use flag, so fix this by moving the spinlock into the case where we set the pscratch_busy flag to false.
