Dan Williams ad283ea4a3 async_tx: add sum check flags
Replace the flat zero_sum_result with a collection of flags to contain
the P (xor) zero-sum result, and the soon to be utilized Q (raid6 reed
solomon syndrome) zero-sum result.  Use the SUM_CHECK_ namespace instead
of DMA_ since these flags will be used on non-dma-zero-sum enabled
platforms.

Dan Williams 04ce9ab385 async_xor: permit callers to pass in a 'dma/page scribble' region
async_xor() needs space to perform dma and page address conversions.  In
most cases the code can simply reuse the struct page * array because the
size of the native pointer matches the size of a dma/page address.  In
order to support archs where sizeof(dma_addr_t) is larger than
sizeof(struct page *), or to preserve the input parameters, we utilize a
memory region passed in by the caller.

Since the code is now prepared to handle the case where it cannot
perform address conversions on the stack, we no longer need the
!HIGHMEM64G dependency in drivers/dma/Kconfig.

[ Impact: don't clobber input buffers for address conversions ]

Dan Williams a08abd8ca8 async_tx: structify submission arguments, add scribble
Prepare the api for the arrival of a new parameter, 'scribble'.  This
will allow callers to identify scratchpad memory for dma address or page
address conversions.  As this adds yet another parameter, take this
opportunity to convert the common submission parameters (flags,
dependency, callback, and callback argument) into an object that is
passed by reference.

Also, take this opportunity to fix up the kerneldoc and add notes about
the relevant ASYNC_TX_* flags for each routine.

[ Impact: moves api pass-by-value parameters to a pass-by-reference struct ]

Dan Williams 88ba2aa586 async_tx: kill ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK flag
In support of inter-channel chaining async_tx utilizes an ack flag to
gate whether a dependent operation can be chained to another.  While the
flag is not set the chain can be considered open for appending.  Setting
the ack flag closes the chain and flags the descriptor for garbage
collection.  The ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK flag essentially means "close the
chain after adding this dependency".  Since each operation can only have
one child the api now implicitly sets the ack flag at dependency
submission time.  This removes an unnecessary management burden from
clients of the api.

[ Impact: clean up and enforce one dependency per operation ]

Dan Williams 099f53cb50 async_tx: rename zero_sum to val
'zero_sum' does not properly describe the operation of generating parity
and checking that it validates against an existing buffer.  Change the
name of the operation to 'val' (for 'validate').  This is in
anticipation of the p+q case where it is a requirement to identify the
target parity buffers separately from the source buffers, because the
target parity buffers will not have corresponding pq coefficients.

Dan Williams 6f49a57aa5 dmaengine: up-level reference counting to the module level
Simply, if a client wants any dmaengine channel then prevent all dmaengine
modules from being removed.  Once the clients are done re-enable module
removal.

Why?, beyond reducing complication:
1/ Tracking reference counts per-transaction in an efficient manner, as
   is currently done, requires a complicated scheme to avoid cache-line
   bouncing effects.
2/ Per-transaction ref-counting gives the false impression that a
   dma-driver can be gracefully removed ahead of its user (net, md, or
   dma-slave)
3/ None of the in-tree dma-drivers talk to hot pluggable hardware, but
   if such an engine were built one day we still would not need to notify
   clients of remove events.  The driver can simply return NULL to a
   ->prep() request, something that is much easier for a client to handle.

Dan Williams a06d568f7c async_xor: dma_map destination DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL
Mapping the destination multiple times is a misuse of the dma-api.
Since the destination may be reused as a source, ensure that it is only
mapped once and that it is mapped bidirectionally.  This appears to add
ugliness on the unmap side in that it always reads back the destination
address from the descriptor, but gcc can determine that dma_unmap is a
nop and not emit the code that calculates its arguments.

Dan Williams 1e55db2d6b async_tx: ensure the xor destination buffer remains dma-mapped
When the number of source buffers for an xor operation exceeds the hardware
channel maximum async_xor creates a chain of dependent operations.  The result
of one operation is reused as an input to the next to continue the xor
calculation.  The destination buffer should remain mapped for the duration of
the entire chain.  To provide this guarantee the code must no longer be allowed
to fallback to the synchronous path as this will preclude the buffer from being
unmapped, i.e. the dma-driver will potentially miss the descriptor with
!DMA_COMPL_SKIP_DEST_UNMAP.

Franck Bui-Huu 82524746c2 rcu: split list.h and move rcu-protected lists into rculist.h
Move rcu-protected lists from list.h into a new header file rculist.h.

This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the
kernel and it's currently impossible to include other header files in this
list.h without creating some circular dependencies.

For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference()
without including rcupdate.h.  It actually compiles because users of
rcu_dereference() are macros.  Others RCU functions could be used too but
aren't probably because of this.

Therefore this patch creates rculist.h which includes rcupdates without to
many changes/troubles.

Dan Williams 636bdeaa12 dmaengine: ack to flags: make use of the unused bits in the 'ack' field
'ack' is currently a simple integer that flags whether or not a client is done
touching fields in the given descriptor.  It is effectively just a single bit
of information.  Converting this to a flags parameter allows the other bits to
be put to use to control completion actions, like dma-unmap, and capture
results, like xor-zero-sum == 0.

Changes are one of:
1/ convert all open-coded ->ack manipulations to use async_tx_ack
   and async_tx_test_ack.
2/ set the ack bit at prep time where possible
3/ make drivers store the flags at prep time
4/ add flags to the device_prep_dma_interrupt prototype

Dan Williams 0036731c88 async_tx: kill tx_set_src and tx_set_dest methods
The tx_set_src and tx_set_dest methods were originally implemented to allow
an array of addresses to be passed down from async_xor to the dmaengine
driver while minimizing stack overhead.  Removing these methods allows
drivers to have all transaction parameters available at 'prep' time, saves
two function pointers in struct dma_async_tx_descriptor, and reduces the
number of indirect branches..

A consequence of moving this data to the 'prep' routine is that
multi-source routines like async_xor need temporary storage to convert an
array of linear addresses into an array of dma addresses.  In order to keep
the same stack footprint of the previous implementation the input array is
reused as storage for the dma addresses.  This requires that
sizeof(dma_addr_t) be less than or equal to sizeof(void *).  As a
consequence CONFIG_DMADEVICES now depends on !CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G.  It also
requires that drivers be able to make descriptor resources available when
the 'prep' routine is polled.

Dan Williams 9bc89cd82d async_tx: add the async_tx api
The async_tx api provides methods for describing a chain of asynchronous
bulk memory transfers/transforms with support for inter-transactional
dependencies.  It is implemented as a dmaengine client that smooths over
the details of different hardware offload engine implementations.  Code
that is written to the api can optimize for asynchronous operation and the
api will fit the chain of operations to the available offload resources. 
 
	I imagine that any piece of ADMA hardware would register with the
	'async_*' subsystem, and a call to async_X would be routed as
	appropriate, or be run in-line. - Neil Brown

async_tx exploits the capabilities of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor to
provide an api of the following general format:

struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *
async_<operation>(..., struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *depend_tx,
			dma_async_tx_callback cb_fn, void *cb_param)
{
	struct dma_chan *chan = async_tx_find_channel(depend_tx, <operation>);
	struct dma_device *device = chan ? chan->device : NULL;
	int int_en = cb_fn ? 1 : 0;
	struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx = device ?
		device->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_en) : NULL;

	if (tx) { /* run <operation> asynchronously */
		...
		tx->tx_set_dest(addr, tx, index);
		...
		tx->tx_set_src(addr, tx, index);
		...
		async_tx_submit(chan, tx, flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
	} else { /* run <operation> synchronously */
		...
		<operation>
		...
		async_tx_sync_epilog(flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
	}

	return tx;
}

async_tx_find_channel() returns a capable channel from its pool.  The
channel pool is organized as a per-cpu array of channel pointers.  The
async_tx_rebalance() routine is tasked with managing these arrays.  In the
uniprocessor case async_tx_rebalance() tries to spread responsibility
evenly over channels of similar capabilities.  For example if there are two
copy+xor channels, one will handle copy operations and the other will
handle xor.  In the SMP case async_tx_rebalance() attempts to spread the
operations evenly over the cpus, e.g. cpu0 gets copy channel0 and xor
channel0 while cpu1 gets copy channel 1 and xor channel 1.  When a
dependency is specified async_tx_find_channel defaults to keeping the
operation on the same channel.  A xor->copy->xor chain will stay on one
channel if it supports both operation types, otherwise the transaction will
transition between a copy and a xor resource.

Currently the raid5 implementation in the MD raid456 driver has been
converted to the async_tx api.  A driver for the offload engines on the
Intel Xscale series of I/O processors, iop-adma, is provided in a later
commit.  With the iop-adma driver and async_tx, raid456 is able to offload
copy, xor, and xor-zero-sum operations to hardware engines.
 
On iop342 tiobench showed higher throughput for sequential writes (20 - 30%
improvement) and sequential reads to a degraded array (40 - 55%
improvement).  For the other cases performance was roughly equal, +/- a few
percentage points.  On a x86-smp platform the performance of the async_tx
implementation (in synchronous mode) was also +/- a few percentage points
of the original implementation.  According to 'top' on iop342 CPU
utilization drops from ~50% to ~15% during a 'resync' while the speed
according to /proc/mdstat doubles from ~25 MB/s to ~50 MB/s.
 
The tiobench command line used for testing was: tiobench --size 2048
--block 4096 --block 131072 --dir /mnt/raid --numruns 5
* iop342 had 1GB of memory available

Details:
* if CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=n the asynchronous path is compiled away by making
  async_tx_find_channel a static inline routine that always returns NULL
* when a callback is specified for a given transaction an interrupt will
  fire at operation completion time and the callback will occur in a
  tasklet.  if the the channel does not support interrupts then a live
  polling wait will be performed
* the api is written as a dmaengine client that requests all available
  channels
* In support of dependencies the api implicitly schedules channel-switch
  interrupts.  The interrupt triggers the cleanup tasklet which causes
  pending operations to be scheduled on the next channel
* Xor engines treat an xor destination address differently than a software
  xor routine.  To the software routine the destination address is an implied
  source, whereas engines treat it as a write-only destination.  This patch
  modifies the xor_blocks routine to take a an explicit destination address
  to mirror the hardware.

Changelog:
* fixed a leftover debug print
* don't allow callbacks in async_interrupt_cond
* fixed xor_block changes
* fixed usage of ASYNC_TX_XOR_DROP_DEST
* drop dma mapping methods, suggested by Chris Leech
* printk warning fixups from Andrew Morton
* don't use inline in C files, Adrian Bunk
* select the API when MD is enabled
* BUG_ON xor source counts <= 1
* implicitly handle hardware concerns like channel switching and
  interrupts, Neil Brown
* remove the per operation type list, and distribute operation capabilities
  evenly amongst the available channels
* simplify async_tx_find_channel to optimize the fast path
* introduce the channel_table_initialized flag to prevent early calls to
  the api
* reorganize the code to mimic crypto
* include mm.h as not all archs include it in dma-mapping.h
* make the Kconfig options non-user visible, Adrian Bunk
* move async_tx under crypto since it is meant as 'core' functionality, and
  the two may share algorithms in the future
* move large inline functions into c files
* checkpatch.pl fixes
* gpl v2 only correction
