Because udev use is so widespread, making the old static mapping the
default is too conservative, given the severe limitations it places on
usable AoE addresses. Storage virtualization and larger shelves have made
the old limitations too confining.
These changes make the dynamic block device minor numbers the default,
removing the limitations on usable AoE addresses.
The static arrangement is still available with aoe_dyndevs=0, and the
aoe-stat tool from the userland aoetools package, the user space
counterpart to the aoe driver, recognizes the case where there is a
mismatch between the minor number in sysfs and the minor number in a
special device file.

The ATA over Ethernet protocol uses a major (shelf) and minor (slot)
address to identify a particular storage target. These changes remove an
artificial limitation the aoe driver imposes on the use of AoE addresses.
For example, without these changes, the slot address has a maximum of 15,
but users commonly use slot numbers much greater than that.
The AoE shelf and slot address space is often used sparsely. Instead of
using a static mapping between AoE addresses and the block device minor
number, the block device minor numbers are now allocated on demand.

In the driver code, "target" and aoetgt refer to a particular remote
interface on the AoE storage target. The latter is identified by its AoE
major and minor addresses. Commands that are being sent to an AoE storage
target {major, minor} can be sent or retransmitted to any of the remote
MAC addresses associated with the AoE storage target.
That is, frames are naturally associated with not an aoetgt (AoE major,
AoE minor, remote MAC address) but an aoedev (AoE major, AoE minor).
Making the code reflect that reality simplifies the driver, especially
when the path to a remote MAC address becomes unusable.

this guard prevents unexpected targets from being used by the driver when

The discovery process begins with an optional AoE config query command and
an AoE config query response. Normally when an aoe device is already
open, the config query response does not trigger an ATA identify device
command to be sent out, since the response contains storage capacity
information that, if changed, could surprise the user of the device.
The userland "aoe-revalidate" tool uses a character device to trigger an
AoE config query for a particular AoE storage target and an ATA device
identify command, even when the device is open.
This change causes the config query to go out first, reflecting the normal
discovery sequence. The responses could come back in any order, so this
change is fairly cosmetic.

The aoe_deadsecs module parameter allows the user to specify a hard limit
on the number of seconds an AoE command can be retransmitted before the
AoE block device is considered to have failed.
Using aoe_deadsecs to determine the time we try using a different remote
interface helps to ensure that the hard limit is not reached before we've
tried to recover by sending to a different remote port.
As a data storage target, the AoE target is unambiguously identified by
its {major, minor} AoE address tuple, and an AoE target can have multiple
MAC addresses. However, note that "target" in the driver code and
comments means a {major, minor, MAC address} tuple, as in "somewhere to
send packets".

configure them to support different-sized AoE data payloads on purpose.
For a given AoE target, there will be a set of local network interfaces

driver, especially in failure scenarios.

To allow users to choose an elevator algorithm for their particular

I/O-request-queue-handler-style driver.
We have to do a couple of things that might be surprising. We manipulate
the page _count directly on the assumption that we still have no guarantee
that users of the block layer are prohibited from submitting bios
containing pages with zero reference counts.[1] If such a prohibition now
exists, I can get rid of the _count manipulation.
Just as before this patch, we still keep track of the sk_buffs that the
network layer still hasn't finished yet and cap the resources we use with
a "pool" of skbs.[2]
Now that the block layer maintains the disk stats, the aoe driver's
diskstats function can go away.

Make the frames the aoe driver uses to track the relationship between bios
and packets more flexible and detached, so that they can be passed to an
"aoe_ktio" thread for completion of I/O.
The frames are handled much like skbs, with a capped amount of
preallocation so that real-world use cases are likely to run smoothly and
degenerate gracefully even under memory pressure.
Decoupling I/O completion from the receive path and serializing it in a
process makes it easier to think about the correctness of the locking in
the driver, especially in the case of a remote MAC address becoming
unusable.

tAdd adds the ability to work with large packets composed of a number of

The following set of patches provides modifications targeting support of
multiple RapidIO master port (mport) devices on a CPU-side of
RapidIO-capable board. While the RapidIO subsystem code has definitions
suitable for multi-controller/multi-net support, the existing
implementation cannot be considered ready for multiple mport
configurations.
=========== NOTES: =============
a) The patches below do not address RapidIO side view of multiport
processing elements defined in Part 6 of RapidIO spec Rev.2.1 (section
6.4.1). These devices have Base Device ID CSR (0x60) and Component Tag
CSR (0x6C) shared by all SRIO ports. For example, Freescale's P4080,
P3041 and P5020 have a dual-port SRIO controller implemented according
the specification. Enumeration/discovery of such devices from RapidIO
side may require device-specific fixups.
b) Devices referenced above may also require implementation specific
code to setup a host device ID for mport device. These operations are
not addressed by patches in this package.
=================================
Details about provided patches:
1. Fix blocking wait for discovery ready
While it does not happen on PowerPC based platforms, there is
possibility of stalled CPU warning dump on x86 based platforms that run
RapidIO discovery process if they wait too long for being enumerated.
Currently users can avoid it by disabling the soft-lockup detector
using "nosoftlockup" kernel parameter OR by ensuring that enumeration
is completed before soft-lockup is detected.
This patch eliminates blocking wait and keeps a scheduler running.
It also is required for patch 3 below which introduces asynchronous
discovery process.
2. Use device lists handling on per-net basis
This patch allows to correctly support multiple RapidIO nets and
resolves possible issues caused by using single global list of devices
during RapidIO system enumeration/discovery. The most common sign of
existing issue is incorrect contents of switch routing tables in
systems with multiple mport controllers while single-port configuration
performs as expected.
The patch does not eliminate the global RapidIO device list but
changes some routines in enumeration/discovery to use per-net device
lists instead. This way compatibility with upper layer RIO routines is
preserved.
3. Run discovery as an asynchronous process
This patch modifies RapidIO initialization routine to asynchronously
run the discovery process for each corresponding mport. This allows
having an arbitrary order of enumerating and discovering mports without
creating a deadlock situation if an enumerator port was registered
after a discovering one.
On boards with multiple discovering mports it also eliminates order
dependency between mports and may reduce total time of RapidIO
subsystem initialization.
Making netID matching to mportID ensures consistent netID assignment
in multiport RapidIO systems with asynchronous discovery process
(global counter implementation is affected by race between threads).
4. Rework RIONET to support multiple RIO master ports
In the current version of the driver rionet_probe() has comment "XXX
Make multi-net safe". Now it is a good time to address this comment.
This patch makes RIONET driver multi-net safe/capable by introducing
per-net lists of RapidIO network peers. It also enables to register
network adapters for all available mport devices.
5. Add destination ID allocation mechanism
The patch replaces a single global destination ID counter with
per-net allocation mechanism to allow independent destID management for
each available RapidIO network. Using bitmap based mechanism instead
of counters allows destination ID release and reuse in systems that
support hot-swap.
This patch:
Fix blocking wait loop in the RapidIO discovery routine to avoid warning
dumps about stalled CPU on x86 platforms.

Apply port RX/TX enable operations only to active switch ports.
RapidIO specification (Part 6: LP-Serial Physical Layer) recommends to
keep Output Port Enable (TX) and Input Port Enable (RX) control bits in
disabled state (0b0) after device reset. It also allows to have
implementation specific reset state for these bits.
This patch ensures that TX/RX enable action is applied only to active
switch's ports while preserving an initial state of inactive ones.
This patch is intended to keep inactive switch ports with inbound and
outbound packet transfers disabled to block unexpected packets during hot
insertion event. While it does not fix any visible malfunction it is
intended to prevent such events in future.

With this patch we pass "siginfo_t *siginfo" instead of "int signr" to
do_coredump() and put it into coredump_params. It will be used by the
next patch. Most changes are simple s/signr/siginfo->si_signo/.

Cosmetic. Change setup_new_exec() and task_dumpable() to use
SUID_DUMPABLE_ENABLED for /bin/grep.

Some coredump handlers want to create a core file in a way compatible with
standard behavior. Standard behavior with fs.suid_dumpable = 2 is to
create core file with uid=gid=0. However, there was no way for coredump
handler to know that the process being dumped was suid'ed.
This patch adds the new %d specifier for format_corename() which simply
reports __get_dumpable(mm->flags), this is compatible with
/proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable we already have.

Create a new header file, fs/coredump.h, which contains functions only
used by the new coredump.c. It also moves do_coredump to the
include/linux/coredump.h header file, for consistency.

Adds an expert Kconfig option, CONFIG_COREDUMP, which allows disabling of
core dump. This saves approximately 2.6k in the compiled kernel, and
complements CONFIG_ELF_CORE, which now depends on it.
CONFIG_COREDUMP also disables coredump-related sysctls, except for
suid_dumpable and related functions, which are necessary for ptrace.

The original model of device_cgroup is having a whitelist where all the
allowed devices are listed. The problem with this approach is that is
impossible to have the case of allowing everything but few devices.
The reason for that lies in the way the whitelist is handled internally:
since there's only a whitelist, the "all devices" entry would have to be
removed and replaced by the entire list of possible devices but the ones
that are being denied. Since dev_t is 32 bits long, representing the allowed
devices as a bitfield is not memory efficient.
This patch replaces the "whitelist" by a "exceptions" list and the default
policy is kept as "deny_all" variable in dev_cgroup structure.
The current interface determines that whenever "a" is written to devices.allow
or devices.deny, the entry masking all devices will be added or removed,
respectively. This behavior is kept and it's what will determine the default
policy:
# cat devices.list
a *:* rwm
# echo a >devices.deny
# cat devices.list
# echo a >devices.allow
# cat devices.list
a *:* rwm
The interface is also preserved. For example, if one wants to block only access
to /dev/null:
# ls -l /dev/null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Jul 24 16:17 /dev/null
# echo a >devices.allow
# echo "c 1:3 rwm" >devices.deny
# cat /dev/null
cat: /dev/null: Operation not permitted
# echo >/dev/null
bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted
mknod /tmp/null c 1 3
mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted
# echo "c 1:3 r" >devices.allow
# cat /dev/null
# echo >/dev/null
bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted
mknod /tmp/null c 1 3
mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted
# echo "c 1:3 rw" >devices.allow
# echo >/dev/null
# cat /dev/null
# mknod /tmp/null c 1 3
mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted
# echo "c 1:3 rwm" >devices.allow
# echo >/dev/null
# cat /dev/null
# mknod /tmp/null c 1 3
#
Note that I didn't rename the functions/variables in this patch, but in the
next one to make reviewing easier.
