2011-06-21dcb: fix return type on dcb_setapp()John Fastabend
Incorrect return type on dcb_setapp() this routine returns negative error codes. All call sites of dcb_setapp() assign the return value to an int already so no need to update drivers. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-06-21dcb: Add dcb_ieee_getapp_mask() for drivers to query APP settingsJohn Fastabend
With multiple APP entries per selector and protocol drivers or stacks may want to pick a specific value or stripe traffic across many priorities. Also if an APP entry in use is deleted the stack/driver may want to choose from the existing APP entries. To facilitate this and avoid having duplicate code to walk the APP ring provide a routine dcb_ieee_getapp_mask() to return a u8 bitmask of all priorities set for the specified selector and protocol. This routine and bitmask is a helper for DCB kernel users. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-06-21dcb: Add ieee_dcb_delapp() and dcb op to delete app entryJohn Fastabend
Now that we allow multiple IEEE App entries we need a way to remove specific entries. To do this add the ieee_dcb_delapp() routine. Additionaly drivers may need to remove the APP entry from their firmware tables. Add dcb ops routine to handle this. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-06-21dcb: Add ieee_dcb_setapp() to be used for IEEE 802.1Qaz APP dataJohn Fastabend
This adds a setapp routine for IEEE802.1Qaz encoded APP data types. The IEEE 802.1Qaz spec encodes the priority bits differently and allows for multiple APP data entries of the same selector and protocol. Trying to force these to use the same set routines was becoming tedious. Furthermore, userspace could probably enforce the correct semantics, but expecting drivers to do this seems error prone in the firmware case. For these reasons add ieee_dcb_setapp() that understands the IEEE 802.1Qaz encoded form. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-06-21net: dcbnl, add multicast group for DCBJohn Fastabend
Now that dcbnl is being used in many cases by more than a single agent it is beneficial to be notified when some entity either driver or user space has changed the DCB attributes. Today applications either end up polling the interface or relying on a user space database to maintain the DCB state and post events. Polling is a poor solution for obvious reasons. And relying on a user space database has its own downside. Namely it has created strange boot dependencies requiring the database be populated before any applications dependent on DCB attributes starts or the application goes into a polling loop. Populating the database requires negotiating link setting with the peer and can take anywhere from less than a second up to a few seconds depending on the switch implementation. Perhaps more importantly if another application or an embedded agent sets a DCB link attribute the database has no way of knowing other than polling the kernel. This prevents applications from responding quickly to changes in link events which at least in the FCoE case and probably any other protocols expecting a lossless link may result in IO errors. By adding a multicast group for DCB we have clean way to disseminate kernel DCB link attributes up to user space. Avoiding the need for user space to maintain a coherant database and disperse events that potentially do not reflect the current link state.

2011-06-09rtnetlink: Compute and store minimum ifinfo dump sizeGreg Rose
The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to a single page. This is not enough for additional interface info available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately 40 VFs were created per interface. Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate enough data to satisfy the request.

2010-12-31dcbnl: add support for ieee8021Qaz attributesJohn Fastabend
The IEEE8021Qaz is the IEEE standard version of CEE. The standard has had enough significant changes from the CEE version that many of the CEE attributes have no meaning in the new spec or do not easily map to IEEE standards.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h 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.
