<title>mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d0164adc89f6bb374d304ffcc375c6d2652fe67d</id>

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts.  They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve".  __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".

Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available.  Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.

This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative.  High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH.  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim.  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim.  __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.

This patch then converts a number of sites

o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
  pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.

o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
  into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
  are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.

o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
  helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
  checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
  positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
  is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
  flag manipulations.

o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
  and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.

The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.

The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL.  They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

<id>urn:sha1:100ceb66d5c40cc0c7018e06a9474302470be73c</id>
<content type='text'>
Reported by Clifford and Craig for JMicron OHCI-1394 + SDHCI combo
controllers:  Often or even most of the time, the controller is
initialized with the message "added OHCI v1.10 device as card 0, 4 IR +
0 IT contexts, quirks 0x10".  With 0 isochronous transmit DMA contexts
(IT contexts), applications like audio output are impossible.

However, OHCI-1394 demands that at least 4 IT contexts are implemented
by the link layer controller, and indeed JMicron JMB38x do implement
four of them.  Only their IsoXmitIntMask register is unreliable at early
access.

With my own JMB381 single function controller I found:
  - I can reproduce the problem with a lower probability than Craig's.
  - If I put a loop around the section which clears and reads
    IsoXmitIntMask, then either the first or the second attempt will
    return the correct initial mask of 0x0000000f.  I never encountered
    a case of needing more than a second attempt.
  - Consequently, if I put a dummy reg_read(...IsoXmitIntMaskSet)
    before the first write, the subsequent read will return the correct
    result.
  - If I merely ignore a wrong read result and force the known real
    result, later isochronous transmit DMA usage works just fine.

So let's just fix this chip bug up by the latter method.  Tested with
JMB381 on kernel 3.13 and 4.3.

Since OHCI-1394 generally requires 4 IT contexts at a minium, this
workaround is simply applied whenever the initial read of IsoXmitIntMask
returns 0, regardless whether it's a JMicron chip or not.  I never heard
of this issue together with any other chip though.

I am not 100% sure that this fix works on the OHCI-1394 part of JMB380
and JMB388 combo controllers exactly the same as on the JMB381 single-
function controller, but so far I haven't had a chance to let an owner
of a combo chip run a patched kernel.

Strangely enough, IsoRecvIntMask is always reported correctly, even
though it is probed right before IsoXmitIntMask.

'0' is now used as the default cmd_per_lun value,
so there's no need to explicitly set it to '1' in the
host template.

The kernel was using the vendor ID 0xd00d1e, which was inherited from
the old ieee1394 driver stack.  However, this ID was not registered, and
invalid.

Instead, use the vendor/model IDs that are now officially assigned to
the kernel:
https://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/IEEE_OUI_Assignments

[stefanr:
  - The vendor ID 001f11 is Openmoko, Inc.'s identifier, registered at
    IEEE Registration Authority.
  - The range of model IDs 023900...0239ff are the Linux kernel 1394
    subsystem's identifiers, registered at Openmoko.
  - Model ID 023901 is picked by the subsystem developers as
    firewire-core's model ID.]

[Bart van Asche:]  SCSI core never sets cmd-&gt;sc_data_direction to
DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL; scsi_bidi_cmnd(cmd) should be used instead to
test for a bidirectional command.

[Christoph Hellwig:]  Bidirectional commands won't ever be queued
anyway, unless a LLD or transport driver sets QUEUE_FLAG_BIDI.

So, simply remove the respective queuecommand check in the SBP-2
transport driver.

firewire-core uses fw_card.lock to protect topology data and transaction
data.  firewire-sbp2 uses fw_card.lock for entirely unrelated purposes.

Introduce a sbp2_target.lock to firewire-sbp2 and replace all
fw_card.lock uses in the driver.  fw_card.lock is now entirely private
to firewire-core.  This has no immediate advantage apart from making it
clear in the code that firewire-sbp2 does not interact with the core
via the core lock.
