946fef4e14 [CRYPTO] hifn795x: Disallow built-in hifn795x when HW_RANDOM is m
Currently it is possible to select HW_RANDOM as a module and have
hifn795x built-in.  This causes a build problem because hifn795x
will then call hwrng_register which isn't built-in.

This patch introduces a new config option to control the hifn795x
RNG which lets us avoid this problem.

Add ->readpages support to Ocfs2. This is rather trivial - all it required
is a small update to ocfs2_get_block (for mapping full extents via b_size)

c934a92d05 ocfs2: Remove data locks
The meta lock now covers both meta data and data, so this just removes the
now-redundant data lock.

Combining locks saves us a round of lock mastery per inode and one less lock
to ping between nodes during read/write.

We don't lose much - since meta locks were always held before a data lock
(and at the same level) ordered writeout mode (the default) ensured that
flushing for the meta data lock also pushed out data anyways.

48fe5e594c IPoIB: Remove redundant check of netif_queue_stopped() in xmit handler
qdisc_run() now tests for queue_stopped() before calling
__qdisc_run(), and the same check is done in every iteration of
__qdisc_run(), so another check is not required in the driver xmit.
This means that ipoib_start_xmit() no longer needs to test
netif_queue_stopped(); the test was added to fix earlier kernels,
where the networking stack did not guarantee that the xmit method of
an LLTX driver would not be called after the queue was stopped, but
current kernels do provide this guarantee.

To validate, I put a debug in the TX_BUSY path which never hit with 64
threads running overnight exercising this code a few 100 million
times.

bbdd267ef2 IB/ehca: Add "port connection autodetect mode"
This patch enhances ehca with a capability to "autodetect" the ports
being connected physically. In order to utilize that function the
module option nr_ports must be set to -1 (default is 2 - two
ports). This feature is experimental and will made the default later.

More detail:

If the user connects only one port to the switch, current code requires
  1) port one to be connected and
  2) module option nr_ports=1 to be given.

If autodetect is enabled, ehca will not wait at creation of the GSI QP
for the respective port to become active. Since firmware does not
accept modify_qp() while the port is down at initialization, we need
to cache all calls to modify_qp() for the SMI/GSI QP and just return a
good return code.

When a port is activated and we get a PORT_ACTIVE event, we replay the
cached modify-qp() parms and re-trigger any posted recv WRs. Only then
do we forward the PORT_ACTIVE event to registered clients.

The result of this autodetect patch is that all ports will be
accessible by the users. Depending on their respective cabling only
those ports that are connected properly will become operable. If a
user tries to modify a regular QP of a non-connected port, modify_qp()
will fail. Furthermore, ibv_devinfo should show the port state
accordingly.

Note that this patch primarily improves the loading behaviour of
ehca. If the cable is removed while the driver is operating and
plugged in again, firmware will handle that properly by sending an
appropriate async event.

a3cd7d9070 IB/fmr_pool: ib_fmr_pool_flush() should flush all dirty FMRs
When a FMR is released via ib_fmr_pool_unmap(), the FMR usually ends
up on the free_list rather than the dirty_list (because we allow a
certain number of remappings before actually requiring a flush).

However, ib_fmr_batch_release() only looks at dirty_list when flushing
out old mappings.  This means that when ib_fmr_pool_flush() is used to
force a flush of the FMR pool, some dirty FMRs that have not reached
their maximum remap count will not actually be flushed.

Fix this by flushing all FMRs that have been used at least once in
ib_fmr_batch_release().

a656eb758f IB/fmr_pool: Flush serial numbers can get out of sync
Normally, the serial numbers for flush requests and flushes executed
for an FMR pool should be in sync.

However, if the FMR pool flushes dirty FMRs because the
dirty_watermark was reached, we wake up the cleanup thread and let it
do its stuff.  As a side effect, the cleanup thread increments
pool->flush_ser, which leaves it one higher than pool->req_ser.  The
next time the user calls ib_flush_fmr_pool(), the cleanup thread will
be woken up, but ib_flush_fmr_pool() won't wait for the flush to
complete because flush_ser is already past req_ser.  This means the
FMRs that the user expects to be flushed may not have all been flushed
when the function returns.

Fix this by telling the cleanup thread to do work exclusively by
incrementing req_ser, and by moving the comparison of dirty_len and
dirty_watermark into ib_fmr_pool_unmap().

2fe7e6f7c9 IB/umad: Simplify and fix locking
In addition to being overly complex, the locking in user_mad.c is
broken: there were multiple reports of deadlocks and lockdep warnings.
In particular it seems that a single thread may end up trying to take
the same rwsem for reading more than once, which is explicitly
forbidden in the comments in <linux/rwsem.h>.

To solve this, we change the locking to use plain mutexes instead of
rwsems.  There is one mutex per open file, which protects the contents
of the struct ib_umad_file, including the array of agents and list of
queued packets; and there is one mutex per struct ib_umad_port, which
protects the contents, including the list of open files.  We never
hold the file mutex across calls to functions like ib_unregister_mad_agent(),
which can call back into other ib_umad code to queue a packet, and we
always hold the port mutex as long as we need to make sure that a
device is not hot-unplugged from under us.

This even makes things nicer for users of the -rt patch, since we
remove calls to downgrade_write() (which is not implemented in -rt).

586a693448 IPoIB/CM: Enable SRQ support on HCAs that support fewer than 16 SG entries
Some HCAs (such as ehca2) support SRQ, but only support fewer than 16 SG
entries for SRQs.  Currently IPoIB/CM implicitly assumes all HCAs will
support 16 SG entries for SRQs (to handle a 64K MTU with 4K pages). This
patch removes that restriction by limiting the maximum MTU in connected
mode to what the maximum number of SRQ SG entries allows.

This patch addresses <https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728>

fff09a8e6e IB/srp: Enable SG list chaining
By default, the SCSI mid-layer seems to send down 512KB requests
(sg_tablesize = 256), with some requests occasionally combined. By
allowing the mid-layer to chain requests, we can easily grow to 1024KB
or larger -- I've tested 4096KB I/O requests with no problems.

I looked through the DMA paths on the hardware drivers to ensure they
could take advantage of the SG chaining, and it seems that every one
except ipath uses the system's DMA routines, which have been converted
to handle chaining.  ipath looks like it should be OK, but I have no
way to test it.
