This patch enables bio_copy_user to take struct sg_iovec (renamed
bio_copy_user_iov). bio_copy_user uses bio_copy_user_iov internally as
bio_map_user uses bio_map_user_iov.
The major changes are:
- adds sg_iovec array to struct bio_map_data
- adds __bio_copy_iov that copy data between bio and
sg_iovec. bio_copy_user_iov and bio_uncopy_user use it.

This patch allows to use loop device with partitionned disk image.
Original behavior of loop is not modified.
A new parameter is introduced to define how many partition we want to be
able to manage per loop device. This parameter is "max_part".
For instance, to manage 63 partitions / loop device, we will do:
# modprobe loop max_part=63
# ls -l /dev/loop?*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 0 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 64 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 128 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 192 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop3
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 256 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop4
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 320 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop5
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 384 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop6
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 448 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop7
And to attach a raw partitionned disk image, the original losetup is used:
# losetup -f etch.img
# ls -l /dev/loop?*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 0 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 1 2008-03-05 14:57 /dev/loop0p1

Of course, the same behavior can be done using kpartx on a loop device,

If cdrom commands are issued to a scsi drive in most cases the buffer will be

It seems that hrtimer_run_queues() is calling hrtimer_get_softirq_time() more
often than it needs to. This can cause frequent contention on systems with
large numbers of processors/cores.
With this patch, hrtimer_run_queues only calls hrtimer_get_softirq_time() if
there is a pending timer in one of the hrtimer bases, and only once.
This also combines hrtimer_run_queues() and the inline run_hrtimer_queue()
into one function.

The 'power' attribute of the fakephp driver originally only let one turn a
slot off. If one tried to turn a slot on (echo 1 > .../power), it would
return ENODEV, as fakephp did not support this function.
An old (pre-git) patch changed this:
2004/11/11 16:33:31-08:00 jdittmer
[PATCH] fakephp: add pci bus rescan ability
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/251183
Now writing "1" to the power attribute has the effect of triggering a bus
rescan, but it still returns ENODEV, probably an oversight in the above
patch.
Using the BusyBox echo will not produce an error message, but will
trigger *two* bus rescans (and return an exit code of 1):
~ # strace echo -n 1 > /sys/bus/pci/slots/0000:00:00.0/power
...
write(1, "1", 1) = -1 ENODEV (No such device)
write(1, "1", 1) = -1 ENODEV (No such device)
exit(1) = ?
Using cp gives a write error, even though the write did happen and a rescan
was triggered:
~ # echo -n 1 > tmp ; cp tmp /sys/bus/pci/slots/0000:00:00.0/power
cp: Write Error: No such device
It seems much better to return success instead of failure. The actual
status of the bus rescan is hard to return. It happens asynchronously in a
work thread, so the sysfs store functions returns before any status is
ready (the whole point of the work queue). And even if it didn't do this,
the rescan doesn't have any clear status to return.

This follows up 53a9bf4267. Some newer
CX700 BIOSes from our vendor have PCI Bus Parking disabled but PCI
Master read caching enabled. This creates problems such as system
freezing when both the network controller and the USB controller are
active and one of them is pretty busy (e.g. heavy network traffic).
This patch separates the checks and both the bus parking and the read
caching are disabled independently if either is enabled by the BIOS.

Vital Product Data (VPD) may be exposed by PCI devices in several
ways. It is generally unsafe to read this information through the
existing interfaces to user-land because of stateful interfaces.
This adds:
- abstract operations for VPD access (struct pci_vpd_ops)
- VPD state information in struct pci_dev (struct pci_vpd)
- an implementation of the VPD access method specified in PCI 2.2
(in access.c)
- a 'vpd' binary file in sysfs directories for PCI devices with VPD
operations defined
It adds a probe for PCI 2.2 VPD in pci_scan_device() and release of
VPD state in pci_release_dev().

This patch is for batching up the flushing of the IOTLB for the DMAR
implementation found in the Intel VT-d hardware. It works by building a list
of to be flushed IOTLB entries and a bitmap list of which DMAR engine they are
from.
After either a high water mark (250 accessible via debugfs) or 10ms the list
of iova's will be reclaimed and the DMAR engines associated are IOTLB-flushed.
This approach recovers 15 to 20% of the performance lost when using the IOMMU
for my netperf udp stream benchmark with small packets. It can be disabled
with a kernel boot parameter "intel_iommu=strict".
Its use does weaken the IOMMU protections a bit.

PCI Express ASPM defines a protocol for PCI Express components in the D0
state to reduce Link power by placing their Links into a low power state
and instructing the other end of the Link to do likewise. This
capability allows hardware-autonomous, dynamic Link power reduction
beyond what is achievable by software-only controlled power management.
However, The device should be configured by software appropriately.
Enabling ASPM will save power, but will introduce device latency.
This patch adds ASPM support in Linux. It introduces a global policy for
ASPM, a sysfs file /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy can control
it. The interface can be used as a boot option too. Currently we have
below setting:
-default, BIOS default setting
-powersave, highest power saving mode, enable all available ASPM
state and clock power management
-performance, highest performance, disable ASPM and clock power
management
By default, the 'default' policy is used currently.
In my test, power difference between powersave mode and performance mode
is about 1.3w in a system with 3 PCIE links.
Note: some devices might not work well with aspm, either because chipset
issue or device issue. The patch provide API (pci_disable_link_state),
driver can disable ASPM for specific device.

We currently keep 2 lists of PCI devices in the system, one in the
driver core, and one all on its own. This second list is sorted at boot
time, in "BIOS" order, to try to remain compatible with older kernels
(2.2 and earlier days). There was also a "nosort" option to turn this
sorting off, to remain compatible with even older kernel versions, but
that just ends up being what we have been doing from 2.5 days...
Unfortunately, the second list of devices is not really ever used to
determine the probing order of PCI devices or drivers[1]. That is done
using the driver core list instead. This change happened back in the
early 2.5 days.
Relying on BIOS ording for the binding of drivers to specific device
names is problematic for many reasons, and userspace tools like udev
exist to properly name devices in a persistant manner if that is needed,
no reliance on the BIOS is needed.
Matt Domsch and others at Dell noticed this back in 2006, and added a
boot option to sort the PCI device lists (both of them) in a
breadth-first manner to help remain compatible with the 2.4 order, if
needed for any reason. This option is not going away, as some systems
rely on them.
This patch removes the sorting of the internal PCI device list in "BIOS"
mode, as it's not needed at all anymore, and hasn't for many years.
I've also removed the PCI flags for this from some other arches that for
some reason defined them, but never used them.
This should not change the ordering of any drivers or device probing.
[1] The old-style pci_get_device and pci_find_device() still used this
sorting order, but there are very few drivers that use these functions,
as they are deprecated for use in this manner. If for some reason, a

This was marked incorrectly for some reason. Allow the ibmphp driver to
be built even if PCI_LEGACY is not enabled.

This removes the depandancy of the cpcihp driver from the PCI_LEGACY
config option by removing its usage of the pci_find_bus() function.

This cleans up the search.c file, now using the pci list of devices that
are created for the driver core, instead of relying on our separate list
of devices. It's better to use the functions already created for this
kind of thing, instead of rolling our own all the time.
This work is done in anticipation of getting rid of that second list of
pci devices all together.
And it ends up saving code, always a nice benefit.
This also removes one compiler warning for when CONFIG_PCI_LEGACY is
enabled as we no longer internally use the deprecated functions anymore.

This removes the pci_get_device_reverse function as there should not be
any need to walk pci devices backwards anymore. All users of this call
are now gone from the tree, so it is safe to remove it.
