2008-05-05dev_name introduction fall out fixStephen Rothwell
Commit 06916639e2fed9ee475efef2747a1b7429f8fe76 ("driver-core: add dev_name() to help transition away from using bus_id") added a static inline dev_name() and used it in dev_printk. Unfortunately, drivers/edac/edac_core.h defines a macro called dev_name(). Rename the latter. Diagnosis by Tony Breeds and Michael Ellerman.

2007-07-26drivers/edac: fix reset edac_mc pollmsecDoug Thompson
This fixes a deadlock that could occur on a 'setup' and 'teardown' sequence of the workq for a edac_mc control structure instance. A similiar fix was previously implemented for the edac_device code. In addition, the edac_mc device code there was missing code to allow the workq period valu to be altered via sysfs control. This patch adds that fix on the code, and allows for the changing of the period value as well.

2007-07-19drivers/edac: fix edac_mc sysfs completion codeDoug Thompson
This patch refactors the 'releasing' of kobjects for the edac_mc type of device. The correct pattern of kobject release is followed. As internal kobjs are allocated they bump a ref count on the top level kobj. It in turn has a module ref count on the edac_core module. When internal kobjects are released, they dec the ref count on the top level kobj. When the top level kobj reaches zero, it decrements the ref count on the edac_core object, allow it to be unloaded, as all resources have all now been released.

Refactoring of sysfs code necessitated the refactoring of the edac_mc_alloc() and edac_mc_add_mc() apis, of moving the index value to the alloc() function. This patch alters the in tree drivers to utilize this new api signature. Having the index value performed later created a chicken-and-the-egg issue.

2007-07-19drivers/edac: add edac_device classDouglas Thompson
This patch adds the new 'class' of object to be managed, named: 'edac_device'. As a peer of the 'edac_mc' class of object, it provides a non-memory centric view of an ERROR DETECTING device in hardware. It provides a sysfs interface and an abstraction for varioius EDAC type devices. Multiple 'instances' within the class are possible, with each 'instance' able to have multiple 'blocks', and each 'block' having 'attributes'. At the 'block' level there are the 'ce_count' and 'ue_count' fields which the device driver can update and/or call edac_device_handle_XX() functions. At each higher level are additional 'total' count fields, which are a summation of counts below that level. This 'edac_device' has been used to capture and present ECC errors which are found in a a L1 and L2 system on a per CORE/CPU basis.

2007-07-19drivers/edac: split out functions to unique filesDouglas Thompson
This is a large patch to refactor the original EDAC module in the kernel and to break it up into better file granularity, such that each source file contains a given subsystem of the EDAC CORE. Originally, the EDAC 'core' was contained in one source file: edac_mc.c with it corresponding edac_mc.h file. Now, there are the following files: edac_module.c The main module init/exit function and other overhead edac_mc.c Code handling the edac_mc class of object edac_mc_sysfs.c Code handling for sysfs presentation edac_pci_sysfs.c Code handling for PCI sysfs presentation edac_core.h CORE .h include file for 'edac_mc' and 'edac_device' drivers edac_module.h Internal CORE .h include file This forms a foundation upon which a later patch can create the 'edac_device' class of object code in a new file 'edac_device.c'.

2007-07-17Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2007-02-12[PATCH] EDAC: Add memory scrubbing controls API to coreFrithiof Jensen
This is an attempt of providing an interface for memory scrubbing control in EDAC. This patch modifies the EDAC Core to provide the Interface for memory controller modules to implment. The following things are still outstanding: - K8 is the first implemenation, The patch provide a method of configuring the K8 hardware memory scrubber via the 'mcX' sysfs directory. There should be some fallback to a generic scrubber implemented in software if the hardware does not support scrubbing. Or .. the scrubbing sysfs entry should not be visible at all. - Only works with SDRAM, not cache, The K8 can scrub cache and l2cache also - but I think this is not so useful as the cache is busy all the time (one hopes). One would also expect that cache scrubbing requires hardware support. - Error Handling, I would like that errors are returned to the user in "terms of file system". - Presentation, I chose Bandwidth in Bytes/Second as a representation of the scrubbing rate for the following reasons: I like that the sysfs entries are sort-of textual, related to something that makes sense instead of magical values that must be looked up. "My People" wants "% main memory scrubbed per hour" others prefer "% memory bandwidth used" as representation, "bandwith used" makes it easy to calculate both versions in one-liner scripts. If one later wants to scrub cache, the scaling becomes wierd for K8 changing from "blocks of 64 byte memory" to "blocks of 64 cache lines" to "blocks of 64 bit". Using "bandwidth used" makes sense in all three cases, (I.M.O. anyway ;-). - Discovery, There is no way to discover the possible settings and what they do without reading the code and the documentation. *I* do not know how to make that work in a practical way. - Bugs(??), other tools can set invalid values in the memory scrub control register, those will read back as '-1', requiring the user to reset the scrub rate. This is how *I* think it should be. - Afflicting other areas of code, I made changes to edac_mc.c and edac_mc.h which will show up globally - this is not nice, it would be better that the memory scrubbing fuctionality and interface could be entirely contained within the memory controller it applies to.

2006-07-10[PATCH] Fix and enable EDAC sysfs operationDoug Thompson
When EDAC was first introduced into the kernel it had a sysfs interface, but due to some problems it was disabled in 2.6.16 and remained disabled in 2.6.17. With feedback, several of the control and attribute files of that interface had some good constructive feedback. PCI Blacklist/Whitelist was a major set which has design issues and it has been removed in this patch. Instead of storing PCI broken parity status in EDAC, it has been moved to the pci_dev structure itself by a previous PCI patch. A future patch will enable that feature in EDAC by utilizing the pci_dev info. The sysfs is now enabled in this patch, with a minimal set of control and attribute files for examining EDAC state and for enabling/disabling the memory and PCI operations. The Documentation for EDAC has also been updated to reflect the new state of EDAC operation.

Remove add_mc_to_global_list(). In next patch, this function will be reimplemented with different semantics. 1 Reimplement add_mc_to_global_list() with semantics that allow the caller to determine the ID number for a mem_ctl_info structure. Then modify edac_mc_add_mc() so that the caller specifies the ID number for the new mem_ctl_info structure. Platform-specific code should be able to assign the ID numbers in a platform-specific manner.

2006-03-26[PATCH] EDAC: kobject/sysfs fixesDave Peterson
- After we unregister a kobject, wait for our kobject release method to call complete(). This causes us to wait until the kobject reference count reaches 0. Otherwise, a task accessing the EDAC sysfs interface can hold the reference count above 0 until after the EDAC module has been unloaded. When the reference count finally drops to 0, this will result in an attempt to call our release method inside the EDAC module after the module has already been unloaded. This isn't the best fix, since a process can get stuck sleeping forever uninterruptibly if the user does the following: rmmod my_module < /sys/my_sysfs/file I'll go back and implement a better fix later. However this should be ok for now. - Call edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device() from edac_mc_del_mc() rather than from edac_mc_free(). Since edac_mc_add_mc() calls edac_create_sysfs_mci_device(), edac_mc_del_mc() should call edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device(). Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-03-26[PATCH] EDAC: cleanup code for clearing initial errorsDave Peterson
Fix xxx_probe1() functions so they call xxx_get_error_info() functions to clear initial errors. This is simpler and cleaner than duplicating the low-level code for accessing PCI config space.

2006-03-14[PATCH] EDAC: disable sysfs interfaceDave Peterson
- Disable the EDAC sysfs code. The sysfs interface that EDAC presents to user space needs more thought, and is likely to change substantially. Therefore disable it for now so users don't start depending on it in its current form. - Disable the default behavior of calling panic() when an uncorrectible error is detected (since for now, there is no sysfs interface that allows the user to configure this behavior).

2006-03-11[PATCH] edac: disable a few sysfs files to avoid them becoming an ABIArjan van de Ven
Disable (via ugly #if 0's) the 3 sysfs files that I think by now we all agree are very much wrong. These files shouldn't become part of the ABI by the 2.6.16 release, so I rather have this minimal patch merged to disable them for now, the real fix can then come during the 2.6.17 devel window.

2006-01-18[PATCH] EDAC: core EDAC support codeAlan Cox
This is a subset of the bluesmoke project core code, stripped of the NMI work which isn't ready to merge and some of the "interesting" proc functionality that needs reworking or just has no place in kernel. It requires no core kernel changes except the added scrub functions already posted. The goal is to merge further functionality only after the core code is accepted and proven in the base kernel, and only at the point the upstream extras are really ready to merge. From: doug thompson <norsk5@xmission.com> This converts EDAC to sysfs and is the final chunk neccessary before EDAC has a stable user space API and can be considered for submission into the base kernel.
