cxl: Rework error message for incompatible slots

2020-11-01T11:01:05+00:00

commit 40ac790d99c6dd16b367d5c2339e446a5f1b0593 upstream.

Improve the error message shown if a capi adapter is plugged on a
capi-incompatible slot directly under the PHB (no intermediate switch).

cxl: Fix kobject memleak

2020-08-19T06:16:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit 85c5cbeba8f4fb28e6b9bfb3e467718385f78f76 ]

Currently the error return path from kobject_init_and_add() is not
followed by a call to kobject_put() - which means we are leaking
the kobject.

Fix it by adding a call to kobject_put() in the error path of
kobject_init_and_add().

powerpc/64s/radix: introduce options to disable use of the tlbie instruction

2019-09-05T04:22:41+00:00

Introduce two options to control the use of the tlbie instruction. A
boot time option which completely disables the kernel using the
instruction, this is currently incompatible with HASH MMU, KVM, and
coherent accelerators.

And a debugfs option can be switched at runtime and avoids using tlbie
for invalidating CPU TLBs for normal process and kernel address
mappings. Coherent accelerators are still managed with tlbie, as will
KVM partition scope translations.

Cross-CPU TLB flushing is implemented with IPIs and tlbiel. This is a
basic implementation which does not attempt to make any optimisation
beyond the tlbie implementation.

This is useful for performance testing among other things. For example
in certain situations on large systems, using IPIs may be faster than
tlbie as they can be directed rather than broadcast. Later we may also
take advantage of the IPIs to do more interesting things such as trim
the mm cpumask more aggressively.

 "Here is the "big" driver core and debugfs changes for 5.3-rc1

  It's a lot of different patches, all across the tree due to some api
  changes and lots of debugfs cleanups.

  Other than the debugfs cleanups, in this set of changes we have:

   - bus iteration function cleanups

   - scripts/get_abi.pl tool to display and parse Documentation/ABI
     entries in a simple way

   - cleanups to Documenatation/ABI/ entries to make them parse easier
     due to typos and other minor things

   - default_attrs use for some ktype users

   - driver model documentation file conversions to .rst

   - compressed firmware file loading

   - deferred probe fixes

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while, with a bunch of
  merge issues that Stephen has been patient with me for"

cxl: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions

2019-06-18T11:40:25+00:00

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value.  The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.

Because there's no need to check, also make the return value of the
local debugfs_create_io_x64() call void, as no one ever did anything
with the return value (as they did not need to.)

And make the cxl_debugfs_* calls return void as no one was even checking
their return value at all.

vfs: Convert cxl to use the new mount API

2019-05-25T22:06:14+00:00

Convert the cxl filesystem to the new internal mount API as the old
one will be obsoleted and removed.  This allows greater flexibility in
communication of mount parameters between userspace, the VFS and the
filesystem.

See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt for more information.

mount_pseudo(): drop 'name' argument, switch to d_make_root()

2019-05-25T21:59:24+00:00

Once upon a time we used to set ->d_name of e.g. pipefs root
so that d_path() on pipes would work.  These days it's
completely pointless - dentries of pipes are not even connected
to pipefs root.  However, mount_pseudo() had set the root
dentry name (passed as the second argument) and callers
kept inventing names to pass to it.  Including those that
didn't *have* any non-root dentries to start with...

All of that had been pointless for about 8 years now; it's
time to get rid of that cargo-culting...
