e1000: add dynamic itr modes
Add a new dynamic itr algorithm, with 2 modes, and make it the default
operation mode. This greatly reduces latency and increases small packet
performance, at the "cost" of some CPU utilization. Bulk traffic
throughput is unaffected.
The driver can limit the amount of interrupts per second that the
adapter will generate for incoming packets. It does this by writing a
value to the adapter that is based on the maximum amount of interrupts
that the adapter will generate per second.
Setting InterruptThrottleRate to a value greater or equal to 100 will
program the adapter to send out a maximum of that many interrupts per
second, even if more packets have come in. This reduces interrupt
load on the system and can lower CPU utilization under heavy load,
but will increase latency as packets are not processed as quickly.
The default behaviour of the driver previously assumed a static
InterruptThrottleRate value of 8000, providing a good fallback value
for all traffic types,but lacking in small packet performance and
latency. The hardware can handle many more small packets per second
however, and for this reason an adaptive interrupt moderation algorithm
was implemented.
Since 7.3.x, the driver has two adaptive modes (setting 1 or 3) in
which it dynamically adjusts the InterruptThrottleRate value based on
the traffic that it receives. After determining the type of incoming
traffic in the last timeframe, it will adjust the InterruptThrottleRate
to an appropriate value for that traffic.
The algorithm classifies the incoming traffic every interval into
classes. Once the class is determined, the InterruptThrottleRate
value is adjusted to suit that traffic type the best. There are
three classes defined: "Bulk traffic", for large amounts of packets
of normal size; "Low latency", for small amounts of traffic and/or
a significant percentage of small packets; and "Lowest latency",
for almost completely small packets or minimal traffic.
In dynamic conservative mode, the InterruptThrottleRate value is
set to 4000 for traffic that falls in class "Bulk traffic". If
traffic falls in the "Low latency" or "Lowest latency" class, the
InterruptThrottleRate is increased stepwise to 20000. This default
mode is suitable for most applications.
For situations where low latency is vital such as cluster or
grid computing, the algorithm can reduce latency even more when
InterruptThrottleRate is set to mode 1. In this mode, which operates
the same as mode 3, the InterruptThrottleRate will be increased
stepwise to 70000 for traffic in class "Lowest latency".
Setting InterruptThrottleRate to 0 turns off any interrupt moderation
and may improve small packet latency, but is generally not suitable
for bulk throughput traffic.

[PATCH] 2.6.18: sb1250-mac: Phylib IRQ handling fixes
This patch fixes a couple of problems discovered with interrupt handling
in the phylib core, namely:
1. The driver uses timer and workqueue calls, but does not include
<linux/timer.h> nor <linux/workqueue.h>.
2. The driver uses schedule_work() for handling interrupts, but does not
make sure any pending work scheduled thus has been completed before
driver's structures get freed from memory. This is especially
important as interrupts may keep arriving if the line is shared with
another PHY.
The solution is to ignore phy_interrupt() calls if the reported device
has already been halted and calling flush_scheduled_work() from
phy_stop_interrupts() (but guarded with current_is_keventd() in case
the function has been called through keventd from the MAC device's
close call to avoid a deadlock on the netlink lock).

Driver core: platform_driver_probe(), can save codespace
This defines a new platform_driver_probe() method allowing the driver's
probe() method, and its support code+data, to safely live in __init
sections for typical system configurations.
Many system-on-chip processors could benefit from this API, to the tune
of recovering hundreds to thousands of bytes per driver. That's memory
which is currently wasted holding code which can never be called after
system startup, yet can not be removed. It can't be removed because of
the linkage requirement that pointers to init section code (like, ideally,
probe support) must not live in other sections (like driver method tables)
after those pointers would be invalid.

sysfs: sysfs_write_file() writes zero terminated data
since most of the files in sysfs are text files,
it would be nice, if the "store" function called
during sysfs_write_file() gets a zero terminated

The current implementation seems not to ensure this.
(But only if it is the first time the zeroed buffer
page is allocated.)
So the buffer can be scanned by sscanf() easily,
for example.
This patch simply sets a \0 char behind the

cpu topology: consider sysfs_create_group return value
Take return value of sysfs_create_group() into account. That function got
called in case of CPU_ONLINE notification. Since callbacks are not allowed
to fail on CPU_ONLINE notification do the sysfs group creation on
CPU_UP_PREPARE notification.
Also remember if creation succeeded in a bitmask. So it's possible to know
whether it's legal to call sysfs_remove_group or not.
In addition some other minor stuff:
- since CPU_UP_PREPARE might fail add CPU_UP_CANCELED handling as well.
- use hotcpu_notifier instead of register_hotcpu_notifier.
- #ifdef code that isn't needed in the !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU case.

Provide a way to support older versions of udev that are shipped in
older distros. If this option is disabled, it will also turn off the
compatible symlinks in sysfs that older programs might rely on.
When in doubt, or if running a distro older than 2006, say Yes here.

Driver core: fix "driver" symlink timing
Create the "driver" link before the child device may be created by
the probing logic. This makes it possible for userspace (udev), to
determine the driver property of the parent device, at the time the
child device is created.

Driver core: add notification of bus events
I finally did as you suggested and added the notifier to the struct
bus_type itself. There are still problems to be expected is something
attaches to a bus type where the code can hook in different struct
device sub-classes (which is imho a big bogosity but I won't even try to
argue that case now) but it will solve nicely a number of issues I've
had so far.
That also means that clients interested in registering for such
notifications have to do it before devices are added and after bus types
are registered. Fortunately, most bus types that matter for the various
usage scenarios I have in mind are registerd at postcore_initcall time,
which means I have a really nice spot at arch_initcall time to add my
notifiers.
There are 4 notifications provided. Device being added (before hooked to
the bus) and removed (failure of previous case or after being unhooked
from the bus), along with driver being bound to a device and about to be
unbound.
The usage I have for these are:
- The 2 first ones are used to maintain a struct device_ext that is
hooked to struct device.firmware_data. This structure contains for now a
pointer to the Open Firmware node related to the device (if any), the
NUMA node ID (for quick access to it) and the DMA operations pointers &
iommu table instance for DMA to/from this device. For bus types I own
(like IBM VIO or EBUS), I just maintain that structure directly from the
bus code when creating the devices. But for bus types managed by generic
code like PCI or platform (actually, of_platform which is a variation of
platform linked to Open Firmware device-tree), I need this notifier.
- The other two ones have a completely different usage scenario. I have
cases where multiple devices and their drivers depend on each other. For
example, the IBM EMAC network driver needs to attach to a MAL DMA engine
which is a separate device, and a PHY interface which is also a separate
device. They are all of_platform_device's (well, about to be with my
upcoming patches) but there is no say in what precise order the core
will "probe" them and instanciate the various modules. The solution I
found for that is to have the drivers for emac to use multithread_probe,
and wait for a driver to be bound to the target MAL and PHY control
devices (the device-tree contains reference to the MAL and PHY interface
nodes, which I can then match to of_platform_devices). Right now, I've
been polling, but with that notifier, I can more cleanly wait (with a
timeout of course).

PCI: Change memory allocation for acpiphp slots
Change memory allocation for acpiphp slots
Change the "struct slot" that acpiphp uses for managing it's slots to
directly contain the memory for the needed struct hotplug_slot_info and
the slot's name. This way we need only two memory allocations per slot
instead of four.
While we are at it: make_slot_name() is just a wrapper around snprintf()
knowing the right arguments to call it. Since the function makes just one
function call and is only called from one place I inlined it by hand.
Finally this fixes a possible bug waiting for someone to hit it. There were
two unused local variables in acpiphp_register_hotplug_slot(). gcc did not
find them because they were used in memory allocations with sizeof(*var).
They had the same types as the target of the allocation, but nevertheless
this was just weird.
