This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation.
The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to
many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it.
FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles
the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory
resources.
I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use:
- The API is to simple, important functions are missing
- A fifo can be only allocated dynamically
- There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not
- There is no support for data records inside a fifo
So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up
the API to much. The new API has the following benefits:
- Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver.
- Provide an API for the most use case.
- Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions.
- Linux style habit.
- DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros
- Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo.
- The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an
indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator.
- Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo,
which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary.
- Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if
one is required.
- Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported:
- Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size
field of 1 bytes.
- Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size
field of 2 bytes.
- Fixed size records, which no record size field.
- Preserve memory resource.
- Performance!
- Easy to use!
This patch:
Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object,
reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data
structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init
prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This
patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

If we are sending or receiving data for the task successfully do
not run the scsi eh, because we know the task is making progress.

If a task did not complete normally due to a TMF, libiscsi will
now complete the task with the state ISCSI_TASK_ABRT_TMF. Drivers
like bnx2i that need to free resources if a command did not complete normally
can then check the task state. If a driver does not need to send
a special command if we have dropped the session then they can check
for ISCSI_TASK_ABRT_SESS_RECOV.

Everytime we read in a pdu libiscsi will update a tracking field.
It uses this to decide when to check if the transport might be bad.
If we have not got data in recv_timeout seconds then we will
send a iscsi ping/nop.
If we are on a slow link then it could take a while to read in all
the data for a data_in. In that case we might send a ping/nop when
we do not need to or we might drop a session thinking it is bad
when the lower layer is making forward progress on it.
This patch has libiscsi_tcp update the recv tracking for each skb
(basically network packet from our point of view) instead of the
entire iscsi pdu+data, so we account for these cases where data is
coming in slowly.

This has iscsi_data_in_rsp call iscsi_update_cmdsn when a pdu is
completed like is done for other pdu's that are don.
For libiscsi_tcp, this means that it calls iscsi_update_cmdsn when
it is handling the pdu internally to only transfer data, but if there is
status then it does not need to call it since the completion handling
will do it.

If a command's scsi cmd pdu setup fails then we can just fail
the IO to the scsi layer. If a DATA_OUT for a R2T fails then
we will want to drop the session, because it means we got a
bad request from the target (iscsi protocol error).
This patch has us propogate the error upwards so libiscsi_tcp
or libiscsi can decide what the best action is to take. It
also fixes a bug where we could try to grab the session lock
while holding it, because if iscsi_tcp drops the session in the
pdu setup callout the session lock is held when setting up the
scsi cmd pdu.

virt_to_page() call should not be used on kernel text and data

cxgb3i does not offload the processing of the header,
but it will always process the padding. This patch
adds a padding offload flag to detect when the LLD
supports this.
The patch also modifies the header processing so that
we do not try to read/bypass the header dugest in the
skb. cxgb3i will not include it with the header like
with other offload cards.

As explained in the previous mails, cxgb3i needs iscsi_tcp's
r2t/data_out and data_in procesing so this just moves functions
that both drivers want to use to a new module libiscsi_tcp. The
next patch will hook iscsi_tcp in.
