0b649224f7 scsi: mac_esp: Convert to platform remove callback returning void
The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.

To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new(), which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove().

In the error path emit an error message replacing the (less useful)
message by the core. Apart from the improved error message there is no
change in behaviour.

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

4af14d113b scsi: remove the use_clustering flag
The same effects can be achieved by setting the dma_boundary to
PAGE_SIZE - 1 and the max_segment_size to PAGE_SIZE, so shift those
settings into the drivers.  Note that in many cases the setting might
be bogus, but this keeps the status quo.

53dce332db scsi: esp_scsi: De-duplicate PIO routines
As a temporary measure, the code to implement PIO transfers was
duplicated in zorro_esp and mac_esp. Now that it has stabilized move the
common code into the core driver but don't build it unless needed.

This replaces the inline assembler with more portable writesb() calls.
Optimizing the m68k writesb() implementation is a separate patch.

fd47d919d0 scsi: esp_scsi: Track residual for PIO transfers
If a target disconnects during a PIO data transfer the command may fail
when the target reconnects:

scsi host1: DMA length is zero!
scsi host1: cur adr[04380000] len[00000000]

The scsi bus is then reset. This happens because the residual reached
zero before the transfer was completed.

The usual residual calculation relies on the Transfer Count registers.
That works for DMA transfers but not for PIO transfers. Fix the problem
by storing the PIO transfer residual and using that to correctly
calculate bytes_sent.

7640d91d28 scsi: mac_esp: Fix PIO transfers for MESSAGE IN phase
When in MESSAGE IN phase, the ESP device does not automatically
acknowledge each byte that is transferred by PIO. The mac_esp driver
neglects to explicitly ack them, which causes a timeout during messages
larger than one byte (e.g. tag bytes during reconnect). Fix this with an
ESP_CMD_MOK command after each byte.

The MESSAGE IN phase is also different in that each byte transferred
raises ESP_INTR_FDONE. So don't exit the transfer loop for this interrupt,
for this phase.

That resolves the "Reconnect IRQ2 timeout" error on those Macs which use
PIO transfers instead of PDMA. This patch also improves on the weak tests
for unexpected interrupts and phase changes during PIO transfers.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

02507a80b3 [SCSI] mac_esp: fix PIO mode, take 2
The mac_esp PIO algorithm no longer works in 2.6.31 and crashes my Centris
660av. So here's a better one.

Also, force async with esp_set_offset() rather than esp_slave_configure().

One of the SCSI drives I tested still doesn't like the PIO mode and fails
with "esp: esp0: Reconnect IRQ2 timeout" (the same drive works fine in
PDMA mode).

This failure happens when esp_reconnect_with_tag() tries to read in two
tag bytes but the chip only provides one (0x20). I don't know what causes
this. I decided not to waste any more time trying to fix it because the
best solution is to rip out the PIO mode altogether and use the DMA
engine.

4df4db5c6c [TC] dec_esp: Driver model for the PMAZ-A
This is a set of changes that converts the PMAZ-A support to the driver model.

The use of the driver model required switching to the hotplug SCSI
initialization model, which in turn required a change to the core NCR53C9x
driver.  I decided not to break all the frontend drivers and introduced an
additional parameter for esp_allocate() to select between the old and the new
model.  I hope this is OK, but I would be fine with converting NCR53C9x to the
new model unconditionally as long as I do not have to fix all the other
frontends (OK, perhaps I could do some of them ;-) ).

space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
