During VF load, prior to sending messages on HW channel to PF the VF
checks its bulletin board to see whether the PF indicated it has closed;
If a closed PF is encountered, the VF skips sending the message.
Due to incorrect return values, there's a possible scenario in which the VF
finishes loading "successfully", while the PF hasn't actually fully configured
FW/HW for the VFs supposed configuration.
Once VF tries to send Tx packets, HW will raise an attention (and FW possibly
will start treat the VF as malicious).
The patch fails the loading process in such a scenario.

If chip enters a recovery flow just after the driver issues a DMAE request
the DMAE will timeout. Current code will cause a bnx2x_panic() as a result,
which means interface will no longer be usable (regardless of the recovery
results), as bnx2x_panic() is irreversible for the driver.
As this is a possible flow, the panic should be reached only when driver
is compiled with STOP_ON_ERROR.

There was a bug in xennet_alloc_rx_buffers, when allocating page or
sk_buff failed, and at the same time rx_batch queue not empty,
the rx_refill_timer timer won't be scheduled. If finally the remaining
request buffers in rx ring less than what backend driver expected,
the backend driver would think of rx ring as full and start dropping packets.
In such situation, there is no way for the netfront driver to recover
automatically, so that the device can not work properly.
The patch fixes the problem by always scheduling rx_refill_timer timer when
alloc_page or __netdev_alloc_skb fails, no matter whether rx_batch queue is
empty or not. It ensures that the rx ring request buffers will finally meet
the backend needs.

I just can't find any value in MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(WATCHDOG_MINOR)
and MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(TEMP_MINOR) statements.
Either the device is enumerated and the driver already has a module
alias (e.g. PCI, USB etc.) that will get the right driver loaded
automatically.
Or the device is not enumerated and loading its driver will lead to
more or less intrusive hardware poking. Such hardware poking should be
limited to a bare minimum, so the user should really decide which
drivers should be tried and in what order. Trying them all in
arbitrary order can't do any good.
On top of that, loading that many drivers at once bloats the kernel
log. Also many drivers will stay loaded afterward, bloating the output
of "lsmod" and wasting memory. Some modules (cs5535_mfgpt which gets
loaded as a dependency) can't even be unloaded!
If defining char-major-10-130 is needed then it should happen in
user-space.

of_match_ptr() is a macro used to avoid undefined reference error if

data structure. It is defined as follows:
#ifdef CONFIG_OF
#define of_match_ptr(ptr) ptr
#else
#define of_match_ptr(ptr) NULL
#endif
In the case of this series, none of the drivers use CONFIG_OF macro to

Using the i2c-eg20t driver and call i2cdetect or probe on the bus,
the driver will print a lot of error messages if there was no ACK
received.
i2cdetect normally print a table with all the available devices. If there
is no device on the address, the table will be empty.
Currently with the i2c-eg20t driver, the table is not visible because
the error messages destroy the table.
Error message: pch_i2c_getack return -71
This patch prevent the driver to print the messages to syslog.
The pch_i2c_wait_for_check_xfer function is the only one who is
calling pch_i2c_getack, so we can delete the function and add the
read to pch_i2c_wait_for_check_xfer.
If no ACK is received, the Message will be printed as a dbg

Commit 400dbc9658 ("IB/core: Infrastructure for extensible uverbs
commands") added an infrastructure for extensible uverbs commands
while later commit 436f2ad05a ("IB/core: Export ib_create/destroy_flow
through uverbs") exported ib_create_flow()/ib_destroy_flow() functions
using this new infrastructure.
According to the commit 400dbc9658, the purpose of this
infrastructure is to support passing around provider (eg. hardware)
specific buffers when userspace issue commands to the kernel, so that
it would be possible to extend uverbs (eg. core) buffers independently
from the provider buffers.
But the new kernel command function prototypes were not modified to
take advantage of this extension. This issue was exposed by Roland
Dreier in a previous review[1].
So the following patch is an attempt to a revised extensible command
infrastructure.
This improved extensible command infrastructure distinguish between
core (eg. legacy)'s command/response buffers from provider
(eg. hardware)'s command/response buffers: each extended command
implementing function is given a struct ib_udata to hold core
(eg. uverbs) input and output buffers, and another struct ib_udata to
hold the hw (eg. provider) input and output buffers.
Having those buffers identified separately make it easier to increase
one buffer to support extension without having to add some code to
guess the exact size of each command/response parts: This should make
the extended functions more reliable.
Additionally, instead of relying on command identifier being greater
than IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_THRESHOLD, the proposed infrastructure rely on
unused bits in command field: on the 32 bits provided by command
field, only 6 bits are really needed to encode the identifier of
commands currently supported by the kernel. (Even using only 6 bits
leaves room for about 23 new commands).
So this patch makes use of some high order bits in command field to
store flags, leaving enough room for more command identifiers than one
will ever need (eg. 256).
The new flags are used to specify if the command should be processed
as an extended one or a legacy one. While designing the new command
format, care was taken to make usage of flags itself extensible.
Using high order bits of the commands field ensure that newer
libibverbs on older kernel will properly fail when trying to call
extended commands. On the other hand, older libibverbs on newer kernel
will never be able to issue calls to extended commands.
The extended command header includes the optional response pointer so
that output buffer length and output buffer pointer are located
together in the command, allowing proper parameters checking. This
should make implementing functions easier and safer.
Additionally the extended header ensure 64bits alignment, while making
all sizes multiple of 8 bytes, extending the maximum buffer size:
legacy extended
Maximum command buffer: 256KBytes 1024KBytes (512KBytes + 512KBytes)
Maximum response buffer: 256KBytes 1024KBytes (512KBytes + 512KBytes)
For the purpose of doing proper buffer size accounting, the headers
size are no more taken in account in "in_words".
One of the odds of the current extensible infrastructure, reading
twice the "legacy" command header, is fixed by removing the "legacy"
command header from the extended command header: they are processed as
two different parts of the command: memory is read once and
information are not duplicated: it's making clear that's an extended
command scheme and not a different command scheme.
The proposed scheme will format input (command) and output (response)
buffers this way:
- command:
legacy header +
extended header +
command data (core + hw):
+----------------------------------------+
| flags | 00 00 | command |
| in_words | out_words |
+----------------------------------------+
| response |
| response |
| provider_in_words | provider_out_words |
| padding |
+----------------------------------------+
| |
. <uverbs input> .
. (in_words * 8) .
| |
+----------------------------------------+
| |
. <provider input> .
. (provider_in_words * 8) .
| |
+----------------------------------------+
- response, if present:
+----------------------------------------+
| |
. <uverbs output space> .
. (out_words * 8) .
| |
+----------------------------------------+
| |
. <provider output space> .
. (provider_out_words * 8) .
| |
+----------------------------------------+
The overall design is to ensure that the extensible infrastructure is
itself extensible while begin more reliable with more input and bound
checking.
Note:
The unused field in the extended header would be perfect candidate to
hold the command "comp_mask" (eg. bit field used to handle
compatibility). This was suggested by Roland Dreier in a previous
review[2]. But "comp_mask" field is likely to be present in the uverb
input and/or provider input, likewise for the response, as noted by
Matan Barak[3], so it doesn't make sense to put "comp_mask" in the
header.
