net/fec: add dual fec support for mx28

This patch is to add mx28 dual fec support. Here are some key notes
for mx28 fec controller.

 - The mx28 fec controller naming ENET-MAC is a different IP from FEC
   used on other i.mx variants.  But they are basically compatible
   on software interface, so it's possible to share the same driver.
 - ENET-MAC design on mx28 made an improper assumption that it runs
   on a big-endian system. As the result, driver has to swap every
   frame going to and coming from the controller.
 - The external phys can only be configured by fec0, which means fec1
   can not work independently and both phys need to be configured by
   mii_bus attached on fec0.
 - ENET-MAC reset will get mac address registers reset too.
 - ENET-MAC MII/RMII mode and 10M/100M speed are configured
   differently FEC.
 - ETHER_EN bit must be set to get ENET-MAC interrupt work.

The following commit made a fix to use fec_enet_open/fec_enet_close

This fix works for i.mx/mxc fec controller, but fails on mx28 fec
which gets a different interrupt logic design. On i.mx fec, interrupt
can be triggered even bit ETHER_EN of ECR register is not set. But
on mx28 fec, ETHER_EN must be set to get interrupt work. Meanwhile,
MII interrupt is mandatory to resume the driver, because MDIO

net/fec: remove the use of "index" which is legacy

The "index" becomes legacy since fep->pdev->id starts working
to identify the instance.

Moreover, the call of fec_enet_init(ndev, 0) always passes 0
to fep->index. This makes the following code in fec_get_mac buggy.

/* Adjust MAC if using default MAC address */
if (iap == fec_mac_default)
dev->dev_addr[ETH_ALEN-1] = fec_mac_default[ETH_ALEN-1] + fep->index;

I've no idea why this driver uses NULL for dma_unmap_single instead of
the &spi->dev that is laying around just waiting to be used in that
function - but it's an easy fix.

Also replace this comment with a FIXME comment:
                /* Do DMA mapping "early" for better error reporting and
                 * dcache use.  Note that if dma_unmap_single() ever starts

                 * for previous transfers on *ALL* exits of this loop...
                 */
as the comment is not true - we do work in dma_unmap() functions,
particularly on ARMv6 and above.  I've corrected the existing unmap
functions but if any others are required they must be added ASAP.

return an error (-ENXIO) or the IRQ value it found, the test should be
"if (spi_imx->irq < 0)"

[grant.likely: Note: In general, Linux irq number 0 should also mean
no irq, but arm still allows devices to be assigned 0, and the imx

Nick Piggin [Fri, 7 Jan 2011 06:50:11 +0000 (17:50 +1100)]
fs: scale mntget/mntput

The problem that this patch aims to fix is vfsmount refcounting scalability.
We need to take a reference on the vfsmount for every successful path lookup,
which often go to the same mount point.

The fundamental difficulty is that a "simple" reference count can never be made
scalable, because any time a reference is dropped, we must check whether that
was the last reference. To do that requires communication with all other CPUs
that may have taken a reference count.

We can make refcounts more scalable in a couple of ways, involving keeping
distributed counters, and checking for the global-zero condition less
frequently.

- check the global sum once every interval (this will delay zero detection
  for some interval, so it's probably a showstopper for vfsmounts).

- keep a local count and only taking the global sum when local reaches 0 (this
  is difficult for vfsmounts, because we can't hold preempt off for the life of
  a reference, so a counter would need to be per-thread or tied strongly to a
  particular CPU which requires more locking).

- keep a local difference of increments and decrements, which allows us to sum
  the total difference and hence find the refcount when summing all CPUs. Then,
  keep a single integer "long" refcount for slow and long lasting references,
  and only take the global sum of local counters when the long refcount is 0.

This last scheme is what I implemented here. Attached mounts and process root
and working directory references are "long" references, and everything else is
a short reference.

This allows scalable vfsmount references during path walking over mounted
subtrees and unattached (lazy umounted) mounts with processes still running
in them.

This results in one fewer atomic op in the fastpath: mntget is now just a
per-CPU inc, rather than an atomic inc; and mntput just requires a spinlock
and non-atomic decrement in the common case. However code is otherwise bigger
and heavier, so single threaded performance is basically a wash.
