138f4c359d dmaengine, async_tx: add a "no channel switch" allocator
Channel switching is problematic for some dmaengine drivers as the
architecture precludes separating the ->prep from ->submit.  In these
cases the driver can select ASYNC_TX_DISABLE_CHANNEL_SWITCH to modify
the async_tx allocator to only return channels that support all of the
required asynchronous operations.

For example MD_RAID456=y selects support for asynchronous xor, xor
validate, pq, pq validate, and memcpy.  When
ASYNC_TX_DISABLE_CHANNEL_SWITCH=y any channel with all these
capabilities is marked DMA_ASYNC_TX allowing async_tx_find_channel() to
quickly locate compatible channels with the guarantee that dependency
chains will remain on one channel.  When
ASYNC_TX_DISABLE_CHANNEL_SWITCH=n async_tx_find_channel() may select
channels that lead to operation chains that need to cross channel
boundaries using the async_tx channel switch capability.

95475e5711 async_tx: remove walk of tx->parent chain in dma_wait_for_async_tx
We currently walk the parent chain when waiting for a given tx to
complete however this walk may race with the driver cleanup routine.
The routines in async_raid6_recov.c may fall back to the synchronous
path at any point so we need to be prepared to call async_tx_quiesce()
(which calls  dma_wait_for_async_tx).  To remove the ->parent walk we
guarantee that every time a dependency is attached ->issue_pending() is
invoked, then we can simply poll the initial descriptor until
completion.

This also allows for a lighter weight 'issue pending' implementation as
there is no longer a requirement to iterate through all the channels'
->issue_pending() routines as long as operations have been submitted in
an ordered chain.  async_tx_issue_pending() is added for this case.

a08abd8ca8 async_tx: structify submission arguments, add scribble
Prepare the api for the arrival of a new parameter, 'scribble'.  This
will allow callers to identify scratchpad memory for dma address or page
address conversions.  As this adds yet another parameter, take this
opportunity to convert the common submission parameters (flags,
dependency, callback, and callback argument) into an object that is
passed by reference.

Also, take this opportunity to fix up the kerneldoc and add notes about
the relevant ASYNC_TX_* flags for each routine.

[ Impact: moves api pass-by-value parameters to a pass-by-reference struct ]

88ba2aa586 async_tx: kill ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK flag
In support of inter-channel chaining async_tx utilizes an ack flag to
gate whether a dependent operation can be chained to another.  While the
flag is not set the chain can be considered open for appending.  Setting
the ack flag closes the chain and flags the descriptor for garbage
collection.  The ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK flag essentially means "close the
chain after adding this dependency".  Since each operation can only have
one child the api now implicitly sets the ack flag at dependency
submission time.  This removes an unnecessary management burden from
clients of the api.

[ Impact: clean up and enforce one dependency per operation ]

async_tx and net_dma each have open-coded versions of issue_pending_all,
so provide a common routine in dmaengine.

The implementation needs to walk the global device list, so implement
rcu to allow dma_issue_pending_all to run lockless.  Clients protect
themselves from channel removal events by holding a dmaengine reference.

bec085134e dmaengine: centralize channel allocation, introduce dma_find_channel
Allowing multiple clients to each define their own channel allocation
scheme quickly leads to a pathological situation.  For memory-to-memory
offload all clients can share a central allocator.

This simply moves the existing async_tx allocator to dmaengine with
minimal fixups:
* async_tx.c:get_chan_ref_by_cap --> dmaengine.c:nth_chan
* async_tx.c:async_tx_rebalance --> dmaengine.c:dma_channel_rebalance
* split out common code from async_tx.c:__async_tx_find_channel -->
  dma_find_channel

6f49a57aa5 dmaengine: up-level reference counting to the module level
Simply, if a client wants any dmaengine channel then prevent all dmaengine
modules from being removed.  Once the clients are done re-enable module
removal.

Why?, beyond reducing complication:
1/ Tracking reference counts per-transaction in an efficient manner, as
   is currently done, requires a complicated scheme to avoid cache-line
   bouncing effects.
2/ Per-transaction ref-counting gives the false impression that a
   dma-driver can be gracefully removed ahead of its user (net, md, or
   dma-slave)
3/ None of the in-tree dma-drivers talk to hot pluggable hardware, but
   if such an engine were built one day we still would not need to notify
   clients of remove events.  The driver can simply return NULL to a
   ->prep() request, something that is much easier for a client to handle.

de24125dd0 async_tx: fix the bug in async_tx_run_dependencies
Should clear the next pointer of the TX if we are sure that the
next TX (say NXT) will be submitted to the channel too. Overwise,
we break the chain of descriptors, because we lose the information
about the next descriptor to run. So next time, when invoke
async_tx_run_dependencies() with TX, it's TX->next will be NULL, and
NXT will be never submitted.

82524746c2 rcu: split list.h and move rcu-protected lists into rculist.h
Move rcu-protected lists from list.h into a new header file rculist.h.

This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the
kernel and it's currently impossible to include other header files in this
list.h without creating some circular dependencies.

For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference()
without including rcupdate.h.  It actually compiles because users of
rcu_dereference() are macros.  Others RCU functions could be used too but
aren't probably because of this.

Therefore this patch creates rculist.h which includes rcupdates without to
many changes/troubles.

636bdeaa12 dmaengine: ack to flags: make use of the unused bits in the 'ack' field
'ack' is currently a simple integer that flags whether or not a client is done
touching fields in the given descriptor.  It is effectively just a single bit
of information.  Converting this to a flags parameter allows the other bits to
be put to use to control completion actions, like dma-unmap, and capture
results, like xor-zero-sum == 0.

Changes are one of:
1/ convert all open-coded ->ack manipulations to use async_tx_ack
   and async_tx_test_ack.
2/ set the ack bit at prep time where possible
3/ make drivers store the flags at prep time
4/ add flags to the device_prep_dma_interrupt prototype

9bc89cd82d async_tx: add the async_tx api
The async_tx api provides methods for describing a chain of asynchronous
bulk memory transfers/transforms with support for inter-transactional
dependencies.  It is implemented as a dmaengine client that smooths over
the details of different hardware offload engine implementations.  Code
that is written to the api can optimize for asynchronous operation and the
api will fit the chain of operations to the available offload resources. 
 
	I imagine that any piece of ADMA hardware would register with the
	'async_*' subsystem, and a call to async_X would be routed as
	appropriate, or be run in-line. - Neil Brown

async_tx exploits the capabilities of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor to
provide an api of the following general format:

struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *
async_<operation>(..., struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *depend_tx,
			dma_async_tx_callback cb_fn, void *cb_param)
{
	struct dma_chan *chan = async_tx_find_channel(depend_tx, <operation>);
	struct dma_device *device = chan ? chan->device : NULL;
	int int_en = cb_fn ? 1 : 0;
	struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx = device ?
		device->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_en) : NULL;

	if (tx) { /* run <operation> asynchronously */
		...
		tx->tx_set_dest(addr, tx, index);
		...
		tx->tx_set_src(addr, tx, index);
		...
		async_tx_submit(chan, tx, flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
	} else { /* run <operation> synchronously */
		...
		<operation>
		...
		async_tx_sync_epilog(flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
	}

	return tx;
}

async_tx_find_channel() returns a capable channel from its pool.  The
channel pool is organized as a per-cpu array of channel pointers.  The
async_tx_rebalance() routine is tasked with managing these arrays.  In the
uniprocessor case async_tx_rebalance() tries to spread responsibility
evenly over channels of similar capabilities.  For example if there are two
copy+xor channels, one will handle copy operations and the other will
handle xor.  In the SMP case async_tx_rebalance() attempts to spread the
operations evenly over the cpus, e.g. cpu0 gets copy channel0 and xor
channel0 while cpu1 gets copy channel 1 and xor channel 1.  When a
dependency is specified async_tx_find_channel defaults to keeping the
operation on the same channel.  A xor->copy->xor chain will stay on one
channel if it supports both operation types, otherwise the transaction will
transition between a copy and a xor resource.

Currently the raid5 implementation in the MD raid456 driver has been
converted to the async_tx api.  A driver for the offload engines on the
Intel Xscale series of I/O processors, iop-adma, is provided in a later
commit.  With the iop-adma driver and async_tx, raid456 is able to offload
copy, xor, and xor-zero-sum operations to hardware engines.
 
On iop342 tiobench showed higher throughput for sequential writes (20 - 30%
improvement) and sequential reads to a degraded array (40 - 55%
improvement).  For the other cases performance was roughly equal, +/- a few
percentage points.  On a x86-smp platform the performance of the async_tx
implementation (in synchronous mode) was also +/- a few percentage points
of the original implementation.  According to 'top' on iop342 CPU
utilization drops from ~50% to ~15% during a 'resync' while the speed
according to /proc/mdstat doubles from ~25 MB/s to ~50 MB/s.
 
The tiobench command line used for testing was: tiobench --size 2048
--block 4096 --block 131072 --dir /mnt/raid --numruns 5
* iop342 had 1GB of memory available

Details:
* if CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=n the asynchronous path is compiled away by making
  async_tx_find_channel a static inline routine that always returns NULL
* when a callback is specified for a given transaction an interrupt will
  fire at operation completion time and the callback will occur in a
  tasklet.  if the the channel does not support interrupts then a live
  polling wait will be performed
* the api is written as a dmaengine client that requests all available
  channels
* In support of dependencies the api implicitly schedules channel-switch
  interrupts.  The interrupt triggers the cleanup tasklet which causes
  pending operations to be scheduled on the next channel
* Xor engines treat an xor destination address differently than a software
  xor routine.  To the software routine the destination address is an implied
  source, whereas engines treat it as a write-only destination.  This patch
  modifies the xor_blocks routine to take a an explicit destination address
  to mirror the hardware.
