mei: make sysfs modalias format similar as uevent modalias

2017-06-03T10:10:22+00:00

modprobe is not able to resolve sysfs modalias for mei devices.

commit b26864cad1c9 ("mei: bus: add client protocol
version to the device alias"), however sysfs modalias
is still in formmat mei:S:uuid:*.

This patch equates format of uevent and sysfs modalias so that modprobe
is able to resolve the aliases.

mei: implement fsync

2017-04-08T15:38:25+00:00

When write() returns successfully, it is only assumed that a message
was successfully queued. Add fsync syscall implementation to help
user-space ensure that all data is written.

mei: bus: elminate variable length arrays

2017-04-08T15:38:25+00:00

Though VLA are supported by CC99 there are many cavities
and should be avoided.

'const size_t len = sizeof()' that we used may not be set
at the compile time hence generating VLA code.

This fixes also sparse warning
warning: Variable length array is used type.

mei: drop amthif internal client

2017-04-08T15:38:25+00:00

AMTHIF has special support in the mei drive, it handles multiplexing
multiple user space connection above single me client connection.
Since there is no additional addressing information there is a strict
requirement on the traffic order on each connection and on the "read
after write" order within the connection. This creates a lot of
complexity mostly because the other client types do not necessarily fall
under the same restriction.    After carefully studying the use of the
AMTHIF client, we came to conclusion that the multiplexing is not really
utilized by any application and we may safely remove that support and
significantly simplify the driver.

mei: add pci driver ops shutdown handler.

2017-04-08T15:38:25+00:00

The shutdown handler quiesces the device, it performs link reset in
order to close all connections and notify the device that is not longer
managed by the driver.
This is essentially a stripped down version of the PCI remove() function
where only the necessary amount of work is done to stop any further
activity.

mei: don't wait for os version message reply

2017-03-16T01:47:53+00:00

The driver still struggles with firmwares that do not replay to the OS
version request. It is safe not waiting for the replay. First, the driver
doesn't do anything with the replay second the connection is closed
immediately, hence the packet will be just safely discarded in case it
is received and last the driver won't get stuck if the firmware won't
reply.

mei: fix deadlock on mei reset

2017-03-16T01:47:53+00:00

This patch fixes 'mei: synchronize irq before initiating a reset'
The patch had introduced a deadlock between irq thread and mei_reset()
as they are both holding the same device lock.

---> device_lock:
	mei_reset()
                        <---- interrupt thread
	                        device_lock
---> synchornize_irq()
       wait on interrupt thread == (dead lock)

The fix is to call synchronize_irq
prior to call locked mei_reset function.

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big char/misc driver patchset for 4.11-rc1.

  Lots of different driver subsystems updated here: rework for the
  hyperv subsystem to handle new platforms better, mei and w1 and extcon
  driver updates, as well as a number of other "minor" driver updates.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"
