<id>496f2f93b1cc286f5a4f4f9acdc1e5314978683f</id>
<content type='text'>
This renames all random32 functions to have 'prandom_' prefix as follows:

  void prandom_seed(u32 seed);	/* rename from srandom32() */
  u32 prandom_u32(void);		/* rename from random32() */
  void prandom_seed_state(struct rnd_state *state, u64 seed);
  				/* rename from prandom32_seed() */
  u32 prandom_u32_state(struct rnd_state *state);
  				/* rename from prandom32() */

The purpose of this renaming is to prevent some kernel developers from
assuming that prandom32() and random32() might imply that only
prandom32() was the one using a pseudo-random number generator by
prandom32's "p", and the result may be a very embarassing security
exposure.  This concern was expressed by Theodore Ts'o.

And furthermore, I'm going to introduce new functions for getting the
requested number of pseudo-random bytes.  If I continue to use both
prandom32 and random32 prefixes for these functions, the confusion
is getting worse.

As a result of this renaming, "prandom_" is the common prefix for
pseudo-random number library.

Currently, srandom32() and random32() are preserved because it is
difficult to rename too many users at once.

<title>[SCSI] fcoe: Fix write errors on NPIV ports</title>

<content type='text'>
SCSI errors were generated while writing to LUNs
connected via NPIV ports.

Debugging this it was found that the FCoE packets
transmitted via the NPIV ports were not tagged with
correct user priority as negotiated with peer by DCB
agent. This resulted in FCoE traffic going with priority
zero(0) that did not have priority flow control (PFC)
enabled for it. The initiator after transferring data
to the target never saw any reply indicating the transfer
was complete. This resulted in error recovery (ABTS) and
SCSI command retries by the scsi-mid layer; eventually
resulting in I/O errors.

This patch fixes this issue by keeping the FCoE user
priority information in the fcoe_interface instance
that is common for both the physical port as well as
NPIV ports connected to that physical port; instead
of storing it in fcoe_port structure that has a per
port instance.

<title>[SCSI] fcoe: Cleanup locking on fcoe_percpu_receive_thread</title>

Noticed that we can shuffle the code around in fcoe_percpu_receive_thread a bit
and avoid taking the fcoe_rx_list lock twice per iteration.  This should improve
throughput somewhat.  With this change we take the lock, and check for new
frames in a single critical section.  Only if the list is empty do we drop the
lock and re-acquire it after being signaled to wake up.

Change Notes:
v2) did some further cleanup on the patch by replacing the 2nd call of
spin_lock/splice_init with a goto to the top of the outer loop.  This allows me
to change the inner while loop to an if conditional and remove the sencond check
of kthread_should_stop.  Based on suggestion from Vasu Dev.

strtoul returns an 'unsigned long' so there is no
reason to check if the value is less than zero.

strtoul already checks for the '-' character deep
in its bowels. It will return an error if the user
has provided a negative value and fcoe_str_to_dev_loss
will return that error to its caller.

This patch fixes the following Coverity reported warning:

CID 703581 -  NO_EFFECT Unsigned compared against 0 - This
less-than-zero comparison of an unsigned value is never true. "*val &lt; 0UL".

Recent changes to add fcoe_sysfs caused libfcoe_init to call fcoe_transport_exit
in a module initialization routine. The change resulted in the below error. This
patch removes the __exit keyword from the fcoe_transport_exit definition such
that it may be called from an __init routine.

WARNING: drivers/scsi/fcoe/libfcoe.o(.init.text+0x21): Section mismatch in reference from the function init_module() to the function .exit.text:fcoe_transp
exit()
The function __init init_module() references
a function __exit fcoe_transport_exit().
This is often seen when error handling in the init function
uses functionality in the exit path.
The fix is often to remove the __exit annotation of
fcoe_transport_exit() so it may be used outside an exit section.

The libfc is used by fcoe but fcoe agnostic,
and therefore should not have any fcoe references.

So renaming fcoe_dev_stats from libfc as its for fc_stats.
After that libfc is fcoe string free except some strings for
Open-FCoE.org.

This patch has the SW FCoE driver and the bnx2fc
driver make use of the new fcoe_sysfs API added
earlier in this patch series.

After this patch a fcoe_ctlr_device is allocated with
private data in this order.

+------------------+   +------------------+
| fcoe_ctlr_device |   | fcoe_ctlr_device |
+------------------+   +------------------+
| fcoe_ctlr        |   | fcoe_ctlr        |
+------------------+   +------------------+
| fcoe_interface   |   | bnx2fc_interface |
+------------------+   +------------------+

libfcoe also takes part in this new model since it
discovers and manages fcoe_fcf instances. The memory
allocation is different for FCFs. I didn't want to
impact libfcoe's fcoe_fcf processing, so this patch
creates fcoe_fcf_device instances for each discovered
fcoe_fcf. The two are paired using a (void * priv)
member of the fcoe_ctlr_device. This allows libfcoe
to continue maintaining its list of fcoe_fcf instances
and simply attaches and detaches them from existing
or new fcoe_fcf_device instances.

<id>9a74e884ee71dbf3d0967b0321d7b4529a04826c</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds a 'fcoe bus' infrastructure to the kernel
that is driven by changes to libfcoe which allow LLDs to
present FIP (FCoE Initialization Protocol) discovered
entities and their attributes to user space via sysfs.

This patch adds the following APIs-

fcoe_ctlr_device_add
fcoe_ctlr_device_delete
fcoe_fcf_device_add
fcoe_fcf_device_delete

They allow the LLD to expose the FCoE ENode Controller
and any discovered FCFs (Fibre Channel Forwarders, e.g.
FCoE switches) to the user. Each of these new devices
has their own bus_type so that they are grouped together
for easy lookup from a user space application. Each
new class has an attribute_group to expose attributes
for any created instances. The attributes are-

fcoe_ctlr_device
* fcf_dev_loss_tmo
* lesb_link_fail
* lesb_vlink_fail
* lesb_miss_fka
* lesb_symb_err
* lesb_err_block
* lesb_fcs_error

fcoe_fcf_device
* fabric_name
* switch_name
* priority
* selected
* fc_map
* vfid
* mac
* fka_peroid
* fabric_state
* dev_loss_tmo

A device loss infrastructre similar to the FC Transport's
is also added by this patch. It is nice to have so that a
link flapping adapter doesn't continually advance the count
used to identify the discovered FCF. FCFs will exist in a
"Disconnected" state until either the timer expires or the
FCF is rediscovered and becomes "Connected."

This patch generates a few checkpatch.pl WARNINGS that
I'm not sure what to do about. They're macros modeled
around the FC Transport attribute building macros, which
have the same 'feature' where the caller can ommit a cast
in the argument list and no cast occurs in the code. I'm
not sure how to keep the code condensed while keeping the
macros. Any advice would be appreciated.

for easy lookup from a user space application. Each
new class has an attribute_group to expose attributes
for any created instances. The attributes are-

fcoe_ctlr_device
* fcf_dev_loss_tmo
* lesb_link_fail
* lesb_vlink_fail
* lesb_miss_fka
* lesb_symb_err
* lesb_err_block
* lesb_fcs_error

fcoe_fcf_device
* fabric_name
* switch_name
* priority
* selected
* fc_map
* vfid
* mac
* fka_peroid
* fabric_state
* dev_loss_tmo

A device loss infrastructre similar to the FC Transport's
is also added by this patch. It is nice to have so that a
link flapping adapter doesn't continually advance the count
used to identify the discovered FCF. FCFs will exist in a
"Disconnected" state until either the timer expires or the
FCF is rediscovered and becomes "Connected."

This patch generates a few checkpatch.pl WARNINGS that
I'm not sure what to do about. They're macros modeled
around the FC Transport attribute building macros, which
have the same 'feature' where the caller can ommit a cast
in the argument list and no cast occurs in the code. I'm
not sure how to keep the code condensed while keeping the
macros. Any advice would be appreciated.

<title>[SCSI] fcoe: Allocate fcoe_ctlr with fcoe_interface, not as a member</title>

Currently the fcoe_ctlr associated with an interface is allocated
as a member of struct fcoe_interface. This causes problems when
attempting to use the new fcoe_sysfs APIs which allow us to allocate
the fcoe_interface as private data to the fcoe_ctlr_device instance.
The problem is that libfcoe wants to be able use pointer math to find a
fcoe_ctlr's fcoe_ctlr_device as well as finding a fcoe_ctlr_device's
assocated fcoe_ctlr. To do this we need to allocate the
fcoe_ctlr_device, with private data for the LLD. The private data
contains the fcoe_ctlr and its private data is the fcoe_interface.
This patch only allocates the fcoe_interface with the fcoe_ctlr, the
fcoe_ctlr_device will be added in a later patch, which will complete
the below diagram-

+------------------+
| fcoe_ctlr_device |
+------------------+
| fcoe_ctlr        |
+------------------+
| fcoe_interface   |
+------------------+

This prep work will allow us to go from a fcoe_ctlr_device instance
to its fcoe_ctlr as well as from a fcoe_ctlr to its fcoe_ctlr_device
once the fcoe_sysfs API is in use (later patches in this series).
