scsi: pmcraid: mark symbols static where possible

2016-09-04T05:28:07+00:00

We get 4 warnings about global functions without a declaration
in the scsi pmcraid driver when building with W=1:
drivers/scsi/pmcraid.c:309:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'pmcraid_init_cmdblk' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
drivers/scsi/pmcraid.c:404:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'pmcraid_return_cmd' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
drivers/scsi/pmcraid.c:1713:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'pmcraid_ioasc_logger' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
drivers/scsi/pmcraid.c:3141:1: warning: no previous prototype for 'pmcraid_init_ioadls' [-Wmissing-prototypes]

In fact, these functions are only used in the file in which it is
declared and don't need a declaration, but can be made static.  so this
patch marks it 'static'.

scsi: pmcraid: replace struct timeval with ktime_get_real_seconds()

2015-11-12T01:51:04+00:00

Replace the use of struct timeval and do_gettimeofday() with
64 bit ktime_get_real_seconds. Prevents 32-bit type overflow
in year 2038 on 32-bit systems.

Driver was using the seconds portion of struct timeval (.tv_secs)
to pass a millseconds timestamp to the firmware. This change maintains
that same behavior using ktime_get_real_seconds.

The structure used to pass the timestamp to firmware is 48 bits and
works fine as long as the top 16 bits are zero and they will be zero
for a long time..ie. thousands of years.

Alternative Change:  Add sub second granularity to timestamp

As noted above, the driver only used the seconds portion of timeval,
ignores the microseconds portion, and by multiplying by 1000 effectively
does a <<10 and always writes zero into timestamp[0].

The alternative change would pass all the bits to the firmware:

        struct timespec64 ts;

        ktime_get_real_ts64(&ts);
        timestamp = ts.tv_sec * MSEC_PER_SEC + ts.tv_nsec / NSEC_PER_MSEC;

scsi: use host wide tags by default

2015-11-10T01:11:57+00:00

This patch changes the !blk-mq path to the same defaults as the blk-mq
I/O path by always enabling block tagging, and always using host wide
tags.  We've had blk-mq available for a few releases so bugs with
this mode should have been ironed out, and this ensures we get better
coverage of over tagging setup over different configs.

netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() void

2015-01-18T06:03:45+00:00

Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions
return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even
return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb.

This makes the very common pattern of

  if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... }

be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do

  return nlmsg_end(...);

and the caller is expected to deal with it.

This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very
common to write

  if (my_function(...))
    /* error condition */

and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong.

Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually
needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then
it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there.

Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead
code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did

-	return nlmsg_end(...);
+	nlmsg_end(...);
+	return 0;

I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning
skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected
functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared
the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just
be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more
efficient version.

One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present
in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't
check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time.
I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to
userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for
every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed
for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they
are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

scsi: remove ->change_queue_type method

2014-12-04T08:55:45+00:00

Since we got rid of ordered tag support in 2010 the prime use case of
switching on and off ordered tags has been obsolete.  The other function
of enabling/disabling tagging entirely has only been correctly implemented
by the 53c700 driver and isn't generally useful.
