Right now for kfifo_*_user it's not easily possible to distingush between a user copy failing and the FIFO not containing enough data. The problem is that both conditions are multiplexed into the same return code. Avoid this by moving the "copy length" into a separate output parameter and only return 0/-EFAULT in the main return value. I didn't fully adapt the weird "record" variants, those seem to be unused anyways and were rather messy (should they be just removed?) I would appreciate some double checking if I did all the conversions correctly. Signed-off-by:

The pointers to user buffers are currently unsigned char *, which requires a lot of casting in the caller for any non-char typed buffers. Use void * instead. Signed-off-by:

Fix kernel-doc errors and warnings in new header file kfifo.h. Don't use kernel-doc "/**" for internal functions whose comments are not in kernel-doc format. kernel-doc section header names (like "Note:") must be unique per function. Looks like I need to document that. Error(include/linux/kfifo.h:76): duplicate section name 'Note' Warning(include/linux/kfifo.h:88): Excess function parameter 'size' description in 'INIT_KFIFO' Error(include/linux/kfifo.h:101): duplicate section name 'Note' Warning(include/linux/kfifo.h:257): No description found for parameter 'fifo' (many of this last type, from internal functions) Signed-off-by:Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Cc: Stefani Seibold <stefani@seibold.net> Signed-off-by:

Add kfifo_in_rec() - puts some record data into the FIFO Add kfifo_out_rec() - gets some record data from the FIFO Add kfifo_from_user_rec() - puts some data from user space into the FIFO Add kfifo_to_user_rec() - gets data from the FIFO and write it to user space Add kfifo_peek_rec() - gets the size of the next FIFO record field Add kfifo_skip_rec() - skip the next fifo out record Add kfifo_avail_rec() - determinate the number of bytes available in a record FIFO Signed-off-by:

Fix the "ignoring return value of '...', declared with attribute warn_unused_result" compiler warning in several users of the new kfifo API. It removes the __must_check attribute from kfifo_in() and kfifo_in_locked() which must not necessary performed. Fix the allocation bug in the nozomi driver file, by moving out the kfifo_alloc from the interrupt handler into the probe function. Fix the kfifo_out() and kfifo_out_locked() users to handle a unexpected end of fifo. Signed-off-by:

Move the pointer to the spinlock out of struct kfifo. Most users in tree do not actually use a spinlock, so the few exceptions now have to call kfifo_{get,put}_locked, which takes an extra argument to a spinlock. Signed-off-by: -

This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation. The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it. FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory resources. I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use: - The API is to simple, important functions are missing - A fifo can be only allocated dynamically - There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not - There is no support for data records inside a fifo So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up the API to much. The new API has the following benefits: - Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver. - Provide an API for the most use case. - Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions. - Linux style habit. - DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros - Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo. - The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator. - Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo, which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary. - Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if one is required. - Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported: - Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size field of 1 bytes. - Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size field of 2 bytes. - Fixed size records, which no record size field. - Preserve memory resource. - Performance! - Easy to use! This patch: Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object, reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

Currently kfifo cannot be used by parts of the kernel that use "const" properly as kfifo itself does not use const for passed data blocks which are indeed const. Signed-off-by:

- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t; - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
