vduse: Introduce VDUSE - vDPA Device in Userspace

2021-09-06T11:20:58Z

This VDUSE driver enables implementing software-emulated vDPA devices in userspace. The vDPA device is created by ioctl(VDUSE_CREATE_DEV) on /dev/vduse/control. Then a char device interface (/dev/vduse/$NAME) is exported to userspace for device emulation. In order to make the device emulation more secure, the device's control path is handled in kernel. A message mechnism is introduced to forward some dataplane related control messages to userspace. And in the data path, the DMA buffer will be mapped into userspace address space through different ways depending on the vDPA bus to which the vDPA device is attached. In virtio-vdpa case, the MMU-based software IOTLB is used to achieve that. And in vhost-vdpa case, the DMA buffer is reside in a userspace memory region which can be shared to the VDUSE userspace processs via transferring the shmfd. For more details on VDUSE design and usage, please see the follow-on Documentation commit. NB(mst): when merging this with b542e383d8c0 ("eventfd: Make signal recursion protection a task bit") replace eventfd_signal_count with eventfd_signal_allowed, and drop the previous ("eventfd: Export eventfd_wake_count to modules").

remove the lightnvm subsystem

2021-08-14T21:54:09Z

Lightnvm supports the OCSSD 1.x and 2.0 specs which were early attempts to produce Open Channel SSDs and never made it into the NVMe spec proper. They have since been superceeded by NVMe enhancements such as ZNS support. Remove the support per the deprecation schedule.

platform/surface: aggregator_cdev: Add support for forwarding events to user-space

2021-06-16T15:47:53Z

Currently, debugging unknown events requires writing a custom driver. This is somewhat difficult, slow to adapt, and not entirely user-friendly for quickly trying to figure out things on devices of some third-party user. We can do better. We already have a user-space interface intended for debugging SAM EC requests, so let's add support for receiving events to that. This commit provides support for receiving events by reading from the controller file. It additionally introduces two new IOCTLs to control which event categories will be forwarded. Specifically, a user-space client can specify which target categories it wants to receive events from by registering the corresponding notifier(s) via the IOCTLs and after that, read the received events by reading from the controller device.

Major things are: - removal of wimax drivers, no one has this hardware anymore for this failed "experiment". - removal of the Google gasket driver, turns out no one wanted to maintain it or cares about it anymore, so they asked for it to be removed. - comedi finally moves out of the staging directory into drivers/comedi This is one of the oldest kernel subsystems around, being created in the 2.0 kernel days, and was one of the first things added to drivers/staging/ when that was created over 15 years ago. It should have been moved out of staging a long time ago, it's well maintained and used by loads of different devices in the real world every day. Nice to see this finally happen. - so many tiny coding style cleanups it's not funny. Perfect storm of at least 2 different intern project application deadlines combined to provide a huge number of new contributions in this area from people learning how to do kernel development.
