2016-08-18bnxt_en: Reset embedded processor after applying firmware upgradeYunhong Jiang1-4/+42
Use HWRM_FW_RESET command to request a self-reset of the embedded processor(s) after successfully applying a firmware update. For boot processor, the self-reset is currently deferred until the next PCIe reset. upstream-status: backport Notice: We change the Signed-off-by to "Signed -of -by" to avoid trigger the spam to the original author.

2016-04-13These changes are the raw update to linux-4.4.6-rt14. Kernel sourcesJosé Pekkarinen10167-418699/+1484583
are taken from kernel.org, and rt patch from the rt wiki download page. During the rebasing, the following patch collided: Force tick interrupt and get rid of softirq magic(I70131fb85). Collisions have been removed because its logic was found on the source already. Change-Id: I7f57a4081d9deaa0d9ccfc41a6c8daccdee3b769 Signed-off-by: José Pekkarinen <jose.pekkarinen@nokia.com>
2015-11-24Make vfio MSI interrupt be non-threaded.Yunhong Jiang1-1/+1
Currently the vfio msi interrupt is kept as IRQ thread, this is not good for NFV scenerio because in NFV scenerio, we want to inject the interrupt to the guest asap. A threaded IRQ introduces schedule latency. However, this change is like a quick and dirty and may bring potential deadlock, because the spinlock_irqsave() from eventfd_signal() is preemptible in RT kernel, which should not be held on IRQ context. But changing it to be raw_spinlock is bad because it will increase the latency a lot if the eventfd is accessed by user space. The deadlock should be ok since for vfio MSI handler is purely kernel story and the lock is a per-eventfd lock and seems no one else is using it for the vfio msi scenario.

Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base. It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and the base is: commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2 Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Date: Sat Jul 25 12:13:34 2015 +0200 Prepare v4.1.3-rt3 Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We should apply another opnfv project repo in future. Change-Id: I87543d81c9df70d99c5001fbdf646b202c19f423 Signed-off-by: Yunhong Jiang <yunhong.jiang@intel.com>
