kfifo: move struct kfifo in place
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.

/*
|
|
|
|
* Howto porting drivers to the new generic fifo API:
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* - Modify the declaration of the "struct kfifo *" object into a
|
|
|
|
* in-place "struct kfifo" object
|
|
|
|
* - Init the in-place object with kfifo_alloc() or kfifo_init()
|
|
|
|
* Note: The address of the in-place "struct kfifo" object must be
|
|
|
|
* passed as the first argument to this functions
|
|
|
|
* - Replace the use of __kfifo_put into kfifo_in and __kfifo_get
|
|
|
|
* into kfifo_out
|
|
|
|
* - Replace the use of kfifo_put into kfifo_in_locked and kfifo_get
|
|
|
|
* into kfifo_out_locked
|
|
|
|
* Note: the spinlock pointer formerly passed to kfifo_init/kfifo_alloc
|
|
|
|
* must be passed now to the kfifo_in_locked and kfifo_out_locked
|
|
|
|
* as the last parameter.
|
|
|
|
* - All formerly name __kfifo_* functions has been renamed into kfifo_*
