[PATCH v4 0/7] ocxl: Implement Power9 as_notify/wait for OpenCAPI

From: Alastair D'Silva
Date: Wed May 09 2018 - 01:36:44 EST


From: Alastair D'Silva <alastair@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The Power 9 as_notify/wait feature provides a lower latency way to
signal a thread that work is complete. This series enables the use of
this feature from OpenCAPI adapters, as well as addressing a potential
starvation issue when allocating thread IDs.

Changelog:
v4:
Remove the "unique" statement from the set_thread_tidr function and
move the text explaining why it is safe from the commit message
to the function description
v3:
Fix references to POWER9
Remove stray whitespace edit from docs
Add more details to commit message for "use task_pid_nr()"
Retitle patch 6 to indicate OCXL rather than CPU features
v2:
Rename get_platform IOCTL to get_features
Move stray edit from patch 1 to patch 3

Alastair D'Silva (7):
powerpc: Add TIDR CPU feature for POWER9
powerpc: Use TIDR CPU feature to control TIDR allocation
powerpc: use task_pid_nr() for TID allocation
ocxl: Rename pnv_ocxl_spa_remove_pe to clarify it's action
ocxl: Expose the thread_id needed for wait on POWER9
ocxl: Add an IOCTL so userspace knows what OCXL features are available
ocxl: Document new OCXL IOCTLs
