The genweq_add_file and genwqe_del_file by caching current without
using reference counting embed the assumption that a file descriptor
will never be passed from one process to another. It even embeds the
assumption that the the thread that opened the file will be in
existence when the process terminates. Neither of which are
guaranteed to be true.
Therefore replace caching the task_struct of the opener with
pid of the openers thread group id. All the knowledge of the
opener is used for is as the target of SIGKILL and a SIGKILL
will kill the entire process group.
Rename genwqe_force_sig to genwqe_terminate, remove it's unncessary
signal argument, update it's ownly caller, and use kill_pid
instead of force_sig.
The work force_sig does in changing signal handling state is not
relevant to SIGKILL sent as SEND_SIG_PRIV. The exact same processess
will be killed just with less work, and less confusion. The work done
by force_sig is really only needed for handling syncrhonous
exceptions.
It will still be possible to cause genwqe_device_remove to wait
8 seconds by passing a file descriptor to another process but
the possible user after free is fixed.

Return statements in functions returning bool should use true or false
instead of an integer value.

This is a clean-up patch, no functional changes intended.
It removes the unused parameter of type "struct ddcb_requ*" from
the functions genwqe_user_vmap() and genwqe_user_vunmap().

It makes all defines uppercase, following a "tradition"
that helps to make code clearer.

Currently we assume userspace pages are always writable when doing
memory pinning. This is not true, specially since userspace applications
may allocate their memory the way they want, we have no control over it.
If a read-only page is set for pinning, currently the driver fails due
to get_user_pages_fast() refusing to map read-only pages as writable.
This patch changes this behavior, by taking the permission flags of the
pages into account in both pinning/unpinning process, as well as in the
DMA data copy-back to userpace (which we shouldn't try to do blindly,
since it will fail in case of read-only-pages).

Simply the interrupt setup by using the new PCI layer helpers.
One odd thing about this driver is that it looks like it could request
multiple MSI vectors, but it will then only ever use a single one.

When the GenWQE hardware queue was busy, the driver returned simply
-EBUSY. This caused polling by applications which increased the load
on the already busy system. This change implements the possiblity to
sleep on a waitqueue instead when the DDCB queue is busy. The
requestor is woken up when there is free space on the queue again.
The old way to get -EBUSY is still available if the device is openend
with O_NONBLOCKING. The default is now blocking behavior.

Currently the driver is using the pci_get_totalvfs() return code
directly in a loop. To avoid problems with potentially negative
returns in case of errors, we are adding some more sanity checking
code.

This patch implements the callbacks and functions necessary to have EEH
recovery support.
It adds a config option to enable or disable explicit calls to trigger
platform specific mechanisms on error recovery paths. This option is
enabled by default only on PPC64 systems and can be overritten via
debugfs. If this option is enabled, on the error recovery path the
driver will call pci_channel_offline() to check for error condition and
issue non-raw MMIO reads to trigger early EEH detection in case of
hardware failures. This is necessary since the driver MMIO helper
funtions use raw accessors.

When being used in a multithreaded application there were problems
with memory pages/cachelines accessed by multiple threads/cpus at the
same time, while doing DMA transfers to/from those. To avoid such
situations this fix is creating a copy of the first and the last page
if it is not fully used. The data is copied from user-space into those
pages and results are copied back when the DDCB-request is
successfully finished.
