1) Enabling multiple csm_encaps channel commands in a single packet.
2) Sending commands to separate channels in parallel.
This reduces the time waiting for the responses to the commands and brings in
the channel setup from 50ms to under 10ms.

interruptible_sleep_on_timeout() has been deprecated for awhile and was finally
removed in Linux 3.15. Since interruptible_sleep_on_timeout() uses jiffies for
the delay, I assumed that each jiffy equated to 10ms given the age of the
driver.

Some architectures, like arm, do not automatically pull in the definitions for
kzalloc and friends. This allows DAHDI to build on those platforms.

This patch does a couple of things. It adds a new DEBUG mode where packet
statistics are printed when channels are closed which can be used to track where
packets might be lost in the transcoding chain.
This patch will also print to the kernel log if the AN983 has detected any
errored received packets. Problems of this type are typically system problems,
like when the card is having trouble DMAing packets.

Even if it is duplicated or we don't have an outbound message waiting, we should
ack it so that the firmware does not keep trying to send it to the host.
Otherwise the firmware could get into situations where it was constantly
retrying to send packets for which it did not receive our previous ACK and
exhaust memory.
I was only seeing this on platforms were packets were going missing in the
stream, increasing the probability that the driver would miss early responses.

When an unsolicited alert is received, we'll flag the card as halted so that
commands will not be retried. This is because often times the firmware will no
longer process any commands in this state and the driver will hold processes in

v2.7.0). This failed to set the PCM mask on a CAS span when

In an Astribank with >= 2 PRI ports, switching from E1 to T1 at run-time
may fail at the DAHDI_CHANCONFIG ioctl on the first channel in a span,
That is, on first run of dahdi_cfg, it fails on second span, on second:
it fails on third span, etc.
The code clears the D-channel information on the DAHDI_CHANCONFIG call
for the first channel in the span.
However The code tested for the global "channo" rather than the per-span
"chanpos" to check for the first channel in the span. This the test

When the card goes through a reset the PCIe link will be brought down. Some
slots will report this change upstream to the root port which will believe that
the card has been hotplugged out of the system.
This fixes cases on some systems where, during a firmware update, the card gets
removed from the system's logical PCI tree with messages like the following in
the kernel log:
pciehp 0000:00:1c.0:pcie04: Card not present on Slot(259)
pciehp 0000:00:1c.0:pcie04: Card present on Slot(259)

There are some platforms where the DMA operation to the host does not complete
within the required 50us. When this happens some versions of the firmware will
issue a retry and increment the retry field in the descriptor status word.

will be printed to the kernel log as a potential troubleshooting aide.

There are error conditions that the firmware can detect but cannot recover from
without help from the driver. When firmware detects these conditions the
DESC_IO_ERROR bit will be set in the descriptor header to signal that the driver
should reset the TDM engine on the card. Since this is not due to failure of the
host to service the interrupt in time, it does not make sense to increase
latency when these conditions are detected.

This allows a .tar.gz file that is normally downloaded from the server to be
checked directly into a test branch. Now when the firmware is being installed,
it can be extracted from any present .tar.gz. Again, this is primarily to
simplify testing.
A nice side effect is that when going from a newer version to an older version,
any stale .bin files in the firmware directory will not be installed into
/lib/firmware, but instead the bin file from the *versioned* .tar.gz will always
be installed. This should reduce problems where you have to run "make
dist-clean" when reverting to an older version that has a firmware change.
