When no hardware spans are configured DAHDI will use a kernel timer in order
provide timing for conferences. This is what dahdi_dummy historically was used
for. When kernel timers are used to provide timing DAHDI can both potentially
slow the rate at which time timer runs and also needs to account for how many
milliseconds of audio are processed for each 'tick' of process_masterspan.
The result is that if you are only using DAHDI for app_meetme, you can change
DAHDI_CHUNKSIZE to 40 (5ms) or 80 (10ms) bytes to reduce overhead since user
space is dealing with chunks of 20ms by default anyway.
NOTE: If you set this, you may still need to comment out the board drivers in
drivers/dahdi/Kbuild since they all do not support operating with a
DAHDI_CHUNKSIZE != 8 currently.

dahdi_receive, dahdi_transmit, and dahdi_ec_span are mostly called from
interrupt context anyway, so we can save a few cycles by not saving and
restoring the interrupt flags for every channel.
On one 2.40GHz Xeon test machine, for a span with 24 channels w/o echocan
enabled with ~10000 samples:
Function Avg Before Avg After
======================================
dahdi_receive 2.109 us 1.547 us
dahdi_transmit 3.203 us 2.766 us
dahdi_ec_span 0.416 us 0.454 us
NOTE: The time went up slightly on dahdi_ec_span since I did not have
software echocan enabled and this change calls local_irq_save regardless
in dahdi_ec_span. The slight increase in processing time in this case
is overshadowed by the savings in dahdi_receive and dahdi_transmit. If
echocan was enabled on all the channels there would be a time savings
in that dahdi_ec_span too.
When dahdi_receive/dahdi_transmit are called every millisecond (when
DAHDI_CHUNKSIZE == 8) this saves ~0.1% CPU time for each span.

The voicebus interface constantly uses the same buffers for moving data
to/from the card. A fixed pool has less overhead in this case than
constantly mapping/unmapping the kmem_cache_alloced buffers.
Saves about ~2.608 us for each run of vb_isr on a 2.40 GHz Xeon test

The voicebus library by default configures the PCI interface to poll the
descriptor ring for available buffers. There are some platforms like
the Intel SG3420P motherboard where this does not appear to be
sufficient. Writing to the transmit demand poll register resolves this
problem on these troublesome platforms. DAHDI-700 DAHDI-702.

This module parameter will allow patgen/pattest to be used only on FXO
ports. *ALL* FXO ports will be placed in digital loopback mode when
set.
The current intent is for this to be removed as an optional module
parameter when there is a channel by channel representation in sysfs.
Otherwise, a new IOCTL would have to be defined and a tool written in
order to support this. DAHDI-696.

If we know that an open file is associated with a channel (pseudo or
real) we can just update the file->f_ops pointer so that we can short
circuit some of the checks in read/write/poll. Trades sizeof(file_operations)
bytes for less function call overhead in the "hot" path.
On a 2.4 GHz Xeon, saves around 150 ns on each read / write.

Since we have the pseudo channels on their own list, we don't need to
step through the chans array when we just want to find the pseudo
channels. Likewise, all the real channels will have be on a span. Also
removes references to the global chans array in process_masterspan.

Since pseudo channels are without spans and we would like to use the
span list to enumerate through all the channels, keeping the psuedo
channels on their own list is required. I believe this is a more
natural choice than making a dummy spans for pseudos since pseudo
channels should *really* just be an implementation detail that the user
shouldn't care about.

This change also involves setting the DAHDI_FLAGBIT_CLOSE bit on the
channel before calling the 'close' callback in span ops. It appears
that only the dynamic spans may delete the channels on close, but that
code path doesn't check the DAHDI_FLAGBIT_CLOSE bit anyway.

This ioctl is called either via the "/dev/dahdi/channel" file or via a
/dev/dahdi/channo file. In either case, either the minor number of the
device file will match up with a channel, or the "private_data" member
on the channel will be set, so the unit is redundant.

I believe this makes it a little more clear what is happening. Also could
provide a potential speedup if the span doesn't need to be constantly
dereferenced (although an optimizer might make this moot). Regardless, this
change doesn't hurt.

It is still used at span registration / unregistration to assign the span
number, and when iterating through all spans. Otherwise, moves the code base a

Enable DAHDI to detect if an operation on a file handle refers to a
channel that may have been unregistered. This can occur, for example,
when a board driver is hot-swapped out in a live system.
This patch ensures that file->private_data is always properly set for
any open channel, and it's set back to NULL when a channel is
unregistered. This way file->private_data can be used to check whether
it's valid to perform an operation on the channel. (NOTE: There is
still a race condition here if the driver was unbound on one processor
during the window of time between when file->private_data was checked
and the system call finishes).
Also, since DAHDI should only return -ENODEV on read or write when there
was a surprise device removal on a running system this sleep can prevent
the system from becoming unresponsive if the userspace application does
not check for the -ENODEV error and constantly tries to call read with
elevated privileges.
