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.

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.

/*
* 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_*
