+
+1 INTRODUCTION
+
+The async_tx API provides methods for describing a chain of asynchronous
+bulk memory transfers/transforms with support for inter-transactional
+dependencies.  It is implemented as a dmaengine client that smooths over
+the details of different hardware offload engine implementations.  Code
+that is written to the API can optimize for asynchronous operation and
+the API will fit the chain of operations to the available offload
+resources.
+
+2 GENEALOGY
+
+The API was initially designed to offload the memory copy and
+xor-parity-calculations of the md-raid5 driver using the offload engines
+present in the Intel(R) Xscale series of I/O processors.  It also built
+on the 'dmaengine' layer developed for offloading memory copies in the
+network stack using Intel(R) I/OAT engines.  The following design
+features surfaced as a result:
+1/ implicit synchronous path: users of the API do not need to know if
+   the platform they are running on has offload capabilities.  The
+   operation will be offloaded when an engine is available and carried out
+   in software otherwise.
+2/ cross channel dependency chains: the API allows a chain of dependent
+   operations to be submitted, like xor->copy->xor in the raid5 case.  The
+   API automatically handles cases where the transition from one operation
+   to another implies a hardware channel switch.
+3/ dmaengine extensions to support multiple clients and operation types
+   beyond 'memcpy'
+
+3 USAGE
+
+3.1 General format of the API:
+struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *
+async_<operation>(<op specific parameters>,
+		  enum async_tx_flags flags,
+        	  struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *dependency,
+        	  dma_async_tx_callback callback_routine,
+		  void *callback_parameter);
+
+3.2 Supported operations:
+memcpy       - memory copy between a source and a destination buffer
+memset       - fill a destination buffer with a byte value
+xor          - xor a series of source buffers and write the result to a
+	       destination buffer
+xor_zero_sum - xor a series of source buffers and set a flag if the
+	       result is zero.  The implementation attempts to prevent
+	       writes to memory
+
+3.3 Descriptor management:
+The return value is non-NULL and points to a 'descriptor' when the operation
+has been queued to execute asynchronously.  Descriptors are recycled
+resources, under control of the offload engine driver, to be reused as
+operations complete.  When an application needs to submit a chain of
+operations it must guarantee that the descriptor is not automatically recycled
+before the dependency is submitted.  This requires that all descriptors be
+acknowledged by the application before the offload engine driver is allowed to
+recycle (or free) the descriptor.  A descriptor can be acked by one of the
+following methods:
+1/ setting the ASYNC_TX_ACK flag if no child operations are to be submitted
+2/ setting the ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK flag to acknowledge the parent
+   descriptor of a new operation.
+3/ calling async_tx_ack() on the descriptor.
+
+3.4 When does the operation execute?
+Operations do not immediately issue after return from the
+async_<operation> call.  Offload engine drivers batch operations to
+improve performance by reducing the number of mmio cycles needed to
+manage the channel.  Once a driver-specific threshold is met the driver
+automatically issues pending operations.  An application can force this
+event by calling async_tx_issue_pending_all().  This operates on all
+channels since the application has no knowledge of channel to operation
+mapping.
+
+3.5 When does the operation complete?
+There are two methods for an application to learn about the completion
+of an operation.
+1/ Call dma_wait_for_async_tx().  This call causes the CPU to spin while
+   it polls for the completion of the operation.  It handles dependency
+   chains and issuing pending operations.
+2/ Specify a completion callback.  The callback routine runs in tasklet
+   context if the offload engine driver supports interrupts, or it is
+   called in application context if the operation is carried out
+   synchronously in software.  The callback can be set in the call to
+   async_<operation>, or when the application needs to submit a chain of
+   unknown length it can use the async_trigger_callback() routine to set a
+   completion interrupt/callback at the end of the chain.
+
+3.6 Constraints:
+1/ Calls to async_<operation> are not permitted in IRQ context.  Other
+   contexts are permitted provided constraint #2 is not violated.
+2/ Completion callback routines cannot submit new operations.  This
+   results in recursion in the synchronous case and spin_locks being
+   acquired twice in the asynchronous case.
+
+3.7 Example:
+Perform a xor->copy->xor operation where each operation depends on the
+result from the previous operation:
+
+void complete_xor_copy_xor(void *param)
+{
+	printk("complete\n");
+}
+
+int run_xor_copy_xor(struct page **xor_srcs,
+		     int xor_src_cnt,
+		     struct page *xor_dest,
+		     size_t xor_len,
+		     struct page *copy_src,
+		     struct page *copy_dest,
+		     size_t copy_len)
+{
+	struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx;
+
+	tx = async_xor(xor_dest, xor_srcs, 0, xor_src_cnt, xor_len,
+		       ASYNC_TX_XOR_DROP_DST, NULL, NULL, NULL);
+	tx = async_memcpy(copy_dest, copy_src, 0, 0, copy_len,
+			  ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK, tx, NULL, NULL);
+	tx = async_xor(xor_dest, xor_srcs, 0, xor_src_cnt, xor_len,
+		       ASYNC_TX_XOR_DROP_DST | ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK | ASYNC_TX_ACK,
+		       tx, complete_xor_copy_xor, NULL);
+
+	async_tx_issue_pending_all();
+}
+
+See include/linux/async_tx.h for more information on the flags.  See the
+ops_run_* and ops_complete_* routines in drivers/md/raid5.c for more
+implementation examples.
+
+4 DRIVER DEVELOPMENT NOTES
+4.1 Conformance points:
+There are a few conformance points required in dmaengine drivers to
+accommodate assumptions made by applications using the async_tx API:
+1/ Completion callbacks are expected to happen in tasklet context
+2/ dma_async_tx_descriptor fields are never manipulated in IRQ context
+3/ Use async_tx_run_dependencies() in the descriptor clean up path to
+   handle submission of dependent operations
+
+4.2 "My application needs finer control of hardware channels"
+This requirement seems to arise from cases where a DMA engine driver is
+trying to support device-to-memory DMA.  The dmaengine and async_tx
+implementations were designed for offloading memory-to-memory
+operations; however, there are some capabilities of the dmaengine layer
+that can be used for platform-specific channel management.
+Platform-specific constraints can be handled by registering the
+application as a 'dma_client' and implementing a 'dma_event_callback' to
+apply a filter to the available channels in the system.  Before showing
+how to implement a custom dma_event callback some background of
+dmaengine's client support is required.
+
+The following routines in dmaengine support multiple clients requesting
+use of a channel:
+- dma_async_client_register(struct dma_client *client)
+- dma_async_client_chan_request(struct dma_client *client)
+
+dma_async_client_register takes a pointer to an initialized dma_client
+structure.  It expects that the 'event_callback' and 'cap_mask' fields
+are already initialized.
+
+dma_async_client_chan_request triggers dmaengine to notify the client of
+all channels that satisfy the capability mask.  It is up to the client's
+event_callback routine to track how many channels the client needs and
+how many it is currently using.  The dma_event_callback routine returns a
+dma_state_client code to let dmaengine know the status of the
+allocation.
+
+Below is the example of how to extend this functionality for
+platform-specific filtering of the available channels beyond the
+standard capability mask:
+
+static enum dma_state_client
+my_dma_client_callback(struct dma_client *client,
+			struct dma_chan *chan, enum dma_state state)
+{
+	struct dma_device *dma_dev;
+	struct my_platform_specific_dma *plat_dma_dev;
+	
+	dma_dev = chan->device;
+	plat_dma_dev = container_of(dma_dev,
+				    struct my_platform_specific_dma,
+				    dma_dev);
+
+	if (!plat_dma_dev->platform_specific_capability)
+		return DMA_DUP;
+
+	. . .
+}

+** Introduction
+This document describes what I managed to discover about the protocol used to
+specify force effects to I-Force 2.0 devices.  None of this information comes
+from Immerse. That's why you should not trust what is written in this
+document. This document is intended to help understanding the protocol.
+This is not a reference. Comments and corrections are welcome.  To contact me,
+send an email to: deneux@ifrance.com
+
+** WARNING **
+I may not be held responsible for any dammage or harm caused if you try to
+send data to your I-Force device based on what you read in this document.
+
+** Preliminary Notes:
+All values are hexadecimal with big-endian encoding (msb on the left). Beware,
+values inside packets are encoded using little-endian.  Bytes whose roles are
+unknown are marked ???  Information that needs deeper inspection is marked (?)
+
+** General form of a packet **
+This is how packets look when the device uses the rs232 to communicate.
+2B OP LEN DATA CS
+CS is the checksum. It is equal to the exclusive or of all bytes.
+
+When using USB:
+OP DATA
+The 2B, LEN and CS fields have disappeared, probably because USB handles frames and
+data corruption is handled or unsignificant.
+
+First, I describe effects that are sent by the device to the computer
+
+** Device input state
+This packet is used to indicate the state of each button and the value of each
+axis
+OP= 01 for a joystick, 03 for a wheel
+LEN= Varies from device to device

+07 Rudder
+
+** Device effects states
+OP= 02
+LEN= Varies
+00 ? Bit 1 (Value 2) is the value of the deadman switch
+01 Bit 8 is set if the effect is playing. Bits 0 to 7 are the effect id.

+03 Address of parameter block changed (lsb)
+04 Address of parameter block changed (msb)
+05 Address of second parameter block changed (lsb)
+... depending on the number of parameter blocks updated
+
+** Force effect **

+	          Val 8 = Y axis only. Byte 05 must contain b4
+	          Val c = X and Y axes. Bytes 05 must contain 60
+	Bits 0-3: Val 0 = No trigger

+어떻게 리눅스 커널 개발을 하는가
+---------------------------------
+
+이 문서는 커널 개발에 있어 가장 중요한 문서이다. 이 문서는
+리눅스 커널 개발자가 되는 법과 리눅스 커널 개발 커뮤니티와 일하는
+법을 담고있다. 커널 프로그래밍의기술적인 측면과 관련된 내용들은
+포함하지 않으려고 하였지만 올바으로 여러분을 안내하는 데 도움이
+될 것이다.
+
+이 문서에서 오래된 것을 발견하면 문서의 아래쪽에 나열된 메인트너에게
+패치를 보내달라.
+
+
+소개
+----
+
+자, 여러분은 리눅스 커널 개발자가 되는 법을 배우고 싶은가? 아니면
+상사로부터"이 장치를 위한 리눅스 드라이버를 작성하시오"라는 말을
+들었는가? 이 문서는 여러분이 겪게 될 과정과 커뮤니티와 일하는 법을
+조언하여 여러분의 목적을 달성하기 위해 필요한 것 모두를 알려주는
+것이다.
+
+커널은 대부분은 C로 작성되었어고 몇몇 아키텍쳐의 의존적인 부분은
+어셈블리로 작성되었다. 커널 개발을 위해 C를 잘 이해하고 있어야 한다.
+여러분이 특정 아키텍쳐의 low-level 개발을 할 것이 아니라면
+어셈블리(특정 아키텍쳐)는 잘 알아야 할 필요는 없다.
+다음의 참고서적들은 기본에 충실한 C 교육이나 수년간의 경험에 견주지는
+못하지만 적어도 참고 용도로는 좋을 것이다
+ - "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie [Prentice Hall]
+ - "Practical C Programming" by Steve Oualline [O'Reilly]
+ - "C:  A Reference Manual" by Harbison and Steele [Prentice Hall]
+
+커널은 GNU C와 GNU 툴체인을 사용하여 작성되었다. 이 툴들은 ISO C89 표준을
+따르는 반면 표준에 있지 않은 많은 확장기능도 가지고 있다. 커널은 표준 C
+라이브러리와는 관계없이 freestanding C 환경이어서 C 표준의 일부는
+지원되지 않는다. 임의의 long long 나누기나 floating point는 지원되지 않는다.
+때론 이런 이유로 커널이 그런 확장 기능을 가진 툴체인을 가지고 만들어졌다는
+것이 이해하기 어려울 수도 있고 게다가 불행하게도 그런 것을 정확하게 설명하는
+어떤 참고문서도 있지 않다. 정보를 얻기 위해서는 gcc info (`info gcc`)페이지를
+살펴보라.
+
+여러분은 기존의 개발 커뮤니티와 일하는 법을 배우려고 하고 있다는 것을
+기억하라. 코딩, 스타일, 절차에 관한 훌륭한 표준을 가진 사람들이 모인
+다양한 그룹이 있다. 이 표준들은 오랜동안 크고 지역적으로 분산된 팀들에
+의해 가장 좋은 방법으로 일하기위하여 찾은 것을 기초로 만들어져왔다.
+그 표준들은 문서화가 잘 되어 있기 때문에 가능한한 미리 많은 표준들에
+관하여 배우려고 시도하라. 다른 사람들은 여러분이나 여러분의 회사가
+일하는 방식에 적응하는 것을 원하지는 않는다.
+
+
+법적 문제
+---------
+
+리눅스 커널 소스 코드는 GPL로 배포(release)되었다. 소스트리의 메인
+디렉토리에 있는 라이센스에 관하여 상세하게 쓰여 있는 COPYING이라는
+파일을 봐라.여러분이 라이센스에 관한 더 깊은 문제를 가지고 있다면
+리눅스 커널 메일링 리스트에 묻지말고 변호사와 연락하라. 메일링
+리스트들에 있는 사람들은 변호사가 아니기 때문에 법적 문제에 관하여
+그들의 말에 의지해서는 안된다.
+
+GPL에 관한 잦은 질문들과 답변들은 다음을 참조하라.
+    http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html
+
+
+문서
+----
+
+리눅스 커널 소스 트리는 커널 커뮤니티와 일하는 법을 배우기 위한 많은
+귀중한 문서들을 가지고 있다. 새로운 기능들이 커널에 들어가게 될 때,
+그 기능을 어떻게 사용하는지에 관한 설명을 위하여 새로운 문서 파일을
+추가하는 것을 권장한다. 커널이 유저스페이스로 노출하는 인터페이스를
+변경하게 되면 변경을 설명하는 메뉴얼 페이지들에 대한 패치나 정보를
+mtk-manpages@gmx.net의 메인트너에게 보낼 것을 권장한다.
+
+다음은 커널 소스 트리에 있는 읽어야 할 파일들의 리스트이다.
+  README
+    이 파일은 리눅스 커널에 관하여 간단한 배경 설명과 커널을 설정하고
+    빌드하기 위해 필요한 것을 설명한다. 커널에 입문하는 사람들은 여기서
+    시작해야 한다.
+
+  Documentation/Changes
+    이 파일은 커널을 성공적으로 빌드하고 실행시키기 위해 필요한 다양한
+    소프트웨어 패키지들의 최소 버젼을 나열한다.
+
+  Documentation/CodingStyle
+    이 문서는 리눅스 커널 코딩 스타일과 그렇게 한 몇몇 이유를 설명한다.
+    모든 새로운 코드는 이 문서에 가이드라인들을 따라야 한다. 대부분의
+    메인트너들은 이 규칙을 따르는 패치들만을 받아들일 것이고 많은 사람들이
+    그 패치가 올바른 스타일일 경우만 코드를 검토할 것이다.
+
+  Documentation/SubmittingPatches
+  Documentation/SubmittingDrivers
+    이 파일들은 성공적으로 패치를 만들고 보내는 법을 다음의 내용들로
+    굉장히 상세히 설명하고 있다(그러나 다음으로 한정되진 않는다).
+       - Email 내용들
+       - Email 양식
+       - 그것을 누구에게 보낼지
+    이러한 규칙들을 따르는 것이 성공을 보장하진 않는다(왜냐하면 모든
+    패치들은 내용과 스타일에 관하여 면밀히 검토되기 때문이다).
+    그러나 규칙을 따르지 않는다면 거의 성공하지도 못할 것이다.
+
+    올바른 패치들을 만드는 법에 관한 훌륭한 다른 문서들이 있다.

+    "Linux kernel patch submission format"
+        http://linux.yyz.us/patch-format.html
+
+   Documentation/stable_api_nonsense.txt
+    이 문서는 의도적으로 커널이 변하지 않는 API를 갖지 않도록 결정한
+    이유를 설명하며 다음과 같은 것들을 포함한다.
+       - 서브시스템 shim-layer(호환성을 위해?)
+       - 운영 체제들 간의 드라이버 이식성
+       - 커널 소스 트리내에 빠른 변화를 늦추는 것(또는 빠른 변화를 막는 것)
+    이 문서는 리눅스 개발 철학을 이해하는데 필수적이며 다른 운영체제에서
+    리눅스로 옮겨오는 사람들에게는 매우 중요하다.
+
+
+  Documentation/SecurityBugs
+    여러분들이 리눅스 커널의 보안 문제를 발견했다고 생각한다면 이 문서에
+    나온 단계에 따라서 커널 개발자들에게 알리고 그 문제를 해결할 수 있도록
+    도와 달라.
+
+  Documentation/ManagementStyle
+    이 문서는 리눅스 커널 메인트너들이 어떻게 그들의 방법론의 정신을
+    어떻게 공유하고 운영하는지를 설명한다. 이것은 커널 개발에 입문하는
+    모든 사람들(또는 커널 개발에 작은 호기심이라도 있는 사람들)이
+    읽어야 할 중요한 문서이다. 왜냐하면 이 문서는 커널 메인트너들의
+    독특한 행동에 관하여 흔히 있는 오해들과 혼란들을 해소하고 있기
+    때문이다.
+
+  Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt
+    이 문서는 안정적인 커널 배포가 이루어지는 규칙을 설명하고 있으며
+    여러분들이 이러한 배포들 중 하나에 변경을 하길 원한다면
+    무엇을 해야 하는지를 설명한다.
+
+  Documentation/kernel-docs.txt
+    커널 개발에 관계된 외부 문서의 리스트이다. 커널 내의 포함된 문서들
+    중에 여러분이 찾고 싶은 문서를 발견하지 못할 경우 이 리스트를
+    살펴보라.
+
+  Documentation/applying-patches.txt
+    패치가 무엇이며 그것을 커널의 다른 개발 브랜치들에 어떻게
+    적용하는지에 관하여 자세히 설명 하고 있는 좋은 입문서이다.
+
+커널은 소스 코드 그 자체에서 자동적으로 만들어질 수 있는 많은 문서들을
+가지고 있다. 이것은 커널 내의 API에 대한 모든 설명, 그리고 락킹을
+올바르게 처리하는 법에 관한 규칙을 포함하고 있다. 이 문서는
+Documentation/DocBook/ 디렉토리 내에서 만들어지며 PDF, Postscript, HTML,
+그리고 man 페이지들로 다음과 같이 실행하여 만들어 진다.
+         make pdfdocs
+         make psdocs
+         make htmldocs
+         make mandocs
+각각의 명령을 메인 커널 소스 디렉토리로부터 실행한다.

+
+커널 개발자가 되는 것
+---------------------
+
+여러분이 리눅스 커널 개발에 관하여 아무것도 모른다면 Linux KernelNewbies
+프로젝트를 봐야 한다.
+    http://kernelnewbies.org
+그곳은 거의 모든 종류의 기본적인 커널 개발 질문들(질문하기 전에 먼저
+아카이브를 찾아봐라. 과거에 이미 답변되었을 수도 있다)을 할수있는 도움이
+될만한 메일링 리스트가 있다. 또한 실시간으로 질문 할수 있는 IRC 채널도
+가지고 있으며 리눅스 커널 개발을 배우는 데 유용한 문서들을 보유하고 있다.
+
+웹사이트는 코드구성, 서브시스템들, 그리고 현재 프로젝트들
+(트리 내, 외부에 존재하는)에 관한 기본적인 정보들을 가지고 있다. 또한
+그곳은 커널 컴파일이나 패치를 하는 법과 같은 기본적인 것들을  설명한다.
+
+여러분이 어디서 시작해야 할진 모르지만 커널 개발 커뮤니티에 참여할 수
+있는 일들을 찾길 원한다면 리눅스 커널 Janitor 프로젝트를 살펴봐라.
+         http://janitor.kernelnewbies.org/
+그곳은 시작하기에 아주 딱 좋은 곳이다. 그곳은 리눅스 커널 소스 트리내에
+간단히 정리되고 수정될 수 있는 문제들에 관하여 설명한다. 여러분은 이
+프로젝트를 대표하는 개발자들과 일하면서 자신의 패치를 리눅스 커널 트리에
+반영하기 위한 기본적인 것들을 배우게 될것이며 여러분이 아직 아이디어를
+가지고 있지 않다면 다음에 무엇을 해야할지에 관한 방향을 배울 수 있을
+것이다.
+
+여러분들이 이미 커널 트리에 반영하길 원하는 코드 묶음을 가지고 있지만
+올바른 포맷으로 포장하는데 도움이 필요하다면 그러한 문제를 돕기 위해
+만들어진 kernel-mentors 프로젝트가 있다. 그곳은 메일링 리스트이며
+다음에서 참조할 수 있다.
+         http://selenic.com/mailman/listinfo/kernel-mentors
+
+리눅스 커널 코드에 실제 변경을 하기 전에 반드시 그 코드가 어떻게
+동작하는지 이해하고 있어야 한다. 코드를 분석하기 위하여 특정한 툴의
+도움을 빌려서라도 코드를 직접 읽는 것보다 좋은 것은 없다(대부분의
+자잘한 부분들은 잘 코멘트되어 있다). 그런 툴들 중에 특히 추천할만한
+것은 Linux Cross-Reference project이며 그것은 자기 참조 방식이며
+소스코드를 인덱스된 웹 페이지들의 형태로 보여준다. 최신의 멋진 커널
+코드 저장소는 다음을 통하여 참조할 수 있다.

+
+
+개발 프로세스
+-------------
+
+리눅스 커널 개발 프로세스는 현재 몇몇 다른 메인 커널 "브랜치들"과
+서브시스템에 특화된 커널 브랜치들로 구성된다. 몇몇 다른 메인
+브랜치들은 다음과 같다.
+  - main 2.6.x 커널 트리
+  - 2.6.x.y - 안정된 커널 트리
+  - 2.6.x -git 커널 패치들
+  - 2.6.x -mm 커널 패치들
+  - 서브시스템을 위한 커널 트리들과 패치들
+
+2.6.x 커널 트리
+---------------
+
+2.6.x 커널들은 Linux Torvalds가 관리하며 kernel.org의 pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/
+디렉토리에서 참조될 수 있다.개발 프로세스는 다음과 같다.
+  - 새로운 커널이 배포되자마자 2주의 시간이 주어진다. 이 기간동은
+    메인트너들은 큰 diff들을 Linus에게 제출할 수 있다. 대개 이 패치들은
+    몇 주 동안 -mm 커널내에 이미 있었던 것들이다. 큰 변경들을 제출하는 데
+    선호되는 방법은  git(커널의 소스 관리 툴, 더 많은 정보들은 http://git.or.cz/
+    에서 참조할 수 있다)를 사용하는 것이지만 순수한 패치파일의 형식으로 보내도
+    것도 무관하다.
+  - 2주 후에 -rc1 커널이 배포되며 지금부터는 전체 커널의 안정성에 영향을
+    미칠수 있는 새로운 기능들을 포함하지 않는 패치들만을 추가될 수 있다.
+    완전히 새로운 드라이버(혹은 파일시스템)는 -rc1 이후에만 받아들여진다는
+    것을 기억해라. 왜냐하면 변경이 자체내에서만 발생하고 추가된 코드가
+    드라이버 외부의 다른 부분에는 영향을 주지 않으므로 그런 변경은
+    퇴보(regression)를 일으킬 만한 위험을 가지고 있지 않기 때문이다. -rc1이
+    배포된 이후에 git를 사용하여 패치들을 Linus에게 보낼수 있지만 패치들은
+    공식적인 메일링 리스트로 보내서 검토를 받을 필요가 있다.
+  - 새로운 -rc는 Linus는 현재 git tree가 테스트 하기에 충분히 안정된 상태에
+    있다고 판단될 때마다 배포된다. 목표는 새로운 -rc 커널을 매주 배포하는
+    것이다.
+  - 이러한 프로세스는 커널이 "준비"되었다고 여겨질때까지 계속된다.
+    프로세스는 대체로 6주간 지속된다.
+    - 각 -rc 배포에 있는 알려진 퇴보의 목록들은 다음 URI에 남겨진다.
+    http://kernelnewbies.org/known_regressions
+
+커널 배포에 있어서 언급할만한 가치가 있는 리눅스 커널 메일링 리스트의
+Andrew Morton의 글이 있다.
+        "커널이 언제 배포될지는 아무로 모른다. 왜냐하면 배포는 알려진
+         버그의 상황에 따라 배포되는 것이지 미리정해 놓은 시간에 따라
+          배포되는 것은 아니기 때문이다."
+
+2.6.x.y - 안정 커널 트리
+------------------------
+
+4 자리 숫자로 이루어진 버젼의 커널들은 -stable 커널들이다. 그것들은 2.6.x
+커널에서 발견된 큰 퇴보들이나 보안 문제들 중 비교적 작고 중요한 수정들을
+포함한다.
+
+이것은 가장 최근의 안정적인 커널을 원하는 사용자에게 추천되는 브랜치이며,
+개발/실험적 버젼을 테스트하는 것을 돕는데는 별로 관심이 없다.
+
+어떤 2.6.x.y 커널도 사용가능하지 않다면 그때는 가장 높은 숫자의 2.6.x
+커널이 현재의 안정 커널이다.
+
+2.6.x.y는 "stable" 팀<stable@kernel.org>에 의해 관리되며 거의 매번 격주로
+배포된다.
+
+커널 트리 문서들 내에 Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt 파일은 어떤
+종류의 변경들이 -stable 트리로 들어왔는지와 배포 프로세스가 어떻게
+진행되는지를 설명한다.
+
+
+2.6.x -git 패치들
+------------------
+git 저장소(그러므로 -git이라는 이름이 붙음)에는 날마다 관리되는 Linus의
+커널 트리의 snapshot 들이 있다. 이 패치들은 일반적으로 날마다 배포되며
+Linus의 트리의 현재 상태를 나타낸다. 이 패치들은 정상적인지 조금도
+살펴보지 않고 자동적으로 생성된 것이므로 -rc 커널들 보다도 더 실험적이다.
+
+2.6.x -mm 커널 패치들
+---------------------
+Andrew Morton에 의해 배포된 실험적인 커널 패치들이다. Andrew는 모든 다른
+서브시스템 커널 트리와 패치들을 가져와서 리눅스 커널 메일링 리스트로
+온 많은 패치들과 한데 묶는다. 이 트리는 새로운 기능들과 패치들을 위한
+장소를 제공하는 역할을 한다. 하나의 패치가 -mm에 한동안 있으면서 그 가치가
+증명되게 되면 Andrew나 서브시스템 메인트너는 그것을 메인라인에 포함시키기
+위하여 Linus에게 보낸다.
+
+커널 트리에 포함하고 싶은 모든 새로운 패치들은 Linus에게 보내지기 전에
+-mm 트리에서 테스트를 하는 것을 적극 추천한다.
+
+이 커널들은 안정되게 사용할 시스템에서에 실행하는 것은 적합하지 않으며
+다른 브랜치들의 어떤 것들보다 위험하다.
+
+여러분이 커널 개발 프로세스를 돕길 원한다면 이 커널 배포들을 사용하고
+테스트한 후 어떤 문제를 발견하거나 또는 모든 것이 잘 동작한다면 리눅스
+커널 메일링 리스트로 피드백을 해달라.
+
+이 커널들은 일반적으로 모든 다른 실험적인 패치들과 배포될 당시의
+사용가능한 메인라인 -git 커널들의 몇몇 변경을 포함한다.
+
+-mm 커널들은 정해진 일정대로 배포되지 않는다. 하지만 대개 몇몇 -mm 커널들은
+각 -rc 커널(1부터 3이 흔함) 사이에서 배포된다.
+
+서브시스템 커널 트리들과 패치들
+-------------------------------
+많은 다른 커널 서브시스템 개발자들은 커널의 다른 부분들에서 무슨 일이
+일어나고 있는지를 볼수 있도록 그들의 개발 트리를 공개한다. 이 트리들은
+위에서 설명하였던 것 처럼 -mm 커널 배포들로 합쳐진다.
+
+다음은  활용가능한 커널 트리들을 나열한다.

+  다른 커널 트리들은 http://kernel.org/git와 MAINTAINERS 파일에서 참조할 수
+  있다.
+
+버그 보고
+---------
+bugzilla.kernel.org는 리눅스 커널 개발자들이 커널의 버그를 추적하는 곳이다.
+사용자들은 발견한 모든 버그들을 보고하기 위하여 이 툴을 사용할 것을 권장한다.
+kernel bugzilla를 사용하는 자세한 방법은 다음을 참조하라.
+    http://test.kernel.org/bugzilla/faq.html
+
+메인 커널 소스 디렉토리에 있는 REPORTING-BUGS 파일은 커널 버그일 것 같은
+것을 보고하는는 법에 관한 좋은 템플릿이고 문제를 추적하기 위해서 커널
+개발자들이 필요로 하는 정보가 무엇들인지를 상세히 설명하고 있다.
+
+
+버그 리포트들의 관리
+--------------------
+
+여러분의 해킹 기술을 연습하는 가장 좋은 방법 중의 하는 다른 사람들이
+보고한 버그들을 수정하는 것이다. 여러분은 커널을 더욱 안정화시키는데
+도움을 줄 뿐만이 아니라 실제있는 문제들을 수정하는 법을 배우게 되고
+그와 함께 여러분들의 기술은 향상될 것이며 다른 개발자들이 여러분의
+존재에 대해 알게 될 것이다. 버그를 수정하는 것은 개발자들  사이에서
+점수를 얻을 수 있는 가장 좋은 방법중의 하나이다. 왜냐하면 많은 사람들은
+다른 사람들의 버그들을 수정하기 위하여 시간을 낭비하지 않기 때문이다.
+
+이미 보고된 버그 리포트들을 가지고 작업하기 위해서 http://bugzilla.kernelorg를
+참조하라. 여러분이 앞으로 생겨날 버그 리포트들의 조언자가 되길 원한다면
+bugme-new 메일링 리스트나(새로운 버그 리포트들만이 이곳에서 메일로 전해진다)
+bugme-janitor 메일링 리스트(bugzilla에 모든 변화들이 여기서 메일로 전해진다)
+에 등록하면 된다.
+
+      http://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/bugme-new
+      http://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/bugme-janitors
+
+
+
+메일링 리스트들
+---------------
+
+위의 몇몇 문서들이 설명하였지만 핵심 커널 개발자들의 대다수는
+리눅스 커널 메일링 리스트에 참여하고 있다. 리스트에 등록하고 해지하는
+방법에 관한 자세한 사항은 다음에서 참조할 수 있다.
+    http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-kernel
+웹상의 많은 다른 곳에도 메일링 리스트의 아카이브들이 있다.
+이러한 아카이브들을 찾으려면 검색 엔진을 사용하라. 예를 들어:
+      http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel
+여러분이 새로운 문제에 관해 리스트에 올리기 전에 말하고 싶은 주제에 대한
+것을 아카이브에서 먼저 찾기를 강력히 권장한다. 이미 상세하게 토론된 많은
+것들이 메일링 리스트의 아카이브에 기록되어 있다.
+
+각각의 커널 서브시스템들의 대부분은 자신들의 개발에 관한 노력들로 이루어진
+분리된 메일링 리스트를 따로 가지고 있다. 다른 그룹들이 무슨 리스트를 가지고
+있는지는 MAINTAINERS 파일을 참조하라.
+
+많은 리스트들은 kernel.org에서 호스트되고 있다. 그 정보들은 다음에서 참조될 수 있다.
+         http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html
+
+리스트들을 사용할 때는 올바른 예절을 따를 것을 유념해라.
+대단하진 않지만 다음 URL은 리스트(혹은 모든 리스트)와 대화하는 몇몇 간단한
+가이드라인을 가지고 있다.
+         http://www.albion.com/netiquette/
+
+여러 사람들이 여러분의 메일에 응답한다면 CC: 즉 수신 리스트는 꽤 커지게
+될 것이다. 아무 이유없이 CC에서 어떤 사람도 제거하거나 리스트 주소로만
+회신하지 마라. 메일을 보낸 사람으로서 하나를 받고 리스트로부터 또
+하나를 받아 두번 받는 것에 익숙하여 있으니 mail-header를 조작하려고 하지
+말아라. 사람들은 그런 것을 좋아하지 않을 것이다.
+
+여러분의 회신의 문맥을 원래대로 유지해야 한다. 여러분들의 회신의 윗부분에
+"John 커널해커는 작성했다...."를 유지하며 여러분들의 의견을 그 메일의 윗부분에
+작성하지 말고 각 인용한 단락들 사이에 넣어라.
+
+여러분들이 패치들을 메일에 넣는다면 그것들은 Documentation/SubmittingPatches에
+나와있는데로 명백히(plain) 읽을 수 있는 텍스트여야 한다. 커널 개발자들은
+첨부파일이나 압축된 패치들을 원하지 않는다. 그들은 여러분들의 패치의
+각 라인 단위로 코멘트를 하길 원하며 압축하거나 첨부하지 않고 보내는 것이
+그렇게 할 수 있는 유일한 방법이다. 여러분들이 사용하는 메일 프로그램이
+스페이스나 탭 문자들을 조작하지 않는지 확인하라. 가장 좋은 첫 테스트는
+메일을 자신에게 보내보고 스스로 그 패치를 적용해보라. 그것이 동작하지
+않는다면 여러분의 메일 프로그램을 고치던가 제대로 동작하는 프로그램으로
+바꾸어라.
+
+무엇보다도 메일링 리스트의 다른 구독자들에게 보여주려 한다는 것을 기억하라.
+
+
+커뮤니티와 일하는 법
+--------------------
+
+커널 커뮤니티의 목적은 가능한한 가장 좋은 커널을 제공하는 것이다. 여러분이
+받아들여질 패치를 제출하게 되면 그 패치의 기술적인 이점으로 검토될 것이다.
+그럼 여러분들은 무엇을 기대하고 있어야 하는가?
+ - 비판
+ - 의견
+ - 변경을 위한 요구
+ - 당위성을 위한 요구
+ - 고요
+
+기억하라. 이것들은 여러분의 패치가 커널로 들어가기 위한 과정이다. 여러분의
+패치들은 비판과 다른 의견을 받을 수 있고 그것들을 기술적인 레벨로 평가하고
+재작업하거나 또는 왜 수정하면 안되는지에 관하여 명료하고 간결한 이유를
+말할 수 있어야 한다. 여러분이 제출한 것에 어떤 응답도 있지 않다면 몇 일을
+기다려보고 다시 시도해라. 때론 너무 많은 메일들 속에 묻혀버리기도 한다.
+
+여러분은 무엇을 해서는 안되는가?
+ - 여러분의 패치가 아무 질문 없이 받아들여지기를 기대하는 것
+ - 방어적이 되는 것
+ - 의견을 무시하는 것
+ - 요청된 변경을 하지 않고 패치를 다시 제출하는 것
+
+가능한한 가장 좋은 기술적인 해답을 찾고 있는 커뮤니티에서는 항상
+어떤 패치가 얼마나 좋은지에 관하여 다른 의견들이 있을 수 있다. 여러분은
+협조적이어야 하고 기꺼이 여러분의 생각을 커널 내에 맞추어야 한다. 아니면
+적어도 여러분의 것이 가치있다는 것을 중명하여야 한다. 잘못된 것도 여러분이
+올바른 방향의 해결책으로 이끌어갈 의지가 있다면 받아들여질 것이라는 점을
+기억하라.
+
+여러분의 첫 패치에  여러분이 수정해야하는 십여개 정도의 회신이 오는
+경우도 흔하다. 이것은 여러분의 패치가 받아들여지지 않을 것이라는 것을
+의미하는 것이 아니고 개인적으로 여러분에게 감정이 있어서 그러는 것도
+아니다. 간단히 여러분의 패치에 제기된 문제들을 수정하고 그것을 다시
+보내라.
+
+
+커널 커뮤니티와 기업 조직간의 차이점
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+커널 커뮤니티는 가장 전통적인 회사의 개발 환경과는 다르다. 여기에 여러분들의
+문제를 피하기 위한 목록이 있다.
+  여러분들이 제안한 변경들에 관하여 말할 때 좋은 것들 :
+    - " 이것은 여러 문제들을 해겹합니다."
+    - "이것은 2000 라인의 코드를 제거합니다."
+    - "이것은 내가 말하려는 것에 관해 설명하는 패치입니다."
+    - "나는 5개의 다른 아키텍쳐에서 그것을 테스트했슴으로..."
+    - "여기에 일련의 작은 패치들이 있습음로..."
+    - "이것은 일반적인 머신에서 성능을 향상시키므로..."
+
+  여러분들이 말할 때 피해야 할 좋지 않은 것들 :
+    - "우리를 그것을 AIT/ptx/Solaris에서 이러한 방법으로 했다. 그러므로 그것은 좋은 것임에 틀립없다..."
+    - "나는 20년동안 이것을 해왔다. 그러므로..."
+    - "이것은 돈을 벌기위해 나의 회사가 필요로 하는 것이다."
+    - "이것은 우리의 엔터프라이즈 상품 라인을 위한 것이다."
+    - "여기에 나의 생각을 말하고 있는 1000 페이지 설계 문서가 있다."
+    - "나는 6달동안 이것을 했으니..."
+    - "여기세 5000라인 짜리 패치가 있으니..."
+    - "나는 현재 뒤죽박죽인 것을 재작성했다. 그리고 여기에..."
+    - "나는 마감시한을 가지고 있으므로 이 패치는 지금 적용될 필요가 있다."
+
+커널 커뮤니티가 전통적인 소프트웨어 엔지니어링 개발 환경들과
+또 다른 점은 얼굴을 보지 않고 일한다는 점이다. 이메일과 irc를 대화의
+주요수단으로 사용하는 것의 한가지 장점은 성별이나 인종의 차별이
+없다는 것이다. 리눅스 커널의 작업 환경에서는 단지 이메일 주소만
+알수 있기 때문에 여성과 소수 민족들도 모두 받아들여진다. 국제적으로
+일하게 되는 측면은 사람의 이름에 근거하여 성별을 추측할 수 없게
+하기때문에  차별을 없애는 데 도움을 준다. Andrea라는 이름을 가진 남자와
+Pat이라는 이름을 가진 여자가 있을 수도 있는 것이다. 리눅스 커널에서
+작업하며 생각을 표현해왔던 대부분의 여성들은 긍정적인 경험을 가지고
+있다.
+
+언어 장벽은 영어에 익숙하지 않은 몇몇 사람들에게 문제가 될 수도 있다.
+ 언어의 훌륭한 구사는 메일링 리스트에서 올바르게 자신의 생각을
+표현하기 위하여 필요하다. 그래서 여러분은 이메일을 보내기 전에
+영어를 올바르게 사용하고 있는지를 체크하는 것이 바람직하다.
+
+
+여러분의 변경을 나누어라
+------------------------
+
+리눅스 커널 커뮤니티는 한꺼번에 굉장히 큰 코드의 묶음을 쉽게
+받아들이지 않는다. 변경은 적절하게 소개되고, 검토되고, 각각의
+부분으로 작게 나누어져야 한다. 이것은 회사에서 하는 것과는 정확히
+반대되는 것이다. 여러분들의 제안은 개발 초기에 일찍이 소개되야 한다.
+그래서 여러분들은 자신이 하고 있는 것에 관하여 피드백을 받을 수 있게
+된다. 커뮤니티가 여러분들이 커뮤니티와 함께 일하고 있다는 것을
+느끼도록 만들고 커뮤니티가 여러분의 기능을 위한 쓰레기 장으로서
+사용되지 않고 있다는 것을 느끼게 하자. 그러나 메일링 리스트에 한번에
+50개의 이메일을 보내지는 말아라. 여러분들의 일련의 패치들은 항상
+더 작아야 한다.
+
+패치를 나누는 이유는 다음과 같다.
+
+1) 작은 패치들은 여러분의 패치들이 적용될 수 있는 확률을 높여준다.
+   왜냐하면 다른 사람들은 정확성을 검증하기 위하여 많은 시간과 노력을
+   들이기를 원하지 않는다. 5줄의 패치는 메인트너가 거의 몇 초간 힐끗
+   보면 적용될 수 있다. 그러나 500 줄의 패치는 정확성을 검토하기 위하여
+   몇시간이 걸릴 수도 있다(걸리는 시간은 패치의 크기 혹은 다른 것에
+   비례하여 기하급수적으로 늘어난다).
+
+   패치를 작게 만드는 것은 무엇인가 잘못되었을 때 디버그하는 것을
+   쉽게 만든다. 즉, 그렇게 만드는 것은 매우 큰 패치를 적용한 후에
+   조사하는 것 보다 작은 패치를 적용한 후에 (그리고 몇몇의 것이
+   깨졌을 때) 하나씩 패치들을 제거해가며 디버그 하기 쉽도록 만들어 준다.
+
+2) 작은 패치들을 보내는 것뿐만 아니라 패치들을 제출하기전에 재작성하고
+   간단하게(혹은 간단한게 재배치하여) 하는 것도 중요하다.
+
+여기에 커널 개발자 Al Viro의 이야기가 있다.
+    "학생의 수학 숙제를 채점하는 선생님을 생각해보라. 선생님은 학생들이
+    답을 얻을때까지 겪은 시행착오를 보길 원하지 않는다. 선생님들은
+    간결하고 가장 뛰어난 답을 보길 원한다. 훌륭한 학생은 이것을 알고
+    마지막으로 답을 얻기 전 중간 과정들을 제출하진 않는다.
+
+    커널 개발도 마찬가지이다. 메인트너들과 검토하는 사람들은 문제를
+    풀어나가는 과정속에 숨겨진 과정을 보길 원하진 않는다. 그들은
+    간결하고 멋진 답을 보길 원한다."
+
+커뮤니티와 함께 일하며 뛰어난 답을 찾고 여러분들의 완성되지 않은 일들
+사이에 균형을 유지해야 하는 어려움이 있을 수 있다. 그러므로 프로세스의
+초반에 여러분의 일을 향상시키기위한 피드백을 얻는 것 뿐만 아니라
+여러분들의 변경들을 작은 묶음으로 유지해서 심지어는 여러분의 작업의
+모든 부분이 지금은 포함될 준비가 되어있지 않지만 작은 부분은 이미
+받아들여질 수 있도록 유지하는 것이 바람직하다.
+
+또한 완성되지 않았고 "나중에 수정될 것이다." 와 같은 것들은 포함하는
+패치들은 받아들여지지 않을 것이라는 점을 유념하라.
+
+변경을 정당화해라
+-----------------
+
+여러분들의 나누어진 패치들을 리눅스 커뮤니티가 왜 반영해야 하는지를
+알도록 하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 새로운 기능들이 필요하고 유용하다는
+것은 반드시 그에 맞는 이유가 있어야 한다.
+
+
+변경을 문서화해라
+-----------------
+

+LOCK STATISTICS
+
+- WHAT
+
+As the name suggests, it provides statistics on locks.
+
+- WHY
+
+Because things like lock contention can severely impact performance.
+
+- HOW
+
+Lockdep already has hooks in the lock functions and maps lock instances to
+lock classes. We build on that. The graph below shows the relation between
+the lock functions and the various hooks therein.
+
+        __acquire
+            |
+           lock _____
+            |        \
+            |    __contended
+            |         |
+            |       <wait>
+            | _______/
+            |/
+            |
+       __acquired
+            |
+            .
+          <hold>
+            .
+            |
+       __release
+            |
+         unlock
+
+lock, unlock	- the regular lock functions
+__*		- the hooks
+<> 		- states
+
+With these hooks we provide the following statistics:
+
+ con-bounces       - number of lock contention that involved x-cpu data
+ contentions       - number of lock acquisitions that had to wait
+ wait time min     - shortest (non-0) time we ever had to wait for a lock
+           max     - longest time we ever had to wait for a lock
+           total   - total time we spend waiting on this lock
+ acq-bounces       - number of lock acquisitions that involved x-cpu data
+ acquisitions      - number of times we took the lock
+ hold time min     - shortest (non-0) time we ever held the lock
+           max     - longest time we ever held the lock
+           total   - total time this lock was held
+
+From these number various other statistics can be derived, such as:
+
+ hold time average = hold time total / acquisitions
+
+These numbers are gathered per lock class, per read/write state (when
+applicable).
+
+It also tracks 4 contention points per class. A contention point is a call site
+that had to wait on lock acquisition.

+statistics. These statistics come in two parts; the actual stats separated by a
+short separator (line 08, 14) from the contention points.
+
+The first lock (05-10) is a read/write lock, and shows two lines above the
+short separator. The contention points don't match the column descriptors,

+===========================================================================
+
+
+1  Overview
+===========
+
+The sk98lin driver supports the Marvell Yukon and SysKonnect 
+SK-98xx/SK-95xx compliant Gigabit Ethernet Adapter on Linux. It has 
+been tested with Linux on Intel/x86 machines.
+***
+
+
+2  Required Files
+=================
+
+The linux kernel source.
+No additional files required.
+***
+
+
+3  Installation
+===============
+
+It is recommended to download the latest version of the driver from the 
+SysKonnect web site www.syskonnect.com. If you have downloaded the latest
+driver, the Linux kernel has to be patched before the driver can be 
+installed. For details on how to patch a Linux kernel, refer to the 
+patch.txt file.
+
+3.1  Driver Installation
+------------------------
+
+The following steps describe the actions that are required to install
+the driver and to start it manually. These steps should be carried
+out for the initial driver setup. Once confirmed to be ok, they can
+be included in the system start.
+
+NOTE 1: To perform the following tasks you need 'root' access.
+
+NOTE 2: In case of problems, please read the section "Troubleshooting" 
+        below.
+
+The driver can either be integrated into the kernel or it can be compiled 
+as a module. Select the appropriate option during the kernel 
+configuration.
+
+Compile/use the driver as a module
+----------------------------------
+To compile the driver, go to the directory /usr/src/linux and
+execute the command "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig" and proceed as 
+follows:
+
+To integrate the driver permanently into the kernel, proceed as follows:
+
+1. Select the menu "Network device support" and then "Ethernet(1000Mbit)"
+2. Mark "Marvell Yukon Chipset / SysKonnect SK-98xx family support" 
+   with (*) 
+3. Build a new kernel when the configuration of the above options is 
+   finished.
+4. Install the new kernel.
+5. Reboot your system.
+
+To use the driver as a module, proceed as follows:
+
+1. Enable 'loadable module support' in the kernel.
+2. For automatic driver start, enable the 'Kernel module loader'.
+3. Select the menu "Network device support" and then "Ethernet(1000Mbit)"
+4. Mark "Marvell Yukon Chipset / SysKonnect SK-98xx family support" 
+   with (M)
+5. Execute the command "make modules".
+6. Execute the command "make modules_install".
+   The appropriate modules will be installed.
+7. Reboot your system.
+
+
+Load the module manually
+------------------------
+To load the module manually, proceed as follows:
+
+1. Enter "modprobe sk98lin".
+2. If a Marvell Yukon or SysKonnect SK-98xx adapter is installed in 
+   your computer and you have a /proc file system, execute the command:
+   "ls /proc/net/sk98lin/" 
+   This should produce an output containing a line with the following 
+   format:
+   eth0   eth1  ...
+   which indicates that your adapter has been found and initialized.
+   
+   NOTE 1: If you have more than one Marvell Yukon or SysKonnect SK-98xx 
+           adapter installed, the adapters will be listed as 'eth0', 
+                   'eth1', 'eth2', etc.
+                   For each adapter, repeat steps 3 and 4 below.
+
+   NOTE 2: If you have other Ethernet adapters installed, your Marvell
+           Yukon or SysKonnect SK-98xx adapter will be mapped to the 
+                   next available number, e.g. 'eth1'. The mapping is executed 
+                   automatically.
+           The module installation message (displayed either in a system
+           log file or on the console) prints a line for each adapter 
+           found containing the corresponding 'ethX'.
+
+3. Select an IP address and assign it to the respective adapter by 
+   entering:
+   ifconfig eth0 <ip-address>
+   With this command, the adapter is connected to the Ethernet. 
+   
+   SK-98xx Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapters: The yellow LED on the adapter 
+   is now active, the link status LED of the primary port is active and 
+   the link status LED of the secondary port (on dual port adapters) is 
+   blinking (if the ports are connected to a switch or hub).
+   SK-98xx V2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapters: The link status LED is active.
+   In addition, you will receive a status message on the console stating
+   "ethX: network connection up using port Y" and showing the selected 
+   connection parameters (x stands for the ethernet device number 
+   (0,1,2, etc), y stands for the port name (A or B)).
+
+   NOTE: If you are in doubt about IP addresses, ask your network
+         administrator for assistance.
+  
+4. Your adapter should now be fully operational.
+   Use 'ping <otherstation>' to verify the connection to other computers 
+   on your network.
+5. To check the adapter configuration view /proc/net/sk98lin/[devicename].
+   For example by executing:    
+   "cat /proc/net/sk98lin/eth0" 
+
+Unload the module
+-----------------
+To stop and unload the driver modules, proceed as follows:
+
+1. Execute the command "ifconfig eth0 down".
+2. Execute the command "rmmod sk98lin".
+
+3.2  Inclusion of adapter at system start
+-----------------------------------------
+
+Since a large number of different Linux distributions are 
+available, we are unable to describe a general installation procedure
+for the driver module.
+Because the driver is now integrated in the kernel, installation should
+be easy, using the standard mechanism of your distribution.
+Refer to the distribution's manual for installation of ethernet adapters.
+
+***
+
+4  Driver Parameters
+====================
+
+Parameters can be set at the command line after the module has been 
+loaded with the command 'modprobe'.
+In some distributions, the configuration tools are able to pass parameters
+to the driver module.
+
+If you use the kernel module loader, you can set driver parameters
+in the file /etc/modprobe.conf (or /etc/modules.conf in 2.4 or earlier).
+To set the driver parameters in this file, proceed as follows:
+
+1. Insert a line of the form :
+   options sk98lin ...
+   For "...", the same syntax is required as described for the command
+   line parameters of modprobe below.
+2. To activate the new parameters, either reboot your computer
+   or 
+   unload and reload the driver.
+   The syntax of the driver parameters is:
+
+        modprobe sk98lin parameter=value1[,value2[,value3...]]
+
+   where value1 refers to the first adapter, value2 to the second etc.
+
+NOTE: All parameters are case sensitive. Write them exactly as shown 
+      below.
+
+Example:
+Suppose you have two adapters. You want to set auto-negotiation
+on the first adapter to ON and on the second adapter to OFF.
+You also want to set DuplexCapabilities on the first adapter
+to FULL, and on the second adapter to HALF.
+Then, you must enter:
+
+        modprobe sk98lin AutoNeg_A=On,Off DupCap_A=Full,Half
+
+NOTE: The number of adapters that can be configured this way is
+      limited in the driver (file skge.c, constant SK_MAX_CARD_PARAM).
+      The current limit is 16. If you happen to install
+      more adapters, adjust this and recompile.
+
+
+4.1  Per-Port Parameters
+------------------------
+
+These settings are available for each port on the adapter.
+In the following description, '?' stands for the port for
+which you set the parameter (A or B).
+
+Speed
+-----
+Parameter:    Speed_?
+Values:       10, 100, 1000, Auto
+Default:      Auto
+
+This parameter is used to set the speed capabilities. It is only valid 
+for the SK-98xx V2.0 copper adapters.
+Usually, the speed is negotiated between the two ports during link 
+establishment. If this fails, a port can be forced to a specific setting
+with this parameter.
+
+Auto-Negotiation
+----------------
+Parameter:    AutoNeg_?
+Values:       On, Off, Sense
+Default:      On
+  
+The "Sense"-mode automatically detects whether the link partner supports
+auto-negotiation or not.
+
+Duplex Capabilities
+-------------------
+Parameter:    DupCap_?
+Values:       Half, Full, Both
+Default:      Both
+
+This parameters is only relevant if auto-negotiation for this port is 
+not set to "Sense". If auto-negotiation is set to "On", all three values
+are possible. If it is set to "Off", only "Full" and "Half" are allowed.
+This parameter is useful if your link partner does not support all
+possible combinations.
+
+Flow Control
+------------
+Parameter:    FlowCtrl_?
+Values:       Sym, SymOrRem, LocSend, None
+Default:      SymOrRem
+
+This parameter can be used to set the flow control capabilities the 
+port reports during auto-negotiation. It can be set for each port 
+individually.
+Possible modes:
+   -- Sym      = Symmetric: both link partners are allowed to send 
+                  PAUSE frames
+   -- SymOrRem = SymmetricOrRemote: both or only remote partner 
+                  are allowed to send PAUSE frames
+   -- LocSend  = LocalSend: only local link partner is allowed 
+                  to send PAUSE frames
+   -- None     = no link partner is allowed to send PAUSE frames
+  
+NOTE: This parameter is ignored if auto-negotiation is set to "Off".
+
+Role in Master-Slave-Negotiation (1000Base-T only)
+--------------------------------------------------
+Parameter:    Role_?
+Values:       Auto, Master, Slave
+Default:      Auto
+
+This parameter is only valid for the SK-9821 and SK-9822 adapters.
+For two 1000Base-T ports to communicate, one must take the role of the
+master (providing timing information), while the other must be the 
+slave. Usually, this is negotiated between the two ports during link 
+establishment. If this fails, a port can be forced to a specific setting
+with this parameter.
+
+
+4.2  Adapter Parameters
+-----------------------
+
+Connection Type (SK-98xx V2.0 copper adapters only)
+---------------
+Parameter:    ConType
+Values:       Auto, 100FD, 100HD, 10FD, 10HD
+Default:      Auto
+
+The parameter 'ConType' is a combination of all five per-port parameters
+within one single parameter. This simplifies the configuration of both ports
+of an adapter card! The different values of this variable reflect the most 
+meaningful combinations of port parameters.
+
+The following table shows the values of 'ConType' and the corresponding
+combinations of the per-port parameters:
+
+    ConType   |  DupCap   AutoNeg   FlowCtrl   Role             Speed
+    ----------+------------------------------------------------------
+    Auto      |  Both     On        SymOrRem   Auto             Auto
+    100FD     |  Full     Off       None       Auto (ignored)   100
+    100HD     |  Half     Off       None       Auto (ignored)   100
+    10FD      |  Full     Off       None       Auto (ignored)   10
+    10HD      |  Half     Off       None       Auto (ignored)   10
+
+Stating any other port parameter together with this 'ConType' variable
+will result in a merged configuration of those settings. This due to 
+the fact, that the per-port parameters (e.g. Speed_? ) have a higher
+priority than the combined variable 'ConType'.
+
+NOTE: This parameter is always used on both ports of the adapter card.
+
+Interrupt Moderation
+--------------------
+Parameter:    Moderation
+Values:       None, Static, Dynamic
+Default:      None
+
+Interrupt moderation is employed to limit the maximum number of interrupts
+the driver has to serve. That is, one or more interrupts (which indicate any
+transmit or receive packet to be processed) are queued until the driver 
+processes them. When queued interrupts are to be served, is determined by the
+'IntsPerSec' parameter, which is explained later below.
+
+Possible modes:
+
+   -- None - No interrupt moderation is applied on the adapter card. 
+      Therefore, each transmit or receive interrupt is served immediately
+      as soon as it appears on the interrupt line of the adapter card.
+
+   -- Static - Interrupt moderation is applied on the adapter card. 
+      All transmit and receive interrupts are queued until a complete
+      moderation interval ends. If such a moderation interval ends, all
+      queued interrupts are processed in one big bunch without any delay.
+      The term 'static' reflects the fact, that interrupt moderation is
+      always enabled, regardless how much network load is currently 
+      passing via a particular interface. In addition, the duration of
+      the moderation interval has a fixed length that never changes while
+      the driver is operational.
+
+   -- Dynamic - Interrupt moderation might be applied on the adapter card,
+      depending on the load of the system. If the driver detects that the
+      system load is too high, the driver tries to shield the system against 
+      too much network load by enabling interrupt moderation. If - at a later
+      time - the CPU utilization decreases again (or if the network load is 
+      negligible) the interrupt moderation will automatically be disabled.
+
+Interrupt moderation should be used when the driver has to handle one or more
+interfaces with a high network load, which - as a consequence - leads also to a
+high CPU utilization. When moderation is applied in such high network load 
+situations, CPU load might be reduced by 20-30%.
+
+NOTE: The drawback of using interrupt moderation is an increase of the round-
+trip-time (RTT), due to the queueing and serving of interrupts at dedicated
+moderation times.
+
+Interrupts per second
+---------------------
+Parameter:    IntsPerSec
+Values:       30...40000 (interrupts per second)
+Default:      2000
+
+This parameter is only used if either static or dynamic interrupt moderation
+is used on a network adapter card. Using this parameter if no moderation is
+applied will lead to no action performed.
+
+This parameter determines the length of any interrupt moderation interval. 
+Assuming that static interrupt moderation is to be used, an 'IntsPerSec' 
+parameter value of 2000 will lead to an interrupt moderation interval of
+500 microseconds. 
+
+NOTE: The duration of the moderation interval is to be chosen with care.
+At first glance, selecting a very long duration (e.g. only 100 interrupts per 
+second) seems to be meaningful, but the increase of packet-processing delay 
+is tremendous. On the other hand, selecting a very short moderation time might
+compensate the use of any moderation being applied.
+
+
+Preferred Port
+--------------
+Parameter:    PrefPort
+Values:       A, B
+Default:      A
+
+This is used to force the preferred port to A or B (on dual-port network 
+adapters). The preferred port is the one that is used if both are detected
+as fully functional.
+
+RLMT Mode (Redundant Link Management Technology)
+------------------------------------------------
+Parameter:    RlmtMode
+Values:       CheckLinkState,CheckLocalPort, CheckSeg, DualNet
+Default:      CheckLinkState
+
+RLMT monitors the status of the port. If the link of the active port 
+fails, RLMT switches immediately to the standby link. The virtual link is 
+maintained as long as at least one 'physical' link is up. 
+
+Possible modes:
+
+   -- CheckLinkState - Check link state only: RLMT uses the link state
+      reported by the adapter hardware for each individual port to 
+      determine whether a port can be used for all network traffic or 
+      not.
+
+   -- CheckLocalPort - In this mode, RLMT monitors the network path 
+      between the two ports of an adapter by regularly exchanging packets
+      between them. This mode requires a network configuration in which 
+      the two ports are able to "see" each other (i.e. there must not be 
+      any router between the ports).
+
+   -- CheckSeg - Check local port and segmentation: This mode supports the
+      same functions as the CheckLocalPort mode and additionally checks 
+      network segmentation between the ports. Therefore, this mode is only
+      to be used if Gigabit Ethernet switches are installed on the network
+      that have been configured to use the Spanning Tree protocol. 
+
+   -- DualNet - In this mode, ports A and B are used as separate devices. 
+      If you have a dual port adapter, port A will be configured as eth0 
+      and port B as eth1. Both ports can be used independently with 
+      distinct IP addresses. The preferred port setting is not used. 
+      RLMT is turned off.
+   
+NOTE: RLMT modes CLP and CLPSS are designed to operate in configurations 
+      where a network path between the ports on one adapter exists. 
+      Moreover, they are not designed to work where adapters are connected
+      back-to-back.
+***
+
+
+5  Large Frame Support
+======================
+
+The driver supports large frames (also called jumbo frames). Using large 
+frames can result in an improved throughput if transferring large amounts 
+of data.
+To enable large frames, set the MTU (maximum transfer unit) of the 
+interface to the desired value (up to 9000), execute the following 
+command:
+      ifconfig eth0 mtu 9000
+This will only work if you have two adapters connected back-to-back
+or if you use a switch that supports large frames. When using a switch, 
+it should be configured to allow large frames and auto-negotiation should  
+be set to OFF. The setting must be configured on all adapters that can be 
+reached by the large frames. If one adapter is not set to receive large 
+frames, it will simply drop them.
+
+You can switch back to the standard ethernet frame size by executing the 
+following command:
+      ifconfig eth0 mtu 1500
+
+To permanently configure this setting, add a script with the 'ifconfig' 
+line to the system startup sequence (named something like "S99sk98lin" 
+in /etc/rc.d/rc2.d).
+***
+
+
+6  VLAN and Link Aggregation Support (IEEE 802.1, 802.1q, 802.3ad)
+==================================================================
+
+The Marvell Yukon/SysKonnect Linux drivers are able to support VLAN and 
+Link Aggregation according to IEEE standards 802.1, 802.1q, and 802.3ad. 
+These features are only available after installation of open source 
+modules available on the Internet:
+For VLAN go to: http://www.candelatech.com/~greear/vlan.html
+For Link Aggregation go to: http://www.st.rim.or.jp/~yumo
+
+NOTE: SysKonnect GmbH does not offer any support for these open source 
+      modules and does not take the responsibility for any kind of 
+      failures or problems arising in connection with these modules.
+
+NOTE: Configuring Link Aggregation on a SysKonnect dual link adapter may 
+      cause problems when unloading the driver.
+
+
+7  Troubleshooting
+==================
+
+If any problems occur during the installation process, check the 
+following list:
+
+
+Problem:  The SK-98xx adapter cannot be found by the driver.
+Solution: In /proc/pci search for the following entry:
+             'Ethernet controller: SysKonnect SK-98xx ...'
+          If this entry exists, the SK-98xx or SK-98xx V2.0 adapter has 
+          been found by the system and should be operational.
+          If this entry does not exist or if the file '/proc/pci' is not 
+          found, there may be a hardware problem or the PCI support may 
+          not be enabled in your kernel.
+          The adapter can be checked using the diagnostics program which 
+          is available on the SysKonnect web site:
+          www.syskonnect.com
+          
+          Some COMPAQ machines have problems dealing with PCI under Linux.
+          This problem is described in the 'PCI howto' document
+          (included in some distributions or available from the
+          web, e.g. at 'www.linux.org'). 
+
+
+Problem:  Programs such as 'ifconfig' or 'route' cannot be found or the 
+          error message 'Operation not permitted' is displayed.
+Reason:   You are not logged in as user 'root'.
+Solution: Logout and login as 'root' or change to 'root' via 'su'.
+
+
+Problem:  Upon use of the command 'ping <address>' the message
+          "ping: sendto: Network is unreachable" is displayed.
+Reason:   Your route is not set correctly.
+Solution: If you are using RedHat, you probably forgot to set up the 
+          route in the 'network configuration'.
+          Check the existing routes with the 'route' command and check 
+          if an entry for 'eth0' exists, and if so, if it is set correctly.
+
+
+Problem:  The driver can be started, the adapter is connected to the 
+          network, but you cannot receive or transmit any packets; 
+          e.g. 'ping' does not work.
+Reason:   There is an incorrect route in your routing table.
+Solution: Check the routing table with the command 'route' and read the 
+          manual help pages dealing with routes (enter 'man route').
+
+NOTE: Although the 2.2.x kernel versions generate the routing entry 
+      automatically, problems of this kind may occur here as well. We've 
+      come across a situation in which the driver started correctly at 
+      system start, but after the driver has been removed and reloaded,
+      the route of the adapter's network pointed to the 'dummy0'device 
+      and had to be corrected manually.
+
+
+Problem:  Your computer should act as a router between multiple 
+          IP subnetworks (using multiple adapters), but computers in 
+          other subnetworks cannot be reached.
+Reason:   Either the router's kernel is not configured for IP forwarding 
+          or the routing table and gateway configuration of at least one 
+          computer is not working.
+
+Problem:  Upon driver start, the following error message is displayed:
+          "eth0: -- ERROR --
+          Class: internal Software error
+          Nr:    0xcc
+          Msg:   SkGeInitPort() cannot init running ports"
+Reason:   You are using a driver compiled for single processor machines 
+          on a multiprocessor machine with SMP (Symmetric MultiProcessor) 
+          kernel.
+Solution: Configure your kernel appropriately and recompile the kernel or
+          the modules.
+
+
+
+If your problem is not listed here, please contact SysKonnect's technical
+support for help (linux@syskonnect.de).
+When contacting our technical support, please ensure that the following 
+information is available:
+- System Manufacturer and HW Informations (CPU, Memory... )
+- PCI-Boards in your system
+- Distribution
+- Kernel version
+- Driver version

+Compatibility notes:
+
+ibm-acpi and thinkpad-acpi 0.15 (mainline kernels before 2.6.23) never
+supported the input layer, and sent events over the procfs ACPI event
+interface.
+
+To avoid sending duplicate events over the input layer and the ACPI
+event interface, thinkpad-acpi 0.16 implements a module parameter
+(hotkey_report_mode), and also a sysfs device attribute with the same
+name.
+
+Make no mistake here: userspace is expected to switch to using the input
+layer interface of thinkpad-acpi, together with the ACPI netlink event
+interface in kernels 2.6.23 and later, or with the ACPI procfs event
+interface in kernels 2.6.22 and earlier.
+
+If no hotkey_report_mode module parameter is specified (or it is set to
+zero), the driver defaults to mode 1 (see below), and on kernels 2.6.22
+and earlier, also allows one to change the hotkey_report_mode through
+sysfs.  In kernels 2.6.23 and later, where the netlink ACPI event
+interface is available, hotkey_report_mode cannot be changed through
+sysfs (it is read-only).
+
+If the hotkey_report_mode module parameter is set to 1 or 2, it cannot
+be changed later through sysfs (any writes will return -EPERM to signal
+that hotkey_report_mode was locked.  On 2.6.23 and later, where
+hotkey_report_mode cannot be changed at all, writes will return -EACES).
+
+hotkey_report_mode set to 1 makes the driver export through the procfs
+ACPI event interface all hot key presses (which are *also* sent to the
+input layer).  This is a legacy compatibility behaviour, and it is also
+the default mode of operation for the driver.
+
+hotkey_report_mode set to 2 makes the driver filter out the hot key
+presses from the procfs ACPI event interface, so these events will only
+be sent through the input layer.  Userspace that has been updated to use
+the thinkpad-acpi input layer interface should set hotkey_report_mode to
+2.
+
+Hot key press events are never sent to the ACPI netlink event interface.
+Really up-to-date userspace under kernel 2.6.23 and later is to use the
+netlink interface and the input layer interface, and don't bother at all
+with hotkey_report_mode.
