pci_enable_msix().
-5.3.2 Handling MSI-X allocation
-
-Determining the number of MSI-X vectors allocated to a function is
-dependent on the number of MSI capable devices and MSI-X capable
-devices populated in the system. The policy of allocating MSI-X
-vectors to a function is defined as the following:
-
-#of MSI-X vectors allocated to a function = (x - y)/z where
-
-x = The number of available PCI vector resources by the time
- the device driver calls pci_enable_msix(). The PCI vector
- resources is the sum of the number of unassigned vectors
- (new) and the number of released vectors when any MSI/MSI-X
- device driver switches its hardware device back to a legacy
- mode or is hot-removed. The number of unassigned vectors
- may exclude some vectors reserved, as defined in parameter
- NR_HP_RESERVED_VECTORS, for the case where the system is
- capable of supporting hot-add/hot-remove operations. Users
- may change the value defined in NR_HR_RESERVED_VECTORS to
- meet their specific needs.
-
-y = The number of MSI capable devices populated in the system.
- This policy ensures that each MSI capable device has its
- vector reserved to avoid the case where some MSI-X capable
- drivers may attempt to claim all available vector resources.
-
-z = The number of MSI-X capable devices populated in the system.
- This policy ensures that maximum (x - y) is distributed
- evenly among MSI-X capable devices.
-
-Note that the PCI subsystem scans y and z during a bus enumeration.
-When the PCI subsystem completes configuring MSI/MSI-X capability
-structure of a device as requested by its device driver, y/z is
-decremented accordingly.
-
-5.3.3 Handling MSI-X shortages
-
-For the case where fewer MSI-X vectors are allocated to a function
-than requested, the function pci_enable_msix() will return the
-maximum number of MSI-X vectors available to the caller. A device
-driver may re-send its request with fewer or equal vectors indicated
-in the return. For example, if a device driver requests 5 vectors, but
-the number of available vectors is 3 vectors, a value of 3 will be
-returned as a result of pci_enable_msix() call. A function could be
-designed for its driver to use only 3 MSI-X table entries as
-different combinations as ABC--, A-B-C, A--CB, etc. Note that this
-patch does not support multiple entries with the same vector. Such
-attempt by a device driver to use 5 MSI-X table entries with 3 vectors
-as ABBCC, AABCC, BCCBA, etc will result as a failure by the function
-pci_enable_msix(). Below are the reasons why supporting multiple
-entries with the same vector is an undesirable solution.
-
- - The PCI subsystem cannot determine the entry that
- generated the message to mask/unmask MSI while handling
- software driver ISR. Attempting to walk through all MSI-X
- table entries (2048 max) to mask/unmask any match vector
- is an undesirable solution.
-
- - Walking through all MSI-X table entries (2048 max) to handle
- SMP affinity of any match vector is an undesirable solution.

+
+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;
+
+ . . .
+}

+sysfs attribute writes interpretation
+-------------------------------------
+
+hwmon sysfs attributes always contain numbers, so the first thing to do is to
+convert the input to a number, there are 2 ways todo this depending whether
+the number can be negative or not:
+unsigned long u = simple_strtoul(buf, NULL, 10);
+long s = simple_strtol(buf, NULL, 10);
+
+With buf being the buffer with the user input being passed by the kernel.
+Notice that we do not use the second argument of strto[u]l, and thus cannot
+tell when 0 is returned, if this was really 0 or is caused by invalid input.
+This is done deliberately as checking this everywhere would add a lot of
+code to the kernel.
+
+Notice that it is important to always store the converted value in an
+unsigned long or long, so that no wrap around can happen before any further
+checking.
+
+After the input string is converted to an (unsigned) long, the value should be
+checked if its acceptable. Be careful with further conversions on the value
+before checking it for validity, as these conversions could still cause a wrap
+around before the check. For example do not multiply the result, and only
+add/subtract if it has been divided before the add/subtract.
+
+What to do if a value is found to be invalid, depends on the type of the
+sysfs attribute that is being set. If it is a continuous setting like a
+tempX_max or inX_max attribute, then the value should be clamped to its
+limits using SENSORS_LIMIT(value, min_limit, max_limit). If it is not
+continuous like for example a tempX_type, then when an invalid value is
+written, -EINVAL should be returned.
+
+Example1, temp1_max, register is a signed 8 bit value (-128 - 127 degrees):
+
+ long v = simple_strtol(buf, NULL, 10) / 1000;
+ v = SENSORS_LIMIT(v, -128, 127);

-*** NOTE: It is the responsibility of user-space code to handle the fact
-that the beep enable and alarm bits are in different positions when using that
-feature of the chip.
-
-When an alarm goes off, you can be warned by a beeping signal through your
-computer speaker. It is possible to enable all beeping globally, or only
-the beeping for some alarms.
-
-The driver only reads the chip values each 3 seconds; reading them more
-often will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
+The w83791d has a global bit used to enable beeping from the speaker when an
+alarm is triggered as well as a bitmask to enable or disable the beep for
+specific alarms. You need both the global beep enable bit and the
+corresponding beep bit to be on for a triggered alarm to sound a beep.
+
+The sysfs interface to the gloabal enable is via the sysfs beep_enable file.
+This file is used for both legacy and new code.
+
+The sysfs interface to the beep bitmask has migrated from the original legacy
+method of a single sysfs beep_mask file to a newer method using multiple
+*_beep files as described in .../Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface.
+
+A similar change has occured for the bitmap corresponding to the alarms. The
+original legacy method used a single sysfs alarms file containing a bitmap
+of triggered alarms. The newer method uses multiple sysfs *_alarm files
+(again following the pattern described in sysfs-interface).
+
+Since both methods read and write the underlying hardware, they can be used
+interchangeably and changes in one will automatically be reflected by
+the other. If you use the legacy bitmask method, your user-space code is
+responsible for handling the fact that the alarms and beep_mask bitmaps
+are not the same (see the table below).
+
+NOTE: All new code should be written to use the newer sysfs-interface
+specification as that avoids bitmap problems and is the preferred interface
+going forward.
+
+The driver reads the hardware chip values at most once every three seconds.
+User mode code requesting values more often will receive cached values.

+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.
+
+ - USAGE
+
+Look at the current lock statistics:

+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,
+they have two: contentions and [<IP>] symbol.

-Introduction to NAPI
-====================
-
-NAPI is a proven (www.cyberus.ca/~hadi/usenix-paper.tgz) technique
-to improve network performance on Linux. For more details please
-read that paper.
-NAPI provides a "inherent mitigation" which is bound by system capacity
-as can be seen from the following data collected by Robert on Gigabit
-ethernet (e1000):
-
- Psize Ipps Tput Rxint Txint Done Ndone

-Legend:
-"Ipps" stands for input packets per second.
-"Tput" == packets out of total 1M that made it out.
-"txint" == transmit completion interrupts seen
-"Done" == The number of times that the poll() managed to pull all
-packets out of the rx ring. Note from this that the lower the
-load the more we could clean up the rxring
-"Ndone" == is the converse of "Done". Note again, that the higher
-the load the more times we couldn't clean up the rxring.
-
-Observe that:
-when the NIC receives 890Kpackets/sec only 17 rx interrupts are generated.
-The system cant handle the processing at 1 interrupt/packet at that load level.
-At lower rates on the other hand, rx interrupts go up and therefore the
-interrupt/packet ratio goes up (as observable from that table). So there is
-possibility that under low enough input, you get one poll call for each
-input packet caused by a single interrupt each time. And if the system
-cant handle interrupt per packet ratio of 1, then it will just have to
-chug along ....
-
-
-0) Prerequisites:
-==================
-A driver MAY continue using the old 2.4 technique for interfacing
-to the network stack and not benefit from the NAPI changes.
-NAPI additions to the kernel do not break backward compatibility.
-NAPI, however, requires the following features to be available:
-
-A) DMA ring or enough RAM to store packets in software devices.
-
-B) Ability to turn off interrupts or maybe events that send packets up
-the stack.
-
-NAPI processes packet events in what is known as dev->poll() method.
-Typically, only packet receive events are processed in dev->poll().
-The rest of the events MAY be processed by the regular interrupt handler
-to reduce processing latency (justified also because there are not that
-many of them).
-Note, however, NAPI does not enforce that dev->poll() only processes
-receive events.
-Tests with the tulip driver indicated slightly increased latency if
-all of the interrupt handler is moved to dev->poll(). Also MII handling
-gets a little trickier.
-The example used in this document is to move the receive processing only
-to dev->poll(); this is shown with the patch for the tulip driver.
-For an example of code that moves all the interrupt driver to
-dev->poll() look at the ported e1000 code.
-
-There are caveats that might force you to go with moving everything to
-dev->poll(). Different NICs work differently depending on their status/event
-acknowledgement setup.
-There are two types of event register ACK mechanisms.
- I) what is known as Clear-on-read (COR).
- when you read the status/event register, it clears everything!
- The natsemi and sunbmac NICs are known to do this.
- In this case your only choice is to move all to dev->poll()
-
- II) Clear-on-write (COW)
- i) you clear the status by writing a 1 in the bit-location you want.
- These are the majority of the NICs and work the best with NAPI.
- Put only receive events in dev->poll(); leave the rest in
- the old interrupt handler.
- ii) whatever you write in the status register clears every thing ;->
- Cant seem to find any supported by Linux which do this. If
- someone knows such a chip email us please.
- Move all to dev->poll()
-
-C) Ability to detect new work correctly.
-NAPI works by shutting down event interrupts when there's work and
-turning them on when there's none.
-New packets might show up in the small window while interrupts were being
-re-enabled (refer to appendix 2). A packet might sneak in during the period
-we are enabling interrupts. We only get to know about such a packet when the
-next new packet arrives and generates an interrupt.
-Essentially, there is a small window of opportunity for a race condition
-which for clarity we'll refer to as the "rotting packet".
-
-This is a very important topic and appendix 2 is dedicated for more
-discussion.
-
-Locking rules and environmental guarantees
-==========================================
-
--Guarantee: Only one CPU at any time can call dev->poll(); this is because
-only one CPU can pick the initial interrupt and hence the initial
-netif_rx_schedule(dev);
-- The core layer invokes devices to send packets in a round robin format.
-This implies receive is totally lockless because of the guarantee that only
-one CPU is executing it.
-- contention can only be the result of some other CPU accessing the rx
-ring. This happens only in close() and suspend() (when these methods
-try to clean the rx ring);
-****guarantee: driver authors need not worry about this; synchronization
-is taken care for them by the top net layer.
--local interrupts are enabled (if you dont move all to dev->poll()). For
-example link/MII and txcomplete continue functioning just same old way.
-This improves the latency of processing these events. It is also assumed that
-the receive interrupt is the largest cause of noise. Note this might not
-always be true.
-[according to Manfred Spraul, the winbond insists on sending one
-txmitcomplete interrupt for each packet (although this can be mitigated)].
-For these broken drivers, move all to dev->poll().
-
-For the rest of this text, we'll assume that dev->poll() only
-processes receive events.
-
-new methods introduce by NAPI
-=============================
-
-a) netif_rx_schedule(dev)
-Called by an IRQ handler to schedule a poll for device
-
-b) netif_rx_schedule_prep(dev)
-puts the device in a state which allows for it to be added to the
-CPU polling list if it is up and running. You can look at this as
-the first half of netif_rx_schedule(dev) above; the second half
-being c) below.
-
-c) __netif_rx_schedule(dev)
-Add device to the poll list for this CPU; assuming that _prep above
-has already been called and returned 1.
-
-d) netif_rx_reschedule(dev, undo)
-Called to reschedule polling for device specifically for some
-deficient hardware. Read Appendix 2 for more details.
-
-e) netif_rx_complete(dev)
-
-Remove interface from the CPU poll list: it must be in the poll list
-on current cpu. This primitive is called by dev->poll(), when
-it completes its work. The device cannot be out of poll list at this
-call, if it is then clearly it is a BUG(). You'll know ;->
-
-All of the above methods are used below, so keep reading for clarity.
-
-Device driver changes to be made when porting NAPI
-==================================================
-
-Below we describe what kind of changes are required for NAPI to work.
-
-1) introduction of dev->poll() method
-=====================================
-
-This is the method that is invoked by the network core when it requests
-for new packets from the driver. A driver is allowed to send upto
-dev->quota packets by the current CPU before yielding to the network
-subsystem (so other devices can also get opportunity to send to the stack).
-
-dev->poll() prototype looks as follows:
-int my_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)
-
-budget is the remaining number of packets the network subsystem on the
-current CPU can send up the stack before yielding to other system tasks.
-*Each driver is responsible for decrementing budget by the total number of
-packets sent.
- Total number of packets cannot exceed dev->quota.
-
-dev->poll() method is invoked by the top layer, the driver just sends if it
-can to the stack the packet quantity requested.
-
-more on dev->poll() below after the interrupt changes are explained.
-
-2) registering dev->poll() method
-===================================
-
-dev->poll should be set in the dev->probe() method.
-e.g:
-dev->open = my_open;
-.
-.
-/* two new additions */
-/* first register my poll method */
-dev->poll = my_poll;
-/* next register my weight/quanta; can be overridden in /proc */
-dev->weight = 16;
-.
-.
-dev->stop = my_close;
-
-
-
-3) scheduling dev->poll()
-=============================
-This involves modifying the interrupt handler and the code
-path which takes the packet off the NIC and sends them to the
-stack.
-
-it's important at this point to introduce the classical D Becker
-interrupt processor:
-
-------------------
-static irqreturn_t
-netdevice_interrupt(int irq, void *dev_id, struct pt_regs *regs)
-{
-
- struct net_device *dev = (struct net_device *)dev_instance;
- struct my_private *tp = (struct my_private *)dev->priv;
-
- int work_count = my_work_count;
- status = read_interrupt_status_reg();
- if (status == 0)
- return IRQ_NONE; /* Shared IRQ: not us */
- if (status == 0xffff)
- return IRQ_HANDLED; /* Hot unplug */
- if (status & error)
- do_some_error_handling()
-
- do {
- acknowledge_ints_ASAP();
-
- if (status & link_interrupt) {
- spin_lock(&tp->link_lock);
- do_some_link_stat_stuff();
- spin_lock(&tp->link_lock);
- }
-
- if (status & rx_interrupt) {
- receive_packets(dev);
- }
-
- if (status & rx_nobufs) {
- make_rx_buffs_avail();
- }
-
- if (status & tx_related) {
- spin_lock(&tp->lock);
- tx_ring_free(dev);
- if (tx_died)
- restart_tx();
- spin_unlock(&tp->lock);
- }
-
- status = read_interrupt_status_reg();
-
- } while (!(status & error) || more_work_to_be_done);
- return IRQ_HANDLED;
-}
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-We now change this to what is shown below to NAPI-enable it:
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-static irqreturn_t
-netdevice_interrupt(int irq, void *dev_id, struct pt_regs *regs)
-{
- struct net_device *dev = (struct net_device *)dev_instance;
- struct my_private *tp = (struct my_private *)dev->priv;
-
- status = read_interrupt_status_reg();
- if (status == 0)
- return IRQ_NONE; /* Shared IRQ: not us */
- if (status == 0xffff)
- return IRQ_HANDLED; /* Hot unplug */
- if (status & error)
- do_some_error_handling();
-
- do {
-/************************ start note *********************************/
- acknowledge_ints_ASAP(); // dont ack rx and rxnobuff here
-/************************ end note *********************************/
-
- if (status & link_interrupt) {
- spin_lock(&tp->link_lock);
- do_some_link_stat_stuff();
- spin_unlock(&tp->link_lock);
- }
-/************************ start note *********************************/
- if (status & rx_interrupt || (status & rx_nobuffs)) {
- if (netif_rx_schedule_prep(dev)) {
-
- /* disable interrupts caused
- * by arriving packets */
- disable_rx_and_rxnobuff_ints();
- /* tell system we have work to be done. */
- __netif_rx_schedule(dev);
- } else {
- printk("driver bug! interrupt while in poll\n");
- /* FIX by disabling interrupts */
- disable_rx_and_rxnobuff_ints();
- }
- }
-/************************ end note note *********************************/
-
- if (status & tx_related) {
- spin_lock(&tp->lock);
- tx_ring_free(dev);
-
- if (tx_died)
- restart_tx();
- spin_unlock(&tp->lock);
- }
-
- status = read_interrupt_status_reg();
-
-/************************ start note *********************************/
- } while (!(status & error) || more_work_to_be_done(status));
-/************************ end note note *********************************/
- return IRQ_HANDLED;
-}
-
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-We note several things from above:
-
-I) Any interrupt source which is caused by arriving packets is now
-turned off when it occurs. Depending on the hardware, there could be
-several reasons that arriving packets would cause interrupts; these are the
-interrupt sources we wish to avoid. The two common ones are a) a packet
-arriving (rxint) b) a packet arriving and finding no DMA buffers available
-(rxnobuff) .
-This means also acknowledge_ints_ASAP() will not clear the status
-register for those two items above; clearing is done in the place where
-proper work is done within NAPI; at the poll() and refill_rx_ring()
-discussed further below.
-netif_rx_schedule_prep() returns 1 if device is in running state and
-gets successfully added to the core poll list. If we get a zero value
-we can _almost_ assume are already added to the list (instead of not running.
-Logic based on the fact that you shouldn't get interrupt if not running)
-We rectify this by disabling rx and rxnobuf interrupts.
-
-II) that receive_packets(dev) and make_rx_buffs_avail() may have disappeared.
-These functionalities are still around actually......
-
-infact, receive_packets(dev) is very close to my_poll() and
-make_rx_buffs_avail() is invoked from my_poll()
-
-4) converting receive_packets() to dev->poll()
-===============================================
-
-We need to convert the classical D Becker receive_packets(dev) to my_poll()
-
-First the typical receive_packets() below:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-/* this is called by interrupt handler */
-static void receive_packets (struct net_device *dev)
-{
-
- struct my_private *tp = (struct my_private *)dev->priv;
- rx_ring = tp->rx_ring;
- cur_rx = tp->cur_rx;
- int entry = cur_rx % RX_RING_SIZE;
- int received = 0;
- int rx_work_limit = tp->dirty_rx + RX_RING_SIZE - tp->cur_rx;
-
- while (rx_ring_not_empty) {
- u32 rx_status;
- unsigned int rx_size;
- unsigned int pkt_size;
- struct sk_buff *skb;
- /* read size+status of next frame from DMA ring buffer */
- /* the number 16 and 4 are just examples */
- rx_status = le32_to_cpu (*(u32 *) (rx_ring + ring_offset));
- rx_size = rx_status >> 16;
- pkt_size = rx_size - 4;
-
- /* process errors */
- if ((rx_size > (MAX_ETH_FRAME_SIZE+4)) ||
- (!(rx_status & RxStatusOK))) {
- netdrv_rx_err (rx_status, dev, tp, ioaddr);
- return;
- }
-
- if (--rx_work_limit < 0)
- break;
-
- /* grab a skb */
- skb = dev_alloc_skb (pkt_size + 2);
- if (skb) {
- .
- .
- netif_rx (skb);
- .
- .
- } else { /* OOM */
- /*seems very driver specific ... some just pass
- whatever is on the ring already. */
- }
-
- /* move to the next skb on the ring */
- entry = (++tp->cur_rx) % RX_RING_SIZE;
- received++ ;
-
- }
-
- /* store current ring pointer state */
- tp->cur_rx = cur_rx;
-
- /* Refill the Rx ring buffers if they are needed */
- refill_rx_ring();
- .
- .
-
-}
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-We change it to a new one below; note the additional parameter in
-the call.
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-/* this is called by the network core */
-static int my_poll (struct net_device *dev, int *budget)
-{

- * Summarizing: the logic may result in some redundant irqs both

- */
-
- return 0; /* done */
-
-not_done:
- if (tp->cur_rx - tp->dirty_rx > RX_RING_SIZE/2 ||

-}
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-From above we note that:
-0) rx_work_limit = dev->quota
-1) refill_rx_ring() is in charge of clearing the bit for rxnobuff when
-it does the work.
-2) We have a done and not_done state.
-3) instead of netif_rx() we call netif_receive_skb() to pass the skb.
-4) we have a new way of handling oom condition
-5) A new outer for (;;) loop has been added. This serves the purpose of
-ensuring that if a new packet has come in, after we are all set and done,
-and we have not exceeded our quota that we continue sending packets up.
-
-
------------------------------------------------------------
-Poll timer code will need to do the following:
-
-a)
-
- if (tp->cur_rx - tp->dirty_rx > RX_RING_SIZE/2 ||
- tp->rx_buffers[tp->dirty_rx % RX_RING_SIZE].skb == NULL)
- refill_rx_ring(dev);
-
- /* If RX ring is not full we are still out of memory.
- Restart the timer again. Else we re-add ourselves
- to the master poll list.
- */
-
- if (tp->rx_buffers[tp->dirty_rx % RX_RING_SIZE].skb == NULL)
- restart_timer();
-
- else netif_rx_schedule(dev); /* we are back on the poll list */
-
-5) dev->close() and dev->suspend() issues
-==========================================
-The driver writer needn't worry about this; the top net layer takes
-care of it.
-
-6) Adding new Stats to /proc
-=============================
-In order to debug some of the new features, we introduce new stats
-that need to be collected.
-TODO: Fill this later.
-
-APPENDIX 1: discussion on using ethernet HW FC
-==============================================
-Most chips with FC only send a pause packet when they run out of Rx buffers.
-Since packets are pulled off the DMA ring by a softirq in NAPI,
-if the system is slow in grabbing them and we have a high input
-rate (faster than the system's capacity to remove packets), then theoretically
-there will only be one rx interrupt for all packets during a given packetstorm.
-Under low load, we might have a single interrupt per packet.
-FC should be programmed to apply in the case when the system cant pull out
-packets fast enough i.e send a pause only when you run out of rx buffers.
-Note FC in itself is a good solution but we have found it to not be
-much of a commodity feature (both in NICs and switches) and hence falls
-under the same category as using NIC based mitigation. Also, experiments
-indicate that it's much harder to resolve the resource allocation
-issue (aka lazy receiving that NAPI offers) and hence quantify its usefulness
-proved harder. In any case, FC works even better with NAPI but is not
-necessary.
-
-
-APPENDIX 2: the "rotting packet" race-window avoidance scheme
-=============================================================
-
-There are two types of associations seen here
-
-1) status/int which honors level triggered IRQ
-
-If a status bit for receive or rxnobuff is set and the corresponding
-interrupt-enable bit is not on, then no interrupts will be generated. However,
-as soon as the "interrupt-enable" bit is unmasked, an immediate interrupt is
-generated. [assuming the status bit was not turned off].
-Generally the concept of level triggered IRQs in association with a status and
-interrupt-enable CSR register set is used to avoid the race.
-
-If we take the example of the tulip:
-"pending work" is indicated by the status bit(CSR5 in tulip).
-the corresponding interrupt bit (CSR7 in tulip) might be turned off (but
-the CSR5 will continue to be turned on with new packet arrivals even if
-we clear it the first time)
-Very important is the fact that if we turn on the interrupt bit on when
-status is set that an immediate irq is triggered.
-
-If we cleared the rx ring and proclaimed there was "no more work
-to be done" and then went on to do a few other things; then when we enable
-interrupts, there is a possibility that a new packet might sneak in during
-this phase. It helps to look at the pseudo code for the tulip poll
-routine:
-
---------------------------
- do {
- ACK;
- while (ring_is_not_empty()) {
- work-work-work
- if quota is exceeded: exit, no touching irq status/mask
- }
- /* No packets, but new can arrive while we are doing this*/
- CSR5 := read
- if (CSR5 is not set) {
- /* If something arrives in this narrow window here,
- * where the comments are ;-> irq will be generated */
- unmask irqs;
- exit poll;
- }
- } while (rx_status_is_set);
-------------------------
-
-CSR5 bit of interest is only the rx status.
-If you look at the last if statement:
-you just finished grabbing all the packets from the rx ring .. you check if
-status bit says there are more packets just in ... it says none; you then
-enable rx interrupts again; if a new packet just came in during this check,
-we are counting that CSR5 will be set in that small window of opportunity
-and that by re-enabling interrupts, we would actually trigger an interrupt
-to register the new packet for processing.
-
-[The above description nay be very verbose, if you have better wording
-that will make this more understandable, please suggest it.]
-
-2) non-capable hardware
-
-These do not generally respect level triggered IRQs. Normally,
-irqs may be lost while being masked and the only way to leave poll is to do
-a double check for new input after netif_rx_complete() is invoked
-and re-enable polling (after seeing this new input).
-
-Sample code:
-
----------
- .
- .
-restart_poll:
- while (ring_is_not_empty()) {
- work-work-work
- if quota is exceeded: exit, not touching irq status/mask
- }
- .
- .
- .
- enable_rx_interrupts()
- netif_rx_complete(dev);
- if (ring_has_new_packet() && netif_rx_reschedule(dev, received)) {
- disable_rx_and_rxnobufs()
- goto restart_poll
- } while (rx_status_is_set);
----------
-
-Basically netif_rx_complete() removes us from the poll list, but because a
-new packet which will never be caught due to the possibility of a race
-might come in, we attempt to re-add ourselves to the poll list.
-
-
-
-
-APPENDIX 3: Scheduling issues.
-==============================
-As seen NAPI moves processing to softirq level. Linux uses the ksoftirqd as the
-general solution to schedule softirq's to run before next interrupt and by putting
-them under scheduler control. Also this prevents consecutive softirq's from
-monopolize the CPU. This also have the effect that the priority of ksoftirq needs
-to be considered when running very CPU-intensive applications and networking to
-get the proper balance of softirq/user balance. Increasing ksoftirq priority to 0
-(eventually more) is reported cure problems with low network performance at high
-CPU load.
-
-Most used processes in a GIGE router:
-USER PID %CPU %MEM SIZE RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
-root 3 0.2 0.0 0 0 ? RWN Aug 15 602:00 (ksoftirqd_CPU0)

- The Digi International RightSwitch SE-X (dgrs) Device Driver
-
-This is a Linux driver for the Digi International RightSwitch SE-X
-EISA and PCI boards. These are 4 (EISA) or 6 (PCI) port Ethernet
-switches and a NIC combined into a single board. This driver can
-be compiled into the kernel statically or as a loadable module.
-
-There is also a companion management tool, called "xrightswitch".
-The management tool lets you watch the performance graphically,
-as well as set the SNMP agent IP and IPX addresses, IEEE Spanning
-Tree, and Aging time. These can also be set from the command line
-when the driver is loaded. The driver command line options are:
-
- debug=NNN Debug printing level
- dma=0/1 Disable/Enable DMA on PCI card
- spantree=0/1 Disable/Enable IEEE spanning tree
- hashexpire=NNN Change address aging time (default 300 seconds)
- ipaddr=A,B,C,D Set SNMP agent IP address i.e. 199,86,8,221
- iptrap=A,B,C,D Set SNMP agent IP trap address i.e. 199,86,8,221
- ipxnet=NNN Set SNMP agent IPX network number
- nicmode=0/1 Disable/Enable multiple NIC mode
-
-There is also a tool for setting up input and output packet filters

+
+ modprobe netconsole netconsole="@/,@10.0.0.2/;@/eth1,6892@10.0.0.3/"
+
Built-in netconsole starts immediately after the TCP stack is
initialized and attempts to bring up the supplied dev at the supplied
address.
The remote host can run either 'netcat -u -l -p <port>' or syslogd.
+Dynamic reconfiguration:
+========================
+
+Dynamic reconfigurability is a useful addition to netconsole that enables
+remote logging targets to be dynamically added, removed, or have their
+parameters reconfigured at runtime from a configfs-based userspace interface.
+[ Note that the parameters of netconsole targets that were specified/created
+from the boot/module option are not exposed via this interface, and hence
+cannot be modified dynamically. ]
+
+To include this feature, select CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC when building the
+netconsole module (or kernel, if netconsole is built-in).
+
+Some examples follow (where configfs is mounted at the /sys/kernel/config
+mountpoint).
+
+To add a remote logging target (target names can be arbitrary):
+
+ cd /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/
+ mkdir target1
+
+Note that newly created targets have default parameter values (as mentioned
+above) and are disabled by default -- they must first be enabled by writing
+"1" to the "enabled" attribute (usually after setting parameters accordingly)
+as described below.
+
+To remove a target:
+
+ rmdir /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/othertarget/
+
+The interface exposes these parameters of a netconsole target to userspace:
+
+ enabled Is this target currently enabled? (read-write)
+ dev_name Local network interface name (read-write)
+ local_port Source UDP port to use (read-write)
+ remote_port Remote agent's UDP port (read-write)
+ local_ip Source IP address to use (read-write)
+ remote_ip Remote agent's IP address (read-write)
+ local_mac Local interface's MAC address (read-only)
+ remote_mac Remote agent's MAC address (read-write)
+
+The "enabled" attribute is also used to control whether the parameters of
+a target can be updated or not -- you can modify the parameters of only
+disabled targets (i.e. if "enabled" is 0).
+
+To update a target's parameters:
+
+ cat enabled # check if enabled is 1
+ echo 0 > enabled # disable the target (if required)
+ echo eth2 > dev_name # set local interface
+ echo 10.0.0.4 > remote_ip # update some parameter
+ echo cb:a9:87:65:43:21 > remote_mac # update more parameters
+ echo 1 > enabled # enable target again
+
+You can also update the local interface dynamically. This is especially
+useful if you want to use interfaces that have newly come up (and may not
+have existed when netconsole was loaded / initialized).
+
+Miscellaneous notes:
+====================
+
WARNING: the default target ethernet setting uses the broadcast
ethernet address to send packets, which can cause increased load on
other systems on the same ethernet segment.
+TIP: some LAN switches may be configured to suppress ethernet broadcasts
+so it is advised to explicitly specify the remote agents' MAC addresses
+from the config parameters passed to netconsole.
+
+TIP: to find out the MAC address of, say, 10.0.0.2, you may try using:
+
+ ping -c 1 10.0.0.2 ; /sbin/arp -n | grep 10.0.0.2
+
+TIP: in case the remote logging agent is on a separate LAN subnet than
+the sender, it is suggested to try specifying the MAC address of the
+default gateway (you may use /sbin/route -n to find it out) as the
+remote MAC address instead.
+
NOTE: the network device (eth1 in the above case) can run any kind
of other network traffic, netconsole is not intrusive. Netconsole
might cause slight delays in other traffic if the volume of kernel
messages is high, but should have no other impact.
+NOTE: if you find that the remote logging agent is not receiving or
+printing all messages from the sender, it is likely that you have set
+the "console_loglevel" parameter (on the sender) to only send high
+priority messages to the console. You can change this at runtime using:
+
+ dmesg -n 8
+
+or by specifying "debug" on the kernel command line at boot, to send
+all kernel messages to the console. A specific value for this parameter
+can also be set using the "loglevel" kernel boot option. See the
+dmesg(8) man page and Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt for details.
+
Netconsole was designed to be as instantaneous as possible, to
enable the logging of even the most critical kernel bugs. It works
from IRQ contexts as well, and does not enable interrupts while

+
+
+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

- j) Flash chip nodes
+ j) CFI or JEDEC memory-mapped NOR flash
Flash chips (Memory Technology Devices) are often used for solid state
file systems on embedded devices.
- Required properties:
-
- - device_type : has to be "rom"
- - compatible : Should specify what this flash device is compatible with.
- Currently, this is most likely to be "direct-mapped" (which
- corresponds to the MTD physmap mapping driver).
- - reg : Offset and length of the register set (or memory mapping) for
- the device.
- - bank-width : Width of the flash data bus in bytes. Required
- for the NOR flashes (compatible == "direct-mapped" and others) ONLY.
-
- Recommended properties :
-
- - partitions : Several pairs of 32-bit values where the first value is
- partition's offset from the start of the device and the second one is
- partition size in bytes with LSB used to signify a read only
- partition (so, the partition size should always be an even number).
- - partition-names : The list of concatenated zero terminated strings
- representing the partition names.
- - probe-type : The type of probe which should be done for the chip
- (JEDEC vs CFI actually). Valid ONLY for NOR flashes.
+ - compatible : should contain the specific model of flash chip(s)
+ used, if known, followed by either "cfi-flash" or "jedec-flash"
+ - reg : Address range of the flash chip
+ - bank-width : Width (in bytes) of the flash bank. Equal to the
+ device width times the number of interleaved chips.
+ - device-width : (optional) Width of a single flash chip. If
+ omitted, assumed to be equal to 'bank-width'.
+ - #address-cells, #size-cells : Must be present if the flash has
+ sub-nodes representing partitions (see below). In this case
+ both #address-cells and #size-cells must be equal to 1.
+
+ For JEDEC compatible devices, the following additional properties
+ are defined:
+
+ - vendor-id : Contains the flash chip's vendor id (1 byte).
+ - device-id : Contains the flash chip's device id (1 byte).
+
+ In addition to the information on the flash bank itself, the
+ device tree may optionally contain additional information
+ describing partitions of the flash address space. This can be
+ used on platforms which have strong conventions about which
+ portions of the flash are used for what purposes, but which don't
+ use an on-flash partition table such as RedBoot.
+
+ Each partition is represented as a sub-node of the flash device.
+ Each node's name represents the name of the corresponding
+ partition of the flash device.
+
+ Flash partitions
+ - reg : The partition's offset and size within the flash bank.
+ - label : (optional) The label / name for this flash partition.
+ If omitted, the label is taken from the node name (excluding
+ the unit address).
+ - read-only : (optional) This parameter, if present, is a hint to
+ Linux that this flash partition should only be mounted
+ read-only. This is usually used for flash partitions
+ containing early-boot firmware images or data which should not
+ be clobbered.

+
+ viii) Multi-User RAM (MURAM)
+
+ The multi-user/dual-ported RAM is expressed as a bus under the CPM node.
+
+ Ranges must be set up subject to the following restrictions:
+
+ - Children's reg nodes must be offsets from the start of all muram, even
+ if the user-data area does not begin at zero.
+ - If multiple range entries are used, the difference between the parent
+ address and the child address must be the same in all, so that a single
+ mapping can cover them all while maintaining the ability to determine
+ CPM-side offsets with pointer subtraction. It is recommended that
+ multiple range entries not be used.
+ - A child address of zero must be translatable, even if no reg resources
+ contain it.
+
+ A child "data" node must exist, compatible with "fsl,cpm-muram-data", to
+ indicate the portion of muram that is usable by the OS for arbitrary
+ purposes. The data node may have an arbitrary number of reg resources,
+ all of which contribute to the allocatable muram pool.
+
+ Example, based on mpc8272:
+
+ muram@0 {
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <1>;
+ ranges = <0 0 10000>;
+
+ data@0 {
+ compatible = "fsl,cpm-muram-data";
+ reg = <0 2000 9800 800>;
+ };
+ };
+
+ m) Chipselect/Local Bus
+
+ Properties:
+ - name : Should be localbus
+ - #address-cells : Should be either two or three. The first cell is the
+ chipselect number, and the remaining cells are the
+ offset into the chipselect.
+ - #size-cells : Either one or two, depending on how large each chipselect
+ can be.
+ - ranges : Each range corresponds to a single chipselect, and cover
+ the entire access window as configured.
+
+ Example:
+ localbus@f0010100 {
+ compatible = "fsl,mpc8272ads-localbus",
+ "fsl,mpc8272-localbus",
+ "fsl,pq2-localbus";
+ #address-cells = <2>;
+ #size-cells = <1>;
+ reg = <f0010100 40>;
+
+ ranges = <0 0 fe000000 02000000
+ 1 0 f4500000 00008000>;

+ compatible = "jedec-flash";
+ reg = <0 0 2000000>;
+ bank-width = <4>;
+ device-width = <1>;
+ };

+
+ n) 4xx/Axon EMAC ethernet nodes
+
+ The EMAC ethernet controller in IBM and AMCC 4xx chips, and also
+ the Axon bridge. To operate this needs to interact with a ths
+ special McMAL DMA controller, and sometimes an RGMII or ZMII
+ interface. In addition to the nodes and properties described
+ below, the node for the OPB bus on which the EMAC sits must have a
+ correct clock-frequency property.
+
+ i) The EMAC node itself
+
+ Required properties:
+ - device_type : "network"
+
+ - compatible : compatible list, contains 2 entries, first is
+ "ibm,emac-CHIP" where CHIP is the host ASIC (440gx,
+ 405gp, Axon) and second is either "ibm,emac" or
+ "ibm,emac4". For Axon, thus, we have: "ibm,emac-axon",
+ "ibm,emac4"
+ - interrupts : <interrupt mapping for EMAC IRQ and WOL IRQ>

+ For Axon, 0x00000010
+ - mal-burst-size : 1 cell, MAL burst size (used to calculate thresholds)
+ in bytes.
+ For Axon, 0x00000100 (I think ...)
+ - phy-mode : string, mode of operations of the PHY interface.
+ Supported values are: "mii", "rmii", "smii", "rgmii",
+ "tbi", "gmii", rtbi", "sgmii".
+ For Axon on CAB, it is "rgmii"
+ - mdio-device : 1 cell, required iff using shared MDIO registers
+ (440EP). phandle of the EMAC to use to drive the
+ MDIO lines for the PHY used by this EMAC.

+ RGMII channel is used by this EMAC.
+ Fox Axon: present, whatever value is appropriate for each
+ EMAC, that is the content of the current (bogus) "phy-port"
+ property.
+
+ Recommended properties:
+ - linux,network-index : This is the intended "index" of this
+ network device. This is used by the bootwrapper to interpret
+ MAC addresses passed by the firmware when no information other
+ than indices is available to associate an address with a device.
+
+ Optional properties:
+ - phy-address : 1 cell, optional, MDIO address of the PHY. If absent,
+ a search is performed.
+ - phy-map : 1 cell, optional, bitmap of addresses to probe the PHY
+ for, used if phy-address is absent. bit 0x00000001 is
+ MDIO address 0.
+ For Axon it can be absent, thouugh my current driver
+ doesn't handle phy-address yet so for now, keep
+ 0x00ffffff in it.
+ - rx-fifo-size-gige : 1 cell, Rx fifo size in bytes for 1000 Mb/sec
+ operations (if absent the value is the same as

+rfkill - RF switch subsystem support
+====================================
+
+1 Implementation details
+2 Driver support
+3 Userspace support
+
+===============================================================================
+1: Implementation details
+
+The rfkill switch subsystem offers support for keys often found on laptops
+to enable wireless devices like WiFi and Bluetooth.
+
+This is done by providing the user 3 possibilities:
+ 1 - The rfkill system handles all events; userspace is not aware of events.
+ 2 - The rfkill system handles all events; userspace is informed about the events.
+ 3 - The rfkill system does not handle events; userspace handles all events.
+
+The buttons to enable and disable the wireless radios are important in
+situations where the user is for example using his laptop on a location where
+wireless radios _must_ be disabled (e.g. airplanes).
+Because of this requirement, userspace support for the keys should not be
+made mandatory. Because userspace might want to perform some additional smarter
+tasks when the key is pressed, rfkill still provides userspace the possibility
+to take over the task to handle the key events.
+
+The system inside the kernel has been split into 2 separate sections:
+ 1 - RFKILL
+ 2 - RFKILL_INPUT
+
+The first option enables rfkill support and will make sure userspace will
+be notified of any events through the input device. It also creates several
+sysfs entries which can be used by userspace. See section "Userspace support".
+
+The second option provides an rfkill input handler. This handler will
+listen to all rfkill key events and will toggle the radio accordingly.
+With this option enabled userspace could either do nothing or simply
+perform monitoring tasks.
+
+====================================
+2: Driver support
+
+To build a driver with rfkill subsystem support, the driver should
+depend on the Kconfig symbol RFKILL; it should _not_ depend on
+RKFILL_INPUT.
+
+Unless key events trigger an interrupt to which the driver listens, polling
+will be required to determine the key state changes. For this the input
+layer providers the input-polldev handler.
+
+A driver should implement a few steps to correctly make use of the
+rfkill subsystem. First for non-polling drivers:
+
+ - rfkill_allocate()
+ - input_allocate_device()
+ - rfkill_register()
+ - input_register_device()
+
+For polling drivers:
+
+ - rfkill_allocate()
+ - input_allocate_polled_device()
+ - rfkill_register()
+ - input_register_polled_device()
+
+When a key event has been detected, the correct event should be
+sent over the input device which has been registered by the driver.
+
+====================================
+3: Userspace support
+
+For each key an input device will be created which will send out the correct
+key event when the rfkill key has been pressed.
+
+The following sysfs entries will be created:
+
+ name: Name assigned by driver to this key (interface or driver name).
+ type: Name of the key type ("wlan", "bluetooth", etc).
+ state: Current state of the key. 1: On, 0: Off.
+ claim: 1: Userspace handles events, 0: Kernel handles events
+
+Both the "state" and "claim" entries are also writable. For the "state" entry
+this means that when 1 or 0 is written all radios, not yet in the requested
+state, will be will be toggled accordingly.
+For the "claim" entry writing 1 to it means that the kernel no longer handles
+key events even though RFKILL_INPUT input was enabled. When "claim" has been
+set to 0, userspace should make sure that it listens for the input events or
+check the sysfs "state" entry regularly to correctly perform the required
+tasks when the rkfill key is pressed.

+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.

+Authorizing (or not) your USB devices to connect to the system
+
+(C) 2007 Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com> Intel Corporation
+
+This feature allows you to control if a USB device can be used (or
+not) in a system. This feature will allow you to implement a lock-down
+of USB devices, fully controlled by user space.
+
+As of now, when a USB device is connected it is configured and
+it's interfaces inmediately made available to the users. With this
+modification, only if root authorizes the device to be configured will
+then it be possible to use it.
+
+Usage:
+
+Authorize a device to connect:
+
+$ echo 1 > /sys/usb/devices/DEVICE/authorized
+
+Deauthorize a device:
+
+$ echo 0 > /sys/usb/devices/DEVICE/authorized
+
+Set new devices connected to hostX to be deauthorized by default (ie:
+lock down):
+
+$ echo 0 > /sys/bus/devices/usbX/authorized_default
+
+Remove the lock down:
+
+$ echo 1 > /sys/bus/devices/usbX/authorized_default
+
+By default, Wired USB devices are authorized by default to
+connect. Wireless USB hosts deauthorize by default all new connected
+devices (this is so because we need to do an authentication phase
+before authorizing).
+
+
+Example system lockdown (lame)
+-----------------------
+
+Imagine you want to implement a lockdown so only devices of type XYZ
+can be connected (for example, it is a kiosk machine with a visible
+USB port):
+
+boot up
+rc.local ->
+
+ for host in /sys/bus/devices/usb*
+ do
+ echo 0 > $host/authorized_default
+ done
+
+Hookup an script to udev, for new USB devices
+
+ if device_is_my_type $DEV
+ then
+ echo 1 > $device_path/authorized
+ done
+
+
+Now, device_is_my_type() is where the juice for a lockdown is. Just
+checking if the class, type and protocol match something is the worse
+security verification you can make (or the best, for someone willing
+to break it). If you need something secure, use crypto and Certificate
+Authentication or stuff like that. Something simple for an storage key
+could be:
+
+function device_is_my_type()
+{
+ echo 1 > authorized # temporarily authorize it
+ # FIXME: make sure none can mount it
+ mount DEVICENODE /mntpoint
+ sum=$(md5sum /mntpoint/.signature)
+ if [ $sum = $(cat /etc/lockdown/keysum) ]
+ then
+ echo "We are good, connected"
+ umount /mntpoint
+ # Other stuff so others can use it
+ else
+ echo 0 > authorized
+ fi
+}
+
+
+Of course, this is lame, you'd want to do a real certificate
+verification stuff with PKI, so you don't depend on a shared secret,
+etc, but you get the idea. Anybody with access to a device gadget kit
+can fake descriptors and device info. Don't trust that. You are
+welcome.

+ Power Management for USB
+
+ Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
+
+ October 5, 2007
+
+
+
+ What is Power Management?
+ -------------------------
+
+Power Management (PM) is the practice of saving energy by suspending
+parts of a computer system when they aren't being used. While a
+component is "suspended" it is in a nonfunctional low-power state; it
+might even be turned off completely. A suspended component can be
+"resumed" (returned to a functional full-power state) when the kernel
+needs to use it. (There also are forms of PM in which components are
+placed in a less functional but still usable state instead of being
+suspended; an example would be reducing the CPU's clock rate. This
+document will not discuss those other forms.)
+
+When the parts being suspended include the CPU and most of the rest of
+the system, we speak of it as a "system suspend". When a particular
+device is turned off while the system as a whole remains running, we
+call it a "dynamic suspend" (also known as a "runtime suspend" or
+"selective suspend"). This document concentrates mostly on how
+dynamic PM is implemented in the USB subsystem, although system PM is
+covered to some extent (see Documentation/power/*.txt for more
+information about system PM).
+
+Note: Dynamic PM support for USB is present only if the kernel was
+built with CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND enabled. System PM support is present
+only if the kernel was built with CONFIG_SUSPEND or CONFIG_HIBERNATION
+enabled.
+
+
+ What is Remote Wakeup?
+ ----------------------
+
+When a device has been suspended, it generally doesn't resume until
+the computer tells it to. Likewise, if the entire computer has been
+suspended, it generally doesn't resume until the user tells it to, say
+by pressing a power button or opening the cover.
+
+However some devices have the capability of resuming by themselves, or
+asking the kernel to resume them, or even telling the entire computer
+to resume. This capability goes by several names such as "Wake On
+LAN"; we will refer to it generically as "remote wakeup". When a
+device is enabled for remote wakeup and it is suspended, it may resume
+itself (or send a request to be resumed) in response to some external
+event. Examples include a suspended keyboard resuming when a key is
+pressed, or a suspended USB hub resuming when a device is plugged in.
+
+
+ When is a USB device idle?
+ --------------------------
+
+A device is idle whenever the kernel thinks it's not busy doing
+anything important and thus is a candidate for being suspended. The
+exact definition depends on the device's driver; drivers are allowed
+to declare that a device isn't idle even when there's no actual
+communication taking place. (For example, a hub isn't considered idle
+unless all the devices plugged into that hub are already suspended.)
+In addition, a device isn't considered idle so long as a program keeps
+its usbfs file open, whether or not any I/O is going on.
+
+If a USB device has no driver, its usbfs file isn't open, and it isn't
+being accessed through sysfs, then it definitely is idle.
+
+
+ Forms of dynamic PM
+ -------------------
+
+Dynamic suspends can occur in two ways: manual and automatic.
+"Manual" means that the user has told the kernel to suspend a device,
+whereas "automatic" means that the kernel has decided all by itself to
+suspend a device. Automatic suspend is called "autosuspend" for
+short. In general, a device won't be autosuspended unless it has been
+idle for some minimum period of time, the so-called idle-delay time.
+
+Of course, nothing the kernel does on its own initiative should
+prevent the computer or its devices from working properly. If a
+device has been autosuspended and a program tries to use it, the
+kernel will automatically resume the device (autoresume). For the
+same reason, an autosuspended device will usually have remote wakeup
+enabled, if the device supports remote wakeup.
+
+It is worth mentioning that many USB drivers don't support
+autosuspend. In fact, at the time of this writing (Linux 2.6.23) the
+only drivers which do support it are the hub driver, kaweth, asix,
+usblp, usblcd, and usb-skeleton (which doesn't count). If a
+non-supporting driver is bound to a device, the device won't be
+autosuspended. In effect, the kernel pretends the device is never
+idle.
+
+We can categorize power management events in two broad classes:
+external and internal. External events are those triggered by some
+agent outside the USB stack: system suspend/resume (triggered by
+userspace), manual dynamic suspend/resume (also triggered by
+userspace), and remote wakeup (triggered by the device). Internal
+events are those triggered within the USB stack: autosuspend and
+autoresume.
+
+
+ The user interface for dynamic PM
+ ---------------------------------
+
+The user interface for controlling dynamic PM is located in the power/
+subdirectory of each USB device's sysfs directory, that is, in
+/sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/ where "..." is the device's ID. The
+relevant attribute files are: wakeup, level, and autosuspend.
+
+ power/wakeup
+
+ This file is empty if the device does not support
+ remote wakeup. Otherwise the file contains either the
+ word "enabled" or the word "disabled", and you can
+ write those words to the file. The setting determines
+ whether or not remote wakeup will be enabled when the
+ device is next suspended. (If the setting is changed
+ while the device is suspended, the change won't take
+ effect until the following suspend.)
+
+ power/level
+
+ This file contains one of three words: "on", "auto",
+ or "suspend". You can write those words to the file
+ to change the device's setting.
+
+ "on" means that the device should be resumed and
+ autosuspend is not allowed. (Of course, system
+ suspends are still allowed.)
+
+ "auto" is the normal state in which the kernel is
+ allowed to autosuspend and autoresume the device.
+
+ "suspend" means that the device should remain
+ suspended, and autoresume is not allowed. (But remote
+ wakeup may still be allowed, since it is controlled
+ separately by the power/wakeup attribute.)
+
+ power/autosuspend
+
+ This file contains an integer value, which is the
+ number of seconds the device should remain idle before
+ the kernel will autosuspend it (the idle-delay time).
+ The default is 2. 0 means to autosuspend as soon as
+ the device becomes idle, and -1 means never to
+ autosuspend. You can write a number to the file to
+ change the autosuspend idle-delay time.
+
+Writing "-1" to power/autosuspend and writing "on" to power/level do
+essentially the same thing -- they both prevent the device from being
+autosuspended. Yes, this is a redundancy in the API.
+
+(In 2.6.21 writing "0" to power/autosuspend would prevent the device
+from being autosuspended; the behavior was changed in 2.6.22. The
+power/autosuspend attribute did not exist prior to 2.6.21, and the
+power/level attribute did not exist prior to 2.6.22.)
+
+
+ Changing the default idle-delay time
+ ------------------------------------
+
+The default autosuspend idle-delay time is controlled by a module
+parameter in usbcore. You can specify the value when usbcore is
+loaded. For example, to set it to 5 seconds instead of 2 you would
+do:
+
+ modprobe usbcore autosuspend=5
+
+Equivalently, you could add to /etc/modprobe.conf a line saying:
+
+ options usbcore autosuspend=5
+
+Some distributions load the usbcore module very early during the boot
+process, by means of a program or script running from an initramfs
+image. To alter the parameter value you would have to rebuild that
+image.
+
+If usbcore is compiled into the kernel rather than built as a loadable
+module, you can add
+
+ usbcore.autosuspend=5
+
+to the kernel's boot command line.
+
+Finally, the parameter value can be changed while the system is
+running. If you do:
+
+ echo 5 >/sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend
+
+then each new USB device will have its autosuspend idle-delay
+initialized to 5. (The idle-delay values for already existing devices
+will not be affected.)
+
+Setting the initial default idle-delay to -1 will prevent any
+autosuspend of any USB device. This is a simple alternative to
+disabling CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND and rebuilding the kernel, and it has the
+added benefit of allowing you to enable autosuspend for selected
+devices.
+
+
+ Warnings
+ --------
+
+The USB specification states that all USB devices must support power
+management. Nevertheless, the sad fact is that many devices do not
+support it very well. You can suspend them all right, but when you
+try to resume them they disconnect themselves from the USB bus or
+they stop working entirely. This seems to be especially prevalent
+among printers and scanners, but plenty of other types of device have
+the same deficiency.
+
+For this reason, by default the kernel disables autosuspend (the
+power/level attribute is initialized to "on") for all devices other
+than hubs. Hubs, at least, appear to be reasonably well-behaved in
+this regard.
+
+(In 2.6.21 and 2.6.22 this wasn't the case. Autosuspend was enabled
+by default for almost all USB devices. A number of people experienced
+problems as a result.)
+
+This means that non-hub devices won't be autosuspended unless the user
+or a program explicitly enables it. As of this writing there aren't
+any widespread programs which will do this; we hope that in the near
+future device managers such as HAL will take on this added
+responsibility. In the meantime you can always carry out the
+necessary operations by hand or add them to a udev script. You can
+also change the idle-delay time; 2 seconds is not the best choice for
+every device.
+
+Sometimes it turns out that even when a device does work okay with
+autosuspend there are still problems. For example, there are
+experimental patches adding autosuspend support to the usbhid driver,
+which manages keyboards and mice, among other things. Tests with a
+number of keyboards showed that typing on a suspended keyboard, while
+causing the keyboard to do a remote wakeup all right, would
+nonetheless frequently result in lost keystrokes. Tests with mice
+showed that some of them would issue a remote-wakeup request in
+response to button presses but not to motion, and some in response to
+neither.
+
+The kernel will not prevent you from enabling autosuspend on devices
+that can't handle it. It is even possible in theory to damage a
+device by suspending it at the wrong time -- for example, suspending a
+USB hard disk might cause it to spin down without parking the heads.
+(Highly unlikely, but possible.) Take care.
+
+
+ The driver interface for Power Management
+ -----------------------------------------
+
+The requirements for a USB driver to support external power management
+are pretty modest; the driver need only define
+
+ .suspend
+ .resume
+ .reset_resume
+
+methods in its usb_driver structure, and the reset_resume method is
+optional. The methods' jobs are quite simple:
+
+ The suspend method is called to warn the driver that the
+ device is going to be suspended. If the driver returns a
+ negative error code, the suspend will be aborted. Normally
+ the driver will return 0, in which case it must cancel all
+ outstanding URBs (usb_kill_urb()) and not submit any more.
+
+ The resume method is called to tell the driver that the
+ device has been resumed and the driver can return to normal
+ operation. URBs may once more be submitted.
+
+ The reset_resume method is called to tell the driver that
+ the device has been resumed and it also has been reset.
+ The driver should redo any necessary device initialization,
+ since the device has probably lost most or all of its state
+ (although the interfaces will be in the same altsettings as
+ before the suspend).
+
+The reset_resume method is used by the USB Persist facility (see
+Documentation/usb/persist.txt) and it can also be used under certain
+circumstances when CONFIG_USB_PERSIST is not enabled. Currently, if a
+device is reset during a resume and the driver does not have a
+reset_resume method, the driver won't receive any notification about
+the resume. Later kernels will call the driver's disconnect method;
+2.6.23 doesn't do this.
+
+USB drivers are bound to interfaces, so their suspend and resume
+methods get called when the interfaces are suspended or resumed. In
+principle one might want to suspend some interfaces on a device (i.e.,
+force the drivers for those interface to stop all activity) without
+suspending the other interfaces. The USB core doesn't allow this; all
+interfaces are suspended when the device itself is suspended and all
+interfaces are resumed when the device is resumed. It isn't possible
+to suspend or resume some but not all of a device's interfaces. The
+closest you can come is to unbind the interfaces' drivers.
+
+
+ The driver interface for autosuspend and autoresume
+ ---------------------------------------------------
+
+To support autosuspend and autoresume, a driver should implement all
+three of the methods listed above. In addition, a driver indicates
+that it supports autosuspend by setting the .supports_autosuspend flag
+in its usb_driver structure. It is then responsible for informing the
+USB core whenever one of its interfaces becomes busy or idle. The
+driver does so by calling these three functions:
+
+ int usb_autopm_get_interface(struct usb_interface *intf);
+ void usb_autopm_put_interface(struct usb_interface *intf);
+ int usb_autopm_set_interface(struct usb_interface *intf);
+
+The functions work by maintaining a counter in the usb_interface
+structure. When intf->pm_usage_count is > 0 then the interface is
+deemed to be busy, and the kernel will not autosuspend the interface's
+device. When intf->pm_usage_count is <= 0 then the interface is
+considered to be idle, and the kernel may autosuspend the device.
+
+(There is a similar pm_usage_count field in struct usb_device,
+associated with the device itself rather than any of its interfaces.
+This field is used only by the USB core.)
+
+The driver owns intf->pm_usage_count; it can modify the value however
+and whenever it likes. A nice aspect of the usb_autopm_* routines is
+that the changes they make are protected by the usb_device structure's
+PM mutex (udev->pm_mutex); however drivers may change pm_usage_count
+without holding the mutex.
+
+ usb_autopm_get_interface() increments pm_usage_count and
+ attempts an autoresume if the new value is > 0 and the
+ device is suspended.
+
+ usb_autopm_put_interface() decrements pm_usage_count and
+ attempts an autosuspend if the new value is <= 0 and the
+ device isn't suspended.
+
+ usb_autopm_set_interface() leaves pm_usage_count alone.
+ It attempts an autoresume if the value is > 0 and the device
+ is suspended, and it attempts an autosuspend if the value is
+ <= 0 and the device isn't suspended.
+
+There also are a couple of utility routines drivers can use:
+
+ usb_autopm_enable() sets pm_usage_cnt to 1 and then calls
+ usb_autopm_set_interface(), which will attempt an autoresume.
+
+ usb_autopm_disable() sets pm_usage_cnt to 0 and then calls
+ usb_autopm_set_interface(), which will attempt an autosuspend.
+
+The conventional usage pattern is that a driver calls
+usb_autopm_get_interface() in its open routine and
+usb_autopm_put_interface() in its close or release routine. But
+other patterns are possible.
+
+The autosuspend attempts mentioned above will often fail for one
+reason or another. For example, the power/level attribute might be
+set to "on", or another interface in the same device might not be
+idle. This is perfectly normal. If the reason for failure was that
+the device hasn't been idle for long enough, a delayed workqueue
+routine is automatically set up to carry out the operation when the
+autosuspend idle-delay has expired.
+
+Autoresume attempts also can fail. This will happen if power/level is
+set to "suspend" or if the device doesn't manage to resume properly.
+Unlike autosuspend, there's no delay for an autoresume.
+
+
+ Other parts of the driver interface
+ -----------------------------------
+
+Sometimes a driver needs to make sure that remote wakeup is enabled
+during autosuspend. For example, there's not much point
+autosuspending a keyboard if the user can't cause the keyboard to do a
+remote wakeup by typing on it. If the driver sets
+intf->needs_remote_wakeup to 1, the kernel won't autosuspend the
+device if remote wakeup isn't available or has been disabled through
+the power/wakeup attribute. (If the device is already autosuspended,
+though, setting this flag won't cause the kernel to autoresume it.
+Normally a driver would set this flag in its probe method, at which
+time the device is guaranteed not to be autosuspended.)
+
+The usb_autopm_* routines have to run in a sleepable process context;
+they must not be called from an interrupt handler or while holding a
+spinlock. In fact, the entire autosuspend mechanism is not well geared
+toward interrupt-driven operation. However there is one thing a
+driver can do in an interrupt handler:
+
+ usb_mark_last_busy(struct usb_device *udev);
+
+This sets udev->last_busy to the current time. udev->last_busy is the
+field used for idle-delay calculations; updating it will cause any
+pending autosuspend to be moved back. The usb_autopm_* routines will
+also set the last_busy field to the current time.
+
+Calling urb_mark_last_busy() from within an URB completion handler is
+subject to races: The kernel may have just finished deciding the
+device has been idle for long enough but not yet gotten around to
+calling the driver's suspend method. The driver would have to be
+responsible for synchronizing its suspend method with its URB
+completion handler and causing the autosuspend to fail with -EBUSY if
+an URB had completed too recently.
+
+External suspend calls should never be allowed to fail in this way,
+only autosuspend calls. The driver can tell them apart by checking
+udev->auto_pm; this flag will be set to 1 for internal PM events
+(autosuspend or autoresume) and 0 for external PM events.
+
+Many of the ingredients in the autosuspend framework are oriented
+towards interfaces: The usb_interface structure contains the
+pm_usage_cnt field, and the usb_autopm_* routines take an interface
+pointer as their argument. But somewhat confusingly, a few of the
+pieces (usb_mark_last_busy() and udev->auto_pm) use the usb_device
+structure instead. Drivers need to keep this straight; they can call
+interface_to_usbdev() to find the device structure for a given
+interface.
+
+
+ Locking requirements
+ --------------------
+
+All three suspend/resume methods are always called while holding the
+usb_device's PM mutex. For external events -- but not necessarily for
+autosuspend or autoresume -- the device semaphore (udev->dev.sem) will
+also be held. This implies that external suspend/resume events are
+mutually exclusive with calls to probe, disconnect, pre_reset, and
+post_reset; the USB core guarantees that this is true of internal
+suspend/resume events as well.
+
+If a driver wants to block all suspend/resume calls during some
+critical section, it can simply acquire udev->pm_mutex.
+Alternatively, if the critical section might call some of the
+usb_autopm_* routines, the driver can avoid deadlock by doing:
+
+ down(&udev->dev.sem);
+ rc = usb_autopm_get_interface(intf);
+
+and at the end of the critical section:
+
+ if (!rc)
+ usb_autopm_put_interface(intf);
+ up(&udev->dev.sem);
+
+Holding the device semaphore will block all external PM calls, and the
+usb_autopm_get_interface() will prevent any internal PM calls, even if
+it fails. (Exercise: Why?)
+
+The rules for locking order are:
+
+ Never acquire any device semaphore while holding any PM mutex.
+
+ Never acquire udev->pm_mutex while holding the PM mutex for
+ a device that isn't a descendant of udev.
+
+In other words, PM mutexes should only be acquired going up the device
+tree, and they should be acquired only after locking all the device
+semaphores you need to hold. These rules don't matter to drivers very
+much; they usually affect just the USB core.
+
+Still, drivers do need to be careful. For example, many drivers use a
+private mutex to synchronize their normal I/O activities with their
+disconnect method. Now if the driver supports autosuspend then it
+must call usb_autopm_put_interface() from somewhere -- maybe from its
+close method. It should make the call while holding the private mutex,
+since a driver shouldn't call any of the usb_autopm_* functions for an
+interface from which it has been unbound.
+
+But the usb_autpm_* routines always acquire the device's PM mutex, and
+consequently the locking order has to be: private mutex first, PM
+mutex second. Since the suspend method is always called with the PM
+mutex held, it mustn't try to acquire the private mutex. It has to
+synchronize with the driver's I/O activities in some other way.
+
+
+ Interaction between dynamic PM and system PM
+ --------------------------------------------
+
+Dynamic power management and system power management can interact in
+a couple of ways.
+
+Firstly, a device may already be manually suspended or autosuspended
+when a system suspend occurs. Since system suspends are supposed to
+be as transparent as possible, the device should remain suspended
+following the system resume. The 2.6.23 kernel obeys this principle
+for manually suspended devices but not for autosuspended devices; they
+do get resumed when the system wakes up. (Presumably they will be
+autosuspended again after their idle-delay time expires.) In later
+kernels this behavior will be fixed.
+
+(There is an exception. If a device would undergo a reset-resume
+instead of a normal resume, and the device is enabled for remote
+wakeup, then the reset-resume takes place even if the device was
+already suspended when the system suspend began. The justification is
+that a reset-resume is a kind of remote-wakeup event. Or to put it
+another way, a device which needs a reset won't be able to generate
+normal remote-wakeup signals, so it ought to be resumed immediately.)
+
+Secondly, a dynamic power-management event may occur as a system
+suspend is underway. The window for this is short, since system
+suspends don't take long (a few seconds usually), but it can happen.
+For example, a suspended device may send a remote-wakeup signal while
+the system is suspending. The remote wakeup may succeed, which would
+cause the system suspend to abort. If the remote wakeup doesn't
+succeed, it may still remain active and thus cause the system to
+resume as soon as the system suspend is complete. Or the remote
+wakeup may fail and get lost. Which outcome occurs depends on timing
+and on the hardware and firmware design.
+
+More interestingly, a device might undergo a manual resume or
+autoresume during system suspend. With current kernels this shouldn't
+happen, because manual resumes must be initiated by userspace and
+autoresumes happen in response to I/O requests, but all user processes
+and I/O should be quiescent during a system suspend -- thanks to the
+freezer. However there are plans to do away with the freezer, which
+would mean these things would become possible. If and when this comes
+about, the USB core will carefully arrange matters so that either type
+of resume will block until the entire system has resumed.

+What is Linux Memory Policy?
+
+In the Linux kernel, "memory policy" determines from which node the kernel will
+allocate memory in a NUMA system or in an emulated NUMA system. Linux has
+supported platforms with Non-Uniform Memory Access architectures since 2.4.?.
+The current memory policy support was added to Linux 2.6 around May 2004. This
+document attempts to describe the concepts and APIs of the 2.6 memory policy
+support.
+
+Memory policies should not be confused with cpusets (Documentation/cpusets.txt)
+which is an administrative mechanism for restricting the nodes from which
+memory may be allocated by a set of processes. Memory policies are a
+programming interface that a NUMA-aware application can take advantage of. When
+both cpusets and policies are applied to a task, the restrictions of the cpuset
+takes priority. See "MEMORY POLICIES AND CPUSETS" below for more details.
+
+MEMORY POLICY CONCEPTS
+
+Scope of Memory Policies
+
+The Linux kernel supports _scopes_ of memory policy, described here from
+most general to most specific:
+
+ System Default Policy: this policy is "hard coded" into the kernel. It
+ is the policy that governs all page allocations that aren't controlled
+ by one of the more specific policy scopes discussed below. When the
+ system is "up and running", the system default policy will use "local
+ allocation" described below. However, during boot up, the system
+ default policy will be set to interleave allocations across all nodes
+ with "sufficient" memory, so as not to overload the initial boot node
+ with boot-time allocations.
+
+ Task/Process Policy: this is an optional, per-task policy. When defined
+ for a specific task, this policy controls all page allocations made by or
+ on behalf of the task that aren't controlled by a more specific scope.
+ If a task does not define a task policy, then all page allocations that
+ would have been controlled by the task policy "fall back" to the System
+ Default Policy.
+
+ The task policy applies to the entire address space of a task. Thus,
+ it is inheritable, and indeed is inherited, across both fork()
+ [clone() w/o the CLONE_VM flag] and exec*(). This allows a parent task
+ to establish the task policy for a child task exec()'d from an
+ executable image that has no awareness of memory policy. See the
+ MEMORY POLICY APIS section, below, for an overview of the system call
+ that a task may use to set/change it's task/process policy.
+
+ In a multi-threaded task, task policies apply only to the thread
+ [Linux kernel task] that installs the policy and any threads
+ subsequently created by that thread. Any sibling threads existing
+ at the time a new task policy is installed retain their current
+ policy.
+
+ A task policy applies only to pages allocated after the policy is
+ installed. Any pages already faulted in by the task when the task
+ changes its task policy remain where they were allocated based on
+ the policy at the time they were allocated.
+
+ VMA Policy: A "VMA" or "Virtual Memory Area" refers to a range of a task's
+ virtual adddress space. A task may define a specific policy for a range
+ of its virtual address space. See the MEMORY POLICIES APIS section,
+ below, for an overview of the mbind() system call used to set a VMA
+ policy.
+
+ A VMA policy will govern the allocation of pages that back this region of
+ the address space. Any regions of the task's address space that don't
+ have an explicit VMA policy will fall back to the task policy, which may
+ itself fall back to the System Default Policy.
+
+ VMA policies have a few complicating details:
+
+ VMA policy applies ONLY to anonymous pages. These include pages
+ allocated for anonymous segments, such as the task stack and heap, and
+ any regions of the address space mmap()ed with the MAP_ANONYMOUS flag.
+ If a VMA policy is applied to a file mapping, it will be ignored if
+ the mapping used the MAP_SHARED flag. If the file mapping used the
+ MAP_PRIVATE flag, the VMA policy will only be applied when an
+ anonymous page is allocated on an attempt to write to the mapping--
+ i.e., at Copy-On-Write.
+
+ VMA policies are shared between all tasks that share a virtual address
+ space--a.k.a. threads--independent of when the policy is installed; and
+ they are inherited across fork(). However, because VMA policies refer
+ to a specific region of a task's address space, and because the address
+ space is discarded and recreated on exec*(), VMA policies are NOT
+ inheritable across exec(). Thus, only NUMA-aware applications may
+ use VMA policies.
+
+ A task may install a new VMA policy on a sub-range of a previously
+ mmap()ed region. When this happens, Linux splits the existing virtual
+ memory area into 2 or 3 VMAs, each with it's own policy.
+
+ By default, VMA policy applies only to pages allocated after the policy
+ is installed. Any pages already faulted into the VMA range remain
+ where they were allocated based on the policy at the time they were
+ allocated. However, since 2.6.16, Linux supports page migration via
+ the mbind() system call, so that page contents can be moved to match
+ a newly installed policy.
+
+ Shared Policy: Conceptually, shared policies apply to "memory objects"
+ mapped shared into one or more tasks' distinct address spaces. An
+ application installs a shared policies the same way as VMA policies--using
+ the mbind() system call specifying a range of virtual addresses that map
+ the shared object. However, unlike VMA policies, which can be considered
+ to be an attribute of a range of a task's address space, shared policies
+ apply directly to the shared object. Thus, all tasks that attach to the
+ object share the policy, and all pages allocated for the shared object,
+ by any task, will obey the shared policy.
+
+ As of 2.6.22, only shared memory segments, created by shmget() or
+ mmap(MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_SHARED), support shared policy. When shared
+ policy support was added to Linux, the associated data structures were
+ added to hugetlbfs shmem segments. At the time, hugetlbfs did not
+ support allocation at fault time--a.k.a lazy allocation--so hugetlbfs
+ shmem segments were never "hooked up" to the shared policy support.
+ Although hugetlbfs segments now support lazy allocation, their support
+ for shared policy has not been completed.
+
+ As mentioned above [re: VMA policies], allocations of page cache
+ pages for regular files mmap()ed with MAP_SHARED ignore any VMA
+ policy installed on the virtual address range backed by the shared
+ file mapping. Rather, shared page cache pages, including pages backing
+ private mappings that have not yet been written by the task, follow
+ task policy, if any, else System Default Policy.
+
+ The shared policy infrastructure supports different policies on subset
+ ranges of the shared object. However, Linux still splits the VMA of
+ the task that installs the policy for each range of distinct policy.
+ Thus, different tasks that attach to a shared memory segment can have
+ different VMA configurations mapping that one shared object. This
+ can be seen by examining the /proc/<pid>/numa_maps of tasks sharing
+ a shared memory region, when one task has installed shared policy on
+ one or more ranges of the region.
+
+Components of Memory Policies
+
+ A Linux memory policy is a tuple consisting of a "mode" and an optional set
+ of nodes. The mode determine the behavior of the policy, while the
+ optional set of nodes can be viewed as the arguments to the behavior.
+
+ Internally, memory policies are implemented by a reference counted
+ structure, struct mempolicy. Details of this structure will be discussed
+ in context, below, as required to explain the behavior.
+
+ Note: in some functions AND in the struct mempolicy itself, the mode
+ is called "policy". However, to avoid confusion with the policy tuple,
+ this document will continue to use the term "mode".
+
+ Linux memory policy supports the following 4 behavioral modes:
+
+ Default Mode--MPOL_DEFAULT: The behavior specified by this mode is
+ context or scope dependent.
+
+ As mentioned in the Policy Scope section above, during normal
+ system operation, the System Default Policy is hard coded to
+ contain the Default mode.
+
+ In this context, default mode means "local" allocation--that is
+ attempt to allocate the page from the node associated with the cpu
+ where the fault occurs. If the "local" node has no memory, or the
+ node's memory can be exhausted [no free pages available], local
+ allocation will "fallback to"--attempt to allocate pages from--
+ "nearby" nodes, in order of increasing "distance".
+
+ Implementation detail -- subject to change: "Fallback" uses
+ a per node list of sibling nodes--called zonelists--built at
+ boot time, or when nodes or memory are added or removed from
+ the system [memory hotplug]. These per node zonelist are
+ constructed with nodes in order of increasing distance based
+ on information provided by the platform firmware.
+
+ When a task/process policy or a shared policy contains the Default
+ mode, this also means "local allocation", as described above.
+
+ In the context of a VMA, Default mode means "fall back to task
+ policy"--which may or may not specify Default mode. Thus, Default
+ mode can not be counted on to mean local allocation when used
+ on a non-shared region of the address space. However, see
+ MPOL_PREFERRED below.
+
+ The Default mode does not use the optional set of nodes.
+
+ MPOL_BIND: This mode specifies that memory must come from the
+ set of nodes specified by the policy.
+
+ The memory policy APIs do not specify an order in which the nodes
+ will be searched. However, unlike "local allocation", the Bind
+ policy does not consider the distance between the nodes. Rather,
+ allocations will fallback to the nodes specified by the policy in
+ order of numeric node id. Like everything in Linux, this is subject
+ to change.
+
+ MPOL_PREFERRED: This mode specifies that the allocation should be
+ attempted from the single node specified in the policy. If that
+ allocation fails, the kernel will search other nodes, exactly as
+ it would for a local allocation that started at the preferred node
+ in increasing distance from the preferred node. "Local" allocation
+ policy can be viewed as a Preferred policy that starts at the node
+ containing the cpu where the allocation takes place.
+
+ Internally, the Preferred policy uses a single node--the
+ preferred_node member of struct mempolicy. A "distinguished
+ value of this preferred_node, currently '-1', is interpreted
+ as "the node containing the cpu where the allocation takes
+ place"--local allocation. This is the way to specify
+ local allocation for a specific range of addresses--i.e. for
+ VMA policies.
+
+ MPOL_INTERLEAVED: This mode specifies that page allocations be
+ interleaved, on a page granularity, across the nodes specified in
+ the policy. This mode also behaves slightly differently, based on
+ the context where it is used:
+
+ For allocation of anonymous pages and shared memory pages,
+ Interleave mode indexes the set of nodes specified by the policy
+ using the page offset of the faulting address into the segment
+ [VMA] containing the address modulo the number of nodes specified
+ by the policy. It then attempts to allocate a page, starting at
+ the selected node, as if the node had been specified by a Preferred
+ policy or had been selected by a local allocation. That is,
+ allocation will follow the per node zonelist.
+
+ For allocation of page cache pages, Interleave mode indexes the set
+ of nodes specified by the policy using a node counter maintained
+ per task. This counter wraps around to the lowest specified node
+ after it reaches the highest specified node. This will tend to
+ spread the pages out over the nodes specified by the policy based
+ on the order in which they are allocated, rather than based on any
+ page offset into an address range or file. During system boot up,
+ the temporary interleaved system default policy works in this
+ mode.
+
+MEMORY POLICY APIs
+
+Linux supports 3 system calls for controlling memory policy. These APIS
+always affect only the calling task, the calling task's address space, or
+some shared object mapped into the calling task's address space.
+
+ Note: the headers that define these APIs and the parameter data types
+ for user space applications reside in a package that is not part of
+ the Linux kernel. The kernel system call interfaces, with the 'sys_'
+ prefix, are defined in <linux/syscalls.h>; the mode and flag
+ definitions are defined in <linux/mempolicy.h>.
+
+Set [Task] Memory Policy:
+
+ long set_mempolicy(int mode, const unsigned long *nmask,
+ unsigned long maxnode);
+
+ Set's the calling task's "task/process memory policy" to mode
+ specified by the 'mode' argument and the set of nodes defined
+ by 'nmask'. 'nmask' points to a bit mask of node ids containing
+ at least 'maxnode' ids.
+
+ See the set_mempolicy(2) man page for more details
+
+
+Get [Task] Memory Policy or Related Information
+
+ long get_mempolicy(int *mode,
+ const unsigned long *nmask, unsigned long maxnode,
+ void *addr, int flags);
+
+ Queries the "task/process memory policy" of the calling task, or
+ the policy or location of a specified virtual address, depending
+ on the 'flags' argument.
+
+ See the get_mempolicy(2) man page for more details
+
+
+Install VMA/Shared Policy for a Range of Task's Address Space
+
+ long mbind(void *start, unsigned long len, int mode,
+ const unsigned long *nmask, unsigned long maxnode,
+ unsigned flags);
+
+ mbind() installs the policy specified by (mode, nmask, maxnodes) as
+ a VMA policy for the range of the calling task's address space
+ specified by the 'start' and 'len' arguments. Additional actions
+ may be requested via the 'flags' argument.
+
+ See the mbind(2) man page for more details.
+
+MEMORY POLICY COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
+
+Although not strictly part of the Linux implementation of memory policy,
+a command line tool, numactl(8), exists that allows one to:
+
++ set the task policy for a specified program via set_mempolicy(2), fork(2) and
+ exec(2)
+
++ set the shared policy for a shared memory segment via mbind(2)
+
+The numactl(8) tool is packages with the run-time version of the library
+containing the memory policy system call wrappers. Some distributions
+package the headers and compile-time libraries in a separate development
+package.
+
+
+MEMORY POLICIES AND CPUSETS
+
+Memory policies work within cpusets as described above. For memory policies
+that require a node or set of nodes, the nodes are restricted to the set of
+nodes whose memories are allowed by the cpuset constraints. If the
+intersection of the set of nodes specified for the policy and the set of nodes
+allowed by the cpuset is the empty set, the policy is considered invalid and
+cannot be installed.
+
+The interaction of memory policies and cpusets can be problematic for a
+couple of reasons:
+
+1) the memory policy APIs take physical node id's as arguments. However, the
+ memory policy APIs do not provide a way to determine what nodes are valid
+ in the context where the application is running. An application MAY consult
+ the cpuset file system [directly or via an out of tree, and not generally
+ available, libcpuset API] to obtain this information, but then the
+ application must be aware that it is running in a cpuset and use what are
+ intended primarily as administrative APIs.
+
+ However, as long as the policy specifies at least one node that is valid
+ in the controlling cpuset, the policy can be used.
+
+2) when tasks in two cpusets share access to a memory region, such as shared
+ memory segments created by shmget() of mmap() with the MAP_ANONYMOUS and
+ MAP_SHARED flags, and any of the tasks install shared policy on the region,
+ only nodes whose memories are allowed in both cpusets may be used in the
+ policies. Again, obtaining this information requires "stepping outside"
+ the memory policy APIs, as well as knowing in what cpusets other task might
+ be attaching to the shared region, to use the cpuset information.
+ Furthermore, if the cpusets' allowed memory sets are disjoint, "local"
+ allocation is the only valid policy.
