This offers a similar API to the kernel clock framework.

|
Consumer drivers use <link
|
||||||
|
linkend='API-regulator-get'>get</link> and <link
|
||||||
|
linkend='API-regulator-put'>put</link> operations to acquire and

regulator.

</para>
|

<para>
|

When requesting regulators consumers use symbolic names for their
|

supplies, such as "Vcc", which are mapped into actual regulator
|
||||||
|
devices by the machine interface.
|
||||||
|
</para>

A stub version of this API is provided when the regulator

<title>Enabling and disabling</title>

<para>
|
||||||
|
The regulator API provides reference counted enabling and
|
||||||
|
disabling of regulators. Consumer devices use the <function><link
|
||||||
|
linkend='API-regulator-enable'>regulator_enable</link></function>
|
||||||
|
and <function><link
|
||||||
|
linkend='API-regulator-disable'>regulator_disable</link>

|
</function> functions to enable and disable regulators. Calls
|
||||||
|
to the two functions must be balanced.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
Note that since multiple consumers may be using a regulator and
|
||||||
|
machine constraints may not allow the regulator to be disabled
|
||||||
|
there is no guarantee that calling
|
||||||
|
<function>regulator_disable</function> will actually cause the
|
||||||
|
supply provided by the regulator to be disabled. Consumer
|
||||||
|
drivers should assume that the regulator may be enabled at all
|
||||||
|
times.

<title>Configuration</title>
|

|
<para>
|
||||||
|
Some consumer devices may need to be able to dynamically
|
||||||
|
configure their supplies. For example, MMC drivers may need to
|
||||||
|
select the correct operating voltage for their cards. This may
|
||||||
|
be done while the regulator is enabled or disabled.

|

|
>regulator_set_current_limit</link>
|
||||||
|
</function> functions provide the primary interface for this.
|
||||||
|
Both take ranges of voltages and currents, supporting drivers
|
||||||
|
that do not require a specific value (eg, CPU frequency scaling
|
||||||
|
normally permits the CPU to use a wider range of supply
|
||||||
|
voltages at lower frequencies but does not require that the
|
||||||
|
supply voltage be lowered). Where an exact value is required
|
||||||
|
both minimum and maximum values should be identical.

also provides constraints definining the operations that

|
||||||
|
set. This is required since generally regulator devices will

offer more flexibility than it is safe to use on a given

system, for example supporting higher supply voltages than the

Sometimes there is hardware with memory-like regions that can not be
|
||||||
|
mapped with the technique described here, but there are still ways to
|
||||||
|
access them from userspace. The most common example are x86 ioports.
|
||||||
|
On x86 systems, userspace can access these ioports using
|
||||||
|
<function>ioperm()</function>, <function>iopl()</function>,
|
||||||
|
<function>inb()</function>, <function>outb()</function>, and similar
|
||||||
|
functions.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
Since these ioport regions can not be mapped, they will not appear under
|
||||||
|
<filename>/sys/class/uio/uioX/maps/</filename> like the normal memory
|
||||||
|
described above. Without information about the port regions a hardware
|
||||||
|
has to offer, it becomes difficult for the userspace part of the
|
||||||
|
driver to find out which ports belong to which UIO device.
|

<filename>/sys/class/uio/uioX/portio/</filename> was added. It only
|

|
exists if the driver wants to pass information about one or more port
|

|
regions to userspace. If that is the case, subdirectories named
|
||||||
|
<filename>port0</filename>, <filename>port1</filename>, and so on,

RCU and Unloadable Modules
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[Originally published in LWN Jan. 14, 2007: http://lwn.net/Articles/217484/]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
RCU (read-copy update) is a synchronization mechanism that can be thought
|
||||||
|
of as a replacement for read-writer locking (among other things), but with
|
||||||
|
very low-overhead readers that are immune to deadlock, priority inversion,
|
||||||
|
and unbounded latency. RCU read-side critical sections are delimited
|
||||||
|
by rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock(), which, in non-CONFIG_PREEMPT
|
||||||
|
kernels, generate no code whatsoever.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This means that RCU writers are unaware of the presence of concurrent
|
||||||
|
readers, so that RCU updates to shared data must be undertaken quite
|
||||||
|
carefully, leaving an old version of the data structure in place until all
|
||||||
|
pre-existing readers have finished. These old versions are needed because
|
||||||
|
such readers might hold a reference to them. RCU updates can therefore be
|
||||||
|
rather expensive, and RCU is thus best suited for read-mostly situations.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
How can an RCU writer possibly determine when all readers are finished,
|
||||||
|
given that readers might well leave absolutely no trace of their
|
||||||
|
presence? There is a synchronize_rcu() primitive that blocks until all
|
||||||
|
pre-existing readers have completed. An updater wishing to delete an
|
||||||
|
element p from a linked list might do the following, while holding an
|
||||||
|
appropriate lock, of course:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
list_del_rcu(p);
|
||||||
|
synchronize_rcu();
|
||||||
|
kfree(p);
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
But the above code cannot be used in IRQ context -- the call_rcu()
|
||||||
|
primitive must be used instead. This primitive takes a pointer to an
|
||||||
|
rcu_head struct placed within the RCU-protected data structure and
|
||||||
|
another pointer to a function that may be invoked later to free that
|
||||||
|
structure. Code to delete an element p from the linked list from IRQ
|
||||||
|
context might then be as follows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
list_del_rcu(p);
|
||||||
|
call_rcu(&p->rcu, p_callback);
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since call_rcu() never blocks, this code can safely be used from within
|
||||||
|
IRQ context. The function p_callback() might be defined as follows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
static void p_callback(struct rcu_head *rp)
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
struct pstruct *p = container_of(rp, struct pstruct, rcu);
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
kfree(p);
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Unloading Modules That Use call_rcu()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
But what if p_callback is defined in an unloadable module?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If we unload the module while some RCU callbacks are pending,
|
||||||
|
the CPUs executing these callbacks are going to be severely
|
||||||
|
disappointed when they are later invoked, as fancifully depicted at
|
||||||
|
http://lwn.net/images/ns/kernel/rcu-drop.jpg.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We could try placing a synchronize_rcu() in the module-exit code path,
|
||||||
|
but this is not sufficient. Although synchronize_rcu() does wait for a
|
||||||
|
grace period to elapse, it does not wait for the callbacks to complete.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
One might be tempted to try several back-to-back synchronize_rcu()
|
||||||
|
calls, but this is still not guaranteed to work. If there is a very
|
||||||
|
heavy RCU-callback load, then some of the callbacks might be deferred
|
||||||
|
in order to allow other processing to proceed. Such deferral is required
|
||||||
|
in realtime kernels in order to avoid excessive scheduling latencies.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
rcu_barrier()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We instead need the rcu_barrier() primitive. This primitive is similar
|
||||||
|
to synchronize_rcu(), but instead of waiting solely for a grace
|
||||||
|
period to elapse, it also waits for all outstanding RCU callbacks to
|
||||||
|
complete. Pseudo-code using rcu_barrier() is as follows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Prevent any new RCU callbacks from being posted.
|
||||||
|
2. Execute rcu_barrier().
|
||||||
|
3. Allow the module to be unloaded.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Quick Quiz #1: Why is there no srcu_barrier()?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The rcutorture module makes use of rcu_barrier in its exit function
|
||||||
|
as follows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1 static void
|
||||||

Line 6 sets a global variable that prevents any RCU callbacks from
|
||||||
|
re-posting themselves. This will not be necessary in most cases, since
|
||||||
|
RCU callbacks rarely include calls to call_rcu(). However, the rcutorture
|
||||||
|
module is an exception to this rule, and therefore needs to set this
|
||||||
|
global variable.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Lines 7-50 stop all the kernel tasks associated with the rcutorture
|
||||||
|
module. Therefore, once execution reaches line 53, no more rcutorture
|
||||||
|
RCU callbacks will be posted. The rcu_barrier() call on line 53 waits
|
||||||
|
for any pre-existing callbacks to complete.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then lines 55-62 print status and do operation-specific cleanup, and
|
||||||
|
then return, permitting the module-unload operation to be completed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Quick Quiz #2: Is there any other situation where rcu_barrier() might
|
||||||
|
be required?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Your module might have additional complications. For example, if your
|
||||||
|
module invokes call_rcu() from timers, you will need to first cancel all
|
||||||
|
the timers, and only then invoke rcu_barrier() to wait for any remaining
|
||||||
|
RCU callbacks to complete.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Implementing rcu_barrier()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Dipankar Sarma's implementation of rcu_barrier() makes use of the fact
|
||||||
|
that RCU callbacks are never reordered once queued on one of the per-CPU
|
||||||
|
queues. His implementation queues an RCU callback on each of the per-CPU
|
||||||
|
callback queues, and then waits until they have all started executing, at
|
||||||
|
which point, all earlier RCU callbacks are guaranteed to have completed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The original code for rcu_barrier() was as follows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1 void rcu_barrier(void)
|
||||||
|
2 {
|
||||||
|
3 BUG_ON(in_interrupt());
|
||||||
|
4 /* Take cpucontrol mutex to protect against CPU hotplug */
|
||||||
|
5 mutex_lock(&rcu_barrier_mutex);
|
||||||
|
6 init_completion(&rcu_barrier_completion);
|
||||||
|
7 atomic_set(&rcu_barrier_cpu_count, 0);
|
||||||
|
8 on_each_cpu(rcu_barrier_func, NULL, 0, 1);
|
||||||
|
9 wait_for_completion(&rcu_barrier_completion);
|
||||||
|
10 mutex_unlock(&rcu_barrier_mutex);
|
||||||
|
11 }
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Line 3 verifies that the caller is in process context, and lines 5 and 10
|
||||||
|
use rcu_barrier_mutex to ensure that only one rcu_barrier() is using the
|
||||||
|
global completion and counters at a time, which are initialized on lines
|
||||||
|
6 and 7. Line 8 causes each CPU to invoke rcu_barrier_func(), which is
|
||||||
|
shown below. Note that the final "1" in on_each_cpu()'s argument list
|
||||||
|
ensures that all the calls to rcu_barrier_func() will have completed
|
||||||
|
before on_each_cpu() returns. Line 9 then waits for the completion.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This code was rewritten in 2008 to support rcu_barrier_bh() and
|
||||||
|
rcu_barrier_sched() in addition to the original rcu_barrier().
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The rcu_barrier_func() runs on each CPU, where it invokes call_rcu()
|
||||||
|
to post an RCU callback, as follows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1 static void rcu_barrier_func(void *notused)
|
||||||
|
2 {
|
||||||
|
3 int cpu = smp_processor_id();
|
||||||
|
4 struct rcu_data *rdp = &per_cpu(rcu_data, cpu);
|
||||||
|
5 struct rcu_head *head;
|
||||||
|
6
|
||||||
|
7 head = &rdp->barrier;
|
||||||
|
8 atomic_inc(&rcu_barrier_cpu_count);
|
||||||
|
9 call_rcu(head, rcu_barrier_callback);
|
||||||
|
10 }
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Lines 3 and 4 locate RCU's internal per-CPU rcu_data structure,
|
||||||
|
which contains the struct rcu_head that needed for the later call to
|
||||||
|
call_rcu(). Line 7 picks up a pointer to this struct rcu_head, and line
|
||||||
|
8 increments a global counter. This counter will later be decremented
|
||||||
|
by the callback. Line 9 then registers the rcu_barrier_callback() on
|
||||||
|
the current CPU's queue.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The rcu_barrier_callback() function simply atomically decrements the
|
||||||
|
rcu_barrier_cpu_count variable and finalizes the completion when it
|
||||||
|
reaches zero, as follows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1 static void rcu_barrier_callback(struct rcu_head *notused)
|
||||||
|
2 {
|
||||||
|
3 if (atomic_dec_and_test(&rcu_barrier_cpu_count))
|
||||||
|
4 complete(&rcu_barrier_completion);
|
||||||
|
5 }
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Quick Quiz #3: What happens if CPU 0's rcu_barrier_func() executes
|
||||||
|
immediately (thus incrementing rcu_barrier_cpu_count to the
|
||||||
|
value one), but the other CPU's rcu_barrier_func() invocations
|
||||||
|
are delayed for a full grace period? Couldn't this result in
|
||||||
|
rcu_barrier() returning prematurely?

rcu_barrier() Summary
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The rcu_barrier() primitive has seen relatively little use, since most
|
||||||
|
code using RCU is in the core kernel rather than in modules. However, if
|
||||||
|
you are using RCU from an unloadable module, you need to use rcu_barrier()
|
||||||
|
so that your module may be safely unloaded.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Answers to Quick Quizzes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Quick Quiz #1: Why is there no srcu_barrier()?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Answer: Since there is no call_srcu(), there can be no outstanding SRCU
|
||||||
|
callbacks. Therefore, there is no need to wait for them.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Quick Quiz #2: Is there any other situation where rcu_barrier() might
|
||||||
|
be required?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Answer: Interestingly enough, rcu_barrier() was not originally
|
||||||
|
implemented for module unloading. Nikita Danilov was using
|
||||||
|
RCU in a filesystem, which resulted in a similar situation at
|
||||||
|
filesystem-unmount time. Dipankar Sarma coded up rcu_barrier()
|
||||||
|
in response, so that Nikita could invoke it during the
|
||||||
|
filesystem-unmount process.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Much later, yours truly hit the RCU module-unload problem when
|
||||||
|
implementing rcutorture, and found that rcu_barrier() solves
|
||||||
|
this problem as well.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Quick Quiz #3: What happens if CPU 0's rcu_barrier_func() executes
|
||||||
|
immediately (thus incrementing rcu_barrier_cpu_count to the
|
||||||
|
value one), but the other CPU's rcu_barrier_func() invocations
|
||||||
|
are delayed for a full grace period? Couldn't this result in
|
||||||
|
rcu_barrier() returning prematurely?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Answer: This cannot happen. The reason is that on_each_cpu() has its last
|
||||||
|
argument, the wait flag, set to "1". This flag is passed through
|
||||||
|
to smp_call_function() and further to smp_call_function_on_cpu(),
|
||||||
|
causing this latter to spin until the cross-CPU invocation of
|
||||||
|
rcu_barrier_func() has completed. This by itself would prevent
|
||||||
|
a grace period from completing on non-CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels,
|
||||||
|
since each CPU must undergo a context switch (or other quiescent
|
||||||
|
state) before the grace period can complete. However, this is
|
||||||
|
of no use in CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Therefore, on_each_cpu() disables preemption across its call
|
||||||
|
to smp_call_function() and also across the local call to
|
||||||
|
rcu_barrier_func(). This prevents the local CPU from context
|
||||||
|
switching, again preventing grace periods from completing. This
|
||||||
|
means that all CPUs have executed rcu_barrier_func() before
|
||||||
|
the first rcu_barrier_callback() can possibly execute, in turn
|
||||||
|
preventing rcu_barrier_cpu_count from prematurely reaching zero.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Currently, -rt implementations of RCU keep but a single global
|
||||||
|
queue for RCU callbacks, and thus do not suffer from this
|
||||||
|
problem. However, when the -rt RCU eventually does have per-CPU
|
||||||
|
callback queues, things will have to change. One simple change
|
||||||
|
is to add an rcu_read_lock() before line 8 of rcu_barrier()
|
||||||
|
and an rcu_read_unlock() after line 8 of this same function. If
|
||||||
|
you can think of a better change, please let me know!

How to deal with bad memory e.g. reported by memtest86+ ?
|
||||||
|
#########################################################
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are three possibilities I know of:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1) Reinsert/swap the memory modules
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2) Buy new modules (best!) or try to exchange the memory
|
||||||
|
if you have spare-parts
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3) Use BadRAM or memmap
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This Howto is about number 3) .
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
BadRAM
|
||||||
|
######
|
||||||
|
BadRAM is the actively developed and available as kernel-patch
|
||||||
|
here: http://rick.vanrein.org/linux/badram/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For more details see the BadRAM documentation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
memmap
|
||||||
|
######
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
memmap is already in the kernel and usable as kernel-parameter at
|
||||||
|
boot-time. Its syntax is slightly strange and you may need to
|
||||||
|
calculate the values by yourself!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Syntax to exclude a memory area (see kernel-parameters.txt for details):
|
||||||
|
memmap=<size>$<address>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Example: memtest86+ reported here errors at address 0x18691458, 0x18698424 and
|
||||||
|
some others. All had 0x1869xxxx in common, so I chose a pattern of
|
||||||
|
0x18690000,0xffff0000.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
With the numbers of the example above:
|
||||||
|
memmap=64K$0x18690000
|
||||||
|
or
|
||||||
|
memmap=0x10000$0x18690000

1. Blackfin GPIO introduction
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are many GPIO pins on Blackfin. Most of these pins are muxed to
|
||||||
|
multi-functions. They can be configured as peripheral, or just as GPIO,
|
||||||
|
configured to input with interrupt enabled, or output.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For detailed information, please see "arch/blackfin/kernel/bfin_gpio.c",
|
||||||
|
or the relevant HRM.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Avoiding resource conflict
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Followed function groups are used to avoiding resource conflict,
|
||||||
|
- Use the pin as peripheral,
|
||||||
|
int peripheral_request(unsigned short per, const char *label);
|
||||||
|
int peripheral_request_list(const unsigned short per[], const char *label);
|
||||||
|
void peripheral_free(unsigned short per);
|
||||||
|
void peripheral_free_list(const unsigned short per[]);
|
||||||
|
- Use the pin as GPIO,
|
||||||
|
int bfin_gpio_request(unsigned gpio, const char *label);
|
||||||
|
void bfin_gpio_free(unsigned gpio);
|
||||||
|
- Use the pin as GPIO interrupt,
|
||||||
|
int bfin_gpio_irq_request(unsigned gpio, const char *label);
|
||||||
|
void bfin_gpio_irq_free(unsigned gpio);
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The request functions will record the function state for a certain pin,
|
||||||
|
the free functions will clear it's function state.
|
||||||
|
Once a pin is requested, it can't be requested again before it is freed by
|
||||||
|
previous caller, otherwise kernel will dump stacks, and the request
|
||||||
|
function fail.
|
||||||
|
These functions are wrapped by other functions, most of the users need not
|
||||||
|
care.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. But there are some exceptions
|
||||||
|
- Kernel permit the identical GPIO be requested both as GPIO and GPIO
|
||||||
|
interrut.
|
||||||
|
Some drivers, like gpio-keys, need this behavior. Kernel only print out
|
||||||
|
warning messages like,
|
||||||
|
bfin-gpio: GPIO 24 is already reserved by gpio-keys: BTN0, and you are
|
||||||
|
configuring it as IRQ!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note: Consider the case that, if there are two drivers need the
|
||||||
|
identical GPIO, one of them use it as GPIO, the other use it as
|
||||||
|
GPIO interrupt. This will really cause resource conflict. So if
|
||||||
|
there is any abnormal driver behavior, please check the bfin-gpio
|
||||||
|
warning messages.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Kernel permit the identical GPIO be requested from the same driver twice.

|
||||||
|
page_cgroup ....an object per page.
|
||||||
|
Allocated at boot or memory hotplug. Freed at memory hot removal.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
swap_cgroup ... an entry per swp_entry.
|
||||||
|
Allocated at swapon(). Freed at swapoff().
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The page_cgroup has USED bit and double count against a page_cgroup never
|
||||||
|
occurs. swap_cgroup is used only when a charged page is swapped-out.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Charge
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
a page/swp_entry may be charged (usage += PAGE_SIZE) at
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mem_cgroup_newpage_charge()
|
||||||
|
Called at new page fault and Copy-On-Write.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin()
|
||||||
|
Called at do_swap_page() (page fault on swap entry) and swapoff.
|
||||||
|
Followed by charge-commit-cancel protocol. (With swap accounting)
|
||||||
|
At commit, a charge recorded in swap_cgroup is removed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mem_cgroup_cache_charge()
|
||||||
|
Called at add_to_page_cache()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mem_cgroup_cache_charge_swapin()
|
||||||
|
Called at shmem's swapin.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mem_cgroup_prepare_migration()
|
||||||
|
Called before migration. "extra" charge is done and followed by
|
||||||
|
charge-commit-cancel protocol.
|
||||||
|
At commit, charge against oldpage or newpage will be committed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Uncharge
|
||||||
|
a page/swp_entry may be uncharged (usage -= PAGE_SIZE) by
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mem_cgroup_uncharge_page()
|
||||||
|
Called when an anonymous page is fully unmapped. I.e., mapcount goes
|
||||||
|
to 0. If the page is SwapCache, uncharge is delayed until
|
||||||
|
mem_cgroup_uncharge_swapcache().
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page()
|
||||||
|
Called when a page-cache is deleted from radix-tree. If the page is
|
||||||
|
SwapCache, uncharge is delayed until mem_cgroup_uncharge_swapcache().
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mem_cgroup_uncharge_swapcache()
|
||||||
|
Called when SwapCache is removed from radix-tree. The charge itself
|
||||||
|
is moved to swap_cgroup. (If mem+swap controller is disabled, no
|
||||||
|
charge to swap occurs.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap()
|
||||||
|
Called when swp_entry's refcnt goes down to 0. A charge against swap
|
||||||
|
disappears.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mem_cgroup_end_migration(old, new)
|
||||||
|
At success of migration old is uncharged (if necessary), a charge
|
||||||
|
to new page is committed. At failure, charge to old page is committed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. charge-commit-cancel
|
||||||
|
In some case, we can't know this "charge" is valid or not at charging
|
||||||
|
(because of races).
|
||||||
|
To handle such case, there are charge-commit-cancel functions.
|
||||||
|
mem_cgroup_try_charge_XXX
|
||||||
|
mem_cgroup_commit_charge_XXX
|
||||||
|
mem_cgroup_cancel_charge_XXX
|
||||||
|
these are used in swap-in and migration.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At try_charge(), there are no flags to say "this page is charged".
|
||||||
|
at this point, usage += PAGE_SIZE.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At commit(), the function checks the page should be charged or not
|
||||||
|
and set flags or avoid charging.(usage -= PAGE_SIZE)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At cancel(), simply usage -= PAGE_SIZE.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Under below explanation, we assume CONFIG_MEM_RES_CTRL_SWAP=y.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. Anonymous
|
||||||
|
Anonymous page is newly allocated at
|
||||||
|
- page fault into MAP_ANONYMOUS mapping.
|
||||||
|
- Copy-On-Write.
|
||||||
|
It is charged right after it's allocated before doing any page table
|
||||||
|
related operations. Of course, it's uncharged when another page is used
|
||||||
|
for the fault address.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At freeing anonymous page (by exit() or munmap()), zap_pte() is called
|
||||||
|
and pages for ptes are freed one by one.(see mm/memory.c). Uncharges
|
||||||
|
are done at page_remove_rmap() when page_mapcount() goes down to 0.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Another page freeing is by page-reclaim (vmscan.c) and anonymous
|
||||||
|
pages are swapped out. In this case, the page is marked as
|
||||||
|
PageSwapCache(). uncharge() routine doesn't uncharge the page marked
|
||||||
|
as SwapCache(). It's delayed until __delete_from_swap_cache().
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4.1 Swap-in.
|
||||||
|
At swap-in, the page is taken from swap-cache. There are 2 cases.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(a) If the SwapCache is newly allocated and read, it has no charges.
|
||||||
|
(b) If the SwapCache has been mapped by processes, it has been
|
||||||
|
charged already.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This swap-in is one of the most complicated work. In do_swap_page(),
|
||||||
|
following events occur when pte is unchanged.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(1) the page (SwapCache) is looked up.
|
||||||
|
(2) lock_page()
|
||||||
|
(3) try_charge_swapin()
|
||||||
|
(4) reuse_swap_page() (may call delete_swap_cache())
|
||||||
|
(5) commit_charge_swapin()
|
||||||
|
(6) swap_free().
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Considering following situation for example.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(A) The page has not been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page()
|
||||||
|
doesn't call delete_from_swap_cache().
|
||||||
|
(B) The page has not been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page()
|
||||||
|
calls delete_from_swap_cache().
|
||||||
|
(C) The page has been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page() doesn't
|
||||||
|
call delete_from_swap_cache().
|
||||||
|
(D) The page has been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page() calls
|
||||||
|
delete_from_swap_cache().
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
memory.usage/memsw.usage changes to this page/swp_entry will be
|
||||||
|
Case (A) (B) (C) (D)
|
||||||
|
Event
|
||||||
|
Before (2) 0/ 1 0/ 1 1/ 1 1/ 1
|
||||||
|
===========================================
|
||||||
|
(3) +1/+1 +1/+1 +1/+1 +1/+1
|
||||||
|
(4) - 0/ 0 - -1/ 0
|
||||||
|
(5) 0/-1 0/ 0 -1/-1 0/ 0
|
||||||
|
(6) - 0/-1 - 0/-1
|
||||||
|
===========================================
|
||||||
|
Result 1/ 1 1/ 1 1/ 1 1/ 1
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In any cases, charges to this page should be 1/ 1.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4.2 Swap-out.
|
||||||
|
At swap-out, typical state transition is below.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(a) add to swap cache. (marked as SwapCache)
|
||||||
|
swp_entry's refcnt += 1.
|
||||||
|
(b) fully unmapped.
|
||||||
|
swp_entry's refcnt += # of ptes.
|
||||||
|
(c) write back to swap.
|
||||||
|
(d) delete from swap cache. (remove from SwapCache)
|
||||||
|
swp_entry's refcnt -= 1.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At (b), the page is marked as SwapCache and not uncharged.
|
||||||
|
At (d), the page is removed from SwapCache and a charge in page_cgroup
|
||||||
|
is moved to swap_cgroup.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Finally, at task exit,
|
||||||
|
(e) zap_pte() is called and swp_entry's refcnt -=1 -> 0.
|
||||||
|
Here, a charge in swap_cgroup disappears.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5. Page Cache
|
||||||
|
Page Cache is charged at
|
||||||
|
- add_to_page_cache_locked().
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
uncharged at
|
||||||
|
- __remove_from_page_cache().
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The logic is very clear. (About migration, see below)
|
||||||
|
Note: __remove_from_page_cache() is called by remove_from_page_cache()
|
||||||
|
and __remove_mapping().
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
6. Shmem(tmpfs) Page Cache
|
||||||
|
Memcg's charge/uncharge have special handlers of shmem. The best way
|
||||||
|
to understand shmem's page state transition is to read mm/shmem.c.
|
||||||
|
But brief explanation of the behavior of memcg around shmem will be
|
||||||
|
helpful to understand the logic.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Shmem's page (just leaf page, not direct/indirect block) can be on
|
||||||
|
- radix-tree of shmem's inode.
|
||||||
|
- SwapCache.
|
||||||
|
- Both on radix-tree and SwapCache. This happens at swap-in
|
||||||
|
and swap-out,
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It's charged when...
|
||||||
|
- A new page is added to shmem's radix-tree.
|
||||||
|
- A swp page is read. (move a charge from swap_cgroup to page_cgroup)
|
||||||
|
It's uncharged when
|
||||||
|
- A page is removed from radix-tree and not SwapCache.
|
||||||
|
- When SwapCache is removed, a charge is moved to swap_cgroup.
|
||||||
|
- When swp_entry's refcnt goes down to 0, a charge in swap_cgroup
|
||||||
|
disappears.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
7. Page Migration
|
||||||
|
One of the most complicated functions is page-migration-handler.
|
||||||
|
Memcg has 2 routines. Assume that we are migrating a page's contents
|
||||||
|
from OLDPAGE to NEWPAGE.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Usual migration logic is..
|
||||||
|
(a) remove the page from LRU.
|
||||||
|
(b) allocate NEWPAGE (migration target)
|
||||||
|
(c) lock by lock_page().
|
||||||
|
(d) unmap all mappings.
|
||||||
|
(e-1) If necessary, replace entry in radix-tree.
|
||||||
|
(e-2) move contents of a page.
|
||||||
|
(f) map all mappings again.
|
||||||
|
(g) pushback the page to LRU.
|
||||||
|
(-) OLDPAGE will be freed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Before (g), memcg should complete all necessary charge/uncharge to
|
||||||
|
NEWPAGE/OLDPAGE.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The point is....
|
||||||
|
- If OLDPAGE is anonymous, all charges will be dropped at (d) because
|
||||||
|
try_to_unmap() drops all mapcount and the page will not be
|
||||||
|
SwapCache.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- If OLDPAGE is SwapCache, charges will be kept at (g) because
|
||||||
|
__delete_from_swap_cache() isn't called at (e-1)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- If OLDPAGE is page-cache, charges will be kept at (g) because
|
||||||
|
remove_from_swap_cache() isn't called at (e-1)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
memcg provides following hooks.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- mem_cgroup_prepare_migration(OLDPAGE)
|
||||||
|
Called after (b) to account a charge (usage += PAGE_SIZE) against
|
||||||
|
memcg which OLDPAGE belongs to.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- mem_cgroup_end_migration(OLDPAGE, NEWPAGE)
|
||||||
|
Called after (f) before (g).
|
||||||
|
If OLDPAGE is used, commit OLDPAGE again. If OLDPAGE is already
|
||||||
|
charged, a charge by prepare_migration() is automatically canceled.
|
||||||
|
If NEWPAGE is used, commit NEWPAGE and uncharge OLDPAGE.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
But zap_pte() (by exit or munmap) can be called while migration,
|
||||||
|
we have to check if OLDPAGE/NEWPAGE is a valid page after commit().
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
8. LRU
|
||||||
|
Each memcg has its own private LRU. Now, it's handling is under global
|
||||||
|
VM's control (means that it's handled under global zone->lru_lock).
|
||||||
|
Almost all routines around memcg's LRU is called by global LRU's
|
||||||
|
list management functions under zone->lru_lock().
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A special function is mem_cgroup_isolate_pages(). This scans
|
||||||
|
memcg's private LRU and call __isolate_lru_page() to extract a page
|
||||||
|
from LRU.
|
||||||
|
(By __isolate_lru_page(), the page is removed from both of global and
|
||||||
|
private LRU.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
9. Typical Tests.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Tests for racy cases.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
9.1 Small limit to memcg.
|
||||||
|
When you do test to do racy case, it's good test to set memcg's limit
|
||||||
|
to be very small rather than GB. Many races found in the test under
|
||||||
|
xKB or xxMB limits.
|
||||||
|
(Memory behavior under GB and Memory behavior under MB shows very
|
||||||
|
different situation.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
9.2 Shmem
|
||||||
|
Historically, memcg's shmem handling was poor and we saw some amount
|
||||||
|
of troubles here. This is because shmem is page-cache but can be
|
||||||
|
SwapCache. Test with shmem/tmpfs is always good test.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
9.3 Migration
|
||||||
|
For NUMA, migration is an another special case. To do easy test, cpuset
|
||||||
|
is useful. Following is a sample script to do migration.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mount -t cgroup -o cpuset none /opt/cpuset
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mkdir /opt/cpuset/01
|
||||||
|
echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/01/cpuset.cpus
|
||||||
|
echo 0 > /opt/cpuset/01/cpuset.mems
|
||||||
|
echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/01/cpuset.memory_migrate
|
||||||
|
mkdir /opt/cpuset/02
|
||||||
|
echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/02/cpuset.cpus
|
||||||
|
echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/02/cpuset.mems
|
||||||
|
echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/02/cpuset.memory_migrate
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In above set, when you moves a task from 01 to 02, page migration to
|
||||||
|
node 0 to node 1 will occur. Following is a script to migrate all
|
||||||
|
under cpuset.
|
||||||
|
--
|
||||||
|
move_task()
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
for pid in $1
|
||||||
|
do
|
||||||
|
/bin/echo $pid >$2/tasks 2>/dev/null
|
||||||
|
echo -n $pid
|
||||||
|
echo -n " "
|
||||||
|
done
|
||||||
|
echo END
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
G1_TASK=`cat ${G1}/tasks`
|
||||||
|
G2_TASK=`cat ${G2}/tasks`
|
||||||
|
move_task "${G1_TASK}" ${G2} &
|
||||||
|
--
|
||||||
|
9.4 Memory hotplug.
|
||||||
|
memory hotplug test is one of good test.
|
||||||
|
to offline memory, do following.
|
||||||
|
# echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state
|
||||||
|
(XXX is the place of memory)
|
||||||
|
This is an easy way to test page migration, too.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
9.5 mkdir/rmdir
|
||||||
|
When using hierarchy, mkdir/rmdir test should be done.
|
||||||
|
Use tests like the following.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
echo 1 >/opt/cgroup/01/memory/use_hierarchy
|
||||||
|
mkdir /opt/cgroup/01/child_a
|
||||||
|
mkdir /opt/cgroup/01/child_b
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
set limit to 01.
|
||||||
|
add limit to 01/child_b
|
||||||
|
run jobs under child_a and child_b
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
create/delete following groups at random while jobs are running.
|
||||||
|
/opt/cgroup/01/child_a/child_aa
|
||||||
|
/opt/cgroup/01/child_b/child_bb
|
||||||
|
/opt/cgroup/01/child_c
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
running new jobs in new group is also good.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
9.6 Mount with other subsystems.
|
||||||
|
Mounting with other subsystems is a good test because there is a
|
||||||
|
race and lock dependency with other cgroup subsystems.

||||||

2.4 Reclaim
|
Exception: If CONFIG_CGROUP_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP is not used..
|
||||||
|
When you do swapoff and make swapped-out pages of shmem(tmpfs) to
|
||||||
|
be backed into memory in force, charges for pages are accounted against the
|
||||||
|
caller of swapoff rather than the users of shmem.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2.4 Swap Extension (CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP)
|
||||||
|
Swap Extension allows you to record charge for swap. A swapped-in page is
|
||||||
|
charged back to original page allocator if possible.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When swap is accounted, following files are added.
|
||||||
|
- memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes.
|
||||||
|
- memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
usage of mem+swap is limited by memsw.limit_in_bytes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note: why 'mem+swap' rather than swap.
|
||||||
|
The global LRU(kswapd) can swap out arbitrary pages. Swap-out means
|
||||||
|
to move account from memory to swap...there is no change in usage of
|
||||||
|
mem+swap.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In other words, when we want to limit the usage of swap without affecting
|
||||||
|
global LRU, mem+swap limit is better than just limiting swap from OS point
|
||||||
|
of view.

|
Such charges are freed(at default) or moved to its parent. When moved,

||||||
|
both of RSS and CACHES are moved to parent.
|
||||||
|
If both of them are busy, rmdir() returns -EBUSY. See 5.1 Also.

||||||

|
||||||

|
Charges recorded in swap information is not updated at removal of cgroup.
|
||||||
|
Recorded information is discarded and a cgroup which uses swap (swapcache)
|
||||||
|
will be charged as a new owner of it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5. Misc. interfaces.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5.1 force_empty
|
||||||
|
memory.force_empty interface is provided to make cgroup's memory usage empty.
|
||||||
|
You can use this interface only when the cgroup has no tasks.
|
||||||
|
When writing anything to this
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# echo 0 > memory.force_empty
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Almost all pages tracked by this memcg will be unmapped and freed. Some of
|
||||||
|
pages cannot be freed because it's locked or in-use. Such pages are moved
|
||||||
|
to parent and this cgroup will be empty. But this may return -EBUSY in
|
||||||
|
some too busy case.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Typical use case of this interface is that calling this before rmdir().
|
||||||
|
Because rmdir() moves all pages to parent, some out-of-use page caches can be
|
||||||
|
moved to the parent. If you want to avoid that, force_empty will be useful.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5.2 stat file
|
||||||
|
memory.stat file includes following statistics (now)
|
||||||
|
cache - # of pages from page-cache and shmem.
|
||||||
|
rss - # of pages from anonymous memory.
|
||||||
|
pgpgin - # of event of charging
|
||||||
|
pgpgout - # of event of uncharging
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
inactive_anon - # of pages on active lru of anon, shmem
|
||||||
|
active_file - # of pages on active lru of file-cache
|
||||||
|
inactive_file - # of pages on inactive lru of file cache
|
||||||
|
unevictable - # of pages cannot be reclaimed.(mlocked etc)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Below is depend on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.
|
||||||
|
inactive_ratio - VM inernal parameter. (see mm/page_alloc.c)

||||||
|
5.3 swappiness
|
||||||
|
Similar to /proc/sys/vm/swappiness, but affecting a hierarchy of groups only.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Following cgroup's swapiness can't be changed.
|
||||||
|
- root cgroup (uses /proc/sys/vm/swappiness).
|
||||||
|
- a cgroup which uses hierarchy and it has child cgroup.
|
||||||
|
- a cgroup which uses hierarchy and not the root of hierarchy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
6. Hierarchy support
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The memory controller supports a deep hierarchy and hierarchical accounting.
|
||||||
|
The hierarchy is created by creating the appropriate cgroups in the
|
||||||
|
cgroup filesystem. Consider for example, the following cgroup filesystem
|
||||||
|
hierarchy
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
root
|
||||||
|
/ | \
|
||||||
|
/ | \
|
||||||
|
a b c
|
||||||
|
| \
|
||||||
|
| \
|
||||||
|
d e
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the diagram above, with hierarchical accounting enabled, all memory
|
||||||
|
usage of e, is accounted to its ancestors up until the root (i.e, c and root),
|
||||||
|
that has memory.use_hierarchy enabled. If one of the ancestors goes over its
|
||||||
|
limit, the reclaim algorithm reclaims from the tasks in the ancestor and the
|
||||||
|
children of the ancestor.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
6.1 Enabling hierarchical accounting and reclaim
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The memory controller by default disables the hierarchy feature. Support
|
||||||
|
can be enabled by writing 1 to memory.use_hierarchy file of the root cgroup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# echo 1 > memory.use_hierarchy
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The feature can be disabled by
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# echo 0 > memory.use_hierarchy
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
NOTE1: Enabling/disabling will fail if the cgroup already has other
|
||||||
|
cgroups created below it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
NOTE2: This feature can be enabled/disabled per subtree.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

provided.
|
||||||
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
|
The interface is:
|
||||||
use of a channel:
|
struct dma_chan *dma_request_channel(dma_cap_mask_t mask,
|
||||||
- dma_async_client_register(struct dma_client *client)
|
dma_filter_fn filter_fn,
|
||||||
- dma_async_client_chan_request(struct dma_client *client)
|
void *filter_param);
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
dma_async_client_register takes a pointer to an initialized dma_client
|
Where dma_filter_fn is defined as:
|
||||||
structure. It expects that the 'event_callback' and 'cap_mask' fields
|
typedef bool (*dma_filter_fn)(struct dma_chan *chan, void *filter_param);
|
||||||
are already initialized.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
dma_async_client_chan_request triggers dmaengine to notify the client of
|
When the optional 'filter_fn' parameter is set to NULL
|
||||||
all channels that satisfy the capability mask. It is up to the client's
|
dma_request_channel simply returns the first channel that satisfies the
|
||||||
event_callback routine to track how many channels the client needs and
|
capability mask. Otherwise, when the mask parameter is insufficient for
|
||||||
how many it is currently using. The dma_event_callback routine returns a
|
specifying the necessary channel, the filter_fn routine can be used to
|
||||||
dma_state_client code to let dmaengine know the status of the
|
disposition the available channels in the system. The filter_fn routine
|
||||||
allocation.
|
is called once for each free channel in the system. Upon seeing a
|
||||||
|
suitable channel filter_fn returns DMA_ACK which flags that channel to
|
||||||
|
be the return value from dma_request_channel. A channel allocated via
|
||||||
|
this interface is exclusive to the caller, until dma_release_channel()
|
||||||
|
is called.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Below is the example of how to extend this functionality for
|
The DMA_PRIVATE capability flag is used to tag dma devices that should
|
||||||
platform-specific filtering of the available channels beyond the

|
||||||
standard capability mask:
|
initialization time if it is known that a channel will always be
|
||||||
|
private. Alternatively, it is set when dma_request_channel() finds an
|
||||||
|
unused "public" channel.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
static enum dma_state_client
|
A couple caveats to note when implementing a driver and consumer:
|
||||||
my_dma_client_callback(struct dma_client *client,
|
1/ Once a channel has been privately allocated it will no longer be
|
||||||
struct dma_chan *chan, enum dma_state state)
|
considered by the general-purpose allocator even after a call to
|
||||||
{
|
dma_release_channel().
|
||||||
struct dma_device *dma_dev;
|
2/ Since capabilities are specified at the device level a dma_device
|
||||||
struct my_platform_specific_dma *plat_dma_dev;
|
with multiple channels will either have all channels public, or all
|
||||||
|
channels private.
|
||||||
dma_dev = chan->device;
|
|
||||||
plat_dma_dev = container_of(dma_dev,

struct my_platform_specific_dma,

What: SELinux "compat_net" functionality

When: 2.6.30 at the earliest

Why: In 2.6.18 the Secmark concept was introduced to replace the "compat_net"
|
||||||
|
network access control functionality of SELinux. Secmark offers both
|
||||||
|
better performance and greater flexibility than the "compat_net"
|
||||||
|
mechanism. Now that the major Linux distributions have moved to
|
||||||
|
Secmark, it is time to deprecate the older mechanism and start the
|
||||||
|
process of removing the old code.

BTRFS
|
||||||
|
=====
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Btrfs is a new copy on write filesystem for Linux aimed at
|
||||||
|
implementing advanced features while focusing on fault tolerance,
|
||||||
|
repair and easy administration. Initially developed by Oracle, Btrfs
|
||||||
|
is licensed under the GPL and open for contribution from anyone.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Linux has a wealth of filesystems to choose from, but we are facing a
|
||||||
|
number of challenges with scaling to the large storage subsystems that
|
||||||
|
are becoming common in today's data centers. Filesystems need to scale
|
||||||
|
in their ability to address and manage large storage, and also in
|
||||||
|
their ability to detect, repair and tolerate errors in the data stored
|
||||||
|
on disk. Btrfs is under heavy development, and is not suitable for
|
||||||
|
any uses other than benchmarking and review. The Btrfs disk format is
|
||||||
|
not yet finalized.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The main Btrfs features include:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Extent based file storage (2^64 max file size)
|
||||||
|
* Space efficient packing of small files
|
||||||
|
* Space efficient indexed directories
|
||||||
|
* Dynamic inode allocation
|
||||||
|
* Writable snapshots
|
||||||
|
* Subvolumes (separate internal filesystem roots)
|
||||||
|
* Object level mirroring and striping
|
||||||
|
* Checksums on data and metadata (multiple algorithms available)
|
||||||
|
* Compression
|
||||||
|
* Integrated multiple device support, with several raid algorithms
|
||||||
|
* Online filesystem check (not yet implemented)
|
||||||
|
* Very fast offline filesystem check
|
||||||
|
* Efficient incremental backup and FS mirroring (not yet implemented)
|
||||||
|
* Online filesystem defragmentation

UTILITIES
|
||||||
|
=========
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Userspace tools for creating and manipulating Btrfs file systems are
|
||||||
|
available from the git repository at the following location:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-progs-unstable.git
|
||||||
|
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-progs-unstable.git
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These include the following tools:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mkfs.btrfs: create a filesystem
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
btrfsctl: control program to create snapshots and subvolumes:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
|
||||||
|
btrfsctl -s new_subvol_name /mnt
|
||||||
|
btrfsctl -s snapshot_of_default /mnt/default
|
||||||
|
btrfsctl -s snapshot_of_new_subvol /mnt/new_subvol_name
|

|
To support containers, we now allow multiple instances of devpts filesystem,
|
||||||
|
such that indices of ptys allocated in one instance are independent of indices
|
||||||
|
allocated in other instances of devpts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To preserve backward compatibility, this support for multiple instances is
|
||||||
|
enabled only if:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y, and
|
||||||
|
- '-o newinstance' mount option is specified while mounting devpts
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
IOW, devpts now supports both single-instance and multi-instance semantics.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=n, there is no change in behavior and
|
||||||
|
this referred to as the "legacy" mode. In this mode, the new mount options
|
||||||
|
(-o newinstance and -o ptmxmode) will be ignored with a 'bogus option' message
|
||||||
|
on console.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y and devpts is mounted without the
|
||||||
|
'newinstance' option (as in current start-up scripts) the new mount binds
|
||||||
|
to the initial kernel mount of devpts. This mode is referred to as the
|
||||||
|
'single-instance' mode and the current, single-instance semantics are
|
||||||
|
preserved, i.e PTYs are common across the system.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The only difference between this single-instance mode and the legacy mode
|
||||||
|
is the presence of new, '/dev/pts/ptmx' node with permissions 0000, which
|
||||||
|
can safely be ignored.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y and 'newinstance' option is specified,
|
||||||
|
the mount is considered to be in the multi-instance mode and a new instance
|
||||||
|
of the devpts fs is created. Any ptys created in this instance are independent
|
||||||
|
of ptys in other instances of devpts. Like in the single-instance mode, the
|
||||||
|
/dev/pts/ptmx node is present. To effectively use the multi-instance mode,
|
||||||
|
open of /dev/ptmx must be a redirected to '/dev/pts/ptmx' using a symlink or
|
||||||
|
bind-mount.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Eg: A container startup script could do the following:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ chmod 0666 /dev/pts/ptmx
|
||||||
|
$ rm /dev/ptmx
|
||||||
|
$ ln -s pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
|
||||||
|
$ ns_exec -cm /bin/bash
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# We are now in new container
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ umount /dev/pts
|
||||||
|
$ mount -t devpts -o newinstance lxcpts /dev/pts
|
||||||
|
$ sshd -p 1234
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
where 'ns_exec -cm /bin/bash' calls clone() with CLONE_NEWNS flag and execs
|
||||||
|
/bin/bash in the child process. A pty created by the sshd is not visible in
|
||||||
|
the original mount of /dev/pts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
User-space changes
|
||||||
|
------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In multi-instance mode (i.e '-o newinstance' mount option is specified at least
|
||||||
|
once), following user-space issues should be noted.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. If -o newinstance mount option is never used, /dev/pts/ptmx can be ignored
|
||||||
|
and no change is needed to system-startup scripts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. To effectively use multi-instance mode (i.e -o newinstance is specified)
|
||||||
|
administrators or startup scripts should "redirect" open of /dev/ptmx to
|
||||||
|
/dev/pts/ptmx using either a bind mount or symlink.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ mount -t devpts -o newinstance devpts /dev/pts
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
followed by either
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ rm /dev/ptmx
|
||||||
|
$ ln -s pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
|
||||||
|
$ chmod 666 /dev/pts/ptmx
|
||||||
|
or
|
||||||
|
$ mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. The '/dev/ptmx -> pts/ptmx' symlink is the preferred method since it
|
||||||
|
enables better error-reporting and treats both single-instance and
|
||||||
|
multi-instance mounts similarly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
But this method requires that system-startup scripts set the mode of
|
||||||
|
/dev/pts/ptmx correctly (default mode is 0000). The scripts can set the
|
||||||
|
mode by, either
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- adding ptmxmode mount option to devpts entry in /etc/fstab, or
|
||||||
|
- using 'chmod 0666 /dev/pts/ptmx'
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. If multi-instance mode mount is needed for containers, but the system
|
||||||
|
startup scripts have not yet been updated, container-startup scripts
|
||||||
|
should bind mount /dev/ptmx to /dev/pts/ptmx to avoid breaking single-
|
||||||
|
instance mounts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Or, in general, container-startup scripts should use:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mount -t devpts -o newinstance -o ptmxmode=0666 devpts /dev/pts
|
||||||
|
if [ ! -L /dev/ptmx ]; then
|
||||||
|
mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
|
||||||
|
fi
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When all devpts mounts are multi-instance, /dev/ptmx can permanently be
|
||||||
|
a symlink to pts/ptmx and the bind mount can be ignored.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5. A multi-instance mount that is not accompanied by the /dev/ptmx to
|
||||||
|
/dev/pts/ptmx redirection would result in an unusable/unreachable pty.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mount -t devpts -o newinstance lxcpts /dev/pts
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
immediately followed by:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
open("/dev/ptmx")
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
would create a pty, say /dev/pts/7, in the initial kernel mount.
|
||||||
|
But /dev/pts/7 would be invisible in the new mount.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
6. The permissions for /dev/pts/ptmx node should be specified when mounting
|
||||||
|
/dev/pts, using the '-o ptmxmode=%o' mount option (default is 0000).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mount -t devpts -o newinstance -o ptmxmode=0644 devpts /dev/pts
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The permissions can be later be changed as usual with 'chmod'.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
chmod 666 /dev/pts/ptmx
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
7. A mount of devpts without the 'newinstance' option results in binding to
|
||||||
|
initial kernel mount. This behavior while preserving legacy semantics,
|
||||||
|
does not provide strict isolation in a container environment. i.e by
|
||||||
|
mounting devpts without the 'newinstance' option, a container could
|
||||||
|
get visibility into the 'host' or root container's devpts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To workaround this and have strict isolation, all mounts of devpts,
|
||||||
|
including the mount in the root container, should use the newinstance
|
||||||
|
option.

Since a synchronous write operation is going to

complete, it doesn't cost much, and can be a

of time to see if any other transactions can

piggyback on the synchronous write. The

algorithm used is designed to automatically tune

for the speed of the disk, by measuring the

amount of time (on average) that it takes to

the "commit time". If the time that the

commit time to see if other operations will join

the max_batch_time, which defaults to 15000us

SQUASHFS 4.0 FILESYSTEM
|
||||||
|
=======================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Squashfs is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux.
|
||||||
|
It uses zlib compression to compress files, inodes and directories.
|
||||||
|
Inodes in the system are very small and all blocks are packed to minimise
|
||||||
|
data overhead. Block sizes greater than 4K are supported up to a maximum
|
||||||
|
of 1Mbytes (default block size 128K).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Squashfs is intended for general read-only filesystem use, for archival
|
||||||
|
use (i.e. in cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in constrained
|
||||||
|
block device/memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is
|
||||||
|
needed.

Squashfs compresses data, inodes and directories. In addition, inode and
|
||||||
|
directory data are highly compacted, and packed on byte boundaries. Each
|
||||||
|
compressed inode is on average 8 bytes in length (the exact length varies on
|
||||||
|
file type, i.e. regular file, directory, symbolic link, and block/char device
|
||||||
|
inodes have different sizes).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. USING SQUASHFS
|
||||||
|
-----------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As squashfs is a read-only filesystem, the mksquashfs program must be used to
|
||||||
|
create populated squashfs filesystems. This and other squashfs utilities
|
||||||
|
can be obtained from http://www.squashfs.org. Usage instructions can be
|
||||||
|
obtained from this site also.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. SQUASHFS FILESYSTEM DESIGN
|
||||||
|
-----------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A squashfs filesystem consists of seven parts, packed together on a byte
|
||||||
|
alignment:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---------------
|
||||||
|
| superblock |
|
||||||
|
|---------------|
|
||||||
|
| datablocks |
|
||||||
|
| & fragments |
|
||||||
|
|---------------|
|
||||||
|
| inode table |
|
||||||
|
|---------------|
|
||||||
|
| directory |
|
||||||
|
| table |
|
||||||
|
|---------------|
|
||||||
|
| fragment |
|
||||||
|
| table |
|
||||||
|
|---------------|
|
||||||
|
| export |
|
||||||
|
| table |
|
||||||
|
|---------------|
|
||||||
|
| uid/gid |
|
||||||
|
| lookup table |
|
||||||
|
---------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Compressed data blocks are written to the filesystem as files are read from
|
||||||
|
the source directory, and checked for duplicates. Once all file data has been
|
||||||
|
written the completed inode, directory, fragment, export and uid/gid lookup
|
||||||
|
tables are written.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3.1 Inodes
|
||||||
|
----------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Metadata (inodes and directories) are compressed in 8Kbyte blocks. Each
|
||||||
|
compressed block is prefixed by a two byte length, the top bit is set if the
|
||||||
|
block is uncompressed. A block will be uncompressed if the -noI option is set,
|
||||||
|
or if the compressed block was larger than the uncompressed block.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Inodes are packed into the metadata blocks, and are not aligned to block
|
||||||
|
boundaries, therefore inodes overlap compressed blocks. Inodes are identified
|
||||||
|
by a 48-bit number which encodes the location of the compressed metadata block
|
||||||
|
containing the inode, and the byte offset into that block where the inode is
|
||||||
|
placed (<block, offset>).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To maximise compression there are different inodes for each file type
|
||||||
|
(regular file, directory, device, etc.), the inode contents and length
|
||||||
|
varying with the type.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To further maximise compression, two types of regular file inode and
|
||||||
|
directory inode are defined: inodes optimised for frequently occurring
|
||||||
|
regular files and directories, and extended types where extra
|
||||||
|
information has to be stored.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3.2 Directories
|
||||||
|
---------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Like inodes, directories are packed into compressed metadata blocks, stored
|
||||||
|
in a directory table. Directories are accessed using the start address of
|
||||||
|
the metablock containing the directory and the offset into the
|
||||||
|
decompressed block (<block, offset>).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Directories are organised in a slightly complex way, and are not simply
|
||||||
|
a list of file names. The organisation takes advantage of the
|
||||||
|
fact that (in most cases) the inodes of the files will be in the same
|
||||||
|
compressed metadata block, and therefore, can share the start block.
|
||||||
|
Directories are therefore organised in a two level list, a directory
|
||||||
|
header containing the shared start block value, and a sequence of directory
|
||||||
|
entries, each of which share the shared start block. A new directory header
|
||||||
|
is written once/if the inode start block changes. The directory
|
||||||
|
header/directory entry list is repeated as many times as necessary.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Directories are sorted, and can contain a directory index to speed up
|
||||||
|
file lookup. Directory indexes store one entry per metablock, each entry
|
||||||
|
storing the index/filename mapping to the first directory header
|
||||||
|
in each metadata block. Directories are sorted in alphabetical order,
|
||||||
|
and at lookup the index is scanned linearly looking for the first filename
|
||||||
|
alphabetically larger than the filename being looked up. At this point the
|
||||||
|
location of the metadata block the filename is in has been found.
|
||||||
|
The general idea of the index is ensure only one metadata block needs to be
|
||||||
|
decompressed to do a lookup irrespective of the length of the directory.
|
||||||
|
This scheme has the advantage that it doesn't require extra memory overhead
|
||||||
|
and doesn't require much extra storage on disk.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3.3 File data
|
||||||
|
-------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Regular files consist of a sequence of contiguous compressed blocks, and/or a
|
||||||
|
compressed fragment block (tail-end packed block). The compressed size
|
||||||
|
of each datablock is stored in a block list contained within the
|
||||||
|
file inode.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To speed up access to datablocks when reading 'large' files (256 Mbytes or
|
||||||
|
larger), the code implements an index cache that caches the mapping from
|
||||||
|
block index to datablock location on disk.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The index cache allows Squashfs to handle large files (up to 1.75 TiB) while
|
||||||
|
retaining a simple and space-efficient block list on disk. The cache
|
||||||
|
is split into slots, caching up to eight 224 GiB files (128 KiB blocks).
|
||||||
|
Larger files use multiple slots, with 1.75 TiB files using all 8 slots.
|
||||||
|
The index cache is designed to be memory efficient, and by default uses
|
||||||
|
16 KiB.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3.4 Fragment lookup table
|
||||||
|
-------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Regular files can contain a fragment index which is mapped to a fragment
|
||||||
|
location on disk and compressed size using a fragment lookup table. This
|
||||||
|
fragment lookup table is itself stored compressed into metadata blocks.
|
||||||
|
A second index table is used to locate these. This second index table for
|
||||||
|
speed of access (and because it is small) is read at mount time and cached
|
||||||
|
in memory.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3.5 Uid/gid lookup table
|
||||||
|
------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For space efficiency regular files store uid and gid indexes, which are
|
||||||
|
converted to 32-bit uids/gids using an id look up table. This table is
|
||||||
|
stored compressed into metadata blocks. A second index table is used to
|
||||||
|
locate these. This second index table for speed of access (and because it
|
||||||
|
is small) is read at mount time and cached in memory.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3.6 Export table
|
||||||
|
----------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To enable Squashfs filesystems to be exportable (via NFS etc.) filesystems
|
||||||
|
can optionally (disabled with the -no-exports Mksquashfs option) contain
|
||||||
|
an inode number to inode disk location lookup table. This is required to
|
||||||
|
enable Squashfs to map inode numbers passed in filehandles to the inode
|
||||||
|
location on disk, which is necessary when the export code reinstantiates
|
||||||
|
expired/flushed inodes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This table is stored compressed into metadata blocks. A second index table is
|
||||||
|
used to locate these. This second index table for speed of access (and because
|
||||||
|
it is small) is read at mount time and cached in memory.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. TODOS AND OUTSTANDING ISSUES
|
||||||
|
-------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4.1 Todo list
|
||||||
|
-------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Implement Xattr and ACL support. The Squashfs 4.0 filesystem layout has hooks
|
||||||
|
for these but the code has not been written. Once the code has been written
|
||||||
|
the existing layout should not require modification.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4.2 Squashfs internal cache
|
||||||
|
---------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Blocks in Squashfs are compressed. To avoid repeatedly decompressing
|
||||||
|
recently accessed data Squashfs uses two small metadata and fragment caches.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The cache is not used for file datablocks, these are decompressed and cached in
|
||||||
|
the page-cache in the normal way. The cache is used to temporarily cache
|
||||||
|
fragment and metadata blocks which have been read as a result of a metadata
|
||||||
|
(i.e. inode or directory) or fragment access. Because metadata and fragments
|
||||||
|
are packed together into blocks (to gain greater compression) the read of a
|
||||||
|
particular piece of metadata or fragment will retrieve other metadata/fragments
|
||||||
|
which have been packed with it, these because of locality-of-reference may be
|
||||||
|
read in the near future. Temporarily caching them ensures they are available
|
||||||
|
for near future access without requiring an additional read and decompress.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the future this internal cache may be replaced with an implementation which
|
||||||
|
uses the kernel page cache. Because the page cache operates on page sized
|
||||||
|
units this may introduce additional complexity in terms of locking and
|
||||||
|
associated race conditions.

Description
|
||||||
|
-----------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Fintek F718xxFG/F8000 Super I/O chips include complete hardware monitoring
|
||||||
|
capabilities. They can monitor up to 9 voltages (3 for the F8000), 4 fans and
|
||||||
|
3 temperature sensors.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These chips also have fan controlling features, using either DC or PWM, in
|
||||||
|
three different modes (one manual, two automatic).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The driver assumes that no more than one chip is present, which seems
|
||||||
|
reasonable.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Monitoring
|
||||||
|
----------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Voltage, Fan and Temperature Monitoring uses the standard sysfs
|
||||||
|
interface as documented in sysfs-interface, without any exceptions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Fan Control
|
||||||
|
-----------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Both PWM (pulse-width modulation) and DC fan speed control methods are
|
||||||
|
supported. The right one to use depends on external circuitry on the
|
||||||
|
motherboard, so the driver assumes that the BIOS set the method
|
||||||
|
properly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are 2 modes to specify the speed of the fan, PWM duty cycle (or DC
|
||||||
|
voltage) mode, where 0-100% duty cycle (0-100% of 12V) is specified. And RPM
|
||||||
|
mode where the actual RPM of the fan (as measured) is controlled and the speed
|
||||||
|
gets specified as 0-100% of the fan#_full_speed file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since both modes work in a 0-100% (mapped to 0-255) scale, there isn't a
|
||||||
|
whole lot of a difference when modifying fan control settings. The only
|
||||||
|
important difference is that in RPM mode the 0-100% controls the fan speed
|
||||||
|
between 0-100% of fan#_full_speed. It is assumed that if the BIOS programs
|
||||||
|
RPM mode, it will also set fan#_full_speed properly, if it does not then
|
||||||
|
fan control will not work properly, unless you set a sane fan#_full_speed
|
||||||
|
value yourself.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Switching between these modes requires re-initializing a whole bunch of
|
||||||
|
registers, so the mode which the BIOS has set is kept. The mode is
|
||||||
|
printed when loading the driver.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Three different fan control modes are supported; the mode number is written
|
||||||
|
to the pwm#_enable file. Note that not all modes are supported on all
|
||||||
|
chips, and some modes may only be available in RPM / PWM mode on the F8000.
|
||||||
|
Writing an unsupported mode will result in an invalid parameter error.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* 1: Manual mode
|
||||||
|
You ask for a specific PWM duty cycle / DC voltage or a specific % of
|
||||||
|
fan#_full_speed by writing to the pwm# file. This mode is only
|
||||||
|
available on the F8000 if the fan channel is in RPM mode.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* 2: Normal auto mode
|
||||||
|
You can define a number of temperature/fan speed trip points, which % the
|
||||||
|
fan should run at at this temp and which temp a fan should follow using the
|
||||||
|
standard sysfs interface. The number and type of trip points is chip
|
||||||
|
depended, see which files are available in sysfs.
|
||||||
|
Fan/PWM channel 3 of the F8000 is always in this mode!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* 3: Thermostat mode (Only available on the F8000 when in duty cycle mode)
|
||||||
|
The fan speed is regulated to keep the temp the fan is mapped to between
|
||||||
|
temp#_auto_point2_temp and temp#_auto_point3_temp.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Both of the automatic modes require that pwm1 corresponds to fan1, pwm2 to
|
||||||
|
fan2 and pwm3 to fan3.

Description
|
||||||
|
-----------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The LTC4245 controller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed
|
||||||
|
from a live backplane in multiple supply systems such as CompactPCI and
|
||||||
|
PCI Express.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Usage Notes
|
||||||
|
-----------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This driver does not probe for LTC4245 devices, due to the fact that some
|
||||||
|
of the possible addresses are unfriendly to probing. You will need to use
|
||||||
|
the "force" parameter to tell the driver where to find the device.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4245 at address 0x23
|
||||||
|
on I2C bus #1:
|
||||||
|
$ modprobe ltc4245 force=1,0x23
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Sysfs entries
|
||||||
|
-------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The LTC4245 has built-in limits for over and under current warnings. This
|
||||||
|
makes it very likely that the reference circuit will be used.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This driver uses the values in the datasheet to change the register values
|
||||||
|
into the values specified in the sysfs-interface document. The current readings
|
||||||
|
rely on the sense resistors listed in Table 2: "Sense Resistor Values".

Software:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Build kernel with walkera0701 module. Module walkera0701 need exclusive
|
||||||
|
access to parport, modules like lp must be unloaded before loading
|
||||||
|
walkera0701 module, check dmesg for error messages. Connect TX to PC by
|
||||||
|
cable and run jstest /dev/input/js0 to see values from TX. If no value can
|
||||||
|
be changed by TX "joystick", check output from /proc/interrupts. Value for
|
||||||
|
(usually irq7) parport must increase if TX is on.

||||||
|
|
||||||
|

Technical details:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Driver use interrupt from parport ACK input bit to measure pulse length
|
||||||
|
using hrtimers.

(Warning, pulses on ACK ar inverted by transistor, irq is rised up on sync

|
Binary data representations:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
One binary and octal value can be grouped to nibble. 24 nibbles + one binary
|
||||||
|
values can be sampled between sync pulses.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Values for first four channels (analog joystick values) can be found in
|
||||||
|
first 10 nibbles. Analog value is represented by one sign bit and 9 bit
|
||||||
|
absolute binary value. (10 bits per channel). Next nibble is checksum for
|
||||||
|
first ten nibbles.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Next nibbles 12 .. 21 represents four channels (not all channels can be
|
||||||
|
directly controlled from TX). Binary representations ar the same as in first
|
||||||
|
four channels. In nibbles 22 and 23 is a special magic number. Nibble 24 is
|
||||||
|
checksum for nibbles 12..23.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After last octal value for nibble 24 and next sync pulse one additional
|
||||||
|
binary value can be sampled. This bit and magic number is not used in
|
||||||
|
software driver. Some details about this magic numbers can be found in
|
||||||
|
Walkera_Wk-0701_PCM.pdf.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Checksum calculation:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Summary of octal values in nibbles must be same as octal value in checksum
|
||||||
|
nibble (only first 3 bits are used). Binary value for checksum nibble is
|
||||||
|
calculated by sum of binary values in checked nibbles + sum of octal values
|
||||||
|
in checked nibbles divided by 8. Only bit 0 of this sum is used.

|
||||||
|
ARCH
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
Set ARCH to the architecture to be built.
|
||||||
|
In most cases the name of the architecture is the same as the
|
||||||
|
directory name found in the arch/ directory.
|
||||||
|
But some architectures suach as x86 and sparc has aliases.
|
||||||
|
x86: i386 for 32 bit, x86_64 for 64 bit
|
||||||
|
sparc: sparc for 32 bit, sparc64 for 64 bit
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
CROSS_COMPILE
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
Specify an optional fixed part of the binutils filename.
|
||||||
|
CROSS_COMPILE can be a part of the filename or the full path.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
CROSS_COMPILE is also used for ccache is some setups.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
CF
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
Additional options for sparse.
|
||||||
|
CF is often used on the command-line like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
make CF=-Wbitwise C=2
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
INSTALL_PATH
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
INSTALL_PATH specifies where to place the updated kernel and system map
|
||||||
|
images. Default is /boot, but you can set it to other values
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
MODLIB
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
Specify where to install modules.
|
||||||
|
The default value is:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$(INSTALL_MOD_PATH)/lib/modules/$(KERNELRELEASE)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The value can be overridden in which case the default value is ignored.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
INSTALL_MOD_PATH
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
INSTALL_MOD_PATH specifies a prefix to MODLIB for module directory
|
||||||
|
relocations required by build roots. This is not defined in the
|
||||||
|
makefile but the argument can be passed to make if needed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
INSTALL_MOD_STRIP
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
INSTALL_MOD_STRIP, if defined, will cause modules to be
|
||||||
|
stripped after they are installed. If INSTALL_MOD_STRIP is '1', then
|
||||||
|
the default option --strip-debug will be used. Otherwise,
|
||||||
|
INSTALL_MOD_STRIP will used as the options to the strip command.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
INSTALL_FW_PATH
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
INSTALL_FW_PATH specify where to install the firmware blobs.
|
||||||
|
The default value is:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$(INSTALL_MOD_PATH)/lib/firmware
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The value can be overridden in which case the default value is ignored.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
INSTALL_HDR_PATH
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
INSTALL_HDR_PATH specify where to install user space headers when
|
||||||
|
executing "make headers_*".
|
||||||
|
The default value is:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$(objtree)/usr
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$(objtree) is the directory where output files are saved.
|
||||||
|
The output directory is often set using "O=..." on the commandline.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The value can be overridden in which case the default value is ignored.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN can be set to avoid error out in case of undefined
|
||||||
|
symbols in the final module linking stage.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
KBUILD_MODPOST_FINAL
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
KBUILD_MODPOST_NOFINAL can be set to skip the final link of modules.
|
||||||
|
This is solely usefull to speed up test compiles.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
For modules use symbols from another modules.

|
||||||
|
to be included in the databases, separated by blankspace. e.g.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ make ALLSOURCE_ARCHS="x86 mips arm" tags

This file contains some assistance for using "make *config".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use "make help" to list all of the possible configuration targets.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The xconfig ('qconf') and menuconfig ('mconf') programs also
|
||||||
|
have embedded help text. Be sure to check it for navigation,
|
||||||

search, and other general help text.

|
||||||
|
General
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
New kernel releases often introduce new config symbols. Often more
|
||||||
|
important, new kernel releases may rename config symbols. When
|
||||||
|
this happens, using a previously working .config file and running
|
||||||
|
"make oldconfig" won't necessarily produce a working new kernel
|
||||||
|
for you, so you may find that you need to see what NEW kernel
|
||||||
|
symbols have been introduced.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To see a list of new config symbols when using "make oldconfig", use
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
cp user/some/old.config .config
|
||||||
|
yes "" | make oldconfig >conf.new
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
and the config program will list as (NEW) any new symbols that have
|
||||||
|
unknown values. Of course, the .config file is also updated with
|
||||||
|
new (default) values, so you can use:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
grep "(NEW)" conf.new
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
to see the new config symbols or you can 'diff' the previous and
|
||||||
|
new .config files to see the differences:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
diff .config.old .config | less
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(Yes, we need something better here.)

|
SEARCHING for CONFIG symbols
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Searching in menuconfig:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Search function searches for kernel configuration symbol
|
||||||
|
names, so you have to know something close to what you are
|
||||||
|
looking for.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Example:
|
||||||
|
/hotplug
|
||||||
|
This lists all config symbols that contain "hotplug",
|
||||||
|
e.g., HOTPLUG, HOTPLUG_CPU, MEMORY_HOTPLUG.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For search help, enter / followed TAB-TAB-TAB (to highlight
|
||||||
|
<Help>) and Enter. This will tell you that you can also use
|
||||||
|
regular expressions (regexes) in the search string, so if you
|
||||||
|
are not interested in MEMORY_HOTPLUG, you could try
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
/^hotplug
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

Color Themes for 'menuconfig'
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is possible to select different color themes using the variable
|
||||||
|
MENUCONFIG_COLOR. To select a theme use:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
make MENUCONFIG_COLOR=<theme> menuconfig
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Available themes are:
|
||||||
|
mono => selects colors suitable for monochrome displays
|
||||||
|
blackbg => selects a color scheme with black background
|
||||||
|
classic => theme with blue background. The classic look
|
||||||
|
bluetitle => a LCD friendly version of classic. (default)
|

Environment variables in 'menuconfig'
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
(partially based on lkml email from/by Rob Landley, re: miniconfig)
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
The allyesconfig/allmodconfig/allnoconfig/randconfig variants can
|
||||||
|
also use the environment variable KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG as a flag or a
|
||||||
|
filename that contains config symbols that the user requires to be
|
||||||
|
set to a specific value. If KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG is used without a
|
||||||
|
filename, "make *config" checks for a file named
|
||||||
|
"all{yes/mod/no/random}.config" (corresponding to the *config command
|
||||||
|
that was used) for symbol values that are to be forced. If this file
|
||||||
|
is not found, it checks for a file named "all.config" to contain forced
|
||||||
|
values.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This enables you to create "miniature" config (miniconfig) or custom
|
||||||
|
config files containing just the config symbols that you are interested
|
||||||
|
in. Then the kernel config system generates the full .config file,
|
||||||
|
including dependencies of your miniconfig file, based on the miniconfig
|
||||||
|
file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This 'KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG' file is a config file which contains
|
||||||
|
(usually a subset of all) preset config symbols. These variable
|
||||||
|
settings are still subject to normal dependency checks.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Examples:
|
||||||
|
KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=custom-notebook.config make allnoconfig
|
||||||
|
or
|
||||||
|
KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=mini.config make allnoconfig
|
||||||
|
or
|
||||||
|
make KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=mini.config allnoconfig
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These examples will disable most options (allnoconfig) but enable or
|
||||||
|
disable the options that are explicitly listed in the specified
|
||||||
|
mini-config files.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
If this variable has a non-blank value, it prevents silent kernel
|
||||||
|
config udpates (requires explicit updates).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
KCONFIG_CONFIG
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
This environment variable can be used to specify a default kernel config
|
||||||
|
file name to override the default name of ".config".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
KCONFIG_OVERWRITECONFIG
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
If you set KCONFIG_OVERWRITECONFIG in the environment, Kconfig will not
|
||||||
|
break symlinks when .config is a symlink to somewhere else.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
KCONFIG_NOTIMESTAMP
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
If this environment variable exists and is non-null, the timestamp line
|
||||||
|
in generated .config files is omitted.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
KCONFIG_AUTOCONFIG
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
This environment variable can be set to specify the path & name of the
|
||||||
|
"auto.conf" file. Its default value is "include/config/auto.conf".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
KCONFIG_AUTOHEADER
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
This environment variable can be set to specify the path & name of the
|
||||||
|
"autoconf.h" (header) file. Its default value is "include/linux/autoconf.h".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

menuconfig User Interface Options
|
||||||
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
MENUCONFIG_MODE
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
This mode shows all sub-menus in one large tree.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Example:
|
||||||
|
MENUCONFIG_MODE=single_menu make menuconfig
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
======================================================================
|
||||||
|
xconfig
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Searching in xconfig:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Search function searches for kernel configuration symbol
|
||||||
|
names, so you have to know something close to what you are
|
||||||
|
looking for.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Example:
|
||||||
|
Ctrl-F hotplug
|
||||||
|
or
|
||||||
|
Menu: File, Search, hotplug
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
lists all config symbol entries that contain "hotplug" in
|
||||||
|
the symbol name. In this Search dialog, you may change the
|
||||||
|
config setting for any of the entries that are not grayed out.
|
||||||
|
You can also enter a different search string without having
|
||||||
|
to return to the main menu.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
======================================================================
|
||||||
|
gconfig
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Searching in gconfig:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
None (gconfig isn't maintained as well as xconfig or menuconfig);
|
||||||
|
however, gconfig does have a few more viewing choices than
|
||||||
|
xconfig does.

Including documentation blocks in source files
|
||||||
|
----------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To facilitate having source code and comments close together, you can
|
||||||
|
include kernel-doc documentation blocks that are free-form comments
|
||||||
|
instead of being kernel-doc for functions, structures, unions,
|
||||||
|
enums, or typedefs. This could be used for something like a
|
||||||
|
theory of operation for a driver or library code, for example.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is done by using a DOC: section keyword with a section title. E.g.:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

This value adjusts the excess page trimming behaviour of power-of-2 aligned

NOMMU mmap allocations.
|

|
|

|
A value of 0 disables trimming of allocations entirely, while a value of 1

trims excess pages aggressively. Any value >= 1 acts as the watermark where

trimming of allocations is initiated.

|
======================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Each command (either root, master or slave with or without w1_netlink_cmd
|
||||||
|
structure) will be 'acked' by the w1 core. Format of the reply is the same
|
||||||
|
as request message except that length parameters do not account for data
|
||||||
|
requested by the user, i.e. read/write/touch IO requests will not contain
|
||||||
|
data, so w1_netlink_cmd.len will be 0, w1_netlink_msg.len will be size
|
||||||
|
of the w1_netlink_cmd structure and cn_msg.len will be equal to the sum
|
||||||
|
of the sizeof(struct w1_netlink_msg) and sizeof(struct w1_netlink_cmd).
|
||||||
|
If reply is generated for master or root command (which do not have
|
||||||
|
w1_netlink_cmd attached), reply will contain only cn_msg and w1_netlink_msg
|
||||||
|
structires.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
w1_netlink_msg.status field will carry positive error value
|
||||||
|
(EINVAL for example) or zero in case of success.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All other fields in every structure will mirror the same parameters in the
|
||||||
|
request message (except lengths as described above).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Status reply is generated for every w1_netlink_cmd embedded in the
|
||||||
|
w1_netlink_msg, if there are no w1_netlink_cmd structures,
|
||||||
|
reply will be generated for the w1_netlink_msg.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All w1_netlink_cmd command structures are handled in every w1_netlink_msg,
|
||||||

even if there were errors, only length mismatch interrupts message processing.

Driver for the Intel Wireless Wimax Connection 2400m
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(C) 2008 Intel Corporation < linux-wimax@intel.com >
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This provides a driver for the Intel Wireless WiMAX Connection 2400m
|
||||||
|
and a basic Linux kernel WiMAX stack.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Requirements
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Linux installation with Linux kernel 2.6.22 or newer (if building
|
||||||
|
from a separate tree)
|
||||||
|
* Intel i2400m Echo Peak or Baxter Peak; this includes the Intel
|
||||||
|
Wireless WiMAX/WiFi Link 5x50 series.
|
||||||
|
* build tools:
|
||||||
|
+ Linux kernel development package for the target kernel; to
|
||||||
|
build against your currently running kernel, you need to have
|
||||||
|
the kernel development package corresponding to the running
|
||||||
|
image installed (usually if your kernel is named
|
||||||
|
linux-VERSION, the development package is called
|
||||||
|
linux-dev-VERSION or linux-headers-VERSION).
|
||||||
|
+ GNU C Compiler, make
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Compilation and installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2.1. Compilation of the drivers included in the kernel
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Configure the kernel; to enable the WiMAX drivers select Drivers >
|
||||||
|
Networking Drivers > WiMAX device support. Enable all of them as
|
||||||
|
modules (easier).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If USB or SDIO are not enabled in the kernel configuration, the options
|
||||||
|
to build the i2400m USB or SDIO drivers will not show. Enable said
|
||||||
|
subsystems and go back to the WiMAX menu to enable the drivers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Compile and install your kernel as usual.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2.2. Compilation of the drivers distributed as an standalone module
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To compile
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ cd source/directory
|
||||||
|
$ make
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once built you can load and unload using the provided load.sh script;
|
||||||
|
load.sh will load the modules, load.sh u will unload them.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To install in the default kernel directories (and enable auto loading
|
||||||
|
when the device is plugged):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ make install
|
||||||
|
$ depmod -a
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If your kernel development files are located in a non standard
|
||||||
|
directory or if you want to build for a kernel that is not the
|
||||||
|
currently running one, set KDIR to the right location:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ make KDIR=/path/to/kernel/dev/tree
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For more information, please contact linux-wimax@intel.com.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. Installing the firmware
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The firmware can be obtained from http://linuxwimax.org or might have
|
||||||
|
been supplied with your hardware.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It has to be installed in the target system:
|
||||||
|
*
|
||||||
|
$ cp FIRMWAREFILE.sbcf /lib/firmware/i2400m-fw-BUSTYPE-1.3.sbcf
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* NOTE: if your firmware came in an .rpm or .deb file, just install
|
||||||
|
it as normal, with the rpm (rpm -i FIRMWARE.rpm) or dpkg
|
||||||
|
(dpkg -i FIRMWARE.deb) commands. No further action is needed.
|
||||||
|
* BUSTYPE will be usb or sdio, depending on the hardware you have.
|
||||||
|
Each hardware type comes with its own firmware and will not work
|
||||||
|
with other types.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. Design
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This package contains two major parts: a WiMAX kernel stack and a
|
||||||
|
driver for the Intel i2400m.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The WiMAX stack is designed to provide for common WiMAX control
|
||||||
|
services to current and future WiMAX devices from any vendor; please
|
||||||
|
see README.wimax for details.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The i2400m kernel driver is broken up in two main parts: the bus
|
||||||
|
generic driver and the bus-specific drivers. The bus generic driver
|
||||||
|
forms the drivercore and contain no knowledge of the actual method we
|
||||||
|
use to connect to the device. The bus specific drivers are just the
|
||||||
|
glue to connect the bus-generic driver and the device. Currently only
|
||||||
|
USB and SDIO are supported. See drivers/net/wimax/i2400m/i2400m.h for
|
||||||
|
more information.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The bus generic driver is logically broken up in two parts: OS-glue and
|
||||||
|
hardware-glue. The OS-glue interfaces with Linux. The hardware-glue
|
||||||
|
interfaces with the device on using an interface provided by the
|
||||||
|
bus-specific driver. The reason for this breakup is to be able to
|
||||||
|
easily reuse the hardware-glue to write drivers for other OSes; note
|
||||||
|
the hardware glue part is written as a native Linux driver; no
|
||||||
|
abstraction layers are used, so to port to another OS, the Linux kernel
|
||||||
|
API calls should be replaced with the target OS's.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5. Usage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To load the driver, follow the instructions in the install section;
|
||||||
|
once the driver is loaded, plug in the device (unless it is permanently
|
||||||
|
plugged in). The driver will enumerate the device, upload the firmware
|
||||||
|
and output messages in the kernel log (dmesg, /var/log/messages or
|
||||||
|
/var/log/kern.log) such as:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
...
|
||||||
|
i2400m_usb 5-4:1.0: firmware interface version 8.0.0
|
||||||
|
i2400m_usb 5-4:1.0: WiMAX interface wmx0 (00:1d:e1:01:94:2c) ready
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At this point the device is ready to work.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Current versions require the Intel WiMAX Network Service in userspace
|
||||||
|
to make things work. See the network service's README for instructions
|
||||||
|
on how to scan, connect and disconnect.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5.1. Module parameters
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Module parameters can be set at kernel or module load time or by
|
||||||
|
echoing values:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ echo VALUE > /sys/module/MODULENAME/parameters/PARAMETERNAME
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To make changes permanent, for example, for the i2400m module, you can
|
||||||
|
also create a file named /etc/modprobe.d/i2400m containing:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
options i2400m idle_mode_disabled=1
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To find which parameters are supported by a module, run:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ modinfo path/to/module.ko
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
During kernel bootup (if the driver is linked in the kernel), specify
|
||||||
|
the following to the kernel command line:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
i2400m.PARAMETER=VALUE
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5.1.1. i2400m: idle_mode_disabled
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The i2400m module supports a parameter to disable idle mode. This
|
||||||
|
parameter, once set, will take effect only when the device is
|
||||||
|
reinitialized by the driver (eg: following a reset or a reconnect).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5.2. Debug operations: debugfs entries
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The driver will register debugfs entries that allow the user to tweak
|
||||||
|
debug settings. There are three main container directories where
|
||||||
|
entries are placed, which correspond to the three blocks a i2400m WiMAX
|
||||||
|
driver has:
|
||||||
|
* /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:DEVNAME/ for the generic WiMAX stack
|
||||||
|
controls
|
||||||
|
* /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:DEVNAME/i2400m for the i2400m generic
|
||||||
|
driver controls
|
||||||
|
* /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:DEVNAME/i2400m-usb (or -sdio) for the
|
||||||
|
bus-specific i2400m-usb or i2400m-sdio controls).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Of course, if debugfs is mounted in a directory other than
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug, those paths will change.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5.2.1. Increasing debug output
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The files named *dl_* indicate knobs for controlling the debug output
|
||||||
|
of different submodules:
|
||||||
|
*
|
||||||
|
# find /sys/kernel/debug/wimax\:wmx0 -name \*dl_\*
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m-usb/dl_tx
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m-usb/dl_rx
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m-usb/dl_notif
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m-usb/dl_fw
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m-usb/dl_usb
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_tx
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_rx
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_rfkill
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_netdev
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_fw
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_debugfs
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_driver
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_control
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_stack
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_rfkill
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_reset
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_msg
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_id_table
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_debugfs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By reading the file you can obtain the current value of said debug
|
||||||
|
level; by writing to it, you can set it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To increase the debug level of, for example, the i2400m's generic TX
|
||||||
|
engine, just write:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ echo 3 > /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_tx
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Increasing numbers yield increasing debug information; for details of
|
||||||
|
what is printed and the available levels, check the source. The code
|
||||||
|
uses 0 for disabled and increasing values until 8.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5.2.2. RX and TX statistics
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The i2400m/rx_stats and i2400m/tx_stats provide statistics about the
|
||||||
|
data reception/delivery from the device:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/rx_stats
|
||||||
|
45 1 3 34 3104 48 480
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The numbers reported are
|
||||||
|
* packets/RX-buffer: total, min, max
|
||||||
|
* RX-buffers: total RX buffers received, accumulated RX buffer size
|
||||||
|
in bytes, min size received, max size received
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Thus, to find the average buffer size received, divide accumulated
|
||||||
|
RX-buffer / total RX-buffers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To clear the statistics back to 0, write anything to the rx_stats file:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m_rx_stats
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Likewise for TX.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note the packets this debug file refers to are not network packet, but
|
||||||
|
packets in the sense of the device-specific protocol for communication
|
||||||
|
to the host. See drivers/net/wimax/i2400m/tx.c.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5.2.3. Tracing messages received from user space
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To echo messages received from user space into the trace pipe that the
|
||||||
|
i2400m driver creates, set the debug file i2400m/trace_msg_from_user to
|
||||||
|
1:
|
||||||
|
*
|
||||||
|
$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/trace_msg_from_user
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5.2.4. Performing a device reset
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By writing a 0, a 1 or a 2 to the file
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/reset, the driver performs a warm (without
|
||||||
|
disconnecting from the bus), cold (disconnecting from the bus) or bus
|
||||||
|
(bus specific) reset on the device.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5.2.5. Asking the device to enter power saving mode
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By writing any value to the /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0 file, the
|
||||||
|
device will attempt to enter power saving mode.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
6. Troubleshooting
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
6.1. Driver complains about 'i2400m-fw-usb-1.2.sbcf: request failed'
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If upon connecting the device, the following is output in the kernel
|
||||||
|
log:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
i2400m_usb 5-4:1.0: fw i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.sbcf: request failed: -2
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This means that the driver cannot locate the firmware file named
|
||||||
|
/lib/firmware/i2400m-fw-usb-1.2.sbcf. Check that the file is present in
|
||||||
|
the right location.

Linux kernel WiMAX stack
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(C) 2008 Intel Corporation < linux-wimax@intel.com >
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This provides a basic Linux kernel WiMAX stack to provide a common
|
||||||
|
control API for WiMAX devices, usable from kernel and user space.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Design
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The WiMAX stack is designed to provide for common WiMAX control
|
||||||
|
services to current and future WiMAX devices from any vendor.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Because currently there is only one and we don't know what would be the
|
||||||
|
common services, the APIs it currently provides are very minimal.
|
||||||
|
However, it is done in such a way that it is easily extensible to
|
||||||
|
accommodate future requirements.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The stack works by embedding a struct wimax_dev in your device's
|
||||||
|
control structures. This provides a set of callbacks that the WiMAX
|
||||||
|
stack will call in order to implement control operations requested by
|
||||||
|
the user. As well, the stack provides API functions that the driver
|
||||||
|
calls to notify about changes of state in the device.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The stack exports the API calls needed to control the device to user
|
||||||
|
space using generic netlink as a marshalling mechanism. You can access
|
||||||
|
them using your own code or use the wrappers provided for your
|
||||||
|
convenience in libwimax (in the wimax-tools package).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For detailed information on the stack, please see
|
||||||
|
include/linux/wimax.h.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Usage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For usage in a driver (registration, API, etc) please refer to the
|
||||||
|
instructions in the header file include/linux/wimax.h.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When a device is registered with the WiMAX stack, a set of debugfs
|
||||||
|
files will appear in /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmxX can tweak for
|
||||||
|
control.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2.1. Obtaining debug information: debugfs entries
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The WiMAX stack is compiled, by default, with debug messages that can
|
||||||
|
be used to diagnose issues. By default, said messages are disabled.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The drivers will register debugfs entries that allow the user to tweak
|
||||||
|
debug settings.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Each driver, when registering with the stack, will cause a debugfs
|
||||||
|
directory named wimax:DEVICENAME to be created; optionally, it might
|
||||||
|
create more subentries below it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2.1.1. Increasing debug output
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The files named *dl_* indicate knobs for controlling the debug output
|
||||||
|
of different submodules of the WiMAX stack:
|
||||||
|
*
|
||||||
|
# find /sys/kernel/debug/wimax\:wmx0 -name \*dl_\*
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_stack
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_rfkill
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_reset
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_msg
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_id_table
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_debugfs
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/.... # other driver specific files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
NOTE: Of course, if debugfs is mounted in a directory other than
|
||||||
|
/sys/kernel/debug, those paths will change.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By reading the file you can obtain the current value of said debug
|
||||||
|
level; by writing to it, you can set it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To increase the debug level of, for example, the id-table submodule,
|
||||||
|
just write:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ echo 3 > /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_id_table
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Increasing numbers yield increasing debug information; for details of
|
||||||
|
what is printed and the available levels, check the source. The code
|
||||||
|
uses 0 for disabled and increasing values until 8.

- Verbose kernel compile/build output:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Normally the kernel build system runs in a fairly quiet mode (but not
|
||||||
|
totally silent). However, sometimes you or other kernel developers need
|
||||||
|
to see compile, link, or other commands exactly as they are executed.
|
||||||
|
For this, use "verbose" build mode. This is done by inserting
|
||||||
|
"V=1" in the "make" command. E.g.:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
make V=1 all
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To have the build system also tell the reason for the rebuild of each
|
||||||
|
target, use "V=2". The default is "V=0".
