Description:
The Trusted Computing Group(TCG) runtime Integrity
Measurement Architecture(IMA) maintains a list of hash
values of executables and other sensitive system files
loaded into the run-time of this system. At runtime,
the policy can be constrained based on LSM specific data.
Policies are loaded into the securityfs file ima/policy
by opening the file, writing the rules one at a time and
then closing the file. The new policy takes effect after
the file ima/policy is closed.
rule format: action [condition ...]
action: measure | dont_measure
condition:= base | lsm
base: [[func=] [mask=] [fsmagic=] [uid=]]
lsm: [[subj_user=] [subj_role=] [subj_type=]
[obj_user=] [obj_role=] [obj_type=]]
base: func:= [BPRM_CHECK][FILE_MMAP][INODE_PERMISSION]
mask:= [MAY_READ] [MAY_WRITE] [MAY_APPEND] [MAY_EXEC]
fsmagic:= hex value
uid:= decimal value
lsm: are LSM specific
default policy:
# PROC_SUPER_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0x9fa0
# SYSFS_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0x62656572
# DEBUGFS_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0x64626720
# TMPFS_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0x01021994
# SECURITYFS_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0x73636673
measure func=BPRM_CHECK
measure func=FILE_MMAP mask=MAY_EXEC
measure func=INODE_PERM mask=MAY_READ uid=0
The default policy measures all executables in bprm_check,
all files mmapped executable in file_mmap, and all files
open for read by root in inode_permission.
Examples of LSM specific definitions:
SELinux:
# SELINUX_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0xF97CFF8C
dont_measure obj_type=var_log_t
dont_measure obj_type=auditd_log_t
measure subj_user=system_u func=INODE_PERM mask=MAY_READ

The return value will be either a pointer to the processor virtual
address of the memory, or an error (via PTR_ERR()) if any part of the

Part III - Debug drivers use of the DMA-API
-------------------------------------------
The DMA-API as described above as some constraints. DMA addresses must be
released with the corresponding function with the same size for example. With
the advent of hardware IOMMUs it becomes more and more important that drivers
do not violate those constraints. In the worst case such a violation can
result in data corruption up to destroyed filesystems.
To debug drivers and find bugs in the usage of the DMA-API checking code can
be compiled into the kernel which will tell the developer about those
violations. If your architecture supports it you can select the "Enable
debugging of DMA-API usage" option in your kernel configuration. Enabling this
option has a performance impact. Do not enable it in production kernels.
If you boot the resulting kernel will contain code which does some bookkeeping
about what DMA memory was allocated for which device. If this code detects an
error it prints a warning message with some details into your kernel log. An
example warning message may look like this:
------------[ cut here ]------------

The driver developer can find the driver and the device including a stacktrace
of the DMA-API call which caused this warning.
Per default only the first error will result in a warning message. All other
errors will only silently counted. This limitation exist to prevent the code
from flooding your kernel log. To support debugging a device driver this can
be disabled via debugfs. See the debugfs interface documentation below for
details.
The debugfs directory for the DMA-API debugging code is called dma-api/. In
this directory the following files can currently be found:
dma-api/all_errors This file contains a numeric value. If this
value is not equal to zero the debugging code
will print a warning for every error it finds
into the kernel log. Be carefull with this
option. It can easily flood your logs.
dma-api/disabled This read-only file contains the character 'Y'
if the debugging code is disabled. This can
happen when it runs out of memory or if it was
disabled at boot time
dma-api/error_count This file is read-only and shows the total
numbers of errors found.
dma-api/num_errors The number in this file shows how many
warnings will be printed to the kernel log
before it stops. This number is initialized to
one at system boot and be set by writing into
this file
dma-api/min_free_entries
This read-only file can be read to get the
minimum number of free dma_debug_entries the
allocator has ever seen. If this value goes
down to zero the code will disable itself
because it is not longer reliable.
dma-api/num_free_entries
The current number of free dma_debug_entries
in the allocator.
If you have this code compiled into your kernel it will be enabled by default.
If you want to boot without the bookkeeping anyway you can provide
'dma_debug=off' as a boot parameter. This will disable DMA-API debugging.
Notice that you can not enable it again at runtime. You have to reboot to do
so.
When the code disables itself at runtime this is most likely because it ran
out of dma_debug_entries. These entries are preallocated at boot. The number
of preallocated entries is defined per architecture. If it is too low for you
boot with 'dma_debug_entries=<your_desired_number>' to overwrite the
architectural default.

1. About this guide
This guide describes the basics of Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI),
the advantages of using MSI over traditional interrupt mechanisms,
and how to enable your driver to use MSI or MSI-X. Also included is
a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section.
This guide describes the basics of Message Signaled Interrupts (MSIs),
the advantages of using MSI over traditional interrupt mechanisms, how
to change your driver to use MSI or MSI-X and some basic diagnostics to
try if a device doesn't support MSIs.
1.1 Terminology
PCI devices can be single-function or multi-function. In either case,
when this text talks about enabling or disabling MSI on a "device
function," it is referring to one specific PCI device and function and
not to all functions on a PCI device (unless the PCI device has only
one function).
2. What are MSIs?
2. Copyright 2003 Intel Corporation
A Message Signaled Interrupt is a write from the device to a special
address which causes an interrupt to be received by the CPU.
3. What is MSI/MSI-X?
The MSI capability was first specified in PCI 2.2 and was later enhanced
in PCI 3.0 to allow each interrupt to be masked individually. The MSI-X
capability was also introduced with PCI 3.0. It supports more interrupts
per device than MSI and allows interrupts to be independently configured.
Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI), as described in the PCI Local Bus
Specification Revision 2.3 or later, is an optional feature, and a
required feature for PCI Express devices. MSI enables a device function
to request service by sending an Inbound Memory Write on its PCI bus to
the FSB as a Message Signal Interrupt transaction. Because MSI is
generated in the form of a Memory Write, all transaction conditions,
such as a Retry, Master-Abort, Target-Abort or normal completion, are
supported.
Devices may support both MSI and MSI-X, but only one can be enabled at
a time.
A PCI device that supports MSI must also support pin IRQ assertion
interrupt mechanism to provide backward compatibility for systems that
do not support MSI. In systems which support MSI, the bus driver is
responsible for initializing the message address and message data of
the device function's MSI/MSI-X capability structure during device
initial configuration.
An MSI capable device function indicates MSI support by implementing
the MSI/MSI-X capability structure in its PCI capability list. The
device function may implement both the MSI capability structure and
the MSI-X capability structure; however, the bus driver should not
enable both.
3. Why use MSIs?
The MSI capability structure contains Message Control register,
Message Address register and Message Data register. These registers
provide the bus driver control over MSI. The Message Control register
indicates the MSI capability supported by the device. The Message
Address register specifies the target address and the Message Data
register specifies the characteristics of the message. To request
service, the device function writes the content of the Message Data
register to the target address. The device and its software driver
are prohibited from writing to these registers.
There are three reasons why using MSIs can give an advantage over
traditional pin-based interrupts.
The MSI-X capability structure is an optional extension to MSI. It
uses an independent and separate capability structure. There are
some key advantages to implementing the MSI-X capability structure
over the MSI capability structure as described below.
Pin-based PCI interrupts are often shared amongst several devices.
To support this, the kernel must call each interrupt handler associated
with an interrupt, which leads to reduced performance for the system as
a whole. MSIs are never shared, so this problem cannot arise.
- Support a larger maximum number of vectors per function.
When a device writes data to memory, then raises a pin-based interrupt,
it is possible that the interrupt may arrive before all the data has
arrived in memory (this becomes more likely with devices behind PCI-PCI
bridges). In order to ensure that all the data has arrived in memory,
the interrupt handler must read a register on the device which raised
the interrupt. PCI transaction ordering rules require that all the data
arrives in memory before the value can be returned from the register.
Using MSIs avoids this problem as the interrupt-generating write cannot
pass the data writes, so by the time the interrupt is raised, the driver
knows that all the data has arrived in memory.
- Provide the ability for system software to configure
each vector with an independent message address and message
data, specified by a table that resides in Memory Space.
PCI devices can only support a single pin-based interrupt per function.
Often drivers have to query the device to find out what event has
occurred, slowing down interrupt handling for the common case. With
MSIs, a device can support more interrupts, allowing each interrupt
to be specialised to a different purpose. One possible design gives
infrequent conditions (such as errors) their own interrupt which allows
the driver to handle the normal interrupt handling path more efficiently.
Other possible designs include giving one interrupt to each packet queue
in a network card or each port in a storage controller.
- MSI and MSI-X both support per-vector masking. Per-vector
masking is an optional extension of MSI but a required
feature for MSI-X. Per-vector masking provides the kernel the
ability to mask/unmask a single MSI while running its
interrupt service routine. If per-vector masking is
not supported, then the device driver should provide the
hardware/software synchronization to ensure that the device
generates MSI when the driver wants it to do so.
4. Why use MSI?
4. How to use MSIs
As a benefit to the simplification of board design, MSI allows board
designers to remove out-of-band interrupt routing. MSI is another
step towards a legacy-free environment.
PCI devices are initialised to use pin-based interrupts. The device
driver has to set up the device to use MSI or MSI-X. Not all machines
support MSIs correctly, and for those machines, the APIs described below
will simply fail and the device will continue to use pin-based interrupts.
Due to increasing pressure on chipset and processor packages to
reduce pin count, the need for interrupt pins is expected to
diminish over time. Devices, due to pin constraints, may implement
messages to increase performance.
4.1 Include kernel support for MSIs
PCI Express endpoints uses INTx emulation (in-band messages) instead
of IRQ pin assertion. Using INTx emulation requires interrupt
sharing among devices connected to the same node (PCI bridge) while
MSI is unique (non-shared) and does not require BIOS configuration
support. As a result, the PCI Express technology requires MSI
support for better interrupt performance.
To support MSI or MSI-X, the kernel must be built with the CONFIG_PCI_MSI
option enabled. This option is only available on some architectures,
and it may depend on some other options also being set. For example,
on x86, you must also enable X86_UP_APIC or SMP in order to see the
CONFIG_PCI_MSI option.
Using MSI enables the device functions to support two or more
vectors, which can be configured to target different CPUs to
increase scalability.
4.2 Using MSI
5. Configuring a driver to use MSI/MSI-X
Most of the hard work is done for the driver in the PCI layer. It simply
has to request that the PCI layer set up the MSI capability for this
device.
By default, the kernel will not enable MSI/MSI-X on all devices that
support this capability. The CONFIG_PCI_MSI kernel option
must be selected to enable MSI/MSI-X support.
5.1 Including MSI/MSI-X support into the kernel
To allow MSI/MSI-X capable device drivers to selectively enable
MSI/MSI-X (using pci_enable_msi()/pci_enable_msix() as described
below), the VECTOR based scheme needs to be enabled by setting
CONFIG_PCI_MSI during kernel config.
Since the target of the inbound message is the local APIC, providing
CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC must be enabled as well as CONFIG_PCI_MSI.
5.2 Configuring for MSI support
Due to the non-contiguous fashion in vector assignment of the
existing Linux kernel, this version does not support multiple
messages regardless of a device function is capable of supporting
more than one vector. To enable MSI on a device function's MSI
capability structure requires a device driver to call the function
pci_enable_msi() explicitly.
5.2.1 API pci_enable_msi
4.2.1 pci_enable_msi
int pci_enable_msi(struct pci_dev *dev)
With this new API, a device driver that wants to have MSI
enabled on its device function must call this API to enable MSI.
A successful call will initialize the MSI capability structure
with ONE vector, regardless of whether a device function is
capable of supporting multiple messages. This vector replaces the
pre-assigned dev->irq with a new MSI vector. To avoid a conflict
of the new assigned vector with existing pre-assigned vector requires
a device driver to call this API before calling request_irq().
A successful call will allocate ONE interrupt to the device, regardless
of how many MSIs the device supports. The device will be switched from
pin-based interrupt mode to MSI mode. The dev->irq number is changed
to a new number which represents the message signaled interrupt.
This function should be called before the driver calls request_irq()
since enabling MSIs disables the pin-based IRQ and the driver will not
receive interrupts on the old interrupt.
5.2.2 API pci_disable_msi
4.2.2 pci_enable_msi_block
int pci_enable_msi_block(struct pci_dev *dev, int count)
This variation on the above call allows a device driver to request multiple
MSIs. The MSI specification only allows interrupts to be allocated in
powers of two, up to a maximum of 2^5 (32).
If this function returns 0, it has succeeded in allocating at least as many
interrupts as the driver requested (it may have allocated more in order
to satisfy the power-of-two requirement). In this case, the function
enables MSI on this device and updates dev->irq to be the lowest of
the new interrupts assigned to it. The other interrupts assigned to
the device are in the range dev->irq to dev->irq + count - 1.
If this function returns a negative number, it indicates an error and
the driver should not attempt to request any more MSI interrupts for
this device. If this function returns a positive number, it will be
less than 'count' and indicate the number of interrupts that could have
been allocated. In neither case will the irq value have been
updated, nor will the device have been switched into MSI mode.
The device driver must decide what action to take if
pci_enable_msi_block() returns a value less than the number asked for.
Some devices can make use of fewer interrupts than the maximum they
request; in this case the driver should call pci_enable_msi_block()
again. Note that it is not guaranteed to succeed, even when the
'count' has been reduced to the value returned from a previous call to
pci_enable_msi_block(). This is because there are multiple constraints
on the number of vectors that can be allocated; pci_enable_msi_block()
will return as soon as it finds any constraint that doesn't allow the
call to succeed.
4.2.3 pci_disable_msi
void pci_disable_msi(struct pci_dev *dev)
This API should always be used to undo the effect of pci_enable_msi()
when a device driver is unloading. This API restores dev->irq with
the pre-assigned IOAPIC vector and switches a device's interrupt
mode to PCI pin-irq assertion/INTx emulation mode.
This function should be used to undo the effect of pci_enable_msi() or
pci_enable_msi_block(). Calling it restores dev->irq to the pin-based
interrupt number and frees the previously allocated message signaled
interrupt(s). The interrupt may subsequently be assigned to another
device, so drivers should not cache the value of dev->irq.
Note that a device driver should always call free_irq() on the MSI vector
that it has done request_irq() on before calling this API. Failure to do
so results in a BUG_ON() and a device will be left with MSI enabled and
leaks its vector.
A device driver must always call free_irq() on the interrupt(s)
for which it has called request_irq() before calling this function.
Failure to do so will result in a BUG_ON(), the device will be left with
MSI enabled and will leak its vector.
5.2.3 MSI mode vs. legacy mode diagram
4.3 Using MSI-X
The below diagram shows the events which switch the interrupt
mode on the MSI-capable device function between MSI mode and
PIN-IRQ assertion mode.
------------ pci_enable_msi ------------------------
| | <=============== | |
| MSI MODE | | PIN-IRQ ASSERTION MODE |
| | ===============> | |
------------ pci_disable_msi ------------------------
Figure 1. MSI Mode vs. Legacy Mode
In Figure 1, a device operates by default in legacy mode. Legacy
in this context means PCI pin-irq assertion or PCI-Express INTx
emulation. A successful MSI request (using pci_enable_msi()) switches
a device's interrupt mode to MSI mode. A pre-assigned IOAPIC vector
stored in dev->irq will be saved by the PCI subsystem and a new
assigned MSI vector will replace dev->irq.
To return back to its default mode, a device driver should always call
pci_disable_msi() to undo the effect of pci_enable_msi(). Note that a
device driver should always call free_irq() on the MSI vector it has
done request_irq() on before calling pci_disable_msi(). Failure to do
so results in a BUG_ON() and a device will be left with MSI enabled and
leaks its vector. Otherwise, the PCI subsystem restores a device's
dev->irq with a pre-assigned IOAPIC vector and marks the released
MSI vector as unused.
Once being marked as unused, there is no guarantee that the PCI
subsystem will reserve this MSI vector for a device. Depending on
the availability of current PCI vector resources and the number of
MSI/MSI-X requests from other drivers, this MSI may be re-assigned.
For the case where the PCI subsystem re-assigns this MSI vector to
another driver, a request to switch back to MSI mode may result
in being assigned a different MSI vector or a failure if no more
vectors are available.
5.3 Configuring for MSI-X support
Due to the ability of the system software to configure each vector of
the MSI-X capability structure with an independent message address
and message data, the non-contiguous fashion in vector assignment of
the existing Linux kernel has no impact on supporting multiple
messages on an MSI-X capable device functions. To enable MSI-X on
a device function's MSI-X capability structure requires its device
driver to call the function pci_enable_msix() explicitly.
The function pci_enable_msix(), once invoked, enables either
all or nothing, depending on the current availability of PCI vector
resources. If the PCI vector resources are available for the number
of vectors requested by a device driver, this function will configure
the MSI-X table of the MSI-X capability structure of a device with
requested messages. To emphasize this reason, for example, a device
may be capable for supporting the maximum of 32 vectors while its
software driver usually may request 4 vectors. It is recommended
that the device driver should call this function once during the
initialization phase of the device driver.
Unlike the function pci_enable_msi(), the function pci_enable_msix()
does not replace the pre-assigned IOAPIC dev->irq with a new MSI
vector because the PCI subsystem writes the 1:1 vector-to-entry mapping
into the field vector of each element contained in a second argument.
Note that the pre-assigned IOAPIC dev->irq is valid only if the device
operates in PIN-IRQ assertion mode. In MSI-X mode, any attempt at
using dev->irq by the device driver to request for interrupt service
may result in unpredictable behavior.
For each MSI-X vector granted, a device driver is responsible for calling
other functions like request_irq(), enable_irq(), etc. to enable
this vector with its corresponding interrupt service handler. It is
a device driver's choice to assign all vectors with the same
interrupt service handler or each vector with a unique interrupt
service handler.
5.3.1 Handling MMIO address space of MSI-X Table
The PCI 3.0 specification has implementation notes that MMIO address
space for a device's MSI-X structure should be isolated so that the
software system can set different pages for controlling accesses to the
MSI-X structure. The implementation of MSI support requires the PCI
subsystem, not a device driver, to maintain full control of the MSI-X
table/MSI-X PBA (Pending Bit Array) and MMIO address space of the MSI-X
table/MSI-X PBA. A device driver should not access the MMIO address
space of the MSI-X table/MSI-X PBA.
5.3.2 API pci_enable_msix
int pci_enable_msix(struct pci_dev *dev, struct msix_entry *entries, int nvec)
This API enables a device driver to request the PCI subsystem
to enable MSI-X messages on its hardware device. Depending on
the availability of PCI vectors resources, the PCI subsystem enables
either all or none of the requested vectors.
Argument 'dev' points to the device (pci_dev) structure.
Argument 'entries' is a pointer to an array of msix_entry structs.
The number of entries is indicated in argument 'nvec'.
struct msix_entry is defined in /driver/pci/msi.h:
The MSI-X capability is much more flexible than the MSI capability.
It supports up to 2048 interrupts, each of which can be controlled
independently. To support this flexibility, drivers must use an array of
`struct msix_entry':
struct msix_entry {
u16 vector; /* kernel uses to write alloc vector */
u16 entry; /* driver uses to specify entry */
};
A device driver is responsible for initializing the field 'entry' of
each element with a unique entry supported by MSI-X table. Otherwise,
-EINVAL will be returned as a result. A successful return of zero
indicates the PCI subsystem completed initializing each of the requested
entries of the MSI-X table with message address and message data.
Last but not least, the PCI subsystem will write the 1:1
vector-to-entry mapping into the field 'vector' of each element. A
device driver is responsible for keeping track of allocated MSI-X
vectors in its internal data structure.
This allows for the device to use these interrupts in a sparse fashion;
for example it could use interrupts 3 and 1027 and allocate only a
two-element array. The driver is expected to fill in the 'entry' value
in each element of the array to indicate which entries it wants the kernel
to assign interrupts for. It is invalid to fill in two entries with the
same number.
A return of zero indicates that the number of MSI-X vectors was
successfully allocated. A return of greater than zero indicates
MSI-X vector shortage. Or a return of less than zero indicates
a failure. This failure may be a result of duplicate entries
specified in second argument, or a result of no available vector,
or a result of failing to initialize MSI-X table entries.
4.3.1 pci_enable_msix
5.3.3 API pci_disable_msix
int pci_enable_msix(struct pci_dev *dev, struct msix_entry *entries, int nvec)
Calling this function asks the PCI subsystem to allocate 'nvec' MSIs.
The 'entries' argument is a pointer to an array of msix_entry structs
which should be at least 'nvec' entries in size. On success, the
function will return 0 and the device will have been switched into
MSI-X interrupt mode. The 'vector' elements in each entry will have
been filled in with the interrupt number. The driver should then call
request_irq() for each 'vector' that it decides to use.
If this function returns a negative number, it indicates an error and
the driver should not attempt to allocate any more MSI-X interrupts for
this device. If it returns a positive number, it indicates the maximum
number of interrupt vectors that could have been allocated. See example
below.
This function, in contrast with pci_enable_msi(), does not adjust
dev->irq. The device will not generate interrupts for this interrupt
number once MSI-X is enabled. The device driver is responsible for
keeping track of the interrupts assigned to the MSI-X vectors so it can
free them again later.
Device drivers should normally call this function once per device
during the initialization phase.
It is ideal if drivers can cope with a variable number of MSI-X interrupts,
there are many reasons why the platform may not be able to provide the
exact number a driver asks for.
A request loop to achieve that might look like:
static int foo_driver_enable_msix(struct foo_adapter *adapter, int nvec)
{
while (nvec >= FOO_DRIVER_MINIMUM_NVEC) {
rc = pci_enable_msix(adapter->pdev,
adapter->msix_entries, nvec);
if (rc > 0)
nvec = rc;
else
return rc;
}
return -ENOSPC;
}
4.3.2 pci_disable_msix
void pci_disable_msix(struct pci_dev *dev)
This API should always be used to undo the effect of pci_enable_msix()
when a device driver is unloading. Note that a device driver should
always call free_irq() on all MSI-X vectors it has done request_irq()
on before calling this API. Failure to do so results in a BUG_ON() and
a device will be left with MSI-X enabled and leaks its vectors.
This API should be used to undo the effect of pci_enable_msix(). It frees
the previously allocated message signaled interrupts. The interrupts may
subsequently be assigned to another device, so drivers should not cache
the value of the 'vector' elements over a call to pci_disable_msix().
5.3.4 MSI-X mode vs. legacy mode diagram
A device driver must always call free_irq() on the interrupt(s)
for which it has called request_irq() before calling this function.
Failure to do so will result in a BUG_ON(), the device will be left with
MSI enabled and will leak its vector.
The below diagram shows the events which switch the interrupt
mode on the MSI-X capable device function between MSI-X mode and
PIN-IRQ assertion mode (legacy).
4.3.3 The MSI-X Table
------------ pci_enable_msix(,,n) ------------------------
| | <=============== | |
| MSI-X MODE | | PIN-IRQ ASSERTION MODE |
| | ===============> | |
------------ pci_disable_msix ------------------------
The MSI-X capability specifies a BAR and offset within that BAR for the
MSI-X Table. This address is mapped by the PCI subsystem, and should not
be accessed directly by the device driver. If the driver wishes to
mask or unmask an interrupt, it should call disable_irq() / enable_irq().
Figure 2. MSI-X Mode vs. Legacy Mode
4.4 Handling devices implementing both MSI and MSI-X capabilities
In Figure 2, a device operates by default in legacy mode. A
successful MSI-X request (using pci_enable_msix()) switches a
device's interrupt mode to MSI-X mode. A pre-assigned IOAPIC vector
stored in dev->irq will be saved by the PCI subsystem; however,
unlike MSI mode, the PCI subsystem will not replace dev->irq with
assigned MSI-X vector because the PCI subsystem already writes the 1:1
vector-to-entry mapping into the field 'vector' of each element
specified in second argument.
If a device implements both MSI and MSI-X capabilities, it can
run in either MSI mode or MSI-X mode but not both simultaneously.
This is a requirement of the PCI spec, and it is enforced by the
PCI layer. Calling pci_enable_msi() when MSI-X is already enabled or
pci_enable_msix() when MSI is already enabled will result in an error.
If a device driver wishes to switch between MSI and MSI-X at runtime,
it must first quiesce the device, then switch it back to pin-interrupt
mode, before calling pci_enable_msi() or pci_enable_msix() and resuming
operation. This is not expected to be a common operation but may be
useful for debugging or testing during development.
To return back to its default mode, a device driver should always call
pci_disable_msix() to undo the effect of pci_enable_msix(). Note that
a device driver should always call free_irq() on all MSI-X vectors it
has done request_irq() on before calling pci_disable_msix(). Failure
to do so results in a BUG_ON() and a device will be left with MSI-X
enabled and leaks its vectors. Otherwise, the PCI subsystem switches a
device function's interrupt mode from MSI-X mode to legacy mode and
marks all allocated MSI-X vectors as unused.
4.5 Considerations when using MSIs
Once being marked as unused, there is no guarantee that the PCI
subsystem will reserve these MSI-X vectors for a device. Depending on
the availability of current PCI vector resources and the number of
MSI/MSI-X requests from other drivers, these MSI-X vectors may be
re-assigned.
4.5.1 Choosing between MSI-X and MSI
For the case where the PCI subsystem re-assigned these MSI-X vectors
to other drivers, a request to switch back to MSI-X mode may result
being assigned with another set of MSI-X vectors or a failure if no
more vectors are available.
If your device supports both MSI-X and MSI capabilities, you should use
the MSI-X facilities in preference to the MSI facilities. As mentioned
above, MSI-X supports any number of interrupts between 1 and 2048.
In constrast, MSI is restricted to a maximum of 32 interrupts (and
must be a power of two). In addition, the MSI interrupt vectors must
be allocated consecutively, so the system may not be able to allocate
as many vectors for MSI as it could for MSI-X. On some platforms, MSI
interrupts must all be targetted at the same set of CPUs whereas MSI-X
interrupts can all be targetted at different CPUs.
5.4 Handling function implementing both MSI and MSI-X capabilities
4.5.2 Spinlocks
For the case where a function implements both MSI and MSI-X
capabilities, the PCI subsystem enables a device to run either in MSI
mode or MSI-X mode but not both. A device driver determines whether it
wants MSI or MSI-X enabled on its hardware device. Once a device
driver requests for MSI, for example, it is prohibited from requesting
MSI-X; in other words, a device driver is not permitted to ping-pong
between MSI mod MSI-X mode during a run-time.
Most device drivers have a per-device spinlock which is taken in the
interrupt handler. With pin-based interrupts or a single MSI, it is not
necessary to disable interrupts (Linux guarantees the same interrupt will
not be re-entered). If a device uses multiple interrupts, the driver
must disable interrupts while the lock is held. If the device sends
a different interrupt, the driver will deadlock trying to recursively
acquire the spinlock.
5.5 Hardware requirements for MSI/MSI-X support
There are two solutions. The first is to take the lock with
spin_lock_irqsave() or spin_lock_irq() (see
Documentation/DocBook/kernel-locking). The second is to specify
IRQF_DISABLED to request_irq() so that the kernel runs the entire
interrupt routine with interrupts disabled.
MSI/MSI-X support requires support from both system hardware and
individual hardware device functions.
If your MSI interrupt routine does not hold the lock for the whole time
it is running, the first solution may be best. The second solution is
normally preferred as it avoids making two transitions from interrupt
disabled to enabled and back again.
5.5.1 Required x86 hardware support
4.6 How to tell whether MSI/MSI-X is enabled on a device
Since the target of MSI address is the local APIC CPU, enabling
MSI/MSI-X support in the Linux kernel is dependent on whether existing
system hardware supports local APIC. Users should verify that their
system supports local APIC operation by testing that it runs when
CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y.
Using 'lspci -v' (as root) may show some devices with "MSI", "Message
Signalled Interrupts" or "MSI-X" capabilities. Each of these capabilities
has an 'Enable' flag which will be followed with either "+" (enabled)
or "-" (disabled).
In SMP environment, CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC is automatically set;
however, in UP environment, users must manually set
CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC. Once CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y, setting
CONFIG_PCI_MSI enables the VECTOR based scheme and the option for
MSI-capable device drivers to selectively enable MSI/MSI-X.
Note that CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC setting is irrelevant because MSI/MSI-X
vector is allocated new during runtime and MSI/MSI-X support does not
depend on BIOS support. This key independency enables MSI/MSI-X
support on future IOxAPIC free platforms.
5. MSI quirks
5.5.2 Device hardware support
Several PCI chipsets or devices are known not to support MSIs.
The PCI stack provides three ways to disable MSIs:
The hardware device function supports MSI by indicating the
MSI/MSI-X capability structure on its PCI capability list. By
default, this capability structure will not be initialized by
the kernel to enable MSI during the system boot. In other words,
the device function is running on its default pin assertion mode.
Note that in many cases the hardware supporting MSI have bugs,
which may result in system hangs. The software driver of specific
MSI-capable hardware is responsible for deciding whether to call
pci_enable_msi or not. A return of zero indicates the kernel
successfully initialized the MSI/MSI-X capability structure of the
device function. The device function is now running on MSI/MSI-X mode.

2. on all devices behind a specific bridge
3. on a single device
5.6 How to tell whether MSI/MSI-X is enabled on device function
5.1. Disabling MSIs globally
At the driver level, a return of zero from the function call of
pci_enable_msi()/pci_enable_msix() indicates to a device driver that
its device function is initialized successfully and ready to run in
MSI/MSI-X mode.
Some host chipsets simply don't support MSIs properly. If we're
lucky, the manufacturer knows this and has indicated it in the ACPI
FADT table. In this case, Linux will automatically disable MSIs.
Some boards don't include this information in the table and so we have
to detect them ourselves. The complete list of these is found near the
quirk_disable_all_msi() function in drivers/pci/quirks.c.
At the user level, users can use the command 'cat /proc/interrupts'
to display the vectors allocated for devices and their interrupt
MSI/MSI-X modes ("PCI-MSI"/"PCI-MSI-X"). Below shows MSI mode is
enabled on a SCSI Adaptec 39320D Ultra320 controller.
If you have a board which has problems with MSIs, you can pass pci=nomsi
on the kernel command line to disable MSIs on all devices. It would be
in your best interests to report the problem to linux-pci@vger.kernel.org
including a full 'lspci -v' so we can add the quirks to the kernel.

5.2. Disabling MSIs below a bridge
6. MSI quirks
Some PCI bridges are not able to route MSIs between busses properly.
In this case, MSIs must be disabled on all devices behind the bridge.
Several PCI chipsets or devices are known to not support MSI.
The PCI stack provides 3 possible levels of MSI disabling:
* on a single device
* on all devices behind a specific bridge
* globally
Some bridges allow you to enable MSIs by changing some bits in their
PCI configuration space (especially the Hypertransport chipsets such
as the nVidia nForce and Serverworks HT2000). As with host chipsets,
Linux mostly knows about them and automatically enables MSIs if it can.
If you have a bridge which Linux doesn't yet know about, you can enable
MSIs in configuration space using whatever method you know works, then
enable MSIs on that bridge by doing:
6.1. Disabling MSI on a single device
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/$bridge/msi_bus
Under some circumstances it might be required to disable MSI on a
single device. This may be achieved by either not calling pci_enable_msi()
or all, or setting the pci_dev->no_msi flag before (most of the time
in a quirk).
where $bridge is the PCI address of the bridge you've enabled (eg
0000:00:0e.0).
6.2. Disabling MSI below a bridge
To disable MSIs, echo 0 instead of 1. Changing this value should be
done with caution as it can break interrupt handling for all devices
below this bridge.
The vast majority of MSI quirks are required by PCI bridges not
being able to route MSI between busses. In this case, MSI have to be
disabled on all devices behind this bridge. It is achieves by setting
the PCI_BUS_FLAGS_NO_MSI flag in the pci_bus->bus_flags of the bridge
subordinate bus. There is no need to set the same flag on bridges that
are below the broken bridge. When pci_enable_msi() is called to enable
MSI on a device, pci_msi_supported() takes care of checking the NO_MSI
flag in all parent busses of the device.
Again, please notify linux-pci@vger.kernel.org of any bridges that need
special handling.
Some bridges actually support dynamic MSI support enabling/disabling
by changing some bits in their PCI configuration space (especially
the Hypertransport chipsets such as the nVidia nForce and Serverworks
HT2000). It may then be required to update the NO_MSI flag on the
corresponding devices in the sysfs hierarchy. To enable MSI support
on device "0000:00:0e", do:
5.3. Disabling MSIs on a single device
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:0e/msi_bus
Some devices are known to have faulty MSI implementations. Usually this
is handled in the individual device driver but occasionally it's necessary
to handle this with a quirk. Some drivers have an option to disable use
of MSI. While this is a convenient workaround for the driver author,
it is not good practise, and should not be emulated.
To disable MSI support, echo 0 instead of 1. Note that it should be
used with caution since changing this value might break interrupts.
5.4. Finding why MSIs are disabled on a device
6.3. Disabling MSI globally
From the above three sections, you can see that there are many reasons
why MSIs may not be enabled for a given device. Your first step should
be to examine your dmesg carefully to determine whether MSIs are enabled
for your machine. You should also check your .config to be sure you
have enabled CONFIG_PCI_MSI.
Some extreme cases may require to disable MSI globally on the system.
For now, the only known case is a Serverworks PCI-X chipsets (MSI are
not supported on several busses that are not all connected to the
chipset in the Linux PCI hierarchy). In the vast majority of other
cases, disabling only behind a specific bridge is enough.
Then, 'lspci -t' gives the list of bridges above a device. Reading
/sys/bus/pci/devices/*/msi_bus will tell you whether MSI are enabled (1)
or disabled (0). If 0 is found in any of the msi_bus files belonging
to bridges between the PCI root and the device, MSIs are disabled.
For debugging purpose, the user may also pass pci=nomsi on the kernel
command-line to explicitly disable MSI globally. But, once the appro-
priate quirks are added to the kernel, this option should not be
required anymore.
6.4. Finding why MSI cannot be enabled on a device
Assuming that MSI are not enabled on a device, you should look at
dmesg to find messages that quirks may output when disabling MSI
on some devices, some bridges or even globally.
Then, lspci -t gives the list of bridges above a device. Reading
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:0e/msi_bus will tell you whether MSI
are enabled (1) or disabled (0). In 0 is found in a single bridge
msi_bus file above the device, MSI cannot be enabled.
7. FAQ
Q1. Are there any limitations on using the MSI?
A1. If the PCI device supports MSI and conforms to the
specification and the platform supports the APIC local bus,
then using MSI should work.
Q2. Will it work on all the Pentium processors (P3, P4, Xeon,
AMD processors)? In P3 IPI's are transmitted on the APIC local
bus and in P4 and Xeon they are transmitted on the system
bus. Are there any implications with this?
A2. MSI support enables a PCI device sending an inbound
memory write (0xfeexxxxx as target address) on its PCI bus
directly to the FSB. Since the message address has a
redirection hint bit cleared, it should work.
Q3. The target address 0xfeexxxxx will be translated by the
Host Bridge into an interrupt message. Are there any
limitations on the chipsets such as Intel 8xx, Intel e7xxx,
or VIA?
A3. If these chipsets support an inbound memory write with
target address set as 0xfeexxxxx, as conformed to PCI
specification 2.3 or latest, then it should work.
Q4. From the driver point of view, if the MSI is lost because
of errors occurring during inbound memory write, then it may
wait forever. Is there a mechanism for it to recover?
A4. Since the target of the transaction is an inbound memory
write, all transaction termination conditions (Retry,
Master-Abort, Target-Abort, or normal completion) are
supported. A device sending an MSI must abide by all the PCI
rules and conditions regarding that inbound memory write. So,
if a retry is signaled it must retry, etc... We believe that
the recommendation for Abort is also a retry (refer to PCI
specification 2.3 or latest).
It is also worth checking the device driver to see whether it supports MSIs.
For example, it may contain calls to pci_enable_msi(), pci_enable_msix() or
pci_enable_msi_block().

PCI Express I/O Virtualization Howto
Copyright (C) 2009 Intel Corporation
Yu Zhao <yu.zhao@intel.com>
1. Overview
1.1 What is SR-IOV
Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) is a PCI Express Extended
capability which makes one physical device appear as multiple virtual
devices. The physical device is referred to as Physical Function (PF)
while the virtual devices are referred to as Virtual Functions (VF).
Allocation of the VF can be dynamically controlled by the PF via
registers encapsulated in the capability. By default, this feature is
not enabled and the PF behaves as traditional PCIe device. Once it's
turned on, each VF's PCI configuration space can be accessed by its own
Bus, Device and Function Number (Routing ID). And each VF also has PCI
Memory Space, which is used to map its register set. VF device driver
operates on the register set so it can be functional and appear as a
real existing PCI device.
2. User Guide
2.1 How can I enable SR-IOV capability
The device driver (PF driver) will control the enabling and disabling
of the capability via API provided by SR-IOV core. If the hardware
has SR-IOV capability, loading its PF driver would enable it and all
VFs associated with the PF.
2.2 How can I use the Virtual Functions
The VF is treated as hot-plugged PCI devices in the kernel, so they
should be able to work in the same way as real PCI devices. The VF
requires device driver that is same as a normal PCI device's.
3. Developer Guide
3.1 SR-IOV API
To enable SR-IOV capability:
int pci_enable_sriov(struct pci_dev *dev, int nr_virtfn);
'nr_virtfn' is number of VFs to be enabled.
To disable SR-IOV capability:
void pci_disable_sriov(struct pci_dev *dev);
To notify SR-IOV core of Virtual Function Migration:
irqreturn_t pci_sriov_migration(struct pci_dev *dev);
3.2 Usage example
Following piece of code illustrates the usage of the SR-IOV API.
static int __devinit dev_probe(struct pci_dev *dev, const struct pci_device_id *id)
{
pci_enable_sriov(dev, NR_VIRTFN);
...
return 0;
}
static void __devexit dev_remove(struct pci_dev *dev)
{

...
}
static int dev_suspend(struct pci_dev *dev, pm_message_t state)
{
...
return 0;
}
static int dev_resume(struct pci_dev *dev)
{
...
return 0;
}
static void dev_shutdown(struct pci_dev *dev)
{

}
static struct pci_driver dev_driver = {

Introduction
============
This document describes how to use the dynamic debug (ddebug) feature.
Dynamic debug is designed to allow you to dynamically enable/disable kernel
code to obtain additional kernel information. Currently, if
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is set, then all pr_debug()/dev_debug() calls can be
dynamically enabled per-callsite.
Dynamic debug has even more useful features:
* Simple query language allows turning on and off debugging statements by
matching any combination of:
- source filename
- function name
- line number (including ranges of line numbers)
- module name
- format string
* Provides a debugfs control file: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control which can be
read to display the complete list of known debug statements, to help guide you
Controlling dynamic debug Behaviour
===============================
The behaviour of pr_debug()/dev_debug()s are controlled via writing to a
control file in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, you must first mount the debugfs
filesystem, in order to make use of this feature. Subsequently, we refer to the
control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. For example, if you want to
enable printing from source file 'svcsock.c', line 1603 you simply do:
nullarbor:~ # echo 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
If you make a mistake with the syntax, the write will fail thus:
nullarbor:~ # echo 'file svcsock.c wtf 1 +p' >
<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
Viewing Dynamic Debug Behaviour
===========================
You can view the currently configured behaviour of all the debug statements
via:
nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
# filename:lineno [module]function flags format
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/sgi-enhancednfs-1.4/default/net/sunrpc/svc_rdma.c:323 [svcxprt_rdma]svc_rdma_cleanup - "SVCRDMA Module Removed, deregister RPC RDMA transport\012"
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/sgi-enhancednfs-1.4/default/net/sunrpc/svc_rdma.c:341 [svcxprt_rdma]svc_rdma_init - "\011max_inline : %d\012"
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/sgi-enhancednfs-1.4/default/net/sunrpc/svc_rdma.c:340 [svcxprt_rdma]svc_rdma_init - "\011sq_depth : %d\012"
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/sgi-enhancednfs-1.4/default/net/sunrpc/svc_rdma.c:338 [svcxprt_rdma]svc_rdma_init - "\011max_requests : %d\012"
...
You can also apply standard Unix text manipulation filters to this
data, e.g.
nullarbor:~ # grep -i rdma <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control | wc -l
62
nullarbor:~ # grep -i tcp <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control | wc -l
42
Note in particular that the third column shows the enabled behaviour
flags for each debug statement callsite (see below for definitions of the
flags). The default value, no extra behaviour enabled, is "-". So
you can view all the debug statement callsites with any non-default flags:
nullarbor:~ # awk '$3 != "-"' <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
# filename:lineno [module]function flags format
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/sgi-enhancednfs-1.4/default/net/sunrpc/svcsock.c:1603 [sunrpc]svc_send p "svc_process: st_sendto returned %d\012"
Command Language Reference
==========================
At the lexical level, a command comprises a sequence of words separated
by whitespace characters. Note that newlines are treated as word
separators and do *not* end a command or allow multiple commands to
be done together. So these are all equivalent:
nullarbor:~ # echo -c 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
nullarbor:~ # echo -c ' file svcsock.c line 1603 +p ' >
<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
nullarbor:~ # echo -c 'file svcsock.c\nline 1603 +p' >
<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
Commands are bounded by a write() system call. If you want to do
multiple commands you need to do a separate "echo" for each, like:
nullarbor:~ # echo 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' > /proc/dprintk ;\
> echo 'file svcsock.c line 1563 +p' > /proc/dprintk
or even like:
nullarbor:~ # (
> echo 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' ;\
> echo 'file svcsock.c line 1563 +p' ;\
> ) > /proc/dprintk
At the syntactical level, a command comprises a sequence of match
specifications, followed by a flags change specification.
command ::= match-spec* flags-spec
The match-spec's are used to choose a subset of the known dprintk()
callsites to which to apply the flags-spec. Think of them as a query
with implicit ANDs between each pair. Note that an empty list of
match-specs is possible, but is not very useful because it will not
match any debug statement callsites.
A match specification comprises a keyword, which controls the attribute
of the callsite to be compared, and a value to compare against. Possible
keywords are:
match-spec ::= 'func' string |
'file' string |
'module' string |
'format' string |
'line' line-range
line-range ::= lineno |
'-'lineno |
lineno'-' |
lineno'-'lineno
// Note: line-range cannot contain space, e.g.
// "1-30" is valid range but "1 - 30" is not.
lineno ::= unsigned-int
The meanings of each keyword are:
func
The given string is compared against the function name
of each callsite. Example:
func svc_tcp_accept
file
The given string is compared against either the full
pathname or the basename of the source file of each
callsite. Examples:
file svcsock.c
file /usr/src/packages/BUILD/sgi-enhancednfs-1.4/default/net/sunrpc/svcsock.c
module
The given string is compared against the module name
of each callsite. The module name is the string as
seen in "lsmod", i.e. without the directory or the .ko
suffix and with '-' changed to '_'. Examples:
module sunrpc
module nfsd
format
The given string is searched for in the dynamic debug format
string. Note that the string does not need to match the
entire format, only some part. Whitespace and other
special characters can be escaped using C octal character
escape \ooo notation, e.g. the space character is \040.
Alternatively, the string can be enclosed in double quote
characters (") or single quote characters (').
Examples:
format svcrdma: // many of the NFS/RDMA server dprintks
format readahead // some dprintks in the readahead cache
format nfsd:\040SETATTR // one way to match a format with whitespace
format "nfsd: SETATTR" // a neater way to match a format with whitespace
format 'nfsd: SETATTR' // yet another way to match a format with whitespace
line
The given line number or range of line numbers is compared
against the line number of each dprintk() callsite. A single
line number matches the callsite line number exactly. A
range of line numbers matches any callsite between the first
and last line number inclusive. An empty first number means
the first line in the file, an empty line number means the
last number in the file. Examples:
line 1603 // exactly line 1603
line 1600-1605 // the six lines from line 1600 to line 1605
line -1605 // the 1605 lines from line 1 to line 1605
line 1600- // all lines from line 1600 to the end of the file
The flags specification comprises a change operation followed
by one or more flag characters. The change operation is one
of the characters:
-
remove the given flags
+
add the given flags
=
set the flags to the given flags
The flags are:
p
Causes a printk() message to be emitted to dmesg
Note the regexp ^[-+=][scp]+$ matches a flags specification.
Note also that there is no convenient syntax to remove all
the flags at once, you need to use "-psc".
Examples
========
// enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
// enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >
<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
// enable all the messages in the NFS server module
nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
// enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process +p' >
<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
// disable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process -p' >
<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
// enable messages for NFS calls READ, READLINK, READDIR and READDIR+.
nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'format "nfsd: READ" +p' >
<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

Apollo PLE 133 Chipset VT8601A North Bridge Datasheet, Rev. 1.82, October 22,
2001, available from VIA:
http://www.viavpsd.com/product/6/15/DS8601A182.pdf
The datasheet is incomplete, some registers that need to be programmed are not
explained at all and important bits are listed as "reserved". But you really
need the datasheet to understand the code. "p. xxx" comments refer to page
numbers of this document.
XFree/XOrg drivers are available and of good quality, looking at the code
there is a good idea if the datasheet does not provide enough information
or if the datasheet seems to be wrong.

Speed
=====
CyBlaFB is much faster than tridentfb and vesafb. Compare the performance data
for mode 1280x1024-[8,16,32]@61 Hz.
Test 1: Cat a file with 2000 lines of 0 characters.
Test 2: Cat a file with 2000 lines of 80 characters.
Test 3: Cat a file with 2000 lines of 160 characters.
All values show system time use in seconds, kernel 2.6.12 was used for
the measurements. 2.6.13 is a bit slower, 2.6.14 hopefully will include a
patch that speeds up kernel bitblitting a lot ( > 20%).

TODO / Missing features
=======================
Verify LCD stuff "stretch" and "center" options are
completely untested ... this code needs to be
verified. As I don't have access to such
hardware, please contact me if you are
willing run some tests.
Interlaced video modes The reason that interleaved
modes are disabled is that I do not know
the meaning of the vertical interlace
parameter. Also the datasheet mentions a
bit d8 of a horizontal interlace parameter,
but nowhere the lower 8 bits. Please help
if you can.
low-res double scan modes Who needs it?
accelerated color blitting Who needs it? The console driver does use color
blitting for nothing but drawing the penguine,
everything else is done using color expanding
blitting of 1bpp character bitmaps.
ioctls Who needs it?
TV-out Will be done later. Use "vga= " at boot time
to set a suitable video mode.
??? Feel free to contact me if you have any
feature requests

CyBlaFB is a framebuffer driver for the Cyberblade/i1 graphics core integrated
into the VIA Apollo PLE133 (aka vt8601) south bridge. It is developed and
tested using a VIA EPIA 5000 board.
Cyblafb - compiled into the kernel or as a module?
==================================================
You might compile cyblafb either as a module or compile it permanently into the
kernel.
Unless you have a real reason to do so you should not compile both vesafb and
cyblafb permanently into the kernel. It's possible and it helps during the
developement cycle, but it's useless and will at least block some otherwise
usefull memory for ordinary users.
Selecting Modes
===============
Startup Mode
============
First of all, you might use the "vga=???" boot parameter as it is
documented in vesafb.txt and svga.txt. Cyblafb will detect the video
mode selected and will use the geometry and timings found by
inspecting the hardware registers.
video=cyblafb vga=0x317
Alternatively you might use a combination of the mode, ref and bpp
parameters. If you compiled the driver into the kernel, add something
like this to the kernel command line:
video=cyblafb:1280x1024,bpp=16,ref=50 ...
If you compiled the driver as a module, the same mode would be
selected by the following command:
modprobe cyblafb mode=1280x1024 bpp=16 ref=50 ...
None of the modes possible to select as startup modes are affected by
the problems described at the end of the next subsection.
For all startup modes cyblafb chooses a virtual x resolution of 2048,
the only exception is mode 1280x1024 in combination with 32 bpp. This
allows ywrap scrolling for all those modes if rotation is 0 or 2, and
also fast scrolling if rotation is 1 or 3. The default virtual y reso-
lution is 4096 for bpp == 8, 2048 for bpp==16 and 1024 for bpp == 32,
again with the only exception of 1280x1024 at 32 bpp.
Please do set your video memory size to 8 Mb in the Bios setup. Other
values will work, but performace is decreased for a lot of modes.
Mode changes using fbset
========================
You might use fbset to change the video mode, see "man fbset". Cyblafb
generally does assume that you know what you are doing. But it does
some checks, especially those that are needed to prevent you from
damaging your hardware.
- only 8, 16, 24 and 32 bpp video modes are accepted
- interlaced video modes are not accepted
- double scan video modes are not accepted
- if a flat panel is found, cyblafb does not allow you
to program a resolution higher than the physical
resolution of the flat panel monitor
- cyblafb does not allow vclk to exceed 230 MHz. As 32 bpp
and (currently) 24 bit modes use a doubled vclk internally,
the dotclock limit as seen by fbset is 115 MHz for those
modes and 230 MHz for 8 and 16 bpp modes.
- cyblafb will allow you to select very high resolutions as
long as the hardware can be programmed to these modes. The
documented limit 1600x1200 is not enforced, but don't expect
perfect signal quality.
Any request that violates the rules given above will be either changed
to something the hardware supports or an error value will be returned.
If you program a virtual y resolution higher than the hardware limit,
cyblafb will silently decrease that value to the highest possible
value. The same is true for a virtual x resolution that is not
supported by the hardware. Cyblafb tries to adapt vyres first because
vxres decides if ywrap scrolling is possible or not.
Attempts to disable acceleration are ignored, I believe that this is
safe.
Some video modes that should work do not work as expected. If you use
the standard fb.modes, fbset 640x480-60 will program that mode, but
you will see a vertical area, about two characters wide, with only
much darker characters than the other characters on the screen.
Cyblafb does allow that mode to be set, as it does not violate the
official specifications. It would need a lot of code to reliably sort
out all invalid modes, playing around with the margin values will
give a valid mode quickly. And if cyblafb would detect such an invalid
mode, should it silently alter the requested values or should it
report an error? Both options have some pros and cons. As stated
above, none of the startup modes are affected, and if you set
verbosity to 1 or higher, cyblafb will print the fbset command that
would be needed to program that mode using fbset.
Other Parameters
================
crt don't autodetect, assume monitor connected to
standard VGA connector
fp don't autodetect, assume flat panel display
connected to flat panel monitor interface
nativex inform driver about native x resolution of
flat panel monitor connected to special
interface (should be autodetected)
stretch stretch image to adapt low resolution modes to
higer resolutions of flat panel monitors
connected to special interface
center center image to adapt low resolution modes to
higer resolutions of flat panel monitors
connected to special interface
memsize use if autodetected memsize is wrong ...
should never be necessary
nopcirr disable PCI read retry
nopciwr disable PCI write retry
nopcirb disable PCI read bursts
nopciwb disable PCI write bursts
bpp bpp for specified modes
valid values: 8 || 16 || 24 || 32
ref refresh rate for specified mode
valid values: 50 <= ref <= 85
mode 640x480 or 800x600 or 1024x768 or 1280x1024
if not specified, the startup mode will be detected
and used, so you might also use the vga=??? parameter
described in vesafb.txt. If you do not specify a mode,
bpp and ref parameters are ignored.
verbosity 0 is the default, increase to at least 2 for every
bug report!
Development hints
=================
It's much faster do compile a module and to load the new version after
unloading the old module than to compile a new kernel and to reboot. So if you
try to work on cyblafb, it might be a good idea to use cyblafb as a module.
In real life, fast often means dangerous, and that's also the case here. If
you introduce a serious bug when cyblafb is compiled into the kernel, the
kernel will lock or oops with a high probability before the file system is
mounted, and the danger for your data is low. If you load a broken own version
of cyblafb on a running system, the danger for the integrity of the file
system is much higher as you might need a hard reset afterwards. Decide
yourself.
Module unloading, the vfb method
================================
If you want to unload/reload cyblafb using the virtual framebuffer, you need
to enable vfb support in the kernel first. After that, load the modules as
shown below:
modprobe vfb vfb_enable=1
modprobe fbcon
modprobe cyblafb
fbset -fb /dev/fb1 1280x1024-60 -vyres 2662
con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty1
...
If you now made some changes to cyblafb and want to reload it, you might do it
as show below:
con2fb /dev/fb0 /dev/tty1
...
rmmod cyblafb
modprobe cyblafb
con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty1
...
Of course, you might choose another mode, and most certainly you also want to
map some other /dev/tty* to the real framebuffer device. You might also choose
to compile fbcon as a kernel module or place it permanently in the kernel.
I do not know of any way to unload fbcon, and fbcon will prevent the
framebuffer device loaded first from unloading. [If there is a way, then

Module unloading, the vesafb method
===================================
Configure the kernel:
<*> Support for frame buffer devices
[*] VESA VGA graphics support
<M> Cyberblade/i1 support
Add e.g. "video=vesafb:ypan vga=0x307" to the kernel parameters. The ypan
parameter is important, choose any vga parameter you like as long as it is
a graphics mode.
After booting, load cyblafb without any mode and bpp parameter and assign
cyblafb to individual ttys using con2fb, e.g.:
modprobe cyblafb
con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty1
Unloading cyblafb works without problems after you assign vesafb to all
ttys again, e.g.:
con2fb /dev/fb0 /dev/tty1
rmmod cyblafb

- the vesafb parameter has been removed as I decided to allow the
feature without any special parameter.
- Cyblafb does not use the vga style of panning any longer, now the
"right view" register in the graphics engine IO space is used. Without
that change it was impossible to use all available memory, and without
access to all available memory it is impossible to ywrap.
- The imageblit function now uses hardware acceleration for all font
widths. Hardware blitting across pixel column 2048 is broken in the
cyberblade/i1 graphics core, but we work around that hardware bug.
- modes with vxres != xres are supported now.
- ywrap scrolling is supported now and the default. This is a big
performance gain.
- default video modes use vyres > yres and vxres > xres to allow
almost optimal scrolling speed for normal and rotated screens
- some features mainly usefull for debugging the upper layers of the
framebuffer system have been added, have a look at the code
- fixed: Oops after unloading cyblafb when reading /proc/io*
- we work around some bugs of the higher framebuffer layers.

I tried the following framebuffer drivers:
- TRIDENTFB is full of bugs. Acceleration is broken for Blade3D
graphics cores like the cyberblade/i1. It claims to support a great
number of devices, but documentation for most of these devices is
unfortunately not available. There is _no_ reason to use tridentfb
for cyberblade/i1 + CRT users. VESAFB is faster, and the one
advantage, mode switching, is broken in tridentfb.
- VESAFB is used by many distributions as a standard. Vesafb does
not support mode switching. VESAFB is a bit faster than the working
configurations of TRIDENTFB, but it is still too slow, even if you
use ypan.
- EPIAFB (you'll find it on sourceforge) supports the Cyberblade/i1
graphics core, but it still has serious bugs and developement seems
to have stopped. This is the one driver with TV-out support. If you
do need this feature, try epiafb.
None of these drivers was a real option for me.
I believe that is unreasonable to change code that announces to support 20
devices if I only have more or less sufficient documentation for exactly one
of these. The risk of breaking device foo while fixing device bar is too high.
So I decided to start CyBlaFB as a stripped down tridentfb.
All code specific to other Trident chips has been removed. After that there
were a lot of cosmetic changes to increase the readability of the code. All
register names were changed to those mnemonics used in the datasheet. Function
and macro names were changed if they hindered easy understanding of the code.
After that I debugged the code and implemented some new features. I'll try to
give a little summary of the main changes:
- calculation of vertical and horizontal timings was fixed
- video signal quality has been improved dramatically
- acceleration:
- fillrect and copyarea were fixed and reenabled
- color expanding imageblit was newly implemented, color
imageblit (only used to draw the penguine) still uses the
generic code.
- init of the acceleration engine was improved and moved to a
place where it really works ...
- sync function has a timeout now and tries to reset and
reinit the accel engine if necessary
- fewer slow copyarea calls when doing ypan scrolling by using
undocumented bit d21 of screen start address stored in
CR2B[5]. BIOS does use it also, so this should be safe.
- cyblafb rejects any attempt to set modes that would cause vclk
values above reasonable 230 MHz. 32bit modes use a clock
multiplicator of 2, so fbset does show the correct values for
pixclock but not for vclk in this case. The fbset limit is 115 MHz
for 32 bpp modes.
- cyblafb rejects modes known to be broken or unimplemented (all
interlaced modes, all doublescan modes for now)
- cyblafb now works independant of the video mode in effect at startup
time (tridentfb does not init all needed registers to reasonable
values)
- switching between video modes does work reliably now
- the first video mode now is the one selected on startup using the
vga=???? mechanism or any of
- 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024
- 8, 16, 24 or 32 bpp
- refresh between 50 Hz and 85 Hz, 1 Hz steps (1280x1024-32
is limited to 63Hz)
- pci retry and pci burst mode are settable (try to disable if you
experience latency problems)
- built as a module cyblafb might be unloaded and reloaded using
the vfb module and con2vt or might be used together with vesafb

What: old static regulatory information and ieee80211_regdom module parameter
When: 2.6.29
What: The ieee80211_regdom module parameter
When: March 2010 / desktop catchup
Why: This was inherited by the CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY code,
and currently serves as an option for users to define an
ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2 code for the country they are currently
present in. Although there are userspace API replacements for this
through nl80211 distributions haven't yet caught up with implementing
decent alternatives through standard GUIs. Although available as an
option through iw or wpa_supplicant its just a matter of time before
distributions pick up good GUI options for this. The ideal solution
would actually consist of intelligent designs which would do this for
the user automatically even when travelling through different countries.
Until then we leave this module parameter as a compromise.
When userspace improves with reasonable widely-available alternatives for
this we will no longer need this module parameter. This entry hopes that
by the super-futuristically looking date of "March 2010" we will have
such replacements widely available.

some applications were relying on it. Changing regulatory domains
can now be done instead by using nl80211, as is done with iw.

What: fakephp and associated sysfs files in /sys/bus/pci/slots/
When: 2011
Why: In 2.6.27, the semantics of /sys/bus/pci/slots was redefined to
represent a machine's physical PCI slots. The change in semantics
had userspace implications, as the hotplug core no longer allowed
drivers to create multiple sysfs files per physical slot (required
for multi-function devices, e.g.). fakephp was seen as a developer's
tool only, and its interface changed. Too late, we learned that
there were some users of the fakephp interface.
In 2.6.30, the original fakephp interface was restored. At the same
time, the PCI core gained the ability that fakephp provided, namely
function-level hot-remove and hot-add.
Since the PCI core now provides the same functionality, exposed in:
/sys/bus/pci/rescan
/sys/bus/pci/devices/.../remove
/sys/bus/pci/devices/.../rescan
there is no functional reason to maintain fakephp as well.
We will keep the existing module so that 'modprobe fakephp' will
present the old /sys/bus/pci/slots/... interface for compatibility,
but users are urged to migrate their applications to the API above.
After a reasonable transition period, we will remove the legacy
fakephp interface.

Temperature conversion of the DS1621 takes up to 1000ms; internal access to

High Accuracy Temperature Reading
---------------------------------
As said before, the temperature issued via the 9-bit i2c-bus data is
somewhat arbitrary. Internally, the temperature conversion is of a
different kind that is explained (not so...) well in the DS1621 data sheet.
To cut the long story short: Inside the DS1621 there are two oscillators,
both of them biassed by a temperature coefficient.
Higher resolution of the temperature reading can be achieved using the
internal projection, which means taking account of REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE
(the driver manages them):
Taken from Dallas Semiconductors App Note 068: 'Increasing Temperature
Resolution on the DS1620' and App Note 105: 'High Resolution Temperature
Measurement with Dallas Direct-to-Digital Temperature Sensors'
- Read the 9-bit temperature and strip the LSB (Truncate the .5 degs)
- The resulting value is TEMP_READ.
- Then, read REG_COUNT.
- And then, REG_SLOPE.
TEMP = TEMP_READ - 0.25 + ((REG_SLOPE - REG_COUNT) / REG_SLOPE)
Note that this is what the DONE bit in the DS1621 configuration register is
good for: Internally, one temperature conversion takes up to 1000ms. Before
that conversion is complete you will not be able to read valid things out
of REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE. The DONE bit, as you may have guessed by now,
tells you whether the conversion is complete ("done", in plain English) and
thus, whether the values you read are good or not.
The DS1621 has two modes of operation: "Continuous" conversion, which can
be understood as the default stand-alone mode where the chip gets the
temperature and controls external devices via its Tout pin or tells other
i2c's about it if they care. The other mode is called "1SHOT", that means
that it only figures out about the temperature when it is explicitly told
to do so; this can be seen as power saving mode.
Now if you want to read REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE, you have to either stop
the continuous conversions until the contents of these registers are valid,
or, in 1SHOT mode, you have to have one conversion made.

Usage Notes
-----------
This driver does not probe for LTC4215 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.

How to instantiate I2C devices
==============================
Unlike PCI or USB devices, I2C devices are not enumerated at the hardware
level. Instead, the software must know which devices are connected on each
I2C bus segment, and what address these devices are using. For this
reason, the kernel code must instantiate I2C devices explicitly. There are
several ways to achieve this, depending on the context and requirements.
Method 1: Declare the I2C devices by bus number
-----------------------------------------------
This method is appropriate when the I2C bus is a system bus as is the case
for many embedded systems. On such systems, each I2C bus has a number
which is known in advance. It is thus possible to pre-declare the I2C
devices which live on this bus. This is done with an array of struct
i2c_board_info which is registered by calling i2c_register_board_info().
Example (from omap2 h4):
static struct i2c_board_info __initdata h4_i2c_board_info[] = {
{
I2C_BOARD_INFO("isp1301_omap", 0x2d),
.irq = OMAP_GPIO_IRQ(125),
},
{ /* EEPROM on mainboard */
I2C_BOARD_INFO("24c01", 0x52),
.platform_data = &m24c01,
},
{ /* EEPROM on cpu card */
I2C_BOARD_INFO("24c01", 0x57),
.platform_data = &m24c01,
},
};
static void __init omap_h4_init(void)
{
(...)
i2c_register_board_info(1, h4_i2c_board_info,
ARRAY_SIZE(h4_i2c_board_info));
(...)
}
The above code declares 3 devices on I2C bus 1, including their respective
addresses and custom data needed by their drivers. When the I2C bus in
question is registered, the I2C devices will be instantiated automatically
by i2c-core.
The devices will be automatically unbound and destroyed when the I2C bus
they sit on goes away (if ever.)
Method 2: Instantiate the devices explicitly
--------------------------------------------
This method is appropriate when a larger device uses an I2C bus for
internal communication. A typical case is TV adapters. These can have a
tuner, a video decoder, an audio decoder, etc. usually connected to the
main chip by the means of an I2C bus. You won't know the number of the I2C
bus in advance, so the method 1 described above can't be used. Instead,
you can instantiate your I2C devices explicitly. This is done by filling
a struct i2c_board_info and calling i2c_new_device().
Example (from the sfe4001 network driver):
static struct i2c_board_info sfe4001_hwmon_info = {
I2C_BOARD_INFO("max6647", 0x4e),
};
int sfe4001_init(struct efx_nic *efx)
{
(...)
efx->board_info.hwmon_client =
i2c_new_device(&efx->i2c_adap, &sfe4001_hwmon_info);
(...)
}
The above code instantiates 1 I2C device on the I2C bus which is on the
network adapter in question.
A variant of this is when you don't know for sure if an I2C device is
present or not (for example for an optional feature which is not present
on cheap variants of a board but you have no way to tell them apart), or
it may have different addresses from one board to the next (manufacturer
changing its design without notice). In this case, you can call
i2c_new_probed_device() instead of i2c_new_device().
Example (from the pnx4008 OHCI driver):
static const unsigned short normal_i2c[] = { 0x2c, 0x2d, I2C_CLIENT_END };
static int __devinit usb_hcd_pnx4008_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
(...)
struct i2c_adapter *i2c_adap;
struct i2c_board_info i2c_info;
(...)
i2c_adap = i2c_get_adapter(2);
memset(&i2c_info, 0, sizeof(struct i2c_board_info));
strlcpy(i2c_info.name, "isp1301_pnx", I2C_NAME_SIZE);
isp1301_i2c_client = i2c_new_probed_device(i2c_adap, &i2c_info,
normal_i2c);
i2c_put_adapter(i2c_adap);
(...)
}
The above code instantiates up to 1 I2C device on the I2C bus which is on
the OHCI adapter in question. It first tries at address 0x2c, if nothing
is found there it tries address 0x2d, and if still nothing is found, it
simply gives up.
The driver which instantiated the I2C device is responsible for destroying
it on cleanup. This is done by calling i2c_unregister_device() on the
pointer that was earlier returned by i2c_new_device() or
i2c_new_probed_device().
Method 3: Probe an I2C bus for certain devices
----------------------------------------------
Sometimes you do not have enough information about an I2C device, not even
to call i2c_new_probed_device(). The typical case is hardware monitoring
chips on PC mainboards. There are several dozen models, which can live
at 25 different addresses. Given the huge number of mainboards out there,
it is next to impossible to build an exhaustive list of the hardware
monitoring chips being used. Fortunately, most of these chips have
manufacturer and device ID registers, so they can be identified by
probing.
In that case, I2C devices are neither declared nor instantiated
explicitly. Instead, i2c-core will probe for such devices as soon as their
drivers are loaded, and if any is found, an I2C device will be
instantiated automatically. In order to prevent any misbehavior of this
mechanism, the following restrictions apply:
* The I2C device driver must implement the detect() method, which
identifies a supported device by reading from arbitrary registers.
* Only buses which are likely to have a supported device and agree to be
probed, will be probed. For example this avoids probing for hardware
monitoring chips on a TV adapter.
Example:
See lm90_driver and lm90_detect() in drivers/hwmon/lm90.c
I2C devices instantiated as a result of such a successful probe will be
destroyed automatically when the driver which detected them is removed,
or when the underlying I2C bus is itself destroyed, whichever happens
first.
Those of you familiar with the i2c subsystem of 2.4 kernels and early 2.6
kernels will find out that this method 3 is essentially similar to what
was done there. Two significant differences are:
* Probing is only one way to instantiate I2C devices now, while it was the
only way back then. Where possible, methods 1 and 2 should be preferred.
Method 3 should only be used when there is no other way, as it can have
undesirable side effects.
* I2C buses must now explicitly say which I2C driver classes can probe
them (by the means of the class bitfield), while all I2C buses were
probed by default back then. The default is an empty class which means
that no probing happens. The purpose of the class bitfield is to limit
the aforementioned undesirable side effects.
Once again, method 3 should be avoided wherever possible. Explicit device
instantiation (methods 1 and 2) is much preferred for it is safer and
faster.

a driver for a hardware monitoring chip for which auto-detection is
needed would set its class to I2C_CLASS_HWMON, and only I2C adapters
with a class including I2C_CLASS_HWMON would be probed by this driver.
Note that the absence of matching classes does not prevent the use of
a device of that type on the given I2C adapter. All it prevents is
auto-detection; explicit instantiation of devices is still possible.
Note that this mechanism is purely optional and not suitable for all
devices. You need some reliable way to identify the supported devices

otherwise misdetections are likely to occur and things can get wrong
quickly.
quickly. Keep in mind that the I2C protocol doesn't include any
standard way to detect the presence of a chip at a given address, let
alone a standard way to identify devices. Even worse is the lack of
semantics associated to bus transfers, which means that the same
transfer can be seen as a read operation by a chip and as a write
operation by another chip. For these reasons, explicit device
instantiation should always be preferred to auto-detection where
possible.

Description
-----------
The ISL29003 is an integrated light sensor with a 16-bit integrating type
ADC, I2C user programmable lux range select for optimized counts/lux, and
I2C multi-function control and monitoring capabilities. The internal ADC
provides 16-bit resolution while rejecting 50Hz and 60Hz flicker caused by
artificial light sources.
The driver allows to set the lux range, the bit resolution, the operational
mode (see below) and the power state of device and can read the current lux
value, of course.
Detection
---------
The ISL29003 does not have an ID register which could be used to identify
it, so the detection routine will just try to read from the configured I2C
addess and consider the device to be present as soon as it ACKs the
transfer.

In This Release
===============
This file describes the ixgbe Linux Base Driver for the 10 Gigabit PCI
Express Intel(R) Network Connection. This driver includes support for
Itanium(R)2-based systems.
For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation
supplied with your 10 Gigabit adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply
to use with Linux.
The following features are available in this kernel:
- Native VLANs
- Channel Bonding (teaming)
- SNMP
- Generic Receive Offload
- Data Center Bridging
Channel Bonding documentation can be found in the Linux kernel source:
/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt
Ethtool, lspci, and ifconfig can be used to display device and driver
specific information.
Identifying Your Adapter
========================
This driver supports devices based on the 82598 controller and the 82599
controller.
For specific information on identifying which adapter you have, please visit:
http://support.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-008441.htm
Building and Installation
=========================
select m for "Intel(R) 10GbE PCI Express adapters support" located at:
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y])
-> Ethernet (10000 Mbit) (NETDEV_10000 [=y])
1. make modules & make modules_install
2. Load the module:
# modprobe ixgbe
The insmod command can be used if the full
path to the driver module is specified. For example:
insmod /lib/modules/<KERNEL VERSION>/kernel/drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe.ko
With 2.6 based kernels also make sure that older ixgbe drivers are
removed from the kernel, before loading the new module:
rmmod ixgbe; modprobe ixgbe
3. Assign an IP address to the interface by entering the following, where
x is the interface number:
ifconfig ethx <IP_address>
4. Verify that the interface works. Enter the following, where <IP_address>
is the IP address for another machine on the same subnet as the interface
that is being tested:
ping <IP_address>
Additional Configurations
=========================
Viewing Link Messages
---------------------
Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is
restricting system messages. In order to see network driver link messages on
your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following:
dmesg -n 8
NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots.
Jumbo Frames
------------
The driver supports Jumbo Frames for all adapters. Jumbo Frames support is
enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than the default of 1500.
The maximum value for the MTU is 16110. Use the ifconfig command to
increase the MTU size. For example:
ifconfig ethx mtu 9000 up
The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 16110. This value coincides
with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 16128.
Generic Receive Offload, aka GRO
--------------------------------
The driver supports the in-kernel software implementation of GRO. GRO has
shown that by coalescing Rx traffic into larger chunks of data, CPU
utilization can be significantly reduced when under large Rx load. GRO is an
evolution of the previously-used LRO interface. GRO is able to coalesce
other protocols besides TCP. It's also safe to use with configurations that
are problematic for LRO, namely bridging and iSCSI.
GRO is enabled by default in the driver. Future versions of ethtool will
support disabling and re-enabling GRO on the fly.
Data Center Bridging, aka DCB
-----------------------------
DCB is a configuration Quality of Service implementation in hardware.
It uses the VLAN priority tag (802.1p) to filter traffic. That means
that there are 8 different priorities that traffic can be filtered into.
It also enables priority flow control which can limit or eliminate the
number of dropped packets during network stress. Bandwidth can be
allocated to each of these priorities, which is enforced at the hardware
level.
To enable DCB support in ixgbe, you must enable the DCB netlink layer to
allow the userspace tools (see below) to communicate with the driver.
This can be found in the kernel configuration here:
-> Networking support
-> Networking options
-> Data Center Bridging support
Once this is selected, DCB support must be selected for ixgbe. This can
be found here:
-> Device Drivers
-> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y])
-> Ethernet (10000 Mbit) (NETDEV_10000 [=y])
-> Intel(R) 10GbE PCI Express adapters support
-> Data Center Bridging (DCB) Support
After these options are selected, you must rebuild your kernel and your
modules.
In order to use DCB, userspace tools must be downloaded and installed.
The dcbd tools can be found at:
http://e1000.sf.net
Ethtool
-------
The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. Ethtool
version 3.0 or later is required for this functionality.
The latest release of ethtool can be found from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel.
NAPI
----
NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the ixgbe driver. NAPI is enabled
by default in the driver.
See www.cyberus.ca/~hadi/usenix-paper.tgz for more information on NAPI.

Overview
========
This readme tries to provide some background on the hows and whys of RDS,
and will hopefully help you find your way around the code.
In addition, please see this email about RDS origins:
http://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/rds-devel/2007-November/000228.html
RDS Architecture
================
RDS provides reliable, ordered datagram delivery by using a single
reliable connection between any two nodes in the cluster. This allows
applications to use a single socket to talk to any other process in the
cluster - so in a cluster with N processes you need N sockets, in contrast
to N*N if you use a connection-oriented socket transport like TCP.
RDS is not Infiniband-specific; it was designed to support different
transports. The current implementation used to support RDS over TCP as well
as IB. Work is in progress to support RDS over iWARP, and using DCE to
guarantee no dropped packets on Ethernet, it may be possible to use RDS over
UDP in the future.
The high-level semantics of RDS from the application's point of view are
* Addressing
RDS uses IPv4 addresses and 16bit port numbers to identify
the end point of a connection. All socket operations that involve
passing addresses between kernel and user space generally
use a struct sockaddr_in.
The fact that IPv4 addresses are used does not mean the underlying
transport has to be IP-based. In fact, RDS over IB uses a
reliable IB connection; the IP address is used exclusively to
locate the remote node's GID (by ARPing for the given IP).
The port space is entirely independent of UDP, TCP or any other
protocol.
* Socket interface
RDS sockets work *mostly* as you would expect from a BSD
socket. The next section will cover the details. At any rate,
all I/O is performed through the standard BSD socket API.
Some additions like zerocopy support are implemented through
control messages, while other extensions use the getsockopt/
setsockopt calls.
Sockets must be bound before you can send or receive data.
This is needed because binding also selects a transport and
attaches it to the socket. Once bound, the transport assignment
does not change. RDS will tolerate IPs moving around (eg in
a active-active HA scenario), but only as long as the address
doesn't move to a different transport.
* sysctls
RDS supports a number of sysctls in /proc/sys/net/rds
Socket Interface
================
AF_RDS, PF_RDS, SOL_RDS
These constants haven't been assigned yet, because RDS isn't in
mainline yet. Currently, the kernel module assigns some constant
and publishes it to user space through two sysctl files
/proc/sys/net/rds/pf_rds
/proc/sys/net/rds/sol_rds
fd = socket(PF_RDS, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0);
This creates a new, unbound RDS socket.
setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET): send and receive buffer size
RDS honors the send and receive buffer size socket options.
You are not allowed to queue more than SO_SNDSIZE bytes to
a socket. A message is queued when sendmsg is called, and
it leaves the queue when the remote system acknowledges
its arrival.
The SO_RCVSIZE option controls the maximum receive queue length.
This is a soft limit rather than a hard limit - RDS will
continue to accept and queue incoming messages, even if that
takes the queue length over the limit. However, it will also
mark the port as "congested" and send a congestion update to
the source node. The source node is supposed to throttle any
processes sending to this congested port.
bind(fd, &sockaddr_in, ...)
This binds the socket to a local IP address and port, and a
transport.
sendmsg(fd, ...)
Sends a message to the indicated recipient. The kernel will
transparently establish the underlying reliable connection
if it isn't up yet.
An attempt to send a message that exceeds SO_SNDSIZE will
return with -EMSGSIZE
An attempt to send a message that would take the total number
of queued bytes over the SO_SNDSIZE threshold will return
EAGAIN.
An attempt to send a message to a destination that is marked
as "congested" will return ENOBUFS.
recvmsg(fd, ...)
Receives a message that was queued to this socket. The sockets
recv queue accounting is adjusted, and if the queue length
drops below SO_SNDSIZE, the port is marked uncongested, and
a congestion update is sent to all peers.
Applications can ask the RDS kernel module to receive
notifications via control messages (for instance, there is a
notification when a congestion update arrived, or when a RDMA
operation completes). These notifications are received through
the msg.msg_control buffer of struct msghdr. The format of the
messages is described in manpages.
poll(fd)
RDS supports the poll interface to allow the application
to implement async I/O.
POLLIN handling is pretty straightforward. When there's an
incoming message queued to the socket, or a pending notification,
we signal POLLIN.
POLLOUT is a little harder. Since you can essentially send
to any destination, RDS will always signal POLLOUT as long as
there's room on the send queue (ie the number of bytes queued
is less than the sendbuf size).
However, the kernel will refuse to accept messages to
a destination marked congested - in this case you will loop
forever if you rely on poll to tell you what to do.
This isn't a trivial problem, but applications can deal with
this - by using congestion notifications, and by checking for
ENOBUFS errors returned by sendmsg.
setsockopt(SOL_RDS, RDS_CANCEL_SENT_TO, &sockaddr_in)
This allows the application to discard all messages queued to a
specific destination on this particular socket.
This allows the application to cancel outstanding messages if
it detects a timeout. For instance, if it tried to send a message,
and the remote host is unreachable, RDS will keep trying forever.
The application may decide it's not worth it, and cancel the
operation. In this case, it would use RDS_CANCEL_SENT_TO to
nuke any pending messages.
RDMA for RDS
============
see rds-rdma(7) manpage (available in rds-tools)
Congestion Notifications
========================
see rds(7) manpage
RDS Protocol
============
Message header
The message header is a 'struct rds_header' (see rds.h):
Fields:
h_sequence:
per-packet sequence number
h_ack:
piggybacked acknowledgment of last packet received
h_len:
length of data, not including header
h_sport:
source port
h_dport:
destination port
h_flags:
CONG_BITMAP - this is a congestion update bitmap
ACK_REQUIRED - receiver must ack this packet
RETRANSMITTED - packet has previously been sent
h_credit:
indicate to other end of connection that
it has more credits available (i.e. there is
more send room)
h_padding[4]:
unused, for future use
h_csum:
header checksum
h_exthdr:
optional data can be passed here. This is currently used for
passing RDMA-related information.
ACK and retransmit handling
One might think that with reliable IB connections you wouldn't need
to ack messages that have been received. The problem is that IB
hardware generates an ack message before it has DMAed the message
into memory. This creates a potential message loss if the HCA is
disabled for any reason between when it sends the ack and before
the message is DMAed and processed. This is only a potential issue
if another HCA is available for fail-over.
Sending an ack immediately would allow the sender to free the sent
message from their send queue quickly, but could cause excessive
traffic to be used for acks. RDS piggybacks acks on sent data
packets. Ack-only packets are reduced by only allowing one to be
in flight at a time, and by the sender only asking for acks when
its send buffers start to fill up. All retransmissions are also
acked.
Flow Control
RDS's IB transport uses a credit-based mechanism to verify that
there is space in the peer's receive buffers for more data. This
eliminates the need for hardware retries on the connection.
Congestion
Messages waiting in the receive queue on the receiving socket
are accounted against the sockets SO_RCVBUF option value. Only
the payload bytes in the message are accounted for. If the
number of bytes queued equals or exceeds rcvbuf then the socket
is congested. All sends attempted to this socket's address
should return block or return -EWOULDBLOCK.
Applications are expected to be reasonably tuned such that this
situation very rarely occurs. An application encountering this
"back-pressure" is considered a bug.
This is implemented by having each node maintain bitmaps which
indicate which ports on bound addresses are congested. As the
bitmap changes it is sent through all the connections which
terminate in the local address of the bitmap which changed.
The bitmaps are allocated as connections are brought up. This
avoids allocation in the interrupt handling path which queues
sages on sockets. The dense bitmaps let transports send the
entire bitmap on any bitmap change reasonably efficiently. This
is much easier to implement than some finer-grained
communication of per-port congestion. The sender does a very
inexpensive bit test to test if the port it's about to send to
is congested or not.
RDS Transport Layer
==================
As mentioned above, RDS is not IB-specific. Its code is divided
into a general RDS layer and a transport layer.
The general layer handles the socket API, congestion handling,
loopback, stats, usermem pinning, and the connection state machine.
The transport layer handles the details of the transport. The IB
transport, for example, handles all the queue pairs, work requests,
CM event handlers, and other Infiniband details.
RDS Kernel Structures
=====================
struct rds_message
aka possibly "rds_outgoing", the generic RDS layer copies data to
be sent and sets header fields as needed, based on the socket API.
This is then queued for the individual connection and sent by the
connection's transport.
struct rds_incoming
a generic struct referring to incoming data that can be handed from
the transport to the general code and queued by the general code
while the socket is awoken. It is then passed back to the transport
code to handle the actual copy-to-user.
struct rds_socket
per-socket information
struct rds_connection
per-connection information
struct rds_transport
pointers to transport-specific functions
struct rds_statistics
non-transport-specific statistics
struct rds_cong_map
wraps the raw congestion bitmap, contains rbnode, waitq, etc.
Connection management
=====================
Connections may be in UP, DOWN, CONNECTING, DISCONNECTING, and
ERROR states.
The first time an attempt is made by an RDS socket to send data to
a node, a connection is allocated and connected. That connection is
then maintained forever -- if there are transport errors, the
connection will be dropped and re-established.
Dropping a connection while packets are queued will cause queued or
partially-sent datagrams to be retransmitted when the connection is
re-established.
The send path
=============
rds_sendmsg()
struct rds_message built from incoming data
CMSGs parsed (e.g. RDMA ops)
transport connection alloced and connected if not already
rds_message placed on send queue
send worker awoken
rds_send_worker()
calls rds_send_xmit() until queue is empty
rds_send_xmit()
transmits congestion map if one is pending
may set ACK_REQUIRED
calls transport to send either non-RDMA or RDMA message
(RDMA ops never retransmitted)
rds_ib_xmit()
allocs work requests from send ring
adds any new send credits available to peer (h_credits)
maps the rds_message's sg list
piggybacks ack
populates work requests
post send to connection's queue pair
The recv path
=============
rds_ib_recv_cq_comp_handler()
looks at write completions
unmaps recv buffer from device
no errors, call rds_ib_process_recv()
refill recv ring
rds_ib_process_recv()
validate header checksum
copy header to rds_ib_incoming struct if start of a new datagram
add to ibinc's fraglist
if competed datagram:
update cong map if datagram was cong update
call rds_recv_incoming() otherwise
note if ack is required
rds_recv_incoming()
drop duplicate packets
respond to pings
find the sock associated with this datagram
add to sock queue
wake up sock
do some congestion calculations
rds_recvmsg
copy data into user iovec
handle CMSGs
return to application

The existing interfaces for getting network packages time stamped are:
* SO_TIMESTAMP
Generate time stamp for each incoming packet using the (not necessarily
monotonous!) system time. Result is returned via recv_msg() in a
control message as timeval (usec resolution).
* SO_TIMESTAMPNS
Same time stamping mechanism as SO_TIMESTAMP, but returns result as
timespec (nsec resolution).
* IP_MULTICAST_LOOP + SO_TIMESTAMP[NS]
Only for multicasts: approximate send time stamp by receiving the looped
packet and using its receive time stamp.
The following interface complements the existing ones: receive time
stamps can be generated and returned for arbitrary packets and much
closer to the point where the packet is really sent. Time stamps can
be generated in software (as before) or in hardware (if the hardware
has such a feature).
SO_TIMESTAMPING:
Instructs the socket layer which kind of information is wanted. The
parameter is an integer with some of the following bits set. Setting
other bits is an error and doesn't change the current state.
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE: try to obtain send time stamp in hardware
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE: if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE is off or
fails, then do it in software
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_HARDWARE: return the original, unmodified time stamp
as generated by the hardware
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE: if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_HARDWARE is off or
fails, then do it in software
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE: return original raw hardware time stamp
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE: return hardware time stamp transformed to
the system time base
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE: return system time stamp generated in
software
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX/RX determine how time stamps are generated.
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW/SYS determine how they are reported in the
following control message:
struct scm_timestamping {
struct timespec systime;
struct timespec hwtimetrans;
struct timespec hwtimeraw;
};
recvmsg() can be used to get this control message for regular incoming
packets. For send time stamps the outgoing packet is looped back to
the socket's error queue with the send time stamp(s) attached. It can
be received with recvmsg(flags=MSG_ERRQUEUE). The call returns the
original outgoing packet data including all headers preprended down to
and including the link layer, the scm_timestamping control message and
a sock_extended_err control message with ee_errno==ENOMSG and
ee_origin==SO_EE_ORIGIN_TIMESTAMPING. A socket with such a pending
bounced packet is ready for reading as far as select() is concerned.
If the outgoing packet has to be fragmented, then only the first
fragment is time stamped and returned to the sending socket.
All three values correspond to the same event in time, but were
generated in different ways. Each of these values may be empty (= all
zero), in which case no such value was available. If the application
is not interested in some of these values, they can be left blank to
avoid the potential overhead of calculating them.
systime is the value of the system time at that moment. This
corresponds to the value also returned via SO_TIMESTAMP[NS]. If the
time stamp was generated by hardware, then this field is
empty. Otherwise it is filled in if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE is
set.
hwtimeraw is the original hardware time stamp. Filled in if
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE is set. No assumptions about its
relation to system time should be made.
hwtimetrans is the hardware time stamp transformed so that it
corresponds as good as possible to system time. This correlation is
not perfect; as a consequence, sorting packets received via different
NICs by their hwtimetrans may differ from the order in which they were
received. hwtimetrans may be non-monotonic even for the same NIC.
Filled in if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE is set. Requires support
by the network device and will be empty without that support.
SIOCSHWTSTAMP:
Hardware time stamping must also be initialized for each device driver
that is expected to do hardware time stamping. The parameter is:
struct hwtstamp_config {
int flags; /* no flags defined right now, must be zero */
int tx_type; /* HWTSTAMP_TX_* */
int rx_filter; /* HWTSTAMP_FILTER_* */
};
Desired behavior is passed into the kernel and to a specific device by
calling ioctl(SIOCSHWTSTAMP) with a pointer to a struct ifreq whose
ifr_data points to a struct hwtstamp_config. The tx_type and
rx_filter are hints to the driver what it is expected to do. If
the requested fine-grained filtering for incoming packets is not
supported, the driver may time stamp more than just the requested types
of packets.
A driver which supports hardware time stamping shall update the struct
with the actual, possibly more permissive configuration. If the
requested packets cannot be time stamped, then nothing should be
changed and ERANGE shall be returned (in contrast to EINVAL, which
indicates that SIOCSHWTSTAMP is not supported at all).
Only a processes with admin rights may change the configuration. User
space is responsible to ensure that multiple processes don't interfere
with each other and that the settings are reset.

DEVICE IMPLEMENTATION
A driver which supports hardware time stamping must support the
SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl. Time stamps for received packets must be stored
in the skb with skb_hwtstamp_set().
Time stamps for outgoing packets are to be generated as follows:
- In hard_start_xmit(), check if skb_hwtstamp_check_tx_hardware()
returns non-zero. If yes, then the driver is expected
to do hardware time stamping.
- If this is possible for the skb and requested, then declare
that the driver is doing the time stamping by calling
skb_hwtstamp_tx_in_progress(). A driver not supporting
hardware time stamping doesn't do that. A driver must never
touch sk_buff::tstamp! It is used to store how time stamping
for an outgoing packets is to be done.
- As soon as the driver has sent the packet and/or obtained a
hardware time stamp for it, it passes the time stamp back by
calling skb_hwtstamp_tx() with the original skb, the raw
hardware time stamp and a handle to the device (necessary
to convert the hardware time stamp to system time). If obtaining
the hardware time stamp somehow fails, then the driver should
not fall back to software time stamping. The rationale is that
this would occur at a later time in the processing pipeline
than other software time stamping and therefore could lead
to unexpected deltas between time stamps.
- If the driver did not call skb_hwtstamp_tx_in_progress(), then
dev_hard_start_xmit() checks whether software time stamping
is wanted as fallback and potentially generates the time stamp.

* beyond that doesn't actually implement PTP.
*
* Outgoing packets are time stamped with SO_TIMESTAMPING with or
* without hardware support.
*
* Incoming packets are time stamped with SO_TIMESTAMPING with or
* without hardware support, SIOCGSTAMP[NS] (per-socket time stamp) and
* SO_TIMESTAMP[NS].

Reference for various scheduler-related methods in the O(1) scheduler
Robert Love <rml@tech9.net>, MontaVista Software
Note most of these methods are local to kernel/sched.c - this is by design.
The scheduler is meant to be self-contained and abstracted away. This document
is primarily for understanding the scheduler, not interfacing to it. Some of
the discussed interfaces, however, are general process/scheduling methods.
They are typically defined in include/linux/sched.h.
Main Scheduling Methods
-----------------------
void load_balance(runqueue_t *this_rq, int idle)
Attempts to pull tasks from one cpu to another to balance cpu usage,
if needed. This method is called explicitly if the runqueues are
imbalanced or periodically by the timer tick. Prior to calling,
the current runqueue must be locked and interrupts disabled.
void schedule()
The main scheduling function. Upon return, the highest priority
process will be active.
Locking
-------
Each runqueue has its own lock, rq->lock. When multiple runqueues need
to be locked, lock acquires must be ordered by ascending &runqueue value.
A specific runqueue is locked via
task_rq_lock(task_t pid, unsigned long *flags)
which disables preemption, disables interrupts, and locks the runqueue pid is
running on. Likewise,
task_rq_unlock(task_t pid, unsigned long *flags)
unlocks the runqueue pid is running on, restores interrupts to their previous
state, and reenables preemption.
The routines
double_rq_lock(runqueue_t *rq1, runqueue_t *rq2)
and
double_rq_unlock(runqueue_t *rq1, runqueue_t *rq2)
safely lock and unlock, respectively, the two specified runqueues. They do
not, however, disable and restore interrupts. Users are required to do so
manually before and after calls.
Values
------
MAX_PRIO
The maximum priority of the system, stored in the task as task->prio.
Lower priorities are higher. Normal (non-RT) priorities range from
MAX_RT_PRIO to (MAX_PRIO - 1).
MAX_RT_PRIO
The maximum real-time priority of the system. Valid RT priorities
range from 0 to (MAX_RT_PRIO - 1).
MAX_USER_RT_PRIO
The maximum real-time priority that is exported to user-space. Should
always be equal to or less than MAX_RT_PRIO. Setting it less allows
kernel threads to have higher priorities than any user-space task.
MIN_TIMESLICE
MAX_TIMESLICE
Respectively, the minimum and maximum timeslices (quanta) of a process.
Data
----
struct runqueue
The main per-CPU runqueue data structure.
struct task_struct
The main per-process data structure.
General Methods
---------------
cpu_rq(cpu)
Returns the runqueue of the specified cpu.
this_rq()
Returns the runqueue of the current cpu.
task_rq(pid)
Returns the runqueue which holds the specified pid.
cpu_curr(cpu)
Returns the task currently running on the given cpu.
rt_task(pid)
Returns true if pid is real-time, false if not.
Process Control Methods
-----------------------
void set_user_nice(task_t *p, long nice)
Sets the "nice" value of task p to the given value.
int setscheduler(pid_t pid, int policy, struct sched_param *param)
Sets the scheduling policy and parameters for the given pid.
int set_cpus_allowed(task_t *p, unsigned long new_mask)
Sets a given task's CPU affinity and migrates it to a proper cpu.
Callers must have a valid reference to the task and assure the
task not exit prematurely. No locks can be held during the call.
set_task_state(tsk, state_value)
Sets the given task's state to the given value.
set_current_state(state_value)
Sets the current task's state to the given value.
void set_tsk_need_resched(struct task_struct *tsk)
Sets need_resched in the given task.
void clear_tsk_need_resched(struct task_struct *tsk)
Clears need_resched in the given task.
void set_need_resched()
Sets need_resched in the current task.
void clear_need_resched()
Clears need_resched in the current task.
int need_resched()
Returns true if need_resched is set in the current task, false
otherwise.
yield()
Place the current process at the end of the runqueue and call schedule.

The OSD Standard
================
OSD (Object-Based Storage Device) is a T10 SCSI command set that is designed
to provide efficient operation of input/output logical units that manage the
allocation, placement, and accessing of variable-size data-storage containers,
called objects. Objects are intended to contain operating system and application
constructs. Each object has associated attributes attached to it, which are
integral part of the object and provide metadata about the object. The standard
defines some common obligatory attributes, but user attributes can be added as
needed.
See: http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/drafts/osd2/ for the latest draft for OSD 2
or search the web for "OSD SCSI"
OSD in the Linux Kernel
=======================
osd-initiator:
The main component of OSD in Kernel is the osd-initiator library. Its main
user is intended to be the pNFS-over-objects layout driver, which uses objects
as its back-end data storage. Other clients are the other osd parts listed below.
osd-uld:
This is a SCSI ULD that registers for OSD type devices and provides a testing
platform, both for the in-kernel initiator as well as connected targets. It
currently has no useful user-mode API, though it could have if need be.
exofs:
Is an OSD based Linux file system. It uses the osd-initiator and osd-uld,
to export a usable file system for users.
See Documentation/filesystems/exofs.txt for more details
osd target:
There are no current plans for an OSD target implementation in kernel. For all
needs, a user-mode target that is based on the scsi tgt target framework is
available from Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) at:
http://www.open-osd.org/bin/view/Main/OscOsdProject
There are several other target implementations. See http://open-osd.org for more
links.

The OSD-Initiator Library
=========================
osd_initiator is a low level implementation of an osd initiator encoder.
But even though, it should be intuitive and easy to use. Perhaps over time an
higher lever will form that automates some of the more common recipes.
init/fini:
- osd_dev_init() associates a scsi_device with an osd_dev structure
and initializes some global pools. This should be done once per scsi_device
(OSD LUN). The osd_dev structure is needed for calling osd_start_request().
- osd_dev_fini() cleans up before a osd_dev/scsi_device destruction.
OSD commands encoding, execution, and decoding of results:
struct osd_request's is used to iteratively encode an OSD command and carry
its state throughout execution. Each request goes through these stages:
a. osd_start_request() allocates the request.
b. Any of the osd_req_* methods is used to encode a request of the specified
type.
c. osd_req_add_{get,set}_attr_* may be called to add get/set attributes to the
CDB. "List" or "Page" mode can be used exclusively. The attribute-list API
can be called multiple times on the same request. However, only one
attribute-page can be read, as mandated by the OSD standard.
d. osd_finalize_request() computes offsets into the data-in and data-out buffers
and signs the request using the provided capability key and integrity-
check parameters.
e. osd_execute_request() may be called to execute the request via the block
layer and wait for its completion. The request can be executed
asynchronously by calling the block layer API directly.
f. After execution, osd_req_decode_sense() can be called to decode the request's
sense information.
g. osd_req_decode_get_attr() may be called to retrieve osd_add_get_attr_list()
values.
h. osd_end_request() must be called to deallocate the request and any resource
associated with it. Note that osd_end_request cleans up the request at any
stage and it must always be called after a successful osd_start_request().
osd_request's structure:
The OSD standard defines a complex structure of IO segments pointed to by
members in the CDB. Up to 3 segments can be deployed in the IN-Buffer and up to
4 in the OUT-Buffer. The ASCII illustration below depicts a secure-read with
associated get+set of attributes-lists. Other combinations very on the same
basic theme. From no-segments-used up to all-segments-used.

\_________________________/
A block device request can carry bidirectional payload by means of associating
a bidi_read request with a main write-request. Each in/out request is described
by a chain of BIOs associated with each request.
The CDB is of a SCSI VARLEN CDB format, as described by OSD standard.
The OSD standard also mandates alignment restrictions at start of each segment.
In the code, in struct osd_request, there are two _osd_io_info structures to
describe the IN/OUT buffers above, two BIOs for the data payload and up to five
_osd_req_data_segment structures to hold the different segments allocation and
information.
Important: We have chosen to disregard the assumption that a BIO-chain (and
the resulting sg-list) describes a linear memory buffer. Meaning only first and
last scatter chain can be incomplete and all the middle chains are of PAGE_SIZE.
For us, a scatter-gather-list, as its name implies and as used by the Networking
layer, is to describe a vector of buffers that will be transferred to/from the
wire. It works very well with current iSCSI transport. iSCSI is currently the
only deployed OSD transport. In the future we anticipate SAS and FC attached OSD
devices as well.

or not.

Since 2.6.29 kernel, the driver has a more robust probing method, so
this error might happen rarely, though.
On a machine with a broken BIOS, sometimes you need to force the
driver to probe the codec slots the hardware doesn't report for use.
In such a case, turn the bit 8 (0x100) of `probe_mask` option on.
Then the rest 8 bits are passed as the codec slots to probe
unconditionally. For example, `probe_mask=0x103` will force to probe
the codec slots 0 and 1 no matter what the hardware reports.

When a probe error occurs or when the driver obviously assigns a
mismatched model, it'd be helpful to load the driver with
`probe_only=1` option (at best after the cold reboot) and run
alsa-info at this state. With this option, the driver won't configure
the mixer and PCM but just tries to probe the codec slot. After
probing, the proc file is available, so you can get the raw codec
information before modified by the driver. Of course, the driver
isn't usable with `probe_only=1`. But you can continue the
configuration via hwdep sysfs file if hda-reconfig option is enabled.

video buffer helper functions
-----------------------------
The v4l2 core API provides a standard method for dealing with video
buffers. Those methods allow a driver to implement read(), mmap() and
overlay() on a consistent way.
There are currently methods for using video buffers on devices that
supports DMA with scatter/gather method (videobuf-dma-sg), DMA with
linear access (videobuf-dma-contig), and vmalloced buffers, mostly
used on USB drivers (videobuf-vmalloc).
Any driver using videobuf should provide operations (callbacks) for
four handlers:
ops->buf_setup - calculates the size of the video buffers and avoid they
to waste more than some maximum limit of RAM;
ops->buf_prepare - fills the video buffer structs and calls
videobuf_iolock() to alloc and prepare mmaped memory;
ops->buf_queue - advices the driver that another buffer were
requested (by read() or by QBUF);
ops->buf_release - frees any buffer that were allocated.
In order to use it, the driver need to have a code (generally called at
interrupt context) that will properly handle the buffer request lists,
announcing that a new buffer were filled.
The irq handling code should handle the videobuf task lists, in order
to advice videobuf that a new frame were filled, in order to honor to a
request. The code is generally like this one:
if (list_empty(&dma_q->active))
return;
buf = list_entry(dma_q->active.next, struct vbuffer, vb.queue);
if (!waitqueue_active(&buf->vb.done))
return;
/* Some logic to handle the buf may be needed here */
list_del(&buf->vb.queue);
do_gettimeofday(&buf->vb.ts);
wake_up(&buf->vb.done);
Those are the videobuffer functions used on drivers, implemented on
videobuf-core:
- Videobuf init functions
videobuf_queue_sg_init()
Initializes the videobuf infrastructure. This function should be
called before any other videobuf function on drivers that uses DMA
Scatter/Gather buffers.
videobuf_queue_dma_contig_init
Initializes the videobuf infrastructure. This function should be
called before any other videobuf function on drivers that need DMA
contiguous buffers.
videobuf_queue_vmalloc_init()
Initializes the videobuf infrastructure. This function should be
called before any other videobuf function on USB (and other drivers)
that need a vmalloced type of videobuf.
- videobuf_iolock()
Prepares the videobuf memory for the proper method (read, mmap, overlay).
- videobuf_queue_is_busy()
Checks if a videobuf is streaming.
- videobuf_queue_cancel()
Stops video handling.
- videobuf_mmap_free()
frees mmap buffers.
- videobuf_stop()
Stops video handling, ends mmap and frees mmap and other buffers.
- V4L2 api functions. Those functions correspond to VIDIOC_foo ioctls:
videobuf_reqbufs(), videobuf_querybuf(), videobuf_qbuf(),
videobuf_dqbuf(), videobuf_streamon(), videobuf_streamoff().
- V4L1 api function (corresponds to VIDIOCMBUF ioctl):
videobuf_cgmbuf()
This function is used to provide backward compatibility with V4L1
API.
- Some help functions for read()/poll() operations:
videobuf_read_stream()
For continuous stream read()
videobuf_read_one()
For snapshot read()
videobuf_poll_stream()
polling help function
The better way to understand it is to take a look at vivi driver. One
of the main reasons for vivi is to be a videobuf usage example. the
vivi_thread_tick() does the task that the IRQ callback would do on PCI
drivers (or the irq callback on USB).
