+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.

+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:

+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.
-
-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. Copyright 2003 Intel Corporation
-
-3. What is MSI/MSI-X?
-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-        - Support a larger maximum number of vectors per function.
-
-        - 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.
-
-        - 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?
-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-Using MSI enables the device functions to support two or more
-vectors, which can be configured to target different CPUs to
-increase scalability.
-
-5. Configuring a driver to use MSI/MSI-X
-
-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
+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.
 
-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().
+2. What are MSIs?
 
-5.2.2 API pci_disable_msi
+A Message Signaled Interrupt is a write from the device to a special
+address which causes an interrupt to be received by the CPU.
 
-void pci_disable_msi(struct pci_dev *dev)
+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.
 
-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.
-
-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.
-
-5.2.3 MSI mode vs. legacy mode diagram
-
-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_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
+Devices may support both MSI and MSI-X, but only one can be enabled at
+a time.
 
-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.
+3. Why use MSIs?
+
+There are three reasons why using MSIs can give an advantage over
+traditional pin-based interrupts.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+
+4. How to use MSIs
+
+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.
+
+4.1 Include kernel support for MSIs
+
+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.
+
+4.2 Using MSI
+
+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.
+
+4.2.1 pci_enable_msi
+
+int pci_enable_msi(struct pci_dev *dev)
+
+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.
+
+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)
 
-Argument 'dev' points to the device (pci_dev) structure.
+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.
 
-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:
+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.
+
+4.3 Using MSI-X
+
+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.
-
-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.
-
-5.3.3 API pci_disable_msix
+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.
+
+4.3.1 pci_enable_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

-
-Figure 2. MSI-X Mode vs. Legacy Mode
-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-5.4 Handling function implementing both MSI and MSI-X capabilities
-
-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.
-
-5.5 Hardware requirements for MSI/MSI-X support
-
-MSI/MSI-X support requires support from both system hardware and
-individual hardware device functions.
-
-5.5.1 Required x86 hardware support
-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-5.5.2 Device hardware support
-
-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.
-
-5.6 How to tell whether MSI/MSI-X is enabled on device function
-
-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.
-
-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.

-6. MSI quirks
-
-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
-
-6.1. Disabling MSI on a single device
-
-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).
-
-6.2. Disabling MSI below a 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.
-
-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:
-
-        echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:0e/msi_bus
-
-To disable MSI support, echo 0 instead of 1. Note that it should be
-used with caution since changing this value might break interrupts.
-
-6.3. Disabling MSI globally
-
-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.
-
-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).
+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().
+
+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.
+
+4.3.3 The MSI-X Table
+
+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().
+
+4.4 Handling devices implementing both MSI and MSI-X capabilities
+
+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.
+
+4.5 Considerations when using MSIs
+
+4.5.1 Choosing between MSI-X and MSI
+
+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.
+
+4.5.2 Spinlocks
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+4.6 How to tell whether MSI/MSI-X is enabled on a device
+
+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).
+
+
+5. MSI quirks
+
+Several PCI chipsets or devices are known not to support MSIs.
+The PCI stack provides three ways to disable MSIs:
+
+1. globally
+2. on all devices behind a specific bridge
+3. on a single device
+
+5.1. Disabling MSIs globally
+
+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.
+
+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
+
+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.
+
+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:
+
+       echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/$bridge/msi_bus
+
+where $bridge is the PCI address of the bridge you've enabled (eg
+0000:00:0e.0).
+
+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.
+
+Again, please notify linux-pci@vger.kernel.org of any bridges that need
+special handling.
+
+5.3. Disabling MSIs on a single device
+
+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.
+
+5.4. Finding why MSIs are disabled on a device
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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().

+
+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);

+Smack Netlabel Exceptions
+
+You will often find that your labeled application has to talk to the outside,
+unlabeled world. To do this there's a special file /smack/netlabel where you can
+add some exceptions in the form of :
+@IP1       LABEL1 or
+@IP2/MASK  LABEL2
+
+It means that your application will have unlabeled access to @IP1 if it has
+write access on LABEL1, and access to the subnet @IP2/MASK if it has write
+access on LABEL2.
+
+Entries in the /smack/netlabel file are matched by longest mask first, like in
+classless IPv4 routing.
+
+A special label '@' and an option '-CIPSO' can be used there :
+@      means Internet, any application with any label has access to it
+-CIPSO means standard CIPSO networking
+
+If you don't know what CIPSO is and don't plan to use it, you can just do :
+echo 127.0.0.1 -CIPSO > /smack/netlabel
+echo 0.0.0.0/0 @      > /smack/netlabel

+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

-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%).

-Interlaced video modes          The reason that interleaved

-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

-                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 ...

-
-bpp             bpp for specified modes
-                valid values: 8 || 16 || 24 || 32

-                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

-        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
-please add a description here!]

-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.

+What:   CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY - old static regulatory information
+When:   March 2010 / desktop catchup
+
 Why:    The old regulatory infrastructure has been replaced with a new one
         which does not require statically defined regulatory domains. We do
         not want to keep static regulatory domains in the kernel due to the
         the dynamic nature of regulatory law and localization. We kept around
         the old static definitions for the regulatory domains of:
+
                 * US
                 * JP
                 * EU
+
         and used by default the US when CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY was
-        set. We also kept around the ieee80211_regdom module parameter in case
-        some applications were relying on it. Changing regulatory domains
-        can now be done instead by using nl80211, as is done with iw.
+        set. We will remove this option once the standard Linux desktop catches
+        up with the new userspace APIs we have implemented.

+        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,

+                          FS-CACHE CACHE BACKEND API
+                          ==========================
+
+The FS-Cache system provides an API by which actual caches can be supplied to
+FS-Cache for it to then serve out to network filesystems and other interested
+parties.
+
+This API is declared in <linux/fscache-cache.h>.
+
+
+====================================
+INITIALISING AND REGISTERING A CACHE
+====================================
+
+To start off, a cache definition must be initialised and registered for each
+cache the backend wants to make available.  For instance, CacheFS does this in
+the fill_super() operation on mounting.
+
+The cache definition (struct fscache_cache) should be initialised by calling:
+
+        void fscache_init_cache(struct fscache_cache *cache,
+                                struct fscache_cache_ops *ops,
+                                const char *idfmt,
+                                ...);
+
+Where:
+
+ (*) "cache" is a pointer to the cache definition;
+
+ (*) "ops" is a pointer to the table of operations that the backend supports on
+     this cache; and
+
+ (*) "idfmt" is a format and printf-style arguments for constructing a label
+     for the cache.
+
+
+The cache should then be registered with FS-Cache by passing a pointer to the
+previously initialised cache definition to:
+
+        int fscache_add_cache(struct fscache_cache *cache,
+                              struct fscache_object *fsdef,
+                              const char *tagname);
+
+Two extra arguments should also be supplied:
+
+ (*) "fsdef" which should point to the object representation for the FS-Cache
+     master index in this cache.  Netfs primary index entries will be created
+     here.  FS-Cache keeps the caller's reference to the index object if
+     successful and will release it upon withdrawal of the cache.
+
+ (*) "tagname" which, if given, should be a text string naming this cache.  If
+     this is NULL, the identifier will be used instead.  For CacheFS, the
+     identifier is set to name the underlying block device and the tag can be
+     supplied by mount.
+
+This function may return -ENOMEM if it ran out of memory or -EEXIST if the tag
+is already in use.  0 will be returned on success.
+
+
+=====================
+UNREGISTERING A CACHE
+=====================
+
+A cache can be withdrawn from the system by calling this function with a
+pointer to the cache definition:
+
+        void fscache_withdraw_cache(struct fscache_cache *cache);
+
+In CacheFS's case, this is called by put_super().
+
+
+========
+SECURITY
+========
+
+The cache methods are executed one of two contexts:
+
+ (1) that of the userspace process that issued the netfs operation that caused
+     the cache method to be invoked, or
+
+ (2) that of one of the processes in the FS-Cache thread pool.
+
+In either case, this may not be an appropriate context in which to access the
+cache.
+
+The calling process's fsuid, fsgid and SELinux security identities may need to
+be masqueraded for the duration of the cache driver's access to the cache.
+This is left to the cache to handle; FS-Cache makes no effort in this regard.
+
+
+===================================
+CONTROL AND STATISTICS PRESENTATION
+===================================
+
+The cache may present data to the outside world through FS-Cache's interfaces
+in sysfs and procfs - the former for control and the latter for statistics.
+
+A sysfs directory called /sys/fs/fscache/<cachetag>/ is created if CONFIG_SYSFS
+is enabled.  This is accessible through the kobject struct fscache_cache::kobj
+and is for use by the cache as it sees fit.
+
+
+========================
+RELEVANT DATA STRUCTURES
+========================
+
+ (*) Index/Data file FS-Cache representation cookie:
+
+        struct fscache_cookie {
+                struct fscache_object_def       *def;
+                struct fscache_netfs            *netfs;
+                void                            *netfs_data;
+                ...
+        };
+
+     The fields that might be of use to the backend describe the object
+     definition, the netfs definition and the netfs's data for this cookie.
+     The object definition contain functions supplied by the netfs for loading
+     and matching index entries; these are required to provide some of the
+     cache operations.
+
+
+ (*) In-cache object representation:
+
+        struct fscache_object {
+                int                             debug_id;
+                enum {
+                        FSCACHE_OBJECT_RECYCLING,
+                        ...
+                }                               state;
+                spinlock_t                      lock
+                struct fscache_cache            *cache;
+                struct fscache_cookie           *cookie;
+                ...
+        };
+
+     Structures of this type should be allocated by the cache backend and
+     passed to FS-Cache when requested by the appropriate cache operation.  In
+     the case of CacheFS, they're embedded in CacheFS's internal object
+     structures.
+
+     The debug_id is a simple integer that can be used in debugging messages
+     that refer to a particular object.  In such a case it should be printed
+     using "OBJ%x" to be consistent with FS-Cache.
+
+     Each object contains a pointer to the cookie that represents the object it
+     is backing.  An object should retired when put_object() is called if it is
+     in state FSCACHE_OBJECT_RECYCLING.  The fscache_object struct should be
+     initialised by calling fscache_object_init(object).
+
+
+ (*) FS-Cache operation record:
+
+        struct fscache_operation {
+                atomic_t                usage;
+                struct fscache_object   *object;
+                unsigned long           flags;
+        #define FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE
+                void (*processor)(struct fscache_operation *op);
+                void (*release)(struct fscache_operation *op);
+                ...
+        };
+
+     FS-Cache has a pool of threads that it uses to give CPU time to the
+     various asynchronous operations that need to be done as part of driving
+     the cache.  These are represented by the above structure.  The processor
+     method is called to give the op CPU time, and the release method to get
+     rid of it when its usage count reaches 0.
+
+     An operation can be made exclusive upon an object by setting the
+     appropriate flag before enqueuing it with fscache_enqueue_operation().  If
+     an operation needs more processing time, it should be enqueued again.
+
+
+ (*) FS-Cache retrieval operation record:
+
+        struct fscache_retrieval {
+                struct fscache_operation op;
+                struct address_space    *mapping;
+                struct list_head        *to_do;
+                ...
+        };
+
+     A structure of this type is allocated by FS-Cache to record retrieval and
+     allocation requests made by the netfs.  This struct is then passed to the
+     backend to do the operation.  The backend may get extra refs to it by
+     calling fscache_get_retrieval() and refs may be discarded by calling
+     fscache_put_retrieval().
+
+     A retrieval operation can be used by the backend to do retrieval work.  To
+     do this, the retrieval->op.processor method pointer should be set
+     appropriately by the backend and fscache_enqueue_retrieval() called to
+     submit it to the thread pool.  CacheFiles, for example, uses this to queue
+     page examination when it detects PG_lock being cleared.
+
+     The to_do field is an empty list available for the cache backend to use as
+     it sees fit.
+
+
+ (*) FS-Cache storage operation record:
+
+        struct fscache_storage {
+                struct fscache_operation op;
+                pgoff_t                 store_limit;
+                ...
+        };
+
+     A structure of this type is allocated by FS-Cache to record outstanding
+     writes to be made.  FS-Cache itself enqueues this operation and invokes
+     the write_page() method on the object at appropriate times to effect
+     storage.
+
+
+================
+CACHE OPERATIONS
+================
+
+The cache backend provides FS-Cache with a table of operations that can be
+performed on the denizens of the cache.  These are held in a structure of type:
+
+        struct fscache_cache_ops
+
+ (*) Name of cache provider [mandatory]:
+
+        const char *name
+
+     This isn't strictly an operation, but should be pointed at a string naming
+     the backend.
+
+
+ (*) Allocate a new object [mandatory]:
+
+        struct fscache_object *(*alloc_object)(struct fscache_cache *cache,
+                                               struct fscache_cookie *cookie)
+
+     This method is used to allocate a cache object representation to back a
+     cookie in a particular cache.  fscache_object_init() should be called on
+     the object to initialise it prior to returning.
+
+     This function may also be used to parse the index key to be used for
+     multiple lookup calls to turn it into a more convenient form.  FS-Cache
+     will call the lookup_complete() method to allow the cache to release the
+     form once lookup is complete or aborted.
+
+
+ (*) Look up and create object [mandatory]:
+
+        void (*lookup_object)(struct fscache_object *object)
+
+     This method is used to look up an object, given that the object is already
+     allocated and attached to the cookie.  This should instantiate that object
+     in the cache if it can.
+
+     The method should call fscache_object_lookup_negative() as soon as
+     possible if it determines the object doesn't exist in the cache.  If the
+     object is found to exist and the netfs indicates that it is valid then
+     fscache_obtained_object() should be called once the object is in a
+     position to have data stored in it.  Similarly, fscache_obtained_object()
+     should also be called once a non-present object has been created.
+
+     If a lookup error occurs, fscache_object_lookup_error() should be called
+     to abort the lookup of that object.
+
+
+ (*) Release lookup data [mandatory]:
+
+        void (*lookup_complete)(struct fscache_object *object)
+
+     This method is called to ask the cache to release any resources it was
+     using to perform a lookup.
+
+
+ (*) Increment object refcount [mandatory]:
+
+        struct fscache_object *(*grab_object)(struct fscache_object *object)
+
+     This method is called to increment the reference count on an object.  It
+     may fail (for instance if the cache is being withdrawn) by returning NULL.
+     It should return the object pointer if successful.
+
+
+ (*) Lock/Unlock object [mandatory]:
+
+        void (*lock_object)(struct fscache_object *object)
+        void (*unlock_object)(struct fscache_object *object)
+
+     These methods are used to exclusively lock an object.  It must be possible
+     to schedule with the lock held, so a spinlock isn't sufficient.
+
+
+ (*) Pin/Unpin object [optional]:
+
+        int (*pin_object)(struct fscache_object *object)
+        void (*unpin_object)(struct fscache_object *object)
+
+     These methods are used to pin an object into the cache.  Once pinned an
+     object cannot be reclaimed to make space.  Return -ENOSPC if there's not
+     enough space in the cache to permit this.
+
+
+ (*) Update object [mandatory]:
+
+        int (*update_object)(struct fscache_object *object)
+
+     This is called to update the index entry for the specified object.  The
+     new information should be in object->cookie->netfs_data.  This can be
+     obtained by calling object->cookie->def->get_aux()/get_attr().
+
+
+ (*) Discard object [mandatory]:
+
+        void (*drop_object)(struct fscache_object *object)
+
+     This method is called to indicate that an object has been unbound from its
+     cookie, and that the cache should release the object's resources and
+     retire it if it's in state FSCACHE_OBJECT_RECYCLING.
+
+     This method should not attempt to release any references held by the
+     caller.  The caller will invoke the put_object() method as appropriate.
+
+
+ (*) Release object reference [mandatory]:
+
+        void (*put_object)(struct fscache_object *object)
+
+     This method is used to discard a reference to an object.  The object may
+     be freed when all the references to it are released.
+
+
+ (*) Synchronise a cache [mandatory]:
+
+        void (*sync)(struct fscache_cache *cache)
+
+     This is called to ask the backend to synchronise a cache with its backing
+     device.
+
+
+ (*) Dissociate a cache [mandatory]:
+
+        void (*dissociate_pages)(struct fscache_cache *cache)
+
+     This is called to ask a cache to perform any page dissociations as part of
+     cache withdrawal.
+
+
+ (*) Notification that the attributes on a netfs file changed [mandatory]:
+
+        int (*attr_changed)(struct fscache_object *object);
+
+     This is called to indicate to the cache that certain attributes on a netfs
+     file have changed (for example the maximum size a file may reach).  The
+     cache can read these from the netfs by calling the cookie's get_attr()
+     method.
+
+     The cache may use the file size information to reserve space on the cache.
+     It should also call fscache_set_store_limit() to indicate to FS-Cache the
+     highest byte it's willing to store for an object.
+
+     This method may return -ve if an error occurred or the cache object cannot
+     be expanded.  In such a case, the object will be withdrawn from service.
+
+     This operation is run asynchronously from FS-Cache's thread pool, and
+     storage and retrieval operations from the netfs are excluded during the
+     execution of this operation.
+
+
+ (*) Reserve cache space for an object's data [optional]:
+
+        int (*reserve_space)(struct fscache_object *object, loff_t size);
+
+     This is called to request that cache space be reserved to hold the data
+     for an object and the metadata used to track it.  Zero size should be
+     taken as request to cancel a reservation.
+
+     This should return 0 if successful, -ENOSPC if there isn't enough space
+     available, or -ENOMEM or -EIO on other errors.
+
+     The reservation may exceed the current size of the object, thus permitting
+     future expansion.  If the amount of space consumed by an object would
+     exceed the reservation, it's permitted to refuse requests to allocate
+     pages, but not required.  An object may be pruned down to its reservation
+     size if larger than that already.
+
+
+ (*) Request page be read from cache [mandatory]:
+
+        int (*read_or_alloc_page)(struct fscache_retrieval *op,
+                                  struct page *page,
+                                  gfp_t gfp)
+
+     This is called to attempt to read a netfs page from the cache, or to
+     reserve a backing block if not.  FS-Cache will have done as much checking
+     as it can before calling, but most of the work belongs to the backend.
+
+     If there's no page in the cache, then -ENODATA should be returned if the
+     backend managed to reserve a backing block; -ENOBUFS or -ENOMEM if it
+     didn't.
+
+     If there is suitable data in the cache, then a read operation should be
+     queued and 0 returned.  When the read finishes, fscache_end_io() should be
+     called.
+
+     The fscache_mark_pages_cached() should be called for the page if any cache
+     metadata is retained.  This will indicate to the netfs that the page needs
+     explicit uncaching.  This operation takes a pagevec, thus allowing several
+     pages to be marked at once.
+
+     The retrieval record pointed to by op should be retained for each page
+     queued and released when I/O on the page has been formally ended.
+     fscache_get/put_retrieval() are available for this purpose.
+
+     The retrieval record may be used to get CPU time via the FS-Cache thread
+     pool.  If this is desired, the op->op.processor should be set to point to
+     the appropriate processing routine, and fscache_enqueue_retrieval() should
+     be called at an appropriate point to request CPU time.  For instance, the
+     retrieval routine could be enqueued upon the completion of a disk read.
+     The to_do field in the retrieval record is provided to aid in this.
+
+     If an I/O error occurs, fscache_io_error() should be called and -ENOBUFS
+     returned if possible or fscache_end_io() called with a suitable error
+     code..
+
+
+ (*) Request pages be read from cache [mandatory]:
+
+        int (*read_or_alloc_pages)(struct fscache_retrieval *op,
+                                   struct list_head *pages,
+                                   unsigned *nr_pages,
+                                   gfp_t gfp)
+
+     This is like the read_or_alloc_page() method, except it is handed a list
+     of pages instead of one page.  Any pages on which a read operation is
+     started must be added to the page cache for the specified mapping and also
+     to the LRU.  Such pages must also be removed from the pages list and
+     *nr_pages decremented per page.
+
+     If there was an error such as -ENOMEM, then that should be returned; else
+     if one or more pages couldn't be read or allocated, then -ENOBUFS should
+     be returned; else if one or more pages couldn't be read, then -ENODATA
+     should be returned.  If all the pages are dispatched then 0 should be
+     returned.
+
+
+ (*) Request page be allocated in the cache [mandatory]:
+
+        int (*allocate_page)(struct fscache_retrieval *op,
+                             struct page *page,
+                             gfp_t gfp)
+
+     This is like the read_or_alloc_page() method, except that it shouldn't
+     read from the cache, even if there's data there that could be retrieved.
+     It should, however, set up any internal metadata required such that
+     the write_page() method can write to the cache.
+
+     If there's no backing block available, then -ENOBUFS should be returned
+     (or -ENOMEM if there were other problems).  If a block is successfully
+     allocated, then the netfs page should be marked and 0 returned.
+
+
+ (*) Request pages be allocated in the cache [mandatory]:
+
+        int (*allocate_pages)(struct fscache_retrieval *op,
+                              struct list_head *pages,
+                              unsigned *nr_pages,
+                              gfp_t gfp)
+
+     This is an multiple page version of the allocate_page() method.  pages and
+     nr_pages should be treated as for the read_or_alloc_pages() method.
+
+
+ (*) Request page be written to cache [mandatory]:
+
+        int (*write_page)(struct fscache_storage *op,
+                          struct page *page);
+
+     This is called to write from a page on which there was a previously
+     successful read_or_alloc_page() call or similar.  FS-Cache filters out
+     pages that don't have mappings.
+
+     This method is called asynchronously from the FS-Cache thread pool.  It is
+     not required to actually store anything, provided -ENODATA is then
+     returned to the next read of this page.
+
+     If an error occurred, then a negative error code should be returned,
+     otherwise zero should be returned.  FS-Cache will take appropriate action
+     in response to an error, such as withdrawing this object.
+
+     If this method returns success then FS-Cache will inform the netfs
+     appropriately.
+
+
+ (*) Discard retained per-page metadata [mandatory]:
+
+        void (*uncache_page)(struct fscache_object *object, struct page *page)
+
+     This is called when a netfs page is being evicted from the pagecache.  The
+     cache backend should tear down any internal representation or tracking it
+     maintains for this page.
+
+
+==================
+FS-CACHE UTILITIES
+==================
+
+FS-Cache provides some utilities that a cache backend may make use of:
+
+ (*) Note occurrence of an I/O error in a cache:
+
+        void fscache_io_error(struct fscache_cache *cache)
+
+     This tells FS-Cache that an I/O error occurred in the cache.  After this
+     has been called, only resource dissociation operations (object and page
+     release) will be passed from the netfs to the cache backend for the
+     specified cache.
+
+     This does not actually withdraw the cache.  That must be done separately.
+
+
+ (*) Invoke the retrieval I/O completion function:
+
+        void fscache_end_io(struct fscache_retrieval *op, struct page *page,
+                            int error);
+
+     This is called to note the end of an attempt to retrieve a page.  The
+     error value should be 0 if successful and an error otherwise.
+
+
+ (*) Set highest store limit:
+
+        void fscache_set_store_limit(struct fscache_object *object,
+                                     loff_t i_size);
+
+     This sets the limit FS-Cache imposes on the highest byte it's willing to
+     try and store for a netfs.  Any page over this limit is automatically
+     rejected by fscache_read_alloc_page() and co with -ENOBUFS.
+
+
+ (*) Mark pages as being cached:
+
+        void fscache_mark_pages_cached(struct fscache_retrieval *op,
+                                       struct pagevec *pagevec);
+
+     This marks a set of pages as being cached.  After this has been called,
+     the netfs must call fscache_uncache_page() to unmark the pages.
+
+
+ (*) Perform coherency check on an object:
+
+        enum fscache_checkaux fscache_check_aux(struct fscache_object *object,
+                                                const void *data,
+                                                uint16_t datalen);
+
+     This asks the netfs to perform a coherency check on an object that has
+     just been looked up.  The cookie attached to the object will determine the
+     netfs to use.  data and datalen should specify where the auxiliary data
+     retrieved from the cache can be found.
+
+     One of three values will be returned:
+
+        (*) FSCACHE_CHECKAUX_OKAY
+
+            The coherency data indicates the object is valid as is.
+
+        (*) FSCACHE_CHECKAUX_NEEDS_UPDATE
+
+            The coherency data needs updating, but otherwise the object is
+            valid.
+
+        (*) FSCACHE_CHECKAUX_OBSOLETE
+
+            The coherency data indicates that the object is obsolete and should
+            be discarded.
+
+
+ (*) Initialise a freshly allocated object:
+
+        void fscache_object_init(struct fscache_object *object);
+
+     This initialises all the fields in an object representation.
+
+
+ (*) Indicate the destruction of an object:
+
+        void fscache_object_destroyed(struct fscache_cache *cache);
+
+     This must be called to inform FS-Cache that an object that belonged to a
+     cache has been destroyed and deallocated.  This will allow continuation
+     of the cache withdrawal process when it is stopped pending destruction of
+     all the objects.
+
+
+ (*) Indicate negative lookup on an object:
+
+        void fscache_object_lookup_negative(struct fscache_object *object);
+
+     This is called to indicate to FS-Cache that a lookup process for an object
+     found a negative result.
+
+     This changes the state of an object to permit reads pending on lookup
+     completion to go off and start fetching data from the netfs server as it's
+     known at this point that there can't be any data in the cache.
+
+     This may be called multiple times on an object.  Only the first call is
+     significant - all subsequent calls are ignored.
+
+
+ (*) Indicate an object has been obtained:
+
+        void fscache_obtained_object(struct fscache_object *object);
+
+     This is called to indicate to FS-Cache that a lookup process for an object
+     produced a positive result, or that an object was created.  This should
+     only be called once for any particular object.
+
+     This changes the state of an object to indicate:
+
+        (1) if no call to fscache_object_lookup_negative() has been made on
+            this object, that there may be data available, and that reads can
+            now go and look for it; and
+
+        (2) that writes may now proceed against this object.
+
+
+ (*) Indicate that object lookup failed:
+
+        void fscache_object_lookup_error(struct fscache_object *object);
+
+     This marks an object as having encountered a fatal error (usually EIO)
+     and causes it to move into a state whereby it will be withdrawn as soon
+     as possible.
+
+
+ (*) Get and release references on a retrieval record:
+
+        void fscache_get_retrieval(struct fscache_retrieval *op);
+        void fscache_put_retrieval(struct fscache_retrieval *op);
+
+     These two functions are used to retain a retrieval record whilst doing
+     asynchronous data retrieval and block allocation.
+
+
+ (*) Enqueue a retrieval record for processing.
+
+        void fscache_enqueue_retrieval(struct fscache_retrieval *op);
+
+     This enqueues a retrieval record for processing by the FS-Cache thread
+     pool.  One of the threads in the pool will invoke the retrieval record's
+     op->op.processor callback function.  This function may be called from
+     within the callback function.
+
+
+ (*) List of object state names:
+
+        const char *fscache_object_states[];
+
+     For debugging purposes, this may be used to turn the state that an object
+     is in into a text string for display purposes.

+========
+OVERVIEW
+========
+
+CacheFiles is a caching backend that's meant to use as a cache a directory on
+an already mounted filesystem of a local type (such as Ext3).
+
+CacheFiles uses a userspace daemon to do some of the cache management - such as
+reaping stale nodes and culling.  This is called cachefilesd and lives in
+/sbin.
+
+The filesystem and data integrity of the cache are only as good as those of the
+filesystem providing the backing services.  Note that CacheFiles does not
+attempt to journal anything since the journalling interfaces of the various
+filesystems are very specific in nature.
+
+CacheFiles creates a misc character device - "/dev/cachefiles" - that is used
+to communication with the daemon.  Only one thing may have this open at once,
+and whilst it is open, a cache is at least partially in existence.  The daemon
+opens this and sends commands down it to control the cache.
+
+CacheFiles is currently limited to a single cache.
+
+CacheFiles attempts to maintain at least a certain percentage of free space on
+the filesystem, shrinking the cache by culling the objects it contains to make
+space if necessary - see the "Cache Culling" section.  This means it can be
+placed on the same medium as a live set of data, and will expand to make use of
+spare space and automatically contract when the set of data requires more
+space.
+
+
+============
+REQUIREMENTS
+============
+
+The use of CacheFiles and its daemon requires the following features to be
+available in the system and in the cache filesystem:
+
+        - dnotify.
+
+        - extended attributes (xattrs).
+
+        - openat() and friends.
+
+        - bmap() support on files in the filesystem (FIBMAP ioctl).
+
+        - The use of bmap() to detect a partial page at the end of the file.
+
+It is strongly recommended that the "dir_index" option is enabled on Ext3
+filesystems being used as a cache.
+
+
+=============
+CONFIGURATION
+=============
+
+The cache is configured by a script in /etc/cachefilesd.conf.  These commands
+set up cache ready for use.  The following script commands are available:
+
+ (*) brun <N>%
+ (*) bcull <N>%
+ (*) bstop <N>%
+ (*) frun <N>%
+ (*) fcull <N>%
+ (*) fstop <N>%
+
+        Configure the culling limits.  Optional.  See the section on culling
+        The defaults are 7% (run), 5% (cull) and 1% (stop) respectively.
+
+        The commands beginning with a 'b' are file space (block) limits, those
+        beginning with an 'f' are file count limits.
+
+ (*) dir <path>
+
+        Specify the directory containing the root of the cache.  Mandatory.
+
+ (*) tag <name>
+
+        Specify a tag to FS-Cache to use in distinguishing multiple caches.
+        Optional.  The default is "CacheFiles".
+
+ (*) debug <mask>
+
+        Specify a numeric bitmask to control debugging in the kernel module.
+        Optional.  The default is zero (all off).  The following values can be
+        OR'd into the mask to collect various information:
+
+                1       Turn on trace of function entry (_enter() macros)
+                2       Turn on trace of function exit (_leave() macros)
+                4       Turn on trace of internal debug points (_debug())
+
+        This mask can also be set through sysfs, eg:
+
+                echo 5 >/sys/modules/cachefiles/parameters/debug
+
+
+==================
+STARTING THE CACHE
+==================
+
+The cache is started by running the daemon.  The daemon opens the cache device,
+configures the cache and tells it to begin caching.  At that point the cache
+binds to fscache and the cache becomes live.
+
+The daemon is run as follows:
+
+        /sbin/cachefilesd [-d]* [-s] [-n] [-f <configfile>]
+
+The flags are:
+
+ (*) -d
+
+        Increase the debugging level.  This can be specified multiple times and
+        is cumulative with itself.
+
+ (*) -s
+
+        Send messages to stderr instead of syslog.
+
+ (*) -n
+
+        Don't daemonise and go into background.
+
+ (*) -f <configfile>
+
+        Use an alternative configuration file rather than the default one.
+
+
+===============
+THINGS TO AVOID
+===============
+
+Do not mount other things within the cache as this will cause problems.  The
+kernel module contains its own very cut-down path walking facility that ignores
+mountpoints, but the daemon can't avoid them.
+
+Do not create, rename or unlink files and directories in the cache whilst the
+cache is active, as this may cause the state to become uncertain.
+
+Renaming files in the cache might make objects appear to be other objects (the
+filename is part of the lookup key).
+
+Do not change or remove the extended attributes attached to cache files by the
+cache as this will cause the cache state management to get confused.
+
+Do not create files or directories in the cache, lest the cache get confused or
+serve incorrect data.
+
+Do not chmod files in the cache.  The module creates things with minimal
+permissions to prevent random users being able to access them directly.
+
+
+=============
+CACHE CULLING
+=============
+
+The cache may need culling occasionally to make space.  This involves
+discarding objects from the cache that have been used less recently than
+anything else.  Culling is based on the access time of data objects.  Empty
+directories are culled if not in use.
+
+Cache culling is done on the basis of the percentage of blocks and the
+percentage of files available in the underlying filesystem.  There are six
+"limits":
+
+ (*) brun
+ (*) frun
+
+     If the amount of free space and the number of available files in the cache
+     rises above both these limits, then culling is turned off.
+
+ (*) bcull
+ (*) fcull
+
+     If the amount of available space or the number of available files in the
+     cache falls below either of these limits, then culling is started.
+
+ (*) bstop
+ (*) fstop
+
+     If the amount of available space or the number of available files in the
+     cache falls below either of these limits, then no further allocation of
+     disk space or files is permitted until culling has raised things above
+     these limits again.
+
+These must be configured thusly:
+
+        0 <= bstop < bcull < brun < 100
+        0 <= fstop < fcull < frun < 100
+
+Note that these are percentages of available space and available files, and do
+_not_ appear as 100 minus the percentage displayed by the "df" program.
+
+The userspace daemon scans the cache to build up a table of cullable objects.
+These are then culled in least recently used order.  A new scan of the cache is
+started as soon as space is made in the table.  Objects will be skipped if
+their atimes have changed or if the kernel module says it is still using them.
+
+
+===============
+CACHE STRUCTURE
+===============
+
+The CacheFiles module will create two directories in the directory it was
+given:
+
+ (*) cache/
+
+ (*) graveyard/
+
+The active cache objects all reside in the first directory.  The CacheFiles
+kernel module moves any retired or culled objects that it can't simply unlink
+to the graveyard from which the daemon will actually delete them.
+
+The daemon uses dnotify to monitor the graveyard directory, and will delete
+anything that appears therein.
+
+
+The module represents index objects as directories with the filename "I..." or
+"J...".  Note that the "cache/" directory is itself a special index.
+
+Data objects are represented as files if they have no children, or directories
+if they do.  Their filenames all begin "D..." or "E...".  If represented as a
+directory, data objects will have a file in the directory called "data" that
+actually holds the data.
+
+Special objects are similar to data objects, except their filenames begin
+"S..." or "T...".
+
+
+If an object has children, then it will be represented as a directory.
+Immediately in the representative directory are a collection of directories
+named for hash values of the child object keys with an '@' prepended.  Into
+this directory, if possible, will be placed the representations of the child
+objects:
+
+        INDEX     INDEX      INDEX                             DATA FILES
+        ========= ========== ================================= ================
+        cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400
+        cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400/@75/Es0g000w...DB1ry
+        cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400/@75/Es0g000w...N22ry
+        cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400/@75/Es0g000w...FP1ry
+
+
+If the key is so long that it exceeds NAME_MAX with the decorations added on to
+it, then it will be cut into pieces, the first few of which will be used to
+make a nest of directories, and the last one of which will be the objects
+inside the last directory.  The names of the intermediate directories will have
+'+' prepended:
+
+        J1223/@23/+xy...z/+kl...m/Epqr
+
+
+Note that keys are raw data, and not only may they exceed NAME_MAX in size,
+they may also contain things like '/' and NUL characters, and so they may not
+be suitable for turning directly into a filename.
+
+To handle this, CacheFiles will use a suitably printable filename directly and
+"base-64" encode ones that aren't directly suitable.  The two versions of
+object filenames indicate the encoding:
+
+        OBJECT TYPE     PRINTABLE       ENCODED
+        =============== =============== ===============
+        Index           "I..."          "J..."
+        Data            "D..."          "E..."
+        Special         "S..."          "T..."
+
+Intermediate directories are always "@" or "+" as appropriate.
+
+
+Each object in the cache has an extended attribute label that holds the object
+type ID (required to distinguish special objects) and the auxiliary data from
+the netfs.  The latter is used to detect stale objects in the cache and update
+or retire them.
+
+
+Note that CacheFiles will erase from the cache any file it doesn't recognise or
+any file of an incorrect type (such as a FIFO file or a device file).
+
+
+==========================
+SECURITY MODEL AND SELINUX
+==========================
+
+CacheFiles is implemented to deal properly with the LSM security features of
+the Linux kernel and the SELinux facility.
+
+One of the problems that CacheFiles faces is that it is generally acting on
+behalf of a process, and running in that process's context, and that includes a
+security context that is not appropriate for accessing the cache - either
+because the files in the cache are inaccessible to that process, or because if
+the process creates a file in the cache, that file may be inaccessible to other
+processes.
+
+The way CacheFiles works is to temporarily change the security context (fsuid,
+fsgid and actor security label) that the process acts as - without changing the
+security context of the process when it the target of an operation performed by
+some other process (so signalling and suchlike still work correctly).
+
+
+When the CacheFiles module is asked to bind to its cache, it:
+
+ (1) Finds the security label attached to the root cache directory and uses
+     that as the security label with which it will create files.  By default,
+     this is:
+
+        cachefiles_var_t
+
+ (2) Finds the security label of the process which issued the bind request
+     (presumed to be the cachefilesd daemon), which by default will be:
+
+        cachefilesd_t
+
+     and asks LSM to supply a security ID as which it should act given the
+     daemon's label.  By default, this will be:
+
+        cachefiles_kernel_t
+
+     SELinux transitions the daemon's security ID to the module's security ID
+     based on a rule of this form in the policy.
+
+        type_transition <daemon's-ID> kernel_t : process <module's-ID>;
+
+     For instance:
+
+        type_transition cachefilesd_t kernel_t : process cachefiles_kernel_t;
+
+
+The module's security ID gives it permission to create, move and remove files
+and directories in the cache, to find and access directories and files in the
+cache, to set and access extended attributes on cache objects, and to read and
+write files in the cache.
+
+The daemon's security ID gives it only a very restricted set of permissions: it
+may scan directories, stat files and erase files and directories.  It may
+not read or write files in the cache, and so it is precluded from accessing the
+data cached therein; nor is it permitted to create new files in the cache.
+
+
+There are policy source files available in:
+
+        http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd-0.8.tar.bz2
+
+and later versions.  In that tarball, see the files:
+
+        cachefilesd.te
+        cachefilesd.fc
+        cachefilesd.if
+
+They are built and installed directly by the RPM.
+
+If a non-RPM based system is being used, then copy the above files to their own
+directory and run:
+
+        make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile
+        semodule -i cachefilesd.pp
+
+You will need checkpolicy and selinux-policy-devel installed prior to the
+build.
+
+
+By default, the cache is located in /var/fscache, but if it is desirable that
+it should be elsewhere, than either the above policy files must be altered, or
+an auxiliary policy must be installed to label the alternate location of the
+cache.
+
+For instructions on how to add an auxiliary policy to enable the cache to be
+located elsewhere when SELinux is in enforcing mode, please see:
+
+        /usr/share/doc/cachefilesd-*/move-cache.txt
+
+When the cachefilesd rpm is installed; alternatively, the document can be found
+in the sources.
+
+
+==================
+A NOTE ON SECURITY
+==================
+
+CacheFiles makes use of the split security in the task_struct.  It allocates
+its own task_security structure, and redirects current->act_as to point to it
+when it acts on behalf of another process, in that process's context.
+
+The reason it does this is that it calls vfs_mkdir() and suchlike rather than
+bypassing security and calling inode ops directly.  Therefore the VFS and LSM
+may deny the CacheFiles access to the cache data because under some
+circumstances the caching code is running in the security context of whatever
+process issued the original syscall on the netfs.
+
+Furthermore, should CacheFiles create a file or directory, the security
+parameters with that object is created (UID, GID, security label) would be
+derived from that process that issued the system call, thus potentially
+preventing other processes from accessing the cache - including CacheFiles's
+cache management daemon (cachefilesd).
+
+What is required is to temporarily override the security of the process that
+issued the system call.  We can't, however, just do an in-place change of the
+security data as that affects the process as an object, not just as a subject.
+This means it may lose signals or ptrace events for example, and affects what
+the process looks like in /proc.
+
+So CacheFiles makes use of a logical split in the security between the
+objective security (task->sec) and the subjective security (task->act_as).  The
+objective security holds the intrinsic security properties of a process and is
+never overridden.  This is what appears in /proc, and is what is used when a
+process is the target of an operation by some other process (SIGKILL for
+example).
+
+The subjective security holds the active security properties of a process, and
+may be overridden.  This is not seen externally, and is used whan a process
+acts upon another object, for example SIGKILLing another process or opening a
+file.
+
+LSM hooks exist that allow SELinux (or Smack or whatever) to reject a request
+for CacheFiles to run in a context of a specific security label, or to create
+files and directories with another security label.
+
+
+=======================
+STATISTICAL INFORMATION
+=======================
+
+If FS-Cache is compiled with the following option enabled:
+
+        CONFIG_CACHEFILES_HISTOGRAM=y
+
+then it will gather certain statistics and display them through a proc file.
+
+ (*) /proc/fs/cachefiles/histogram
+
+        cat /proc/fs/cachefiles/histogram
+        JIFS  SECS  LOOKUPS   MKDIRS    CREATES
+        ===== ===== ========= ========= =========
+
+     This shows the breakdown of the number of times each amount of time
+     between 0 jiffies and HZ-1 jiffies a variety of tasks took to run.  The
+     columns are as follows:
+
+        COLUMN          TIME MEASUREMENT
+        =======         =======================================================
+        LOOKUPS         Length of time to perform a lookup on the backing fs
+        MKDIRS          Length of time to perform a mkdir on the backing fs
+        CREATES         Length of time to perform a create on the backing fs
+
+     Each row shows the number of events that took a particular range of times.
+     Each step is 1 jiffy in size.  The JIFS column indicates the particular
+     jiffy range covered, and the SECS field the equivalent number of seconds.
+
+
+=========
+DEBUGGING
+=========
+
+If CONFIG_CACHEFILES_DEBUG is enabled, the CacheFiles facility can have runtime
+debugging enabled by adjusting the value in:
+
+        /sys/module/cachefiles/parameters/debug
+
+This is a bitmask of debugging streams to enable:
+
+        BIT     VALUE   STREAM                          POINT
+        ======= ======= =============================== =======================
+        0       1       General                         Function entry trace
+        1       2                                       Function exit trace
+        2       4                                       General
+
+The appropriate set of values should be OR'd together and the result written to
+the control file.  For example:
+
+        echo $((1|4|8)) >/sys/module/cachefiles/parameters/debug
+
+will turn on all function entry debugging.

+OVERVIEW
+========
+
+This facility is a general purpose cache for network filesystems, though it
+could be used for caching other things such as ISO9660 filesystems too.
+
+FS-Cache mediates between cache backends (such as CacheFS) and network
+filesystems:

+
+Or to look at it another way, FS-Cache is a module that provides a caching
+facility to a network filesystem such that the cache is transparent to the

+
+FS-Cache does not follow the idea of completely loading every netfs file
+opened in its entirety into a cache before permitting it to be accessed and
+then serving the pages out of that cache rather than the netfs inode because:
+
+ (1) It must be practical to operate without a cache.
+
+ (2) The size of any accessible file must not be limited to the size of the
+     cache.
+
+ (3) The combined size of all opened files (this includes mapped libraries)
+     must not be limited to the size of the cache.
+
+ (4) The user should not be forced to download an entire file just to do a
+     one-off access of a small portion of it (such as might be done with the
+     "file" program).
+
+It instead serves the cache out in PAGE_SIZE chunks as and when requested by
+the netfs('s) using it.
+
+
+FS-Cache provides the following facilities:
+
+ (1) More than one cache can be used at once.  Caches can be selected
+     explicitly by use of tags.
+
+ (2) Caches can be added / removed at any time.
+
+ (3) The netfs is provided with an interface that allows either party to
+     withdraw caching facilities from a file (required for (2)).
+
+ (4) The interface to the netfs returns as few errors as possible, preferring
+     rather to let the netfs remain oblivious.
+
+ (5) Cookies are used to represent indices, files and other objects to the
+     netfs.  The simplest cookie is just a NULL pointer - indicating nothing
+     cached there.
+
+ (6) The netfs is allowed to propose - dynamically - any index hierarchy it
+     desires, though it must be aware that the index search function is
+     recursive, stack space is limited, and indices can only be children of
+     indices.
+
+ (7) Data I/O is done direct to and from the netfs's pages.  The netfs
+     indicates that page A is at index B of the data-file represented by cookie
+     C, and that it should be read or written.  The cache backend may or may
+     not start I/O on that page, but if it does, a netfs callback will be
+     invoked to indicate completion.  The I/O may be either synchronous or
+     asynchronous.
+
+ (8) Cookies can be "retired" upon release.  At this point FS-Cache will mark
+     them as obsolete and the index hierarchy rooted at that point will get
+     recycled.
+
+ (9) The netfs provides a "match" function for index searches.  In addition to
+     saying whether a match was made or not, this can also specify that an
+     entry should be updated or deleted.
+
+(10) As much as possible is done asynchronously.
+
+
+FS-Cache maintains a virtual indexing tree in which all indices, files, objects
+and pages are kept.  Bits of this tree may actually reside in one or more
+caches.

+In the example above, you can see two netfs's being backed: NFS and AFS.  These
+have different index hierarchies:
+
+ (*) The NFS primary index contains per-server indices.  Each server index is
+     indexed by NFS file handles to get data file objects.  Each data file
+     objects can have an array of pages, but may also have further child
+     objects, such as extended attributes and directory entries.  Extended
+     attribute objects themselves have page-array contents.
+
+ (*) The AFS primary index contains per-cell indices.  Each cell index contains
+     per-logical-volume indices.  Each of volume index contains up to three
+     indices for the read-write, read-only and backup mirrors of those volumes.
+     Each of these contains vnode data file objects, each of which contains an
+     array of pages.
+
+The very top index is the FS-Cache master index in which individual netfs's
+have entries.
+
+Any index object may reside in more than one cache, provided it only has index
+children.  Any index with non-index object children will be assumed to only
+reside in one cache.

+                        FS-CACHE NETWORK FILESYSTEM API
+                        ===============================
+
+There's an API by which a network filesystem can make use of the FS-Cache
+facilities.  This is based around a number of principles:
+
+ (1) Caches can store a number of different object types.  There are two main
+     object types: indices and files.  The first is a special type used by
+     FS-Cache to make finding objects faster and to make retiring of groups of
+     objects easier.
+
+ (2) Every index, file or other object is represented by a cookie.  This cookie
+     may or may not have anything associated with it, but the netfs doesn't
+     need to care.
+
+ (3) Barring the top-level index (one entry per cached netfs), the index
+     hierarchy for each netfs is structured according the whim of the netfs.
+
+This API is declared in <linux/fscache.h>.
+
+This document contains the following sections:
+
+         (1) Network filesystem definition
+         (2) Index definition
+         (3) Object definition
+         (4) Network filesystem (un)registration
+         (5) Cache tag lookup
+         (6) Index registration
+         (7) Data file registration
+         (8) Miscellaneous object registration
+         (9) Setting the data file size
+        (10) Page alloc/read/write
+        (11) Page uncaching
+        (12) Index and data file update
+        (13) Miscellaneous cookie operations
+        (14) Cookie unregistration
+        (15) Index and data file invalidation
+        (16) FS-Cache specific page flags.

+=============================
+NETWORK FILESYSTEM DEFINITION
+=============================
+
+FS-Cache needs a description of the network filesystem.  This is specified
+using a record of the following structure:
+
+        struct fscache_netfs {
+                uint32_t                        version;
+                const char                      *name;
+                struct fscache_cookie           *primary_index;
+                ...
+        };
+
+This first two fields should be filled in before registration, and the third
+will be filled in by the registration function; any other fields should just be
+ignored and are for internal use only.
+
+The fields are:
+
+ (1) The name of the netfs (used as the key in the toplevel index).
+
+ (2) The version of the netfs (if the name matches but the version doesn't, the
+     entire in-cache hierarchy for this netfs will be scrapped and begun
+     afresh).
+
+ (3) The cookie representing the primary index will be allocated according to
+     another parameter passed into the registration function.
+
+For example, kAFS (linux/fs/afs/) uses the following definitions to describe
+itself:
+
+        struct fscache_netfs afs_cache_netfs = {
+                .version        = 0,
+                .name           = "afs",
+        };
+
+
+================
+INDEX DEFINITION
+================
+
+Indices are used for two purposes:
+
+ (1) To aid the finding of a file based on a series of keys (such as AFS's
+     "cell", "volume ID", "vnode ID").
+
+ (2) To make it easier to discard a subset of all the files cached based around
+     a particular key - for instance to mirror the removal of an AFS volume.
+
+However, since it's unlikely that any two netfs's are going to want to define
+their index hierarchies in quite the same way, FS-Cache tries to impose as few
+restraints as possible on how an index is structured and where it is placed in
+the tree.  The netfs can even mix indices and data files at the same level, but
+it's not recommended.
+
+Each index entry consists of a key of indeterminate length plus some auxilliary
+data, also of indeterminate length.
+
+There are some limits on indices:
+
+ (1) Any index containing non-index objects should be restricted to a single
+     cache.  Any such objects created within an index will be created in the
+     first cache only.  The cache in which an index is created can be
+     controlled by cache tags (see below).
+
+ (2) The entry data must be atomically journallable, so it is limited to about
+     400 bytes at present.  At least 400 bytes will be available.
+
+ (3) The depth of the index tree should be judged with care as the search
+     function is recursive.  Too many layers will run the kernel out of stack.
+
+
+=================
+OBJECT DEFINITION
+=================
+
+To define an object, a structure of the following type should be filled out:
+
+        struct fscache_cookie_def
+        {
+                uint8_t name[16];
+                uint8_t type;
+
+                struct fscache_cache_tag *(*select_cache)(
+                        const void *parent_netfs_data,
+                        const void *cookie_netfs_data);
+
+                uint16_t (*get_key)(const void *cookie_netfs_data,
+                                    void *buffer,
+                                    uint16_t bufmax);
+
+                void (*get_attr)(const void *cookie_netfs_data,
+                                 uint64_t *size);
+
+                uint16_t (*get_aux)(const void *cookie_netfs_data,
+                                    void *buffer,
+                                    uint16_t bufmax);
+
+                enum fscache_checkaux (*check_aux)(void *cookie_netfs_data,
+                                                   const void *data,
+                                                   uint16_t datalen);
+
+                void (*get_context)(void *cookie_netfs_data, void *context);
+
+                void (*put_context)(void *cookie_netfs_data, void *context);
+
+                void (*mark_pages_cached)(void *cookie_netfs_data,
+                                          struct address_space *mapping,
+                                          struct pagevec *cached_pvec);
+
+                void (*now_uncached)(void *cookie_netfs_data);
+        };
+
+This has the following fields:
+
+ (1) The type of the object [mandatory].
+
+     This is one of the following values:
+
+        (*) FSCACHE_COOKIE_TYPE_INDEX
+
+            This defines an index, which is a special FS-Cache type.
+
+        (*) FSCACHE_COOKIE_TYPE_DATAFILE
+
+            This defines an ordinary data file.
+
+        (*) Any other value between 2 and 255
+
+            This defines an extraordinary object such as an XATTR.
+
+ (2) The name of the object type (NUL terminated unless all 16 chars are used)
+     [optional].
+
+ (3) A function to select the cache in which to store an index [optional].
+
+     This function is invoked when an index needs to be instantiated in a cache
+     during the instantiation of a non-index object.  Only the immediate index
+     parent for the non-index object will be queried.  Any indices above that
+     in the hierarchy may be stored in multiple caches.  This function does not
+     need to be supplied for any non-index object or any index that will only
+     have index children.
+
+     If this function is not supplied or if it returns NULL then the first
+     cache in the parent's list will be chosed, or failing that, the first
+     cache in the master list.
+
+ (4) A function to retrieve an object's key from the netfs [mandatory].
+
+     This function will be called with the netfs data that was passed to the
+     cookie acquisition function and the maximum length of key data that it may
+     provide.  It should write the required key data into the given buffer and
+     return the quantity it wrote.
+
+ (5) A function to retrieve attribute data from the netfs [optional].
+
+     This function will be called with the netfs data that was passed to the
+     cookie acquisition function.  It should return the size of the file if
+     this is a data file.  The size may be used to govern how much cache must
+     be reserved for this file in the cache.
+
+     If the function is absent, a file size of 0 is assumed.
+
+ (6) A function to retrieve auxilliary data from the netfs [optional].
+
+     This function will be called with the netfs data that was passed to the
+     cookie acquisition function and the maximum length of auxilliary data that
+     it may provide.  It should write the auxilliary data into the given buffer
+     and return the quantity it wrote.
+
+     If this function is absent, the auxilliary data length will be set to 0.
+
+     The length of the auxilliary data buffer may be dependent on the key
+     length.  A netfs mustn't rely on being able to provide more than 400 bytes
+     for both.
+
+ (7) A function to check the auxilliary data [optional].
+
+     This function will be called to check that a match found in the cache for
+     this object is valid.  For instance with AFS it could check the auxilliary
+     data against the data version number returned by the server to determine
+     whether the index entry in a cache is still valid.
+
+     If this function is absent, it will be assumed that matching objects in a
+     cache are always valid.
+
+     If present, the function should return one of the following values:
+
+        (*) FSCACHE_CHECKAUX_OKAY               - the entry is okay as is
+        (*) FSCACHE_CHECKAUX_NEEDS_UPDATE       - the entry requires update
+        (*) FSCACHE_CHECKAUX_OBSOLETE           - the entry should be deleted
+
+     This function can also be used to extract data from the auxilliary data in
+     the cache and copy it into the netfs's structures.
+
+ (8) A pair of functions to manage contexts for the completion callback
+     [optional].
+
+     The cache read/write functions are passed a context which is then passed
+     to the I/O completion callback function.  To ensure this context remains
+     valid until after the I/O completion is called, two functions may be
+     provided: one to get an extra reference on the context, and one to drop a
+     reference to it.
+
+     If the context is not used or is a type of object that won't go out of
+     scope, then these functions are not required.  These functions are not
+     required for indices as indices may not contain data.  These functions may
+     be called in interrupt context and so may not sleep.
+
+ (9) A function to mark a page as retaining cache metadata [optional].
+
+     This is called by the cache to indicate that it is retaining in-memory
+     information for this page and that the netfs should uncache the page when
+     it has finished.  This does not indicate whether there's data on the disk
+     or not.  Note that several pages at once may be presented for marking.
+
+     The PG_fscache bit is set on the pages before this function would be
+     called, so the function need not be provided if this is sufficient.
+
+     This function is not required for indices as they're not permitted data.
+
+(10) A function to unmark all the pages retaining cache metadata [mandatory].
+
+     This is called by FS-Cache to indicate that a backing store is being
+     unbound from a cookie and that all the marks on the pages should be
+     cleared to prevent confusion.  Note that the cache will have torn down all
+     its tracking information so that the pages don't need to be explicitly
+     uncached.
+
+     This function is not required for indices as they're not permitted data.
+
+
+===================================
+NETWORK FILESYSTEM (UN)REGISTRATION
+===================================
+
+The first step is to declare the network filesystem to the cache.  This also
+involves specifying the layout of the primary index (for AFS, this would be the
+"cell" level).
+
+The registration function is:
+
+        int fscache_register_netfs(struct fscache_netfs *netfs);
+
+It just takes a pointer to the netfs definition.  It returns 0 or an error as
+appropriate.
+
+For kAFS, registration is done as follows:
+
+        ret = fscache_register_netfs(&afs_cache_netfs);
+
+The last step is, of course, unregistration:
+
+        void fscache_unregister_netfs(struct fscache_netfs *netfs);
+
+
+================
+CACHE TAG LOOKUP
+================
+
+FS-Cache permits the use of more than one cache.  To permit particular index
+subtrees to be bound to particular caches, the second step is to look up cache
+representation tags.  This step is optional; it can be left entirely up to
+FS-Cache as to which cache should be used.  The problem with doing that is that
+FS-Cache will always pick the first cache that was registered.
+
+To get the representation for a named tag:
+
+        struct fscache_cache_tag *fscache_lookup_cache_tag(const char *name);
+
+This takes a text string as the name and returns a representation of a tag.  It
+will never return an error.  It may return a dummy tag, however, if it runs out
+of memory; this will inhibit caching with this tag.
+
+Any representation so obtained must be released by passing it to this function:
+
+        void fscache_release_cache_tag(struct fscache_cache_tag *tag);
+
+The tag will be retrieved by FS-Cache when it calls the object definition
+operation select_cache().
+
+
+==================
+INDEX REGISTRATION
+==================
+
+The third step is to inform FS-Cache about part of an index hierarchy that can
+be used to locate files.  This is done by requesting a cookie for each index in
+the path to the file:
+
+        struct fscache_cookie *
+        fscache_acquire_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *parent,
+                               const struct fscache_object_def *def,
+                               void *netfs_data);
+
+This function creates an index entry in the index represented by parent,
+filling in the index entry by calling the operations pointed to by def.
+
+Note that this function never returns an error - all errors are handled
+internally.  It may, however, return NULL to indicate no cookie.  It is quite
+acceptable to pass this token back to this function as the parent to another
+acquisition (or even to the relinquish cookie, read page and write page
+functions - see below).
+
+Note also that no indices are actually created in a cache until a non-index
+object needs to be created somewhere down the hierarchy.  Furthermore, an index
+may be created in several different caches independently at different times.
+This is all handled transparently, and the netfs doesn't see any of it.
+
+For example, with AFS, a cell would be added to the primary index.  This index
+entry would have a dependent inode containing a volume location index for the
+volume mappings within this cell:
+
+        cell->cache =
+                fscache_acquire_cookie(afs_cache_netfs.primary_index,
+                                       &afs_cell_cache_index_def,
+                                       cell);
+
+Then when a volume location was accessed, it would be entered into the cell's
+index and an inode would be allocated that acts as a volume type and hash chain
+combination:
+
+        vlocation->cache =
+                fscache_acquire_cookie(cell->cache,
+                                       &afs_vlocation_cache_index_def,
+                                       vlocation);
+
+And then a particular flavour of volume (R/O for example) could be added to
+that index, creating another index for vnodes (AFS inode equivalents):
+
+        volume->cache =
+                fscache_acquire_cookie(vlocation->cache,
+                                       &afs_volume_cache_index_def,
+                                       volume);
+
+
+======================
+DATA FILE REGISTRATION
+======================
+
+The fourth step is to request a data file be created in the cache.  This is
+identical to index cookie acquisition.  The only difference is that the type in
+the object definition should be something other than index type.
+
+        vnode->cache =
+                fscache_acquire_cookie(volume->cache,
+                                       &afs_vnode_cache_object_def,
+                                       vnode);
+
+
+=================================
+MISCELLANEOUS OBJECT REGISTRATION
+=================================
+
+An optional step is to request an object of miscellaneous type be created in
+the cache.  This is almost identical to index cookie acquisition.  The only
+difference is that the type in the object definition should be something other
+than index type.  Whilst the parent object could be an index, it's more likely
+it would be some other type of object such as a data file.
+
+        xattr->cache =
+                fscache_acquire_cookie(vnode->cache,
+                                       &afs_xattr_cache_object_def,
+                                       xattr);
+
+Miscellaneous objects might be used to store extended attributes or directory
+entries for example.
+
+
+==========================
+SETTING THE DATA FILE SIZE
+==========================
+
+The fifth step is to set the physical attributes of the file, such as its size.
+This doesn't automatically reserve any space in the cache, but permits the
+cache to adjust its metadata for data tracking appropriately:
+
+        int fscache_attr_changed(struct fscache_cookie *cookie);
+
+The cache will return -ENOBUFS if there is no backing cache or if there is no
+space to allocate any extra metadata required in the cache.  The attributes
+will be accessed with the get_attr() cookie definition operation.
+
+Note that attempts to read or write data pages in the cache over this size may
+be rebuffed with -ENOBUFS.
+
+This operation schedules an attribute adjustment to happen asynchronously at
+some point in the future, and as such, it may happen after the function returns
+to the caller.  The attribute adjustment excludes read and write operations.
+
+
+=====================
+PAGE READ/ALLOC/WRITE
+=====================
+
+And the sixth step is to store and retrieve pages in the cache.  There are
+three functions that are used to do this.
+
+Note:
+
+ (1) A page should not be re-read or re-allocated without uncaching it first.
+
+ (2) A read or allocated page must be uncached when the netfs page is released
+     from the pagecache.
+
+ (3) A page should only be written to the cache if previous read or allocated.
+
+This permits the cache to maintain its page tracking in proper order.
+
+
+PAGE READ
+---------
+
+Firstly, the netfs should ask FS-Cache to examine the caches and read the
+contents cached for a particular page of a particular file if present, or else
+allocate space to store the contents if not:
+
+        typedef
+        void (*fscache_rw_complete_t)(struct page *page,
+                                      void *context,
+                                      int error);
+
+        int fscache_read_or_alloc_page(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
+                                       struct page *page,
+                                       fscache_rw_complete_t end_io_func,
+                                       void *context,
+                                       gfp_t gfp);
+
+The cookie argument must specify a cookie for an object that isn't an index,
+the page specified will have the data loaded into it (and is also used to
+specify the page number), and the gfp argument is used to control how any
+memory allocations made are satisfied.
+
+If the cookie indicates the inode is not cached:
+
+ (1) The function will return -ENOBUFS.
+
+Else if there's a copy of the page resident in the cache:
+
+ (1) The mark_pages_cached() cookie operation will be called on that page.
+
+ (2) The function will submit a request to read the data from the cache's
+     backing device directly into the page specified.
+
+ (3) The function will return 0.
+
+ (4) When the read is complete, end_io_func() will be invoked with:
+
+     (*) The netfs data supplied when the cookie was created.
+
+     (*) The page descriptor.
+
+     (*) The context argument passed to the above function.  This will be
+         maintained with the get_context/put_context functions mentioned above.
+
+     (*) An argument that's 0 on success or negative for an error code.
+
+     If an error occurs, it should be assumed that the page contains no usable
+     data.
+
+     end_io_func() will be called in process context if the read is results in
+     an error, but it might be called in interrupt context if the read is
+     successful.
+
+Otherwise, if there's not a copy available in cache, but the cache may be able
+to store the page:
+
+ (1) The mark_pages_cached() cookie operation will be called on that page.
+
+ (2) A block may be reserved in the cache and attached to the object at the
+     appropriate place.
+
+ (3) The function will return -ENODATA.
+
+This function may also return -ENOMEM or -EINTR, in which case it won't have
+read any data from the cache.
+
+
+PAGE ALLOCATE
+-------------
+
+Alternatively, if there's not expected to be any data in the cache for a page
+because the file has been extended, a block can simply be allocated instead:
+
+        int fscache_alloc_page(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
+                               struct page *page,
+                               gfp_t gfp);
+
+This is similar to the fscache_read_or_alloc_page() function, except that it
+never reads from the cache.  It will return 0 if a block has been allocated,
+rather than -ENODATA as the other would.  One or the other must be performed
+before writing to the cache.
+
+The mark_pages_cached() cookie operation will be called on the page if
+successful.
+
+
+PAGE WRITE
+----------
+
+Secondly, if the netfs changes the contents of the page (either due to an
+initial download or if a user performs a write), then the page should be
+written back to the cache:
+
+        int fscache_write_page(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
+                               struct page *page,
+                               gfp_t gfp);
+
+The cookie argument must specify a data file cookie, the page specified should
+contain the data to be written (and is also used to specify the page number),
+and the gfp argument is used to control how any memory allocations made are
+satisfied.
+
+The page must have first been read or allocated successfully and must not have
+been uncached before writing is performed.
+
+If the cookie indicates the inode is not cached then:
+
+ (1) The function will return -ENOBUFS.
+
+Else if space can be allocated in the cache to hold this page:
+
+ (1) PG_fscache_write will be set on the page.
+
+ (2) The function will submit a request to write the data to cache's backing
+     device directly from the page specified.
+
+ (3) The function will return 0.
+
+ (4) When the write is complete PG_fscache_write is cleared on the page and
+     anyone waiting for that bit will be woken up.
+
+Else if there's no space available in the cache, -ENOBUFS will be returned.  It
+is also possible for the PG_fscache_write bit to be cleared when no write took
+place if unforeseen circumstances arose (such as a disk error).
+
+Writing takes place asynchronously.
+
+
+MULTIPLE PAGE READ
+------------------
+
+A facility is provided to read several pages at once, as requested by the
+readpages() address space operation:
+
+        int fscache_read_or_alloc_pages(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
+                                        struct address_space *mapping,
+                                        struct list_head *pages,
+                                        int *nr_pages,
+                                        fscache_rw_complete_t end_io_func,
+                                        void *context,
+                                        gfp_t gfp);
+
+This works in a similar way to fscache_read_or_alloc_page(), except:
+
+ (1) Any page it can retrieve data for is removed from pages and nr_pages and
+     dispatched for reading to the disk.  Reads of adjacent pages on disk may
+     be merged for greater efficiency.
+
+ (2) The mark_pages_cached() cookie operation will be called on several pages
+     at once if they're being read or allocated.
+
+ (3) If there was an general error, then that error will be returned.
+
+     Else if some pages couldn't be allocated or read, then -ENOBUFS will be
+     returned.
+
+     Else if some pages couldn't be read but were allocated, then -ENODATA will
+     be returned.
+
+     Otherwise, if all pages had reads dispatched, then 0 will be returned, the
+     list will be empty and *nr_pages will be 0.
+
+ (4) end_io_func will be called once for each page being read as the reads
+     complete.  It will be called in process context if error != 0, but it may
+     be called in interrupt context if there is no error.
+
+Note that a return of -ENODATA, -ENOBUFS or any other error does not preclude
+some of the pages being read and some being allocated.  Those pages will have
+been marked appropriately and will need uncaching.
+
+
+==============
+PAGE UNCACHING
+==============
+
+To uncache a page, this function should be called:
+
+        void fscache_uncache_page(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
+                                  struct page *page);
+
+This function permits the cache to release any in-memory representation it
+might be holding for this netfs page.  This function must be called once for
+each page on which the read or write page functions above have been called to
+make sure the cache's in-memory tracking information gets torn down.
+
+Note that pages can't be explicitly deleted from the a data file.  The whole
+data file must be retired (see the relinquish cookie function below).
+
+Furthermore, note that this does not cancel the asynchronous read or write
+operation started by the read/alloc and write functions, so the page
+invalidation and release functions must use:
+
+        bool fscache_check_page_write(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
+                                      struct page *page);
+
+to see if a page is being written to the cache, and:
+
+        void fscache_wait_on_page_write(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
+                                        struct page *page);
+
+to wait for it to finish if it is.
+
+
+==========================
+INDEX AND DATA FILE UPDATE
+==========================
+
+To request an update of the index data for an index or other object, the
+following function should be called:
+
+        void fscache_update_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie);
+
+This function will refer back to the netfs_data pointer stored in the cookie by
+the acquisition function to obtain the data to write into each revised index
+entry.  The update method in the parent index definition will be called to
+transfer the data.
+
+Note that partial updates may happen automatically at other times, such as when
+data blocks are added to a data file object.
+
+
+===============================
+MISCELLANEOUS COOKIE OPERATIONS
+===============================
+
+There are a number of operations that can be used to control cookies:
+
+ (*) Cookie pinning:
+
+        int fscache_pin_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie);
+        void fscache_unpin_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie);
+
+     These operations permit data cookies to be pinned into the cache and to
+     have the pinning removed.  They are not permitted on index cookies.
+
+     The pinning function will return 0 if successful, -ENOBUFS in the cookie
+     isn't backed by a cache, -EOPNOTSUPP if the cache doesn't support pinning,
+     -ENOSPC if there isn't enough space to honour the operation, -ENOMEM or
+     -EIO if there's any other problem.
+
+ (*) Data space reservation:
+
+        int fscache_reserve_space(struct fscache_cookie *cookie, loff_t size);
+
+     This permits a netfs to request cache space be reserved to store up to the
+     given amount of a file.  It is permitted to ask for more than the current
+     size of the file to allow for future file expansion.
+
+     If size is given as zero then the reservation will be cancelled.
+
+     The function will return 0 if successful, -ENOBUFS in the cookie isn't
+     backed by a cache, -EOPNOTSUPP if the cache doesn't support reservations,
+     -ENOSPC if there isn't enough space to honour the operation, -ENOMEM or
+     -EIO if there's any other problem.
+
+     Note that this doesn't pin an object in a cache; it can still be culled to
+     make space if it's not in use.
+
+
+=====================
+COOKIE UNREGISTRATION
+=====================
+
+To get rid of a cookie, this function should be called.
+
+        void fscache_relinquish_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
+                                       int retire);
+
+If retire is non-zero, then the object will be marked for recycling, and all
+copies of it will be removed from all active caches in which it is present.
+Not only that but all child objects will also be retired.
+
+If retire is zero, then the object may be available again when next the
+acquisition function is called.  Retirement here will overrule the pinning on a
+cookie.
+
+One very important note - relinquish must NOT be called for a cookie unless all
+the cookies for "child" indices, objects and pages have been relinquished
+first.
+
+
+================================
+INDEX AND DATA FILE INVALIDATION
+================================
+
+There is no direct way to invalidate an index subtree or a data file.  To do
+this, the caller should relinquish and retire the cookie they have, and then
+acquire a new one.
+
+
+===========================
+FS-CACHE SPECIFIC PAGE FLAG
+===========================
+
+FS-Cache makes use of a page flag, PG_private_2, for its own purpose.  This is
+given the alternative name PG_fscache.
+
+PG_fscache is used to indicate that the page is known by the cache, and that
+the cache must be informed if the page is going to go away.  It's an indication
+to the netfs that the cache has an interest in this page, where an interest may
+be a pointer to it, resources allocated or reserved for it, or I/O in progress
+upon it.
+
+The netfs can use this information in methods such as releasepage() to
+determine whether it needs to uncache a page or update it.
+
+Furthermore, if this bit is set, releasepage() and invalidatepage() operations
+will be called on a page to get rid of it, even if PG_private is not set.  This
+allows caching to attempted on a page before read_cache_pages() to be called
+after fscache_read_or_alloc_pages() as the former will try and release pages it
+was given under certain circumstances.
+
+This bit does not overlap with such as PG_private.  This means that FS-Cache
+can be used with a filesystem that uses the block buffering code.
+
+There are a number of operations defined on this flag:
+
+        int PageFsCache(struct page *page);
+        void SetPageFsCache(struct page *page)
+        void ClearPageFsCache(struct page *page)
+        int TestSetPageFsCache(struct page *page)
+        int TestClearPageFsCache(struct page *page)
+
+These functions are bit test, bit set, bit clear, bit test and set and bit
+test and clear operations on PG_fscache.

+             IN-KERNEL CACHE OBJECT REPRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT
+             ====================================================

+REPRESENTATION
+==============
+
+FS-Cache maintains an in-kernel representation of each object that a netfs is
+currently interested in.  Such objects are represented by the fscache_cookie
+struct and are referred to as cookies.
+
+FS-Cache also maintains a separate in-kernel representation of the objects that
+a cache backend is currently actively caching.  Such objects are represented by
+the fscache_object struct.  The cache backends allocate these upon request, and
+are expected to embed them in their own representations.  These are referred to
+as objects.
+
+There is a 1:N relationship between cookies and objects.  A cookie may be
+represented by multiple objects - an index may exist in more than one cache -
+or even by no objects (it may not be cached).
+
+Furthermore, both cookies and objects are hierarchical.  The two hierarchies
+correspond, but the cookies tree is a superset of the union of the object trees
+of multiple caches:
+
+            NETFS INDEX TREE               :      CACHE 1     :      CACHE 2
+                                           :                  :

+
+In the above illustration, ICookie and IObject represent indices and DCookie
+and DObject represent data storage objects.  Indices may have representation in
+multiple caches, but currently, non-index objects may not.  Objects of any type
+may also be entirely unrepresented.
+
+As far as the netfs API goes, the netfs is only actually permitted to see
+pointers to the cookies.  The cookies themselves and any objects attached to
+those cookies are hidden from it.
+
+
+===============================
+OBJECT MANAGEMENT STATE MACHINE
+===============================
+
+Within FS-Cache, each active object is managed by its own individual state
+machine.  The state for an object is kept in the fscache_object struct, in
+object->state.  A cookie may point to a set of objects that are in different
+states.
+
+Each state has an action associated with it that is invoked when the machine
+wakes up in that state.  There are four logical sets of states:
+
+ (1) Preparation: states that wait for the parent objects to become ready.  The
+     representations are hierarchical, and it is expected that an object must
+     be created or accessed with respect to its parent object.
+
+ (2) Initialisation: states that perform lookups in the cache and validate
+     what's found and that create on disk any missing metadata.
+
+ (3) Normal running: states that allow netfs operations on objects to proceed
+     and that update the state of objects.
+
+ (4) Termination: states that detach objects from their netfs cookies, that
+     delete objects from disk, that handle disk and system errors and that free
+     up in-memory resources.
+
+
+In most cases, transitioning between states is in response to signalled events.
+When a state has finished processing, it will usually set the mask of events in
+which it is interested (object->event_mask) and relinquish the worker thread.
+Then when an event is raised (by calling fscache_raise_event()), if the event
+is not masked, the object will be queued for processing (by calling
+fscache_enqueue_object()).
+
+
+PROVISION OF CPU TIME
+---------------------
+
+The work to be done by the various states is given CPU time by the threads of
+the slow work facility (see Documentation/slow-work.txt).  This is used in
+preference to the workqueue facility because:
+
+ (1) Threads may be completely occupied for very long periods of time by a
+     particular work item.  These state actions may be doing sequences of
+     synchronous, journalled disk accesses (lookup, mkdir, create, setxattr,
+     getxattr, truncate, unlink, rmdir, rename).
+
+ (2) Threads may do little actual work, but may rather spend a lot of time
+     sleeping on I/O.  This means that single-threaded and 1-per-CPU-threaded
+     workqueues don't necessarily have the right numbers of threads.
+
+
+LOCKING SIMPLIFICATION
+----------------------
+
+Because only one worker thread may be operating on any particular object's
+state machine at once, this simplifies the locking, particularly with respect
+to disconnecting the netfs's representation of a cache object (fscache_cookie)
+from the cache backend's representation (fscache_object) - which may be
+requested from either end.
+
+
+=================
+THE SET OF STATES
+=================
+
+The object state machine has a set of states that it can be in.  There are
+preparation states in which the object sets itself up and waits for its parent
+object to transit to a state that allows access to its children:
+
+ (1) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_INIT.
+
+     Initialise the object and wait for the parent object to become active.  In
+     the cache, it is expected that it will not be possible to look an object
+     up from the parent object, until that parent object itself has been looked
+     up.
+
+There are initialisation states in which the object sets itself up and accesses
+disk for the object metadata:
+
+ (2) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_LOOKING_UP.
+
+     Look up the object on disk, using the parent as a starting point.
+     FS-Cache expects the cache backend to probe the cache to see whether this
+     object is represented there, and if it is, to see if it's valid (coherency
+     management).
+
+     The cache should call fscache_object_lookup_negative() to indicate lookup
+     failure for whatever reason, and should call fscache_obtained_object() to
+     indicate success.
+
+     At the completion of lookup, FS-Cache will let the netfs go ahead with
+     read operations, no matter whether the file is yet cached.  If not yet
+     cached, read operations will be immediately rejected with ENODATA until
+     the first known page is uncached - as to that point there can be no data
+     to be read out of the cache for that file that isn't currently also held
+     in the pagecache.
+
+ (3) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_CREATING.
+
+     Create an object on disk, using the parent as a starting point.  This
+     happens if the lookup failed to find the object, or if the object's
+     coherency data indicated what's on disk is out of date.  In this state,
+     FS-Cache expects the cache to create
+
+     The cache should call fscache_obtained_object() if creation completes
+     successfully, fscache_object_lookup_negative() otherwise.
+
+     At the completion of creation, FS-Cache will start processing write
+     operations the netfs has queued for an object.  If creation failed, the
+     write ops will be transparently discarded, and nothing recorded in the
+     cache.
+
+There are some normal running states in which the object spends its time
+servicing netfs requests:
+
+ (4) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_AVAILABLE.
+
+     A transient state in which pending operations are started, child objects
+     are permitted to advance from FSCACHE_OBJECT_INIT state, and temporary
+     lookup data is freed.
+
+ (5) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_ACTIVE.
+
+     The normal running state.  In this state, requests the netfs makes will be
+     passed on to the cache.
+
+ (6) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_UPDATING.
+
+     The state machine comes here to update the object in the cache from the
+     netfs's records.  This involves updating the auxiliary data that is used
+     to maintain coherency.
+
+And there are terminal states in which an object cleans itself up, deallocates
+memory and potentially deletes stuff from disk:
+
+ (7) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_LC_DYING.
+
+     The object comes here if it is dying because of a lookup or creation
+     error.  This would be due to a disk error or system error of some sort.
+     Temporary data is cleaned up, and the parent is released.
+
+ (8) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_DYING.
+
+     The object comes here if it is dying due to an error, because its parent
+     cookie has been relinquished by the netfs or because the cache is being
+     withdrawn.
+
+     Any child objects waiting on this one are given CPU time so that they too
+     can destroy themselves.  This object waits for all its children to go away
+     before advancing to the next state.
+
+ (9) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_ABORT_INIT.
+
+     The object comes to this state if it was waiting on its parent in
+     FSCACHE_OBJECT_INIT, but its parent died.  The object will destroy itself
+     so that the parent may proceed from the FSCACHE_OBJECT_DYING state.
+
+(10) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_RELEASING.
+(11) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_RECYCLING.
+
+     The object comes to one of these two states when dying once it is rid of
+     all its children, if it is dying because the netfs relinquished its
+     cookie.  In the first state, the cached data is expected to persist, and
+     in the second it will be deleted.
+
+(12) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_WITHDRAWING.
+
+     The object transits to this state if the cache decides it wants to
+     withdraw the object from service, perhaps to make space, but also due to
+     error or just because the whole cache is being withdrawn.
+
+(13) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_DEAD.
+
+     The object transits to this state when the in-memory object record is
+     ready to be deleted.  The object processor shouldn't ever see an object in
+     this state.
+
+
+THE SET OF EVENTS
+-----------------
+
+There are a number of events that can be raised to an object state machine:
+
+ (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_UPDATE
+
+     The netfs requested that an object be updated.  The state machine will ask
+     the cache backend to update the object, and the cache backend will ask the
+     netfs for details of the change through its cookie definition ops.
+
+ (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_CLEARED
+
+     This is signalled in two circumstances:
+
+     (a) when an object's last child object is dropped and
+
+     (b) when the last operation outstanding on an object is completed.
+
+     This is used to proceed from the dying state.
+
+ (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_ERROR
+
+     This is signalled when an I/O error occurs during the processing of some
+     object.
+
+ (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_RELEASE
+ (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_RETIRE
+
+     These are signalled when the netfs relinquishes a cookie it was using.
+     The event selected depends on whether the netfs asks for the backing
+     object to be retired (deleted) or retained.
+
+ (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_WITHDRAW
+
+     This is signalled when the cache backend wants to withdraw an object.
+     This means that the object will have to be detached from the netfs's

+========
+OVERVIEW
+========
+
+FS-Cache has an asynchronous operations handling facility that it uses for its
+data storage and retrieval routines.  Its operations are represented by
+fscache_operation structs, though these are usually embedded into some other
+structure.
+
+This facility is available to and expected to be be used by the cache backends,
+and FS-Cache will create operations and pass them off to the appropriate cache
+backend for completion.
+
+To make use of this facility, <linux/fscache-cache.h> should be #included.
+
+
+===============================
+OPERATION RECORD INITIALISATION
+===============================
+
+An operation is recorded in an fscache_operation struct:
+
+        struct fscache_operation {
+                union {
+                        struct work_struct fast_work;
+                        struct slow_work slow_work;
+                };
+                unsigned long           flags;
+                fscache_operation_processor_t processor;
+                ...
+        };
+
+Someone wanting to issue an operation should allocate something with this
+struct embedded in it.  They should initialise it by calling:
+
+        void fscache_operation_init(struct fscache_operation *op,
+                                    fscache_operation_release_t release);
+
+with the operation to be initialised and the release function to use.
+
+The op->flags parameter should be set to indicate the CPU time provision and
+the exclusivity (see the Parameters section).
+
+The op->fast_work, op->slow_work and op->processor flags should be set as
+appropriate for the CPU time provision (see the Parameters section).
+
+FSCACHE_OP_WAITING may be set in op->flags prior to each submission of the
+operation and waited for afterwards.
+
+
+==========
+PARAMETERS
+==========
+
+There are a number of parameters that can be set in the operation record's flag
+parameter.  There are three options for the provision of CPU time in these
+operations:
+
+ (1) The operation may be done synchronously (FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD).  A thread
+     may decide it wants to handle an operation itself without deferring it to
+     another thread.
+
+     This is, for example, used in read operations for calling readpages() on
+     the backing filesystem in CacheFiles.  Although readpages() does an
+     asynchronous data fetch, the determination of whether pages exist is done
+     synchronously - and the netfs does not proceed until this has been
+     determined.
+
+     If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags
+     before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it
+     to be cleared before proceeding:
+
+                wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING,
+                            fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
+
+
+ (2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it
+     will be given to keventd to process.  Such an operation is not permitted
+     to sleep on I/O.
+
+     This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs
+     page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in.
+
+     If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be
+     initialised before submitting the operation:
+
+                INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work);
+
+
+ (3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it
+     will be given to the slow work facility to process.  Such an operation is
+     permitted to sleep on I/O.
+
+     This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of
+     pages that have just been fetched from a remote server.
+
+     If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be
+     initialised before submitting the operation:
+
+                fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor)
+
+
+Furthermore, operations may be one of two types:
+
+ (1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE).  Operations of this type may not run in
+     conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon.
+
+     An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file
+     being written to may need truncation.
+
+ (2) Shareable.  Operations of this type may be running simultaneously.  It's
+     up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other
+     operations running at the same time.
+
+
+=========
+PROCEDURE
+=========
+
+Operations are used through the following procedure:
+
+ (1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it
+     itself.  Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the
+     generic op embedded within.
+
+ (2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using
+     one of the following two functions:
+
+        int fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object,
+                              struct fscache_operation *op);
+
+        int fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object,
+                                        struct fscache_operation *op);
+
+     The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the
+     second to submit exclusive ones.  The caller must still set the
+     FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag.
+
+     If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified
+     object and return 0.  -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is
+     permanently unavailable.
+
+     The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still
+     undergoing lookup or creation.  The operation will also be deferred if an
+     operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object.
+
+     If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to
+     it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to:
+
+        void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op);
+
+ (3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the
+     operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor
+     FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if
+     necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting).
+
+     When it has finished doing its processing, it should call
+     fscache_put_operation() on it.
+
+ (4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other
+     exclusive ops conflicting until it is released.  The operation can be
+     enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the
+     CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg:
+
+        op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE;
+        op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST;
+
+     and calling:
+
+        void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op)
+
+     This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread
+     pools.
+
+
+=====================
+ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK
+=====================
+
+When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the
+processor method with a pointer to the operation.  This should then get at the
+container struct by using container_of():
+
+        static void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op)
+        {
+                struct fscache_storage *op =
+                        container_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op);
+        ...
+        }
+
+The caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke
+fscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns.  The processor
+function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra
+references.

+===============================================================================
+WHAT IS EXOFS?
+===============================================================================
+
+exofs is a file system that uses an OSD and exports the API of a normal Linux
+file system. Users access exofs like any other local file system, and exofs
+will in turn issue commands to the local OSD initiator.
+
+OSD is a new T10 command set that views storage devices not as a large/flat
+array of sectors but as a container of objects, each having a length, quota,
+time attributes and more. Each object is addressed by a 64bit ID, and is
+contained in a 64bit ID partition. 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.
+
+===============================================================================
+ENVIRONMENT
+===============================================================================
+
+To use this file system, you need to have an object store to run it on.  You
+may download a target from:
+http://open-osd.org
+
+See Documentation/scsi/osd.txt for how to setup a working osd environment.
+
+===============================================================================
+USAGE
+===============================================================================
+
+1. Download and compile exofs and open-osd initiator:
+  You need an external Kernel source tree or kernel headers from your
+  distribution. (anything based on 2.6.26 or later).
+
+  a. download open-osd including exofs source using:
+     [parent-directory]$ git clone git://git.open-osd.org/open-osd.git
+
+  b. Build the library module like this:
+     [parent-directory]$ make -C KSRC=$(KER_DIR) open-osd
+
+     This will build both the open-osd initiator as well as the exofs kernel
+     module. Use whatever parameters you compiled your Kernel with and
+     $(KER_DIR) above pointing to the Kernel you compile against. See the file
+     open-osd/top-level-Makefile for an example.
+
+2. Get the OSD initiator and target set up properly, and login to the target.
+  See Documentation/scsi/osd.txt for farther instructions. Also see ./do-osd
+  for example script that does all these steps.
+
+3. Insmod the exofs.ko module:
+   [exofs]$ insmod exofs.ko
+
+4. Make sure the directory where you want to mount exists. If not, create it.
+   (For example, mkdir /mnt/exofs)
+
+5. At first run you will need to invoke the mkfs.exofs application
+
+   As an example, this will create the file system on:
+   /dev/osd0 partition ID 65536
+
+   mkfs.exofs --pid=65536 --format /dev/osd0
+
+   The --format is optional if not specified no OSD_FORMAT will be
+   preformed and a clean file system will be created in the specified pid,
+   in the available space of the target. (Use --format=size_in_meg to limit
+   the total LUN space available)
+
+   If pid already exist it will be deleted and a new one will be created in it's
+   place. Be careful.
+
+   An exofs lives inside a single OSD partition. You can create multiple exofs
+   filesystems on the same device using multiple pids.
+
+   (run mkfs.exofs without any parameters for usage help message)
+
+6. Mount the file system.
+
+   For example, to mount /dev/osd0, partition ID 0x10000 on /mnt/exofs:
+
+        mount -t exofs -o pid=65536 /dev/osd0 /mnt/exofs/
+
+7. For reference (See do-exofs example script):
+        do-exofs start - an example of how to perform the above steps.
+        do-exofs stop -  an example of how to unmount the file system.
+        do-exofs format - an example of how to format and mkfs a new exofs.
+
+8. Extra compilation flags (uncomment in fs/exofs/Kbuild):
+        CONFIG_EXOFS_DEBUG - for debug messages and extra checks.
+
+===============================================================================
+exofs mount options
+===============================================================================
+Similar to any mount command:
+        mount -t exofs -o exofs_options /dev/osdX mount_exofs_directory
+
+Where:
+    -t exofs: specifies the exofs file system
+
+    /dev/osdX: X is a decimal number. /dev/osdX was created after a successful
+               login into an OSD target.
+
+    mount_exofs_directory: The directory to mount the file system on
+
+    exofs specific options: Options are separated by commas (,)
+                pid=<integer> - The partition number to mount/create as
+                                container of the filesystem.
+                                This option is mandatory
+                to=<integer>  - Timeout in ticks for a single command
+                                default is (60 * HZ) [for debugging only]
+
+===============================================================================
+DESIGN
+===============================================================================
+
+* The file system control block (AKA on-disk superblock) resides in an object
+  with a special ID (defined in common.h).
+  Information included in the file system control block is used to fill the
+  in-memory superblock structure at mount time. This object is created before
+  the file system is used by mkexofs.c It contains information such as:
+        - The file system's magic number
+        - The next inode number to be allocated
+
+* Each file resides in its own object and contains the data (and it will be
+  possible to extend the file over multiple objects, though this has not been
+  implemented yet).
+
+* A directory is treated as a file, and essentially contains a list of <file
+  name, inode #> pairs for files that are found in that directory. The object
+  IDs correspond to the files' inode numbers and will be allocated according to
+  a bitmap (stored in a separate object). Now they are allocated using a
+  counter.
+
+* Each file's control block (AKA on-disk inode) is stored in its object's
+  attributes. This applies to both regular files and other types (directories,
+  device files, symlinks, etc.).
+
+* Credentials are generated per object (inode and superblock) when they is
+  created in memory (read off disk or created). The credential works for all
+  operations and is used as long as the object remains in memory.
+
+* Async OSD operations are used whenever possible, but the target may execute
+  them out of order. The operations that concern us are create, delete,
+  readpage, writepage, update_inode, and truncate. The following pairs of
+  operations should execute in the order written, and we need to prevent them
+  from executing in reverse order:
+        - The following are handled with the OBJ_CREATED and OBJ_2BCREATED
+          flags. OBJ_CREATED is set when we know the object exists on the OSD -
+          in create's callback function, and when we successfully do a read_inode.
+          OBJ_2BCREATED is set in the beginning of the create function, so we
+          know that we should wait.
+                - create/delete: delete should wait until the object is created
+                  on the OSD.
+                - create/readpage: readpage should be able to return a page
+                  full of zeroes in this case. If there was a write already
+                  en-route (i.e. create, writepage, readpage) then the page
+                  would be locked, and so it would really be the same as
+                  create/writepage.
+                - create/writepage: if writepage is called for a sync write, it
+                  should wait until the object is created on the OSD.
+                  Otherwise, it should just return.
+                - create/truncate: truncate should wait until the object is
+                  created on the OSD.
+                - create/update_inode: update_inode should wait until the
+                  object is created on the OSD.
+        - Handled by VFS locks:
+                - readpage/delete: shouldn't happen because of page lock.
+                - writepage/delete: shouldn't happen because of page lock.
+                - readpage/writepage: shouldn't happen because of page lock.

+auto_da_alloc(*)        Many broken applications don't use fsync() when 
+noauto_da_alloc         replacing existing files via patterns such as
+                        fd = open("foo.new")/write(fd,..)/close(fd)/
+                        rename("foo.new", "foo"), or worse yet,
+                        fd = open("foo", O_TRUNC)/write(fd,..)/close(fd).
+                        If auto_da_alloc is enabled, ext4 will detect
+                        the replace-via-rename and replace-via-truncate
+                        patterns and force that any delayed allocation
+                        blocks are allocated such that at the next
+                        journal commit, in the default data=ordered
+                        mode, the data blocks of the new file are forced
+                        to disk before the rename() operation is
+                        commited.  This provides roughly the same level
+                        of guarantees as ext3, and avoids the
+                        "zero-length" problem that can happen when a
+                        system crashes before the delayed allocation
+                        blocks are forced to disk.

 This chapter  is  heavily  based  on the documentation included in the pre 2.2
 kernels, and became part of it in version 2.2.1 of the Linux kernel.
 
-2.1 /proc/sys/fs - File system data
------------------------------------
-
-This subdirectory  contains  specific  file system, file handle, inode, dentry
-and quota information.
-
-Currently, these files are in /proc/sys/fs:
-
-dentry-state
-------------
-
-Status of  the  directory  cache.  Since  directory  entries  are  dynamically
-allocated and  deallocated,  this  file indicates the current status. It holds
-six values, in which the last two are not used and are always zero. The others
-are listed in table 2-1.
-
-
-Table 2-1: Status files of the directory cache 
-..............................................................................
- File       Content                                                            
- nr_dentry  Almost always zero                                                 
- nr_unused  Number of unused cache entries                                     
- age_limit  
-            in seconds after the entry may be reclaimed, when memory is short 
- want_pages internally                                                         
-..............................................................................
-
-dquot-nr and dquot-max
-----------------------
-
-The file dquot-max shows the maximum number of cached disk quota entries.
-
-The file  dquot-nr  shows  the  number of allocated disk quota entries and the
-number of free disk quota entries.
-
-If the number of available cached disk quotas is very low and you have a large
-number of simultaneous system users, you might want to raise the limit.
-
-file-nr and file-max
---------------------
-
-The kernel  allocates file handles dynamically, but doesn't free them again at
-this time.
-
-The value  in  file-max  denotes  the  maximum number of file handles that the
-Linux kernel will allocate. When you get a lot of error messages about running
-out of  file handles, you might want to raise this limit. The default value is
-10% of  RAM in kilobytes.  To  change it, just  write the new number  into the
-file:
-
-  # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 
-  4096 
-  # echo 8192 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max 
-  # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 
-  8192 
-
-
-This method  of  revision  is  useful  for  all customizable parameters of the
-kernel - simply echo the new value to the corresponding file.
-
-Historically, the three values in file-nr denoted the number of allocated file
-handles,  the number of  allocated but  unused file  handles, and  the maximum
-number of file handles. Linux 2.6 always  reports 0 as the number of free file
-handles -- this  is not an error,  it just means that the  number of allocated
-file handles exactly matches the number of used file handles.
-
-Attempts to  allocate more  file descriptors than  file-max are  reported with
-printk, look for "VFS: file-max limit <number> reached".
-
-inode-state and inode-nr
-------------------------
-
-The file inode-nr contains the first two items from inode-state, so we'll skip
-to that file...
-
-inode-state contains  two  actual numbers and five dummy values. The numbers
-are nr_inodes and nr_free_inodes (in order of appearance).
-
-nr_inodes
-~~~~~~~~~
-
-Denotes the  number  of  inodes the system has allocated. This number will
-grow and shrink dynamically.
-
-nr_open
--------
-
-Denotes the maximum number of file-handles a process can
-allocate. Default value is 1024*1024 (1048576) which should be
-enough for most machines. Actual limit depends on RLIMIT_NOFILE
-resource limit.
-
-nr_free_inodes
---------------
-
-Represents the  number of free inodes. Ie. The number of inuse inodes is
-(nr_inodes - nr_free_inodes).
-
-aio-nr and aio-max-nr
----------------------
-
-aio-nr is the running total of the number of events specified on the
-io_setup system call for all currently active aio contexts.  If aio-nr
-reaches aio-max-nr then io_setup will fail with EAGAIN.  Note that
-raising aio-max-nr does not result in the pre-allocation or re-sizing
-of any kernel data structures.
-
-2.2 /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc - Miscellaneous binary formats
------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Besides these  files, there is the subdirectory /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc. This
-handles the kernel support for miscellaneous binary formats.
-
-Binfmt_misc provides  the ability to register additional binary formats to the
-Kernel without  compiling  an additional module/kernel. Therefore, binfmt_misc
-needs to  know magic numbers at the beginning or the filename extension of the
-binary.
-
-It works by maintaining a linked list of structs that contain a description of
-a binary  format,  including  a  magic  with size (or the filename extension),
-offset and  mask,  and  the  interpreter name. On request it invokes the given
-interpreter with  the  original  program  as  argument,  as  binfmt_java  and
-binfmt_em86 and  binfmt_mz  do.  Since binfmt_misc does not define any default
-binary-formats, you have to register an additional binary-format.
-
-There are two general files in binfmt_misc and one file per registered format.
-The two general files are register and status.
-
-Registering a new binary format
--------------------------------
-
-To register a new binary format you have to issue the command
-
-  echo :name:type:offset:magic:mask:interpreter: > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register 
-
-
-
-with appropriate  name (the name for the /proc-dir entry), offset (defaults to
-0, if  omitted),  magic, mask (which can be omitted, defaults to all 0xff) and
-last but  not  least,  the  interpreter that is to be invoked (for example and
-testing /bin/echo).  Type  can be M for usual magic matching or E for filename
-extension matching (give extension in place of magic).
-
-Check or reset the status of the binary format handler
-------------------------------------------------------
-
-If you  do a cat on the file /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status, you will get the
-current status (enabled/disabled) of binfmt_misc. Change the status by echoing
-0 (disables)  or  1  (enables)  or  -1  (caution:  this  clears all previously
-registered binary  formats)  to status. For example echo 0 > status to disable
-binfmt_misc (temporarily).
-
-Status of a single handler
---------------------------
-
-Each registered  handler has an entry in /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc. These files
-perform the  same function as status, but their scope is limited to the actual
-binary format.  By  cating this file, you also receive all related information
-about the interpreter/magic of the binfmt.
-
-Example usage of binfmt_misc (emulate binfmt_java)
---------------------------------------------------
-
-  cd /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc  
-  echo ':Java:M::\xca\xfe\xba\xbe::/usr/local/java/bin/javawrapper:' > register  
-  echo ':HTML:E::html::/usr/local/java/bin/appletviewer:' > register  
-  echo ':Applet:M::<!--applet::/usr/local/java/bin/appletviewer:' > register 
-  echo ':DEXE:M::\x0eDEX::/usr/bin/dosexec:' > register 
-
-
-These four  lines  add  support  for  Java  executables and Java applets (like
-binfmt_java, additionally  recognizing the .html extension with no need to put
-<!--applet> to  every  applet  file).  You  have  to  install  the JDK and the
-shell-script /usr/local/java/bin/javawrapper  too.  It  works  around  the
-brokenness of  the Java filename handling. To add a Java binary, just create a
-link to the class-file somewhere in the path.
-
-2.3 /proc/sys/kernel - general kernel parameters
-------------------------------------------------
-
-This directory  reflects  general  kernel  behaviors. As I've said before, the
-contents depend  on  your  configuration.  Here you'll find the most important
-files, along with descriptions of what they mean and how to use them.
-
-acct
-----
-
-The file contains three values; highwater, lowwater, and frequency.
-
-It exists  only  when  BSD-style  process  accounting is enabled. These values
-control its behavior. If the free space on the file system where the log lives
-goes below  lowwater  percentage,  accounting  suspends.  If  it  goes  above
-highwater percentage,  accounting  resumes. Frequency determines how often you
-check the amount of free space (value is in seconds). Default settings are: 4,
-2, and  30.  That is, suspend accounting if there is less than 2 percent free;
-resume it  if we have a value of 3 or more percent; consider information about
-the amount of free space valid for 30 seconds
-
-ctrl-alt-del
-------------
-
-When the value in this file is 0, ctrl-alt-del is trapped and sent to the init
-program to  handle a graceful restart. However, when the value is greater that
-zero, Linux's  reaction  to  this key combination will be an immediate reboot,
-without syncing its dirty buffers.
-
-[NOTE]
-    When a  program  (like  dosemu)  has  the  keyboard  in  raw  mode,  the
-    ctrl-alt-del is  intercepted  by  the  program  before it ever reaches the
-    kernel tty  layer,  and  it is up to the program to decide what to do with
-    it.
-
-domainname and hostname
------------------------
-
-These files  can  be controlled to set the NIS domainname and hostname of your
-box. For the classic darkstar.frop.org a simple:
-
-  # echo "darkstar" > /proc/sys/kernel/hostname 
-  # echo "frop.org" > /proc/sys/kernel/domainname 
-
-
-would suffice to set your hostname and NIS domainname.
-
-osrelease, ostype and version
------------------------------
-
-The names make it pretty obvious what these fields contain:
-
-  > cat /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease 
-  2.2.12 
-   
-  > cat /proc/sys/kernel/ostype 
-  Linux 
-   
-  > cat /proc/sys/kernel/version 
-  #4 Fri Oct 1 12:41:14 PDT 1999 
-
-
-The files  osrelease and ostype should be clear enough. Version needs a little
-more clarification.  The  #4 means that this is the 4th kernel built from this
-source base and the date after it indicates the time the kernel was built. The
-only way to tune these values is to rebuild the kernel.
-
-panic
------
-
-The value  in  this  file  represents  the  number of seconds the kernel waits
-before rebooting  on  a  panic.  When  you  use  the  software  watchdog,  the
-recommended setting  is  60. If set to 0, the auto reboot after a kernel panic
-is disabled, which is the default setting.
-
-printk
-------
-
-The four values in printk denote
-* console_loglevel,
-* default_message_loglevel,
-* minimum_console_loglevel and
-* default_console_loglevel
-respectively.
-
-These values  influence  printk()  behavior  when  printing  or  logging error
-messages, which  come  from  inside  the  kernel.  See  syslog(2)  for  more
-information on the different log levels.
-
-console_loglevel
-----------------
-
-Messages with a higher priority than this will be printed to the console.
-
-default_message_level
----------------------
-
-Messages without an explicit priority will be printed with this priority.
-
-minimum_console_loglevel
-------------------------
-
-Minimum (highest) value to which the console_loglevel can be set.
-
-default_console_loglevel
-------------------------
-
-Default value for console_loglevel.
-
-sg-big-buff
------------
-
-This file  shows  the size of the generic SCSI (sg) buffer. At this point, you
-can't tune  it  yet,  but  you  can  change  it  at  compile  time  by editing
-include/scsi/sg.h and changing the value of SG_BIG_BUFF.
-
-If you use a scanner with SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) you might want to set
-this to a higher value. Refer to the SANE documentation on this issue.
-
-modprobe
---------
-
-The location  where  the  modprobe  binary  is  located.  The kernel uses this
-program to load modules on demand.
-
-unknown_nmi_panic
------------------
-
-The value in this file affects behavior of handling NMI. When the value is
-non-zero, unknown NMI is trapped and then panic occurs. At that time, kernel
-debugging information is displayed on console.
-
-NMI switch that most IA32 servers have fires unknown NMI up, for example.
-If a system hangs up, try pressing the NMI switch.
-
-panic_on_unrecovered_nmi
-------------------------
-
-The default Linux behaviour on an NMI of either memory or unknown is to continue
-operation. For many environments such as scientific computing it is preferable
-that the box is taken out and the error dealt with than an uncorrected
-parity/ECC error get propogated.
-
-A small number of systems do generate NMI's for bizarre random reasons such as
-power management so the default is off. That sysctl works like the existing
-panic controls already in that directory.
-
-nmi_watchdog
-------------
-
-Enables/Disables the NMI watchdog on x86 systems.  When the value is non-zero
-the NMI watchdog is enabled and will continuously test all online cpus to
-determine whether or not they are still functioning properly. Currently,
-passing "nmi_watchdog=" parameter at boot time is required for this function
-to work.
-
-If LAPIC NMI watchdog method is in use (nmi_watchdog=2 kernel parameter), the
-NMI watchdog shares registers with oprofile. By disabling the NMI watchdog,
-oprofile may have more registers to utilize.
-
-msgmni
-------
-
-Maximum number of message queue ids on the system.
-This value scales to the amount of lowmem. It is automatically recomputed
-upon memory add/remove or ipc namespace creation/removal.
-When a value is written into this file, msgmni's value becomes fixed, i.e. it
-is not recomputed anymore when one of the above events occurs.
-Use auto_msgmni to change this behavior.
-
-auto_msgmni
------------
-
-Enables/Disables automatic recomputing of msgmni upon memory add/remove or
-upon ipc namespace creation/removal (see the msgmni description above).
-Echoing "1" into this file enables msgmni automatic recomputing.
-Echoing "0" turns it off.
-auto_msgmni default value is 1.
-
-
-2.4 /proc/sys/vm - The virtual memory subsystem
------------------------------------------------
-
-Please see: Documentation/sysctls/vm.txt for a description of these
+Please see: Documentation/sysctls/ directory for descriptions of these
 entries.
 
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Summary
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Certain aspects  of  kernel  behavior  can be modified at runtime, without the
+need to  recompile  the kernel, or even to reboot the system. The files in the
+/proc/sys tree  can  not only be read, but also modified. You can use the echo
+command to write value into these files, thereby changing the default settings
+of the kernel.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
-2.5 /proc/sys/dev - Device specific parameters
-----------------------------------------------
-
-Currently there is only support for CDROM drives, and for those, there is only
-one read-only  file containing information about the CD-ROM drives attached to
-the system:
-
-  >cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info 
-  CD-ROM information, Id: cdrom.c 2.55 1999/04/25 
-   
-  drive name:             sr0     hdb 
-  drive speed:            32      40 
-  drive # of slots:       1       0 
-  Can close tray:         1       1 
-  Can open tray:          1       1 
-  Can lock tray:          1       1 
-  Can change speed:       1       1 
-  Can select disk:        0       1 
-  Can read multisession:  1       1 
-  Can read MCN:           1       1 
-  Reports media changed:  1       1 
-  Can play audio:         1       1 
-
-
-You see two drives, sr0 and hdb, along with a list of their features.
-
-2.6 /proc/sys/sunrpc - Remote procedure calls
----------------------------------------------
-
-This directory  contains four files, which enable or disable debugging for the
-RPC functions NFS, NFS-daemon, RPC and NLM. The default values are 0. They can
-be set to one to turn debugging on. (The default value is 0 for each)
-
-2.7 /proc/sys/net - Networking stuff
-------------------------------------
-
-The interface  to  the  networking  parts  of  the  kernel  is  located  in
-/proc/sys/net. Table  2-3  shows all possible subdirectories. You may see only
-some of them, depending on your kernel's configuration.
-
-

-parameters for  those  protocols.  In  this  section  we'll  discuss  the
-subdirectories printed  in  bold letters in the table above. As default values
-are suitable for most needs, there is no need to change these values.
-
-/proc/sys/net/core - Network core options
------------------------------------------
-
-rmem_default
-------------
-
-The default setting of the socket receive buffer in bytes.
-
-rmem_max
---------
-
-The maximum receive socket buffer size in bytes.
-
-wmem_default
-------------
-
-The default setting (in bytes) of the socket send buffer.
-
-wmem_max
---------
-
-The maximum send socket buffer size in bytes.
-
-message_burst and message_cost
-------------------------------
-
-These parameters  are used to limit the warning messages written to the kernel
-log from  the  networking  code.  They  enforce  a  rate  limit  to  make  a
-denial-of-service attack  impossible. A higher message_cost factor, results in
-fewer messages that will be written. Message_burst controls when messages will
-be dropped.  The  default  settings  limit  warning messages to one every five
-seconds.
-
-warnings
---------
-
-This controls console messages from the networking stack that can occur because
-of problems on the network like duplicate address or bad checksums. Normally,
-this should be enabled, but if the problem persists the messages can be
-disabled.
-
-netdev_budget
--------------
-
-Maximum number of packets taken from all interfaces in one polling cycle (NAPI
-poll). In one polling cycle interfaces which are registered to polling are
-probed in a round-robin manner. The limit of packets in one such probe can be
-set per-device via sysfs class/net/<device>/weight .
-
-netdev_max_backlog
-------------------
-
-Maximum number  of  packets,  queued  on  the  INPUT  side, when the interface
-receives packets faster than kernel can process them.
-
-optmem_max
-----------
-
-Maximum ancillary buffer size allowed per socket. Ancillary data is a sequence
-of struct cmsghdr structures with appended data.
-
-/proc/sys/net/unix - Parameters for Unix domain sockets
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-There are  only  two  files  in this subdirectory. They control the delays for
-deleting and destroying socket descriptors.
-
-2.8 /proc/sys/net/ipv4 - IPV4 settings
---------------------------------------
-
-IP version  4  is  still the most used protocol in Unix networking. It will be
-replaced by  IP version 6 in the next couple of years, but for the moment it's
-the de  facto  standard  for  the  internet  and  is  used  in most networking
-environments around  the  world.  Because  of the importance of this protocol,
-we'll have a deeper look into the subtree controlling the behavior of the IPv4
-subsystem of the Linux kernel.
-
-Let's start with the entries in /proc/sys/net/ipv4.
-
-ICMP settings
--------------
-
-icmp_echo_ignore_all and icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts
-----------------------------------------------------
-
-Turn on (1) or off (0), if the kernel should ignore all ICMP ECHO requests, or
-just those to broadcast and multicast addresses.
-
-Please note that if you accept ICMP echo requests with a broadcast/multi\-cast
-destination address  your  network  may  be  used as an exploder for denial of
-service packet flooding attacks to other hosts.
-
-icmp_destunreach_rate, icmp_echoreply_rate, icmp_paramprob_rate and icmp_timeexeed_rate
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Sets limits  for  sending  ICMP  packets  to specific targets. A value of zero
-disables all  limiting.  Any  positive  value sets the maximum package rate in
-hundredth of a second (on Intel systems).
-
-IP settings
------------
-
-ip_autoconfig
--------------
-
-This file contains the number one if the host received its IP configuration by
-RARP, BOOTP, DHCP or a similar mechanism. Otherwise it is zero.
-
-ip_default_ttl
---------------
-
-TTL (Time  To  Live) for IPv4 interfaces. This is simply the maximum number of
-hops a packet may travel.
-
-ip_dynaddr
-----------
-
-Enable dynamic  socket  address rewriting on interface address change. This is
-useful for dialup interface with changing IP addresses.
-
-ip_forward
-----------
-
-Enable or  disable forwarding of IP packages between interfaces. Changing this
-value resets  all other parameters to their default values. They differ if the
-kernel is configured as host or router.
-
-ip_local_port_range
--------------------
-
-Range of  ports  used  by  TCP  and UDP to choose the local port. Contains two
-numbers, the  first  number  is the lowest port, the second number the highest
-local port.  Default  is  1024-4999.  Should  be  changed  to  32768-61000 for
-high-usage systems.
-
-ip_no_pmtu_disc
----------------
-
-Global switch  to  turn  path  MTU  discovery off. It can also be set on a per
-socket basis by the applications or on a per route basis.
-
-ip_masq_debug
--------------
-
-Enable/disable debugging of IP masquerading.
-
-IP fragmentation settings
--------------------------
-
-ipfrag_high_trash and ipfrag_low_trash
---------------------------------------
-
-Maximum memory  used to reassemble IP fragments. When ipfrag_high_thresh bytes
-of memory  is  allocated  for  this  purpose,  the  fragment handler will toss
-packets until ipfrag_low_thresh is reached.
-
-ipfrag_time
------------
-
-Time in seconds to keep an IP fragment in memory.
-
-TCP settings
-------------
-
-tcp_ecn
--------
-
-This file controls the use of the ECN bit in the IPv4 headers. This is a new
-feature about Explicit Congestion Notification, but some routers and firewalls
-block traffic that has this bit set, so it could be necessary to echo 0 to
-/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn if you want to talk to these sites. For more info
-you could read RFC2481.
-
-tcp_retrans_collapse
---------------------
-
-Bug-to-bug compatibility with some broken printers. On retransmit, try to send
-larger packets to work around bugs in certain TCP stacks. Can be turned off by
-setting it to zero.
-
-tcp_keepalive_probes
---------------------
-
-Number of  keep  alive  probes  TCP  sends  out,  until  it  decides  that the
-connection is broken.
-
-tcp_keepalive_time
-------------------
-
-How often  TCP  sends out keep alive messages, when keep alive is enabled. The
-default is 2 hours.
-
-tcp_syn_retries
----------------
-
-Number of  times  initial  SYNs  for  a  TCP  connection  attempt  will  be
-retransmitted. Should  not  be  higher  than 255. This is only the timeout for
-outgoing connections,  for  incoming  connections the number of retransmits is
-defined by tcp_retries1.
-
-tcp_sack
---------
-
-Enable select acknowledgments after RFC2018.
-
-tcp_timestamps
---------------
-
-Enable timestamps as defined in RFC1323.
-
-tcp_stdurg
-----------
-
-Enable the  strict  RFC793 interpretation of the TCP urgent pointer field. The
-default is  to  use  the  BSD  compatible interpretation of the urgent pointer
-pointing to the first byte after the urgent data. The RFC793 interpretation is
-to have  it  point  to  the last byte of urgent data. Enabling this option may
-lead to interoperability problems. Disabled by default.
-
-tcp_syncookies
---------------
-
-Only valid  when  the  kernel  was  compiled  with CONFIG_SYNCOOKIES. Send out
-syncookies when  the  syn backlog queue of a socket overflows. This is to ward
-off the common 'syn flood attack'. Disabled by default.
-
-Note that  the  concept  of a socket backlog is abandoned. This means the peer
-may not  receive  reliable  error  messages  from  an  over loaded server with
-syncookies enabled.
-
-tcp_window_scaling
-------------------
-
-Enable window scaling as defined in RFC1323.
-
-tcp_fin_timeout
----------------
-
-The length  of  time  in  seconds  it  takes to receive a final FIN before the
-socket is  always  closed.  This  is  strictly  a  violation  of  the  TCP
-specification, but required to prevent denial-of-service attacks.
-
-tcp_max_ka_probes
------------------
-
-Indicates how  many  keep alive probes are sent per slow timer run. Should not
-be set too high to prevent bursts.
-
-tcp_max_syn_backlog
--------------------
-
-Length of  the per socket backlog queue. Since Linux 2.2 the backlog specified
-in listen(2)  only  specifies  the  length  of  the  backlog  queue of already
-established sockets. When more connection requests arrive Linux starts to drop
-packets. When  syncookies  are  enabled the packets are still answered and the
-maximum queue is effectively ignored.
-
-tcp_retries1
-------------
-
-Defines how  often  an  answer  to  a  TCP connection request is retransmitted
-before giving up.
-
-tcp_retries2
-------------
-
-Defines how often a TCP packet is retransmitted before giving up.
-
-Interface specific settings
----------------------------
-
-In the directory /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf you'll find one subdirectory for each
-interface the  system  knows about and one directory calls all. Changes in the
-all subdirectory  affect  all  interfaces,  whereas  changes  in  the  other
-subdirectories affect  only  one  interface.  All  directories  have  the same
-entries:
-
-accept_redirects
-----------------
-
-This switch  decides  if the kernel accepts ICMP redirect messages or not. The
-default is 'yes' if the kernel is configured for a regular host and 'no' for a
-router configuration.
-
-accept_source_route
--------------------
-
-Should source  routed  packages  be  accepted  or  declined.  The  default  is
-dependent on  the  kernel  configuration.  It's 'yes' for routers and 'no' for
-hosts.
-
-bootp_relay
-~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Accept packets  with source address 0.b.c.d with destinations not to this host
-as local ones. It is supposed that a BOOTP relay daemon will catch and forward
-such packets.
-
-The default  is  0,  since this feature is not implemented yet (kernel version
-2.2.12).
-
-forwarding
-----------
-
-Enable or disable IP forwarding on this interface.
-
-log_martians
-------------
-
-Log packets with source addresses with no known route to kernel log.
-
-mc_forwarding
--------------
-
-Do multicast routing. The kernel needs to be compiled with CONFIG_MROUTE and a
-multicast routing daemon is required.
-
-proxy_arp
----------
-
-Does (1) or does not (0) perform proxy ARP.
-
-rp_filter
----------
-
-Integer value determines if a source validation should be made. 1 means yes, 0
-means no.  Disabled by default, but local/broadcast address spoofing is always
-on.
-
-If you  set this to 1 on a router that is the only connection for a network to
-the net,  it  will  prevent  spoofing  attacks  against your internal networks
-(external addresses  can  still  be  spoofed), without the need for additional
-firewall rules.
-
-secure_redirects
-----------------
-
-Accept ICMP  redirect  messages  only  for gateways, listed in default gateway
-list. Enabled by default.
-
-shared_media
-------------
-
-If it  is  not  set  the kernel does not assume that different subnets on this
-device can communicate directly. Default setting is 'yes'.
-
-send_redirects
---------------
-
-Determines whether to send ICMP redirects to other hosts.
-
-Routing settings
-----------------
-
-The directory  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route  contains  several  file  to  control
-routing issues.
-
-error_burst and error_cost
---------------------------
-
-These  parameters  are used to limit how many ICMP destination unreachable to 
-send  from  the  host  in question. ICMP destination unreachable messages are 
-sent  when  we  cannot reach  the next hop while trying to transmit a packet. 
-It  will also print some error messages to kernel logs if someone is ignoring 
-our   ICMP  redirects.  The  higher  the  error_cost  factor  is,  the  fewer 
-destination  unreachable  and error messages will be let through. Error_burst 
-controls  when  destination  unreachable  messages and error messages will be
-dropped. The default settings limit warning messages to five every second.
-
-flush
------
-
-Writing to this file results in a flush of the routing cache.
-
-gc_elasticity, gc_interval, gc_min_interval_ms, gc_timeout, gc_thresh
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Values to  control  the  frequency  and  behavior  of  the  garbage collection
-algorithm for the routing cache. gc_min_interval is deprecated and replaced
-by gc_min_interval_ms.
-
-
-max_size
---------
-
-Maximum size  of  the routing cache. Old entries will be purged once the cache
-reached has this size.
-
-redirect_load, redirect_number
-------------------------------
-
-Factors which  determine  if  more ICPM redirects should be sent to a specific
-host. No  redirects  will be sent once the load limit or the maximum number of
-redirects has been reached.
-
-redirect_silence
-----------------
-
-Timeout for redirects. After this period redirects will be sent again, even if
-this has been stopped, because the load or number limit has been reached.
-
-Network Neighbor handling
--------------------------
-
-Settings about how to handle connections with direct neighbors (nodes attached
-to the same link) can be found in the directory /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh.
-
-As we  saw  it  in  the  conf directory, there is a default subdirectory which
-holds the  default  values, and one directory for each interface. The contents
-of the  directories  are identical, with the single exception that the default
-settings contain additional options to set garbage collection parameters.
-
-In the interface directories you'll find the following entries:
-
-base_reachable_time, base_reachable_time_ms
--------------------------------------------
-
-A base  value  used for computing the random reachable time value as specified
-in RFC2461.
-
-Expression of base_reachable_time, which is deprecated, is in seconds.
-Expression of base_reachable_time_ms is in milliseconds.
-
-retrans_time, retrans_time_ms
------------------------------
-
-The time between retransmitted Neighbor Solicitation messages.
-Used for address resolution and to determine if a neighbor is
-unreachable.
-
-Expression of retrans_time, which is deprecated, is in 1/100 seconds (for
-IPv4) or in jiffies (for IPv6).
-Expression of retrans_time_ms is in milliseconds.
-
-unres_qlen
-----------
-
-Maximum queue  length  for a pending arp request - the number of packets which
-are accepted from other layers while the ARP address is still resolved.
-
-anycast_delay
--------------
-
-Maximum for  random  delay  of  answers  to  neighbor solicitation messages in
-jiffies (1/100  sec). Not yet implemented (Linux does not have anycast support
-yet).
-
-ucast_solicit
--------------
-
-Maximum number of retries for unicast solicitation.
-
-mcast_solicit
--------------
-
-Maximum number of retries for multicast solicitation.
-
-delay_first_probe_time
-----------------------
-
-Delay for  the  first  time  probe  if  the  neighbor  is  reachable.  (see
-gc_stale_time)
-
-locktime
---------
-
-An ARP/neighbor  entry  is only replaced with a new one if the old is at least
-locktime old. This prevents ARP cache thrashing.
-
-proxy_delay
------------
-
-Maximum time  (real  time is random [0..proxytime]) before answering to an ARP
-request for  which  we have an proxy ARP entry. In some cases, this is used to
-prevent network flooding.
-
-proxy_qlen
-----------
-
-Maximum queue length of the delayed proxy arp timer. (see proxy_delay).
-
-app_solicit
-----------
-
-Determines the  number of requests to send to the user level ARP daemon. Use 0
-to turn off.
-
-gc_stale_time
--------------
-
-Determines how  often  to  check  for stale ARP entries. After an ARP entry is
-stale it  will  be resolved again (which is useful when an IP address migrates
-to another  machine).  When  ucast_solicit is greater than 0 it first tries to
-send an  ARP  packet  directly  to  the  known  host  When  that  fails  and
-mcast_solicit is greater than 0, an ARP request is broadcasted.
-
-2.9 Appletalk
--------------
-
-The /proc/sys/net/appletalk  directory  holds the Appletalk configuration data
-when Appletalk is loaded. The configurable parameters are:
-
-aarp-expiry-time
-----------------
-
-The amount  of  time  we keep an ARP entry before expiring it. Used to age out
-old hosts.
-
-aarp-resolve-time
------------------
-
-The amount of time we will spend trying to resolve an Appletalk address.
-
-aarp-retransmit-limit
----------------------
-
-The number of times we will retransmit a query before giving up.
-
-aarp-tick-time
---------------
-
-Controls the rate at which expires are checked.
-
-The directory  /proc/net/appletalk  holds the list of active Appletalk sockets
-on a machine.
-
-The fields  indicate  the DDP type, the local address (in network:node format)
-the remote  address,  the  size of the transmit pending queue, the size of the
-received queue  (bytes waiting for applications to read) the state and the uid
-owning the socket.
-
-/proc/net/atalk_iface lists  all  the  interfaces  configured for appletalk.It
-shows the  name  of the interface, its Appletalk address, the network range on
-that address  (or  network number for phase 1 networks), and the status of the
-interface.
-
-/proc/net/atalk_route lists  each  known  network  route.  It lists the target
-(network) that the route leads to, the router (may be directly connected), the
-route flags, and the device the route is using.
-
-2.10 IPX
---------
-
-The IPX protocol has no tunable values in proc/sys/net.
-
-The IPX  protocol  does,  however,  provide  proc/net/ipx. This lists each IPX
-socket giving  the  local  and  remote  addresses  in  Novell  format (that is
-network:node:port). In  accordance  with  the  strange  Novell  tradition,
-everything but the port is in hex. Not_Connected is displayed for sockets that
-are not  tied to a specific remote address. The Tx and Rx queue sizes indicate
-the number  of  bytes  pending  for  transmission  and  reception.  The  state
-indicates the  state  the  socket  is  in and the uid is the owning uid of the
-socket.
-
-The /proc/net/ipx_interface  file lists all IPX interfaces. For each interface
-it gives  the network number, the node number, and indicates if the network is
-the primary  network.  It  also  indicates  which  device  it  is bound to (or
-Internal for  internal  networks)  and  the  Frame  Type if appropriate. Linux
-supports 802.3,  802.2,  802.2  SNAP  and DIX (Blue Book) ethernet framing for
-IPX.
-
-The /proc/net/ipx_route  table  holds  a list of IPX routes. For each route it
-gives the  destination  network, the router node (or Directly) and the network
-address of the router (or Connected) for internal networks.
-
-2.11 /proc/sys/fs/mqueue - POSIX message queues filesystem
-----------------------------------------------------------
-
-The "mqueue"  filesystem provides  the necessary kernel features to enable the
-creation of a  user space  library that  implements  the  POSIX message queues
-API (as noted by the  MSG tag in the  POSIX 1003.1-2001 version  of the System
-Interfaces specification.)
-
-The "mqueue" filesystem contains values for determining/setting  the amount of
-resources used by the file system.
-
-/proc/sys/fs/mqueue/queues_max is a read/write  file for  setting/getting  the
-maximum number of message queues allowed on the system.
-
-/proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_max  is  a  read/write file  for  setting/getting  the
-maximum number of messages in a queue value.  In fact it is the limiting value
-for another (user) limit which is set in mq_open invocation. This attribute of
-a queue must be less or equal then msg_max.
-
-/proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msgsize_max is  a read/write  file for setting/getting the
-maximum  message size value (it is every  message queue's attribute set during
-its creation).

-- 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.

+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;
+
+        (...)

+
+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.

+Kernel driver isl29003
+=====================
+
+Supported chips:
+* Intersil ISL29003
+Prefix: 'isl29003'
+Addresses scanned: none
+Datasheet:
+http://www.intersil.com/data/fn/fn7464.pdf
+
+Author: Daniel Mack <daniel@caiaq.de>
+
+
+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.
+
+
+Sysfs entries

+

+        0: 0 lux to 1000 lux (default)

+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.

+
+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.

+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

+  control message as timeval (usec resolution).
+
+* SO_TIMESTAMPNS
+  Same time stamping mechanism as SO_TIMESTAMP, but returns result as

+
+* IP_MULTICAST_LOOP + SO_TIMESTAMP[NS]

+
+SO_TIMESTAMPING:

+
+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.
+
+/* possible values for hwtstamp_config->tx_type */
+enum {
+        /*
+         * no outgoing packet will need hardware time stamping;

+
+
+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.

+Neterion's (Formerly S2io) X3100 Series 10GbE PCIe Server Adapter Linux driver
+==============================================================================
+
+Contents
+--------
+
+1) Introduction
+2) Features supported
+3) Configurable driver parameters
+4) Troubleshooting
+
+1) Introduction:
+----------------
+This Linux driver supports all Neterion's X3100 series 10 GbE PCIe I/O
+Virtualized Server adapters.
+The X3100 series supports four modes of operation, configurable via
+firmware -
+        Single function mode
+        Multi function mode
+        SRIOV mode
+        MRIOV mode
+The functions share a 10GbE link and the pci-e bus, but hardly anything else
+inside the ASIC. Features like independent hw reset, statistics, bandwidth/
+priority allocation and guarantees, GRO, TSO, interrupt moderation etc are
+supported independently on each function.
+
+(See below for a complete list of features supported for both IPv4 and IPv6)
+
+2) Features supported:
+----------------------
+
+i)   Single function mode (up to 17 queues)
+
+ii)  Multi function mode (up to 17 functions)
+
+iii) PCI-SIG's I/O Virtualization
+       - Single Root mode: v1.0 (up to 17 functions)
+       - Multi-Root mode: v1.0 (up to 17 functions)
+
+iv)  Jumbo frames
+       X3100 Series supports MTU up to 9600 bytes, modifiable using
+       ifconfig command.
+
+v)   Offloads supported: (Enabled by default)
+       Checksum offload (TCP/UDP/IP) on transmit and receive paths
+       TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) on transmit path
+       Generic Receive Offload (GRO) on receive path
+
+vi)  MSI-X: (Enabled by default)
+       Resulting in noticeable performance improvement (up to 7% on certain
+       platforms).
+
+vii) NAPI: (Enabled by default)
+       For better Rx interrupt moderation.
+
+viii)RTH (Receive Traffic Hash): (Enabled by default)
+       Receive side steering for better scaling.
+
+ix)  Statistics
+       Comprehensive MAC-level and software statistics displayed using
+       "ethtool -S" option.
+
+x)   Multiple hardware queues: (Enabled by default)
+       Up to 17 hardware based transmit and receive data channels, with
+       multiple steering options (transmit multiqueue enabled by default).
+
+3) Configurable driver parameters:
+----------------------------------
+
+i)  max_config_dev
+       Specifies maximum device functions to be enabled.
+       Valid range: 1-8
+
+ii) max_config_port
+       Specifies number of ports to be enabled.
+       Valid range: 1,2
+       Default: 1
+
+iii)max_config_vpath
+       Specifies maximum VPATH(s) configured for each device function.
+       Valid range: 1-17
+
+iv) vlan_tag_strip
+       Enables/disables vlan tag stripping from all received tagged frames that
+       are not replicated at the internal L2 switch.
+       Valid range: 0,1 (disabled, enabled respectively)
+       Default: 1
+
+v)  addr_learn_en
+       Enable learning the mac address of the guest OS interface in
+       virtualization environment.
+       Valid range: 0,1 (disabled, enabled respectively)
+       Default: 0
+
+4) Troubleshooting:
+-------------------
+
+To resolve an issue with the source code or X3100 series adapter, please collect
+the statistics, register dumps using ethool, relevant logs and email them to
+support@neterion.com.

-     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.

-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.

+                     SLOW WORK ITEM EXECUTION THREAD POOL
+                     ====================================
+
+By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
+
+The slow work item execution thread pool is a pool of threads for performing
+things that take a relatively long time, such as making mkdir calls.
+Typically, when processing something, these items will spend a lot of time
+blocking a thread on I/O, thus making that thread unavailable for doing other
+work.
+
+The standard workqueue model is unsuitable for this class of work item as that
+limits the owner to a single thread or a single thread per CPU.  For some
+tasks, however, more threads - or fewer - are required.
+
+There is just one pool per system.  It contains no threads unless something
+wants to use it - and that something must register its interest first.  When
+the pool is active, the number of threads it contains is dynamic, varying
+between a maximum and minimum setting, depending on the load.
+
+
+====================
+CLASSES OF WORK ITEM
+====================
+
+This pool support two classes of work items:
+
+ (*) Slow work items.
+
+ (*) Very slow work items.
+
+The former are expected to finish much quicker than the latter.
+
+An operation of the very slow class may do a batch combination of several
+lookups, mkdirs, and a create for instance.
+
+An operation of the ordinarily slow class may, for example, write stuff or
+expand files, provided the time taken to do so isn't too long.
+
+Operations of both types may sleep during execution, thus tying up the thread
+loaned to it.
+
+
+THREAD-TO-CLASS ALLOCATION
+--------------------------
+
+Not all the threads in the pool are available to work on very slow work items.
+The number will be between one and one fewer than the number of active threads.
+This is configurable (see the "Pool Configuration" section).
+
+All the threads are available to work on ordinarily slow work items, but a
+percentage of the threads will prefer to work on very slow work items.
+
+The configuration ensures that at least one thread will be available to work on
+very slow work items, and at least one thread will be available that won't work
+on very slow work items at all.
+
+
+=====================
+USING SLOW WORK ITEMS
+=====================
+
+Firstly, a module or subsystem wanting to make use of slow work items must
+register its interest:
+
+         int ret = slow_work_register_user();
+
+This will return 0 if successful, or a -ve error upon failure.
+
+
+Slow work items may then be set up by:
+
+ (1) Declaring a slow_work struct type variable:
+
+        #include <linux/slow-work.h>
+
+        struct slow_work myitem;
+
+ (2) Declaring the operations to be used for this item:
+
+        struct slow_work_ops myitem_ops = {
+                .get_ref = myitem_get_ref,
+                .put_ref = myitem_put_ref,
+                .execute = myitem_execute,
+        };
+
+     [*] For a description of the ops, see section "Item Operations".
+
+ (3) Initialising the item:
+
+        slow_work_init(&myitem, &myitem_ops);
+
+     or:
+
+        vslow_work_init(&myitem, &myitem_ops);
+
+     depending on its class.
+
+A suitably set up work item can then be enqueued for processing:
+
+        int ret = slow_work_enqueue(&myitem);
+
+This will return a -ve error if the thread pool is unable to gain a reference
+on the item, 0 otherwise.
+
+
+The items are reference counted, so there ought to be no need for a flush
+operation.  When all a module's slow work items have been processed, and the
+module has no further interest in the facility, it should unregister its
+interest:
+
+        slow_work_unregister_user();
+
+
+===============
+ITEM OPERATIONS
+===============
+
+Each work item requires a table of operations of type struct slow_work_ops.
+All members are required:
+
+ (*) Get a reference on an item:
+
+        int (*get_ref)(struct slow_work *work);
+
+     This allows the thread pool to attempt to pin an item by getting a
+     reference on it.  This function should return 0 if the reference was
+     granted, or a -ve error otherwise.  If an error is returned,
+     slow_work_enqueue() will fail.
+
+     The reference is held whilst the item is queued and whilst it is being
+     executed.  The item may then be requeued with the same reference held, or
+     the reference will be released.
+
+ (*) Release a reference on an item:
+
+        void (*put_ref)(struct slow_work *work);
+
+     This allows the thread pool to unpin an item by releasing the reference on
+     it.  The thread pool will not touch the item again once this has been
+     called.
+
+ (*) Execute an item:
+
+        void (*execute)(struct slow_work *work);
+
+     This should perform the work required of the item.  It may sleep, it may
+     perform disk I/O and it may wait for locks.
+
+
+==================
+POOL CONFIGURATION
+==================
+
+The slow-work thread pool has a number of configurables:
+
+ (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/min-threads
+
+     The minimum number of threads that should be in the pool whilst it is in
+     use.  This may be anywhere between 2 and max-threads.
+
+ (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/max-threads
+
+     The maximum number of threads that should in the pool.  This may be
+     anywhere between min-threads and 255 or NR_CPUS * 2, whichever is greater.
+
+ (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/vslow-percentage
+
+     The percentage of active threads in the pool that may be used to execute
+     very slow work items.  This may be between 1 and 99.  The resultant number
+     is bounded to between 1 and one fewer than the number of active threads.
+     This ensures there is always at least one thread that can process very
+     slow work items, and always at least one thread that won't.

+API (as noted by the  MSG tag in the  POSIX 1003.1-2001 version  of the System

+
+This directory contains configuration options for the epoll(7) interface.

+------------------
+
+This is the maximum number of epoll file descriptors that a single user can

+for normal users.
+
+max_user_watches
+----------------
+
+Every epoll file descriptor can store a number of files to be monitored
+for event readiness. Each one of these monitored files constitutes a "watch".
+This configuration option sets the maximum number of "watches" that are
+allowed for each user.
+Each "watch" costs roughly 90 bytes on a 32bit kernel, and roughly 160 bytes
+on a 64bit one.
+The current default value for  max_user_watches  is the 1/32 of the available
+low memory, divided for the "watch" cost in bytes.

+
+==============================================================
+
+This file contains the documentation for the sysctl files in
+/proc/sys/net and is valid for Linux kernel version 2.4.0-test11-pre4.
+
+The interface  to  the  networking  parts  of  the  kernel  is  located  in
+/proc/sys/net. The following table shows all possible subdirectories.You may
+see only some of them, depending on your kernel's configuration.
+
+
+Table : Subdirectories in /proc/sys/net
+..............................................................................
+ Directory Content             Directory  Content
+ core      General parameter   appletalk  Appletalk protocol

+..............................................................................
+
+1. /proc/sys/net/core - Network core options
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+rmem_default
+------------
+
+The default setting of the socket receive buffer in bytes.
+
+rmem_max
+--------
+
+The maximum receive socket buffer size in bytes.
+
+wmem_default
+------------
+
+The default setting (in bytes) of the socket send buffer.
+
+wmem_max
+--------
+
+The maximum send socket buffer size in bytes.
+
+message_burst and message_cost
+------------------------------
+
+These parameters  are used to limit the warning messages written to the kernel
+log from  the  networking  code.  They  enforce  a  rate  limit  to  make  a
+denial-of-service attack  impossible. A higher message_cost factor, results in
+fewer messages that will be written. Message_burst controls when messages will
+be dropped.  The  default  settings  limit  warning messages to one every five
+seconds.
+
+warnings
+--------
+
+This controls console messages from the networking stack that can occur because
+of problems on the network like duplicate address or bad checksums. Normally,
+this should be enabled, but if the problem persists the messages can be
+disabled.
+
+netdev_budget
+-------------
+
+Maximum number of packets taken from all interfaces in one polling cycle (NAPI
+poll). In one polling cycle interfaces which are registered to polling are
+probed in a round-robin manner. The limit of packets in one such probe can be
+set per-device via sysfs class/net/<device>/weight .
+
+netdev_max_backlog
+------------------
+
+Maximum number  of  packets,  queued  on  the  INPUT  side, when the interface
+receives packets faster than kernel can process them.
+
+optmem_max
+----------
+
+Maximum ancillary buffer size allowed per socket. Ancillary data is a sequence
+of struct cmsghdr structures with appended data.
+
+2. /proc/sys/net/unix - Parameters for Unix domain sockets
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+There is only one file in this directory.
+unix_dgram_qlen limits the max number of datagrams queued in Unix domain
+socket's buffer. It will not take effect unless PF_UNIX flag is spicified.
+
+
+3. /proc/sys/net/ipv4 - IPV4 settings
+-------------------------------------------------------
+Please see: Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt and ipvs-sysctl.txt for
+descriptions of these entries.
+
+
+4. Appletalk
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+The /proc/sys/net/appletalk  directory  holds the Appletalk configuration data
+when Appletalk is loaded. The configurable parameters are:
+
+aarp-expiry-time
+----------------
+
+The amount  of  time  we keep an ARP entry before expiring it. Used to age out
+old hosts.
+
+aarp-resolve-time
+-----------------
+
+The amount of time we will spend trying to resolve an Appletalk address.
+
+aarp-retransmit-limit
+---------------------
+
+The number of times we will retransmit a query before giving up.
+
+aarp-tick-time
+--------------
+
+Controls the rate at which expires are checked.
+
+The directory  /proc/net/appletalk  holds the list of active Appletalk sockets
+on a machine.
+
+The fields  indicate  the DDP type, the local address (in network:node format)
+the remote  address,  the  size of the transmit pending queue, the size of the
+received queue  (bytes waiting for applications to read) the state and the uid
+owning the socket.
+
+/proc/net/atalk_iface lists  all  the  interfaces  configured for appletalk.It
+shows the  name  of the interface, its Appletalk address, the network range on
+that address  (or  network number for phase 1 networks), and the status of the
+interface.
+
+/proc/net/atalk_route lists  each  known  network  route.  It lists the target
+(network) that the route leads to, the router (may be directly connected), the
+route flags, and the device the route is using.
+
+
+5. IPX
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+The IPX protocol has no tunable values in proc/sys/net.
+
+The IPX  protocol  does,  however,  provide  proc/net/ipx. This lists each IPX
+socket giving  the  local  and  remote  addresses  in  Novell  format (that is
+network:node:port). In  accordance  with  the  strange  Novell  tradition,
+everything but the port is in hex. Not_Connected is displayed for sockets that
+are not  tied to a specific remote address. The Tx and Rx queue sizes indicate
+the number  of  bytes  pending  for  transmission  and  reception.  The  state
+indicates the  state  the  socket  is  in and the uid is the owning uid of the
+socket.
+
+The /proc/net/ipx_interface  file lists all IPX interfaces. For each interface
+it gives  the network number, the node number, and indicates if the network is
+the primary  network.  It  also  indicates  which  device  it  is bound to (or
+Internal for  internal  networks)  and  the  Frame  Type if appropriate. Linux
+supports 802.3,  802.2,  802.2  SNAP  and DIX (Blue Book) ethernet framing for
+IPX.
+
+The /proc/net/ipx_route  table  holds  a list of IPX routes. For each route it
+gives the  destination  network, the router node (or Directly) and the network
+address of the router (or Connected) for internal networks.

+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.

+Mini-HOWTO for using the earlyprintk=dbgp boot option with a
+USB2 Debug port key and a debug cable, on x86 systems.
+
+You need two computers, the 'USB debug key' special gadget and
+and two USB cables, connected like this:
+
+  [host/target] <-------> [USB debug key] <-------> [client/console]
+
+1. There are three specific hardware requirements:
+
+ a.) Host/target system needs to have USB debug port capability.
+
+ You can check this capability by looking at a 'Debug port' bit in
+ the lspci -vvv output:
+
+ # lspci -vvv
+ ...

+         Kernel driver in use: ehci_hcd
+         Kernel modules: ehci-hcd
+ ...
+
+( If your system does not list a debug port capability then you probably
+  wont be able to use the USB debug key. )
+
+ b.) You also need a Netchip USB debug cable/key:
+
+        http://www.plxtech.com/products/NET2000/NET20DC/default.asp
+
+     This is a small blue plastic connector with two USB connections,
+     it draws power from its USB connections.
+
+ c.) Thirdly, you need a second client/console system with a regular USB port.
+
+2. Software requirements:
+
+ a.) On the host/target system:
+
+    You need to enable the following kernel config option:
+
+      CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_DBGP=y
+
+    And you need to add the boot command line: "earlyprintk=dbgp".
+    (If you are using Grub, append it to the 'kernel' line in
+     /etc/grub.conf)
+
+    NOTE: normally earlyprintk console gets turned off once the
+    regular console is alive - use "earlyprintk=dbgp,keep" to keep
+    this channel open beyond early bootup. This can be useful for
+    debugging crashes under Xorg, etc.
+
+ b.) On the client/console system:
+
+    You should enable the following kernel config option:
+
+      CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_DEBUG=y
+
+    On the next bootup with the modified kernel you should
+    get a /dev/ttyUSBx device(s).
+
+    Now this channel of kernel messages is ready to be used: start
+    your favorite terminal emulator (minicom, etc.) and set
+    it up to use /dev/ttyUSB0 - or use a raw 'cat /dev/ttyUSBx' to
+    see the raw output.
+
+ c.) On Nvidia Southbridge based systems: the kernel will try to probe
+     and find out which port has debug device connected.
+
+3. Testing that it works fine:
+
+   You can test the output by using earlyprintk=dbgp,keep and provoking
+   kernel messages on the host/target system. You can provoke a harmless
+   kernel message by for example doing:
+
+     echo h > /proc/sysrq-trigger
+
+   On the host/target system you should see this help line in "dmesg" output:
+
+     SysRq : HELP : loglevel(0-9) reBoot Crashdump terminate-all-tasks(E) memory-full-oom-kill(F) kill-all-tasks(I) saK show-backtrace-all-active-cpus(L) show-memory-usage(M) nice-all-RT-tasks(N) powerOff show-registers(P) show-all-timers(Q) unRaw Sync show-task-states(T) Unmount show-blocked-tasks(W) dump-ftrace-buffer(Z)
+
+   On the client/console system do:
+
+       cat /dev/ttyUSB0
+
+   And you should see the help line above displayed shortly after you've
+   provoked it on the host system.
+
+If it does not work then please ask about it on the linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org
+mailing list or contact the x86 maintainers.
