+
+1. Introduction
+
+Linux distinguishes between administrative and operational state of an
+interface. Admininstrative state is the result of "ip link set dev
+<dev> up or down" and reflects whether the administrator wants to use
+the device for traffic.
+
+However, an interface is not usable just because the admin enabled it
+- ethernet requires to be plugged into the switch and, depending on
+a site's networking policy and configuration, an 802.1X authentication
+to be performed before user data can be transferred. Operational state
+shows the ability of an interface to transmit this user data.
+
+Thanks to 802.1X, userspace must be granted the possibility to
+influence operational state. To accommodate this, operational state is
+split into two parts: Two flags that can be set by the driver only, and
+a RFC2863 compatible state that is derived from these flags, a policy,
+and changeable from userspace under certain rules.
+
+
+2. Querying from userspace
+
+Both admin and operational state can be queried via the netlink
+operation RTM_GETLINK. It is also possible to subscribe to RTMGRP_LINK
+to be notified of updates. This is important for setting from userspace.
+
+These values contain interface state:
+
+ifinfomsg::if_flags & IFF_UP:
+ Interface is admin up
+ifinfomsg::if_flags & IFF_RUNNING:
+ Interface is in RFC2863 operational state UP or UNKNOWN. This is for
+ backward compatibility, routing daemons, dhcp clients can use this
+ flag to determine whether they should use the interface.
+ifinfomsg::if_flags & IFF_LOWER_UP:
+ Driver has signaled netif_carrier_on()
+ifinfomsg::if_flags & IFF_DORMANT:
+ Driver has signaled netif_dormant_on()
+
+These interface flags can also be queried without netlink using the
+SIOCGIFFLAGS ioctl.
+
+TLV IFLA_OPERSTATE
+
+contains RFC2863 state of the interface in numeric representation:
+
+IF_OPER_UNKNOWN (0):
+ Interface is in unknown state, neither driver nor userspace has set
+ operational state. Interface must be considered for user data as
+ setting operational state has not been implemented in every driver.
+IF_OPER_NOTPRESENT (1):
+ Unused in current kernel (notpresent interfaces normally disappear),
+ just a numerical placeholder.
+IF_OPER_DOWN (2):
+ Interface is unable to transfer data on L1, f.e. ethernet is not
+ plugged or interface is ADMIN down.
+IF_OPER_LOWERLAYERDOWN (3):
+ Interfaces stacked on an interface that is IF_OPER_DOWN show this
+ state (f.e. VLAN).
+IF_OPER_TESTING (4):
+ Unused in current kernel.
+IF_OPER_DORMANT (5):
+ Interface is L1 up, but waiting for an external event, f.e. for a
+ protocol to establish. (802.1X)
+IF_OPER_UP (6):
+ Interface is operational up and can be used.
+
+This TLV can also be queried via sysfs.
+
+TLV IFLA_LINKMODE
+
+contains link policy. This is needed for userspace interaction
+described below.
+
+This TLV can also be queried via sysfs.
+
+
+3. Kernel driver API
+
+Kernel drivers have access to two flags that map to IFF_LOWER_UP and
+IFF_DORMANT. These flags can be set from everywhere, even from
+interrupts. It is guaranteed that only the driver has write access,
+however, if different layers of the driver manipulate the same flag,
+the driver has to provide the synchronisation needed.
+
+__LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER, maps to !IFF_LOWER_UP:
+
+The driver uses netif_carrier_on() to clear and netif_carrier_off() to
+set this flag. On netif_carrier_off(), the scheduler stops sending
+packets. The name 'carrier' and the inversion are historical, think of
+it as lower layer.
+
+netif_carrier_ok() can be used to query that bit.
+
+__LINK_STATE_DORMANT, maps to IFF_DORMANT:
+
+Set by the driver to express that the device cannot yet be used
+because some driver controlled protocol establishment has to
+complete. Corresponding functions are netif_dormant_on() to set the
+flag, netif_dormant_off() to clear it and netif_dormant() to query.
+
+On device allocation, networking core sets the flags equivalent to
+netif_carrier_ok() and !netif_dormant().
+
+
+Whenever the driver CHANGES one of these flags, a workqueue event is
+scheduled to translate the flag combination to IFLA_OPERSTATE as
+follows:
+
+!netif_carrier_ok():
+ IF_OPER_LOWERLAYERDOWN if the interface is stacked, IF_OPER_DOWN
+ otherwise. Kernel can recognise stacked interfaces because their
+ ifindex != iflink.
+
+netif_carrier_ok() && netif_dormant():
+ IF_OPER_DORMANT
+
+netif_carrier_ok() && !netif_dormant():
+ IF_OPER_UP if userspace interaction is disabled. Otherwise
+ IF_OPER_DORMANT with the possibility for userspace to initiate the
+ IF_OPER_UP transition afterwards.
+
+
+4. Setting from userspace
+
+Applications have to use the netlink interface to influence the
+RFC2863 operational state of an interface. Setting IFLA_LINKMODE to 1
+via RTM_SETLINK instructs the kernel that an interface should go to
+IF_OPER_DORMANT instead of IF_OPER_UP when the combination
+netif_carrier_ok() && !netif_dormant() is set by the
+driver. Afterwards, the userspace application can set IFLA_OPERSTATE
+to IF_OPER_DORMANT or IF_OPER_UP as long as the driver does not set
+netif_carrier_off() or netif_dormant_on(). Changes made by userspace
+are multicasted on the netlink group RTMGRP_LINK.
+
+So basically a 802.1X supplicant interacts with the kernel like this:
+
+-subscribe to RTMGRP_LINK
+-set IFLA_LINKMODE to 1 via RTM_SETLINK
+-query RTM_GETLINK once to get initial state
+-if initial flags are not (IFF_LOWER_UP && !IFF_DORMANT), wait until
+ netlink multicast signals this state
+-do 802.1X, eventually abort if flags go down again
+-send RTM_SETLINK to set operstate to IF_OPER_UP if authentication
+ succeeds, IF_OPER_DORMANT otherwise
+-see how operstate and IFF_RUNNING is echoed via netlink multicast
+-set interface back to IF_OPER_DORMANT if 802.1X reauthentication
+ fails
+-restart if kernel changes IFF_LOWER_UP or IFF_DORMANT flag
+
+if supplicant goes down, bring back IFLA_LINKMODE to 0 and
+IFLA_OPERSTATE to a sane value.
+
+A routing daemon or dhcp client just needs to care for IFF_RUNNING or
+waiting for operstate to go IF_OPER_UP/IF_OPER_UNKNOWN before
+considering the interface / querying a DHCP address.

+PXA2xx SPI on SSP driver HOWTO
+===================================================
+This a mini howto on the pxa2xx_spi driver.  The driver turns a PXA2xx
+synchronous serial port into a SPI master controller
+(see Documentation/spi/spi_summary). The driver has the following features
+
+- Support for any PXA2xx SSP
+- SSP PIO and SSP DMA data transfers.
+- External and Internal (SSPFRM) chip selects.
+- Per slave device (chip) configuration.
+- Full suspend, freeze, resume support.
+
+The driver is built around a "spi_message" fifo serviced by workqueue and a
+tasklet. The workqueue, "pump_messages", drives message fifo and the tasklet
+(pump_transfer) is responsible for queuing SPI transactions and setting up and
+launching the dma/interrupt driven transfers.
+
+Declaring PXA2xx Master Controllers
+-----------------------------------
+Typically a SPI master is defined in the arch/.../mach-*/board-*.c as a
+"platform device".  The master configuration is passed to the driver via a table
+found in include/asm-arm/arch-pxa/pxa2xx_spi.h:
+
+struct pxa2xx_spi_master {
+        enum pxa_ssp_type ssp_type;
+        u32 clock_enable;
+        u16 num_chipselect;
+        u8 enable_dma;
+};
+
+The "pxa2xx_spi_master.ssp_type" field must have a value between 1 and 3 and
+informs the driver which features a particular SSP supports.
+
+The "pxa2xx_spi_master.clock_enable" field is used to enable/disable the
+corresponding SSP peripheral block in the "Clock Enable Register (CKEN"). See
+the "PXA2xx Developer Manual" section "Clocks and Power Management".
+
+The "pxa2xx_spi_master.num_chipselect" field is used to determine the number of
+slave device (chips) attached to this SPI master.
+
+The "pxa2xx_spi_master.enable_dma" field informs the driver that SSP DMA should
+be used.  This caused the driver to acquire two DMA channels: rx_channel and
+tx_channel.  The rx_channel has a higher DMA service priority the tx_channel.
+See the "PXA2xx Developer Manual" section "DMA Controller".
+
+NSSP MASTER SAMPLE
+------------------
+Below is a sample configuration using the PXA255 NSSP.
+
+static struct resource pxa_spi_nssp_resources[] = {
+        [0] = {
+                .start  = __PREG(SSCR0_P(2)), /* Start address of NSSP */
+                .end    = __PREG(SSCR0_P(2)) + 0x2c, /* Range of registers */

+        },

+        .ssp_type = PXA25x_NSSP, /* Type of SSP */
+        .clock_enable = CKEN9_NSSP, /* NSSP Peripheral clock */
+        .num_chipselect = 1, /* Matches the number of chips attached to NSSP */
+        .enable_dma = 1, /* Enables NSSP DMA */
+};
+
+static struct platform_device pxa_spi_nssp = {
+        .name = "pxa2xx-spi", /* MUST BE THIS VALUE, so device match driver */
+        .id = 2, /* Bus number, MUST MATCH SSP number 1..n */
+        .resource = pxa_spi_nssp_resources,
+        .num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(pxa_spi_nssp_resources),
+        .dev = {
+                .platform_data = &pxa_nssp_master_info, /* Passed to driver */
+        },
+};
+
+static struct platform_device *devices[] __initdata = {
+        &pxa_spi_nssp,
+};
+
+static void __init board_init(void)
+{
+        (void)platform_add_device(devices, ARRAY_SIZE(devices));
+}
+
+Declaring Slave Devices
+-----------------------
+Typically each SPI slave (chip) is defined in the arch/.../mach-*/board-*.c
+using the "spi_board_info" structure found in "linux/spi/spi.h". See
+"Documentation/spi/spi_summary" for additional information.
+
+Each slave device attached to the PXA must provide slave specific configuration
+information via the structure "pxa2xx_spi_chip" found in
+"include/asm-arm/arch-pxa/pxa2xx_spi.h".  The pxa2xx_spi master controller driver
+will uses the configuration whenever the driver communicates with the slave
+device.
+
+struct pxa2xx_spi_chip {
+        u8 tx_threshold;
+        u8 rx_threshold;
+        u8 dma_burst_size;
+        u32 timeout_microsecs;
+        u8 enable_loopback;
+        void (*cs_control)(u32 command);
+};
+
+The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.tx_threshold" and "pxa2xx_spi_chip.rx_threshold" fields are
+used to configure the SSP hardware fifo.  These fields are critical to the
+performance of pxa2xx_spi driver and misconfiguration will result in rx
+fifo overruns (especially in PIO mode transfers). Good default values are
+
+        .tx_threshold = 12,
+        .rx_threshold = 4,
+
+The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.dma_burst_size" field is used to configure PXA2xx DMA
+engine and is related the "spi_device.bits_per_word" field.  Read and understand
+the PXA2xx "Developer Manual" sections on the DMA controller and SSP Controllers
+to determine the correct value. An SSP configured for byte-wide transfers would
+use a value of 8.
+
+The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.timeout_microsecs" fields is used to efficiently handle
+trailing bytes in the SSP receiver fifo.  The correct value for this field is
+dependent on the SPI bus speed ("spi_board_info.max_speed_hz") and the specific
+slave device.  Please note the the PXA2xx SSP 1 does not support trailing byte
+timeouts and must busy-wait any trailing bytes.
+
+The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.enable_loopback" field is used to place the SSP porting
+into internal loopback mode.  In this mode the SSP controller internally
+connects the SSPTX pin the the SSPRX pin.  This is useful for initial setup
+testing.
+
+The "pxa2xx_spi_chip.cs_control" field is used to point to a board specific
+function for asserting/deasserting a slave device chip select.  If the field is
+NULL, the pxa2xx_spi master controller driver assumes that the SSP port is
+configured to use SSPFRM instead.
+
+NSSP SALVE SAMPLE
+-----------------
+The pxa2xx_spi_chip structure is passed to the pxa2xx_spi driver in the
+"spi_board_info.controller_data" field. Below is a sample configuration using
+the PXA255 NSSP.

+}
+
+
+DMA and PIO I/O Support
+-----------------------
+The pxa2xx_spi driver support both DMA and interrupt driven PIO message
+transfers.  The driver defaults to PIO mode and DMA transfers must enabled by
+setting the "enable_dma" flag in the "pxa2xx_spi_master" structure and and
+ensuring that the "pxa2xx_spi_chip.dma_burst_size" field is non-zero.  The DMA
+mode support both coherent and stream based DMA mappings.
+
+The following logic is used to determine the type of I/O to be used on
+a per "spi_transfer" basis:
+
+if !enable_dma or dma_burst_size == 0 then
+        always use PIO transfers
+
+if spi_message.is_dma_mapped and rx_dma_buf != 0 and tx_dma_buf != 0 then
+        use coherent DMA mode
+
+if rx_buf and tx_buf are aligned on 8 byte boundary then
+        use streaming DMA mode
+
+otherwise
+        use PIO transfer

+After you initialize the spi_master, then use spi_register_master() to
+publish it to the rest of the system.  At that time, device nodes for
+the controller and any predeclared spi devices will be made available,
+and the driver model core will take care of binding them to drivers.
+
+If you need to remove your SPI controller driver, spi_unregister_master()
+will reverse the effect of spi_register_master().

+BUS NUMBERING
+
+Bus numbering is important, since that's how Linux identifies a given
+SPI bus (shared SCK, MOSI, MISO).  Valid bus numbers start at zero.  On
+SOC systems, the bus numbers should match the numbers defined by the chip
+manufacturer.  For example, hardware controller SPI2 would be bus number 2,
+and spi_board_info for devices connected to it would use that number.
+
+If you don't have such hardware-assigned bus number, and for some reason
+you can't just assign them, then provide a negative bus number.  That will
+then be replaced by a dynamically assigned number. You'd then need to treat
+this as a non-static configuration (see above).
