2Date: November 2010
3Contact: Yehuda Sadeh <yehuda@hq.newdream.net>,

5Description:
6
7Being used for adding and removing rbd block devices.
8
9Usage: <mon ip addr> <options> <pool name> <rbd image name> [snap name]
10
11 $ echo "192.168.0.1 name=admin rbd foo" > /sys/bus/rbd/add
12
13The snapshot name can be "-" or omitted to map the image read/write. A <dev-id>
14will be assigned for any registered block device. If snapshot is used, it will
15be mapped read-only.
16
17Removal of a device:
18
19 $ echo <dev-id> > /sys/bus/rbd/remove
20
21Entries under /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<dev-id>/
22--------------------------------------------
23
24client_id
25
26 The ceph unique client id that was assigned for this specific session.
27
28major
29
30 The block device major number.
31
32name
33
34 The name of the rbd image.
35
36pool
37
38 The pool where this rbd image resides. The pool-name pair is unique
39 per rados system.
40
41size
42
43 The size (in bytes) of the mapped block device.
44
45refresh
46
47 Writing to this file will reread the image header data and set
48 all relevant datastructures accordingly.
49
50current_snap
51
52 The current snapshot for which the device is mapped.
53
54create_snap
55
56 Create a snapshot:
57
58 $ echo <snap-name> > /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<dev-id>/snap_create
59
60rollback_snap
61
62 Rolls back data to the specified snapshot. This goes over the entire
63 list of rados blocks and sends a rollback command to each.
64
65 $ echo <snap-name> > /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<dev-id>/snap_rollback
66
67snap_*
68
69 A directory per each snapshot

2Device Interfaces
3
4Introduction
5~~~~~~~~~~~~
6
7Device interfaces are the logical interfaces of device classes that correlate
8directly to userspace interfaces, like device nodes.
9
10Each device class may have multiple interfaces through which you can
11access the same device. An input device may support the mouse interface,
12the 'evdev' interface, and the touchscreen interface. A SCSI disk would
13support the disk interface, the SCSI generic interface, and possibly a raw
14device interface.
15
16Device interfaces are registered with the class they belong to. As devices
17are added to the class, they are added to each interface registered with
18the class. The interface is responsible for determining whether the device
19supports the interface or not.
20
21
22Programming Interface
23~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
24
25struct device_interface {
26 char * name;
27 rwlock_t lock;
28 u32 devnum;
29 struct device_class * devclass;
30
31 struct list_head node;
32 struct driver_dir_entry dir;
33
34 int (*add_device)(struct device *);
35 int (*add_device)(struct intf_data *);
36};
37
38int interface_register(struct device_interface *);
39void interface_unregister(struct device_interface *);
40
41
42An interface must specify the device class it belongs to. It is added
43to that class's list of interfaces on registration.
44
45
46Interfaces can be added to a device class at any time. Whenever it is
47added, each device in the class is passed to the interface's
48add_device callback. When an interface is removed, each device is
49removed from the interface.
50
51
52Devices
53~~~~~~~
54Once a device is added to a device class, it is added to each
55interface that is registered with the device class. The class
56is expected to place a class-specific data structure in
57struct device::class_data. The interface can use that (along with
58other fields of struct device) to determine whether or not the driver
59and/or device support that particular interface.
60
61
62Data
63~~~~
64
65struct intf_data {
66 struct list_head node;
67 struct device_interface * intf;
68 struct device * dev;
69 u32 intf_num;
70};
71
72int interface_add_data(struct interface_data *);
73
74The interface is responsible for allocating and initializing a struct
75intf_data and calling interface_add_data() to add it to the device's list
76of interfaces it belongs to. This list will be iterated over when the device
77is removed from the class (instead of all possible interfaces for a class).
78This structure should probably be embedded in whatever per-device data
79structure the interface is allocating anyway.
80
81Devices are enumerated within the interface. This happens in interface_add_data()
82and the enumerated value is stored in the struct intf_data for that device.
83
84sysfs
85~~~~~
86Each interface is given a directory in the directory of the device
87class it belongs to:
88
89Interfaces get a directory in the class's directory as well:
90
91 class/
92 `-- input
93 |-- devices
94 |-- drivers
95 |-- mouse
96 `-- evdev
97
98When a device is added to the interface, a symlink is created that points
99to the device's directory in the physical hierarchy:
100
101 class/
102 `-- input
103 |-- devices
104 | `-- 1 -> ../../../root/pci0/00:1f.0/usb_bus/00:1f.2-1:0/
105 |-- drivers
106 | `-- usb:usb_mouse -> ../../../bus/drivers/usb_mouse/
107 |-- mouse
108 | `-- 1 -> ../../../root/pci0/00:1f.0/usb_bus/00:1f.2-1:0/
109 `-- evdev
110 `-- 1 -> ../../../root/pci0/00:1f.0/usb_bus/00:1f.2-1:0/
111
112
113Future Plans
114~~~~~~~~~~~~
115A device interface is correlated directly with a userspace interface
116for a device, specifically a device node. For instance, a SCSI disk
117exposes at least two interfaces to userspace: the standard SCSI disk
118interface and the SCSI generic interface. It might also export a raw
119device interface.
120
121Many interfaces have a major number associated with them and each
122device gets a minor number. Or, multiple interfaces might share one
123major number, and each will receive a range of minor numbers (like in
124the case of input devices).
125
126These major and minor numbers could be stored in the interface
127structure. Major and minor allocations could happen when the interface
128is registered with the class, or via a helper function.

1Clock framework on SuperH architecture
2
3The framework on SH extends existing API by the function clk_set_rate_ex,
4which prototype is as follows:
5
6 clk_set_rate_ex (struct clk *clk, unsigned long rate, int algo_id)
7
8The algo_id parameter is used to specify algorithm used to recalculate clocks,
9adjanced to clock, specified as first argument. It is assumed that algo_id==0
10means no changes to adjanced clock
11
12Internally, the clk_set_rate_ex forwards request to clk->ops->set_rate method,
13if it is present in ops structure. The method should set the clock rate and adjust
14all needed clocks according to the passed algo_id.
15Exact values for algo_id are machine-dependent. For the sh7722, the following
16values are defined:
17
18 NO_CHANGE = 0,
19 IUS_N1_N1, /* I:U = N:1, U:Sh = N:1 */
20 IUS_322, /* I:U:Sh = 3:2:2 */
21 IUS_522, /* I:U:Sh = 5:2:2 */
22 IUS_N11, /* I:U:Sh = N:1:1 */
23 SB_N1, /* Sh:B = N:1 */
24 SB3_N1, /* Sh:B3 = N:1 */
25 SB3_32, /* Sh:B3 = 3:2 */
26 SB3_43, /* Sh:B3 = 4:3 */
27 SB3_54, /* Sh:B3 = 5:4 */
28 BP_N1, /* B:P = N:1 */
29 IP_N1 /* I:P = N:1 */
30
31Each of these constants means relation between clocks that can be set via the FRQCR
