1What: security/ima/policy
2Date: May 2008
3Contact: Mimi Zohar <zohar@us.ibm.com>
4Description:
5 The Trusted Computing Group(TCG) runtime Integrity
6 Measurement Architecture(IMA) maintains a list of hash
7 values of executables and other sensitive system files
8 loaded into the run-time of this system. At runtime,
9 the policy can be constrained based on LSM specific data.
10 Policies are loaded into the securityfs file ima/policy
11 by opening the file, writing the rules one at a time and
12 then closing the file. The new policy takes effect after
13 the file ima/policy is closed.
14
15 rule format: action [condition ...]
16
17 action: measure | dont_measure
18 condition:= base | lsm
19 base: [[func=] [mask=] [fsmagic=] [uid=]]
20 lsm: [[subj_user=] [subj_role=] [subj_type=]
21 [obj_user=] [obj_role=] [obj_type=]]
22
23 base: func:= [BPRM_CHECK][FILE_MMAP][INODE_PERMISSION]
24 mask:= [MAY_READ] [MAY_WRITE] [MAY_APPEND] [MAY_EXEC]
25 fsmagic:= hex value
26 uid:= decimal value
27 lsm: are LSM specific
28
29 default policy:
30 # PROC_SUPER_MAGIC
31 dont_measure fsmagic=0x9fa0
32 # SYSFS_MAGIC
33 dont_measure fsmagic=0x62656572
34 # DEBUGFS_MAGIC
35 dont_measure fsmagic=0x64626720
36 # TMPFS_MAGIC
37 dont_measure fsmagic=0x01021994
38 # SECURITYFS_MAGIC
39 dont_measure fsmagic=0x73636673
40
41 measure func=BPRM_CHECK
42 measure func=FILE_MMAP mask=MAY_EXEC
43 measure func=INODE_PERM mask=MAY_READ uid=0
44
45 The default policy measures all executables in bprm_check,
46 all files mmapped executable in file_mmap, and all files
47 open for read by root in inode_permission.
48
49 Examples of LSM specific definitions:
50
51 SELinux:
52 # SELINUX_MAGIC
53 dont_measure fsmagic=0xF97CFF8C
54
55 dont_measure obj_type=var_log_t
56 dont_measure obj_type=auditd_log_t
57 measure subj_user=system_u func=INODE_PERM mask=MAY_READ
58 measure subj_role=system_r func=INODE_PERM mask=MAY_READ
59
60 Smack:
61 measure subj_user=_ func=INODE_PERM mask=MAY_READ

2Introduction
3============
4
5This document describes how to use the dynamic debug (ddebug) feature.
6
7Dynamic debug is designed to allow you to dynamically enable/disable kernel
8code to obtain additional kernel information. Currently, if
9CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is set, then all pr_debug()/dev_debug() calls can be
10dynamically enabled per-callsite.
11
12Dynamic debug has even more useful features:
13
14 * Simple query language allows turning on and off debugging statements by
15 matching any combination of:
16
17 - source filename
18 - function name
19 - line number (including ranges of line numbers)
20 - module name
21 - format string
22
23 * Provides a debugfs control file: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control which can be
24 read to display the complete list of known debug statements, to help guide you
25
26Controlling dynamic debug Behaviour
27===============================
28
29The behaviour of pr_debug()/dev_debug()s are controlled via writing to a
30control file in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, you must first mount the debugfs
31filesystem, in order to make use of this feature. Subsequently, we refer to the
32control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. For example, if you want to
33enable printing from source file 'svcsock.c', line 1603 you simply do:
34
35nullarbor:~ # echo 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
36 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
37
38If you make a mistake with the syntax, the write will fail thus:
39
40nullarbor:~ # echo 'file svcsock.c wtf 1 +p' >
41 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
42-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
43
44Viewing Dynamic Debug Behaviour
45===========================
46
47You can view the currently configured behaviour of all the debug statements
48via:
49
50nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
51# filename:lineno [module]function flags format
52/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"
53/usr/src/packages/BUILD/sgi-enhancednfs-1.4/default/net/sunrpc/svc_rdma.c:341 [svcxprt_rdma]svc_rdma_init - "\011max_inline : %d\012"
54/usr/src/packages/BUILD/sgi-enhancednfs-1.4/default/net/sunrpc/svc_rdma.c:340 [svcxprt_rdma]svc_rdma_init - "\011sq_depth : %d\012"
55/usr/src/packages/BUILD/sgi-enhancednfs-1.4/default/net/sunrpc/svc_rdma.c:338 [svcxprt_rdma]svc_rdma_init - "\011max_requests : %d\012"
56...
57
58
59You can also apply standard Unix text manipulation filters to this
60data, e.g.
61
62nullarbor:~ # grep -i rdma <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control | wc -l
6362
64
65nullarbor:~ # grep -i tcp <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control | wc -l
6642
67
68Note in particular that the third column shows the enabled behaviour
69flags for each debug statement callsite (see below for definitions of the
70flags). The default value, no extra behaviour enabled, is "-". So
71you can view all the debug statement callsites with any non-default flags:
72
73nullarbor:~ # awk '$3 != "-"' <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
74# filename:lineno [module]function flags format
75/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"
76
77
78Command Language Reference
79==========================
80
81At the lexical level, a command comprises a sequence of words separated
82by whitespace characters. Note that newlines are treated as word
83separators and do *not* end a command or allow multiple commands to
84be done together. So these are all equivalent:
85
86nullarbor:~ # echo -c 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
87 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
88nullarbor:~ # echo -c ' file svcsock.c line 1603 +p ' >
89 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
90nullarbor:~ # echo -c 'file svcsock.c\nline 1603 +p' >
91 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
92nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
93 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
94
95Commands are bounded by a write() system call. If you want to do
96multiple commands you need to do a separate "echo" for each, like:
97
98nullarbor:~ # echo 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' > /proc/dprintk ;\
99> echo 'file svcsock.c line 1563 +p' > /proc/dprintk
100
101or even like:
102
103nullarbor:~ # (
104> echo 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' ;\
105> echo 'file svcsock.c line 1563 +p' ;\
106> ) > /proc/dprintk
107
108At the syntactical level, a command comprises a sequence of match
109specifications, followed by a flags change specification.
110
111command ::= match-spec* flags-spec
112
113The match-spec's are used to choose a subset of the known dprintk()
114callsites to which to apply the flags-spec. Think of them as a query
115with implicit ANDs between each pair. Note that an empty list of
116match-specs is possible, but is not very useful because it will not
117match any debug statement callsites.
118
119A match specification comprises a keyword, which controls the attribute
120of the callsite to be compared, and a value to compare against. Possible
121keywords are:
122
123match-spec ::= 'func' string |
124 'file' string |
125 'module' string |
126 'format' string |
127 'line' line-range
128
129line-range ::= lineno |
130 '-'lineno |
131 lineno'-' |
132 lineno'-'lineno
133// Note: line-range cannot contain space, e.g.
134// "1-30" is valid range but "1 - 30" is not.
135
136lineno ::= unsigned-int
137
138The meanings of each keyword are:
139
140func
141 The given string is compared against the function name
142 of each callsite. Example:
143
144 func svc_tcp_accept
145
146file
147 The given string is compared against either the full
148 pathname or the basename of the source file of each
149 callsite. Examples:
150
151 file svcsock.c
152 file /usr/src/packages/BUILD/sgi-enhancednfs-1.4/default/net/sunrpc/svcsock.c
153
154module
155 The given string is compared against the module name
156 of each callsite. The module name is the string as
157 seen in "lsmod", i.e. without the directory or the .ko
158 suffix and with '-' changed to '_'. Examples:
159
160 module sunrpc
161 module nfsd
162
163format
164 The given string is searched for in the dynamic debug format
165 string. Note that the string does not need to match the
166 entire format, only some part. Whitespace and other
167 special characters can be escaped using C octal character
168 escape \ooo notation, e.g. the space character is \040.
169 Alternatively, the string can be enclosed in double quote
170 characters (") or single quote characters (').
171 Examples:
172
173 format svcrdma: // many of the NFS/RDMA server dprintks
174 format readahead // some dprintks in the readahead cache
175 format nfsd:\040SETATTR // one way to match a format with whitespace
176 format "nfsd: SETATTR" // a neater way to match a format with whitespace
177 format 'nfsd: SETATTR' // yet another way to match a format with whitespace
178
179line
180 The given line number or range of line numbers is compared
181 against the line number of each dprintk() callsite. A single
182 line number matches the callsite line number exactly. A
183 range of line numbers matches any callsite between the first
184 and last line number inclusive. An empty first number means
185 the first line in the file, an empty line number means the
186 last number in the file. Examples:
187
188 line 1603 // exactly line 1603
189 line 1600-1605 // the six lines from line 1600 to line 1605
190 line -1605 // the 1605 lines from line 1 to line 1605
191 line 1600- // all lines from line 1600 to the end of the file
192
193The flags specification comprises a change operation followed
194by one or more flag characters. The change operation is one
195of the characters:
196
197-
198 remove the given flags
199
200+
201 add the given flags
202
203=
204 set the flags to the given flags
205
206The flags are:
207
208p
209 Causes a printk() message to be emitted to dmesg
210
211Note the regexp ^[-+=][scp]+$ matches a flags specification.
212Note also that there is no convenient syntax to remove all
213the flags at once, you need to use "-psc".
214
215Examples
216========
217
218// enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
219nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >

12Why: This was inherited by the CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY code,

16 through nl80211 distributions haven't yet caught up with implementing
17 decent alternatives through standard GUIs. Although available as an
18 option through iw or wpa_supplicant its just a matter of time before
19 distributions pick up good GUI options for this. The ideal solution
20 would actually consist of intelligent designs which would do this for
21 the user automatically even when travelling through different countries.
22 Until then we leave this module parameter as a compromise.
23
24 When userspace improves with reasonable widely-available alternatives for
25 this we will no longer need this module parameter. This entry hopes that
26 by the super-futuristically looking date of "March 2010" we will have
27 such replacements widely available.

18In This Release
19===============
20
21This file describes the ixgbe Linux Base Driver for the 10 Gigabit PCI
22Express Intel(R) Network Connection. This driver includes support for
23Itanium(R)2-based systems.
24
25For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation
26supplied with your 10 Gigabit adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply
27to use with Linux.
28
29The following features are available in this kernel:
30 - Native VLANs
31 - Channel Bonding (teaming)
32 - SNMP
33 - Generic Receive Offload
34 - Data Center Bridging
35
36Channel Bonding documentation can be found in the Linux kernel source:
37/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt
38
39Ethtool, lspci, and ifconfig can be used to display device and driver
40specific information.
41
42
43Identifying Your Adapter
44========================
45
46This driver supports devices based on the 82598 controller and the 82599
47controller.
48
49For specific information on identifying which adapter you have, please visit:
50
51 http://support.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-008441.htm
52
53
54Building and Installation
55=========================
56
57select m for "Intel(R) 10GbE PCI Express adapters support" located at:
58 Location:
59 -> Device Drivers
60 -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y])
61 -> Ethernet (10000 Mbit) (NETDEV_10000 [=y])
62
631. make modules & make modules_install
64
652. Load the module:
66
67# modprobe ixgbe
68
69 The insmod command can be used if the full
70 path to the driver module is specified. For example:
71
72 insmod /lib/modules/<KERNEL VERSION>/kernel/drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe.ko
73
74 With 2.6 based kernels also make sure that older ixgbe drivers are
75 removed from the kernel, before loading the new module:
76
77 rmmod ixgbe; modprobe ixgbe
78
793. Assign an IP address to the interface by entering the following, where
80 x is the interface number:
81
82 ifconfig ethx <IP_address>
83
844. Verify that the interface works. Enter the following, where <IP_address>
85 is the IP address for another machine on the same subnet as the interface
86 that is being tested:
87
88 ping <IP_address>
89
90
91Additional Configurations
92=========================
93
94 Viewing Link Messages
95 ---------------------
96 Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is
97 restricting system messages. In order to see network driver link messages on
98 your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following:
99
100 dmesg -n 8
101
102 NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots.
103
104
105 Jumbo Frames
106 ------------
107 The driver supports Jumbo Frames for all adapters. Jumbo Frames support is
108 enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than the default of 1500.
109 The maximum value for the MTU is 16110. Use the ifconfig command to
110 increase the MTU size. For example:
111
112 ifconfig ethx mtu 9000 up
113
114 The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 16110. This value coincides
115 with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 16128.
116
117 Generic Receive Offload, aka GRO
118 --------------------------------
119 The driver supports the in-kernel software implementation of GRO. GRO has
120 shown that by coalescing Rx traffic into larger chunks of data, CPU
121 utilization can be significantly reduced when under large Rx load. GRO is an
122 evolution of the previously-used LRO interface. GRO is able to coalesce
123 other protocols besides TCP. It's also safe to use with configurations that
124 are problematic for LRO, namely bridging and iSCSI.
125
126 GRO is enabled by default in the driver. Future versions of ethtool will
127 support disabling and re-enabling GRO on the fly.
128
129
130 Data Center Bridging, aka DCB
131 -----------------------------
132
133 DCB is a configuration Quality of Service implementation in hardware.
134 It uses the VLAN priority tag (802.1p) to filter traffic. That means
135 that there are 8 different priorities that traffic can be filtered into.
136 It also enables priority flow control which can limit or eliminate the
137 number of dropped packets during network stress. Bandwidth can be
138 allocated to each of these priorities, which is enforced at the hardware
139 level.
140
141 To enable DCB support in ixgbe, you must enable the DCB netlink layer to
142 allow the userspace tools (see below) to communicate with the driver.
143 This can be found in the kernel configuration here:
144
145 -> Networking support
146 -> Networking options
147 -> Data Center Bridging support
148
149 Once this is selected, DCB support must be selected for ixgbe. This can
150 be found here:
151
152 -> Device Drivers
153 -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y])
154 -> Ethernet (10000 Mbit) (NETDEV_10000 [=y])
155 -> Intel(R) 10GbE PCI Express adapters support
156 -> Data Center Bridging (DCB) Support
157
158 After these options are selected, you must rebuild your kernel and your
159 modules.
160
161 In order to use DCB, userspace tools must be downloaded and installed.
162 The dcbd tools can be found at:
163
164 http://e1000.sf.net
165
166
167 Ethtool
168 -------
169 The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
170 diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. Ethtool
171 version 3.0 or later is required for this functionality.
172
173 The latest release of ethtool can be found from
174 http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel.
175
176
177 NAPI
178 ----
179
180 NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the ixgbe driver. NAPI is enabled
181 by default in the driver.
182
183 See www.cyberus.ca/~hadi/usenix-paper.tgz for more information on NAPI.

2Overview

5This readme tries to provide some background on the hows and whys of RDS,
6and will hopefully help you find your way around the code.

10
11RDS Architecture
12================
13
14RDS provides reliable, ordered datagram delivery by using a single
15reliable connection between any two nodes in the cluster. This allows
16applications to use a single socket to talk to any other process in the
17cluster - so in a cluster with N processes you need N sockets, in contrast
18to N*N if you use a connection-oriented socket transport like TCP.
19
20RDS is not Infiniband-specific; it was designed to support different
21transports. The current implementation used to support RDS over TCP as well
22as IB. Work is in progress to support RDS over iWARP, and using DCE to
23guarantee no dropped packets on Ethernet, it may be possible to use RDS over
24UDP in the future.
25
26The high-level semantics of RDS from the application's point of view are
27
28 * Addressing
29 RDS uses IPv4 addresses and 16bit port numbers to identify
30 the end point of a connection. All socket operations that involve
31 passing addresses between kernel and user space generally
32 use a struct sockaddr_in.
33
34 The fact that IPv4 addresses are used does not mean the underlying
35 transport has to be IP-based. In fact, RDS over IB uses a
36 reliable IB connection; the IP address is used exclusively to
37 locate the remote node's GID (by ARPing for the given IP).
38
39 The port space is entirely independent of UDP, TCP or any other
40 protocol.
41
42 * Socket interface
43 RDS sockets work *mostly* as you would expect from a BSD
44 socket. The next section will cover the details. At any rate,
45 all I/O is performed through the standard BSD socket API.
46 Some additions like zerocopy support are implemented through
47 control messages, while other extensions use the getsockopt/
48 setsockopt calls.
49
50 Sockets must be bound before you can send or receive data.
51 This is needed because binding also selects a transport and
52 attaches it to the socket. Once bound, the transport assignment
53 does not change. RDS will tolerate IPs moving around (eg in
54 a active-active HA scenario), but only as long as the address
55 doesn't move to a different transport.
56
57 * sysctls
58 RDS supports a number of sysctls in /proc/sys/net/rds
59
60
61Socket Interface
62================
63
64 AF_RDS, PF_RDS, SOL_RDS
65 These constants haven't been assigned yet, because RDS isn't in
66 mainline yet. Currently, the kernel module assigns some constant
67 and publishes it to user space through two sysctl files
68 /proc/sys/net/rds/pf_rds
69 /proc/sys/net/rds/sol_rds
70
71 fd = socket(PF_RDS, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0);
72 This creates a new, unbound RDS socket.
73
74 setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET): send and receive buffer size
75 RDS honors the send and receive buffer size socket options.
76 You are not allowed to queue more than SO_SNDSIZE bytes to
77 a socket. A message is queued when sendmsg is called, and
78 it leaves the queue when the remote system acknowledges
79 its arrival.
80
81 The SO_RCVSIZE option controls the maximum receive queue length.
82 This is a soft limit rather than a hard limit - RDS will
83 continue to accept and queue incoming messages, even if that
84 takes the queue length over the limit. However, it will also
85 mark the port as "congested" and send a congestion update to
86 the source node. The source node is supposed to throttle any
87 processes sending to this congested port.
88
89 bind(fd, &sockaddr_in, ...)
90 This binds the socket to a local IP address and port, and a
91 transport.
92
93 sendmsg(fd, ...)
94 Sends a message to the indicated recipient. The kernel will
95 transparently establish the underlying reliable connection
96 if it isn't up yet.
97
98 An attempt to send a message that exceeds SO_SNDSIZE will
99 return with -EMSGSIZE
100
101 An attempt to send a message that would take the total number
102 of queued bytes over the SO_SNDSIZE threshold will return
103 EAGAIN.
104
105 An attempt to send a message to a destination that is marked
106 as "congested" will return ENOBUFS.
107
108 recvmsg(fd, ...)
109 Receives a message that was queued to this socket. The sockets
110 recv queue accounting is adjusted, and if the queue length
111 drops below SO_SNDSIZE, the port is marked uncongested, and
112 a congestion update is sent to all peers.
113
114 Applications can ask the RDS kernel module to receive
115 notifications via control messages (for instance, there is a
116 notification when a congestion update arrived, or when a RDMA
117 operation completes). These notifications are received through
118 the msg.msg_control buffer of struct msghdr. The format of the
119 messages is described in manpages.
120
121 poll(fd)
122 RDS supports the poll interface to allow the application
123 to implement async I/O.
124
125 POLLIN handling is pretty straightforward. When there's an
126 incoming message queued to the socket, or a pending notification,
127 we signal POLLIN.
128
129 POLLOUT is a little harder. Since you can essentially send
130 to any destination, RDS will always signal POLLOUT as long as
131 there's room on the send queue (ie the number of bytes queued
132 is less than the sendbuf size).
133
134 However, the kernel will refuse to accept messages to
135 a destination marked congested - in this case you will loop
136 forever if you rely on poll to tell you what to do.
137 This isn't a trivial problem, but applications can deal with
138 this - by using congestion notifications, and by checking for
139 ENOBUFS errors returned by sendmsg.
140
141 setsockopt(SOL_RDS, RDS_CANCEL_SENT_TO, &sockaddr_in)
142 This allows the application to discard all messages queued to a
143 specific destination on this particular socket.
144
145 This allows the application to cancel outstanding messages if
146 it detects a timeout. For instance, if it tried to send a message,
147 and the remote host is unreachable, RDS will keep trying forever.
148 The application may decide it's not worth it, and cancel the
149 operation. In this case, it would use RDS_CANCEL_SENT_TO to
150 nuke any pending messages.

165RDS Protocol
166============
167
168 Message header
169
170 The message header is a 'struct rds_header' (see rds.h):
171 Fields:
172 h_sequence:
173 per-packet sequence number
174 h_ack:
175 piggybacked acknowledgment of last packet received
176 h_len:
177 length of data, not including header
178 h_sport:
179 source port
180 h_dport:
181 destination port
182 h_flags:
183 CONG_BITMAP - this is a congestion update bitmap
184 ACK_REQUIRED - receiver must ack this packet
185 RETRANSMITTED - packet has previously been sent
186 h_credit:
187 indicate to other end of connection that
188 it has more credits available (i.e. there is
189 more send room)
190 h_padding[4]:
191 unused, for future use
192 h_csum:
193 header checksum
194 h_exthdr:
195 optional data can be passed here. This is currently used for
196 passing RDMA-related information.
197
198 ACK and retransmit handling
199
200 One might think that with reliable IB connections you wouldn't need
201 to ack messages that have been received. The problem is that IB
202 hardware generates an ack message before it has DMAed the message
203 into memory. This creates a potential message loss if the HCA is
204 disabled for any reason between when it sends the ack and before
205 the message is DMAed and processed. This is only a potential issue
206 if another HCA is available for fail-over.
207
208 Sending an ack immediately would allow the sender to free the sent
209 message from their send queue quickly, but could cause excessive
210 traffic to be used for acks. RDS piggybacks acks on sent data
211 packets. Ack-only packets are reduced by only allowing one to be
212 in flight at a time, and by the sender only asking for acks when
213 its send buffers start to fill up. All retransmissions are also
214 acked.
215
216 Flow Control
217
218 RDS's IB transport uses a credit-based mechanism to verify that
219 there is space in the peer's receive buffers for more data. This
220 eliminates the need for hardware retries on the connection.
221
222 Congestion
223
224 Messages waiting in the receive queue on the receiving socket
225 are accounted against the sockets SO_RCVBUF option value. Only
226 the payload bytes in the message are accounted for. If the
227 number of bytes queued equals or exceeds rcvbuf then the socket
228 is congested. All sends attempted to this socket's address
229 should return block or return -EWOULDBLOCK.
230
231 Applications are expected to be reasonably tuned such that this
232 situation very rarely occurs. An application encountering this
233 "back-pressure" is considered a bug.
234
235 This is implemented by having each node maintain bitmaps which
236 indicate which ports on bound addresses are congested. As the
237 bitmap changes it is sent through all the connections which
238 terminate in the local address of the bitmap which changed.
239
240 The bitmaps are allocated as connections are brought up. This
241 avoids allocation in the interrupt handling path which queues
242 sages on sockets. The dense bitmaps let transports send the
243 entire bitmap on any bitmap change reasonably efficiently. This
244 is much easier to implement than some finer-grained
245 communication of per-port congestion. The sender does a very
246 inexpensive bit test to test if the port it's about to send to
247 is congested or not.
248
249
250RDS Transport Layer
251==================
252
253 As mentioned above, RDS is not IB-specific. Its code is divided
254 into a general RDS layer and a transport layer.
255
256 The general layer handles the socket API, congestion handling,
257 loopback, stats, usermem pinning, and the connection state machine.
258
259 The transport layer handles the details of the transport. The IB
260 transport, for example, handles all the queue pairs, work requests,
261 CM event handlers, and other Infiniband details.
262
263
264RDS Kernel Structures
265=====================
266
267 struct rds_message
268 aka possibly "rds_outgoing", the generic RDS layer copies data to
269 be sent and sets header fields as needed, based on the socket API.
270 This is then queued for the individual connection and sent by the
271 connection's transport.
272 struct rds_incoming
273 a generic struct referring to incoming data that can be handed from
274 the transport to the general code and queued by the general code
275 while the socket is awoken. It is then passed back to the transport
276 code to handle the actual copy-to-user.
277 struct rds_socket
278 per-socket information
279 struct rds_connection
280 per-connection information
281 struct rds_transport
282 pointers to transport-specific functions
283 struct rds_statistics
284 non-transport-specific statistics
285 struct rds_cong_map
286 wraps the raw congestion bitmap, contains rbnode, waitq, etc.
287
288Connection management
289=====================
290
291 Connections may be in UP, DOWN, CONNECTING, DISCONNECTING, and
292 ERROR states.
293
294 The first time an attempt is made by an RDS socket to send data to
295 a node, a connection is allocated and connected. That connection is
296 then maintained forever -- if there are transport errors, the
297 connection will be dropped and re-established.
298
299 Dropping a connection while packets are queued will cause queued or
300 partially-sent datagrams to be retransmitted when the connection is
301 re-established.
302
303
304The send path
305=============
306
307 rds_sendmsg()
308 struct rds_message built from incoming data
309 CMSGs parsed (e.g. RDMA ops)
310 transport connection alloced and connected if not already
311 rds_message placed on send queue
312 send worker awoken
313 rds_send_worker()
314 calls rds_send_xmit() until queue is empty
315 rds_send_xmit()
316 transmits congestion map if one is pending
317 may set ACK_REQUIRED
318 calls transport to send either non-RDMA or RDMA message
319 (RDMA ops never retransmitted)
320 rds_ib_xmit()
321 allocs work requests from send ring
322 adds any new send credits available to peer (h_credits)
323 maps the rds_message's sg list
324 piggybacks ack
325 populates work requests
326 post send to connection's queue pair
327
328The recv path
329=============
330
331 rds_ib_recv_cq_comp_handler()
332 looks at write completions
333 unmaps recv buffer from device
334 no errors, call rds_ib_process_recv()
335 refill recv ring
336 rds_ib_process_recv()
337 validate header checksum
338 copy header to rds_ib_incoming struct if start of a new datagram
339 add to ibinc's fraglist
340 if competed datagram:
341 update cong map if datagram was cong update
342 call rds_recv_incoming() otherwise
343 note if ack is required
344 rds_recv_incoming()
345 drop duplicate packets
346 respond to pings
347 find the sock associated with this datagram
348 add to sock queue
349 wake up sock
350 do some congestion calculations
351 rds_recvmsg
352 copy data into user iovec
353 handle CMSGs
354 return to application

1The existing interfaces for getting network packages time stamped are:
2
3* SO_TIMESTAMP
4 Generate time stamp for each incoming packet using the (not necessarily
5 monotonous!) system time. Result is returned via recv_msg() in a
6 control message as timeval (usec resolution).
7
8* SO_TIMESTAMPNS
9 Same time stamping mechanism as SO_TIMESTAMP, but returns result as
10 timespec (nsec resolution).
11
12* IP_MULTICAST_LOOP + SO_TIMESTAMP[NS]
13 Only for multicasts: approximate send time stamp by receiving the looped
14 packet and using its receive time stamp.
15
16The following interface complements the existing ones: receive time
17stamps can be generated and returned for arbitrary packets and much
18closer to the point where the packet is really sent. Time stamps can
19be generated in software (as before) or in hardware (if the hardware
20has such a feature).
21
22SO_TIMESTAMPING:
23
24Instructs the socket layer which kind of information is wanted. The
25parameter is an integer with some of the following bits set. Setting
26other bits is an error and doesn't change the current state.
27
28SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE: try to obtain send time stamp in hardware
29SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE: if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE is off or
30 fails, then do it in software
31SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_HARDWARE: return the original, unmodified time stamp
32 as generated by the hardware
33SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE: if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_HARDWARE is off or
34 fails, then do it in software
35SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE: return original raw hardware time stamp
36SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE: return hardware time stamp transformed to
37 the system time base
38SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE: return system time stamp generated in
39 software
40
41SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX/RX determine how time stamps are generated.
42SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW/SYS determine how they are reported in the
43following control message:
44 struct scm_timestamping {
45 struct timespec systime;
46 struct timespec hwtimetrans;
47 struct timespec hwtimeraw;
48 };
49
50recvmsg() can be used to get this control message for regular incoming
51packets. For send time stamps the outgoing packet is looped back to
52the socket's error queue with the send time stamp(s) attached. It can
53be received with recvmsg(flags=MSG_ERRQUEUE). The call returns the
54original outgoing packet data including all headers preprended down to
55and including the link layer, the scm_timestamping control message and
56a sock_extended_err control message with ee_errno==ENOMSG and
57ee_origin==SO_EE_ORIGIN_TIMESTAMPING. A socket with such a pending
58bounced packet is ready for reading as far as select() is concerned.
59If the outgoing packet has to be fragmented, then only the first
60fragment is time stamped and returned to the sending socket.
61
62All three values correspond to the same event in time, but were
63generated in different ways. Each of these values may be empty (= all
64zero), in which case no such value was available. If the application
65is not interested in some of these values, they can be left blank to
66avoid the potential overhead of calculating them.
67
68systime is the value of the system time at that moment. This
69corresponds to the value also returned via SO_TIMESTAMP[NS]. If the
70time stamp was generated by hardware, then this field is
71empty. Otherwise it is filled in if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE is
72set.
73
74hwtimeraw is the original hardware time stamp. Filled in if
75SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE is set. No assumptions about its
76relation to system time should be made.
77
78hwtimetrans is the hardware time stamp transformed so that it
79corresponds as good as possible to system time. This correlation is
80not perfect; as a consequence, sorting packets received via different
81NICs by their hwtimetrans may differ from the order in which they were
82received. hwtimetrans may be non-monotonic even for the same NIC.
83Filled in if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE is set. Requires support
84by the network device and will be empty without that support.
85
86
87SIOCSHWTSTAMP:
88
89Hardware time stamping must also be initialized for each device driver
90that is expected to do hardware time stamping. The parameter is:
91
92struct hwtstamp_config {
93 int flags; /* no flags defined right now, must be zero */
94 int tx_type; /* HWTSTAMP_TX_* */
95 int rx_filter; /* HWTSTAMP_FILTER_* */
96};
97
98Desired behavior is passed into the kernel and to a specific device by
99calling ioctl(SIOCSHWTSTAMP) with a pointer to a struct ifreq whose
100ifr_data points to a struct hwtstamp_config. The tx_type and
101rx_filter are hints to the driver what it is expected to do. If
102the requested fine-grained filtering for incoming packets is not
103supported, the driver may time stamp more than just the requested types
104of packets.
105
106A driver which supports hardware time stamping shall update the struct
107with the actual, possibly more permissive configuration. If the
108requested packets cannot be time stamped, then nothing should be
109changed and ERANGE shall be returned (in contrast to EINVAL, which
110indicates that SIOCSHWTSTAMP is not supported at all).
111
112Only a processes with admin rights may change the configuration. User
113space is responsible to ensure that multiple processes don't interfere
114with each other and that the settings are reset.

152DEVICE IMPLEMENTATION
153
154A driver which supports hardware time stamping must support the
155SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl. Time stamps for received packets must be stored
156in the skb with skb_hwtstamp_set().
157
158Time stamps for outgoing packets are to be generated as follows:
159- In hard_start_xmit(), check if skb_hwtstamp_check_tx_hardware()
160 returns non-zero. If yes, then the driver is expected
161 to do hardware time stamping.
162- If this is possible for the skb and requested, then declare
163 that the driver is doing the time stamping by calling
164 skb_hwtstamp_tx_in_progress(). A driver not supporting
165 hardware time stamping doesn't do that. A driver must never
166 touch sk_buff::tstamp! It is used to store how time stamping
167 for an outgoing packets is to be done.
168- As soon as the driver has sent the packet and/or obtained a
169 hardware time stamp for it, it passes the time stamp back by
170 calling skb_hwtstamp_tx() with the original skb, the raw
171 hardware time stamp and a handle to the device (necessary
172 to convert the hardware time stamp to system time). If obtaining
173 the hardware time stamp somehow fails, then the driver should
174 not fall back to software time stamping. The rationale is that
175 this would occur at a later time in the processing pipeline
176 than other software time stamping and therefore could lead
177 to unexpected deltas between time stamps.
178- If the driver did not call skb_hwtstamp_tx_in_progress(), then
179 dev_hard_start_xmit() checks whether software time stamping
180 is wanted as fallback and potentially generates the time stamp.

1 Reference for various scheduler-related methods in the O(1) scheduler
2 Robert Love <rml@tech9.net>, MontaVista Software
3
4
5Note most of these methods are local to kernel/sched.c - this is by design.
6The scheduler is meant to be self-contained and abstracted away. This document
7is primarily for understanding the scheduler, not interfacing to it. Some of
8the discussed interfaces, however, are general process/scheduling methods.
9They are typically defined in include/linux/sched.h.
10
11
12Main Scheduling Methods
13-----------------------
14
15void load_balance(runqueue_t *this_rq, int idle)
16 Attempts to pull tasks from one cpu to another to balance cpu usage,
17 if needed. This method is called explicitly if the runqueues are
18 imbalanced or periodically by the timer tick. Prior to calling,
19 the current runqueue must be locked and interrupts disabled.
20
21void schedule()
22 The main scheduling function. Upon return, the highest priority
23 process will be active.
24
25
26Locking
27-------
28
29Each runqueue has its own lock, rq->lock. When multiple runqueues need
30to be locked, lock acquires must be ordered by ascending &runqueue value.
31
32A specific runqueue is locked via
33
34 task_rq_lock(task_t pid, unsigned long *flags)
35
36which disables preemption, disables interrupts, and locks the runqueue pid is
37running on. Likewise,
38
39 task_rq_unlock(task_t pid, unsigned long *flags)
40
41unlocks the runqueue pid is running on, restores interrupts to their previous
42state, and reenables preemption.
43
44The routines
45
46 double_rq_lock(runqueue_t *rq1, runqueue_t *rq2)
47
48and
49
50 double_rq_unlock(runqueue_t *rq1, runqueue_t *rq2)
51
52safely lock and unlock, respectively, the two specified runqueues. They do
53not, however, disable and restore interrupts. Users are required to do so
54manually before and after calls.
55
56
57Values
58------
59
60MAX_PRIO
61 The maximum priority of the system, stored in the task as task->prio.
62 Lower priorities are higher. Normal (non-RT) priorities range from
63 MAX_RT_PRIO to (MAX_PRIO - 1).
64MAX_RT_PRIO
65 The maximum real-time priority of the system. Valid RT priorities
66 range from 0 to (MAX_RT_PRIO - 1).
67MAX_USER_RT_PRIO
68 The maximum real-time priority that is exported to user-space. Should
69 always be equal to or less than MAX_RT_PRIO. Setting it less allows
70 kernel threads to have higher priorities than any user-space task.
71MIN_TIMESLICE
72MAX_TIMESLICE
73 Respectively, the minimum and maximum timeslices (quanta) of a process.
74
75Data
76----
77
78struct runqueue
79 The main per-CPU runqueue data structure.
80struct task_struct
81 The main per-process data structure.
82
83
84General Methods
85---------------
86
87cpu_rq(cpu)
88 Returns the runqueue of the specified cpu.
89this_rq()
90 Returns the runqueue of the current cpu.
91task_rq(pid)
92 Returns the runqueue which holds the specified pid.
93cpu_curr(cpu)
94 Returns the task currently running on the given cpu.
95rt_task(pid)
96 Returns true if pid is real-time, false if not.
97
98
99Process Control Methods
100-----------------------
101
102void set_user_nice(task_t *p, long nice)
103 Sets the "nice" value of task p to the given value.
104int setscheduler(pid_t pid, int policy, struct sched_param *param)
105 Sets the scheduling policy and parameters for the given pid.
106int set_cpus_allowed(task_t *p, unsigned long new_mask)
107 Sets a given task's CPU affinity and migrates it to a proper cpu.
108 Callers must have a valid reference to the task and assure the
109 task not exit prematurely. No locks can be held during the call.
110set_task_state(tsk, state_value)
111 Sets the given task's state to the given value.
112set_current_state(state_value)
113 Sets the current task's state to the given value.
114void set_tsk_need_resched(struct task_struct *tsk)
115 Sets need_resched in the given task.
116void clear_tsk_need_resched(struct task_struct *tsk)
117 Clears need_resched in the given task.
118void set_need_resched()
119 Sets need_resched in the current task.
120void clear_need_resched()
121 Clears need_resched in the current task.
122int need_resched()
123 Returns true if need_resched is set in the current task, false
124 otherwise.
125yield()
126 Place the current process at the end of the runqueue and call schedule.

1The OSD Standard
2================
3OSD (Object-Based Storage Device) is a T10 SCSI command set that is designed
4to provide efficient operation of input/output logical units that manage the
5allocation, placement, and accessing of variable-size data-storage containers,
6called objects. Objects are intended to contain operating system and application
7constructs. Each object has associated attributes attached to it, which are
8integral part of the object and provide metadata about the object. The standard
9defines some common obligatory attributes, but user attributes can be added as
10needed.
11
12See: http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/drafts/osd2/ for the latest draft for OSD 2
13or search the web for "OSD SCSI"
14
15OSD in the Linux Kernel
16=======================
17osd-initiator:
18 The main component of OSD in Kernel is the osd-initiator library. Its main
19user is intended to be the pNFS-over-objects layout driver, which uses objects
20as its back-end data storage. Other clients are the other osd parts listed below.
21
22osd-uld:
23 This is a SCSI ULD that registers for OSD type devices and provides a testing
24platform, both for the in-kernel initiator as well as connected targets. It
25currently has no useful user-mode API, though it could have if need be.
26
27exofs:
28 Is an OSD based Linux file system. It uses the osd-initiator and osd-uld,
29to export a usable file system for users.
30See Documentation/filesystems/exofs.txt for more details
31
32osd target:
33 There are no current plans for an OSD target implementation in kernel. For all
34needs, a user-mode target that is based on the scsi tgt target framework is
35available from Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) at:
36http://www.open-osd.org/bin/view/Main/OscOsdProject
37There are several other target implementations. See http://open-osd.org for more
38links.

59The OSD-Initiator Library
60=========================
61osd_initiator is a low level implementation of an osd initiator encoder.
62But even though, it should be intuitive and easy to use. Perhaps over time an
63higher lever will form that automates some of the more common recipes.
64
65init/fini:
66- osd_dev_init() associates a scsi_device with an osd_dev structure
67 and initializes some global pools. This should be done once per scsi_device
68 (OSD LUN). The osd_dev structure is needed for calling osd_start_request().
69
70- osd_dev_fini() cleans up before a osd_dev/scsi_device destruction.
71
72OSD commands encoding, execution, and decoding of results:
73
74struct osd_request's is used to iteratively encode an OSD command and carry
75its state throughout execution. Each request goes through these stages:
76
77a. osd_start_request() allocates the request.
78
79b. Any of the osd_req_* methods is used to encode a request of the specified
80 type.
81
82c. osd_req_add_{get,set}_attr_* may be called to add get/set attributes to the
83 CDB. "List" or "Page" mode can be used exclusively. The attribute-list API
84 can be called multiple times on the same request. However, only one
85 attribute-page can be read, as mandated by the OSD standard.
86
87d. osd_finalize_request() computes offsets into the data-in and data-out buffers
88 and signs the request using the provided capability key and integrity-
89 check parameters.
90
91e. osd_execute_request() may be called to execute the request via the block
92 layer and wait for its completion. The request can be executed
93 asynchronously by calling the block layer API directly.
94
95f. After execution, osd_req_decode_sense() can be called to decode the request's
96 sense information.
97
98g. osd_req_decode_get_attr() may be called to retrieve osd_add_get_attr_list()
99 values.
100
101h. osd_end_request() must be called to deallocate the request and any resource
102 associated with it. Note that osd_end_request cleans up the request at any
103 stage and it must always be called after a successful osd_start_request().
104
105osd_request's structure:
106
107The OSD standard defines a complex structure of IO segments pointed to by
108members in the CDB. Up to 3 segments can be deployed in the IN-Buffer and up to
1094 in the OUT-Buffer. The ASCII illustration below depicts a secure-read with
110associated get+set of attributes-lists. Other combinations very on the same
111basic theme. From no-segments-used up to all-segments-used.

152A block device request can carry bidirectional payload by means of associating
153a bidi_read request with a main write-request. Each in/out request is described
154by a chain of BIOs associated with each request.
155The CDB is of a SCSI VARLEN CDB format, as described by OSD standard.
156The OSD standard also mandates alignment restrictions at start of each segment.
157
158In the code, in struct osd_request, there are two _osd_io_info structures to
159describe the IN/OUT buffers above, two BIOs for the data payload and up to five
160_osd_req_data_segment structures to hold the different segments allocation and
161information.
162
163Important: We have chosen to disregard the assumption that a BIO-chain (and
164the resulting sg-list) describes a linear memory buffer. Meaning only first and
165last scatter chain can be incomplete and all the middle chains are of PAGE_SIZE.
166For us, a scatter-gather-list, as its name implies and as used by the Networking
167layer, is to describe a vector of buffers that will be transferred to/from the
168wire. It works very well with current iSCSI transport. iSCSI is currently the
169only deployed OSD transport. In the future we anticipate SAS and FC attached OSD
170devices as well.

114In such a case, turn the bit 8 (0x100) of `probe_mask` option on.

495When a probe error occurs or when the driver obviously assigns a
496mismatched model, it'd be helpful to load the driver with
497`probe_only=1` option (at best after the cold reboot) and run
498alsa-info at this state. With this option, the driver won't configure
499the mixer and PCM but just tries to probe the codec slot. After
500probing, the proc file is available, so you can get the raw codec
501information before modified by the driver. Of course, the driver
502isn't usable with `probe_only=1`. But you can continue the
503configuration via hwdep sysfs file if hda-reconfig option is enabled.
