1What: /proc/<pid>/oom_adj
2When: August 2012
3Why: /proc/<pid>/oom_adj allows userspace to influence the oom killer's
4 badness heuristic used to determine which task to kill when the kernel
5 is out of memory.
6
7 The badness heuristic has since been rewritten since the introduction of
8 this tunable such that its meaning is deprecated. The value was
9 implemented as a bitshift on a score generated by the badness()
10 function that did not have any precise units of measure. With the
11 rewrite, the score is given as a proportion of available memory to the
12 task allocating pages, so using a bitshift which grows the score
13 exponentially is, thus, impossible to tune with fine granularity.
14
15 A much more powerful interface, /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj, was
16 introduced with the oom killer rewrite that allows users to increase or
17 decrease the badness() score linearly. This interface will replace
18 /proc/<pid>/oom_adj.
19
20 A warning will be emitted to the kernel log if an application uses this
21 deprecated interface. After it is printed once, future warnings will be
22 suppressed until the kernel is rebooted.

1What: /sys/bus/rbd/
2Date: November 2010
3Contact: Yehuda Sadeh <yehuda@hq.newdream.net>,
4 Sage Weil <sage@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
70
71
72Entries under /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<dev-id>/snap_<snap-name>
73-------------------------------------------------------------
74
75id
76
77 The rados internal snapshot id assigned for this snapshot
78
79size
80
81 The size of the image when this snapshot was taken.
