61 This document describes the interfaces available for device drivers that
62 drive s390 based channel attached devices. This includes interfaces for
63 interaction with the hardware and interfaces for interacting with the
64 common driver core. Those interfaces are provided by the s390 common I/O

74 While most I/O devices on a s390 system are typically driven through the

89 so-called channel attached devices. They are addressed via subchannels,
90 visible on the css bus. A device driver, however, will never interact
91 with the subchannel directly, but only via the device on the ccw bus,

2445.3.2 Handling MSI-X allocation 2445.3.2 API pci_enable_msix
245
246Determining the number of MSI-X vectors allocated to a function is
247dependent on the number of MSI capable devices and MSI-X capable
248devices populated in the system. The policy of allocating MSI-X
249vectors to a function is defined as the following:
250
251#of MSI-X vectors allocated to a function = (x - y)/z where
252
253x = The number of available PCI vector resources by the time
254 the device driver calls pci_enable_msix(). The PCI vector
255 resources is the sum of the number of unassigned vectors
256 (new) and the number of released vectors when any MSI/MSI-X
257 device driver switches its hardware device back to a legacy
258 mode or is hot-removed. The number of unassigned vectors
259 may exclude some vectors reserved, as defined in parameter
260 NR_HP_RESERVED_VECTORS, for the case where the system is
261 capable of supporting hot-add/hot-remove operations. Users
262 may change the value defined in NR_HR_RESERVED_VECTORS to
263 meet their specific needs.
264
265y = The number of MSI capable devices populated in the system.
266 This policy ensures that each MSI capable device has its
267 vector reserved to avoid the case where some MSI-X capable
268 drivers may attempt to claim all available vector resources.
269
270z = The number of MSI-X capable devices populated in the system.
271 This policy ensures that maximum (x - y) is distributed
272 evenly among MSI-X capable devices.
273
274Note that the PCI subsystem scans y and z during a bus enumeration.
275When the PCI subsystem completes configuring MSI/MSI-X capability
276structure of a device as requested by its device driver, y/z is
277decremented accordingly.
278
2795.3.3 Handling MSI-X shortages
280
281For the case where fewer MSI-X vectors are allocated to a function
282than requested, the function pci_enable_msix() will return the
283maximum number of MSI-X vectors available to the caller. A device
284driver may re-send its request with fewer or equal vectors indicated
285in the return. For example, if a device driver requests 5 vectors, but
286the number of available vectors is 3 vectors, a value of 3 will be
287returned as a result of pci_enable_msix() call. A function could be
288designed for its driver to use only 3 MSI-X table entries as
289different combinations as ABC--, A-B-C, A--CB, etc. Note that this
290patch does not support multiple entries with the same vector. Such
291attempt by a device driver to use 5 MSI-X table entries with 3 vectors
292as ABBCC, AABCC, BCCBA, etc will result as a failure by the function
293pci_enable_msix(). Below are the reasons why supporting multiple
294entries with the same vector is an undesirable solution.
295
296 - The PCI subsystem cannot determine the entry that
297 generated the message to mask/unmask MSI while handling
298 software driver ISR. Attempting to walk through all MSI-X
299 table entries (2048 max) to mask/unmask any match vector
300 is an undesirable solution.
301
302 - Walking through all MSI-X table entries (2048 max) to handle
303 SMP affinity of any match vector is an undesirable solution.

323Why: This driver has been marked obsolete for many years.
324 It was only designed to work on lower speed links and has design
325 flaws that lead to machine crashes. The qdisc infrastructure in
326 2.4 or later kernels, provides richer features and is more robust.

102P_Key Index Handling
103
104 The old ib_umad interface did not allow setting the P_Key index for
105 MADs that are sent and did not provide a way for obtaining the P_Key
106 index of received MADs. A new layout for struct ib_user_mad_hdr
107 with a pkey_index member has been defined; however, to preserve
108 binary compatibility with older applications, this new layout will
109 not be used unless the IB_USER_MAD_ENABLE_PKEY ioctl is called
110 before a file descriptor is used for anything else.
111
112 In September 2008, the IB_USER_MAD_ABI_VERSION will be incremented
113 to 6, the new layout of struct ib_user_mad_hdr will be used by
114 default, and the IB_USER_MAD_ENABLE_PKEY ioctl will be removed.

10Introduction to NAPI
11====================
12
13NAPI is a proven (www.cyberus.ca/~hadi/usenix-paper.tgz) technique
14to improve network performance on Linux. For more details please
15read that paper.
16NAPI provides a "inherent mitigation" which is bound by system capacity
17as can be seen from the following data collected by Robert on Gigabit
18ethernet (e1000):

30Legend:
31"Ipps" stands for input packets per second.
32"Tput" == packets out of total 1M that made it out.
33"txint" == transmit completion interrupts seen
34"Done" == The number of times that the poll() managed to pull all
35packets out of the rx ring. Note from this that the lower the
36load the more we could clean up the rxring
37"Ndone" == is the converse of "Done". Note again, that the higher
38the load the more times we couldn't clean up the rxring.
39
40Observe that:
41when the NIC receives 890Kpackets/sec only 17 rx interrupts are generated.
42The system cant handle the processing at 1 interrupt/packet at that load level.
43At lower rates on the other hand, rx interrupts go up and therefore the
44interrupt/packet ratio goes up (as observable from that table). So there is
45possibility that under low enough input, you get one poll call for each
46input packet caused by a single interrupt each time. And if the system
47cant handle interrupt per packet ratio of 1, then it will just have to
48chug along ....

510) Prerequisites:
52==================
53A driver MAY continue using the old 2.4 technique for interfacing
54to the network stack and not benefit from the NAPI changes.
55NAPI additions to the kernel do not break backward compatibility.
56NAPI, however, requires the following features to be available:
57
58A) DMA ring or enough RAM to store packets in software devices.
59
60B) Ability to turn off interrupts or maybe events that send packets up
61the stack.
62
63NAPI processes packet events in what is known as dev->poll() method.
64Typically, only packet receive events are processed in dev->poll().
65The rest of the events MAY be processed by the regular interrupt handler
66to reduce processing latency (justified also because there are not that
67many of them).
68Note, however, NAPI does not enforce that dev->poll() only processes
69receive events.
70Tests with the tulip driver indicated slightly increased latency if
71all of the interrupt handler is moved to dev->poll(). Also MII handling
72gets a little trickier.
73The example used in this document is to move the receive processing only
74to dev->poll(); this is shown with the patch for the tulip driver.
75For an example of code that moves all the interrupt driver to
76dev->poll() look at the ported e1000 code.
77
78There are caveats that might force you to go with moving everything to
79dev->poll(). Different NICs work differently depending on their status/event
80acknowledgement setup.
81There are two types of event register ACK mechanisms.
82 I) what is known as Clear-on-read (COR).
83 when you read the status/event register, it clears everything!
84 The natsemi and sunbmac NICs are known to do this.
85 In this case your only choice is to move all to dev->poll()
86
87 II) Clear-on-write (COW)
88 i) you clear the status by writing a 1 in the bit-location you want.
89 These are the majority of the NICs and work the best with NAPI.
90 Put only receive events in dev->poll(); leave the rest in
91 the old interrupt handler.
92 ii) whatever you write in the status register clears every thing ;->
93 Cant seem to find any supported by Linux which do this. If
94 someone knows such a chip email us please.
95 Move all to dev->poll()
96
97C) Ability to detect new work correctly.
98NAPI works by shutting down event interrupts when there's work and
99turning them on when there's none.
100New packets might show up in the small window while interrupts were being
101re-enabled (refer to appendix 2). A packet might sneak in during the period
102we are enabling interrupts. We only get to know about such a packet when the
103next new packet arrives and generates an interrupt.
104Essentially, there is a small window of opportunity for a race condition
105which for clarity we'll refer to as the "rotting packet".
106
107This is a very important topic and appendix 2 is dedicated for more
108discussion.
109
110Locking rules and environmental guarantees
111==========================================
112
113-Guarantee: Only one CPU at any time can call dev->poll(); this is because
114only one CPU can pick the initial interrupt and hence the initial
115netif_rx_schedule(dev);
116- The core layer invokes devices to send packets in a round robin format.
117This implies receive is totally lockless because of the guarantee that only
118one CPU is executing it.
119- contention can only be the result of some other CPU accessing the rx
120ring. This happens only in close() and suspend() (when these methods
121try to clean the rx ring);
122****guarantee: driver authors need not worry about this; synchronization
123is taken care for them by the top net layer.
124-local interrupts are enabled (if you dont move all to dev->poll()). For
125example link/MII and txcomplete continue functioning just same old way.
126This improves the latency of processing these events. It is also assumed that
127the receive interrupt is the largest cause of noise. Note this might not
128always be true.
129[according to Manfred Spraul, the winbond insists on sending one
130txmitcomplete interrupt for each packet (although this can be mitigated)].
131For these broken drivers, move all to dev->poll().
132
133For the rest of this text, we'll assume that dev->poll() only
134processes receive events.
135
136new methods introduce by NAPI
137=============================
138
139a) netif_rx_schedule(dev)
140Called by an IRQ handler to schedule a poll for device
141
142b) netif_rx_schedule_prep(dev)
143puts the device in a state which allows for it to be added to the
144CPU polling list if it is up and running. You can look at this as
145the first half of netif_rx_schedule(dev) above; the second half
146being c) below.
147
148c) __netif_rx_schedule(dev)
149Add device to the poll list for this CPU; assuming that _prep above
150has already been called and returned 1.
151
152d) netif_rx_reschedule(dev, undo)
153Called to reschedule polling for device specifically for some
154deficient hardware. Read Appendix 2 for more details.
155
156e) netif_rx_complete(dev)
157
158Remove interface from the CPU poll list: it must be in the poll list
159on current cpu. This primitive is called by dev->poll(), when
160it completes its work. The device cannot be out of poll list at this
161call, if it is then clearly it is a BUG(). You'll know ;->
162
163All of the above methods are used below, so keep reading for clarity.
164
165Device driver changes to be made when porting NAPI
166==================================================
167
168Below we describe what kind of changes are required for NAPI to work.
169
1701) introduction of dev->poll() method
171=====================================
172
173This is the method that is invoked by the network core when it requests
174for new packets from the driver. A driver is allowed to send upto
175dev->quota packets by the current CPU before yielding to the network
176subsystem (so other devices can also get opportunity to send to the stack).
177
178dev->poll() prototype looks as follows:
179int my_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)
180
181budget is the remaining number of packets the network subsystem on the
182current CPU can send up the stack before yielding to other system tasks.
183*Each driver is responsible for decrementing budget by the total number of
184packets sent.
185 Total number of packets cannot exceed dev->quota.
186
187dev->poll() method is invoked by the top layer, the driver just sends if it
188can to the stack the packet quantity requested.
189
190more on dev->poll() below after the interrupt changes are explained.
191
1922) registering dev->poll() method
193===================================
194
195dev->poll should be set in the dev->probe() method.
196e.g:
197dev->open = my_open;
198.
199.
200/* two new additions */
201/* first register my poll method */
202dev->poll = my_poll;
203/* next register my weight/quanta; can be overridden in /proc */
204dev->weight = 16;
205.
206.
207dev->stop = my_close;
208
209
210
2113) scheduling dev->poll()
212=============================
213This involves modifying the interrupt handler and the code
214path which takes the packet off the NIC and sends them to the
215stack.
216
217it's important at this point to introduce the classical D Becker
218interrupt processor:
219
220------------------
221static irqreturn_t
222netdevice_interrupt(int irq, void *dev_id, struct pt_regs *regs)
223{
224
225 struct net_device *dev = (struct net_device *)dev_instance;
226 struct my_private *tp = (struct my_private *)dev->priv;
227
228 int work_count = my_work_count;
229 status = read_interrupt_status_reg();
230 if (status == 0)
231 return IRQ_NONE; /* Shared IRQ: not us */
232 if (status == 0xffff)
233 return IRQ_HANDLED; /* Hot unplug */
234 if (status & error)
235 do_some_error_handling()
236
237 do {
238 acknowledge_ints_ASAP();
239
240 if (status & link_interrupt) {
241 spin_lock(&tp->link_lock);
242 do_some_link_stat_stuff();
243 spin_lock(&tp->link_lock);
244 }
245
246 if (status & rx_interrupt) {
247 receive_packets(dev);
248 }
249
250 if (status & rx_nobufs) {
251 make_rx_buffs_avail();
252 }
253
254 if (status & tx_related) {
255 spin_lock(&tp->lock);
256 tx_ring_free(dev);
257 if (tx_died)
258 restart_tx();
259 spin_unlock(&tp->lock);
260 }
261
262 status = read_interrupt_status_reg();
263
264 } while (!(status & error) || more_work_to_be_done);
265 return IRQ_HANDLED;
266}
267
268----------------------------------------------------------------------
269
270We now change this to what is shown below to NAPI-enable it:
271
272----------------------------------------------------------------------
273static irqreturn_t
274netdevice_interrupt(int irq, void *dev_id, struct pt_regs *regs)
275{
276 struct net_device *dev = (struct net_device *)dev_instance;
277 struct my_private *tp = (struct my_private *)dev->priv;
278
279 status = read_interrupt_status_reg();
280 if (status == 0)
281 return IRQ_NONE; /* Shared IRQ: not us */
282 if (status == 0xffff)
283 return IRQ_HANDLED; /* Hot unplug */
284 if (status & error)
285 do_some_error_handling();
286
287 do {
288/************************ start note *********************************/
289 acknowledge_ints_ASAP(); // dont ack rx and rxnobuff here
290/************************ end note *********************************/
291
292 if (status & link_interrupt) {
293 spin_lock(&tp->link_lock);
294 do_some_link_stat_stuff();
295 spin_unlock(&tp->link_lock);
296 }
297/************************ start note *********************************/
298 if (status & rx_interrupt || (status & rx_nobuffs)) {
299 if (netif_rx_schedule_prep(dev)) {
300
301 /* disable interrupts caused
302 * by arriving packets */
303 disable_rx_and_rxnobuff_ints();
304 /* tell system we have work to be done. */
305 __netif_rx_schedule(dev);
306 } else {
307 printk("driver bug! interrupt while in poll\n");
308 /* FIX by disabling interrupts */
309 disable_rx_and_rxnobuff_ints();
310 }
311 }
312/************************ end note note *********************************/
313
314 if (status & tx_related) {
315 spin_lock(&tp->lock);
316 tx_ring_free(dev);
317
318 if (tx_died)
319 restart_tx();
320 spin_unlock(&tp->lock);
321 }
322
323 status = read_interrupt_status_reg();
324
325/************************ start note *********************************/
326 } while (!(status & error) || more_work_to_be_done(status));
327/************************ end note note *********************************/
328 return IRQ_HANDLED;
329}
330
331---------------------------------------------------------------------
332
333
334We note several things from above:
335
336I) Any interrupt source which is caused by arriving packets is now
337turned off when it occurs. Depending on the hardware, there could be
338several reasons that arriving packets would cause interrupts; these are the
339interrupt sources we wish to avoid. The two common ones are a) a packet
340arriving (rxint) b) a packet arriving and finding no DMA buffers available
341(rxnobuff) .
342This means also acknowledge_ints_ASAP() will not clear the status
343register for those two items above; clearing is done in the place where
344proper work is done within NAPI; at the poll() and refill_rx_ring()
345discussed further below.
346netif_rx_schedule_prep() returns 1 if device is in running state and
347gets successfully added to the core poll list. If we get a zero value
348we can _almost_ assume are already added to the list (instead of not running.
349Logic based on the fact that you shouldn't get interrupt if not running)
350We rectify this by disabling rx and rxnobuf interrupts.
351
352II) that receive_packets(dev) and make_rx_buffs_avail() may have disappeared.
353These functionalities are still around actually......
354
355infact, receive_packets(dev) is very close to my_poll() and
356make_rx_buffs_avail() is invoked from my_poll()
357
3584) converting receive_packets() to dev->poll()
359===============================================
360
361We need to convert the classical D Becker receive_packets(dev) to my_poll()
362
363First the typical receive_packets() below:
364-------------------------------------------------------------------
365
366/* this is called by interrupt handler */
367static void receive_packets (struct net_device *dev)
368{
369
370 struct my_private *tp = (struct my_private *)dev->priv;
371 rx_ring = tp->rx_ring;
372 cur_rx = tp->cur_rx;
373 int entry = cur_rx % RX_RING_SIZE;
374 int received = 0;
375 int rx_work_limit = tp->dirty_rx + RX_RING_SIZE - tp->cur_rx;
376
377 while (rx_ring_not_empty) {
378 u32 rx_status;

381 struct sk_buff *skb;

383 /* the number 16 and 4 are just examples */
384 rx_status = le32_to_cpu (*(u32 *) (rx_ring + ring_offset));
385 rx_size = rx_status >> 16;
386 pkt_size = rx_size - 4;
387
388 /* process errors */
389 if ((rx_size > (MAX_ETH_FRAME_SIZE+4)) ||
390 (!(rx_status & RxStatusOK))) {
391 netdrv_rx_err (rx_status, dev, tp, ioaddr);
392 return;
393 }
394
395 if (--rx_work_limit < 0)
396 break;
397
398 /* grab a skb */
399 skb = dev_alloc_skb (pkt_size + 2);
400 if (skb) {
401 .
402 .
403 netif_rx (skb);
404 .
405 .
406 } else { /* OOM */
407 /*seems very driver specific ... some just pass
408 whatever is on the ring already. */
409 }
410

5731) refill_rx_ring() is in charge of clearing the bit for rxnobuff when

5752) We have a done and not_done state.
5763) instead of netif_rx() we call netif_receive_skb() to pass the skb.
5774) we have a new way of handling oom condition
5785) A new outer for (;;) loop has been added. This serves the purpose of
579ensuring that if a new packet has come in, after we are all set and done,
580and we have not exceeded our quota that we continue sending packets up.
581
582
583-----------------------------------------------------------

598 restart_timer();
599
600 else netif_rx_schedule(dev); /* we are back on the poll list */
601
6025) dev->close() and dev->suspend() issues
603==========================================
604The driver writer needn't worry about this; the top net layer takes
605care of it.
606
6076) Adding new Stats to /proc
608=============================
609In order to debug some of the new features, we introduce new stats
610that need to be collected.
611TODO: Fill this later.
612
613APPENDIX 1: discussion on using ethernet HW FC
614==============================================
615Most chips with FC only send a pause packet when they run out of Rx buffers.
616Since packets are pulled off the DMA ring by a softirq in NAPI,
617if the system is slow in grabbing them and we have a high input
618rate (faster than the system's capacity to remove packets), then theoretically
619there will only be one rx interrupt for all packets during a given packetstorm.
620Under low load, we might have a single interrupt per packet.
621FC should be programmed to apply in the case when the system cant pull out
622packets fast enough i.e send a pause only when you run out of rx buffers.
623Note FC in itself is a good solution but we have found it to not be
624much of a commodity feature (both in NICs and switches) and hence falls
625under the same category as using NIC based mitigation. Also, experiments
626indicate that it's much harder to resolve the resource allocation
627issue (aka lazy receiving that NAPI offers) and hence quantify its usefulness
628proved harder. In any case, FC works even better with NAPI but is not
629necessary.

632APPENDIX 2: the "rotting packet" race-window avoidance scheme
633=============================================================
634
635There are two types of associations seen here
636
6371) status/int which honors level triggered IRQ
638
639If a status bit for receive or rxnobuff is set and the corresponding
640interrupt-enable bit is not on, then no interrupts will be generated. However,
641as soon as the "interrupt-enable" bit is unmasked, an immediate interrupt is
642generated. [assuming the status bit was not turned off].
643Generally the concept of level triggered IRQs in association with a status and
644interrupt-enable CSR register set is used to avoid the race.
645
646If we take the example of the tulip:
647"pending work" is indicated by the status bit(CSR5 in tulip).
648the corresponding interrupt bit (CSR7 in tulip) might be turned off (but
649the CSR5 will continue to be turned on with new packet arrivals even if
650we clear it the first time)
651Very important is the fact that if we turn on the interrupt bit on when
652status is set that an immediate irq is triggered.
653
654If we cleared the rx ring and proclaimed there was "no more work
655to be done" and then went on to do a few other things; then when we enable
656interrupts, there is a possibility that a new packet might sneak in during
657this phase. It helps to look at the pseudo code for the tulip poll
658routine:
659
660--------------------------
661 do {
662 ACK;
663 while (ring_is_not_empty()) {
664 work-work-work
665 if quota is exceeded: exit, no touching irq status/mask
666 }
667 /* No packets, but new can arrive while we are doing this*/
668 CSR5 := read
669 if (CSR5 is not set) {
670 /* If something arrives in this narrow window here,
671 * where the comments are ;-> irq will be generated */
672 unmask irqs;
673 exit poll;
674 }
675 } while (rx_status_is_set);
676------------------------
677
678CSR5 bit of interest is only the rx status.
679If you look at the last if statement:
680you just finished grabbing all the packets from the rx ring .. you check if
681status bit says there are more packets just in ... it says none; you then
682enable rx interrupts again; if a new packet just came in during this check,
683we are counting that CSR5 will be set in that small window of opportunity
684and that by re-enabling interrupts, we would actually trigger an interrupt
685to register the new packet for processing.
686
687[The above description nay be very verbose, if you have better wording
688that will make this more understandable, please suggest it.]
689
6902) non-capable hardware
691
692These do not generally respect level triggered IRQs. Normally,
693irqs may be lost while being masked and the only way to leave poll is to do
694a double check for new input after netif_rx_complete() is invoked
695and re-enable polling (after seeing this new input).
696
697Sample code:
698
699---------
700 .
701 .
702restart_poll:
703 while (ring_is_not_empty()) {
704 work-work-work
705 if quota is exceeded: exit, not touching irq status/mask
706 }
707 .
708 .
709 .
710 enable_rx_interrupts()
711 netif_rx_complete(dev);
712 if (ring_has_new_packet() && netif_rx_reschedule(dev, received)) {
713 disable_rx_and_rxnobufs()
714 goto restart_poll
715 } while (rx_status_is_set);
716---------
717
718Basically netif_rx_complete() removes us from the poll list, but because a
719new packet which will never be caught due to the possibility of a race
720might come in, we attempt to re-add ourselves to the poll list.
721
722
723
724
725APPENDIX 3: Scheduling issues.
726==============================
727As seen NAPI moves processing to softirq level. Linux uses the ksoftirqd as the
728general solution to schedule softirq's to run before next interrupt and by putting
729them under scheduler control. Also this prevents consecutive softirq's from
730monopolize the CPU. This also have the effect that the priority of ksoftirq needs
731to be considered when running very CPU-intensive applications and networking to
732get the proper balance of softirq/user balance. Increasing ksoftirq priority to 0
733(eventually more) is reported cure problems with low network performance at high
734CPU load.

1 The Digi International RightSwitch SE-X (dgrs) Device Driver
2
3This is a Linux driver for the Digi International RightSwitch SE-X
4EISA and PCI boards. These are 4 (EISA) or 6 (PCI) port Ethernet
5switches and a NIC combined into a single board. This driver can
6be compiled into the kernel statically or as a loadable module.
7
8There is also a companion management tool, called "xrightswitch".
9The management tool lets you watch the performance graphically,
10as well as set the SNMP agent IP and IPX addresses, IEEE Spanning
11Tree, and Aging time. These can also be set from the command line
12when the driver is loaded. The driver command line options are:
13
14 debug=NNN Debug printing level
15 dma=0/1 Disable/Enable DMA on PCI card
16 spantree=0/1 Disable/Enable IEEE spanning tree
17 hashexpire=NNN Change address aging time (default 300 seconds)
18 ipaddr=A,B,C,D Set SNMP agent IP address i.e. 199,86,8,221
19 iptrap=A,B,C,D Set SNMP agent IP trap address i.e. 199,86,8,221
20 ipxnet=NNN Set SNMP agent IPX network number
21 nicmode=0/1 Disable/Enable multiple NIC mode
22
23There is also a tool for setting up input and output packet filters
24on each port, called "dgrsfilt".
25
26Both the management tool and the filtering tool are available
27separately from the following FTP site:
28
29 ftp://ftp.dgii.com/drivers/rightswitch/linux/
30
31When nicmode=1, the board and driver operate as 4 or 6 individual
32NIC ports (eth0...eth5) instead of as a switch. All switching
33functions are disabled. In the future, the board firmware may include
34a routing cache when in this mode.

56Dynamic reconfiguration:
57========================
58
59Dynamic reconfigurability is a useful addition to netconsole that enables
60remote logging targets to be dynamically added, removed, or have their
61parameters reconfigured at runtime from a configfs-based userspace interface.
62[ Note that the parameters of netconsole targets that were specified/created
63from the boot/module option are not exposed via this interface, and hence
64cannot be modified dynamically. ]
65
66To include this feature, select CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC when building the
67netconsole module (or kernel, if netconsole is built-in).
68
69Some examples follow (where configfs is mounted at the /sys/kernel/config
70mountpoint).
71
72To add a remote logging target (target names can be arbitrary):
73
74 cd /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/
75 mkdir target1
76
77Note that newly created targets have default parameter values (as mentioned
78above) and are disabled by default -- they must first be enabled by writing
79"1" to the "enabled" attribute (usually after setting parameters accordingly)
80as described below.
81
82To remove a target:
83
84 rmdir /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/othertarget/
85
86The interface exposes these parameters of a netconsole target to userspace:
87
88 enabled Is this target currently enabled? (read-write)
89 dev_name Local network interface name (read-write)
90 local_port Source UDP port to use (read-write)
91 remote_port Remote agent's UDP port (read-write)
92 local_ip Source IP address to use (read-write)
93 remote_ip Remote agent's IP address (read-write)
94 local_mac Local interface's MAC address (read-only)
95 remote_mac Remote agent's MAC address (read-write)
96
97The "enabled" attribute is also used to control whether the parameters of
98a target can be updated or not -- you can modify the parameters of only
99disabled targets (i.e. if "enabled" is 0).
100
101To update a target's parameters:
102
103 cat enabled # check if enabled is 1
104 echo 0 > enabled # disable the target (if required)
105 echo eth2 > dev_name # set local interface
106 echo 10.0.0.4 > remote_ip # update some parameter
107 echo cb:a9:87:65:43:21 > remote_mac # update more parameters
108 echo 1 > enabled # enable target again
109
110You can also update the local interface dynamically. This is especially
111useful if you want to use interfaces that have newly come up (and may not
112have existed when netconsole was loaded / initialized).
113

46 120
121TIP: some LAN switches may be configured to suppress ethernet broadcasts
122so it is advised to explicitly specify the remote agents' MAC addresses
123from the config parameters passed to netconsole.
124
125TIP: to find out the MAC address of, say, 10.0.0.2, you may try using:
126
127 ping -c 1 10.0.0.2 ; /sbin/arp -n | grep 10.0.0.2
128
129TIP: in case the remote logging agent is on a separate LAN subnet than
130the sender, it is suggested to try specifying the MAC address of the
131default gateway (you may use /sbin/route -n to find it out) as the
132remote MAC address instead.

139NOTE: if you find that the remote logging agent is not receiving or
140printing all messages from the sender, it is likely that you have set
141the "console_loglevel" parameter (on the sender) to only send high
142priority messages to the console. You can change this at runtime using:
143
144 dmesg -n 8
145
146or by specifying "debug" on the kernel command line at boot, to send
147all kernel messages to the console. A specific value for this parameter
148can also be set using the "loglevel" kernel boot option. See the
149dmesg(8) man page and Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt for details.

2018 viii) Multi-User RAM (MURAM)
2019
2020 The multi-user/dual-ported RAM is expressed as a bus under the CPM node.
2021
2022 Ranges must be set up subject to the following restrictions:
2023
2024 - Children's reg nodes must be offsets from the start of all muram, even
2025 if the user-data area does not begin at zero.
2026 - If multiple range entries are used, the difference between the parent
2027 address and the child address must be the same in all, so that a single
2028 mapping can cover them all while maintaining the ability to determine
2029 CPM-side offsets with pointer subtraction. It is recommended that
2030 multiple range entries not be used.
2031 - A child address of zero must be translatable, even if no reg resources
2032 contain it.
2033
2034 A child "data" node must exist, compatible with "fsl,cpm-muram-data", to
2035 indicate the portion of muram that is usable by the OS for arbitrary
2036 purposes. The data node may have an arbitrary number of reg resources,
2037 all of which contribute to the allocatable muram pool.
2038
2039 Example, based on mpc8272:
2040
2041 muram@0 {
2042 #address-cells = <1>;
2043 #size-cells = <1>;
2044 ranges = <0 0 10000>;

2054 Properties:
2055 - name : Should be localbus
2056 - #address-cells : Should be either two or three. The first cell is the
2057 chipselect number, and the remaining cells are the
2058 offset into the chipselect.
2059 - #size-cells : Either one or two, depending on how large each chipselect
2060 can be.
2061 - ranges : Each range corresponds to a single chipselect, and cover
2062 the entire access window as configured.
2063
2064 Example:
2065 localbus@f0010100 {
2066 compatible = "fsl,mpc8272ads-localbus",
2067 "fsl,mpc8272-localbus",
2068 "fsl,pq2-localbus";
2069 #address-cells = <2>;
2070 #size-cells = <1>;

2092 The EMAC ethernet controller in IBM and AMCC 4xx chips, and also
2093 the Axon bridge. To operate this needs to interact with a ths
2094 special McMAL DMA controller, and sometimes an RGMII or ZMII
2095 interface. In addition to the nodes and properties described

2158 than indices is available to associate an address with a device.
2159
2160 Optional properties:
2161 - phy-address : 1 cell, optional, MDIO address of the PHY. If absent,
2162 a search is performed.
2163 - phy-map : 1 cell, optional, bitmap of addresses to probe the PHY
2164 for, used if phy-address is absent. bit 0x00000001 is
2165 MDIO address 0.
2166 For Axon it can be absent, thouugh my current driver
2167 doesn't handle phy-address yet so for now, keep
2168 0x00ffffff in it.
2169 - rx-fifo-size-gige : 1 cell, Rx fifo size in bytes for 1000 Mb/sec
2170 operations (if absent the value is the same as
2171 rx-fifo-size). For Axon, either absent or 2048.
2172 - tx-fifo-size-gige : 1 cell, Tx fifo size in bytes for 1000 Mb/sec
2173 operations (if absent the value is the same as
2174 tx-fifo-size). For Axon, either absent or 2048.
2175 - tah-device : 1 cell, optional. If connected to a TAH engine for
2176 offload, phandle of the TAH device node.
2177 - tah-channel : 1 cell, optional. If appropriate, channel used on the
2178 TAH engine.
2179

2203 ii) McMAL node
2204
2205 Required properties:
2206 - device_type : "dma-controller"
2207 - compatible : compatible list, containing 2 entries, first is
2208 "ibm,mcmal-CHIP" where CHIP is the host ASIC (like

2212 - interrupts : <interrupt mapping for the MAL interrupts sources:
2213 5 sources: tx_eob, rx_eob, serr, txde, rxde>.
2214 For Axon: This is _different_ from the current
2215 firmware. We use the "delayed" interrupts for txeob
2216 and rxeob. Thus we end up with mapping those 5 MPIC
2217 interrupts, all level positive sensitive: 10, 11, 32,
2218 33, 34 (in decimal)
2219 - dcr-reg : < DCR registers range >

1rfkill - RF switch subsystem support
2====================================
3
41 Implementation details
52 Driver support
63 Userspace support
7
8===============================================================================
91: Implementation details
10
11The rfkill switch subsystem offers support for keys often found on laptops
12to enable wireless devices like WiFi and Bluetooth.
13
14This is done by providing the user 3 possibilities:
15 1 - The rfkill system handles all events; userspace is not aware of events.
16 2 - The rfkill system handles all events; userspace is informed about the events.
17 3 - The rfkill system does not handle events; userspace handles all events.
18
19The buttons to enable and disable the wireless radios are important in
20situations where the user is for example using his laptop on a location where
21wireless radios _must_ be disabled (e.g. airplanes).
22Because of this requirement, userspace support for the keys should not be
23made mandatory. Because userspace might want to perform some additional smarter
24tasks when the key is pressed, rfkill still provides userspace the possibility
25to take over the task to handle the key events.
26
27The system inside the kernel has been split into 2 separate sections:
28 1 - RFKILL
29 2 - RFKILL_INPUT
30
31The first option enables rfkill support and will make sure userspace will
32be notified of any events through the input device. It also creates several
33sysfs entries which can be used by userspace. See section "Userspace support".
34
35The second option provides an rfkill input handler. This handler will
36listen to all rfkill key events and will toggle the radio accordingly.
37With this option enabled userspace could either do nothing or simply
38perform monitoring tasks.
39
40====================================
412: Driver support
42
43To build a driver with rfkill subsystem support, the driver should
44depend on the Kconfig symbol RFKILL; it should _not_ depend on
45RKFILL_INPUT.
46
47Unless key events trigger an interrupt to which the driver listens, polling
48will be required to determine the key state changes. For this the input
49layer providers the input-polldev handler.
50
51A driver should implement a few steps to correctly make use of the
52rfkill subsystem. First for non-polling drivers:
53
54 - rfkill_allocate()
55 - input_allocate_device()
56 - rfkill_register()
57 - input_register_device()
58
59For polling drivers:
60
61 - rfkill_allocate()
62 - input_allocate_polled_device()
63 - rfkill_register()
64 - input_register_polled_device()
65
66When a key event has been detected, the correct event should be
67sent over the input device which has been registered by the driver.
68
69====================================
703: Userspace support
71
72For each key an input device will be created which will send out the correct
73key event when the rfkill key has been pressed.
74
75The following sysfs entries will be created:
76
77 name: Name assigned by driver to this key (interface or driver name).
78 type: Name of the key type ("wlan", "bluetooth", etc).
79 state: Current state of the key. 1: On, 0: Off.
80 claim: 1: Userspace handles events, 0: Kernel handles events
81
82Both the "state" and "claim" entries are also writable. For the "state" entry
83this means that when 1 or 0 is written all radios, not yet in the requested
84state, will be will be toggled accordingly.
85For the "claim" entry writing 1 to it means that the kernel no longer handles
86key events even though RFKILL_INPUT input was enabled. When "claim" has been
87set to 0, userspace should make sure that it listens for the input events or
88check the sysfs "state" entry regularly to correctly perform the required
89tasks when the rkfill key is pressed.

2Authorizing (or not) your USB devices to connect to the system
3
4(C) 2007 Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com> Intel Corporation
5
6This feature allows you to control if a USB device can be used (or
7not) in a system. This feature will allow you to implement a lock-down
8of USB devices, fully controlled by user space.
9
10As of now, when a USB device is connected it is configured and
11it's interfaces inmediately made available to the users. With this
12modification, only if root authorizes the device to be configured will
13then it be possible to use it.
14
15Usage:
16
17Authorize a device to connect:
18
19$ echo 1 > /sys/usb/devices/DEVICE/authorized
20
21Deauthorize a device:
22
23$ echo 0 > /sys/usb/devices/DEVICE/authorized
24
25Set new devices connected to hostX to be deauthorized by default (ie:
26lock down):
27
28$ echo 0 > /sys/bus/devices/usbX/authorized_default
29
30Remove the lock down:
31
32$ echo 1 > /sys/bus/devices/usbX/authorized_default
33
34By default, Wired USB devices are authorized by default to
35connect. Wireless USB hosts deauthorize by default all new connected
36devices (this is so because we need to do an authentication phase
37before authorizing).
38
39
40Example system lockdown (lame)
41-----------------------
42
43Imagine you want to implement a lockdown so only devices of type XYZ
44can be connected (for example, it is a kiosk machine with a visible
45USB port):
46
47boot up
48rc.local ->
49
50 for host in /sys/bus/devices/usb*
51 do
52 echo 0 > $host/authorized_default
53 done
54
55Hookup an script to udev, for new USB devices
56
57 if device_is_my_type $DEV
58 then
59 echo 1 > $device_path/authorized
60 done
61
62
63Now, device_is_my_type() is where the juice for a lockdown is. Just
64checking if the class, type and protocol match something is the worse
65security verification you can make (or the best, for someone willing
66to break it). If you need something secure, use crypto and Certificate
67Authentication or stuff like that. Something simple for an storage key
68could be:
69
70function device_is_my_type()
71{
72 echo 1 > authorized # temporarily authorize it
73 # FIXME: make sure none can mount it
74 mount DEVICENODE /mntpoint
75 sum=$(md5sum /mntpoint/.signature)
76 if [ $sum = $(cat /etc/lockdown/keysum) ]
77 then
78 echo "We are good, connected"
79 umount /mntpoint
80 # Other stuff so others can use it
81 else
82 echo 0 > authorized
83 fi
84}
85
86
87Of course, this is lame, you'd want to do a real certificate
88verification stuff with PKI, so you don't depend on a shared secret,
89etc, but you get the idea. Anybody with access to a device gadget kit
90can fake descriptors and device info. Don't trust that. You are
91welcome.

1 Power Management for USB
2
3 Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
4
5 October 5, 2007
6

8
9 What is Power Management?
10 -------------------------
11
12Power Management (PM) is the practice of saving energy by suspending
13parts of a computer system when they aren't being used. While a
14component is "suspended" it is in a nonfunctional low-power state; it
15might even be turned off completely. A suspended component can be
16"resumed" (returned to a functional full-power state) when the kernel
17needs to use it. (There also are forms of PM in which components are
18placed in a less functional but still usable state instead of being
19suspended; an example would be reducing the CPU's clock rate. This
20document will not discuss those other forms.)
21
22When the parts being suspended include the CPU and most of the rest of
23the system, we speak of it as a "system suspend". When a particular
24device is turned off while the system as a whole remains running, we
25call it a "dynamic suspend" (also known as a "runtime suspend" or
26"selective suspend"). This document concentrates mostly on how
27dynamic PM is implemented in the USB subsystem, although system PM is
28covered to some extent (see Documentation/power/*.txt for more
29information about system PM).
30
31Note: Dynamic PM support for USB is present only if the kernel was
32built with CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND enabled. System PM support is present
33only if the kernel was built with CONFIG_SUSPEND or CONFIG_HIBERNATION
34enabled.
35
36
37 What is Remote Wakeup?
38 ----------------------
39
40When a device has been suspended, it generally doesn't resume until
41the computer tells it to. Likewise, if the entire computer has been
42suspended, it generally doesn't resume until the user tells it to, say
43by pressing a power button or opening the cover.
44
45However some devices have the capability of resuming by themselves, or
46asking the kernel to resume them, or even telling the entire computer
47to resume. This capability goes by several names such as "Wake On
48LAN"; we will refer to it generically as "remote wakeup". When a
49device is enabled for remote wakeup and it is suspended, it may resume
50itself (or send a request to be resumed) in response to some external
51event. Examples include a suspended keyboard resuming when a key is
52pressed, or a suspended USB hub resuming when a device is plugged in.
53
54
55 When is a USB device idle?
56 --------------------------
57
58A device is idle whenever the kernel thinks it's not busy doing
59anything important and thus is a candidate for being suspended. The
60exact definition depends on the device's driver; drivers are allowed
61to declare that a device isn't idle even when there's no actual
62communication taking place. (For example, a hub isn't considered idle
63unless all the devices plugged into that hub are already suspended.)
64In addition, a device isn't considered idle so long as a program keeps
65its usbfs file open, whether or not any I/O is going on.
66
67If a USB device has no driver, its usbfs file isn't open, and it isn't
68being accessed through sysfs, then it definitely is idle.
69
70
71 Forms of dynamic PM
72 -------------------
73
74Dynamic suspends can occur in two ways: manual and automatic.
75"Manual" means that the user has told the kernel to suspend a device,
76whereas "automatic" means that the kernel has decided all by itself to
77suspend a device. Automatic suspend is called "autosuspend" for
78short. In general, a device won't be autosuspended unless it has been
79idle for some minimum period of time, the so-called idle-delay time.
80
81Of course, nothing the kernel does on its own initiative should
82prevent the computer or its devices from working properly. If a
83device has been autosuspended and a program tries to use it, the
84kernel will automatically resume the device (autoresume). For the
85same reason, an autosuspended device will usually have remote wakeup
86enabled, if the device supports remote wakeup.
87
88It is worth mentioning that many USB drivers don't support
89autosuspend. In fact, at the time of this writing (Linux 2.6.23) the
90only drivers which do support it are the hub driver, kaweth, asix,
91usblp, usblcd, and usb-skeleton (which doesn't count). If a
92non-supporting driver is bound to a device, the device won't be
93autosuspended. In effect, the kernel pretends the device is never
94idle.
95
96We can categorize power management events in two broad classes:
97external and internal. External events are those triggered by some
98agent outside the USB stack: system suspend/resume (triggered by
99userspace), manual dynamic suspend/resume (also triggered by
100userspace), and remote wakeup (triggered by the device). Internal
101events are those triggered within the USB stack: autosuspend and
102autoresume.
103
104
105 The user interface for dynamic PM
106 ---------------------------------
107
108The user interface for controlling dynamic PM is located in the power/
109subdirectory of each USB device's sysfs directory, that is, in
110/sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/ where "..." is the device's ID. The
111relevant attribute files are: wakeup, level, and autosuspend.
112
113 power/wakeup
114
115 This file is empty if the device does not support
116 remote wakeup. Otherwise the file contains either the
117 word "enabled" or the word "disabled", and you can
118 write those words to the file. The setting determines
119 whether or not remote wakeup will be enabled when the
120 device is next suspended. (If the setting is changed
121 while the device is suspended, the change won't take
122 effect until the following suspend.)
123
124 power/level
125
126 This file contains one of three words: "on", "auto",
127 or "suspend". You can write those words to the file
128 to change the device's setting.
129
130 "on" means that the device should be resumed and
131 autosuspend is not allowed. (Of course, system
132 suspends are still allowed.)
133
134 "auto" is the normal state in which the kernel is
135 allowed to autosuspend and autoresume the device.
136
137 "suspend" means that the device should remain
138 suspended, and autoresume is not allowed. (But remote
139 wakeup may still be allowed, since it is controlled
140 separately by the power/wakeup attribute.)
141
142 power/autosuspend
143
144 This file contains an integer value, which is the
145 number of seconds the device should remain idle before
146 the kernel will autosuspend it (the idle-delay time).
147 The default is 2. 0 means to autosuspend as soon as
148 the device becomes idle, and -1 means never to
149 autosuspend. You can write a number to the file to
150 change the autosuspend idle-delay time.
151
152Writing "-1" to power/autosuspend and writing "on" to power/level do
153essentially the same thing -- they both prevent the device from being
154autosuspended. Yes, this is a redundancy in the API.
155
156(In 2.6.21 writing "0" to power/autosuspend would prevent the device
157from being autosuspended; the behavior was changed in 2.6.22. The
158power/autosuspend attribute did not exist prior to 2.6.21, and the
159power/level attribute did not exist prior to 2.6.22.)
160
161
162 Changing the default idle-delay time
163 ------------------------------------
164
165The default autosuspend idle-delay time is controlled by a module
166parameter in usbcore. You can specify the value when usbcore is
167loaded. For example, to set it to 5 seconds instead of 2 you would
168do:
169
170 modprobe usbcore autosuspend=5
171
172Equivalently, you could add to /etc/modprobe.conf a line saying:
173
174 options usbcore autosuspend=5
175
176Some distributions load the usbcore module very early during the boot
177process, by means of a program or script running from an initramfs
178image. To alter the parameter value you would have to rebuild that
179image.
180
181If usbcore is compiled into the kernel rather than built as a loadable
182module, you can add
183
184 usbcore.autosuspend=5
185
186to the kernel's boot command line.
187
188Finally, the parameter value can be changed while the system is
189running. If you do:
190
191 echo 5 >/sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend
192
193then each new USB device will have its autosuspend idle-delay
194initialized to 5. (The idle-delay values for already existing devices
195will not be affected.)
196
197Setting the initial default idle-delay to -1 will prevent any
198autosuspend of any USB device. This is a simple alternative to
199disabling CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND and rebuilding the kernel, and it has the
200added benefit of allowing you to enable autosuspend for selected
201devices.
202
203
204 Warnings
205 --------
206
207The USB specification states that all USB devices must support power
208management. Nevertheless, the sad fact is that many devices do not
209support it very well. You can suspend them all right, but when you
210try to resume them they disconnect themselves from the USB bus or
211they stop working entirely. This seems to be especially prevalent
212among printers and scanners, but plenty of other types of device have
213the same deficiency.
214
215For this reason, by default the kernel disables autosuspend (the
216power/level attribute is initialized to "on") for all devices other
217than hubs. Hubs, at least, appear to be reasonably well-behaved in
218this regard.
219
220(In 2.6.21 and 2.6.22 this wasn't the case. Autosuspend was enabled
221by default for almost all USB devices. A number of people experienced
222problems as a result.)
223
224This means that non-hub devices won't be autosuspended unless the user
225or a program explicitly enables it. As of this writing there aren't
226any widespread programs which will do this; we hope that in the near
227future device managers such as HAL will take on this added
228responsibility. In the meantime you can always carry out the
229necessary operations by hand or add them to a udev script. You can
230also change the idle-delay time; 2 seconds is not the best choice for
231every device.
232
233Sometimes it turns out that even when a device does work okay with
234autosuspend there are still problems. For example, there are
235experimental patches adding autosuspend support to the usbhid driver,
236which manages keyboards and mice, among other things. Tests with a
237number of keyboards showed that typing on a suspended keyboard, while
238causing the keyboard to do a remote wakeup all right, would
239nonetheless frequently result in lost keystrokes. Tests with mice
240showed that some of them would issue a remote-wakeup request in
241response to button presses but not to motion, and some in response to
242neither.
243
244The kernel will not prevent you from enabling autosuspend on devices
245that can't handle it. It is even possible in theory to damage a
246device by suspending it at the wrong time -- for example, suspending a
247USB hard disk might cause it to spin down without parking the heads.
248(Highly unlikely, but possible.) Take care.
249
250
251 The driver interface for Power Management
252 -----------------------------------------
253
254The requirements for a USB driver to support external power management
255are pretty modest; the driver need only define
256
257 .suspend
258 .resume
259 .reset_resume
260
261methods in its usb_driver structure, and the reset_resume method is
262optional. The methods' jobs are quite simple:
263
264 The suspend method is called to warn the driver that the
265 device is going to be suspended. If the driver returns a
266 negative error code, the suspend will be aborted. Normally
267 the driver will return 0, in which case it must cancel all
268 outstanding URBs (usb_kill_urb()) and not submit any more.
269
270 The resume method is called to tell the driver that the
271 device has been resumed and the driver can return to normal
272 operation. URBs may once more be submitted.
273
274 The reset_resume method is called to tell the driver that
275 the device has been resumed and it also has been reset.
276 The driver should redo any necessary device initialization,
277 since the device has probably lost most or all of its state
278 (although the interfaces will be in the same altsettings as
279 before the suspend).
280
281The reset_resume method is used by the USB Persist facility (see
282Documentation/usb/persist.txt) and it can also be used under certain
283circumstances when CONFIG_USB_PERSIST is not enabled. Currently, if a
284device is reset during a resume and the driver does not have a
285reset_resume method, the driver won't receive any notification about
286the resume. Later kernels will call the driver's disconnect method;
2872.6.23 doesn't do this.
288
289USB drivers are bound to interfaces, so their suspend and resume
290methods get called when the interfaces are suspended or resumed. In
291principle one might want to suspend some interfaces on a device (i.e.,
292force the drivers for those interface to stop all activity) without
293suspending the other interfaces. The USB core doesn't allow this; all
294interfaces are suspended when the device itself is suspended and all
295interfaces are resumed when the device is resumed. It isn't possible
296to suspend or resume some but not all of a device's interfaces. The
297closest you can come is to unbind the interfaces' drivers.
298
299
300 The driver interface for autosuspend and autoresume
301 ---------------------------------------------------
302
303To support autosuspend and autoresume, a driver should implement all
304three of the methods listed above. In addition, a driver indicates
305that it supports autosuspend by setting the .supports_autosuspend flag
306in its usb_driver structure. It is then responsible for informing the
307USB core whenever one of its interfaces becomes busy or idle. The
308driver does so by calling these three functions:
309
310 int usb_autopm_get_interface(struct usb_interface *intf);
311 void usb_autopm_put_interface(struct usb_interface *intf);
312 int usb_autopm_set_interface(struct usb_interface *intf);
313
314The functions work by maintaining a counter in the usb_interface
315structure. When intf->pm_usage_count is > 0 then the interface is
316deemed to be busy, and the kernel will not autosuspend the interface's
317device. When intf->pm_usage_count is <= 0 then the interface is
318considered to be idle, and the kernel may autosuspend the device.
319
320(There is a similar pm_usage_count field in struct usb_device,
321associated with the device itself rather than any of its interfaces.
322This field is used only by the USB core.)
323
324The driver owns intf->pm_usage_count; it can modify the value however
325and whenever it likes. A nice aspect of the usb_autopm_* routines is
326that the changes they make are protected by the usb_device structure's
327PM mutex (udev->pm_mutex); however drivers may change pm_usage_count
328without holding the mutex.
329
330 usb_autopm_get_interface() increments pm_usage_count and
331 attempts an autoresume if the new value is > 0 and the
332 device is suspended.
333
334 usb_autopm_put_interface() decrements pm_usage_count and
335 attempts an autosuspend if the new value is <= 0 and the
336 device isn't suspended.
337
338 usb_autopm_set_interface() leaves pm_usage_count alone.
339 It attempts an autoresume if the value is > 0 and the device
340 is suspended, and it attempts an autosuspend if the value is
341 <= 0 and the device isn't suspended.
342
343There also are a couple of utility routines drivers can use:
344
345 usb_autopm_enable() sets pm_usage_cnt to 1 and then calls
346 usb_autopm_set_interface(), which will attempt an autoresume.
347
348 usb_autopm_disable() sets pm_usage_cnt to 0 and then calls
349 usb_autopm_set_interface(), which will attempt an autosuspend.
350
351The conventional usage pattern is that a driver calls
352usb_autopm_get_interface() in its open routine and
353usb_autopm_put_interface() in its close or release routine. But
354other patterns are possible.
355
356The autosuspend attempts mentioned above will often fail for one
357reason or another. For example, the power/level attribute might be
358set to "on", or another interface in the same device might not be
359idle. This is perfectly normal. If the reason for failure was that
360the device hasn't been idle for long enough, a delayed workqueue
361routine is automatically set up to carry out the operation when the
362autosuspend idle-delay has expired.
363
364Autoresume attempts also can fail. This will happen if power/level is
365set to "suspend" or if the device doesn't manage to resume properly.
366Unlike autosuspend, there's no delay for an autoresume.
367
368
369 Other parts of the driver interface
370 -----------------------------------
371
372Sometimes a driver needs to make sure that remote wakeup is enabled
373during autosuspend. For example, there's not much point
374autosuspending a keyboard if the user can't cause the keyboard to do a
375remote wakeup by typing on it. If the driver sets
376intf->needs_remote_wakeup to 1, the kernel won't autosuspend the
377device if remote wakeup isn't available or has been disabled through
378the power/wakeup attribute. (If the device is already autosuspended,
379though, setting this flag won't cause the kernel to autoresume it.
380Normally a driver would set this flag in its probe method, at which
381time the device is guaranteed not to be autosuspended.)
382
383The usb_autopm_* routines have to run in a sleepable process context;
384they must not be called from an interrupt handler or while holding a
385spinlock. In fact, the entire autosuspend mechanism is not well geared
386toward interrupt-driven operation. However there is one thing a
387driver can do in an interrupt handler:
388
389 usb_mark_last_busy(struct usb_device *udev);
390
391This sets udev->last_busy to the current time. udev->last_busy is the
392field used for idle-delay calculations; updating it will cause any
393pending autosuspend to be moved back. The usb_autopm_* routines will
394also set the last_busy field to the current time.
395
396Calling urb_mark_last_busy() from within an URB completion handler is
397subject to races: The kernel may have just finished deciding the
398device has been idle for long enough but not yet gotten around to
399calling the driver's suspend method. The driver would have to be
400responsible for synchronizing its suspend method with its URB
401completion handler and causing the autosuspend to fail with -EBUSY if
402an URB had completed too recently.
403
404External suspend calls should never be allowed to fail in this way,
405only autosuspend calls. The driver can tell them apart by checking
406udev->auto_pm; this flag will be set to 1 for internal PM events
407(autosuspend or autoresume) and 0 for external PM events.
408
409Many of the ingredients in the autosuspend framework are oriented
410towards interfaces: The usb_interface structure contains the
411pm_usage_cnt field, and the usb_autopm_* routines take an interface
412pointer as their argument. But somewhat confusingly, a few of the
413pieces (usb_mark_last_busy() and udev->auto_pm) use the usb_device
414structure instead. Drivers need to keep this straight; they can call
415interface_to_usbdev() to find the device structure for a given
416interface.
417
418
419 Locking requirements
420 --------------------
421
422All three suspend/resume methods are always called while holding the
423usb_device's PM mutex. For external events -- but not necessarily for
424autosuspend or autoresume -- the device semaphore (udev->dev.sem) will
425also be held. This implies that external suspend/resume events are
426mutually exclusive with calls to probe, disconnect, pre_reset, and
427post_reset; the USB core guarantees that this is true of internal
428suspend/resume events as well.
429
430If a driver wants to block all suspend/resume calls during some
431critical section, it can simply acquire udev->pm_mutex.
432Alternatively, if the critical section might call some of the
433usb_autopm_* routines, the driver can avoid deadlock by doing:
434
435 down(&udev->dev.sem);
436 rc = usb_autopm_get_interface(intf);
437
438and at the end of the critical section:
439
440 if (!rc)
441 usb_autopm_put_interface(intf);
442 up(&udev->dev.sem);
443
444Holding the device semaphore will block all external PM calls, and the
445usb_autopm_get_interface() will prevent any internal PM calls, even if
446it fails. (Exercise: Why?)
447
448The rules for locking order are:
449
450 Never acquire any device semaphore while holding any PM mutex.
451
452 Never acquire udev->pm_mutex while holding the PM mutex for
453 a device that isn't a descendant of udev.
454
455In other words, PM mutexes should only be acquired going up the device
456tree, and they should be acquired only after locking all the device
457semaphores you need to hold. These rules don't matter to drivers very
458much; they usually affect just the USB core.
459
460Still, drivers do need to be careful. For example, many drivers use a
461private mutex to synchronize their normal I/O activities with their
462disconnect method. Now if the driver supports autosuspend then it
463must call usb_autopm_put_interface() from somewhere -- maybe from its
464close method. It should make the call while holding the private mutex,
465since a driver shouldn't call any of the usb_autopm_* functions for an
466interface from which it has been unbound.
467
468But the usb_autpm_* routines always acquire the device's PM mutex, and
469consequently the locking order has to be: private mutex first, PM
470mutex second. Since the suspend method is always called with the PM
471mutex held, it mustn't try to acquire the private mutex. It has to
472synchronize with the driver's I/O activities in some other way.
473
474
475 Interaction between dynamic PM and system PM
476 --------------------------------------------
477
478Dynamic power management and system power management can interact in
479a couple of ways.
480
481Firstly, a device may already be manually suspended or autosuspended
482when a system suspend occurs. Since system suspends are supposed to
483be as transparent as possible, the device should remain suspended
484following the system resume. The 2.6.23 kernel obeys this principle
485for manually suspended devices but not for autosuspended devices; they
486do get resumed when the system wakes up. (Presumably they will be
487autosuspended again after their idle-delay time expires.) In later
488kernels this behavior will be fixed.
489
490(There is an exception. If a device would undergo a reset-resume
491instead of a normal resume, and the device is enabled for remote
492wakeup, then the reset-resume takes place even if the device was
493already suspended when the system suspend began. The justification is
494that a reset-resume is a kind of remote-wakeup event. Or to put it
495another way, a device which needs a reset won't be able to generate
496normal remote-wakeup signals, so it ought to be resumed immediately.)
497
498Secondly, a dynamic power-management event may occur as a system
499suspend is underway. The window for this is short, since system
500suspends don't take long (a few seconds usually), but it can happen.
501For example, a suspended device may send a remote-wakeup signal while
502the system is suspending. The remote wakeup may succeed, which would
503cause the system suspend to abort. If the remote wakeup doesn't
504succeed, it may still remain active and thus cause the system to
505resume as soon as the system suspend is complete. Or the remote
506wakeup may fail and get lost. Which outcome occurs depends on timing
507and on the hardware and firmware design.
508
509More interestingly, a device might undergo a manual resume or
510autoresume during system suspend. With current kernels this shouldn't
511happen, because manual resumes must be initiated by userspace and
512autoresumes happen in response to I/O requests, but all user processes
513and I/O should be quiescent during a system suspend -- thanks to the
514freezer. However there are plans to do away with the freezer, which
515would mean these things would become possible. If and when this comes
516about, the USB core will carefully arrange matters so that either type
517of resume will block until the entire system has resumed.
