151 | This offers a similar API to the kernel clock framework. | ||
152 | Consumer drivers use <link | ||
153 | linkend='API-regulator-get'>get</link> and <link | ||
154 | linkend='API-regulator-put'>put</link> operations to acquire and | ||

158 | reguator and to get and set the runtime parameters of the | ||
159 | regulator. | ||
160 | </para> | ||
161 | <para> | ||
162 | When requesting regulators consumers use symbolic names for their | ||
163 | supplies, such as "Vcc", which are mapped into actual regulator | ||
164 | devices by the machine interface. | ||
165 | </para> | ||
166 | <para> | ||
167 | A stub version of this API is provided when the regulator | ||
168 | framework is not in use in order to minimise the need to use | ||

183 | <para> | ||
184 | Note that since multiple consumers may be using a regulator and | ||
185 | machine constraints may not allow the regulator to be disabled | ||
186 | there is no guarantee that calling | ||
187 | <function>regulator_disable</function> will actually cause the | ||
188 | supply provided by the regulator to be disabled. Consumer | ||
189 | drivers should assume that the regulator may be enabled at all | ||

198 | configure their supplies. For example, MMC drivers may need to | ||
199 | select the correct operating voltage for their cards. This may | ||
200 | be done while the regulator is enabled or disabled. | ||

207 | >regulator_set_current_limit</link> | ||
208 | </function> functions provide the primary interface for this. | ||
209 | Both take ranges of voltages and currents, supporting drivers | ||
210 | that do not require a specific value (eg, CPU frequency scaling | ||
211 | normally permits the CPU to use a wider range of supply | ||
212 | voltages at lower frequencies but does not require that the | ||
213 | supply voltage be lowered). Where an exact value is required | ||
214 | both minimum and maximum values should be identical. | ||

328 | Sometimes there is hardware with memory-like regions that can not be | ||
329 | mapped with the technique described here, but there are still ways to | ||
330 | access them from userspace. The most common example are x86 ioports. | ||
331 | On x86 systems, userspace can access these ioports using | ||
332 | <function>ioperm()</function>, <function>iopl()</function>, | ||

1 | RCU and Unloadable Modules | ||
2 | |||
3 | [Originally published in LWN Jan. 14, 2007: http://lwn.net/Articles/217484/] | ||
4 | |||
5 | RCU (read-copy update) is a synchronization mechanism that can be thought | ||
6 | of as a replacement for read-writer locking (among other things), but with | ||
7 | very low-overhead readers that are immune to deadlock, priority inversion, | ||
8 | and unbounded latency. RCU read-side critical sections are delimited | ||
9 | by rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock(), which, in non-CONFIG_PREEMPT | ||
10 | kernels, generate no code whatsoever. | ||
11 | |||
12 | This means that RCU writers are unaware of the presence of concurrent | ||
13 | readers, so that RCU updates to shared data must be undertaken quite | ||
14 | carefully, leaving an old version of the data structure in place until all | ||
15 | pre-existing readers have finished. These old versions are needed because | ||
16 | such readers might hold a reference to them. RCU updates can therefore be | ||
17 | rather expensive, and RCU is thus best suited for read-mostly situations. | ||
18 | |||
19 | How can an RCU writer possibly determine when all readers are finished, | ||
20 | given that readers might well leave absolutely no trace of their | ||
21 | presence? There is a synchronize_rcu() primitive that blocks until all | ||
22 | pre-existing readers have completed. An updater wishing to delete an | ||
23 | element p from a linked list might do the following, while holding an | ||
24 | appropriate lock, of course: | ||
25 | |||
26 | list_del_rcu(p); | ||
27 | synchronize_rcu(); | ||
28 | kfree(p); | ||
29 | |||
30 | But the above code cannot be used in IRQ context -- the call_rcu() | ||
31 | primitive must be used instead. This primitive takes a pointer to an | ||
32 | rcu_head struct placed within the RCU-protected data structure and | ||
33 | another pointer to a function that may be invoked later to free that | ||
34 | structure. Code to delete an element p from the linked list from IRQ | ||
35 | context might then be as follows: | ||
36 | |||
37 | list_del_rcu(p); | ||
38 | call_rcu(&p->rcu, p_callback); | ||
39 | |||
40 | Since call_rcu() never blocks, this code can safely be used from within | ||
41 | IRQ context. The function p_callback() might be defined as follows: | ||
42 | |||
43 | static void p_callback(struct rcu_head *rp) | ||
44 | { | ||
45 | struct pstruct *p = container_of(rp, struct pstruct, rcu); | ||
46 | |||
47 | kfree(p); | ||
48 | } | ||
49 | |||
50 | |||
51 | Unloading Modules That Use call_rcu() | ||
52 | |||
53 | But what if p_callback is defined in an unloadable module? | ||
54 | |||
55 | If we unload the module while some RCU callbacks are pending, | ||
56 | the CPUs executing these callbacks are going to be severely | ||
57 | disappointed when they are later invoked, as fancifully depicted at | ||
58 | http://lwn.net/images/ns/kernel/rcu-drop.jpg. | ||
59 | |||
60 | We could try placing a synchronize_rcu() in the module-exit code path, | ||
61 | but this is not sufficient. Although synchronize_rcu() does wait for a | ||
62 | grace period to elapse, it does not wait for the callbacks to complete. | ||
63 | |||
64 | One might be tempted to try several back-to-back synchronize_rcu() | ||
65 | calls, but this is still not guaranteed to work. If there is a very | ||
66 | heavy RCU-callback load, then some of the callbacks might be deferred | ||
67 | in order to allow other processing to proceed. Such deferral is required | ||
68 | in realtime kernels in order to avoid excessive scheduling latencies. | ||
69 | |||
70 | |||
71 | rcu_barrier() | ||
72 | |||
73 | We instead need the rcu_barrier() primitive. This primitive is similar | ||
74 | to synchronize_rcu(), but instead of waiting solely for a grace | ||
75 | period to elapse, it also waits for all outstanding RCU callbacks to | ||
76 | complete. Pseudo-code using rcu_barrier() is as follows: | ||
77 | |||
78 | 1. Prevent any new RCU callbacks from being posted. | ||
79 | 2. Execute rcu_barrier(). | ||
80 | 3. Allow the module to be unloaded. | ||
81 | |||
82 | Quick Quiz #1: Why is there no srcu_barrier()? | ||
83 | |||
84 | The rcutorture module makes use of rcu_barrier in its exit function | ||
85 | as follows: | ||
86 | |||
87 | 1 static void | ||
88 | 2 rcu_torture_cleanup(void) | ||
89 | 3 { | ||
90 | 4 int i; | ||
91 | 5 | ||
92 | 6 fullstop = 1; | ||
93 | 7 if (shuffler_task != NULL) { | ||
94 | 8 VERBOSE_PRINTK_STRING("Stopping rcu_torture_shuffle task"); | ||
95 | 9 kthread_stop(shuffler_task); | ||
96 | 10 } | ||
97 | 11 shuffler_task = NULL; | ||
98 | 12 | ||
99 | 13 if (writer_task != NULL) { | ||
100 | 14 VERBOSE_PRINTK_STRING("Stopping rcu_torture_writer task"); | ||
101 | 15 kthread_stop(writer_task); | ||
102 | 16 } | ||
103 | 17 writer_task = NULL; | ||
104 | 18 | ||
105 | 19 if (reader_tasks != NULL) { | ||
106 | 20 for (i = 0; i < nrealreaders; i++) { | ||
107 | 21 if (reader_tasks[i] != NULL) { | ||
108 | 22 VERBOSE_PRINTK_STRING( | ||
109 | 23 "Stopping rcu_torture_reader task"); | ||
110 | 24 kthread_stop(reader_tasks[i]); | ||
111 | 25 } | ||
112 | 26 reader_tasks[i] = NULL; | ||
113 | 27 } | ||
114 | 28 kfree(reader_tasks); | ||
115 | 29 reader_tasks = NULL; | ||
116 | 30 } | ||
117 | 31 rcu_torture_current = NULL; | ||
118 | 32 | ||
119 | 33 if (fakewriter_tasks != NULL) { | ||
120 | 34 for (i = 0; i < nfakewriters; i++) { | ||
121 | 35 if (fakewriter_tasks[i] != NULL) { | ||
122 | 36 VERBOSE_PRINTK_STRING( | ||
123 | 37 "Stopping rcu_torture_fakewriter task"); | ||
124 | 38 kthread_stop(fakewriter_tasks[i]); | ||
125 | 39 } | ||
126 | 40 fakewriter_tasks[i] = NULL; | ||
127 | 41 } | ||
128 | 42 kfree(fakewriter_tasks); | ||
129 | 43 fakewriter_tasks = NULL; | ||
130 | 44 } | ||
131 | 45 | ||
132 | 46 if (stats_task != NULL) { | ||
133 | 47 VERBOSE_PRINTK_STRING("Stopping rcu_torture_stats task"); | ||
134 | 48 kthread_stop(stats_task); | ||
135 | 49 } | ||
136 | 50 stats_task = NULL; | ||
137 | 51 | ||
138 | 52 /* Wait for all RCU callbacks to fire. */ | ||
139 | 53 rcu_barrier(); | ||
140 | 54 | ||
141 | 55 rcu_torture_stats_print(); /* -After- the stats thread is stopped! */ | ||
142 | 56 | ||
143 | 57 if (cur_ops->cleanup != NULL) | ||
144 | 58 cur_ops->cleanup(); | ||
145 | 59 if (atomic_read(&n_rcu_torture_error)) | ||
146 | 60 rcu_torture_print_module_parms("End of test: FAILURE"); | ||
147 | 61 else | ||
148 | 62 rcu_torture_print_module_parms("End of test: SUCCESS"); | ||
149 | 63 } | ||
150 | |||
151 | Line 6 sets a global variable that prevents any RCU callbacks from | ||
152 | re-posting themselves. This will not be necessary in most cases, since | ||
153 | RCU callbacks rarely include calls to call_rcu(). However, the rcutorture | ||
154 | module is an exception to this rule, and therefore needs to set this | ||
155 | global variable. | ||
156 | |||
157 | Lines 7-50 stop all the kernel tasks associated with the rcutorture | ||
158 | module. Therefore, once execution reaches line 53, no more rcutorture | ||
159 | RCU callbacks will be posted. The rcu_barrier() call on line 53 waits | ||
160 | for any pre-existing callbacks to complete. | ||
161 | |||
162 | Then lines 55-62 print status and do operation-specific cleanup, and | ||
163 | then return, permitting the module-unload operation to be completed. | ||
164 | |||
165 | Quick Quiz #2: Is there any other situation where rcu_barrier() might | ||
166 | be required? | ||
167 | |||
168 | Your module might have additional complications. For example, if your | ||
169 | module invokes call_rcu() from timers, you will need to first cancel all | ||
170 | the timers, and only then invoke rcu_barrier() to wait for any remaining | ||
171 | RCU callbacks to complete. | ||
172 | |||
173 | |||
174 | Implementing rcu_barrier() | ||
175 | |||
176 | Dipankar Sarma's implementation of rcu_barrier() makes use of the fact | ||
177 | that RCU callbacks are never reordered once queued on one of the per-CPU | ||
178 | queues. His implementation queues an RCU callback on each of the per-CPU | ||
179 | callback queues, and then waits until they have all started executing, at | ||
180 | which point, all earlier RCU callbacks are guaranteed to have completed. | ||
181 | |||
182 | The original code for rcu_barrier() was as follows: | ||
183 | |||
184 | 1 void rcu_barrier(void) | ||
185 | 2 { | ||
186 | 3 BUG_ON(in_interrupt()); | ||
187 | 4 /* Take cpucontrol mutex to protect against CPU hotplug */ | ||
188 | 5 mutex_lock(&rcu_barrier_mutex); | ||
189 | 6 init_completion(&rcu_barrier_completion); | ||
190 | 7 atomic_set(&rcu_barrier_cpu_count, 0); | ||
191 | 8 on_each_cpu(rcu_barrier_func, NULL, 0, 1); | ||
192 | 9 wait_for_completion(&rcu_barrier_completion); | ||
193 | 10 mutex_unlock(&rcu_barrier_mutex); | ||
194 | 11 } | ||
195 | |||
196 | Line 3 verifies that the caller is in process context, and lines 5 and 10 | ||
197 | use rcu_barrier_mutex to ensure that only one rcu_barrier() is using the | ||
198 | global completion and counters at a time, which are initialized on lines | ||
199 | 6 and 7. Line 8 causes each CPU to invoke rcu_barrier_func(), which is | ||
200 | shown below. Note that the final "1" in on_each_cpu()'s argument list | ||
201 | ensures that all the calls to rcu_barrier_func() will have completed | ||
202 | before on_each_cpu() returns. Line 9 then waits for the completion. | ||
203 | |||
204 | This code was rewritten in 2008 to support rcu_barrier_bh() and | ||
205 | rcu_barrier_sched() in addition to the original rcu_barrier(). | ||
206 | |||
207 | The rcu_barrier_func() runs on each CPU, where it invokes call_rcu() | ||
208 | to post an RCU callback, as follows: | ||
209 | |||
210 | 1 static void rcu_barrier_func(void *notused) | ||
211 | 2 { | ||
212 | 3 int cpu = smp_processor_id(); | ||
213 | 4 struct rcu_data *rdp = &per_cpu(rcu_data, cpu); | ||
214 | 5 struct rcu_head *head; | ||
215 | 6 | ||
216 | 7 head = &rdp->barrier; | ||
217 | 8 atomic_inc(&rcu_barrier_cpu_count); | ||
218 | 9 call_rcu(head, rcu_barrier_callback); | ||
219 | 10 } | ||
220 | |||
221 | Lines 3 and 4 locate RCU's internal per-CPU rcu_data structure, | ||
222 | which contains the struct rcu_head that needed for the later call to | ||
223 | call_rcu(). Line 7 picks up a pointer to this struct rcu_head, and line | ||
224 | 8 increments a global counter. This counter will later be decremented | ||
225 | by the callback. Line 9 then registers the rcu_barrier_callback() on | ||
226 | the current CPU's queue. | ||
227 | |||
228 | The rcu_barrier_callback() function simply atomically decrements the | ||
229 | rcu_barrier_cpu_count variable and finalizes the completion when it | ||
230 | reaches zero, as follows: | ||
231 | |||
232 | 1 static void rcu_barrier_callback(struct rcu_head *notused) | ||
233 | 2 { | ||
234 | 3 if (atomic_dec_and_test(&rcu_barrier_cpu_count)) | ||
235 | 4 complete(&rcu_barrier_completion); | ||
236 | 5 } | ||
237 | |||
238 | Quick Quiz #3: What happens if CPU 0's rcu_barrier_func() executes | ||
239 | immediately (thus incrementing rcu_barrier_cpu_count to the | ||
240 | value one), but the other CPU's rcu_barrier_func() invocations | ||
241 | are delayed for a full grace period? Couldn't this result in | ||
242 | rcu_barrier() returning prematurely? | ||
243 | |||
244 | |||
245 | rcu_barrier() Summary | ||
246 | |||
247 | The rcu_barrier() primitive has seen relatively little use, since most | ||
248 | code using RCU is in the core kernel rather than in modules. However, if | ||
249 | you are using RCU from an unloadable module, you need to use rcu_barrier() | ||
250 | so that your module may be safely unloaded. | ||
251 | |||
252 | |||
253 | Answers to Quick Quizzes | ||
254 | |||
255 | Quick Quiz #1: Why is there no srcu_barrier()? | ||
256 | |||
257 | Answer: Since there is no call_srcu(), there can be no outstanding SRCU | ||
258 | callbacks. Therefore, there is no need to wait for them. | ||
259 | |||
260 | Quick Quiz #2: Is there any other situation where rcu_barrier() might | ||
261 | be required? | ||
262 | |||
263 | Answer: Interestingly enough, rcu_barrier() was not originally | ||
264 | implemented for module unloading. Nikita Danilov was using | ||
265 | RCU in a filesystem, which resulted in a similar situation at | ||
266 | filesystem-unmount time. Dipankar Sarma coded up rcu_barrier() | ||
267 | in response, so that Nikita could invoke it during the | ||
268 | filesystem-unmount process. | ||
269 | |||
270 | Much later, yours truly hit the RCU module-unload problem when | ||
271 | implementing rcutorture, and found that rcu_barrier() solves | ||
272 | this problem as well. | ||
273 | |||
274 | Quick Quiz #3: What happens if CPU 0's rcu_barrier_func() executes | ||
275 | immediately (thus incrementing rcu_barrier_cpu_count to the | ||
276 | value one), but the other CPU's rcu_barrier_func() invocations | ||
277 | are delayed for a full grace period? Couldn't this result in | ||
278 | rcu_barrier() returning prematurely? | ||
279 | |||
280 | Answer: This cannot happen. The reason is that on_each_cpu() has its last | ||
281 | argument, the wait flag, set to "1". This flag is passed through | ||
282 | to smp_call_function() and further to smp_call_function_on_cpu(), | ||
283 | causing this latter to spin until the cross-CPU invocation of | ||
284 | rcu_barrier_func() has completed. This by itself would prevent | ||
285 | a grace period from completing on non-CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels, | ||
286 | since each CPU must undergo a context switch (or other quiescent | ||
287 | state) before the grace period can complete. However, this is | ||
288 | of no use in CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels. | ||
289 | |||
290 | Therefore, on_each_cpu() disables preemption across its call | ||
291 | to smp_call_function() and also across the local call to | ||
292 | rcu_barrier_func(). This prevents the local CPU from context | ||
293 | switching, again preventing grace periods from completing. This | ||
294 | means that all CPUs have executed rcu_barrier_func() before | ||
295 | the first rcu_barrier_callback() can possibly execute, in turn | ||
296 | preventing rcu_barrier_cpu_count from prematurely reaching zero. | ||
297 | |||
298 | Currently, -rt implementations of RCU keep but a single global | ||
299 | queue for RCU callbacks, and thus do not suffer from this | ||
300 | problem. However, when the -rt RCU eventually does have per-CPU | ||
301 | callback queues, things will have to change. One simple change | ||
302 | is to add an rcu_read_lock() before line 8 of rcu_barrier() | ||
303 | and an rcu_read_unlock() after line 8 of this same function. If | ||
304 | you can think of a better change, please let me know! | ||

5 | How to deal with bad memory e.g. reported by memtest86+ ? | ||
6 | ######################################################### | ||
7 | |||
8 | There are three possibilities I know of: | ||
9 | |||
10 | 1) Reinsert/swap the memory modules | ||
11 | |||
12 | 2) Buy new modules (best!) or try to exchange the memory | ||
13 | if you have spare-parts | ||
14 | |||
15 | 3) Use BadRAM or memmap | ||
16 | |||
17 | This Howto is about number 3) . | ||
18 | |||
19 | |||
20 | BadRAM | ||
21 | ###### | ||
22 | BadRAM is the actively developed and available as kernel-patch | ||
23 | here: http://rick.vanrein.org/linux/badram/ | ||
24 | |||
25 | For more details see the BadRAM documentation. | ||
26 | |||
27 | memmap | ||
28 | ###### | ||
29 | |||
30 | memmap is already in the kernel and usable as kernel-parameter at | ||
31 | boot-time. Its syntax is slightly strange and you may need to | ||
32 | calculate the values by yourself! | ||
33 | |||
34 | Syntax to exclude a memory area (see kernel-parameters.txt for details): | ||
35 | memmap=<size>$<address> | ||
36 | |||
37 | Example: memtest86+ reported here errors at address 0x18691458, 0x18698424 and | ||
38 | some others. All had 0x1869xxxx in common, so I chose a pattern of | ||

20 | 1. Blackfin GPIO introduction | ||
21 | |||
22 | There are many GPIO pins on Blackfin. Most of these pins are muxed to | ||
23 | multi-functions. They can be configured as peripheral, or just as GPIO, | ||
24 | configured to input with interrupt enabled, or output. | ||
25 | |||
26 | For detailed information, please see "arch/blackfin/kernel/bfin_gpio.c", | ||
27 | or the relevant HRM. | ||
28 | |||
29 | |||
30 | 2. Avoiding resource conflict | ||
31 | |||
32 | Followed function groups are used to avoiding resource conflict, | ||
33 | - Use the pin as peripheral, | ||
34 | int peripheral_request(unsigned short per, const char *label); | ||
35 | int peripheral_request_list(const unsigned short per[], const char *label); | ||
36 | void peripheral_free(unsigned short per); | ||
37 | void peripheral_free_list(const unsigned short per[]); | ||
38 | - Use the pin as GPIO, | ||
39 | int bfin_gpio_request(unsigned gpio, const char *label); | ||
40 | void bfin_gpio_free(unsigned gpio); | ||
41 | - Use the pin as GPIO interrupt, | ||
42 | int bfin_gpio_irq_request(unsigned gpio, const char *label); | ||
43 | void bfin_gpio_irq_free(unsigned gpio); | ||
44 | |||
45 | The request functions will record the function state for a certain pin, | ||
46 | the free functions will clear it's function state. | ||
47 | Once a pin is requested, it can't be requested again before it is freed by | ||
48 | previous caller, otherwise kernel will dump stacks, and the request | ||
49 | function fail. | ||
50 | These functions are wrapped by other functions, most of the users need not | ||
51 | care. | ||
52 | |||
53 | |||
54 | 3. But there are some exceptions | ||
55 | - Kernel permit the identical GPIO be requested both as GPIO and GPIO | ||
56 | interrut. | ||
57 | Some drivers, like gpio-keys, need this behavior. Kernel only print out | ||
58 | warning messages like, | ||
59 | bfin-gpio: GPIO 24 is already reserved by gpio-keys: BTN0, and you are | ||
60 | configuring it as IRQ! | ||
61 | |||
62 | Note: Consider the case that, if there are two drivers need the | ||
63 | identical GPIO, one of them use it as GPIO, the other use it as | ||
64 | GPIO interrupt. This will really cause resource conflict. So if | ||
65 | there is any abnormal driver behavior, please check the bfin-gpio | ||
66 | warning messages. | ||
67 | |||
68 | - Kernel permit the identical GPIO be requested from the same driver twice. | ||
69 | |||

1 | Memory Resource Controller(Memcg) Implementation Memo. | ||
2 | Last Updated: 2008/12/15 | ||
3 | Base Kernel Version: based on 2.6.28-rc8-mm. | ||
4 | |||
5 | Because VM is getting complex (one of reasons is memcg...), memcg's behavior | ||
6 | is complex. This is a document for memcg's internal behavior. | ||
7 | Please note that implementation details can be changed. | ||
8 | |||
9 | (*) Topics on API should be in Documentation/controllers/memory.txt) | ||
10 | |||
11 | 0. How to record usage ? | ||
12 | 2 objects are used. | ||
13 | |||
14 | page_cgroup ....an object per page. | ||
15 | Allocated at boot or memory hotplug. Freed at memory hot removal. | ||
16 | |||
17 | swap_cgroup ... an entry per swp_entry. | ||
18 | Allocated at swapon(). Freed at swapoff(). | ||
19 | |||
20 | The page_cgroup has USED bit and double count against a page_cgroup never | ||
21 | occurs. swap_cgroup is used only when a charged page is swapped-out. | ||
22 | |||
23 | 1. Charge | ||
24 | |||
25 | a page/swp_entry may be charged (usage += PAGE_SIZE) at | ||
26 | |||
27 | mem_cgroup_newpage_charge() | ||
28 | Called at new page fault and Copy-On-Write. | ||
29 | |||
30 | mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin() | ||
31 | Called at do_swap_page() (page fault on swap entry) and swapoff. | ||
32 | Followed by charge-commit-cancel protocol. (With swap accounting) | ||
33 | At commit, a charge recorded in swap_cgroup is removed. | ||
34 | |||
35 | mem_cgroup_cache_charge() | ||
36 | Called at add_to_page_cache() | ||
37 | |||
38 | mem_cgroup_cache_charge_swapin() | ||
39 | Called at shmem's swapin. | ||
40 | |||
41 | mem_cgroup_prepare_migration() | ||
42 | Called before migration. "extra" charge is done and followed by | ||
43 | charge-commit-cancel protocol. | ||
44 | At commit, charge against oldpage or newpage will be committed. | ||
45 | |||
46 | 2. Uncharge | ||
47 | a page/swp_entry may be uncharged (usage -= PAGE_SIZE) by | ||
48 | |||
49 | mem_cgroup_uncharge_page() | ||
50 | Called when an anonymous page is fully unmapped. I.e., mapcount goes | ||
51 | to 0. If the page is SwapCache, uncharge is delayed until | ||
52 | mem_cgroup_uncharge_swapcache(). | ||
53 | |||
54 | mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page() | ||
55 | Called when a page-cache is deleted from radix-tree. If the page is | ||
56 | SwapCache, uncharge is delayed until mem_cgroup_uncharge_swapcache(). | ||
57 | |||
58 | mem_cgroup_uncharge_swapcache() | ||
59 | Called when SwapCache is removed from radix-tree. The charge itself | ||
60 | is moved to swap_cgroup. (If mem+swap controller is disabled, no | ||
61 | charge to swap occurs.) | ||
62 | |||
63 | mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap() | ||
64 | Called when swp_entry's refcnt goes down to 0. A charge against swap | ||
65 | disappears. | ||
66 | |||
67 | mem_cgroup_end_migration(old, new) | ||
68 | At success of migration old is uncharged (if necessary), a charge | ||
69 | to new page is committed. At failure, charge to old page is committed. | ||
70 | |||
71 | 3. charge-commit-cancel | ||
72 | In some case, we can't know this "charge" is valid or not at charging | ||
73 | (because of races). | ||
74 | To handle such case, there are charge-commit-cancel functions. | ||
75 | mem_cgroup_try_charge_XXX | ||
76 | mem_cgroup_commit_charge_XXX | ||
77 | mem_cgroup_cancel_charge_XXX | ||
78 | these are used in swap-in and migration. | ||
79 | |||
80 | At try_charge(), there are no flags to say "this page is charged". | ||
81 | at this point, usage += PAGE_SIZE. | ||
82 | |||
83 | At commit(), the function checks the page should be charged or not | ||
84 | and set flags or avoid charging.(usage -= PAGE_SIZE) | ||
85 | |||
86 | At cancel(), simply usage -= PAGE_SIZE. | ||
87 | |||
88 | Under below explanation, we assume CONFIG_MEM_RES_CTRL_SWAP=y. | ||
89 | |||
90 | 4. Anonymous | ||
91 | Anonymous page is newly allocated at | ||
92 | - page fault into MAP_ANONYMOUS mapping. | ||
93 | - Copy-On-Write. | ||
94 | It is charged right after it's allocated before doing any page table | ||
95 | related operations. Of course, it's uncharged when another page is used | ||
96 | for the fault address. | ||
97 | |||
98 | At freeing anonymous page (by exit() or munmap()), zap_pte() is called | ||
99 | and pages for ptes are freed one by one.(see mm/memory.c). Uncharges | ||
100 | are done at page_remove_rmap() when page_mapcount() goes down to 0. | ||
101 | |||
102 | Another page freeing is by page-reclaim (vmscan.c) and anonymous | ||
103 | pages are swapped out. In this case, the page is marked as | ||
104 | PageSwapCache(). uncharge() routine doesn't uncharge the page marked | ||
105 | as SwapCache(). It's delayed until __delete_from_swap_cache(). | ||
106 | |||
107 | 4.1 Swap-in. | ||
108 | At swap-in, the page is taken from swap-cache. There are 2 cases. | ||
109 | |||
110 | (a) If the SwapCache is newly allocated and read, it has no charges. | ||
111 | (b) If the SwapCache has been mapped by processes, it has been | ||
112 | charged already. | ||
113 | |||
114 | This swap-in is one of the most complicated work. In do_swap_page(), | ||
115 | following events occur when pte is unchanged. | ||
116 | |||
117 | (1) the page (SwapCache) is looked up. | ||
118 | (2) lock_page() | ||
119 | (3) try_charge_swapin() | ||
120 | (4) reuse_swap_page() (may call delete_swap_cache()) | ||
121 | (5) commit_charge_swapin() | ||
122 | (6) swap_free(). | ||
123 | |||
124 | Considering following situation for example. | ||
125 | |||
126 | (A) The page has not been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page() | ||
127 | doesn't call delete_from_swap_cache(). | ||
128 | (B) The page has not been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page() | ||
129 | calls delete_from_swap_cache(). | ||
130 | (C) The page has been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page() doesn't | ||
131 | call delete_from_swap_cache(). | ||
132 | (D) The page has been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page() calls | ||
133 | delete_from_swap_cache(). | ||
134 | |||
135 | memory.usage/memsw.usage changes to this page/swp_entry will be | ||
136 | Case (A) (B) (C) (D) | ||
137 | Event | ||
138 | Before (2) 0/ 1 0/ 1 1/ 1 1/ 1 | ||
139 | =========================================== | ||
140 | (3) +1/+1 +1/+1 +1/+1 +1/+1 | ||
141 | (4) - 0/ 0 - -1/ 0 | ||
142 | (5) 0/-1 0/ 0 -1/-1 0/ 0 | ||
143 | (6) - 0/-1 - 0/-1 | ||
144 | =========================================== | ||
145 | Result 1/ 1 1/ 1 1/ 1 1/ 1 | ||
146 | |||
147 | In any cases, charges to this page should be 1/ 1. | ||
148 | |||
149 | 4.2 Swap-out. | ||
150 | At swap-out, typical state transition is below. | ||
151 | |||
152 | (a) add to swap cache. (marked as SwapCache) | ||
153 | swp_entry's refcnt += 1. | ||
154 | (b) fully unmapped. | ||
155 | swp_entry's refcnt += # of ptes. | ||
156 | (c) write back to swap. | ||
157 | (d) delete from swap cache. (remove from SwapCache) | ||
158 | swp_entry's refcnt -= 1. | ||
159 | |||
160 | |||
161 | At (b), the page is marked as SwapCache and not uncharged. | ||
162 | At (d), the page is removed from SwapCache and a charge in page_cgroup | ||
163 | is moved to swap_cgroup. | ||
164 | |||
165 | Finally, at task exit, | ||
166 | (e) zap_pte() is called and swp_entry's refcnt -=1 -> 0. | ||
167 | Here, a charge in swap_cgroup disappears. | ||
168 | |||
169 | 5. Page Cache | ||
170 | Page Cache is charged at | ||
171 | - add_to_page_cache_locked(). | ||
172 | |||
173 | uncharged at | ||
174 | - __remove_from_page_cache(). | ||
175 | |||
176 | The logic is very clear. (About migration, see below) | ||
177 | Note: __remove_from_page_cache() is called by remove_from_page_cache() | ||
178 | and __remove_mapping(). | ||
179 | |||
180 | 6. Shmem(tmpfs) Page Cache | ||
181 | Memcg's charge/uncharge have special handlers of shmem. The best way | ||
182 | to understand shmem's page state transition is to read mm/shmem.c. | ||
183 | But brief explanation of the behavior of memcg around shmem will be | ||
184 | helpful to understand the logic. | ||
185 | |||
186 | Shmem's page (just leaf page, not direct/indirect block) can be on | ||
187 | - radix-tree of shmem's inode. | ||
188 | - SwapCache. | ||
189 | - Both on radix-tree and SwapCache. This happens at swap-in | ||
190 | and swap-out, | ||
191 | |||
192 | It's charged when... | ||
193 | - A new page is added to shmem's radix-tree. | ||
194 | - A swp page is read. (move a charge from swap_cgroup to page_cgroup) | ||
195 | It's uncharged when | ||
196 | - A page is removed from radix-tree and not SwapCache. | ||
197 | - When SwapCache is removed, a charge is moved to swap_cgroup. | ||
198 | - When swp_entry's refcnt goes down to 0, a charge in swap_cgroup | ||
199 | disappears. | ||
200 | |||
201 | 7. Page Migration | ||
202 | One of the most complicated functions is page-migration-handler. | ||
203 | Memcg has 2 routines. Assume that we are migrating a page's contents | ||
204 | from OLDPAGE to NEWPAGE. | ||
205 | |||
206 | Usual migration logic is.. | ||
207 | (a) remove the page from LRU. | ||
208 | (b) allocate NEWPAGE (migration target) | ||
209 | (c) lock by lock_page(). | ||
210 | (d) unmap all mappings. | ||
211 | (e-1) If necessary, replace entry in radix-tree. | ||
212 | (e-2) move contents of a page. | ||
213 | (f) map all mappings again. | ||
214 | (g) pushback the page to LRU. | ||
215 | (-) OLDPAGE will be freed. | ||
216 | |||
217 | Before (g), memcg should complete all necessary charge/uncharge to | ||
218 | NEWPAGE/OLDPAGE. | ||
219 | |||
220 | The point is.... | ||
221 | - If OLDPAGE is anonymous, all charges will be dropped at (d) because | ||
222 | try_to_unmap() drops all mapcount and the page will not be | ||
223 | SwapCache. | ||
224 | |||
225 | - If OLDPAGE is SwapCache, charges will be kept at (g) because | ||
226 | __delete_from_swap_cache() isn't called at (e-1) | ||
227 | |||
228 | - If OLDPAGE is page-cache, charges will be kept at (g) because | ||
229 | remove_from_swap_cache() isn't called at (e-1) | ||
230 | |||
231 | memcg provides following hooks. | ||
232 | |||
233 | - mem_cgroup_prepare_migration(OLDPAGE) | ||
234 | Called after (b) to account a charge (usage += PAGE_SIZE) against | ||
235 | memcg which OLDPAGE belongs to. | ||
236 | |||
237 | - mem_cgroup_end_migration(OLDPAGE, NEWPAGE) | ||
238 | Called after (f) before (g). | ||
239 | If OLDPAGE is used, commit OLDPAGE again. If OLDPAGE is already | ||
240 | charged, a charge by prepare_migration() is automatically canceled. | ||
241 | If NEWPAGE is used, commit NEWPAGE and uncharge OLDPAGE. | ||
242 | |||
243 | But zap_pte() (by exit or munmap) can be called while migration, | ||
244 | we have to check if OLDPAGE/NEWPAGE is a valid page after commit(). | ||
245 | |||
246 | 8. LRU | ||
247 | Each memcg has its own private LRU. Now, it's handling is under global | ||
248 | VM's control (means that it's handled under global zone->lru_lock). | ||
249 | Almost all routines around memcg's LRU is called by global LRU's | ||
250 | list management functions under zone->lru_lock(). | ||
251 | |||
252 | A special function is mem_cgroup_isolate_pages(). This scans | ||
253 | memcg's private LRU and call __isolate_lru_page() to extract a page | ||
254 | from LRU. | ||
255 | (By __isolate_lru_page(), the page is removed from both of global and | ||
256 | private LRU.) | ||
257 | |||
258 | |||
259 | 9. Typical Tests. | ||
260 | |||
261 | Tests for racy cases. | ||
262 | |||
263 | 9.1 Small limit to memcg. | ||
264 | When you do test to do racy case, it's good test to set memcg's limit | ||
265 | to be very small rather than GB. Many races found in the test under | ||
266 | xKB or xxMB limits. | ||
267 | (Memory behavior under GB and Memory behavior under MB shows very | ||
268 | different situation.) | ||
269 | |||
270 | 9.2 Shmem | ||
271 | Historically, memcg's shmem handling was poor and we saw some amount | ||
272 | of troubles here. This is because shmem is page-cache but can be | ||
273 | SwapCache. Test with shmem/tmpfs is always good test. | ||
274 | |||
275 | 9.3 Migration | ||
276 | For NUMA, migration is an another special case. To do easy test, cpuset | ||
277 | is useful. Following is a sample script to do migration. | ||
278 | |||
279 | mount -t cgroup -o cpuset none /opt/cpuset | ||
280 | |||
281 | mkdir /opt/cpuset/01 | ||
282 | echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/01/cpuset.cpus | ||
283 | echo 0 > /opt/cpuset/01/cpuset.mems | ||
284 | echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/01/cpuset.memory_migrate | ||
285 | mkdir /opt/cpuset/02 | ||
286 | echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/02/cpuset.cpus | ||
287 | echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/02/cpuset.mems | ||
288 | echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/02/cpuset.memory_migrate | ||
289 | |||
290 | In above set, when you moves a task from 01 to 02, page migration to | ||
291 | node 0 to node 1 will occur. Following is a script to migrate all | ||
292 | under cpuset. | ||
293 | -- | ||
294 | move_task() | ||
295 | { | ||
296 | for pid in $1 | ||
297 | do | ||
298 | /bin/echo $pid >$2/tasks 2>/dev/null | ||
299 | echo -n $pid | ||
300 | echo -n " " | ||
301 | done | ||
302 | echo END | ||
303 | } | ||
304 | |||
305 | G1_TASK=`cat ${G1}/tasks` | ||
306 | G2_TASK=`cat ${G2}/tasks` | ||
307 | move_task "${G1_TASK}" ${G2} & | ||
308 | -- | ||
309 | 9.4 Memory hotplug. | ||
310 | memory hotplug test is one of good test. | ||
311 | to offline memory, do following. | ||
312 | # echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state | ||
313 | (XXX is the place of memory) | ||
314 | This is an easy way to test page migration, too. | ||
315 | |||
316 | 9.5 mkdir/rmdir | ||
317 | When using hierarchy, mkdir/rmdir test should be done. | ||
318 | Use tests like the following. | ||
319 | |||
320 | echo 1 >/opt/cgroup/01/memory/use_hierarchy | ||
321 | mkdir /opt/cgroup/01/child_a | ||
322 | mkdir /opt/cgroup/01/child_b | ||
323 | |||
324 | set limit to 01. | ||
325 | add limit to 01/child_b | ||
326 | run jobs under child_a and child_b | ||
327 | |||
328 | create/delete following groups at random while jobs are running. | ||

330 | /opt/cgroup/01/child_b/child_bb | ||
331 | /opt/cgroup/01/child_c | ||
332 | |||
333 | running new jobs in new group is also good. | ||
334 | |||
335 | 9.6 Mount with other subsystems. | ||

337 | race and lock dependency with other cgroup subsystems. | ||

141 | When you do swapoff and make swapped-out pages of shmem(tmpfs) to | ||

144 | |||
145 | |||
146 | 2.4 Swap Extension (CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP) | ||
147 | Swap Extension allows you to record charge for swap. A swapped-in page is | ||
148 | charged back to original page allocator if possible. | ||
149 | |||
150 | When swap is accounted, following files are added. | ||

154 | usage of mem+swap is limited by memsw.limit_in_bytes. | ||
155 | |||
156 | Note: why 'mem+swap' rather than swap. | ||
157 | The global LRU(kswapd) can swap out arbitrary pages. Swap-out means | ||
158 | to move account from memory to swap...there is no change in usage of | ||
159 | mem+swap. | ||
160 | |||
161 | In other words, when we want to limit the usage of swap without affecting | ||

274 | 5. Misc. interfaces. | ||
275 | |||
276 | 5.1 force_empty | ||
277 | memory.force_empty interface is provided to make cgroup's memory usage empty. | ||
278 | You can use this interface only when the cgroup has no tasks. | ||
279 | When writing anything to this | ||
280 | |||
281 | # echo 0 > memory.force_empty | ||
282 | |||
283 | Almost all pages tracked by this memcg will be unmapped and freed. Some of | ||
284 | pages cannot be freed because it's locked or in-use. Such pages are moved | ||
285 | to parent and this cgroup will be empty. But this may return -EBUSY in | ||
286 | some too busy case. | ||
287 | |||
288 | Typical use case of this interface is that calling this before rmdir(). | ||
289 | Because rmdir() moves all pages to parent, some out-of-use page caches can be | ||
290 | moved to the parent. If you want to avoid that, force_empty will be useful. | ||
291 | |||
292 | 5.2 stat file | ||

317 | 5.3 swappiness | ||
318 | Similar to /proc/sys/vm/swappiness, but affecting a hierarchy of groups only. | ||
319 | |||
320 | Following cgroup's swapiness can't be changed. | ||
321 | - root cgroup (uses /proc/sys/vm/swappiness). | ||
322 | - a cgroup which uses hierarchy and it has child cgroup. | ||
323 | - a cgroup which uses hierarchy and not the root of hierarchy. | ||
324 | |||
325 | |||
326 | 6. Hierarchy support | ||
327 | |||
328 | The memory controller supports a deep hierarchy and hierarchical accounting. | ||
329 | The hierarchy is created by creating the appropriate cgroups in the | ||
330 | cgroup filesystem. Consider for example, the following cgroup filesystem | ||
331 | hierarchy | ||
332 | |||
333 | root | ||
334 | / | \ | ||
335 | / | \ | ||
336 | a b c | ||
337 | | \ | ||
338 | | \ | ||
339 | d e | ||
340 | |||
341 | In the diagram above, with hierarchical accounting enabled, all memory | ||
342 | usage of e, is accounted to its ancestors up until the root (i.e, c and root), | ||
343 | that has memory.use_hierarchy enabled. If one of the ancestors goes over its | ||
344 | limit, the reclaim algorithm reclaims from the tasks in the ancestor and the | ||
345 | children of the ancestor. | ||
346 | |||
347 | 6.1 Enabling hierarchical accounting and reclaim | ||
348 | |||
349 | The memory controller by default disables the hierarchy feature. Support | ||
350 | can be enabled by writing 1 to memory.use_hierarchy file of the root cgroup | ||
351 | |||
352 | # echo 1 > memory.use_hierarchy | ||
353 | |||
354 | The feature can be disabled by | ||
355 | |||
356 | # echo 0 > memory.use_hierarchy | ||
357 | |||
358 | NOTE1: Enabling/disabling will fail if the cgroup already has other | ||
359 | cgroups created below it. | ||
360 | |||

21 | Description | ||
22 | ----------- | ||
23 | |||
24 | Fintek F718xxFG/F8000 Super I/O chips include complete hardware monitoring | ||
25 | capabilities. They can monitor up to 9 voltages (3 for the F8000), 4 fans and | ||
26 | 3 temperature sensors. | ||
27 | |||
28 | These chips also have fan controlling features, using either DC or PWM, in | ||
29 | three different modes (one manual, two automatic). | ||
30 | |||
31 | The driver assumes that no more than one chip is present, which seems | ||
32 | reasonable. | ||
33 | |||
34 | |||
35 | Monitoring | ||
36 | ---------- | ||
37 | |||
38 | The Voltage, Fan and Temperature Monitoring uses the standard sysfs | ||
39 | interface as documented in sysfs-interface, without any exceptions. | ||
40 | |||
41 | |||
42 | Fan Control | ||
43 | ----------- | ||
44 | |||
45 | Both PWM (pulse-width modulation) and DC fan speed control methods are | ||
46 | supported. The right one to use depends on external circuitry on the | ||
47 | motherboard, so the driver assumes that the BIOS set the method | ||
48 | properly. | ||
49 | |||
50 | There are 2 modes to specify the speed of the fan, PWM duty cycle (or DC | ||
51 | voltage) mode, where 0-100% duty cycle (0-100% of 12V) is specified. And RPM | ||
52 | mode where the actual RPM of the fan (as measured) is controlled and the speed | ||
53 | gets specified as 0-100% of the fan#_full_speed file. | ||
54 | |||
55 | Since both modes work in a 0-100% (mapped to 0-255) scale, there isn't a | ||
56 | whole lot of a difference when modifying fan control settings. The only | ||
57 | important difference is that in RPM mode the 0-100% controls the fan speed | ||
58 | between 0-100% of fan#_full_speed. It is assumed that if the BIOS programs | ||
59 | RPM mode, it will also set fan#_full_speed properly, if it does not then | ||
60 | fan control will not work properly, unless you set a sane fan#_full_speed | ||
61 | value yourself. | ||
62 | |||
63 | Switching between these modes requires re-initializing a whole bunch of | ||
64 | registers, so the mode which the BIOS has set is kept. The mode is | ||
65 | printed when loading the driver. | ||
66 | |||
67 | Three different fan control modes are supported; the mode number is written | ||
68 | to the pwm#_enable file. Note that not all modes are supported on all | ||
69 | chips, and some modes may only be available in RPM / PWM mode on the F8000. | ||
70 | Writing an unsupported mode will result in an invalid parameter error. | ||
71 | |||
72 | * 1: Manual mode | ||
73 | You ask for a specific PWM duty cycle / DC voltage or a specific % of | ||
74 | fan#_full_speed by writing to the pwm# file. This mode is only | ||
75 | available on the F8000 if the fan channel is in RPM mode. | ||
76 | |||
77 | * 2: Normal auto mode | ||
78 | You can define a number of temperature/fan speed trip points, which % the | ||
79 | fan should run at at this temp and which temp a fan should follow using the | ||
80 | standard sysfs interface. The number and type of trip points is chip | ||
81 | depended, see which files are available in sysfs. | ||
82 | Fan/PWM channel 3 of the F8000 is always in this mode! | ||
83 | |||
84 | * 3: Thermostat mode (Only available on the F8000 when in duty cycle mode) | ||
85 | The fan speed is regulated to keep the temp the fan is mapped to between | ||
86 | temp#_auto_point2_temp and temp#_auto_point3_temp. | ||
87 | |||
88 | Both of the automatic modes require that pwm1 corresponds to fan1, pwm2 to | ||
89 | fan2 and pwm3 to fan3. | ||

12 | |||
13 | |||
14 | Description | ||
15 | ----------- | ||
16 | |||
17 | The LTC4245 controller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed | ||
18 | from a live backplane in multiple supply systems such as CompactPCI and | ||
19 | PCI Express. | ||
20 | |||
21 | |||
22 | Usage Notes | ||
23 | ----------- | ||
24 | |||
25 | This driver does not probe for LTC4245 devices, due to the fact that some | ||
26 | of the possible addresses are unfriendly to probing. You will need to use | ||
27 | the "force" parameter to tell the driver where to find the device. | ||
28 | |||
29 | Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4245 at address 0x23 | ||
30 | on I2C bus #1: | ||
31 | $ modprobe ltc4245 force=1,0x23 | ||
32 | |||
33 | |||
34 | Sysfs entries | ||
35 | ------------- | ||
36 | |||
37 | The LTC4245 has built-in limits for over and under current warnings. This | ||
38 | makes it very likely that the reference circuit will be used. | ||
39 | |||
40 | This driver uses the values in the datasheet to change the register values | ||
41 | into the values specified in the sysfs-interface document. The current readings | ||
42 | rely on the sense resistors listed in Table 2: "Sense Resistor Values". | ||

291 | ---------------------------------------------- | ||
292 | |||
293 | To facilitate having source code and comments close together, you can | ||
294 | include kernel-doc documentation blocks that are free-form comments | ||
295 | instead of being kernel-doc for functions, structures, unions, | ||
296 | enums, or typedefs. This could be used for something like a | ||
297 | theory of operation for a driver or library code, for example. | ||
298 | |||
299 | This is done by using a DOC: section keyword with a section title. E.g.: | ||
300 | |||
301 | /** | ||
302 | * DOC: Theory of Operation | ||
303 | * | ||
304 | * The whizbang foobar is a dilly of a gizmo. It can do whatever you | ||
305 | * want it to do, at any time. It reads your mind. Here's how it works. | ||
306 | * | ||
307 | * foo bar splat | ||
308 | * | ||
309 | * The only drawback to this gizmo is that is can sometimes damage | ||
310 | * hardware, software, or its subject(s). | ||
311 | */ | ||
312 | |||
313 | DOC: sections are used in SGML templates files as indicated below. | ||

122 | Command status replies. | ||
123 | ====================== | ||
124 | |||
125 | Each command (either root, master or slave with or without w1_netlink_cmd | ||
126 | structure) will be 'acked' by the w1 core. Format of the reply is the same | ||
127 | as request message except that length parameters do not account for data | ||
128 | requested by the user, i.e. read/write/touch IO requests will not contain | ||
129 | data, so w1_netlink_cmd.len will be 0, w1_netlink_msg.len will be size | ||
130 | of the w1_netlink_cmd structure and cn_msg.len will be equal to the sum | ||
131 | of the sizeof(struct w1_netlink_msg) and sizeof(struct w1_netlink_cmd). | ||
132 | If reply is generated for master or root command (which do not have | ||
133 | w1_netlink_cmd attached), reply will contain only cn_msg and w1_netlink_msg | ||
134 | structires. | ||
135 | |||
136 | w1_netlink_msg.status field will carry positive error value | ||
137 | (EINVAL for example) or zero in case of success. | ||
138 | |||
139 | All other fields in every structure will mirror the same parameters in the | ||
140 | request message (except lengths as described above). | ||
141 | |||
142 | Status reply is generated for every w1_netlink_cmd embedded in the | ||
143 | w1_netlink_msg, if there are no w1_netlink_cmd structures, | ||
144 | reply will be generated for the w1_netlink_msg. | ||
145 | |||
146 | All w1_netlink_cmd command structures are handled in every w1_netlink_msg, | ||
147 | even if there were errors, only length mismatch interrupts message processing. | ||

2 | Driver for the Intel Wireless Wimax Connection 2400m | ||
3 | |||
4 | (C) 2008 Intel Corporation < linux-wimax@intel.com > | ||
5 | |||
6 | This provides a driver for the Intel Wireless WiMAX Connection 2400m | ||
7 | and a basic Linux kernel WiMAX stack. | ||
8 | |||
9 | 1. Requirements | ||
10 | |||
11 | * Linux installation with Linux kernel 2.6.22 or newer (if building | ||
12 | from a separate tree) | ||
13 | * Intel i2400m Echo Peak or Baxter Peak; this includes the Intel | ||
14 | Wireless WiMAX/WiFi Link 5x50 series. | ||
15 | * build tools: | ||
16 | + Linux kernel development package for the target kernel; to | ||
17 | build against your currently running kernel, you need to have | ||
18 | the kernel development package corresponding to the running | ||
19 | image installed (usually if your kernel is named | ||
20 | linux-VERSION, the development package is called | ||
21 | linux-dev-VERSION or linux-headers-VERSION). | ||
22 | + GNU C Compiler, make | ||
23 | |||
24 | 2. Compilation and installation | ||
25 | |||
26 | 2.1. Compilation of the drivers included in the kernel | ||
27 | |||
28 | Configure the kernel; to enable the WiMAX drivers select Drivers > | ||
29 | Networking Drivers > WiMAX device support. Enable all of them as | ||
30 | modules (easier). | ||
31 | |||
32 | If USB or SDIO are not enabled in the kernel configuration, the options | ||
33 | to build the i2400m USB or SDIO drivers will not show. Enable said | ||
34 | subsystems and go back to the WiMAX menu to enable the drivers. | ||
35 | |||
36 | Compile and install your kernel as usual. | ||
37 | |||
38 | 2.2. Compilation of the drivers distributed as an standalone module | ||
39 | |||
40 | To compile | ||
41 | |||
42 | $ cd source/directory | ||
43 | $ make | ||
44 | |||
45 | Once built you can load and unload using the provided load.sh script; | ||
46 | load.sh will load the modules, load.sh u will unload them. | ||
47 | |||
48 | To install in the default kernel directories (and enable auto loading | ||
49 | when the device is plugged): | ||
50 | |||
51 | $ make install | ||
52 | $ depmod -a | ||
53 | |||
54 | If your kernel development files are located in a non standard | ||
55 | directory or if you want to build for a kernel that is not the | ||
56 | currently running one, set KDIR to the right location: | ||
57 | |||
58 | $ make KDIR=/path/to/kernel/dev/tree | ||
59 | |||
60 | For more information, please contact linux-wimax@intel.com. | ||
61 | |||
62 | 3. Installing the firmware | ||
63 | |||
64 | The firmware can be obtained from http://linuxwimax.org or might have | ||
65 | been supplied with your hardware. | ||
66 | |||
67 | It has to be installed in the target system: | ||
68 | * | ||
69 | $ cp FIRMWAREFILE.sbcf /lib/firmware/i2400m-fw-BUSTYPE-1.3.sbcf | ||
70 | |||
71 | * NOTE: if your firmware came in an .rpm or .deb file, just install | ||
72 | it as normal, with the rpm (rpm -i FIRMWARE.rpm) or dpkg | ||
73 | (dpkg -i FIRMWARE.deb) commands. No further action is needed. | ||
74 | * BUSTYPE will be usb or sdio, depending on the hardware you have. | ||
75 | Each hardware type comes with its own firmware and will not work | ||
76 | with other types. | ||
77 | |||
78 | 4. Design | ||
79 | |||
80 | This package contains two major parts: a WiMAX kernel stack and a | ||
81 | driver for the Intel i2400m. | ||
82 | |||
83 | The WiMAX stack is designed to provide for common WiMAX control | ||
84 | services to current and future WiMAX devices from any vendor; please | ||
85 | see README.wimax for details. | ||
86 | |||
87 | The i2400m kernel driver is broken up in two main parts: the bus | ||
88 | generic driver and the bus-specific drivers. The bus generic driver | ||
89 | forms the drivercore and contain no knowledge of the actual method we | ||
90 | use to connect to the device. The bus specific drivers are just the | ||
91 | glue to connect the bus-generic driver and the device. Currently only | ||
92 | USB and SDIO are supported. See drivers/net/wimax/i2400m/i2400m.h for | ||
93 | more information. | ||
94 | |||
95 | The bus generic driver is logically broken up in two parts: OS-glue and | ||
96 | hardware-glue. The OS-glue interfaces with Linux. The hardware-glue | ||
97 | interfaces with the device on using an interface provided by the | ||
98 | bus-specific driver. The reason for this breakup is to be able to | ||
99 | easily reuse the hardware-glue to write drivers for other OSes; note | ||
100 | the hardware glue part is written as a native Linux driver; no | ||
101 | abstraction layers are used, so to port to another OS, the Linux kernel | ||
102 | API calls should be replaced with the target OS's. | ||
103 | |||
104 | 5. Usage | ||
105 | |||
106 | To load the driver, follow the instructions in the install section; | ||
107 | once the driver is loaded, plug in the device (unless it is permanently | ||
108 | plugged in). The driver will enumerate the device, upload the firmware | ||
109 | and output messages in the kernel log (dmesg, /var/log/messages or | ||
110 | /var/log/kern.log) such as: | ||
111 | |||
112 | ... | ||
113 | i2400m_usb 5-4:1.0: firmware interface version 8.0.0 | ||
114 | i2400m_usb 5-4:1.0: WiMAX interface wmx0 (00:1d:e1:01:94:2c) ready | ||
115 | |||
116 | At this point the device is ready to work. | ||
117 | |||
118 | Current versions require the Intel WiMAX Network Service in userspace | ||
119 | to make things work. See the network service's README for instructions | ||
120 | on how to scan, connect and disconnect. | ||
121 | |||
122 | 5.1. Module parameters | ||
123 | |||
124 | Module parameters can be set at kernel or module load time or by | ||
125 | echoing values: | ||
126 | |||
127 | $ echo VALUE > /sys/module/MODULENAME/parameters/PARAMETERNAME | ||
128 | |||
129 | To make changes permanent, for example, for the i2400m module, you can | ||
130 | also create a file named /etc/modprobe.d/i2400m containing: | ||
131 | |||
132 | options i2400m idle_mode_disabled=1 | ||
133 | |||
134 | To find which parameters are supported by a module, run: | ||
135 | |||
136 | $ modinfo path/to/module.ko | ||
137 | |||
138 | During kernel bootup (if the driver is linked in the kernel), specify | ||
139 | the following to the kernel command line: | ||
140 | |||
141 | i2400m.PARAMETER=VALUE | ||
142 | |||
143 | 5.1.1. i2400m: idle_mode_disabled | ||
144 | |||
145 | The i2400m module supports a parameter to disable idle mode. This | ||
146 | parameter, once set, will take effect only when the device is | ||
147 | reinitialized by the driver (eg: following a reset or a reconnect). | ||
148 | |||
149 | 5.2. Debug operations: debugfs entries | ||
150 | |||
151 | The driver will register debugfs entries that allow the user to tweak | ||
152 | debug settings. There are three main container directories where | ||
153 | entries are placed, which correspond to the three blocks a i2400m WiMAX | ||
154 | driver has: | ||
155 | * /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:DEVNAME/ for the generic WiMAX stack | ||
156 | controls | ||
157 | * /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:DEVNAME/i2400m for the i2400m generic | ||
158 | driver controls | ||
159 | * /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:DEVNAME/i2400m-usb (or -sdio) for the | ||
160 | bus-specific i2400m-usb or i2400m-sdio controls). | ||
161 | |||
162 | Of course, if debugfs is mounted in a directory other than | ||
163 | /sys/kernel/debug, those paths will change. | ||
164 | |||
165 | 5.2.1. Increasing debug output | ||
166 | |||
167 | The files named *dl_* indicate knobs for controlling the debug output | ||
168 | of different submodules: | ||
169 | * | ||
170 | # find /sys/kernel/debug/wimax\:wmx0 -name \*dl_\* | ||
171 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m-usb/dl_tx | ||
172 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m-usb/dl_rx | ||
173 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m-usb/dl_notif | ||
174 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m-usb/dl_fw | ||
175 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m-usb/dl_usb | ||
176 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_tx | ||
177 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_rx | ||
178 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_rfkill | ||
179 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_netdev | ||
180 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_fw | ||
181 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_debugfs | ||
182 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_driver | ||
183 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_control | ||
184 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_stack | ||
185 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_rfkill | ||
186 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_reset | ||
187 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_msg | ||
188 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_id_table | ||
189 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_debugfs | ||
190 | |||
191 | By reading the file you can obtain the current value of said debug | ||
192 | level; by writing to it, you can set it. | ||
193 | |||
194 | To increase the debug level of, for example, the i2400m's generic TX | ||
195 | engine, just write: | ||
196 | |||
197 | $ echo 3 > /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/dl_tx | ||
198 | |||
199 | Increasing numbers yield increasing debug information; for details of | ||
200 | what is printed and the available levels, check the source. The code | ||
201 | uses 0 for disabled and increasing values until 8. | ||
202 | |||
203 | 5.2.2. RX and TX statistics | ||
204 | |||
205 | The i2400m/rx_stats and i2400m/tx_stats provide statistics about the | ||
206 | data reception/delivery from the device: | ||
207 | |||
208 | $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/rx_stats | ||
209 | 45 1 3 34 3104 48 480 | ||
210 | |||
211 | The numbers reported are | ||
212 | * packets/RX-buffer: total, min, max | ||
213 | * RX-buffers: total RX buffers received, accumulated RX buffer size | ||
214 | in bytes, min size received, max size received | ||
215 | |||
216 | Thus, to find the average buffer size received, divide accumulated | ||
217 | RX-buffer / total RX-buffers. | ||
218 | |||
219 | To clear the statistics back to 0, write anything to the rx_stats file: | ||
220 | |||
221 | $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m_rx_stats | ||
222 | |||
223 | Likewise for TX. | ||
224 | |||
225 | Note the packets this debug file refers to are not network packet, but | ||
226 | packets in the sense of the device-specific protocol for communication | ||
227 | to the host. See drivers/net/wimax/i2400m/tx.c. | ||
228 | |||
229 | 5.2.3. Tracing messages received from user space | ||
230 | |||
231 | To echo messages received from user space into the trace pipe that the | ||
232 | i2400m driver creates, set the debug file i2400m/trace_msg_from_user to | ||
233 | 1: | ||
234 | * | ||
235 | $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/i2400m/trace_msg_from_user | ||
236 | |||
237 | 5.2.4. Performing a device reset | ||
238 | |||
239 | By writing a 0, a 1 or a 2 to the file | ||
240 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/reset, the driver performs a warm (without | ||
241 | disconnecting from the bus), cold (disconnecting from the bus) or bus | ||
242 | (bus specific) reset on the device. | ||
243 | |||
244 | 5.2.5. Asking the device to enter power saving mode | ||
245 | |||
246 | By writing any value to the /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0 file, the | ||
247 | device will attempt to enter power saving mode. | ||
248 | |||
249 | 6. Troubleshooting | ||
250 | |||
251 | 6.1. Driver complains about 'i2400m-fw-usb-1.2.sbcf: request failed' | ||
252 | |||
253 | If upon connecting the device, the following is output in the kernel | ||
254 | log: | ||
255 | |||
256 | i2400m_usb 5-4:1.0: fw i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.sbcf: request failed: -2 | ||
257 | |||
258 | This means that the driver cannot locate the firmware file named | ||
259 | /lib/firmware/i2400m-fw-usb-1.2.sbcf. Check that the file is present in | ||
260 | the right location. | ||

2 | Linux kernel WiMAX stack | ||
3 | |||
4 | (C) 2008 Intel Corporation < linux-wimax@intel.com > | ||
5 | |||
6 | This provides a basic Linux kernel WiMAX stack to provide a common | ||
7 | control API for WiMAX devices, usable from kernel and user space. | ||
8 | |||
9 | 1. Design | ||
10 | |||
11 | The WiMAX stack is designed to provide for common WiMAX control | ||
12 | services to current and future WiMAX devices from any vendor. | ||
13 | |||
14 | Because currently there is only one and we don't know what would be the | ||
15 | common services, the APIs it currently provides are very minimal. | ||
16 | However, it is done in such a way that it is easily extensible to | ||
17 | accommodate future requirements. | ||
18 | |||
19 | The stack works by embedding a struct wimax_dev in your device's | ||
20 | control structures. This provides a set of callbacks that the WiMAX | ||
21 | stack will call in order to implement control operations requested by | ||
22 | the user. As well, the stack provides API functions that the driver | ||
23 | calls to notify about changes of state in the device. | ||
24 | |||
25 | The stack exports the API calls needed to control the device to user | ||
26 | space using generic netlink as a marshalling mechanism. You can access | ||
27 | them using your own code or use the wrappers provided for your | ||
28 | convenience in libwimax (in the wimax-tools package). | ||
29 | |||
30 | For detailed information on the stack, please see | ||
31 | include/linux/wimax.h. | ||
32 | |||
33 | 2. Usage | ||
34 | |||
35 | For usage in a driver (registration, API, etc) please refer to the | ||
36 | instructions in the header file include/linux/wimax.h. | ||
37 | |||
38 | When a device is registered with the WiMAX stack, a set of debugfs | ||
39 | files will appear in /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmxX can tweak for | ||
40 | control. | ||
41 | |||
42 | 2.1. Obtaining debug information: debugfs entries | ||
43 | |||
44 | The WiMAX stack is compiled, by default, with debug messages that can | ||
45 | be used to diagnose issues. By default, said messages are disabled. | ||
46 | |||
47 | The drivers will register debugfs entries that allow the user to tweak | ||
48 | debug settings. | ||
49 | |||
50 | Each driver, when registering with the stack, will cause a debugfs | ||
51 | directory named wimax:DEVICENAME to be created; optionally, it might | ||
52 | create more subentries below it. | ||
53 | |||
54 | 2.1.1. Increasing debug output | ||
55 | |||
56 | The files named *dl_* indicate knobs for controlling the debug output | ||
57 | of different submodules of the WiMAX stack: | ||
58 | * | ||
59 | # find /sys/kernel/debug/wimax\:wmx0 -name \*dl_\* | ||
60 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_stack | ||
61 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_rfkill | ||
62 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_reset | ||
63 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_op_msg | ||
64 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_id_table | ||
65 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_debugfs | ||
66 | /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/.... # other driver specific files | ||
67 | |||
68 | NOTE: Of course, if debugfs is mounted in a directory other than | ||
69 | /sys/kernel/debug, those paths will change. | ||

71 | By reading the file you can obtain the current value of said debug | ||
72 | level; by writing to it, you can set it. | ||
73 | |||
74 | To increase the debug level of, for example, the id-table submodule, | ||
75 | just write: | ||
76 | |||
77 | $ echo 3 > /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmx0/wimax_dl_id_table | ||
78 | |||
79 | Increasing numbers yield increasing debug information; for details of | ||
80 | what is printed and the available levels, check the source. The code | ||
81 | uses 0 for disabled and increasing values until 8. | ||
