318 | slaves are present in the bond. | 318 | The down side of this policy is that every device on |

335 | The "follow" fail_over_mac policy causes the MAC | ||
336 | address of the bond to be selected normally (normally | ||
337 | the MAC address of the first slave added to the bond). | ||
338 | However, the second and subsequent slaves are not set | ||
339 | to this MAC address while they are in a backup role; a | ||
340 | slave is programmed with the bond's MAC address at | ||
341 | failover time (and the formerly active slave receives | ||
342 | the newly active slave's MAC address). | ||
343 | |||
344 | This policy is useful for multiport devices that | ||
345 | either become confused or incur a performance penalty | ||

8 | Introduction | ||
9 | ------------ | ||
10 | |||
11 | This file describes how to use the DM9000 platform-device based network driver | ||
12 | that is contained in the files drivers/net/dm9000.c and drivers/net/dm9000.h. | ||
13 | |||
14 | The driver supports three DM9000 variants, the DM9000E which is the first chip | ||
15 | supported as well as the newer DM9000A and DM9000B devices. It is currently | ||
16 | maintained and tested by Ben Dooks, who should be CC: to any patches for this | ||
17 | driver. | ||
18 | |||
19 | |||
20 | Defining the platform device | ||
21 | ---------------------------- | ||
22 | |||
23 | The minimum set of resources attached to the platform device are as follows: | ||
24 | |||
25 | 1) The physical address of the address register | ||
26 | 2) The physical address of the data register | ||
27 | 3) The IRQ line the device's interrupt pin is connected to. | ||
28 | |||
29 | These resources should be specified in that order, as the ordering of the | ||
30 | two address regions is important (the driver expects these to be address | ||
31 | and then data). | ||
32 | |||
33 | An example from arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/mach-bast.c is: | ||
34 | |||
35 | static struct resource bast_dm9k_resource[] = { | ||
36 | [0] = { | ||
37 | .start = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000, | ||
38 | .end = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000 + 3, | ||
39 | .flags = IORESOURCE_MEM, | ||
40 | }, | ||
41 | [1] = { | ||
42 | .start = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000 + 0x40, | ||
43 | .end = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000 + 0x40 + 0x3f, | ||
44 | .flags = IORESOURCE_MEM, | ||
45 | }, | ||
46 | [2] = { | ||
47 | .start = IRQ_DM9000, | ||
48 | .end = IRQ_DM9000, | ||
49 | .flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ | IORESOURCE_IRQ_HIGHLEVEL, | ||
50 | } | ||
51 | }; | ||
52 | |||
53 | static struct platform_device bast_device_dm9k = { | ||
54 | .name = "dm9000", | ||
55 | .id = 0, | ||
56 | .num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(bast_dm9k_resource), | ||
57 | .resource = bast_dm9k_resource, | ||
58 | }; | ||
59 | |||
60 | Note the setting of the IRQ trigger flag in bast_dm9k_resource[2].flags, | ||
61 | as this will generate a warning if it is not present. The trigger from | ||
62 | the flags field will be passed to request_irq() when registering the IRQ | ||
63 | handler to ensure that the IRQ is setup correctly. | ||
64 | |||
65 | This shows a typical platform device, without the optional configuration | ||
66 | platform data supplied. The next example uses the same resources, but adds | ||
67 | the optional platform data to pass extra configuration data: | ||
68 | |||
69 | static struct dm9000_plat_data bast_dm9k_platdata = { | ||
70 | .flags = DM9000_PLATF_16BITONLY, | ||
71 | }; | ||
72 | |||
73 | static struct platform_device bast_device_dm9k = { | ||
74 | .name = "dm9000", | ||
75 | .id = 0, | ||
76 | .num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(bast_dm9k_resource), | ||
77 | .resource = bast_dm9k_resource, | ||
78 | .dev = { | ||
79 | .platform_data = &bast_dm9k_platdata, | ||
80 | } | ||
81 | }; | ||
82 | |||
83 | The platform data is defined in include/linux/dm9000.h and described below. | ||
84 | |||
85 | |||
86 | Platform data | ||
87 | ------------- | ||
88 | |||
89 | Extra platform data for the DM9000 can describe the IO bus width to the | ||
90 | device, whether or not an external PHY is attached to the device and | ||
91 | the availability of an external configuration EEPROM. | ||
92 | |||
93 | The flags for the platform data .flags field are as follows: | ||
94 | |||
95 | DM9000_PLATF_8BITONLY | ||
96 | |||
97 | The IO should be done with 8bit operations. | ||
98 | |||
99 | DM9000_PLATF_16BITONLY | ||
100 | |||
101 | The IO should be done with 16bit operations. | ||
102 | |||
103 | DM9000_PLATF_32BITONLY | ||
104 | |||
105 | The IO should be done with 32bit operations. | ||
106 | |||
107 | DM9000_PLATF_EXT_PHY | ||
108 | |||
109 | The chip is connected to an external PHY. | ||
110 | |||
111 | DM9000_PLATF_NO_EEPROM | ||
112 | |||
113 | This can be used to signify that the board does not have an | ||
114 | EEPROM, or that the EEPROM should be hidden from the user. | ||
115 | |||
116 | DM9000_PLATF_SIMPLE_PHY | ||
117 | |||
118 | Switch to using the simpler PHY polling method which does not | ||
119 | try and read the MII PHY state regularly. This is only available | ||
120 | when using the internal PHY. See the section on link state polling | ||
121 | for more information. | ||
122 | |||
123 | The config symbol DM9000_FORCE_SIMPLE_PHY_POLL, Kconfig entry | ||
124 | "Force simple NSR based PHY polling" allows this flag to be | ||
125 | forced on at build time. | ||
126 | |||
127 | |||
128 | PHY Link state polling | ||
129 | ---------------------- | ||
130 | |||
131 | The driver keeps track of the link state and informs the network core | ||
132 | about link (carrier) availablilty. This is managed by several methods | ||
133 | depending on the version of the chip and on which PHY is being used. | ||
134 | |||
135 | For the internal PHY, the original (and currently default) method is | ||
136 | to read the MII state, either when the status changes if we have the | ||
137 | necessary interrupt support in the chip or every two seconds via a | ||
138 | periodic timer. | ||
139 | |||
140 | To reduce the overhead for the internal PHY, there is now the option | ||
141 | of using the DM9000_FORCE_SIMPLE_PHY_POLL config, or DM9000_PLATF_SIMPLE_PHY | ||
142 | platform data option to read the summary information without the | ||
143 | expensive MII accesses. This method is faster, but does not print | ||
144 | as much information. | ||
145 | |||
146 | When using an external PHY, the driver currently has to poll the MII | ||
147 | link status as there is no method for getting an interrupt on link change. | ||
148 | |||
149 | |||
150 | DM9000A / DM9000B | ||
151 | ----------------- | ||
152 | |||
153 | These chips are functionally similar to the DM9000E and are supported easily | ||
154 | by the same driver. The features are: | ||
155 | |||
156 | 1) Interrupt on internal PHY state change. This means that the periodic | ||
157 | polling of the PHY status may be disabled on these devices when using | ||
158 | the internal PHY. | ||
159 | |||
160 | 2) TCP/UDP checksum offloading, which the driver does not currently support. | ||
161 | |||
162 | |||
163 | ethtool | ||
164 | ------- | ||
165 | |||
166 | The driver supports the ethtool interface for access to the driver | ||
167 | state information, the PHY state and the EEPROM. | ||

270 | Additional Configurations | ||
271 | ========================= | ||
272 | |||
273 | Configuring the Driver on Different Distributions | ||
274 | ------------------------------------------------- | ||
275 | Configuring a network driver to load properly when the system is started is | ||
276 | distribution dependent. Typically, the configuration process involves adding | ||
277 | an alias line to /etc/modprobe.conf as well as editing other system startup | ||
278 | scripts and/or configuration files. Many popular Linux distributions ship | ||
279 | with tools to make these changes for you. To learn the proper way to | ||
280 | configure a network device for your system, refer to your distribution | ||
281 | documentation. If during this process you are asked for the driver or module | ||
282 | name, the name for the Linux Base Driver for the Intel 10GbE Family of | ||
283 | Adapters is ixgb. | ||
284 | |||
285 | Viewing Link Messages | ||
286 | --------------------- | ||
287 | Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is | ||
288 | restricting system messages. In order to see network driver link messages on | ||
289 | your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following: | ||
290 | |||
291 | dmesg -n 8 | ||
292 | |||
293 | NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots. | ||
294 | |||
295 | |||
296 | Jumbo Frames | ||
297 | ------------ | ||
298 | The driver supports Jumbo Frames for all adapters. Jumbo Frames support is | ||
299 | enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than the default of 1500. | ||
300 | The maximum value for the MTU is 16114. Use the ifconfig command to | ||
301 | increase the MTU size. For example: | ||
302 | |||
303 | ifconfig ethx mtu 9000 up | ||
304 | |||
305 | The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 16114. This value coincides | ||
306 | with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 16128. | ||
307 | |||
308 | |||
309 | Ethtool | ||
310 | ------- | ||
311 | The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and | ||
312 | diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. Ethtool | ||
313 | version 1.6 or later is required for this functionality. | ||
314 | |||
315 | The latest release of ethtool can be found from | ||
316 | http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel | ||
317 | |||
318 | NOTE: Ethtool 1.6 only supports a limited set of ethtool options. Support | ||
319 | for a more complete ethtool feature set can be enabled by upgrading | ||
320 | to the latest version. | ||
321 | |||
322 | |||
323 | NAPI | ||
324 | ---- | ||
325 | |||
326 | NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the ixgb driver. NAPI is enabled | ||
327 | or disabled based on the configuration of the kernel. see CONFIG_IXGB_NAPI | ||
328 | |||
329 | See www.cyberus.ca/~hadi/usenix-paper.tgz for more information on NAPI. | ||
330 | |||
331 | |||
332 | Known Issues/Troubleshooting | ||
333 | ============================ | ||
334 | |||
335 | NOTE: After installing the driver, if your Intel Network Connection is not | ||
336 | working, verify in the "In This Release" section of the readme that you have | ||
337 | installed the correct driver. | ||
338 | |||
339 | Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter Cable Interoperability Issue with | ||
340 | Fujitsu XENPAK Module in SmartBits Chassis | ||
341 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
342 | Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4 | ||
343 | Server adapter is connected to a Fujitsu XENPAK CX4 module in a SmartBits | ||
344 | chassis using 15 m/24AWG cable assemblies manufactured by Fujitsu or Leoni. | ||
345 | The CRC errors may be received either by the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4 | ||
346 | Server adapter or the SmartBits. If this situation occurs using a different | ||
347 | cable assembly may resolve the issue. | ||
348 | |||
349 | CX4 Server Adapter Cable Interoperability Issues with HP Procurve 3400cl | ||
350 | Switch Port | ||
351 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
352 | Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4 Server | ||
353 | adapter is connected to an HP Procurve 3400cl switch port using short cables | ||
354 | (1 m or shorter). If this situation occurs, using a longer cable may resolve | ||
355 | the issue. | ||
356 | |||
357 | Excessive CRC errors may be observed using Fujitsu 24AWG cable assemblies that | ||
358 | Are 10 m or longer or where using a Leoni 15 m/24AWG cable assembly. The CRC | ||
359 | errors may be received either by the CX4 Server adapter or at the switch. If | ||
360 | this situation occurs, using a different cable assembly may resolve the issue. | ||
361 | |||
362 | |||
363 | Jumbo Frames System Requirement | ||
364 | ------------------------------- | ||
365 | Memory allocation failures have been observed on Linux systems with 64 MB | ||
366 | of RAM or less that are running Jumbo Frames. If you are using Jumbo | ||
367 | Frames, your system may require more than the advertised minimum | ||
368 | requirement of 64 MB of system memory. | ||
369 | |||
370 | |||
371 | Performance Degradation with Jumbo Frames | ||
372 | ----------------------------------------- | ||
373 | Degradation in throughput performance may be observed in some Jumbo frames | ||
374 | environments. If this is observed, increasing the application's socket buffer | ||
375 | size and/or increasing the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_*mem entry values may help. | ||
376 | See the specific application manual and /usr/src/linux*/Documentation/ | ||
377 | networking/ip-sysctl.txt for more details. | ||
378 | |||
379 | |||
380 | Allocating Rx Buffers when Using Jumbo Frames | ||
381 | --------------------------------------------- | ||
382 | Allocating Rx buffers when using Jumbo Frames on 2.6.x kernels may fail if | ||
383 | the available memory is heavily fragmented. This issue may be seen with PCI-X | ||
384 | adapters or with packet split disabled. This can be reduced or eliminated | ||
385 | by changing the amount of available memory for receive buffer allocation, by | ||
386 | increasing /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes. | ||
387 | |||
388 | |||
389 | Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network | ||
390 | ------------------------------------------------------ | ||
391 | Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have | ||
392 | one system on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain | ||
393 | (non-partitioned switch) behave as expected. All Ethernet interfaces | ||
394 | will respond to IP traffic for any IP address assigned to the system. | ||
395 | This results in unbalanced receive traffic. | ||
396 | |||
397 | If you have multiple interfaces in a server, do either of the following: | ||
398 | |||
399 | - Turn on ARP filtering by entering: | ||
400 | echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter | ||
401 | |||
402 | - Install the interfaces in separate broadcast domains - either in | ||
403 | different switches or in a switch partitioned to VLANs. | ||
404 | |||
405 | |||
406 | UDP Stress Test Dropped Packet Issue | ||
407 | -------------------------------------- | ||
408 | Under small packets UDP stress test with 10GbE driver, the Linux system | ||
409 | may drop UDP packets due to the fullness of socket buffers. You may want | ||
410 | to change the driver's Flow Control variables to the minimum value for | ||
411 | controlling packet reception. | ||
412 | |||
413 | |||
414 | Tx Hangs Possible Under Stress | ||
415 | ------------------------------ | ||
416 | Under stress conditions, if TX hangs occur, turning off TSO | ||
417 | "ethtool -K eth0 tso off" may resolve the problem. | ||

9 | Introduction | ||
10 | |||
11 | mac80211_hwsim is a Linux kernel module that can be used to simulate | ||
12 | arbitrary number of IEEE 802.11 radios for mac80211. It can be used to | ||
13 | test most of the mac80211 functionality and user space tools (e.g., | ||
14 | hostapd and wpa_supplicant) in a way that matches very closely with | ||
15 | the normal case of using real WLAN hardware. From the mac80211 view | ||
16 | point, mac80211_hwsim is yet another hardware driver, i.e., no changes | ||
17 | to mac80211 are needed to use this testing tool. | ||
18 | |||
19 | The main goal for mac80211_hwsim is to make it easier for developers | ||
20 | to test their code and work with new features to mac80211, hostapd, | ||
21 | and wpa_supplicant. The simulated radios do not have the limitations | ||
22 | of real hardware, so it is easy to generate an arbitrary test setup | ||
23 | and always reproduce the same setup for future tests. In addition, | ||
24 | since all radio operation is simulated, any channel can be used in | ||
25 | tests regardless of regulatory rules. | ||
26 | |||
27 | mac80211_hwsim kernel module has a parameter 'radios' that can be used | ||
28 | to select how many radios are simulated (default 2). This allows | ||
29 | configuration of both very simply setups (e.g., just a single access | ||
30 | point and a station) or large scale tests (multiple access points with | ||
31 | hundreds of stations). | ||
32 | |||
33 | mac80211_hwsim works by tracking the current channel of each virtual | ||
34 | radio and copying all transmitted frames to all other radios that are | ||
35 | currently enabled and on the same channel as the transmitting | ||
36 | radio. Software encryption in mac80211 is used so that the frames are | ||
37 | actually encrypted over the virtual air interface to allow more | ||
38 | complete testing of encryption. | ||
39 | |||
40 | A global monitoring netdev, hwsim#, is created independent of | ||
41 | mac80211. This interface can be used to monitor all transmitted frames | ||
42 | regardless of channel. | ||
43 | |||
44 | |||
45 | Simple example | ||
46 | |||
47 | This example shows how to use mac80211_hwsim to simulate two radios: | ||
48 | one to act as an access point and the other as a station that | ||
49 | associates with the AP. hostapd and wpa_supplicant are used to take | ||
50 | care of WPA2-PSK authentication. In addition, hostapd is also | ||
51 | processing access point side of association. | ||
52 | |||
53 | Please note that the current Linux kernel does not enable AP mode, so a | ||
54 | simple patch is needed to enable AP mode selection: | ||

35 | Finally, the base driver should indicate that it is a multiqueue device. The | ||
36 | feature flag NETIF_F_MULTI_QUEUE should be added to the netdev->features | ||
37 | bitmap on device initialization. Below is an example from e1000: | ||
38 | |||
39 | #ifdef CONFIG_E1000_MQ | ||

45 | |||
46 | |||
47 | Section 2: Qdisc support for multiqueue devices | ||
48 | ----------------------------------------------- | ||
49 | |||
50 | Currently two qdiscs support multiqueue devices. A new round-robin qdisc, | ||
51 | sch_rr, and sch_prio. The qdisc is responsible for classifying the skb's to | ||
52 | bands and queues, and will store the queue mapping into skb->queue_mapping. | ||
53 | Use this field in the base driver to determine which queue to send the skb | ||
54 | to. | ||
55 | |||
56 | sch_rr has been added for hardware that doesn't want scheduling policies from | ||
57 | software, so it's a straight round-robin qdisc. It uses the same syntax and | ||
58 | classification priomap that sch_prio uses, so it should be intuitive to | ||
59 | configure for people who've used sch_prio. | ||
60 | |||
61 | In order to utilitize the multiqueue features of the qdiscs, the network | ||
62 | device layer needs to enable multiple queue support. This can be done by | ||
63 | selecting NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE under Drivers. | ||
64 | |||
65 | The PRIO qdisc naturally plugs into a multiqueue device. If | ||
66 | NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE is selected, then on qdisc load, the number of | ||
67 | bands requested is compared to the number of queues on the hardware. If they | ||
68 | are equal, it sets a one-to-one mapping up between the queues and bands. If | ||
69 | they're not equal, it will not load the qdisc. This is the same behavior | ||
70 | for RR. Once the association is made, any skb that is classified will have | ||
71 | skb->queue_mapping set, which will allow the driver to properly queue skb's | ||
72 | to multiple queues. | ||
73 | |||
74 | |||
75 | Section 3: Brief howto using PRIO and RR for multiqueue devices | ||
76 | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
77 | |||
78 | The userspace command 'tc,' part of the iproute2 package, is used to configure | ||
79 | qdiscs. To add the PRIO qdisc to your network device, assuming the device is | ||
80 | called eth0, run the following command: | ||
81 | |||
82 | # tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: prio bands 4 multiqueue | ||
83 | |||
84 | This will create 4 bands, 0 being highest priority, and associate those bands | ||
85 | to the queues on your NIC. Assuming eth0 has 4 Tx queues, the band mapping | ||
86 | would look like: | ||
87 | |||
88 | band 0 => queue 0 | ||
89 | band 1 => queue 1 | ||
90 | band 2 => queue 2 | ||
91 | band 3 => queue 3 | ||
92 | |||
93 | Traffic will begin flowing through each queue if your TOS values are assigning | ||
94 | traffic across the various bands. For example, ssh traffic will always try to | ||
95 | go out band 0 based on TOS -> Linux priority conversion (realtime traffic), | ||
96 | so it will be sent out queue 0. ICMP traffic (pings) fall into the "normal" | ||
97 | traffic classification, which is band 1. Therefore pings will be send out | ||
98 | queue 1 on the NIC. | ||
99 | |||
100 | Note the use of the multiqueue keyword. This is only in versions of iproute2 | ||
101 | that support multiqueue networking devices; if this is omitted when loading | ||
102 | a qdisc onto a multiqueue device, the qdisc will load and operate the same | ||
103 | if it were loaded onto a single-queue device (i.e. - sends all traffic to | ||
104 | queue 0). | ||
105 | |||
106 | Another alternative to multiqueue band allocation can be done by using the | ||
107 | multiqueue option and specify 0 bands. If this is the case, the qdisc will | ||
108 | allocate the number of bands to equal the number of queues that the device | ||
109 | reports, and bring the qdisc online. | ||
110 | |||
111 | The behavior of tc filters remains the same, where it will override TOS priority | ||
112 | classification. | ||

11 | The rfkill switch subsystem offers support for keys often found on laptops | 14 | 1. Introduction: |

16 | The rfkill switch subsystem exists to add a generic interface to circuitry that | ||

13 | 19 | ||

36 | take over the task to handle the key events. | ||
37 | |||
38 | =============================================================================== | ||
39 | 2: Implementation details | ||
40 | |||
41 | The rfkill subsystem is composed of various components: the rfkill class, the | ||
42 | rfkill-input module (an input layer handler), and some specific input layer | ||
43 | events. | ||
44 | |||
45 | The rfkill class provides kernel drivers with an interface that allows them to | ||
46 | know when they should enable or disable a wireless network device transmitter. | ||
47 | This is enabled by the CONFIG_RFKILL Kconfig option. | ||
48 | |||
49 | The rfkill class support makes sure userspace will be notified of all state | ||
50 | changes on rfkill devices through uevents. It provides a notification chain | ||
51 | for interested parties in the kernel to also get notified of rfkill state | ||
52 | changes in other drivers. It creates several sysfs entries which can be used | ||
53 | by userspace. See section "Userspace support". | ||
54 | |||
55 | The rfkill-input module provides the kernel with the ability to implement a | ||
56 | basic response when the user presses a key or button (or toggles a switch) | ||
57 | related to rfkill functionality. It is an in-kernel implementation of default | ||
58 | policy of reacting to rfkill-related input events and neither mandatory nor | ||
59 | required for wireless drivers to operate. It is enabled by the | ||
60 | CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT Kconfig option. | ||
61 | |||
62 | rfkill-input is a rfkill-related events input layer handler. This handler will | ||
63 | listen to all rfkill key events and will change the rfkill state of the | ||
64 | wireless devices accordingly. With this option enabled userspace could either | ||
65 | do nothing or simply perform monitoring tasks. | ||
66 | |||
67 | The rfkill-input module also provides EPO (emergency power-off) functionality | ||
68 | for all wireless transmitters. This function cannot be overridden, and it is | ||
69 | always active. rfkill EPO is related to *_RFKILL_ALL input layer events. | ||
70 | |||
71 | |||
72 | Important terms for the rfkill subsystem: | ||
73 | |||
74 | In order to avoid confusion, we avoid the term "switch" in rfkill when it is | ||
75 | referring to an electronic control circuit that enables or disables a | ||
76 | transmitter. We reserve it for the physical device a human manipulates | ||
77 | (which is an input device, by the way): | ||
78 | |||
79 | rfkill switch: | ||
80 | |||
81 | A physical device a human manipulates. Its state can be perceived by | ||
82 | the kernel either directly (through a GPIO pin, ACPI GPE) or by its | ||
83 | effect on a rfkill line of a wireless device. | ||
84 | |||
85 | rfkill controller: | ||
86 | |||
87 | A hardware circuit that controls the state of a rfkill line, which a | ||
88 | kernel driver can interact with *to modify* that state (i.e. it has | ||
89 | either write-only or read/write access). | ||
90 | |||
91 | rfkill line: | ||
92 | |||
93 | An input channel (hardware or software) of a wireless device, which | ||
94 | causes a wireless transmitter to stop emitting energy (BLOCK) when it | ||
95 | is active. Point of view is extremely important here: rfkill lines are | ||
96 | always seen from the PoV of a wireless device (and its driver). | ||
97 | |||
98 | soft rfkill line/software rfkill line: | ||
99 | |||
100 | A rfkill line the wireless device driver can directly change the state | ||
101 | of. Related to rfkill_state RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED. | ||
102 | |||
103 | hard rfkill line/hardware rfkill line: | ||
104 | |||
105 | A rfkill line that works fully in hardware or firmware, and that cannot | ||
106 | be overridden by the kernel driver. The hardware device or the | ||
107 | firmware just exports its status to the driver, but it is read-only. | ||
108 | Related to rfkill_state RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED. | ||
109 | |||
110 | The enum rfkill_state describes the rfkill state of a transmitter: | ||
111 | |||
112 | When a rfkill line or rfkill controller is in the RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED state, | ||
113 | the wireless transmitter (radio TX circuit for example) is *enabled*. When the | ||
114 | it is in the RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED or RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED, the | ||
115 | wireless transmitter is to be *blocked* from operating. | ||
116 | |||
117 | RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED indicates that a call to toggle_radio() can change | ||
118 | that state. RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED indicates that a call to toggle_radio() | ||
119 | will not be able to change the state and will return with a suitable error if | ||
120 | attempts are made to set the state to RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED. | ||
121 | |||
122 | RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED is used by drivers to signal that the device is | ||
123 | locked in the BLOCKED state by a hardwire rfkill line (typically an input pin | ||
124 | that, when active, forces the transmitter to be disabled) which the driver | ||
125 | CANNOT override. | ||
126 | |||
127 | Full rfkill functionality requires two different subsystems to cooperate: the | ||
128 | input layer and the rfkill class. The input layer issues *commands* to the | ||
129 | entire system requesting that devices registered to the rfkill class change | ||
130 | state. The way this interaction happens is not complex, but it is not obvious | ||
131 | either: | ||
132 | |||
133 | Kernel Input layer: | ||
134 | |||
135 | * Generates KEY_WWAN, KEY_WLAN, KEY_BLUETOOTH, SW_RFKILL_ALL, and | ||
136 | other such events when the user presses certain keys, buttons, or | ||
137 | toggles certain physical switches. | ||
138 | |||
139 | THE INPUT LAYER IS NEVER USED TO PROPAGATE STATUS, NOTIFICATIONS OR THE | ||
140 | KIND OF STUFF AN ON-SCREEN-DISPLAY APPLICATION WOULD REPORT. It is | ||
141 | used to issue *commands* for the system to change behaviour, and these | ||
142 | commands may or may not be carried out by some kernel driver or | ||
143 | userspace application. It follows that doing user feedback based only | ||
144 | on input events is broken, as there is no guarantee that an input event | ||
145 | will be acted upon. | ||
146 | |||
147 | Most wireless communication device drivers implementing rfkill | ||
148 | functionality MUST NOT generate these events, and have no reason to | ||
149 | register themselves with the input layer. Doing otherwise is a common | ||
150 | misconception. There is an API to propagate rfkill status change | ||
151 | information, and it is NOT the input layer. | ||
152 | |||
153 | rfkill class: | ||
154 | |||
155 | * Calls a hook in a driver to effectively change the wireless | ||
156 | transmitter state; | ||
157 | * Keeps track of the wireless transmitter state (with help from | ||
158 | the driver); | ||
159 | * Generates userspace notifications (uevents) and a call to a | ||
160 | notification chain (kernel) when there is a wireless transmitter | ||
161 | state change; | ||
162 | * Connects a wireless communications driver with the common rfkill | ||
163 | control system, which, for example, allows actions such as | ||
164 | "switch all bluetooth devices offline" to be carried out by | ||
165 | userspace or by rfkill-input. | ||
166 | |||
167 | THE RFKILL CLASS NEVER ISSUES INPUT EVENTS. THE RFKILL CLASS DOES | ||
168 | NOT LISTEN TO INPUT EVENTS. NO DRIVER USING THE RFKILL CLASS SHALL | ||
169 | EVER LISTEN TO, OR ACT ON RFKILL INPUT EVENTS. Doing otherwise is | ||
170 | a layering violation. | ||
171 | |||
172 | Most wireless data communication drivers in the kernel have just to | ||
173 | implement the rfkill class API to work properly. Interfacing to the | ||
174 | input layer is not often required (and is very often a *bug*) on | ||
175 | wireless drivers. | ||
176 | |||
177 | Platform drivers often have to attach to the input layer to *issue* | ||
178 | (but never to listen to) rfkill events for rfkill switches, and also to | ||
179 | the rfkill class to export a control interface for the platform rfkill | ||
180 | controllers to the rfkill subsystem. This does NOT mean the rfkill | ||
181 | switch is attached to a rfkill class (doing so is almost always wrong). | ||
182 | It just means the same kernel module is the driver for different | ||
183 | devices (rfkill switches and rfkill controllers). | ||
184 | |||
185 | |||
186 | Userspace input handlers (uevents) or kernel input handlers (rfkill-input): | ||
187 | |||
188 | * Implements the policy of what should happen when one of the input | ||
189 | layer events related to rfkill operation is received. | ||
190 | * Uses the sysfs interface (userspace) or private rfkill API calls | ||
191 | to tell the devices registered with the rfkill class to change | ||
192 | their state (i.e. translates the input layer event into real | ||
193 | action). | ||
194 | * rfkill-input implements EPO by handling EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL 0 | ||
195 | (power off all transmitters) in a special way: it ignores any | ||
196 | overrides and local state cache and forces all transmitters to the | ||
197 | RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED state (including those which are already | ||
198 | supposed to be BLOCKED). Note that the opposite event (power on all | ||
199 | transmitters) is handled normally. | ||
200 | |||
201 | Userspace uevent handler or kernel platform-specific drivers hooked to the | ||
202 | rfkill notifier chain: | ||
203 | |||
204 | * Taps into the rfkill notifier chain or to KOBJ_CHANGE uevents, | ||
205 | in order to know when a device that is registered with the rfkill | ||
206 | class changes state; | ||
207 | * Issues feedback notifications to the user; | ||
208 | * In the rare platforms where this is required, synthesizes an input | ||
209 | event to command all *OTHER* rfkill devices to also change their | ||
210 | statues when a specific rfkill device changes state. | ||
211 | |||
212 | |||
213 | =============================================================================== | ||
214 | 3: Kernel driver guidelines | ||
215 | |||
216 | Remember: point-of-view is everything for a driver that connects to the rfkill | ||
217 | subsystem. All the details below must be measured/perceived from the point of | ||
218 | view of the specific driver being modified. | ||
219 | |||
220 | The first thing one needs to know is whether his driver should be talking to | ||
221 | the rfkill class or to the input layer. In rare cases (platform drivers), it | ||
222 | could happen that you need to do both, as platform drivers often handle a | ||
223 | variety of devices in the same driver. | ||
224 | |||
225 | Do not mistake input devices for rfkill controllers. The only type of "rfkill | ||
226 | switch" device that is to be registered with the rfkill class are those | ||
227 | directly controlling the circuits that cause a wireless transmitter to stop | ||
228 | working (or the software equivalent of them), i.e. what we call a rfkill | ||
229 | controller. Every other kind of "rfkill switch" is just an input device and | ||
230 | MUST NOT be registered with the rfkill class. | ||
231 | |||
232 | A driver should register a device with the rfkill class when ALL of the | ||
233 | following conditions are met (they define a rfkill controller): | ||
234 | |||
235 | 1. The device is/controls a data communications wireless transmitter; | ||
236 | |||
237 | 2. The kernel can interact with the hardware/firmware to CHANGE the wireless | ||
238 | transmitter state (block/unblock TX operation); | ||
239 | |||
240 | 3. The transmitter can be made to not emit any energy when "blocked": | ||
241 | rfkill is not about blocking data transmissions, it is about blocking | ||
242 | energy emission; | ||
243 | |||
244 | A driver should register a device with the input subsystem to issue | ||
245 | rfkill-related events (KEY_WLAN, KEY_BLUETOOTH, KEY_WWAN, KEY_WIMAX, | ||
246 | SW_RFKILL_ALL, etc) when ALL of the folowing conditions are met: | ||
247 | |||
248 | 1. It is directly related to some physical device the user interacts with, to | ||
249 | command the O.S./firmware/hardware to enable/disable a data communications | ||
250 | wireless transmitter. | ||
251 | |||
252 | Examples of the physical device are: buttons, keys and switches the user | ||
253 | will press/touch/slide/switch to enable or disable the wireless | ||
254 | communication device. | ||
255 | |||
256 | 2. It is NOT slaved to another device, i.e. there is no other device that | ||
257 | issues rfkill-related input events in preference to this one. | ||
26 | 258 | ||
27 | The system inside the kernel has been split into 2 separate sections: | 259 | Please refer to the corner cases and examples section for more details. |
28 | 1 - RFKILL | ||
29 | 2 - RFKILL_INPUT | ||
30 | 260 | ||
31 | The first option enables rfkill support and will make sure userspace will | 261 | When in doubt, do not issue input events. For drivers that should generate |
32 | be notified of any events through the input device. It also creates several | 262 | input events in some platforms, but not in others (e.g. b43), the best solution |
33 | sysfs entries which can be used by userspace. See section "Userspace support". | 263 | is to NEVER generate input events in the first place. That work should be |
264 | deferred to a platform-specific kernel module (which will know when to generate | ||
265 | events through the rfkill notifier chain) or to userspace. This avoids the | ||
266 | usual maintenance problems with DMI whitelisting. | ||
34 | 267 | ||
35 | The second option provides an rfkill input handler. This handler will | ||
36 | listen to all rfkill key events and will toggle the radio accordingly. | ||
37 | With this option enabled userspace could either do nothing or simply | ||
38 | perform monitoring tasks. | ||
39 | 268 | ||
269 | Corner cases and examples: | ||
40 | ==================================== | 270 | ==================================== |
41 | 2: Driver support | ||
42 | 271 | ||
43 | To build a driver with rfkill subsystem support, the driver should | 272 | 1. If the device is an input device that, because of hardware or firmware, |
44 | depend on the Kconfig symbol RFKILL; it should _not_ depend on | 273 | causes wireless transmitters to be blocked regardless of the kernel's will, it |
45 | RKFILL_INPUT. | 274 | is still just an input device, and NOT to be registered with the rfkill class. |
46 | 275 | ||
47 | Unless key events trigger an interrupt to which the driver listens, polling | 276 | 2. If the wireless transmitter switch control is read-only, it is an input |
48 | will be required to determine the key state changes. For this the input | 277 | device and not to be registered with the rfkill class (and maybe not to be made |
49 | layer providers the input-polldev handler. | 278 | an input layer event source either, see below). |
50 | 279 | ||
51 | A driver should implement a few steps to correctly make use of the | 280 | 3. If there is some other device driver *closer* to the actual hardware the |
52 | rfkill subsystem. First for non-polling drivers: | 281 | user interacted with (the button/switch/key) to issue an input event, THAT is |
282 | the device driver that should be issuing input events. | ||
53 | 283 | ||
54 | - rfkill_allocate() | 284 | E.g: |
55 | - input_allocate_device() | 285 | [RFKILL slider switch] -- [GPIO hardware] -- [WLAN card rf-kill input] |
56 | - rfkill_register() | 286 | (platform driver) (wireless card driver) |
57 | - input_register_device() | 287 | |
288 | The user is closer to the RFKILL slide switch plaform driver, so the driver | ||
289 | which must issue input events is the platform driver looking at the GPIO | ||
290 | hardware, and NEVER the wireless card driver (which is just a slave). It is | ||
291 | very likely that there are other leaves than just the WLAN card rf-kill input | ||
292 | (e.g. a bluetooth card, etc)... | ||
293 | |||
294 | On the other hand, some embedded devices do this: | ||
295 | |||
296 | [RFKILL slider switch] -- [WLAN card rf-kill input] | ||
297 | (wireless card driver) | ||
298 | |||
299 | In this situation, the wireless card driver *could* register itself as an input | ||
300 | device and issue rf-kill related input events... but in order to AVOID the need | ||
301 | for DMI whitelisting, the wireless card driver does NOT do it. Userspace (HAL) | ||
302 | or a platform driver (that exists only on these embedded devices) will do the | ||
303 | dirty job of issuing the input events. | ||
304 | |||
305 | |||
306 | COMMON MISTAKES in kernel drivers, related to rfkill: | ||
307 | ==================================== | ||
308 | |||
309 | 1. NEVER confuse input device keys and buttons with input device switches. | ||
310 | |||
311 | 1a. Switches are always set or reset. They report the current state | ||
312 | (on position or off position). | ||
313 | |||
314 | 1b. Keys and buttons are either in the pressed or not-pressed state, and | ||
315 | that's it. A "button" that latches down when you press it, and | ||
316 | unlatches when you press it again is in fact a switch as far as input | ||
317 | devices go. | ||
318 | |||
319 | Add the SW_* events you need for switches, do NOT try to emulate a button using | ||
320 | KEY_* events just because there is no such SW_* event yet. Do NOT try to use, | ||
321 | for example, KEY_BLUETOOTH when you should be using SW_BLUETOOTH instead. | ||
322 | |||
323 | 2. Input device switches (sources of EV_SW events) DO store their current state | ||
324 | (so you *must* initialize it by issuing a gratuitous input layer event on | ||
325 | driver start-up and also when resuming from sleep), and that state CAN be | ||
326 | queried from userspace through IOCTLs. There is no sysfs interface for this, | ||
327 | but that doesn't mean you should break things trying to hook it to the rfkill | ||
328 | class to get a sysfs interface :-) | ||
329 | |||
330 | 3. Do not issue *_RFKILL_ALL events by default, unless you are sure it is the | ||
331 | correct event for your switch/button. These events are emergency power-off | ||
332 | events when they are trying to turn the transmitters off. An example of an | ||
333 | input device which SHOULD generate *_RFKILL_ALL events is the wireless-kill | ||
334 | switch in a laptop which is NOT a hotkey, but a real switch that kills radios | ||
335 | in hardware, even if the O.S. has gone to lunch. An example of an input device | ||
336 | which SHOULD NOT generate *_RFKILL_ALL events by default, is any sort of hot | ||
337 | key that does nothing by itself, as well as any hot key that is type-specific | ||
338 | (e.g. the one for WLAN). | ||
339 | |||
340 | |||
341 | 3.1 Guidelines for wireless device drivers | ||
342 | ------------------------------------------ | ||
343 | |||
344 | 1. Each independent transmitter in a wireless device (usually there is only one | ||
345 | transmitter per device) should have a SINGLE rfkill class attached to it. | ||
346 | |||
347 | 2. If the device does not have any sort of hardware assistance to allow the | ||
348 | driver to rfkill the device, the driver should emulate it by taking all actions | ||
349 | required to silence the transmitter. | ||
350 | |||
351 | 3. If it is impossible to silence the transmitter (i.e. it still emits energy, | ||
352 | even if it is just in brief pulses, when there is no data to transmit and there | ||
353 | is no hardware support to turn it off) do NOT lie to the users. Do not attach | ||
354 | it to a rfkill class. The rfkill subsystem does not deal with data | ||
355 | transmission, it deals with energy emission. If the transmitter is emitting | ||
356 | energy, it is not blocked in rfkill terms. | ||
357 | |||
358 | 4. It doesn't matter if the device has multiple rfkill input lines affecting | ||
359 | the same transmitter, their combined state is to be exported as a single state | ||
360 | per transmitter (see rule 1). | ||
361 | |||
362 | This rule exists because users of the rfkill subsystem expect to get (and set, | ||
363 | when possible) the overall transmitter rfkill state, not of a particular rfkill | ||
364 | line. | ||
365 | |||
366 | Example of a WLAN wireless driver connected to the rfkill subsystem: | ||
367 | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
368 | |||
369 | A certain WLAN card has one input pin that causes it to block the transmitter | ||
370 | and makes the status of that input pin available (only for reading!) to the | ||
371 | kernel driver. This is a hard rfkill input line (it cannot be overridden by | ||
372 | the kernel driver). | ||
373 | |||
374 | The card also has one PCI register that, if manipulated by the driver, causes | ||
375 | it to block the transmitter. This is a soft rfkill input line. | ||
376 | |||
377 | It has also a thermal protection circuitry that shuts down its transmitter if | ||
378 | the card overheats, and makes the status of that protection available (only for | ||
379 | reading!) to the kernel driver. This is also a hard rfkill input line. | ||
380 | |||
381 | If either one of these rfkill lines are active, the transmitter is blocked by | ||
382 | the hardware and forced offline. | ||
383 | |||
384 | The driver should allocate and attach to its struct device *ONE* instance of | ||
385 | the rfkill class (there is only one transmitter). | ||
386 | |||
387 | It can implement the get_state() hook, and return RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED if | ||
388 | either one of its two hard rfkill input lines are active. If the two hard | ||
389 | rfkill lines are inactive, it must return RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED if its soft | ||
390 | rfkill input line is active. Only if none of the rfkill input lines are | ||
391 | active, will it return RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED. | ||
58 | 392 | ||
59 | For polling drivers: | 393 | If it doesn't implement the get_state() hook, it must make sure that its calls |
394 | to rfkill_force_state() are enough to keep the status always up-to-date, and it | ||
395 | must do a rfkill_force_state() on resume from sleep. | ||
60 | 396 | ||
397 | Every time the driver gets a notification from the card that one of its rfkill | ||
398 | lines changed state (polling might be needed on badly designed cards that don't | ||
399 | generate interrupts for such events), it recomputes the rfkill state as per | ||
400 | above, and calls rfkill_force_state() to update it. | ||
401 | |||
402 | The driver should implement the toggle_radio() hook, that: | ||
403 | |||
404 | 1. Returns an error if one of the hardware rfkill lines are active, and the | ||
405 | caller asked for RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED. | ||
406 | |||
407 | 2. Activates the soft rfkill line if the caller asked for state | ||
408 | RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED. It should do this even if one of the hard rfkill | ||
409 | lines are active, effectively double-blocking the transmitter. | ||
410 | |||
411 | 3. Deactivates the soft rfkill line if none of the hardware rfkill lines are | ||
412 | active and the caller asked for RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED. | ||
413 | |||
414 | =============================================================================== | ||
415 | 4: Kernel API | ||
416 | |||
417 | To build a driver with rfkill subsystem support, the driver should depend on | ||
418 | (or select) the Kconfig symbol RFKILL; it should _not_ depend on RKFILL_INPUT. | ||
419 | |||
420 | The hardware the driver talks to may be write-only (where the current state | ||
421 | of the hardware is unknown), or read-write (where the hardware can be queried | ||
422 | about its current state). | ||
423 | |||
424 | The rfkill class will call the get_state hook of a device every time it needs | ||
425 | to know the *real* current state of the hardware. This can happen often. | ||
426 | |||
427 | Some hardware provides events when its status changes. In these cases, it is | ||
428 | best for the driver to not provide a get_state hook, and instead register the | ||
429 | rfkill class *already* with the correct status, and keep it updated using | ||
430 | rfkill_force_state() when it gets an event from the hardware. | ||
431 | |||
432 | There is no provision for a statically-allocated rfkill struct. You must | ||
433 | use rfkill_allocate() to allocate one. | ||
434 | |||
435 | You should: | ||
61 | - rfkill_allocate() | 436 | - rfkill_allocate() |
62 | - input_allocate_polled_device() | 437 | - modify rfkill fields (flags, name) |
438 | - modify state to the current hardware state (THIS IS THE ONLY TIME | ||
439 | YOU CAN ACCESS state DIRECTLY) | ||
63 | - rfkill_register() | 440 | - rfkill_register() |
64 | - input_register_polled_device() | ||
65 | 441 | ||
66 | When a key event has been detected, the correct event should be | 442 | The only way to set a device to the RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED state is through |
67 | sent over the input device which has been registered by the driver. | 443 | a suitable return of get_state() or through rfkill_force_state(). |
68 | 444 | ||
69 | ==================================== | 445 | When a device is in the RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED state, the only way to switch |
70 | 3: Userspace support | 446 | it to a different state is through a suitable return of get_state() or through |
447 | rfkill_force_state(). | ||
448 | |||
449 | If toggle_radio() is called to set a device to state RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED | ||
450 | when that device is already at the RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED state, it should | ||
451 | not return an error. Instead, it should try to double-block the transmitter, | ||
452 | so that its state will change from RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED to | ||
453 | RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED should the hardware blocking cease. | ||
71 | 454 | ||
72 | For each key an input device will be created which will send out the correct | 455 | Please refer to the source for more documentation. |
73 | key event when the rfkill key has been pressed. | 456 | |
457 | =============================================================================== | ||
458 | 5: Userspace support | ||
459 | |||
460 | rfkill devices issue uevents (with an action of "change"), with the following | ||
461 | environment variables set: | ||
462 | |||
463 | RFKILL_NAME | ||
464 | RFKILL_STATE | ||
465 | RFKILL_TYPE | ||
466 | |||
467 | The ABI for these variables is defined by the sysfs attributes. It is best | ||
468 | to take a quick look at the source to make sure of the possible values. | ||
469 | |||
470 | It is expected that HAL will trap those, and bridge them to DBUS, etc. These | ||
471 | events CAN and SHOULD be used to give feedback to the user about the rfkill | ||
472 | status of the system. | ||
473 | |||
474 | Input devices may issue events that are related to rfkill. These are the | ||
475 | various KEY_* events and SW_* events supported by rfkill-input.c. | ||
476 | |||
477 | ******IMPORTANT****** | ||
478 | When rfkill-input is ACTIVE, userspace is NOT TO CHANGE THE STATE OF AN RFKILL | ||
479 | SWITCH IN RESPONSE TO AN INPUT EVENT also handled by rfkill-input, unless it | ||
480 | has set to true the user_claim attribute for that particular switch. This rule | ||
481 | is *absolute*; do NOT violate it. | ||
482 | ******IMPORTANT****** | ||
483 | |||
484 | Userspace must not assume it is the only source of control for rfkill switches. | ||
485 | Their state CAN and WILL change due to firmware actions, direct user actions, | ||
486 | and the rfkill-input EPO override for *_RFKILL_ALL. | ||
487 | |||
488 | When rfkill-input is not active, userspace must initiate a rfkill status | ||
489 | change by writing to the "state" attribute in order for anything to happen. | ||
490 | |||
491 | Take particular care to implement EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL properly. When that | ||
492 | switch is set to OFF, *every* rfkill device *MUST* be immediately put into the | ||
493 | RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED state, no questions asked. | ||

502 | by a write to the state attribute; | ||
503 | 1: RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED | ||
504 | transmiter is NOT forced off, and may operate if | ||
505 | all other conditions for such operation are met | ||

523 | A note about input devices and EV_SW events: | ||
524 | |||
525 | In order to know the current state of an input device switch (like | ||
526 | SW_RFKILL_ALL), you will need to use an IOCTL. That information is not | ||
527 | available through sysfs in a generic way at this time, and it is not available | ||
528 | through the rfkill class AT ALL. | ||
