2 | Date: January 2009 | ||
3 | Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> | ||
4 | Description: | ||
5 | The /sys/devices/.../power directory contains attributes | ||
6 | allowing the user space to check and modify some power | ||
7 | management related properties of given device. | ||
8 | |||
9 | What: /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup | ||
10 | Date: January 2009 | ||
11 | Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> | ||
12 | Description: | ||
13 | The /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup attribute allows the user | ||
14 | space to check if the device is enabled to wake up the system | ||
15 | from sleep states, such as the memory sleep state (suspend to | ||
16 | RAM) and hibernation (suspend to disk), and to enable or disable | ||
17 | it to do that as desired. | ||
18 | |||
19 | Some devices support "wakeup" events, which are hardware signals | ||
20 | used to activate the system from a sleep state. Such devices | ||
21 | have one of the following two values for the sysfs power/wakeup | ||
22 | file: | ||
23 | |||
24 | + "enabled\n" to issue the events; | ||
25 | + "disabled\n" not to do so; | ||
26 | |||
27 | In that cases the user space can change the setting represented | ||
28 | by the contents of this file by writing either "enabled", or | ||
29 | "disabled" to it. | ||
30 | |||
31 | For the devices that are not capable of generating system wakeup | ||
32 | events this file contains "\n". In that cases the user space | ||
33 | cannot modify the contents of this file and the device cannot be | ||
34 | enabled to wake up the system. | ||
35 | |||
36 | What: /sys/devices/.../power/control | ||
37 | Date: January 2009 | ||
38 | Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> | ||
39 | Description: | ||
40 | The /sys/devices/.../power/control attribute allows the user | ||
41 | space to control the run-time power management of the device. | ||
42 | |||
43 | All devices have one of the following two values for the | ||
44 | power/control file: | ||
45 | |||
46 | + "auto\n" to allow the device to be power managed at run time; | ||
47 | + "on\n" to prevent the device from being power managed; | ||
48 | |||
49 | The default for all devices is "auto", which means that they may | ||
50 | be subject to automatic power management, depending on their | ||
51 | drivers. Changing this attribute to "on" prevents the driver | ||
52 | from power managing the device at run time. Doing that while | ||
53 | the device is suspended causes it to be woken up. | ||
54 | |||
55 | What: /sys/devices/.../power/async | ||
56 | Date: January 2009 | ||
57 | Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> | ||
58 | Description: | ||
59 | The /sys/devices/.../async attribute allows the user space to | ||
60 | enable or diasble the device's suspend and resume callbacks to | ||
61 | be executed asynchronously (ie. in separate threads, in parallel | ||
62 | with the main suspend/resume thread) during system-wide power | ||
63 | transitions (eg. suspend to RAM, hibernation). | ||
64 | |||
65 | All devices have one of the following two values for the | ||
66 | power/async file: | ||
67 | |||
68 | + "enabled\n" to permit the asynchronous suspend/resume; | ||
69 | + "disabled\n" to forbid it; | ||
70 | |||
71 | The value of this attribute may be changed by writing either | ||
72 | "enabled", or "disabled" to it. | ||
73 | |||
74 | It generally is unsafe to permit the asynchronous suspend/resume | ||
75 | of a device unless it is certain that all of the PM dependencies | ||
76 | of the device are known to the PM core. However, for some | ||
77 | devices this attribute is set to "enabled" by bus type code or | ||
78 | device drivers and in that cases it should be safe to leave the | ||
79 | default value. | ||

20 | This prevents things like WARN_ON(!rcu_read_lock_held()) from giving false | ||
21 | positives when lockdep is disabled. | ||
22 | |||
23 | In addition, a separate kernel config parameter CONFIG_PROVE_RCU enables | ||
24 | checking of rcu_dereference() primitives: | ||
25 | |||
26 | rcu_dereference(p): | ||
27 | Check for RCU read-side critical section. | ||
28 | rcu_dereference_bh(p): | ||
29 | Check for RCU-bh read-side critical section. | ||
30 | rcu_dereference_sched(p): | ||
31 | Check for RCU-sched read-side critical section. | ||
32 | srcu_dereference(p, sp): | ||
33 | Check for SRCU read-side critical section. | ||
34 | rcu_dereference_check(p, c): | ||
35 | Use explicit check expression "c". | ||
36 | rcu_dereference_raw(p) | ||
37 | Don't check. (Use sparingly, if at all.) | ||
38 | |||
39 | The rcu_dereference_check() check expression can be any boolean | ||
40 | expression, but would normally include one of the rcu_read_lock_held() | ||
41 | family of functions and a lockdep expression. However, any boolean | ||
42 | expression can be used. For a moderately ornate example, consider | ||
43 | the following: | ||
44 | |||
45 | file = rcu_dereference_check(fdt->fd[fd], | ||
46 | rcu_read_lock_held() || | ||
47 | lockdep_is_held(&files->file_lock) || | ||
48 | atomic_read(&files->count) == 1); | ||
49 | |||
50 | This expression picks up the pointer "fdt->fd[fd]" in an RCU-safe manner, | ||
51 | and, if CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is configured, verifies that this expression | ||
52 | is used in: | ||
53 | |||
54 | 1. An RCU read-side critical section, or | ||
55 | 2. with files->file_lock held, or | ||
56 | 3. on an unshared files_struct. | ||
57 | |||
58 | In case (1), the pointer is picked up in an RCU-safe manner for vanilla | ||
59 | RCU read-side critical sections, in case (2) the ->file_lock prevents | ||
60 | any change from taking place, and finally, in case (3) the current task | ||
61 | is the only task accessing the file_struct, again preventing any change | ||
62 | from taking place. | ||
63 | |||
64 | There are currently only "universal" versions of the rcu_assign_pointer() | ||
65 | and RCU list-/tree-traversal primitives, which do not (yet) check for | ||
66 | being in an RCU read-side critical section. In the future, separate | ||
67 | versions of these primitives might be created. | ||

1 | Using RCU's CPU Stall Detector | ||
2 | |||
3 | The CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR kernel config parameter enables | ||
4 | RCU's CPU stall detector, which detects conditions that unduly delay | ||
5 | RCU grace periods. The stall detector's idea of what constitutes | ||
6 | "unduly delayed" is controlled by a pair of C preprocessor macros: | ||
7 | |||
8 | RCU_SECONDS_TILL_STALL_CHECK | ||
9 | |||
10 | This macro defines the period of time that RCU will wait from | ||
11 | the beginning of a grace period until it issues an RCU CPU | ||
12 | stall warning. It is normally ten seconds. | ||
13 | |||
14 | RCU_SECONDS_TILL_STALL_RECHECK | ||
15 | |||
16 | This macro defines the period of time that RCU will wait after | ||
17 | issuing a stall warning until it issues another stall warning. | ||
18 | It is normally set to thirty seconds. | ||
19 | |||
20 | RCU_STALL_RAT_DELAY | ||
21 | |||
22 | The CPU stall detector tries to make the offending CPU rat on itself, | ||
23 | as this often gives better-quality stack traces. However, if | ||
24 | the offending CPU does not detect its own stall in the number | ||
25 | of jiffies specified by RCU_STALL_RAT_DELAY, then other CPUs will | ||
26 | complain. This is normally set to two jiffies. | ||
27 | |||
28 | The following problems can result in an RCU CPU stall warning: | ||
29 | |||
30 | o A CPU looping in an RCU read-side critical section. | ||
31 | |||
32 | o A CPU looping with interrupts disabled. | ||
33 | |||
34 | o A CPU looping with preemption disabled. | ||
35 | |||
36 | o For !CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels, a CPU looping anywhere in the kernel | ||
37 | without invoking schedule(). | ||
38 | |||
39 | o A bug in the RCU implementation. | ||
40 | |||
41 | o A hardware failure. This is quite unlikely, but has occurred | ||
42 | at least once in a former life. A CPU failed in a running system, | ||
43 | becoming unresponsive, but not causing an immediate crash. | ||
44 | This resulted in a series of RCU CPU stall warnings, eventually | ||
45 | leading the realization that the CPU had failed. | ||
46 | |||
47 | The RCU, RCU-sched, and RCU-bh implementations have CPU stall warning. | ||
48 | SRCU does not do so directly, but its calls to synchronize_sched() will | ||
49 | result in RCU-sched detecting any CPU stalls that might be occurring. | ||
50 | |||
51 | To diagnose the cause of the stall, inspect the stack traces. The offending | ||
52 | function will usually be near the top of the stack. If you have a series | ||
53 | of stall warnings from a single extended stall, comparing the stack traces | ||
54 | can often help determine where the stall is occurring, which will usually | ||
55 | be in the function nearest the top of the stack that stays the same from | ||
56 | trace to trace. | ||
57 | |||
58 | RCU bugs can often be debugged with the help of CONFIG_RCU_TRACE. | ||

191 | SMBus Alert was introduced in Revision 1.0 of the specification. | ||
192 | |||
193 | The SMBus alert protocol allows several SMBus slave devices to share a | ||
194 | single interrupt pin on the SMBus master, while still allowing the master | ||
195 | to know which slave triggered the interrupt. | ||
196 | |||
197 | This is implemented the following way in the Linux kernel: | ||
198 | * I2C bus drivers which support SMBus alert should call | ||
199 | i2c_setup_smbus_alert() to setup SMBus alert support. | ||
200 | * I2C drivers for devices which can trigger SMBus alerts should implement | ||
201 | the optional alert() callback. | ||
202 | |||

14 | In This Release | ||
15 | =============== | ||
16 | |||
17 | This file describes the ixgbevf Linux* Base Driver for Intel Network | ||
18 | Connection. | ||
19 | |||
20 | The ixgbevf driver supports 82599-based virtual function devices that can only | ||
21 | be activated on kernels with CONFIG_PCI_IOV enabled. | ||
22 | |||
23 | The ixgbevf driver supports virtual functions generated by the ixgbe driver | ||
24 | with a max_vfs value of 1 or greater. | ||
25 | |||
26 | The guest OS loading the ixgbevf driver must support MSI-X interrupts. | ||
27 | |||
28 | VLANs: There is a limit of a total of 32 shared VLANs to 1 or more VFs. | ||
29 | |||

1 | Thin-streams and TCP | ||
2 | ==================== | ||
3 | A wide range of Internet-based services that use reliable transport | ||
4 | protocols display what we call thin-stream properties. This means | ||
5 | that the application sends data with such a low rate that the | ||
6 | retransmission mechanisms of the transport protocol are not fully | ||
7 | effective. In time-dependent scenarios (like online games, control | ||
8 | systems, stock trading etc.) where the user experience depends | ||
9 | on the data delivery latency, packet loss can be devastating for | ||
10 | the service quality. Extreme latencies are caused by TCP's | ||
11 | dependency on the arrival of new data from the application to trigger | ||
12 | retransmissions effectively through fast retransmit instead of | ||
13 | waiting for long timeouts. | ||
14 | |||
15 | After analysing a large number of time-dependent interactive | ||
16 | applications, we have seen that they often produce thin streams | ||
17 | and also stay with this traffic pattern throughout its entire | ||
18 | lifespan. The combination of time-dependency and the fact that the | ||
19 | streams provoke high latencies when using TCP is unfortunate. | ||
20 | |||
21 | In order to reduce application-layer latency when packets are lost, | ||
22 | a set of mechanisms has been made, which address these latency issues | ||
23 | for thin streams. In short, if the kernel detects a thin stream, | ||
24 | the retransmission mechanisms are modified in the following manner: | ||
25 | |||
26 | 1) If the stream is thin, fast retransmit on the first dupACK. | ||
27 | 2) If the stream is thin, do not apply exponential backoff. | ||
28 | |||
29 | These enhancements are applied only if the stream is detected as | ||
30 | thin. This is accomplished by defining a threshold for the number | ||
31 | of packets in flight. If there are less than 4 packets in flight, | ||
32 | fast retransmissions can not be triggered, and the stream is prone | ||
33 | to experience high retransmission latencies. | ||
34 | |||
35 | Since these mechanisms are targeted at time-dependent applications, | ||
36 | they must be specifically activated by the application using the | ||
37 | TCP_THIN_LINEAR_TIMEOUTS and TCP_THIN_DUPACK IOCTLS or the | ||
38 | tcp_thin_linear_timeouts and tcp_thin_dupack sysctls. Both | ||
39 | modifications are turned off by default. | ||

1 | GDB intends to support the following hardware debug features of BookE | ||
2 | processors: | ||
3 | |||
4 | 4 hardware breakpoints (IAC) | ||
5 | 2 hardware watchpoints (read, write and read-write) (DAC) | ||
6 | 2 value conditions for the hardware watchpoints (DVC) | ||
7 | |||
8 | For that, we need to extend ptrace so that GDB can query and set these | ||
9 | resources. Since we're extending, we're trying to create an interface | ||
10 | that's extendable and that covers both BookE and server processors, so | ||
11 | that GDB doesn't need to special-case each of them. We added the | ||
12 | following 3 new ptrace requests. | ||
13 | |||
14 | 1. PTRACE_PPC_GETHWDEBUGINFO | ||
15 | |||
16 | Query for GDB to discover the hardware debug features. The main info to | ||
17 | be returned here is the minimum alignment for the hardware watchpoints. | ||
18 | BookE processors don't have restrictions here, but server processors have | ||
19 | an 8-byte alignment restriction for hardware watchpoints. We'd like to avoid | ||
20 | adding special cases to GDB based on what it sees in AUXV. | ||
21 | |||
22 | Since we're at it, we added other useful info that the kernel can return to | ||
23 | GDB: this query will return the number of hardware breakpoints, hardware | ||
24 | watchpoints and whether it supports a range of addresses and a condition. | ||
25 | The query will fill the following structure provided by the requesting process: | ||
26 | |||
27 | struct ppc_debug_info { | ||
28 | unit32_t version; | ||
29 | unit32_t num_instruction_bps; | ||
30 | unit32_t num_data_bps; | ||
31 | unit32_t num_condition_regs; | ||
32 | unit32_t data_bp_alignment; | ||
33 | unit32_t sizeof_condition; /* size of the DVC register */ | ||
34 | uint64_t features; /* bitmask of the individual flags */ | ||
35 | }; | ||
36 | |||
37 | features will have bits indicating whether there is support for: | ||
38 | |||
39 | #define PPC_DEBUG_FEATURE_INSN_BP_RANGE 0x1 | ||
40 | #define PPC_DEBUG_FEATURE_INSN_BP_MASK 0x2 | ||
41 | #define PPC_DEBUG_FEATURE_DATA_BP_RANGE 0x4 | ||
42 | #define PPC_DEBUG_FEATURE_DATA_BP_MASK 0x8 | ||
43 | |||
44 | 2. PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG | ||
45 | |||
46 | Sets a hardware breakpoint or watchpoint, according to the provided structure: | ||
47 | |||
48 | struct ppc_hw_breakpoint { | ||
49 | uint32_t version; | ||
50 | #define PPC_BREAKPOINT_TRIGGER_EXECUTE 0x1 | ||

56 | #define PPC_BREAKPOINT_MODE_RANGE_EXCLUSIVE 0x2 | ||
57 | #define PPC_BREAKPOINT_MODE_MASK 0x3 | ||
58 | uint32_t addr_mode; /* address match mode */ | ||

66 | #define PPC_BREAKPOINT_CONDITION_BE_ALL 0x00ff0000 /* byte enable bits */ | ||
67 | #define PPC_BREAKPOINT_CONDITION_BE(n) (1<<((n)+16)) | ||
68 | uint32_t condition_mode; /* break/watchpoint condition flags */ | ||
69 | |||
70 | uint64_t addr; | ||
71 | uint64_t addr2; | ||
72 | uint64_t condition_value; | ||
73 | }; | ||
74 | |||
75 | A request specifies one event, not necessarily just one register to be set. | ||
76 | For instance, if the request is for a watchpoint with a condition, both the | ||
77 | DAC and DVC registers will be set in the same request. | ||
78 | |||
79 | With this GDB can ask for all kinds of hardware breakpoints and watchpoints | ||
80 | that the BookE supports. COMEFROM breakpoints available in server processors | ||
81 | are not contemplated, but that is out of the scope of this work. | ||
82 | |||
83 | ptrace will return an integer (handle) uniquely identifying the breakpoint or | ||
84 | watchpoint just created. This integer will be used in the PTRACE_DELHWDEBUG | ||
85 | request to ask for its removal. Return -ENOSPC if the requested breakpoint | ||
86 | can't be allocated on the registers. | ||
87 | |||
88 | Some examples of using the structure to: | ||
89 | |||
90 | - set a breakpoint in the first breakpoint register | ||
91 | |||

96 | p.addr = (uint64_t) address; | ||
97 | p.addr2 = 0; | ||
98 | p.condition_value = 0; | ||
99 | |||
100 | - set a watchpoint which triggers on reads in the second watchpoint register | ||
101 | |||
102 | p.version = PPC_DEBUG_CURRENT_VERSION; | ||
103 | p.trigger_type = PPC_BREAKPOINT_TRIGGER_READ; | ||

107 | p.addr2 = 0; | ||
108 | p.condition_value = 0; | ||
109 | |||
110 | - set a watchpoint which triggers only with a specific value | ||
111 | |||
112 | p.version = PPC_DEBUG_CURRENT_VERSION; | ||
113 | p.trigger_type = PPC_BREAKPOINT_TRIGGER_READ; | ||

117 | p.addr2 = 0; | ||
118 | p.condition_value = (uint64_t) condition; | ||
119 | |||
120 | - set a ranged hardware breakpoint | ||
121 | |||
122 | p.version = PPC_DEBUG_CURRENT_VERSION; | ||
123 | p.trigger_type = PPC_BREAKPOINT_TRIGGER_EXECUTE; | ||
124 | p.addr_mode = PPC_BREAKPOINT_MODE_RANGE_INCLUSIVE; | ||
125 | p.condition_mode = PPC_BREAKPOINT_CONDITION_NONE; | ||

127 | p.addr2 = (uint64_t) end_range; | ||
128 | p.condition_value = 0; | ||
129 | |||
130 | 3. PTRACE_DELHWDEBUG | ||
131 | |||
132 | Takes an integer which identifies an existing breakpoint or watchpoint | ||

214 | An arch may pass in a unique value (frame pointer) to both the entering and | ||
215 | exiting of a function. On exit, the value is compared and if it does not | ||
216 | match, then it will panic the kernel. This is largely a sanity check for bad | ||
217 | code generation with gcc. If gcc for your port sanely updates the frame | ||
218 | pointer under different opitmization levels, then ignore this option. | ||
219 | |||
220 | However, adding support for it isn't terribly difficult. In your assembly code | ||
221 | that calls prepare_ftrace_return(), pass the frame pointer as the 3rd argument. | ||
222 | Then in the C version of that function, do what the x86 port does and pass it | ||
223 | along to ftrace_push_return_trace() instead of a stub value of 0. | ||
224 | |||
225 | Similarly, when you call ftrace_return_to_handler(), pass it the frame pointer. | ||

451 | GFP_NOFS. | 459 | internal PM calls, even if it fails. (Exercise: Why?) |
452 | |||
453 | Alternatively, if the critical section might call some of the | ||
454 | usb_autopm_* routines, the driver can avoid deadlock by doing: | ||
455 | |||
456 | down(&udev->dev.sem); | ||
457 | rc = usb_autopm_get_interface(intf); | ||
458 | |||
459 | and at the end of the critical section: | ||
460 | |||
461 | if (!rc) | ||
462 | usb_autopm_put_interface(intf); | ||
463 | up(&udev->dev.sem); | ||
464 | |||
465 | Holding the device semaphore will block all external PM calls, and the | ||
466 | usb_autopm_get_interface() will prevent any internal PM calls, even if | ||
467 | it fails. (Exercise: Why?) | ||
468 | |||
469 | The rules for locking order are: | ||
470 | |||
471 | Never acquire any device semaphore while holding any PM mutex. | ||
472 | |||
473 | Never acquire udev->pm_mutex while holding the PM mutex for | ||
474 | a device that isn't a descendant of udev. | ||
475 | |||
476 | In other words, PM mutexes should only be acquired going up the device | ||
477 | tree, and they should be acquired only after locking all the device | ||
478 | semaphores you need to hold. These rules don't matter to drivers very | ||
479 | much; they usually affect just the USB core. | ||
480 | |||
481 | Still, drivers do need to be careful. For example, many drivers use a | ||
482 | private mutex to synchronize their normal I/O activities with their | ||
483 | disconnect method. Now if the driver supports autosuspend then it | ||
484 | must call usb_autopm_put_interface() from somewhere -- maybe from its | ||
485 | close method. It should make the call while holding the private mutex, | ||
486 | since a driver shouldn't call any of the usb_autopm_* functions for an | ||
487 | interface from which it has been unbound. | ||
488 | |||
489 | But the usb_autpm_* routines always acquire the device's PM mutex, and | ||
490 | consequently the locking order has to be: private mutex first, PM | ||
491 | mutex second. Since the suspend method is always called with the PM | ||
492 | mutex held, it mustn't try to acquire the private mutex. It has to | ||
493 | synchronize with the driver's I/O activities in some other way. | ||

610 | 610 | Please see Documentation/video4linux/videobuf for more information on how | |
611 | Any driver using videobuf should provide operations (callbacks) for | 611 | to use the videobuf layer. |
612 | four handlers: | ||
613 | |||
614 | ops->buf_setup - calculates the size of the video buffers and avoid they | ||
615 | to waste more than some maximum limit of RAM; | ||
616 | ops->buf_prepare - fills the video buffer structs and calls | ||
617 | videobuf_iolock() to alloc and prepare mmaped memory; | ||
618 | ops->buf_queue - advices the driver that another buffer were | ||
619 | requested (by read() or by QBUF); | ||
620 | ops->buf_release - frees any buffer that were allocated. | ||
621 | |||
622 | In order to use it, the driver need to have a code (generally called at | ||
623 | interrupt context) that will properly handle the buffer request lists, | ||
624 | announcing that a new buffer were filled. | ||
625 | |||
626 | The irq handling code should handle the videobuf task lists, in order | ||
627 | to advice videobuf that a new frame were filled, in order to honor to a | ||
628 | request. The code is generally like this one: | ||
629 | if (list_empty(&dma_q->active)) | ||
630 | return; | ||
631 | |||
632 | buf = list_entry(dma_q->active.next, struct vbuffer, vb.queue); | ||
633 | |||
634 | if (!waitqueue_active(&buf->vb.done)) | ||
635 | return; | ||
636 | |||
637 | /* Some logic to handle the buf may be needed here */ | ||
638 | |||
639 | list_del(&buf->vb.queue); | ||
640 | do_gettimeofday(&buf->vb.ts); | ||
641 | wake_up(&buf->vb.done); | ||
642 | |||
643 | Those are the videobuffer functions used on drivers, implemented on | ||
644 | videobuf-core: | ||
645 | |||
646 | - Videobuf init functions | ||
647 | videobuf_queue_sg_init() | ||
648 | Initializes the videobuf infrastructure. This function should be | ||
649 | called before any other videobuf function on drivers that uses DMA | ||
650 | Scatter/Gather buffers. | ||
651 | |||
652 | videobuf_queue_dma_contig_init | ||
653 | Initializes the videobuf infrastructure. This function should be | ||

655 | contiguous buffers. | ||

658 | Initializes the videobuf infrastructure. This function should be | ||
659 | called before any other videobuf function on USB (and other drivers) | ||
660 | that need a vmalloced type of videobuf. | ||
661 | |||
662 | - videobuf_iolock() | ||
663 | Prepares the videobuf memory for the proper method (read, mmap, overlay). | ||
664 | |||
665 | - videobuf_queue_is_busy() | ||
666 | Checks if a videobuf is streaming. | ||
667 | |||
668 | - videobuf_queue_cancel() | ||
669 | Stops video handling. | ||
670 | |||
671 | - videobuf_mmap_free() | ||
672 | frees mmap buffers. | ||
673 | |||
674 | - videobuf_stop() | ||
675 | Stops video handling, ends mmap and frees mmap and other buffers. | ||
676 | |||
677 | - V4L2 api functions. Those functions correspond to VIDIOC_foo ioctls: | ||
678 | videobuf_reqbufs(), videobuf_querybuf(), videobuf_qbuf(), | ||
679 | videobuf_dqbuf(), videobuf_streamon(), videobuf_streamoff(). | ||
680 | |||
681 | - V4L1 api function (corresponds to VIDIOCMBUF ioctl): | ||
682 | videobuf_cgmbuf() | ||
683 | This function is used to provide backward compatibility with V4L1 | ||
684 | API. | ||
685 | |||
686 | - Some help functions for read()/poll() operations: | ||

1 | An introduction to the videobuf layer | ||
2 | Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> | ||
3 | Current as of 2.6.33 | ||
4 | |||
5 | The videobuf layer functions as a sort of glue layer between a V4L2 driver | ||
6 | and user space. It handles the allocation and management of buffers for | ||
7 | the storage of video frames. There is a set of functions which can be used | ||
8 | to implement many of the standard POSIX I/O system calls, including read(), | ||
9 | poll(), and, happily, mmap(). Another set of functions can be used to | ||
10 | implement the bulk of the V4L2 ioctl() calls related to streaming I/O, | ||
11 | including buffer allocation, queueing and dequeueing, and streaming | ||
12 | control. Using videobuf imposes a few design decisions on the driver | ||
13 | author, but the payback comes in the form of reduced code in the driver and | ||
14 | a consistent implementation of the V4L2 user-space API. | ||
15 | |||
16 | Buffer types | ||
17 | |||
18 | Not all video devices use the same kind of buffers. In fact, there are (at | ||
19 | least) three common variations: | ||
20 | |||
21 | - Buffers which are scattered in both the physical and (kernel) virtual | ||
22 | address spaces. (Almost) all user-space buffers are like this, but it | ||
23 | makes great sense to allocate kernel-space buffers this way as well when | ||
24 | it is possible. Unfortunately, it is not always possible; working with | ||
25 | this kind of buffer normally requires hardware which can do | ||
26 | scatter/gather DMA operations. | ||
27 | |||
28 | - Buffers which are physically scattered, but which are virtually | ||
29 | contiguous; buffers allocated with vmalloc(), in other words. These | ||
30 | buffers are just as hard to use for DMA operations, but they can be | ||
31 | useful in situations where DMA is not available but virtually-contiguous | ||
32 | buffers are convenient. | ||
33 | |||
34 | - Buffers which are physically contiguous. Allocation of this kind of | ||
35 | buffer can be unreliable on fragmented systems, but simpler DMA | ||
36 | controllers cannot deal with anything else. | ||
37 | |||
38 | Videobuf can work with all three types of buffers, but the driver author | ||
39 | must pick one at the outset and design the driver around that decision. | ||
40 | |||
41 | [It's worth noting that there's a fourth kind of buffer: "overlay" buffers | ||
42 | which are located within the system's video memory. The overlay | ||
43 | functionality is considered to be deprecated for most use, but it still | ||
44 | shows up occasionally in system-on-chip drivers where the performance | ||
45 | benefits merit the use of this technique. Overlay buffers can be handled | ||
46 | as a form of scattered buffer, but there are very few implementations in | ||
47 | the kernel and a description of this technique is currently beyond the | ||
48 | scope of this document.] | ||
49 | |||
50 | Data structures, callbacks, and initialization | ||
51 | |||
52 | Depending on which type of buffers are being used, the driver should | ||
53 | include one of the following files: | ||
54 | |||
55 | <media/videobuf-dma-sg.h> /* Physically scattered */ | ||
56 | <media/videobuf-vmalloc.h> /* vmalloc() buffers */ | ||
57 | <media/videobuf-dma-contig.h> /* Physically contiguous */ | ||
58 | |||
59 | The driver's data structure describing a V4L2 device should include a | ||
60 | struct videobuf_queue instance for the management of the buffer queue, | ||
61 | along with a list_head for the queue of available buffers. There will also | ||
62 | need to be an interrupt-safe spinlock which is used to protect (at least) | ||
63 | the queue. | ||
64 | |||
65 | The next step is to write four simple callbacks to help videobuf deal with | ||
66 | the management of buffers: | ||
67 | |||
68 | struct videobuf_queue_ops { | ||
69 | int (*buf_setup)(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
70 | unsigned int *count, unsigned int *size); | ||
71 | int (*buf_prepare)(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
72 | struct videobuf_buffer *vb, | ||
73 | enum v4l2_field field); | ||
74 | void (*buf_queue)(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
75 | struct videobuf_buffer *vb); | ||
76 | void (*buf_release)(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
77 | struct videobuf_buffer *vb); | ||
78 | }; | ||
79 | |||
80 | buf_setup() is called early in the I/O process, when streaming is being | ||
81 | initiated; its purpose is to tell videobuf about the I/O stream. The count | ||
82 | parameter will be a suggested number of buffers to use; the driver should | ||
83 | check it for rationality and adjust it if need be. As a practical rule, a | ||
84 | minimum of two buffers are needed for proper streaming, and there is | ||
85 | usually a maximum (which cannot exceed 32) which makes sense for each | ||
86 | device. The size parameter should be set to the expected (maximum) size | ||
87 | for each frame of data. | ||
88 | |||
89 | Each buffer (in the form of a struct videobuf_buffer pointer) will be | ||
90 | passed to buf_prepare(), which should set the buffer's size, width, height, | ||
91 | and field fields properly. If the buffer's state field is | ||
92 | VIDEOBUF_NEEDS_INIT, the driver should pass it to: | ||
93 | |||
94 | int videobuf_iolock(struct videobuf_queue* q, struct videobuf_buffer *vb, | ||
95 | struct v4l2_framebuffer *fbuf); | ||
96 | |||
97 | Among other things, this call will usually allocate memory for the buffer. | ||
98 | Finally, the buf_prepare() function should set the buffer's state to | ||
99 | VIDEOBUF_PREPARED. | ||
100 | |||
101 | When a buffer is queued for I/O, it is passed to buf_queue(), which should | ||
102 | put it onto the driver's list of available buffers and set its state to | ||
103 | VIDEOBUF_QUEUED. Note that this function is called with the queue spinlock | ||
104 | held; if it tries to acquire it as well things will come to a screeching | ||
105 | halt. Yes, this is the voice of experience. Note also that videobuf may | ||
106 | wait on the first buffer in the queue; placing other buffers in front of it | ||
107 | could again gum up the works. So use list_add_tail() to enqueue buffers. | ||
108 | |||
109 | Finally, buf_release() is called when a buffer is no longer intended to be | ||
110 | used. The driver should ensure that there is no I/O active on the buffer, | ||
111 | then pass it to the appropriate free routine(s): | ||
112 | |||
113 | /* Scatter/gather drivers */ | ||
114 | int videobuf_dma_unmap(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
115 | struct videobuf_dmabuf *dma); | ||
116 | int videobuf_dma_free(struct videobuf_dmabuf *dma); | ||
117 | |||
118 | /* vmalloc drivers */ | ||
119 | void videobuf_vmalloc_free (struct videobuf_buffer *buf); | ||
120 | |||
121 | /* Contiguous drivers */ | ||
122 | void videobuf_dma_contig_free(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
123 | struct videobuf_buffer *buf); | ||
124 | |||
125 | One way to ensure that a buffer is no longer under I/O is to pass it to: | ||
126 | |||
127 | int videobuf_waiton(struct videobuf_buffer *vb, int non_blocking, int intr); | ||
128 | |||
129 | Here, vb is the buffer, non_blocking indicates whether non-blocking I/O | ||
130 | should be used (it should be zero in the buf_release() case), and intr | ||
131 | controls whether an interruptible wait is used. | ||
132 | |||
133 | File operations | ||
134 | |||
135 | At this point, much of the work is done; much of the rest is slipping | ||
136 | videobuf calls into the implementation of the other driver callbacks. The | ||
137 | first step is in the open() function, which must initialize the | ||
138 | videobuf queue. The function to use depends on the type of buffer used: | ||
139 | |||
140 | void videobuf_queue_sg_init(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
141 | struct videobuf_queue_ops *ops, | ||
142 | struct device *dev, | ||
143 | spinlock_t *irqlock, | ||
144 | enum v4l2_buf_type type, | ||
145 | enum v4l2_field field, | ||
146 | unsigned int msize, | ||
147 | void *priv); | ||
148 | |||
149 | void videobuf_queue_vmalloc_init(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
150 | struct videobuf_queue_ops *ops, | ||
151 | struct device *dev, | ||
152 | spinlock_t *irqlock, | ||
153 | enum v4l2_buf_type type, | ||
154 | enum v4l2_field field, | ||
155 | unsigned int msize, | ||
156 | void *priv); | ||
157 | |||
158 | void videobuf_queue_dma_contig_init(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
159 | struct videobuf_queue_ops *ops, | ||
160 | struct device *dev, | ||
161 | spinlock_t *irqlock, | ||
162 | enum v4l2_buf_type type, | ||
163 | enum v4l2_field field, | ||
164 | unsigned int msize, | ||
165 | void *priv); | ||
166 | |||
167 | In each case, the parameters are the same: q is the queue structure for the | ||
168 | device, ops is the set of callbacks as described above, dev is the device | ||
169 | structure for this video device, irqlock is an interrupt-safe spinlock to | ||
170 | protect access to the data structures, type is the buffer type used by the | ||
171 | device (cameras will use V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE, for example), field | ||
172 | describes which field is being captured (often V4L2_FIELD_NONE for | ||
173 | progressive devices), msize is the size of any containing structure used | ||
174 | around struct videobuf_buffer, and priv is a private data pointer which | ||
175 | shows up in the priv_data field of struct videobuf_queue. Note that these | ||
176 | are void functions which, evidently, are immune to failure. | ||
177 | |||
178 | V4L2 capture drivers can be written to support either of two APIs: the | ||
179 | read() system call and the rather more complicated streaming mechanism. As | ||
180 | a general rule, it is necessary to support both to ensure that all | ||
181 | applications have a chance of working with the device. Videobuf makes it | ||
182 | easy to do that with the same code. To implement read(), the driver need | ||
183 | only make a call to one of: | ||
184 | |||
185 | ssize_t videobuf_read_one(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
186 | char __user *data, size_t count, | ||
187 | loff_t *ppos, int nonblocking); | ||
188 | |||
189 | ssize_t videobuf_read_stream(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
190 | char __user *data, size_t count, | ||
191 | loff_t *ppos, int vbihack, int nonblocking); | ||
192 | |||
193 | Either one of these functions will read frame data into data, returning the | ||
194 | amount actually read; the difference is that videobuf_read_one() will only | ||
195 | read a single frame, while videobuf_read_stream() will read multiple frames | ||
196 | if they are needed to satisfy the count requested by the application. A | ||
197 | typical driver read() implementation will start the capture engine, call | ||
198 | one of the above functions, then stop the engine before returning (though a | ||
199 | smarter implementation might leave the engine running for a little while in | ||
200 | anticipation of another read() call happening in the near future). | ||
201 | |||
202 | The poll() function can usually be implemented with a direct call to: | ||
203 | |||
204 | unsigned int videobuf_poll_stream(struct file *file, | ||
205 | struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
206 | poll_table *wait); | ||
207 | |||
208 | Note that the actual wait queue eventually used will be the one associated | ||
209 | with the first available buffer. | ||
210 | |||
211 | When streaming I/O is done to kernel-space buffers, the driver must support | ||
212 | the mmap() system call to enable user space to access the data. In many | ||
213 | V4L2 drivers, the often-complex mmap() implementation simplifies to a | ||
214 | single call to: | ||
215 | |||
216 | int videobuf_mmap_mapper(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
217 | struct vm_area_struct *vma); | ||
218 | |||
219 | Everything else is handled by the videobuf code. | ||
220 | |||
221 | The release() function requires two separate videobuf calls: | ||
222 | |||
223 | void videobuf_stop(struct videobuf_queue *q); | ||
224 | int videobuf_mmap_free(struct videobuf_queue *q); | ||
225 | |||
226 | The call to videobuf_stop() terminates any I/O in progress - though it is | ||
227 | still up to the driver to stop the capture engine. The call to | ||
228 | videobuf_mmap_free() will ensure that all buffers have been unmapped; if | ||
229 | so, they will all be passed to the buf_release() callback. If buffers | ||
230 | remain mapped, videobuf_mmap_free() returns an error code instead. The | ||
231 | purpose is clearly to cause the closing of the file descriptor to fail if | ||
232 | buffers are still mapped, but every driver in the 2.6.32 kernel cheerfully | ||
233 | ignores its return value. | ||
234 | |||
235 | ioctl() operations | ||
236 | |||
237 | The V4L2 API includes a very long list of driver callbacks to respond to | ||
238 | the many ioctl() commands made available to user space. A number of these | ||
239 | - those associated with streaming I/O - turn almost directly into videobuf | ||
240 | calls. The relevant helper functions are: | ||
241 | |||
242 | int videobuf_reqbufs(struct videobuf_queue *q, | ||
243 | struct v4l2_requestbuffers *req); | ||
244 | int videobuf_querybuf(struct videobuf_queue *q, struct v4l2_buffer *b); | ||
245 | int videobuf_qbuf(struct videobuf_queue *q, struct v4l2_buffer *b); | ||
246 | int videobuf_dqbuf(struct videobuf_queue *q, struct v4l2_buffer *b, | ||
247 | int nonblocking); | ||
248 | int videobuf_streamon(struct videobuf_queue *q); | ||
249 | int videobuf_streamoff(struct videobuf_queue *q); | ||
250 | int videobuf_cgmbuf(struct videobuf_queue *q, struct video_mbuf *mbuf, | ||
251 | int count); | ||
252 | |||
253 | So, for example, a VIDIOC_REQBUFS call turns into a call to the driver's | ||
254 | vidioc_reqbufs() callback which, in turn, usually only needs to locate the | ||
255 | proper struct videobuf_queue pointer and pass it to videobuf_reqbufs(). | ||
256 | These support functions can replace a great deal of buffer management | ||
257 | boilerplate in a lot of V4L2 drivers. | ||
258 | |||
259 | The vidioc_streamon() and vidioc_streamoff() functions will be a bit more | ||
260 | complex, of course, since they will also need to deal with starting and | ||
261 | stopping the capture engine. videobuf_cgmbuf(), called from the driver's | ||
262 | vidiocgmbuf() function, only exists if the V4L1 compatibility module has | ||
263 | been selected with CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT, so its use must be surrounded | ||
264 | with #ifdef directives. | ||
265 | |||
266 | Buffer allocation | ||
267 | |||
268 | Thus far, we have talked about buffers, but have not looked at how they are | ||
269 | allocated. The scatter/gather case is the most complex on this front. For | ||
270 | allocation, the driver can leave buffer allocation entirely up to the | ||
271 | videobuf layer; in this case, buffers will be allocated as anonymous | ||
272 | user-space pages and will be very scattered indeed. If the application is | ||
273 | using user-space buffers, no allocation is needed; the videobuf layer will | ||
274 | take care of calling get_user_pages() and filling in the scatterlist array. | ||
275 | |||
276 | If the driver needs to do its own memory allocation, it should be done in | ||
277 | the vidioc_reqbufs() function, *after* calling videobuf_reqbufs(). The | ||
278 | first step is a call to: | ||
279 | |||
280 | struct videobuf_dmabuf *videobuf_to_dma(struct videobuf_buffer *buf); | ||
281 | |||
282 | The returned videobuf_dmabuf structure (defined in | ||
283 | <media/videobuf-dma-sg.h>) includes a couple of relevant fields: | ||
284 | |||
285 | struct scatterlist *sglist; | ||
286 | int sglen; | ||
287 | |||
288 | The driver must allocate an appropriately-sized scatterlist array and | ||
289 | populate it with pointers to the pieces of the allocated buffer; sglen | ||
290 | should be set to the length of the array. | ||
291 | |||
292 | Drivers using the vmalloc() method need not (and cannot) concern themselves | ||
293 | with buffer allocation at all; videobuf will handle those details. The | ||
294 | same is normally true of contiguous-DMA drivers as well; videobuf will | ||
295 | allocate the buffers (with dma_alloc_coherent()) when it sees fit. That | ||
296 | means that these drivers may be trying to do high-order allocations at any | ||
297 | time, an operation which is not always guaranteed to work. Some drivers | ||
298 | play tricks by allocating DMA space at system boot time; videobuf does not | ||
299 | currently play well with those drivers. | ||
300 | |||
301 | As of 2.6.31, contiguous-DMA drivers can work with a user-supplied buffer, | ||
302 | as long as that buffer is physically contiguous. Normal user-space | ||
303 | allocations will not meet that criterion, but buffers obtained from other | ||
304 | kernel drivers, or those contained within huge pages, will work with these | ||
305 | drivers. | ||
306 | |||
307 | Filling the buffers | ||
308 | |||
309 | The final part of a videobuf implementation has no direct callback - it's | ||
310 | the portion of the code which actually puts frame data into the buffers, | ||
311 | usually in response to interrupts from the device. For all types of | ||
312 | drivers, this process works approximately as follows: | ||
313 | |||
314 | - Obtain the next available buffer and make sure that somebody is actually | ||
315 | waiting for it. | ||
316 | |||
317 | - Get a pointer to the memory and put video data there. | ||
318 | |||
319 | - Mark the buffer as done and wake up the process waiting for it. | ||
320 | |||
321 | Step (1) above is done by looking at the driver-managed list_head structure | ||
322 | - the one which is filled in the buf_queue() callback. Because starting | ||
323 | the engine and enqueueing buffers are done in separate steps, it's possible | ||
324 | for the engine to be running without any buffers available - in the | ||
325 | vmalloc() case especially. So the driver should be prepared for the list | ||
326 | to be empty. It is equally possible that nobody is yet interested in the | ||
327 | buffer; the driver should not remove it from the list or fill it until a | ||
328 | process is waiting on it. That test can be done by examining the buffer's | ||
329 | done field (a wait_queue_head_t structure) with waitqueue_active(). | ||
330 | |||
331 | A buffer's state should be set to VIDEOBUF_ACTIVE before being mapped for | ||
332 | DMA; that ensures that the videobuf layer will not try to do anything with | ||
333 | it while the device is transferring data. | ||
334 | |||
335 | For scatter/gather drivers, the needed memory pointers will be found in the | ||
336 | scatterlist structure described above. Drivers using the vmalloc() method | ||
337 | can get a memory pointer with: | ||
338 | |||
339 | void *videobuf_to_vmalloc(struct videobuf_buffer *buf); | ||
340 | |||
341 | For contiguous DMA drivers, the function to use is: | ||
342 | |||
343 | dma_addr_t videobuf_to_dma_contig(struct videobuf_buffer *buf); | ||
344 | |||
345 | The contiguous DMA API goes out of its way to hide the kernel-space address | ||
346 | of the DMA buffer from drivers. | ||
347 | |||
348 | The final step is to set the size field of the relevant videobuf_buffer | ||
349 | structure to the actual size of the captured image, set state to | ||
350 | VIDEOBUF_DONE, then call wake_up() on the done queue. At this point, the | ||
351 | buffer is owned by the videobuf layer and the driver should not touch it | ||
352 | again. | ||
353 | |||
354 | Developers who are interested in more information can go into the relevant | ||
355 | header files; there are a few low-level functions declared there which have | ||
356 | not been talked about here. Also worthwhile is the vivi driver | ||
357 | (drivers/media/video/vivi.c), which is maintained as an example of how V4L2 | ||
358 | drivers should be written. Vivi only uses the vmalloc() API, but it's good | ||
359 | enough to get started with. Note also that all of these calls are exported | ||
360 | GPL-only, so they will not be available to non-GPL kernel modules. | ||
