48 Writing a device ID to this file will remove an ID
49 that was dynamically added via the new_id sysfs entry.
50 The format for the device ID is:

52 ID, Subsystem Vendor ID, Subsystem Device ID, Class,
53 and Class Mask. The Vendor ID and Device ID fields are
54 required, the rest are optional. After successfully
55 removing an ID, the driver will no longer support the

613Part III - Debug drivers use of the DMA-API
614-------------------------------------------
615
616The DMA-API as described above as some constraints. DMA addresses must be
617released with the corresponding function with the same size for example. With
618the advent of hardware IOMMUs it becomes more and more important that drivers
619do not violate those constraints. In the worst case such a violation can
620result in data corruption up to destroyed filesystems.
621
622To debug drivers and find bugs in the usage of the DMA-API checking code can
623be compiled into the kernel which will tell the developer about those
624violations. If your architecture supports it you can select the "Enable
625debugging of DMA-API usage" option in your kernel configuration. Enabling this
626option has a performance impact. Do not enable it in production kernels.
627
628If you boot the resulting kernel will contain code which does some bookkeeping
629about what DMA memory was allocated for which device. If this code detects an
630error it prints a warning message with some details into your kernel log. An
631example warning message may look like this:
632

663
664The driver developer can find the driver and the device including a stacktrace
665of the DMA-API call which caused this warning.
666
667Per default only the first error will result in a warning message. All other
668errors will only silently counted. This limitation exist to prevent the code
669from flooding your kernel log. To support debugging a device driver this can
670be disabled via debugfs. See the debugfs interface documentation below for
671details.
672
673The debugfs directory for the DMA-API debugging code is called dma-api/. In
674this directory the following files can currently be found:
675
676 dma-api/all_errors This file contains a numeric value. If this
677 value is not equal to zero the debugging code
678 will print a warning for every error it finds
679 into the kernel log. Be carefull with this
680 option. It can easily flood your logs.
681
682 dma-api/disabled This read-only file contains the character 'Y'
683 if the debugging code is disabled. This can
684 happen when it runs out of memory or if it was
685 disabled at boot time
686
687 dma-api/error_count This file is read-only and shows the total
688 numbers of errors found.
689
690 dma-api/num_errors The number in this file shows how many
691 warnings will be printed to the kernel log
692 before it stops. This number is initialized to
693 one at system boot and be set by writing into
694 this file
695
696 dma-api/min_free_entries
697 This read-only file can be read to get the
698 minimum number of free dma_debug_entries the
699 allocator has ever seen. If this value goes
700 down to zero the code will disable itself
701 because it is not longer reliable.
702
703 dma-api/num_free_entries
704 The current number of free dma_debug_entries
705 in the allocator.
706
707If you have this code compiled into your kernel it will be enabled by default.
708If you want to boot without the bookkeeping anyway you can provide
709'dma_debug=off' as a boot parameter. This will disable DMA-API debugging.
710Notice that you can not enable it again at runtime. You have to reboot to do
711so.
712
713When the code disables itself at runtime this is most likely because it ran
714out of dma_debug_entries. These entries are preallocated at boot. The number
715of preallocated entries is defined per architecture. If it is too low for you
716boot with 'dma_debug_entries=<your_desired_number>' to overwrite the
717architectural default.

151.1 Terminology
16
17PCI devices can be single-function or multi-function. In either case,
18when this text talks about enabling or disabling MSI on a "device
19function," it is referring to one specific PCI device and function and
20not to all functions on a PCI device (unless the PCI device has only
21one function).

253. What is MSI/MSI-X?
26
27Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI), as described in the PCI Local Bus
28Specification Revision 2.3 or later, is an optional feature, and a
29required feature for PCI Express devices. MSI enables a device function
30to request service by sending an Inbound Memory Write on its PCI bus to
31the FSB as a Message Signal Interrupt transaction. Because MSI is
32generated in the form of a Memory Write, all transaction conditions,
33such as a Retry, Master-Abort, Target-Abort or normal completion, are
34supported.
35
36A PCI device that supports MSI must also support pin IRQ assertion
37interrupt mechanism to provide backward compatibility for systems that
38do not support MSI. In systems which support MSI, the bus driver is
39responsible for initializing the message address and message data of
40the device function's MSI/MSI-X capability structure during device
41initial configuration.
42
43An MSI capable device function indicates MSI support by implementing
44the MSI/MSI-X capability structure in its PCI capability list. The
45device function may implement both the MSI capability structure and
46the MSI-X capability structure; however, the bus driver should not
47enable both.
48
49The MSI capability structure contains Message Control register,
50Message Address register and Message Data register. These registers
51provide the bus driver control over MSI. The Message Control register
52indicates the MSI capability supported by the device. The Message
53Address register specifies the target address and the Message Data
54register specifies the characteristics of the message. To request
55service, the device function writes the content of the Message Data
56register to the target address. The device and its software driver
57are prohibited from writing to these registers.
58
59The MSI-X capability structure is an optional extension to MSI. It
60uses an independent and separate capability structure. There are
61some key advantages to implementing the MSI-X capability structure
62over the MSI capability structure as described below.
63
64 - Support a larger maximum number of vectors per function.
65
66 - Provide the ability for system software to configure
67 each vector with an independent message address and message
68 data, specified by a table that resides in Memory Space.
69
70 - MSI and MSI-X both support per-vector masking. Per-vector
71 masking is an optional extension of MSI but a required
72 feature for MSI-X. Per-vector masking provides the kernel the
73 ability to mask/unmask a single MSI while running its
74 interrupt service routine. If per-vector masking is
75 not supported, then the device driver should provide the
76 hardware/software synchronization to ensure that the device
77 generates MSI when the driver wants it to do so.
78
794. Why use MSI?
80
81As a benefit to the simplification of board design, MSI allows board
82designers to remove out-of-band interrupt routing. MSI is another
83step towards a legacy-free environment.
84
85Due to increasing pressure on chipset and processor packages to
86reduce pin count, the need for interrupt pins is expected to
87diminish over time. Devices, due to pin constraints, may implement
88messages to increase performance.
89
90PCI Express endpoints uses INTx emulation (in-band messages) instead
91of IRQ pin assertion. Using INTx emulation requires interrupt
92sharing among devices connected to the same node (PCI bridge) while
93MSI is unique (non-shared) and does not require BIOS configuration
94support. As a result, the PCI Express technology requires MSI
95support for better interrupt performance.
96
97Using MSI enables the device functions to support two or more
98vectors, which can be configured to target different CPUs to
99increase scalability.
100
1015. Configuring a driver to use MSI/MSI-X
102
103By default, the kernel will not enable MSI/MSI-X on all devices that
104support this capability. The CONFIG_PCI_MSI kernel option
105must be selected to enable MSI/MSI-X support.
106
1075.1 Including MSI/MSI-X support into the kernel
108
109To allow MSI/MSI-X capable device drivers to selectively enable
110MSI/MSI-X (using pci_enable_msi()/pci_enable_msix() as described
111below), the VECTOR based scheme needs to be enabled by setting
112CONFIG_PCI_MSI during kernel config.
113
114Since the target of the inbound message is the local APIC, providing
115CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC must be enabled as well as CONFIG_PCI_MSI.
116
1175.2 Configuring for MSI support
118
119Due to the non-contiguous fashion in vector assignment of the
120existing Linux kernel, this version does not support multiple
121messages regardless of a device function is capable of supporting
122more than one vector. To enable MSI on a device function's MSI
123capability structure requires a device driver to call the function
124pci_enable_msi() explicitly.
125
1265.2.1 API pci_enable_msi
127 16
128int pci_enable_msi(struct pci_dev *dev)
129 17
130With this new API, a device driver that wants to have MSI 182. What are MSIs?
131enabled on its device function must call this API to enable MSI.
132A successful call will initialize the MSI capability structure
133with ONE vector, regardless of whether a device function is
134capable of supporting multiple messages. This vector replaces the
135pre-assigned dev->irq with a new MSI vector. To avoid a conflict
136of the new assigned vector with existing pre-assigned vector requires
137a device driver to call this API before calling request_irq().
138 19
1395.2.2 API pci_disable_msi 20A Message Signaled Interrupt is a write from the device to a special
21address which causes an interrupt to be received by the CPU.
140 22
141void pci_disable_msi(struct pci_dev *dev) 23The MSI capability was first specified in PCI 2.2 and was later enhanced
24in PCI 3.0 to allow each interrupt to be masked individually. The MSI-X
25capability was also introduced with PCI 3.0. It supports more interrupts
26per device than MSI and allows interrupts to be independently configured.
142 27
143This API should always be used to undo the effect of pci_enable_msi() 28Devices may support both MSI and MSI-X, but only one can be enabled at
144when a device driver is unloading. This API restores dev->irq with 29a time.
145the pre-assigned IOAPIC vector and switches a device's interrupt
146mode to PCI pin-irq assertion/INTx emulation mode.
147
148Note that a device driver should always call free_irq() on the MSI vector
149that it has done request_irq() on before calling this API. Failure to do
150so results in a BUG_ON() and a device will be left with MSI enabled and
151leaks its vector.
152
1535.2.3 MSI mode vs. legacy mode diagram
154
155The below diagram shows the events which switch the interrupt
156mode on the MSI-capable device function between MSI mode and
157PIN-IRQ assertion mode.
158
159 ------------ pci_enable_msi ------------------------
160 | | <=============== | |
161 | MSI MODE | | PIN-IRQ ASSERTION MODE |
162 | | ===============> | |
163 ------------ pci_disable_msi ------------------------
164
165
166Figure 1. MSI Mode vs. Legacy Mode
167
168In Figure 1, a device operates by default in legacy mode. Legacy
169in this context means PCI pin-irq assertion or PCI-Express INTx
170emulation. A successful MSI request (using pci_enable_msi()) switches
171a device's interrupt mode to MSI mode. A pre-assigned IOAPIC vector
172stored in dev->irq will be saved by the PCI subsystem and a new
173assigned MSI vector will replace dev->irq.
174
175To return back to its default mode, a device driver should always call
176pci_disable_msi() to undo the effect of pci_enable_msi(). Note that a
177device driver should always call free_irq() on the MSI vector it has
178done request_irq() on before calling pci_disable_msi(). Failure to do
179so results in a BUG_ON() and a device will be left with MSI enabled and
180leaks its vector. Otherwise, the PCI subsystem restores a device's
181dev->irq with a pre-assigned IOAPIC vector and marks the released
182MSI vector as unused.
183
184Once being marked as unused, there is no guarantee that the PCI
185subsystem will reserve this MSI vector for a device. Depending on
186the availability of current PCI vector resources and the number of
187MSI/MSI-X requests from other drivers, this MSI may be re-assigned.
188
189For the case where the PCI subsystem re-assigns this MSI vector to
190another driver, a request to switch back to MSI mode may result
191in being assigned a different MSI vector or a failure if no more
192vectors are available.
193
1945.3 Configuring for MSI-X support
195
196Due to the ability of the system software to configure each vector of
197the MSI-X capability structure with an independent message address
198and message data, the non-contiguous fashion in vector assignment of
199the existing Linux kernel has no impact on supporting multiple
200messages on an MSI-X capable device functions. To enable MSI-X on
201a device function's MSI-X capability structure requires its device
202driver to call the function pci_enable_msix() explicitly.
203
204The function pci_enable_msix(), once invoked, enables either
205all or nothing, depending on the current availability of PCI vector
206resources. If the PCI vector resources are available for the number
207of vectors requested by a device driver, this function will configure
208the MSI-X table of the MSI-X capability structure of a device with
209requested messages. To emphasize this reason, for example, a device
210may be capable for supporting the maximum of 32 vectors while its
211software driver usually may request 4 vectors. It is recommended
212that the device driver should call this function once during the
213initialization phase of the device driver.
214
215Unlike the function pci_enable_msi(), the function pci_enable_msix()
216does not replace the pre-assigned IOAPIC dev->irq with a new MSI
217vector because the PCI subsystem writes the 1:1 vector-to-entry mapping
218into the field vector of each element contained in a second argument.
219Note that the pre-assigned IOAPIC dev->irq is valid only if the device
220operates in PIN-IRQ assertion mode. In MSI-X mode, any attempt at
221using dev->irq by the device driver to request for interrupt service
222may result in unpredictable behavior.
223
224For each MSI-X vector granted, a device driver is responsible for calling
225other functions like request_irq(), enable_irq(), etc. to enable
226this vector with its corresponding interrupt service handler. It is
227a device driver's choice to assign all vectors with the same
228interrupt service handler or each vector with a unique interrupt
229service handler.
230
2315.3.1 Handling MMIO address space of MSI-X Table
232
233The PCI 3.0 specification has implementation notes that MMIO address
234space for a device's MSI-X structure should be isolated so that the
235software system can set different pages for controlling accesses to the
236MSI-X structure. The implementation of MSI support requires the PCI
237subsystem, not a device driver, to maintain full control of the MSI-X
238table/MSI-X PBA (Pending Bit Array) and MMIO address space of the MSI-X
239table/MSI-X PBA. A device driver should not access the MMIO address
240space of the MSI-X table/MSI-X PBA.
241
2425.3.2 API pci_enable_msix
243 30
244int pci_enable_msix(struct pci_dev *dev, struct msix_entry *entries, int nvec)
245 31
246This API enables a device driver to request the PCI subsystem 323. Why use MSIs?
247to enable MSI-X messages on its hardware device. Depending on 33
248the availability of PCI vectors resources, the PCI subsystem enables 34There are three reasons why using MSIs can give an advantage over
249either all or none of the requested vectors. 35traditional pin-based interrupts.
36
37Pin-based PCI interrupts are often shared amongst several devices.
38To support this, the kernel must call each interrupt handler associated
39with an interrupt, which leads to reduced performance for the system as
40a whole. MSIs are never shared, so this problem cannot arise.
41
42When a device writes data to memory, then raises a pin-based interrupt,
43it is possible that the interrupt may arrive before all the data has
44arrived in memory (this becomes more likely with devices behind PCI-PCI
45bridges). In order to ensure that all the data has arrived in memory,
46the interrupt handler must read a register on the device which raised
47the interrupt. PCI transaction ordering rules require that all the data
48arrives in memory before the value can be returned from the register.
49Using MSIs avoids this problem as the interrupt-generating write cannot
50pass the data writes, so by the time the interrupt is raised, the driver
51knows that all the data has arrived in memory.
52
53PCI devices can only support a single pin-based interrupt per function.
54Often drivers have to query the device to find out what event has
55occurred, slowing down interrupt handling for the common case. With
56MSIs, a device can support more interrupts, allowing each interrupt
57to be specialised to a different purpose. One possible design gives
58infrequent conditions (such as errors) their own interrupt which allows
59the driver to handle the normal interrupt handling path more efficiently.
60Other possible designs include giving one interrupt to each packet queue
61in a network card or each port in a storage controller.
62
63
644. How to use MSIs
65
66PCI devices are initialised to use pin-based interrupts. The device
67driver has to set up the device to use MSI or MSI-X. Not all machines
68support MSIs correctly, and for those machines, the APIs described below
69will simply fail and the device will continue to use pin-based interrupts.
70
714.1 Include kernel support for MSIs
72
73To support MSI or MSI-X, the kernel must be built with the CONFIG_PCI_MSI
74option enabled. This option is only available on some architectures,
75and it may depend on some other options also being set. For example,
76on x86, you must also enable X86_UP_APIC or SMP in order to see the
77CONFIG_PCI_MSI option.
78
794.2 Using MSI
80
81Most of the hard work is done for the driver in the PCI layer. It simply
82has to request that the PCI layer set up the MSI capability for this
83device.
84
854.2.1 pci_enable_msi
86
87int pci_enable_msi(struct pci_dev *dev)
88
89A successful call will allocate ONE interrupt to the device, regardless
90of how many MSIs the device supports. The device will be switched from
91pin-based interrupt mode to MSI mode. The dev->irq number is changed
92to a new number which represents the message signaled interrupt.
93This function should be called before the driver calls request_irq()
94since enabling MSIs disables the pin-based IRQ and the driver will not
95receive interrupts on the old interrupt.
96
974.2.2 pci_enable_msi_block
98
99int pci_enable_msi_block(struct pci_dev *dev, int count)
100
101This variation on the above call allows a device driver to request multiple
102MSIs. The MSI specification only allows interrupts to be allocated in
103powers of two, up to a maximum of 2^5 (32).
104
105If this function returns 0, it has succeeded in allocating at least as many
106interrupts as the driver requested (it may have allocated more in order
107to satisfy the power-of-two requirement). In this case, the function
108enables MSI on this device and updates dev->irq to be the lowest of
109the new interrupts assigned to it. The other interrupts assigned to
110the device are in the range dev->irq to dev->irq + count - 1.
111
112If this function returns a negative number, it indicates an error and
113the driver should not attempt to request any more MSI interrupts for
114this device. If this function returns a positive number, it will be
115less than 'count' and indicate the number of interrupts that could have
116been allocated. In neither case will the irq value have been
117updated, nor will the device have been switched into MSI mode.
118
119The device driver must decide what action to take if
120pci_enable_msi_block() returns a value less than the number asked for.
121Some devices can make use of fewer interrupts than the maximum they
122request; in this case the driver should call pci_enable_msi_block()
123again. Note that it is not guaranteed to succeed, even when the
124'count' has been reduced to the value returned from a previous call to
125pci_enable_msi_block(). This is because there are multiple constraints
126on the number of vectors that can be allocated; pci_enable_msi_block()
127will return as soon as it finds any constraint that doesn't allow the
128call to succeed.
129
1304.2.3 pci_disable_msi
131
132void pci_disable_msi(struct pci_dev *dev)
250 133
251Argument 'dev' points to the device (pci_dev) structure. 134This function should be used to undo the effect of pci_enable_msi() or
135pci_enable_msi_block(). Calling it restores dev->irq to the pin-based
136interrupt number and frees the previously allocated message signaled
137interrupt(s). The interrupt may subsequently be assigned to another
138device, so drivers should not cache the value of dev->irq.
252 139
253Argument 'entries' is a pointer to an array of msix_entry structs. 140A device driver must always call free_irq() on the interrupt(s)
254The number of entries is indicated in argument 'nvec'. 141for which it has called request_irq() before calling this function.
255struct msix_entry is defined in /driver/pci/msi.h: 142Failure to do so will result in a BUG_ON(), the device will be left with
143MSI enabled and will leak its vector.
144
1454.3 Using MSI-X
146
147The MSI-X capability is much more flexible than the MSI capability.
148It supports up to 2048 interrupts, each of which can be controlled
149independently. To support this flexibility, drivers must use an array of
150`struct msix_entry':
256 151
257struct msix_entry { 152struct msix_entry {
258 u16 vector; /* kernel uses to write alloc vector */ 153 u16 vector; /* kernel uses to write alloc vector */
259 u16 entry; /* driver uses to specify entry */ 154 u16 entry; /* driver uses to specify entry */
260}; 155};
261 156
262A device driver is responsible for initializing the field 'entry' of 157This allows for the device to use these interrupts in a sparse fashion;
263each element with a unique entry supported by MSI-X table. Otherwise, 158for example it could use interrupts 3 and 1027 and allocate only a
264-EINVAL will be returned as a result. A successful return of zero 159two-element array. The driver is expected to fill in the 'entry' value
265indicates the PCI subsystem completed initializing each of the requested 160in each element of the array to indicate which entries it wants the kernel

267Last but not least, the PCI subsystem will write the 1:1 162same number.
268vector-to-entry mapping into the field 'vector' of each element. A 163
269device driver is responsible for keeping track of allocated MSI-X 1644.3.1 pci_enable_msix
270vectors in its internal data structure. 165
271 166int pci_enable_msix(struct pci_dev *dev, struct msix_entry *entries, int nvec)
272A return of zero indicates that the number of MSI-X vectors was 167
273successfully allocated. A return of greater than zero indicates 168Calling this function asks the PCI subsystem to allocate 'nvec' MSIs.
274MSI-X vector shortage. Or a return of less than zero indicates 169The 'entries' argument is a pointer to an array of msix_entry structs
275a failure. This failure may be a result of duplicate entries 170which should be at least 'nvec' entries in size. On success, the
276specified in second argument, or a result of no available vector, 171function will return 0 and the device will have been switched into
277or a result of failing to initialize MSI-X table entries. 172MSI-X interrupt mode. The 'vector' elements in each entry will have
278 173been filled in with the interrupt number. The driver should then call
2795.3.3 API pci_disable_msix 174request_irq() for each 'vector' that it decides to use.
175
176If this function returns a negative number, it indicates an error and
177the driver should not attempt to allocate any more MSI-X interrupts for
178this device. If it returns a positive number, it indicates the maximum
179number of interrupt vectors that could have been allocated. See example
180below.
181
182This function, in contrast with pci_enable_msi(), does not adjust
183dev->irq. The device will not generate interrupts for this interrupt
184number once MSI-X is enabled. The device driver is responsible for
185keeping track of the interrupts assigned to the MSI-X vectors so it can
186free them again later.
187
188Device drivers should normally call this function once per device
189during the initialization phase.
190
191It is ideal if drivers can cope with a variable number of MSI-X interrupts,
192there are many reasons why the platform may not be able to provide the
193exact number a driver asks for.
194
195A request loop to achieve that might look like:
196
197static int foo_driver_enable_msix(struct foo_adapter *adapter, int nvec)
198{
199 while (nvec >= FOO_DRIVER_MINIMUM_NVEC) {
200 rc = pci_enable_msix(adapter->pdev,
201 adapter->msix_entries, nvec);
202 if (rc > 0)
203 nvec = rc;
204 else
205 return rc;
206 }
207
208 return -ENOSPC;
209}
210
2114.3.2 pci_disable_msix

281void pci_disable_msix(struct pci_dev *dev) 213void pci_disable_msix(struct pci_dev *dev)

283This API should always be used to undo the effect of pci_enable_msix() 215This API should be used to undo the effect of pci_enable_msix(). It frees
284when a device driver is unloading. Note that a device driver should 216the previously allocated message signaled interrupts. The interrupts may

300 2324.4 Handling devices implementing both MSI and MSI-X capabilities

413The PCI stack provides 3 possible levels of MSI disabling: 345
414* on a single device 346From the above three sections, you can see that there are many reasons
415* on all devices behind a specific bridge 347why MSIs may not be enabled for a given device. Your first step should

419 351
420Under some circumstances it might be required to disable MSI on a 352Then, 'lspci -t' gives the list of bridges above a device. Reading
421single device. This may be achieved by either not calling pci_enable_msi() 353/sys/bus/pci/devices/*/msi_bus will tell you whether MSI are enabled (1)
422or all, or setting the pci_dev->no_msi flag before (most of the time 354or disabled (0). If 0 is found in any of the msi_bus files belonging
423in a quirk). 355to bridges between the PCI root and the device, MSIs are disabled.
424 356
4256.2. Disabling MSI below a bridge 357It is also worth checking the device driver to see whether it supports MSIs.
426 358For example, it may contain calls to pci_enable_msi(), pci_enable_msix() or
427The vast majority of MSI quirks are required by PCI bridges not 359pci_enable_msi_block().
428being able to route MSI between busses. In this case, MSI have to be
429disabled on all devices behind this bridge. It is achieves by setting
430the PCI_BUS_FLAGS_NO_MSI flag in the pci_bus->bus_flags of the bridge
431subordinate bus. There is no need to set the same flag on bridges that
432are below the broken bridge. When pci_enable_msi() is called to enable
433MSI on a device, pci_msi_supported() takes care of checking the NO_MSI
434flag in all parent busses of the device.
435
436Some bridges actually support dynamic MSI support enabling/disabling
437by changing some bits in their PCI configuration space (especially
438the Hypertransport chipsets such as the nVidia nForce and Serverworks
439HT2000). It may then be required to update the NO_MSI flag on the
440corresponding devices in the sysfs hierarchy. To enable MSI support
441on device "0000:00:0e", do:
442
443 echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:0e/msi_bus
444
445To disable MSI support, echo 0 instead of 1. Note that it should be
446used with caution since changing this value might break interrupts.
447
4486.3. Disabling MSI globally
449
450Some extreme cases may require to disable MSI globally on the system.
451For now, the only known case is a Serverworks PCI-X chipsets (MSI are
452not supported on several busses that are not all connected to the
453chipset in the Linux PCI hierarchy). In the vast majority of other
454cases, disabling only behind a specific bridge is enough.
455
456For debugging purpose, the user may also pass pci=nomsi on the kernel
457command-line to explicitly disable MSI globally. But, once the appro-
458priate quirks are added to the kernel, this option should not be
459required anymore.
460
4616.4. Finding why MSI cannot be enabled on a device
462
463Assuming that MSI are not enabled on a device, you should look at
464dmesg to find messages that quirks may output when disabling MSI
465on some devices, some bridges or even globally.
466Then, lspci -t gives the list of bridges above a device. Reading
467/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:0e/msi_bus will tell you whether MSI
468are enabled (1) or disabled (0). In 0 is found in a single bridge
469msi_bus file above the device, MSI cannot be enabled.
470
4717. FAQ
472
473Q1. Are there any limitations on using the MSI?
474
475A1. If the PCI device supports MSI and conforms to the
476specification and the platform supports the APIC local bus,
477then using MSI should work.
478
479Q2. Will it work on all the Pentium processors (P3, P4, Xeon,
480AMD processors)? In P3 IPI's are transmitted on the APIC local
481bus and in P4 and Xeon they are transmitted on the system
482bus. Are there any implications with this?
483
484A2. MSI support enables a PCI device sending an inbound
485memory write (0xfeexxxxx as target address) on its PCI bus
486directly to the FSB. Since the message address has a
487redirection hint bit cleared, it should work.
488
489Q3. The target address 0xfeexxxxx will be translated by the
490Host Bridge into an interrupt message. Are there any
491limitations on the chipsets such as Intel 8xx, Intel e7xxx,
492or VIA?
493
494A3. If these chipsets support an inbound memory write with
495target address set as 0xfeexxxxx, as conformed to PCI
496specification 2.3 or latest, then it should work.
497
498Q4. From the driver point of view, if the MSI is lost because
499of errors occurring during inbound memory write, then it may
500wait forever. Is there a mechanism for it to recover?
501
502A4. Since the target of the transaction is an inbound memory
503write, all transaction termination conditions (Retry,
504Master-Abort, Target-Abort, or normal completion) are
505supported. A device sending an MSI must abide by all the PCI
506rules and conditions regarding that inbound memory write. So,
507if a retry is signaled it must retry, etc... We believe that
508the recommendation for Abort is also a retry (refer to PCI
509specification 2.3 or latest).

61. Overview
7
81.1 What is SR-IOV
9
10Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) is a PCI Express Extended
11capability which makes one physical device appear as multiple virtual
12devices. The physical device is referred to as Physical Function (PF)
13while the virtual devices are referred to as Virtual Functions (VF).
14Allocation of the VF can be dynamically controlled by the PF via
15registers encapsulated in the capability. By default, this feature is
16not enabled and the PF behaves as traditional PCIe device. Once it's
17turned on, each VF's PCI configuration space can be accessed by its own
18Bus, Device and Function Number (Routing ID). And each VF also has PCI
19Memory Space, which is used to map its register set. VF device driver
20operates on the register set so it can be functional and appear as a
21real existing PCI device.
22
232. User Guide
24
252.1 How can I enable SR-IOV capability
26
27The device driver (PF driver) will control the enabling and disabling
28of the capability via API provided by SR-IOV core. If the hardware
29has SR-IOV capability, loading its PF driver would enable it and all
30VFs associated with the PF.
31
322.2 How can I use the Virtual Functions
33
34The VF is treated as hot-plugged PCI devices in the kernel, so they
35should be able to work in the same way as real PCI devices. The VF
36requires device driver that is same as a normal PCI device's.
37
383. Developer Guide
39
403.1 SR-IOV API
41
42To enable SR-IOV capability:
43 int pci_enable_sriov(struct pci_dev *dev, int nr_virtfn);
44 'nr_virtfn' is number of VFs to be enabled.
45
46To disable SR-IOV capability:
47 void pci_disable_sriov(struct pci_dev *dev);
48
49To notify SR-IOV core of Virtual Function Migration:
50 irqreturn_t pci_sriov_migration(struct pci_dev *dev);

9The datasheet is incomplete, some registers that need to be programmed are not
10explained at all and important bits are listed as "reserved". But you really
11need the datasheet to understand the code. "p. xxx" comments refer to page
12numbers of this document.
13
14XFree/XOrg drivers are available and of good quality, looking at the code
15there is a good idea if the datasheet does not provide enough information
16or if the datasheet seems to be wrong.

1TODO / Missing features
2=======================
3
4Verify LCD stuff "stretch" and "center" options are
5 completely untested ... this code needs to be
6 verified. As I don't have access to such
7 hardware, please contact me if you are
8 willing run some tests.
9
10Interlaced video modes The reason that interleaved
11 modes are disabled is that I do not know
12 the meaning of the vertical interlace
13 parameter. Also the datasheet mentions a
14 bit d8 of a horizontal interlace parameter,
15 but nowhere the lower 8 bits. Please help
16 if you can.
17
18low-res double scan modes Who needs it?
19
20accelerated color blitting Who needs it? The console driver does use color
21 blitting for nothing but drawing the penguine,
22 everything else is done using color expanding
23 blitting of 1bpp character bitmaps.
24
25ioctls Who needs it?
26
27TV-out Will be done later. Use "vga= " at boot time
28 to set a suitable video mode.
29
30??? Feel free to contact me if you have any

1CyBlaFB is a framebuffer driver for the Cyberblade/i1 graphics core integrated
2into the VIA Apollo PLE133 (aka vt8601) south bridge. It is developed and
3tested using a VIA EPIA 5000 board.
4
5Cyblafb - compiled into the kernel or as a module?
6==================================================
7
8You might compile cyblafb either as a module or compile it permanently into the
9kernel.
10
11Unless you have a real reason to do so you should not compile both vesafb and
12cyblafb permanently into the kernel. It's possible and it helps during the
13developement cycle, but it's useless and will at least block some otherwise
14usefull memory for ordinary users.
15
16Selecting Modes
17===============
18
19 Startup Mode
20 ============
21
22 First of all, you might use the "vga=???" boot parameter as it is
23 documented in vesafb.txt and svga.txt. Cyblafb will detect the video
24 mode selected and will use the geometry and timings found by
25 inspecting the hardware registers.
26
27 video=cyblafb vga=0x317
28
29 Alternatively you might use a combination of the mode, ref and bpp
30 parameters. If you compiled the driver into the kernel, add something
31 like this to the kernel command line:
32
33 video=cyblafb:1280x1024,bpp=16,ref=50 ...
34
35 If you compiled the driver as a module, the same mode would be
36 selected by the following command:
37
38 modprobe cyblafb mode=1280x1024 bpp=16 ref=50 ...
39
40 None of the modes possible to select as startup modes are affected by
41 the problems described at the end of the next subsection.
42
43 For all startup modes cyblafb chooses a virtual x resolution of 2048,
44 the only exception is mode 1280x1024 in combination with 32 bpp. This
45 allows ywrap scrolling for all those modes if rotation is 0 or 2, and
46 also fast scrolling if rotation is 1 or 3. The default virtual y reso-
47 lution is 4096 for bpp == 8, 2048 for bpp==16 and 1024 for bpp == 32,
48 again with the only exception of 1280x1024 at 32 bpp.
49
50 Please do set your video memory size to 8 Mb in the Bios setup. Other
51 values will work, but performace is decreased for a lot of modes.
52
53 Mode changes using fbset
54 ========================
55
56 You might use fbset to change the video mode, see "man fbset". Cyblafb
57 generally does assume that you know what you are doing. But it does
58 some checks, especially those that are needed to prevent you from
59 damaging your hardware.
60
61 - only 8, 16, 24 and 32 bpp video modes are accepted
62 - interlaced video modes are not accepted
63 - double scan video modes are not accepted
64 - if a flat panel is found, cyblafb does not allow you
65 to program a resolution higher than the physical
66 resolution of the flat panel monitor
67 - cyblafb does not allow vclk to exceed 230 MHz. As 32 bpp
68 and (currently) 24 bit modes use a doubled vclk internally,
69 the dotclock limit as seen by fbset is 115 MHz for those
70 modes and 230 MHz for 8 and 16 bpp modes.
71 - cyblafb will allow you to select very high resolutions as
72 long as the hardware can be programmed to these modes. The
73 documented limit 1600x1200 is not enforced, but don't expect
74 perfect signal quality.
75
76 Any request that violates the rules given above will be either changed
77 to something the hardware supports or an error value will be returned.
78
79 If you program a virtual y resolution higher than the hardware limit,
80 cyblafb will silently decrease that value to the highest possible
81 value. The same is true for a virtual x resolution that is not
82 supported by the hardware. Cyblafb tries to adapt vyres first because
83 vxres decides if ywrap scrolling is possible or not.
84
85 Attempts to disable acceleration are ignored, I believe that this is
86 safe.
87
88 Some video modes that should work do not work as expected. If you use
89 the standard fb.modes, fbset 640x480-60 will program that mode, but
90 you will see a vertical area, about two characters wide, with only
91 much darker characters than the other characters on the screen.
92 Cyblafb does allow that mode to be set, as it does not violate the
93 official specifications. It would need a lot of code to reliably sort
94 out all invalid modes, playing around with the margin values will
95 give a valid mode quickly. And if cyblafb would detect such an invalid
96 mode, should it silently alter the requested values or should it
97 report an error? Both options have some pros and cons. As stated
98 above, none of the startup modes are affected, and if you set
99 verbosity to 1 or higher, cyblafb will print the fbset command that
100 would be needed to program that mode using fbset.
101
102
103Other Parameters
104================
105
106
107crt don't autodetect, assume monitor connected to
108 standard VGA connector
109
110fp don't autodetect, assume flat panel display
111 connected to flat panel monitor interface
112

127
128nopcirr disable PCI read retry
129nopciwr disable PCI write retry
130nopcirb disable PCI read bursts
131nopciwb disable PCI write bursts
132
133bpp bpp for specified modes
134 valid values: 8 || 16 || 24 || 32
135
136ref refresh rate for specified mode
137 valid values: 50 <= ref <= 85
138
139mode 640x480 or 800x600 or 1024x768 or 1280x1024
140 if not specified, the startup mode will be detected
141 and used, so you might also use the vga=??? parameter
142 described in vesafb.txt. If you do not specify a mode,
143 bpp and ref parameters are ignored.
144
145verbosity 0 is the default, increase to at least 2 for every
146 bug report!
147
148Development hints
149=================
150
151It's much faster do compile a module and to load the new version after
152unloading the old module than to compile a new kernel and to reboot. So if you
153try to work on cyblafb, it might be a good idea to use cyblafb as a module.
154In real life, fast often means dangerous, and that's also the case here. If
155you introduce a serious bug when cyblafb is compiled into the kernel, the
156kernel will lock or oops with a high probability before the file system is
157mounted, and the danger for your data is low. If you load a broken own version
158of cyblafb on a running system, the danger for the integrity of the file
159system is much higher as you might need a hard reset afterwards. Decide
160yourself.
161
162Module unloading, the vfb method
163================================
164
165If you want to unload/reload cyblafb using the virtual framebuffer, you need
166to enable vfb support in the kernel first. After that, load the modules as
167shown below:
168
169 modprobe vfb vfb_enable=1
170 modprobe fbcon
171 modprobe cyblafb
172 fbset -fb /dev/fb1 1280x1024-60 -vyres 2662
173 con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty1
174 ...
175
176If you now made some changes to cyblafb and want to reload it, you might do it
177as show below:
178
179 con2fb /dev/fb0 /dev/tty1
180 ...
181 rmmod cyblafb
182 modprobe cyblafb
183 con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty1
184 ...
185
186Of course, you might choose another mode, and most certainly you also want to
187map some other /dev/tty* to the real framebuffer device. You might also choose
188to compile fbcon as a kernel module or place it permanently in the kernel.
189
190I do not know of any way to unload fbcon, and fbcon will prevent the
191framebuffer device loaded first from unloading. [If there is a way, then
192please add a description here!]
193
194Module unloading, the vesafb method
195===================================
196
197Configure the kernel:
198
199 <*> Support for frame buffer devices
200 [*] VESA VGA graphics support
201 <M> Cyberblade/i1 support
202
203Add e.g. "video=vesafb:ypan vga=0x307" to the kernel parameters. The ypan
204parameter is important, choose any vga parameter you like as long as it is
205a graphics mode.
206
207After booting, load cyblafb without any mode and bpp parameter and assign
208cyblafb to individual ttys using con2fb, e.g.:
209
210 modprobe cyblafb
211 con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty1
212
213Unloading cyblafb works without problems after you assign vesafb to all
214ttys again, e.g.:
215
216 con2fb /dev/fb0 /dev/tty1
217 rmmod cyblafb

2====
3
4 - the vesafb parameter has been removed as I decided to allow the
5 feature without any special parameter.
6
7 - Cyblafb does not use the vga style of panning any longer, now the
8 "right view" register in the graphics engine IO space is used. Without
9 that change it was impossible to use all available memory, and without
10 access to all available memory it is impossible to ywrap.
11
12 - The imageblit function now uses hardware acceleration for all font
13 widths. Hardware blitting across pixel column 2048 is broken in the
14 cyberblade/i1 graphics core, but we work around that hardware bug.
15
16 - modes with vxres != xres are supported now.
17
18 - ywrap scrolling is supported now and the default. This is a big
19 performance gain.
20
21 - default video modes use vyres > yres and vxres > xres to allow
22 almost optimal scrolling speed for normal and rotated screens
23
24 - some features mainly usefull for debugging the upper layers of the
25 framebuffer system have been added, have a look at the code
26
27 - fixed: Oops after unloading cyblafb when reading /proc/io*
28
29 - we work around some bugs of the higher framebuffer layers.

1I tried the following framebuffer drivers:
2
3 - TRIDENTFB is full of bugs. Acceleration is broken for Blade3D
4 graphics cores like the cyberblade/i1. It claims to support a great
5 number of devices, but documentation for most of these devices is
6 unfortunately not available. There is _no_ reason to use tridentfb
7 for cyberblade/i1 + CRT users. VESAFB is faster, and the one
8 advantage, mode switching, is broken in tridentfb.
9
10 - VESAFB is used by many distributions as a standard. Vesafb does
11 not support mode switching. VESAFB is a bit faster than the working
12 configurations of TRIDENTFB, but it is still too slow, even if you
13 use ypan.
14
15 - EPIAFB (you'll find it on sourceforge) supports the Cyberblade/i1
16 graphics core, but it still has serious bugs and developement seems
17 to have stopped. This is the one driver with TV-out support. If you
18 do need this feature, try epiafb.
19
20None of these drivers was a real option for me.
21
22I believe that is unreasonable to change code that announces to support 20
23devices if I only have more or less sufficient documentation for exactly one
24of these. The risk of breaking device foo while fixing device bar is too high.
25
26So I decided to start CyBlaFB as a stripped down tridentfb.
27
28All code specific to other Trident chips has been removed. After that there
29were a lot of cosmetic changes to increase the readability of the code. All
30register names were changed to those mnemonics used in the datasheet. Function
31and macro names were changed if they hindered easy understanding of the code.
32
33After that I debugged the code and implemented some new features. I'll try to
34give a little summary of the main changes:
35
36 - calculation of vertical and horizontal timings was fixed
37
38 - video signal quality has been improved dramatically
39
40 - acceleration:
41
42 - fillrect and copyarea were fixed and reenabled
43
44 - color expanding imageblit was newly implemented, color
45 imageblit (only used to draw the penguine) still uses the
46 generic code.
47
48 - init of the acceleration engine was improved and moved to a
49 place where it really works ...
50
51 - sync function has a timeout now and tries to reset and
52 reinit the accel engine if necessary
53
54 - fewer slow copyarea calls when doing ypan scrolling by using
55 undocumented bit d21 of screen start address stored in
56 CR2B[5]. BIOS does use it also, so this should be safe.
57
58 - cyblafb rejects any attempt to set modes that would cause vclk
59 values above reasonable 230 MHz. 32bit modes use a clock
60 multiplicator of 2, so fbset does show the correct values for
61 pixclock but not for vclk in this case. The fbset limit is 115 MHz
62 for 32 bpp modes.
63
64 - cyblafb rejects modes known to be broken or unimplemented (all
65 interlaced modes, all doublescan modes for now)
66
67 - cyblafb now works independant of the video mode in effect at startup
68 time (tridentfb does not init all needed registers to reasonable
69 values)
70
71 - switching between video modes does work reliably now
72
73 - the first video mode now is the one selected on startup using the
74 vga=???? mechanism or any of
75 - 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024
76 - 8, 16, 24 or 32 bpp
77 - refresh between 50 Hz and 85 Hz, 1 Hz steps (1280x1024-32
78 is limited to 63Hz)
79
80 - pci retry and pci burst mode are settable (try to disable if you
81 experience latency problems)
82
83 - built as a module cyblafb might be unloaded and reloaded using
84 the vfb module and con2vt or might be used together with vesafb

408What: fakephp and associated sysfs files in /sys/bus/pci/slots/
409When: 2011
410Why: In 2.6.27, the semantics of /sys/bus/pci/slots was redefined to
411 represent a machine's physical PCI slots. The change in semantics
412 had userspace implications, as the hotplug core no longer allowed
413 drivers to create multiple sysfs files per physical slot (required
414 for multi-function devices, e.g.). fakephp was seen as a developer's
415 tool only, and its interface changed. Too late, we learned that
416 there were some users of the fakephp interface.
417
418 In 2.6.30, the original fakephp interface was restored. At the same
419 time, the PCI core gained the ability that fakephp provided, namely
420 function-level hot-remove and hot-add.
421
422 Since the PCI core now provides the same functionality, exposed in:
423
424 /sys/bus/pci/rescan
425 /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../remove
426 /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../rescan
427
428 there is no functional reason to maintain fakephp as well.
429
430 We will keep the existing module so that 'modprobe fakephp' will
431 present the old /sys/bus/pci/slots/... interface for compatibility,
432 but users are urged to migrate their applications to the API above.
433
434 After a reasonable transition period, we will remove the legacy
435 fakephp interface.

1015-----------------------------------
1016
1017This subdirectory contains specific file system, file handle, inode, dentry
1018and quota information.
1019
1020Currently, these files are in /proc/sys/fs:
1021
1022dentry-state
1023------------
1024
1025Status of the directory cache. Since directory entries are dynamically
1026allocated and deallocated, this file indicates the current status. It holds
1027six values, in which the last two are not used and are always zero. The others
1028are listed in table 2-1.
1029

1038 want_pages internally
1039..............................................................................
1040
1041dquot-nr and dquot-max
1042----------------------
1043
1044The file dquot-max shows the maximum number of cached disk quota entries.
1045
1046The file dquot-nr shows the number of allocated disk quota entries and the
1047number of free disk quota entries.
1048
1049If the number of available cached disk quotas is very low and you have a large
1050number of simultaneous system users, you might want to raise the limit.
1051
1052file-nr and file-max
1053--------------------
1054
1055The kernel allocates file handles dynamically, but doesn't free them again at
1056this time.
1057
1058The value in file-max denotes the maximum number of file handles that the
1059Linux kernel will allocate. When you get a lot of error messages about running
1060out of file handles, you might want to raise this limit. The default value is
106110% of RAM in kilobytes. To change it, just write the new number into the
1062file:
1063
1064 # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
1065 4096
1066 # echo 8192 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
1067 # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
1068 8192
1069
1070
1071This method of revision is useful for all customizable parameters of the
1072kernel - simply echo the new value to the corresponding file.
1073
1074Historically, the three values in file-nr denoted the number of allocated file
1075handles, the number of allocated but unused file handles, and the maximum
1076number of file handles. Linux 2.6 always reports 0 as the number of free file
1077handles -- this is not an error, it just means that the number of allocated
1078file handles exactly matches the number of used file handles.
1079
1080Attempts to allocate more file descriptors than file-max are reported with
1081printk, look for "VFS: file-max limit <number> reached".
1082
1083inode-state and inode-nr
1084------------------------
1085
1086The file inode-nr contains the first two items from inode-state, so we'll skip
1087to that file...
1088
1089inode-state contains two actual numbers and five dummy values. The numbers
1090are nr_inodes and nr_free_inodes (in order of appearance).
1091
1092nr_inodes
1093~~~~~~~~~
1094
1095Denotes the number of inodes the system has allocated. This number will
1096grow and shrink dynamically.
1097
1098nr_open
1099-------
1100
1101Denotes the maximum number of file-handles a process can
1102allocate. Default value is 1024*1024 (1048576) which should be
1103enough for most machines. Actual limit depends on RLIMIT_NOFILE
1104resource limit.
1105
1106nr_free_inodes
1107--------------
1108
1109Represents the number of free inodes. Ie. The number of inuse inodes is
1110(nr_inodes - nr_free_inodes).
1111
1112aio-nr and aio-max-nr
1113---------------------
1114
1115aio-nr is the running total of the number of events specified on the
1116io_setup system call for all currently active aio contexts. If aio-nr
1117reaches aio-max-nr then io_setup will fail with EAGAIN. Note that
1118raising aio-max-nr does not result in the pre-allocation or re-sizing
1119of any kernel data structures.
1120
11212.2 /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc - Miscellaneous binary formats
1122-----------------------------------------------------------
1123
1124Besides these files, there is the subdirectory /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc. This
1125handles the kernel support for miscellaneous binary formats.
1126
1127Binfmt_misc provides the ability to register additional binary formats to the
1128Kernel without compiling an additional module/kernel. Therefore, binfmt_misc
1129needs to know magic numbers at the beginning or the filename extension of the
1130binary.
1131
1132It works by maintaining a linked list of structs that contain a description of
1133a binary format, including a magic with size (or the filename extension),
1134offset and mask, and the interpreter name. On request it invokes the given
1135interpreter with the original program as argument, as binfmt_java and
1136binfmt_em86 and binfmt_mz do. Since binfmt_misc does not define any default
1137binary-formats, you have to register an additional binary-format.
1138
1139There are two general files in binfmt_misc and one file per registered format.
1140The two general files are register and status.
1141
1142Registering a new binary format
1143-------------------------------
1144
1145To register a new binary format you have to issue the command
1146
1147 echo :name:type:offset:magic:mask:interpreter: > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register
1148
1149
1150
1151with appropriate name (the name for the /proc-dir entry), offset (defaults to
11520, if omitted), magic, mask (which can be omitted, defaults to all 0xff) and
1153last but not least, the interpreter that is to be invoked (for example and
1154testing /bin/echo). Type can be M for usual magic matching or E for filename
1155extension matching (give extension in place of magic).
1156
1157Check or reset the status of the binary format handler
1158------------------------------------------------------
1159
1160If you do a cat on the file /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status, you will get the
1161current status (enabled/disabled) of binfmt_misc. Change the status by echoing
11620 (disables) or 1 (enables) or -1 (caution: this clears all previously
1163registered binary formats) to status. For example echo 0 > status to disable
1164binfmt_misc (temporarily).
1165
1166Status of a single handler
1167--------------------------
1168
1169Each registered handler has an entry in /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc. These files
1170perform the same function as status, but their scope is limited to the actual
1171binary format. By cating this file, you also receive all related information
1172about the interpreter/magic of the binfmt.
1173
1174Example usage of binfmt_misc (emulate binfmt_java)
1175--------------------------------------------------
1176
1177 cd /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
1178 echo ':Java:M::\xca\xfe\xba\xbe::/usr/local/java/bin/javawrapper:' > register
1179 echo ':HTML:E::html::/usr/local/java/bin/appletviewer:' > register
1180 echo ':Applet:M::<!--applet::/usr/local/java/bin/appletviewer:' > register
1181 echo ':DEXE:M::\x0eDEX::/usr/bin/dosexec:' > register
1182
1183
1184These four lines add support for Java executables and Java applets (like
1185binfmt_java, additionally recognizing the .html extension with no need to put
1186<!--applet> to every applet file). You have to install the JDK and the
1187shell-script /usr/local/java/bin/javawrapper too. It works around the
1188brokenness of the Java filename handling. To add a Java binary, just create a
1189link to the class-file somewhere in the path.
1190
11912.3 /proc/sys/kernel - general kernel parameters
1192------------------------------------------------
1193
1194This directory reflects general kernel behaviors. As I've said before, the
1195contents depend on your configuration. Here you'll find the most important
1196files, along with descriptions of what they mean and how to use them.
1197
1198acct
1199----
1200
1201The file contains three values; highwater, lowwater, and frequency.
1202
1203It exists only when BSD-style process accounting is enabled. These values
1204control its behavior. If the free space on the file system where the log lives
1205goes below lowwater percentage, accounting suspends. If it goes above
1206highwater percentage, accounting resumes. Frequency determines how often you
1207check the amount of free space (value is in seconds). Default settings are: 4,
12082, and 30. That is, suspend accounting if there is less than 2 percent free;
1209resume it if we have a value of 3 or more percent; consider information about
1210the amount of free space valid for 30 seconds
1211
1212ctrl-alt-del
1213------------
1214
1215When the value in this file is 0, ctrl-alt-del is trapped and sent to the init
1216program to handle a graceful restart. However, when the value is greater that
1217zero, Linux's reaction to this key combination will be an immediate reboot,
1218without syncing its dirty buffers.
1219
1220[NOTE]
1221 When a program (like dosemu) has the keyboard in raw mode, the
1222 ctrl-alt-del is intercepted by the program before it ever reaches the
1223 kernel tty layer, and it is up to the program to decide what to do with
1224 it.
1225
1226domainname and hostname
1227-----------------------
1228
1229These files can be controlled to set the NIS domainname and hostname of your
1230box. For the classic darkstar.frop.org a simple:
1231
1232 # echo "darkstar" > /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
1233 # echo "frop.org" > /proc/sys/kernel/domainname
1234
1235
1236would suffice to set your hostname and NIS domainname.
1237
1238osrelease, ostype and version
1239-----------------------------
1240
1241The names make it pretty obvious what these fields contain:
1242
1243 > cat /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease
1244 2.2.12
1245
1246 > cat /proc/sys/kernel/ostype
1247 Linux
1248
1249 > cat /proc/sys/kernel/version
1250 #4 Fri Oct 1 12:41:14 PDT 1999
1251
1252
1253The files osrelease and ostype should be clear enough. Version needs a little
1254more clarification. The #4 means that this is the 4th kernel built from this
1255source base and the date after it indicates the time the kernel was built. The
1256only way to tune these values is to rebuild the kernel.
1257
1258panic
1259-----
1260
1261The value in this file represents the number of seconds the kernel waits
1262before rebooting on a panic. When you use the software watchdog, the
1263recommended setting is 60. If set to 0, the auto reboot after a kernel panic
1264is disabled, which is the default setting.
1265
1266printk
1267------
1268
1269The four values in printk denote
1270* console_loglevel,
1271* default_message_loglevel,
1272* minimum_console_loglevel and
1273* default_console_loglevel
1274respectively.
1275
1276These values influence printk() behavior when printing or logging error
1277messages, which come from inside the kernel. See syslog(2) for more
1278information on the different log levels.
1279
1280console_loglevel
1281----------------
1282
1283Messages with a higher priority than this will be printed to the console.
1284
1285default_message_level
1286---------------------
1287
1288Messages without an explicit priority will be printed with this priority.
1289
1290minimum_console_loglevel
1291------------------------
1292
1293Minimum (highest) value to which the console_loglevel can be set.
1294
1295default_console_loglevel
1296------------------------
1297
1298Default value for console_loglevel.
1299
1300sg-big-buff
1301-----------
1302
1303This file shows the size of the generic SCSI (sg) buffer. At this point, you
1304can't tune it yet, but you can change it at compile time by editing
1305include/scsi/sg.h and changing the value of SG_BIG_BUFF.
1306
1307If you use a scanner with SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) you might want to set
1308this to a higher value. Refer to the SANE documentation on this issue.
1309
1310modprobe
1311--------
1312
1313The location where the modprobe binary is located. The kernel uses this
1314program to load modules on demand.
1315
1316unknown_nmi_panic
1317-----------------
1318
1319The value in this file affects behavior of handling NMI. When the value is
1320non-zero, unknown NMI is trapped and then panic occurs. At that time, kernel
1321debugging information is displayed on console.
1322
1323NMI switch that most IA32 servers have fires unknown NMI up, for example.
1324If a system hangs up, try pressing the NMI switch.
1325
1326panic_on_unrecovered_nmi
1327------------------------
1328
1329The default Linux behaviour on an NMI of either memory or unknown is to continue
1330operation. For many environments such as scientific computing it is preferable
1331that the box is taken out and the error dealt with than an uncorrected
1332parity/ECC error get propogated.
1333
1334A small number of systems do generate NMI's for bizarre random reasons such as
1335power management so the default is off. That sysctl works like the existing
1336panic controls already in that directory.
1337
1338nmi_watchdog
1339------------
1340
1341Enables/Disables the NMI watchdog on x86 systems. When the value is non-zero
1342the NMI watchdog is enabled and will continuously test all online cpus to
1343determine whether or not they are still functioning properly. Currently,
1344passing "nmi_watchdog=" parameter at boot time is required for this function
1345to work.
1346
1347If LAPIC NMI watchdog method is in use (nmi_watchdog=2 kernel parameter), the
1348NMI watchdog shares registers with oprofile. By disabling the NMI watchdog,
1349oprofile may have more registers to utilize.
1350
1351msgmni
1352------
1353
1354Maximum number of message queue ids on the system.
1355This value scales to the amount of lowmem. It is automatically recomputed
1356upon memory add/remove or ipc namespace creation/removal.
1357When a value is written into this file, msgmni's value becomes fixed, i.e. it
1358is not recomputed anymore when one of the above events occurs.
1359Use auto_msgmni to change this behavior.
1360
1361auto_msgmni
1362-----------
1363
1364Enables/Disables automatic recomputing of msgmni upon memory add/remove or
1365upon ipc namespace creation/removal (see the msgmni description above).
1366Echoing "1" into this file enables msgmni automatic recomputing.
1367Echoing "0" turns it off.
1368auto_msgmni default value is 1.
1369
1370
13712.4 /proc/sys/vm - The virtual memory subsystem
1372-----------------------------------------------
1373
1374Please see: Documentation/sysctls/vm.txt for a description of these
1375entries. 987entries.
1376 988
989------------------------------------------------------------------------------
990Summary
991------------------------------------------------------------------------------
992Certain aspects of kernel behavior can be modified at runtime, without the
993need to recompile the kernel, or even to reboot the system. The files in the
994/proc/sys tree can not only be read, but also modified. You can use the echo
995command to write value into these files, thereby changing the default settings
996of the kernel.
997------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1377 998
13782.5 /proc/sys/dev - Device specific parameters 999------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1379---------------------------------------------- 1000CHAPTER 3: PER-PROCESS PARAMETERS
1380 1001------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1381Currently there is only support for CDROM drives, and for those, there is only
1382one read-only file containing information about the CD-ROM drives attached to
1383the system:
1384
1385 >cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info
1386 CD-ROM information, Id: cdrom.c 2.55 1999/04/25
1387
1388 drive name: sr0 hdb
1389 drive speed: 32 40
1390 drive # of slots: 1 0
1391 Can close tray: 1 1
1392 Can open tray: 1 1
1393 Can lock tray: 1 1
1394 Can change speed: 1 1
1395 Can select disk: 0 1
1396 Can read multisession: 1 1
1397 Can read MCN: 1 1
1398 Reports media changed: 1 1
1399 Can play audio: 1 1
1400
1401
1402You see two drives, sr0 and hdb, along with a list of their features.
1403
14042.6 /proc/sys/sunrpc - Remote procedure calls
1405---------------------------------------------
1406
1407This directory contains four files, which enable or disable debugging for the
1408RPC functions NFS, NFS-daemon, RPC and NLM. The default values are 0. They can
1409be set to one to turn debugging on. (The default value is 0 for each)
1410
14112.7 /proc/sys/net - Networking stuff
1412------------------------------------
1413
1414The interface to the networking parts of the kernel is located in
1415/proc/sys/net. Table 2-3 shows all possible subdirectories. You may see only
1416some of them, depending on your kernel's configuration.
1417
1418
1419Table 2-3: Subdirectories in /proc/sys/net
1420..............................................................................
1421 Directory Content Directory Content
1422 core General parameter appletalk Appletalk protocol
1423 unix Unix domain sockets netrom NET/ROM
1424 802 E802 protocol ax25 AX25
1425 ethernet Ethernet protocol rose X.25 PLP layer
1426 ipv4 IP version 4 x25 X.25 protocol
1427 ipx IPX token-ring IBM token ring
1428 bridge Bridging decnet DEC net
1429 ipv6 IP version 6
1430..............................................................................
1431
1432We will concentrate on IP networking here. Since AX15, X.25, and DEC Net are
1433only minor players in the Linux world, we'll skip them in this chapter. You'll
1434find some short info on Appletalk and IPX further on in this chapter. Review
1435the online documentation and the kernel source to get a detailed view of the
1436parameters for those protocols. In this section we'll discuss the
1437subdirectories printed in bold letters in the table above. As default values
1438are suitable for most needs, there is no need to change these values.
1439
1440/proc/sys/net/core - Network core options
1441-----------------------------------------
1442
1443rmem_default
1444------------
1445
1446The default setting of the socket receive buffer in bytes.
1447
1448rmem_max
1449--------
1450
1451The maximum receive socket buffer size in bytes.
1452
1453wmem_default
1454------------
1455
1456The default setting (in bytes) of the socket send buffer.
1457
1458wmem_max
1459--------
1460
1461The maximum send socket buffer size in bytes.
1462
1463message_burst and message_cost
1464------------------------------
1465
1466These parameters are used to limit the warning messages written to the kernel
1467log from the networking code. They enforce a rate limit to make a
1468denial-of-service attack impossible. A higher message_cost factor, results in
1469fewer messages that will be written. Message_burst controls when messages will
1470be dropped. The default settings limit warning messages to one every five
1471seconds.
1472
1473warnings
1474--------
1475
1476This controls console messages from the networking stack that can occur because
1477of problems on the network like duplicate address or bad checksums. Normally,
1478this should be enabled, but if the problem persists the messages can be
1479disabled.
1480
1481netdev_budget
1482-------------
1483
1484Maximum number of packets taken from all interfaces in one polling cycle (NAPI
1485poll). In one polling cycle interfaces which are registered to polling are
1486probed in a round-robin manner. The limit of packets in one such probe can be
1487set per-device via sysfs class/net/<device>/weight .
1488
1489netdev_max_backlog
1490------------------
1491
1492Maximum number of packets, queued on the INPUT side, when the interface
1493receives packets faster than kernel can process them.
1494
1495optmem_max
1496----------
1497
1498Maximum ancillary buffer size allowed per socket. Ancillary data is a sequence
1499of struct cmsghdr structures with appended data.
1500
1501/proc/sys/net/unix - Parameters for Unix domain sockets
1502-------------------------------------------------------
1503
1504There are only two files in this subdirectory. They control the delays for
1505deleting and destroying socket descriptors.
1506
15072.8 /proc/sys/net/ipv4 - IPV4 settings
1508--------------------------------------
1509
1510IP version 4 is still the most used protocol in Unix networking. It will be
1511replaced by IP version 6 in the next couple of years, but for the moment it's
1512the de facto standard for the internet and is used in most networking
1513environments around the world. Because of the importance of this protocol,
1514we'll have a deeper look into the subtree controlling the behavior of the IPv4
1515subsystem of the Linux kernel.
1516
1517Let's start with the entries in /proc/sys/net/ipv4.
1518
1519ICMP settings
1520-------------
1521
1522icmp_echo_ignore_all and icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts
1523----------------------------------------------------
1524
1525Turn on (1) or off (0), if the kernel should ignore all ICMP ECHO requests, or
1526just those to broadcast and multicast addresses.
1527
1528Please note that if you accept ICMP echo requests with a broadcast/multi\-cast
1529destination address your network may be used as an exploder for denial of
1530service packet flooding attacks to other hosts.
1531
1532icmp_destunreach_rate, icmp_echoreply_rate, icmp_paramprob_rate and icmp_timeexeed_rate
1533---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1534
1535Sets limits for sending ICMP packets to specific targets. A value of zero
1536disables all limiting. Any positive value sets the maximum package rate in
1537hundredth of a second (on Intel systems).
1538
1539IP settings
1540-----------
1541
1542ip_autoconfig
1543-------------
1544
1545This file contains the number one if the host received its IP configuration by
1546RARP, BOOTP, DHCP or a similar mechanism. Otherwise it is zero.
1547
1548ip_default_ttl
1549--------------
1550
1551TTL (Time To Live) for IPv4 interfaces. This is simply the maximum number of
1552hops a packet may travel.
1553
1554ip_dynaddr
1555----------
1556
1557Enable dynamic socket address rewriting on interface address change. This is
1558useful for dialup interface with changing IP addresses.
1559
1560ip_forward
1561----------
1562
1563Enable or disable forwarding of IP packages between interfaces. Changing this
1564value resets all other parameters to their default values. They differ if the
1565kernel is configured as host or router.
1566
1567ip_local_port_range
1568-------------------
1569
1570Range of ports used by TCP and UDP to choose the local port. Contains two
1571numbers, the first number is the lowest port, the second number the highest
1572local port. Default is 1024-4999. Should be changed to 32768-61000 for
1573high-usage systems.
1574
1575ip_no_pmtu_disc
1576---------------
1577
1578Global switch to turn path MTU discovery off. It can also be set on a per
1579socket basis by the applications or on a per route basis.
1580
1581ip_masq_debug
1582-------------
1583
1584Enable/disable debugging of IP masquerading.
1585
1586IP fragmentation settings
1587-------------------------
1588
1589ipfrag_high_trash and ipfrag_low_trash
1590--------------------------------------
1591
1592Maximum memory used to reassemble IP fragments. When ipfrag_high_thresh bytes
1593of memory is allocated for this purpose, the fragment handler will toss
1594packets until ipfrag_low_thresh is reached.
1595
1596ipfrag_time
1597-----------
1598
1599Time in seconds to keep an IP fragment in memory.
1600
1601TCP settings
1602------------
1603
1604tcp_ecn
1605-------
1606
1607This file controls the use of the ECN bit in the IPv4 headers. This is a new
1608feature about Explicit Congestion Notification, but some routers and firewalls
1609block traffic that has this bit set, so it could be necessary to echo 0 to
1610/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn if you want to talk to these sites. For more info
1611you could read RFC2481.
1612
1613tcp_retrans_collapse
1614--------------------
1615
1616Bug-to-bug compatibility with some broken printers. On retransmit, try to send
1617larger packets to work around bugs in certain TCP stacks. Can be turned off by
1618setting it to zero.
1619
1620tcp_keepalive_probes
1621--------------------
1622
1623Number of keep alive probes TCP sends out, until it decides that the
1624connection is broken.
1625
1626tcp_keepalive_time
1627------------------
1628
1629How often TCP sends out keep alive messages, when keep alive is enabled. The
1630default is 2 hours.
1631
1632tcp_syn_retries
1633---------------
1634
1635Number of times initial SYNs for a TCP connection attempt will be
1636retransmitted. Should not be higher than 255. This is only the timeout for
1637outgoing connections, for incoming connections the number of retransmits is
1638defined by tcp_retries1.
1639
1640tcp_sack
1641--------
1642
1643Enable select acknowledgments after RFC2018.
1644
1645tcp_timestamps
1646--------------
1647
1648Enable timestamps as defined in RFC1323.
1649
1650tcp_stdurg
1651----------
1652
1653Enable the strict RFC793 interpretation of the TCP urgent pointer field. The
1654default is to use the BSD compatible interpretation of the urgent pointer
1655pointing to the first byte after the urgent data. The RFC793 interpretation is
1656to have it point to the last byte of urgent data. Enabling this option may
1657lead to interoperability problems. Disabled by default.
1658
1659tcp_syncookies
1660--------------
1661
1662Only valid when the kernel was compiled with CONFIG_SYNCOOKIES. Send out
1663syncookies when the syn backlog queue of a socket overflows. This is to ward
1664off the common 'syn flood attack'. Disabled by default.
1665
1666Note that the concept of a socket backlog is abandoned. This means the peer
1667may not receive reliable error messages from an over loaded server with
1668syncookies enabled.
1669
1670tcp_window_scaling
1671------------------
1672
1673Enable window scaling as defined in RFC1323.
1674
1675tcp_fin_timeout
1676---------------
1677
1678The length of time in seconds it takes to receive a final FIN before the
1679socket is always closed. This is strictly a violation of the TCP
1680specification, but required to prevent denial-of-service attacks.
1681
1682tcp_max_ka_probes
1683-----------------
1684
1685Indicates how many keep alive probes are sent per slow timer run. Should not
1686be set too high to prevent bursts.
1687
1688tcp_max_syn_backlog
1689-------------------
1690
1691Length of the per socket backlog queue. Since Linux 2.2 the backlog specified
1692in listen(2) only specifies the length of the backlog queue of already
1693established sockets. When more connection requests arrive Linux starts to drop
1694packets. When syncookies are enabled the packets are still answered and the
1695maximum queue is effectively ignored.
1696
1697tcp_retries1
1698------------
1699
1700Defines how often an answer to a TCP connection request is retransmitted
1701before giving up.
1702
1703tcp_retries2
1704------------
1705
1706Defines how often a TCP packet is retransmitted before giving up.
1707
1708Interface specific settings
1709---------------------------
1710
1711In the directory /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf you'll find one subdirectory for each
1712interface the system knows about and one directory calls all. Changes in the
1713all subdirectory affect all interfaces, whereas changes in the other
1714subdirectories affect only one interface. All directories have the same
1715entries:
1716
1717accept_redirects
1718----------------
1719
1720This switch decides if the kernel accepts ICMP redirect messages or not. The
1721default is 'yes' if the kernel is configured for a regular host and 'no' for a
1722router configuration.
1723
1724accept_source_route
1725-------------------
1726
1727Should source routed packages be accepted or declined. The default is
1728dependent on the kernel configuration. It's 'yes' for routers and 'no' for
1729hosts.
1730
1731bootp_relay
1732~~~~~~~~~~~
1733
1734Accept packets with source address 0.b.c.d with destinations not to this host
1735as local ones. It is supposed that a BOOTP relay daemon will catch and forward
1736such packets.
1737
1738The default is 0, since this feature is not implemented yet (kernel version
17392.2.12).
1740
1741forwarding
1742----------
1743
1744Enable or disable IP forwarding on this interface.
1745
1746log_martians
1747------------
1748
1749Log packets with source addresses with no known route to kernel log.
1750
1751mc_forwarding
1752-------------
1753
1754Do multicast routing. The kernel needs to be compiled with CONFIG_MROUTE and a
1755multicast routing daemon is required.
1756
1757proxy_arp
1758---------
1759
1760Does (1) or does not (0) perform proxy ARP.
1761
1762rp_filter
1763---------
1764
1765Integer value determines if a source validation should be made. 1 means yes, 0
1766means no. Disabled by default, but local/broadcast address spoofing is always
1767on.
1768
1769If you set this to 1 on a router that is the only connection for a network to
1770the net, it will prevent spoofing attacks against your internal networks
1771(external addresses can still be spoofed), without the need for additional
1772firewall rules.
1773
1774secure_redirects
1775----------------
1776
1777Accept ICMP redirect messages only for gateways, listed in default gateway
1778list. Enabled by default.
1779
1780shared_media
1781------------
1782
1783If it is not set the kernel does not assume that different subnets on this
1784device can communicate directly. Default setting is 'yes'.
1785
1786send_redirects
1787--------------
1788
1789Determines whether to send ICMP redirects to other hosts.
1790
1791Routing settings
1792----------------
1793
1794The directory /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route contains several file to control
1795routing issues.
1796
1797error_burst and error_cost
1798--------------------------
1799
1800These parameters are used to limit how many ICMP destination unreachable to
1801send from the host in question. ICMP destination unreachable messages are
1802sent when we cannot reach the next hop while trying to transmit a packet.
1803It will also print some error messages to kernel logs if someone is ignoring
1804our ICMP redirects. The higher the error_cost factor is, the fewer
1805destination unreachable and error messages will be let through. Error_burst
1806controls when destination unreachable messages and error messages will be
1807dropped. The default settings limit warning messages to five every second.
1808
1809flush
1810-----
1811
1812Writing to this file results in a flush of the routing cache.
1813
1814gc_elasticity, gc_interval, gc_min_interval_ms, gc_timeout, gc_thresh
1815---------------------------------------------------------------------
1816
1817Values to control the frequency and behavior of the garbage collection
1818algorithm for the routing cache. gc_min_interval is deprecated and replaced
1819by gc_min_interval_ms.
1820
1821
1822max_size
1823--------
1824
1825Maximum size of the routing cache. Old entries will be purged once the cache
1826reached has this size.
1827
1828redirect_load, redirect_number
1829------------------------------
1830
1831Factors which determine if more ICPM redirects should be sent to a specific
1832host. No redirects will be sent once the load limit or the maximum number of
1833redirects has been reached.
1834
1835redirect_silence
1836----------------
1837
1838Timeout for redirects. After this period redirects will be sent again, even if
1839this has been stopped, because the load or number limit has been reached.
1840
1841Network Neighbor handling
1842-------------------------
1843
1844Settings about how to handle connections with direct neighbors (nodes attached
1845to the same link) can be found in the directory /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh.
1846
1847As we saw it in the conf directory, there is a default subdirectory which
1848holds the default values, and one directory for each interface. The contents
1849of the directories are identical, with the single exception that the default
1850settings contain additional options to set garbage collection parameters.
1851
1852In the interface directories you'll find the following entries:
1853
1854base_reachable_time, base_reachable_time_ms
1855-------------------------------------------
1856
1857A base value used for computing the random reachable time value as specified
1858in RFC2461.
1859
1860Expression of base_reachable_time, which is deprecated, is in seconds.
1861Expression of base_reachable_time_ms is in milliseconds.
1862
1863retrans_time, retrans_time_ms
1864-----------------------------
1865
1866The time between retransmitted Neighbor Solicitation messages.
1867Used for address resolution and to determine if a neighbor is
1868unreachable.
1869

1906An ARP/neighbor entry is only replaced with a new one if the old is at least
1907locktime old. This prevents ARP cache thrashing.
1908
1909proxy_delay
1910-----------
1911
1912Maximum time (real time is random [0..proxytime]) before answering to an ARP
1913request for which we have an proxy ARP entry. In some cases, this is used to
1914prevent network flooding.

1925to turn off.
1926
1927gc_stale_time
1928-------------
1929
1930Determines how often to check for stale ARP entries. After an ARP entry is
1931stale it will be resolved again (which is useful when an IP address migrates
1932to another machine). When ucast_solicit is greater than 0 it first tries to
1933send an ARP packet directly to the known host When that fails and
1934mcast_solicit is greater than 0, an ARP request is broadcasted.
1935
19362.9 Appletalk
1937-------------

1940when Appletalk is loaded. The configurable parameters are:
1941
1942aarp-expiry-time
1943----------------
1944
1945The amount of time we keep an ARP entry before expiring it. Used to age out
1946old hosts.
1947

1950
1951The amount of time we will spend trying to resolve an Appletalk address.
1952

1954---------------------
1955
1956The number of times we will retransmit a query before giving up.
1957
1958aarp-tick-time
1959--------------
1960
1961Controls the rate at which expires are checked.
1962
1963The directory /proc/net/appletalk holds the list of active Appletalk sockets
1964on a machine.
1965
1966The fields indicate the DDP type, the local address (in network:node format)
1967the remote address, the size of the transmit pending queue, the size of the
1968received queue (bytes waiting for applications to read) the state and the uid
1969owning the socket.
1970
1971/proc/net/atalk_iface lists all the interfaces configured for appletalk.It
1972shows the name of the interface, its Appletalk address, the network range on
1973that address (or network number for phase 1 networks), and the status of the
1974interface.
1975
1976/proc/net/atalk_route lists each known network route. It lists the target
1977(network) that the route leads to, the router (may be directly connected), the
1978route flags, and the device the route is using.
1979
19802.10 IPX
1981--------
1982
1983The IPX protocol has no tunable values in proc/sys/net.
1984
1985The IPX protocol does, however, provide proc/net/ipx. This lists each IPX
1986socket giving the local and remote addresses in Novell format (that is
1987network:node:port). In accordance with the strange Novell tradition,
1988everything but the port is in hex. Not_Connected is displayed for sockets that
1989are not tied to a specific remote address. The Tx and Rx queue sizes indicate
1990the number of bytes pending for transmission and reception. The state
1991indicates the state the socket is in and the uid is the owning uid of the
1992socket.
1993
1994The /proc/net/ipx_interface file lists all IPX interfaces. For each interface
1995it gives the network number, the node number, and indicates if the network is
1996the primary network. It also indicates which device it is bound to (or
1997Internal for internal networks) and the Frame Type if appropriate. Linux
1998supports 802.3, 802.2, 802.2 SNAP and DIX (Blue Book) ethernet framing for
1999IPX.
2000
2001The /proc/net/ipx_route table holds a list of IPX routes. For each route it
2002gives the destination network, the router node (or Directly) and the network
2003address of the router (or Connected) for internal networks.
2004
20052.11 /proc/sys/fs/mqueue - POSIX message queues filesystem
2006----------------------------------------------------------
2007
2008The "mqueue" filesystem provides the necessary kernel features to enable the
2009creation of a user space library that implements the POSIX message queues
2010API (as noted by the MSG tag in the POSIX 1003.1-2001 version of the System
2011Interfaces specification.)
2012
2013The "mqueue" filesystem contains values for determining/setting the amount of
2014resources used by the file system.
2015
2016/proc/sys/fs/mqueue/queues_max is a read/write file for setting/getting the
2017maximum number of message queues allowed on the system.
2018
2019/proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_max is a read/write file for setting/getting the
2020maximum number of messages in a queue value. In fact it is the limiting value
2021for another (user) limit which is set in mq_open invocation. This attribute of
2022a queue must be less or equal then msg_max.
2023
2024/proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msgsize_max is a read/write file for setting/getting the
2025maximum message size value (it is every message queue's attribute set during
2026its creation).

2283This configuration option sets the maximum number of "watches" that are
2284allowed for each user.
2285Each "watch" costs roughly 90 bytes on a 32bit kernel, and roughly 160 bytes

68High Accuracy Temperature Reading
69---------------------------------
70
71As said before, the temperature issued via the 9-bit i2c-bus data is
72somewhat arbitrary. Internally, the temperature conversion is of a
73different kind that is explained (not so...) well in the DS1621 data sheet.
74To cut the long story short: Inside the DS1621 there are two oscillators,
75both of them biassed by a temperature coefficient.
76
77Higher resolution of the temperature reading can be achieved using the
78internal projection, which means taking account of REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE
79(the driver manages them):
80
81Taken from Dallas Semiconductors App Note 068: 'Increasing Temperature
82Resolution on the DS1620' and App Note 105: 'High Resolution Temperature
83Measurement with Dallas Direct-to-Digital Temperature Sensors'
84
85- Read the 9-bit temperature and strip the LSB (Truncate the .5 degs)
86- The resulting value is TEMP_READ.
87- Then, read REG_COUNT.
88- And then, REG_SLOPE.
89
90 TEMP = TEMP_READ - 0.25 + ((REG_SLOPE - REG_COUNT) / REG_SLOPE)
91
92Note that this is what the DONE bit in the DS1621 configuration register is
93good for: Internally, one temperature conversion takes up to 1000ms. Before
94that conversion is complete you will not be able to read valid things out
95of REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE. The DONE bit, as you may have guessed by now,
96tells you whether the conversion is complete ("done", in plain English) and
97thus, whether the values you read are good or not.
98
99The DS1621 has two modes of operation: "Continuous" conversion, which can
100be understood as the default stand-alone mode where the chip gets the
101temperature and controls external devices via its Tout pin or tells other
102i2c's about it if they care. The other mode is called "1SHOT", that means
103that it only figures out about the temperature when it is explicitly told
104to do so; this can be seen as power saving mode.
105
106Now if you want to read REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE, you have to either stop
107the continuous conversions until the contents of these registers are valid,
108or, in 1SHOT mode, you have to have one conversion made.

62Q&A

64
65Q: How do I safely simulate freefall? I have an HP "portable
66workstation" which has about 3.5kg and a plastic case, so letting it
67fall to the ground is out of question...
68
69A: The sensor is pretty sensitive, so your hands can do it. Lift it
70into free space, follow the fall with your hands for like 10
71centimeters. That should be enough to trigger the detection.

17The LTC4215 controller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed
18from a live backplane.
19
20
21Usage Notes
22-----------
23
24This driver does not probe for LTC4215 devices, due to the fact that some
25of the possible addresses are unfriendly to probing. You will need to use
26the "force" parameter to tell the driver where to find the device.
27
28Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4215 at address 0x44
29on I2C bus #0:
30$ modprobe ltc4215 force=0,0x44
31

33Sysfs entries
34-------------

36The LTC4215 has built-in limits for overvoltage, undervoltage, and
37undercurrent warnings. This makes it very likely that the reference

14Description
15-----------
16The ISL29003 is an integrated light sensor with a 16-bit integrating type
17ADC, I2C user programmable lux range select for optimized counts/lux, and
18I2C multi-function control and monitoring capabilities. The internal ADC
19provides 16-bit resolution while rejecting 50Hz and 60Hz flicker caused by
20artificial light sources.
21
22The driver allows to set the lux range, the bit resolution, the operational
23mode (see below) and the power state of device and can read the current lux
24value, of course.
25
26
27Detection
28---------
29
30The ISL29003 does not have an ID register which could be used to identify
31it, so the detection routine will just try to read from the configured I2C
32addess and consider the device to be present as soon as it ACKs the
33transfer.

2033. /proc/sys/fs/mqueue - POSIX message queues filesystem
204----------------------------------------------------------
205
206The "mqueue" filesystem provides the necessary kernel features to enable the
207creation of a user space library that implements the POSIX message queues
208API (as noted by the MSG tag in the POSIX 1003.1-2001 version of the System
209Interfaces specification.)
210
211The "mqueue" filesystem contains values for determining/setting the amount of
212resources used by the file system.
213
214/proc/sys/fs/mqueue/queues_max is a read/write file for setting/getting the
215maximum number of message queues allowed on the system.
216
217/proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_max is a read/write file for setting/getting the
218maximum number of messages in a queue value. In fact it is the limiting value
219for another (user) limit which is set in mq_open invocation. This attribute of
220a queue must be less or equal then msg_max.
221
222/proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msgsize_max is a read/write file for setting/getting the
223maximum message size value (it is every message queue's attribute set during
224its creation).
225
226
2274. /proc/sys/fs/epoll - Configuration options for the epoll interface
228--------------------------------------------------------
229
230This directory contains configuration options for the epoll(7) interface.
231
232max_user_instances
233------------------
234
235This is the maximum number of epoll file descriptors that a single user can
236have open at a given time. The default value is 128, and should be enough
237for normal users.
238
239max_user_watches
240----------------
241
242Every epoll file descriptor can store a number of files to be monitored
243for event readiness. Each one of these monitored files constitutes a "watch".
244This configuration option sets the maximum number of "watches" that are
245allowed for each user.
246Each "watch" costs roughly 90 bytes on a 32bit kernel, and roughly 160 bytes
247on a 64bit one.
248The current default value for max_user_watches is the 1/32 of the available
249low memory, divided for the "watch" cost in bytes.

407to work.
408

432
433A small number of systems do generate NMI's for bizarre random reasons such as
434power management so the default is off. That sysctl works like the existing
435panic controls already in that directory.

321. /proc/sys/net/core - Network core options
33-------------------------------------------------------
34
35rmem_default
36------------
37
38The default setting of the socket receive buffer in bytes.
39
40rmem_max
41--------
42
43The maximum receive socket buffer size in bytes.
44
45wmem_default
46------------
47
48The default setting (in bytes) of the socket send buffer.
49
50wmem_max
51--------
52
53The maximum send socket buffer size in bytes.
54
55message_burst and message_cost
56------------------------------
57
58These parameters are used to limit the warning messages written to the kernel
59log from the networking code. They enforce a rate limit to make a
60denial-of-service attack impossible. A higher message_cost factor, results in
61fewer messages that will be written. Message_burst controls when messages will
62be dropped. The default settings limit warning messages to one every five
63seconds.
64
65warnings
66--------
67
68This controls console messages from the networking stack that can occur because
69of problems on the network like duplicate address or bad checksums. Normally,
70this should be enabled, but if the problem persists the messages can be
71disabled.
72
73netdev_budget
74-------------
75
76Maximum number of packets taken from all interfaces in one polling cycle (NAPI
77poll). In one polling cycle interfaces which are registered to polling are
78probed in a round-robin manner. The limit of packets in one such probe can be
79set per-device via sysfs class/net/<device>/weight .
80
81netdev_max_backlog
82------------------
83
84Maximum number of packets, queued on the INPUT side, when the interface
85receives packets faster than kernel can process them.
86
87optmem_max
88----------
89
90Maximum ancillary buffer size allowed per socket. Ancillary data is a sequence
91of struct cmsghdr structures with appended data.
92
932. /proc/sys/net/unix - Parameters for Unix domain sockets
94-------------------------------------------------------
95
96There is only one file in this directory.
97unix_dgram_qlen limits the max number of datagrams queued in Unix domain
98socket's buffer. It will not take effect unless PF_UNIX flag is spicified.
99
100
1013. /proc/sys/net/ipv4 - IPV4 settings
102-------------------------------------------------------
103Please see: Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt and ipvs-sysctl.txt for
104descriptions of these entries.
105
106
1074. Appletalk
108-------------------------------------------------------
109
110The /proc/sys/net/appletalk directory holds the Appletalk configuration data
111when Appletalk is loaded. The configurable parameters are:
112
113aarp-expiry-time
114----------------
115
116The amount of time we keep an ARP entry before expiring it. Used to age out
117old hosts.
118
119aarp-resolve-time
120-----------------
121
122The amount of time we will spend trying to resolve an Appletalk address.
123
124aarp-retransmit-limit
125---------------------
126
127The number of times we will retransmit a query before giving up.
128
129aarp-tick-time
130--------------
131
132Controls the rate at which expires are checked.
133
134The directory /proc/net/appletalk holds the list of active Appletalk sockets
135on a machine.
136
137The fields indicate the DDP type, the local address (in network:node format)
138the remote address, the size of the transmit pending queue, the size of the
139received queue (bytes waiting for applications to read) the state and the uid
140owning the socket.
141
142/proc/net/atalk_iface lists all the interfaces configured for appletalk.It
143shows the name of the interface, its Appletalk address, the network range on
144that address (or network number for phase 1 networks), and the status of the
145interface.
146
147/proc/net/atalk_route lists each known network route. It lists the target
148(network) that the route leads to, the router (may be directly connected), the
149route flags, and the device the route is using.
150
151
1525. IPX
153-------------------------------------------------------
154
155The IPX protocol has no tunable values in proc/sys/net.
156
157The IPX protocol does, however, provide proc/net/ipx. This lists each IPX
158socket giving the local and remote addresses in Novell format (that is
159network:node:port). In accordance with the strange Novell tradition,
160everything but the port is in hex. Not_Connected is displayed for sockets that
161are not tied to a specific remote address. The Tx and Rx queue sizes indicate
162the number of bytes pending for transmission and reception. The state
163indicates the state the socket is in and the uid is the owning uid of the
164socket.
165
166The /proc/net/ipx_interface file lists all IPX interfaces. For each interface
167it gives the network number, the node number, and indicates if the network is
168the primary network. It also indicates which device it is bound to (or
169Internal for internal networks) and the Frame Type if appropriate. Linux
170supports 802.3, 802.2, 802.2 SNAP and DIX (Blue Book) ethernet framing for
171IPX.
172
173The /proc/net/ipx_route table holds a list of IPX routes. For each route it
174gives the destination network, the router node (or Directly) and the network
175address of the router (or Connected) for internal networks.

572video buffer helper functions
573-----------------------------
574
575The v4l2 core API provides a standard method for dealing with video
576buffers. Those methods allow a driver to implement read(), mmap() and
577overlay() on a consistent way.
578
579There are currently methods for using video buffers on devices that
580supports DMA with scatter/gather method (videobuf-dma-sg), DMA with
581linear access (videobuf-dma-contig), and vmalloced buffers, mostly
582used on USB drivers (videobuf-vmalloc).
583
584Any driver using videobuf should provide operations (callbacks) for
585four handlers:
586
587ops->buf_setup - calculates the size of the video buffers and avoid they
588 to waste more than some maximum limit of RAM;
589ops->buf_prepare - fills the video buffer structs and calls
590 videobuf_iolock() to alloc and prepare mmaped memory;
591ops->buf_queue - advices the driver that another buffer were
592 requested (by read() or by QBUF);
593ops->buf_release - frees any buffer that were allocated.
594
595In order to use it, the driver need to have a code (generally called at
596interrupt context) that will properly handle the buffer request lists,
597announcing that a new buffer were filled.
598
599The irq handling code should handle the videobuf task lists, in order
600to advice videobuf that a new frame were filled, in order to honor to a
601request. The code is generally like this one:
602 if (list_empty(&dma_q->active))
603 return;
604
605 buf = list_entry(dma_q->active.next, struct vbuffer, vb.queue);
606
607 if (!waitqueue_active(&buf->vb.done))
608 return;
609
610 /* Some logic to handle the buf may be needed here */
611
612 list_del(&buf->vb.queue);
613 do_gettimeofday(&buf->vb.ts);
614 wake_up(&buf->vb.done);
615
616Those are the videobuffer functions used on drivers, implemented on
617videobuf-core:
618
619- Videobuf init functions
620 videobuf_queue_sg_init()
621 Initializes the videobuf infrastructure. This function should be
622 called before any other videobuf function on drivers that uses DMA
623 Scatter/Gather buffers.
624
625 videobuf_queue_dma_contig_init
626 Initializes the videobuf infrastructure. This function should be
627 called before any other videobuf function on drivers that need DMA
628 contiguous buffers.
629
630 videobuf_queue_vmalloc_init()
631 Initializes the videobuf infrastructure. This function should be
632 called before any other videobuf function on USB (and other drivers)
633 that need a vmalloced type of videobuf.
634
635- videobuf_iolock()
636 Prepares the videobuf memory for the proper method (read, mmap, overlay).
637
638- videobuf_queue_is_busy()
639 Checks if a videobuf is streaming.
640
641- videobuf_queue_cancel()
642 Stops video handling.
643
644- videobuf_mmap_free()
645 frees mmap buffers.
646
647- videobuf_stop()
648 Stops video handling, ends mmap and frees mmap and other buffers.
649
650- V4L2 api functions. Those functions correspond to VIDIOC_foo ioctls:
651 videobuf_reqbufs(), videobuf_querybuf(), videobuf_qbuf(),
652 videobuf_dqbuf(), videobuf_streamon(), videobuf_streamoff().
653
654- V4L1 api function (corresponds to VIDIOCMBUF ioctl):
655 videobuf_cgmbuf()
656 This function is used to provide backward compatibility with V4L1
657 API.
658
659- Some help functions for read()/poll() operations:
660 videobuf_read_stream()
661 For continuous stream read()
662 videobuf_read_one()
663 For snapshot read()
664 videobuf_poll_stream()
665 polling help function
666
667The better way to understand it is to take a look at vivi driver. One
668of the main reasons for vivi is to be a videobuf usage example. the
669vivi_thread_tick() does the task that the IRQ callback would do on PCI
670drivers (or the irq callback on USB).

2Mini-HOWTO for using the earlyprintk=dbgp boot option with a
3USB2 Debug port key and a debug cable, on x86 systems.
4
5You need two computers, the 'USB debug key' special gadget and
6and two USB cables, connected like this:
7
8 [host/target] <-------> [USB debug key] <-------> [client/console]
9
101. There are three specific hardware requirements:
11
12 a.) Host/target system needs to have USB debug port capability.
13
14 You can check this capability by looking at a 'Debug port' bit in
15 the lspci -vvv output:
16
17 # lspci -vvv

33 ...
34
35( If your system does not list a debug port capability then you probably
36 wont be able to use the USB debug key. )
37
38 b.) You also need a Netchip USB debug cable/key:
39
40 http://www.plxtech.com/products/NET2000/NET20DC/default.asp
41
42 This is a small blue plastic connector with two USB connections,
43 it draws power from its USB connections.
44
45 c.) Thirdly, you need a second client/console system with a regular USB port.
46
472. Software requirements:
48
49 a.) On the host/target system:
50
51 You need to enable the following kernel config option:
52
53 CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_DBGP=y
54
55 And you need to add the boot command line: "earlyprintk=dbgp".
56 (If you are using Grub, append it to the 'kernel' line in
57 /etc/grub.conf)
58
59 NOTE: normally earlyprintk console gets turned off once the
60 regular console is alive - use "earlyprintk=dbgp,keep" to keep
61 this channel open beyond early bootup. This can be useful for
62 debugging crashes under Xorg, etc.
63
64 b.) On the client/console system:
65
66 You should enable the following kernel config option:
67
68 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_DEBUG=y
69
70 On the next bootup with the modified kernel you should
71 get a /dev/ttyUSBx device(s).
72
73 Now this channel of kernel messages is ready to be used: start
74 your favorite terminal emulator (minicom, etc.) and set
75 it up to use /dev/ttyUSB0 - or use a raw 'cat /dev/ttyUSBx' to
76 see the raw output.
77
78 c.) On Nvidia Southbridge based systems: the kernel will try to probe
79 and find out which port has debug device connected.
80
813. Testing that it works fine:
82
83 You can test the output by using earlyprintk=dbgp,keep and provoking
84 kernel messages on the host/target system. You can provoke a harmless
85 kernel message by for example doing:
86
87 echo h > /proc/sysrq-trigger
88
89 On the host/target system you should see this help line in "dmesg" output:
90
91 SysRq : HELP : loglevel(0-9) reBoot Crashdump terminate-all-tasks(E) memory-full-oom-kill(F) kill-all-tasks(I) saK show-backtrace-all-active-cpus(L) show-memory-usage(M) nice-all-RT-tasks(N) powerOff show-registers(P) show-all-timers(Q) unRaw Sync show-task-states(T) Unmount show-blocked-tasks(W) dump-ftrace-buffer(Z)
92
93 On the client/console system do:
94
95 cat /dev/ttyUSB0
96
97 And you should see the help line above displayed shortly after you've
98 provoked it on the host system.
99
100If it does not work then please ask about it on the linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org
101mailing list or contact the x86 maintainers.
