Using a file descriptor gives ioctl operations access to +autofs specific information stored in the super block. The operations +are things such as setting an autofs mount catatonic, setting the +expire timeout and requesting expire checks. As is explained below, +certain types of autofs triggered mounts can end up covering an autofs +mount itself which prevents us being able to use open(2) to obtain a +file descriptor for these operations if we don't already have one open. + +Currently autofs uses "umount -l" (lazy umount) to clear active mounts +at restart. While using lazy umount works for most cases, anything that +needs to walk back up the mount tree to construct a path, such as +getcwd(2) and the proc file system /proc/<pid>/cwd, no longer works +because the point from which the path is constructed has been detached +from the mount tree. + +The actual problem with autofs is that it can't reconnect to existing +mounts. Immediately one thinks of just adding the ability to remount +autofs file systems would solve it, but alas, that can't work. This is +because autofs direct mounts and the implementation of "on demand mount +and expire" of nested mount trees have the file system mounted directly +on top of the mount trigger directory dentry. + +For example, there are two types of automount maps, direct (in the kernel +module source you will see a third type called an offset, which is just +a direct mount in disguise) and indirect. + +Here is a master map with direct and indirect map entries: + +/- /etc/auto.direct +/test /etc/auto.indirect + +and the corresponding map files: + +/etc/auto.direct: + +/automount/dparse/g6 budgie:/autofs/export1 +/automount/dparse/g1 shark:/autofs/export1 +and so on. + +/etc/auto.indirect: + +g1 shark:/autofs/export1 +g6 budgie:/autofs/export1 +and so on. + +For the above indirect map an autofs file system is mounted on /test and +mounts are triggered for each sub-directory key by the inode lookup +operation. So we see a mount of shark:/autofs/export1 on /test/g1, for +example. + +The way that direct mounts are handled is by making an autofs mount on +each full path, such as /automount/dparse/g1, and using it as a mount +trigger. So when we walk on the path we mount shark:/autofs/export1 "on +top of this mount point". Since these are always directories we can +use the follow_link inode operation to trigger the mount. + +But, each entry in direct and indirect maps can have offsets (making +them multi-mount map entries). + +For example, an indirect mount map entry could also be: + +g1 \ + / shark:/autofs/export5/testing/test \ + /s1 shark:/autofs/export/testing/test/s1 \ + /s2 shark:/autofs/export5/testing/test/s2 \ + /s1/ss1 shark:/autofs/export1 \ + /s2/ss2 shark:/autofs/export2 + +and a similarly a direct mount map entry could also be: + +/automount/dparse/g1 \ + / shark:/autofs/export5/testing/test \ + /s1 shark:/autofs/export/testing/test/s1 \ + /s2 shark:/autofs/export5/testing/test/s2 \ + /s1/ss1 shark:/autofs/export2 \ + /s2/ss2 shark:/autofs/export2 + +One of the issues with version 4 of autofs was that, when mounting an +entry with a large number of offsets, possibly with nesting, we needed +to mount and umount all of the offsets as a single unit. Not really a +problem, except for people with a large number of offsets in map entries. +This mechanism is used for the well known "hosts" map and we have seen +cases (in 2.4) where the available number of mounts are exhausted or +where the number of privileged ports available is exhausted. + +In version 5 we mount only as we go down the tree of offsets and +similarly for expiring them which resolves the above problem. There is +somewhat more detail to the implementation but it isn't needed for the +sake of the problem explanation. The one important detail is that these +offsets are implemented using the same mechanism as the direct mounts +above and so the mount points can be covered by a mount. + +The current autofs implementation uses an ioctl file descriptor opened +on the mount point for control operations. The references held by the +descriptor are accounted for in checks made to determine if a mount is +in use and is also used to access autofs file system information held +in the mount super block. So the use of a file handle needs to be +retained. + + +The Solution +============ + +To be able to restart autofs leaving existing direct, indirect and +offset mounts in place we need to be able to obtain a file handle +for these potentially covered autofs mount points. Rather than just +implement an isolated operation it was decided to re-implement the +existing ioctl interface and add new operations to provide this +functionality. + +In addition, to be able to reconstruct a mount tree that has busy mounts, +the uid and gid of the last user that triggered the mount needs to be +available because these can be used as macro substitution variables in +autofs maps. They are recorded at mount request time and an operation +has been added to retrieve them. + +Since we're re-implementing the control interface, a couple of other +problems with the existing interface have been addressed. First, when +a mount or expire operation completes a status is returned to the +kernel by either a "send ready" or a "send fail" operation. The +"send fail" operation of the ioctl interface could only ever send +ENOENT so the re-implementation allows user space to send an actual +status. Another expensive operation in user space, for those using +very large maps, is discovering if a mount is present. Usually this +involves scanning /proc/mounts and since it needs to be done quite +often it can introduce significant overhead when there are many entries +in the mount table. An operation to lookup the mount status of a mount +point dentry (covered or not) has also been added. + +Current kernel development policy recommends avoiding the use of the +ioctl mechanism in favor of systems such as Netlink. An implementation +using this system was attempted to evaluate its suitability and it was +found to be inadequate, in this case. The Generic Netlink system was +used for this as raw Netlink would lead to a significant increase in +complexity. There's no question that the Generic Netlink system is an +elegant solution for common case ioctl functions but it's not a complete +replacement probably because it's primary purpose in life is to be a +message bus implementation rather than specifically an ioctl replacement. +While it would be possible to work around this there is one concern +that lead to the decision to not use it. This is that the autofs +expire in the daemon has become far to complex because umount +candidates are enumerated, almost for no other reason than to "count" +the number of times to call the expire ioctl. This involves scanning +the mount table which has proved to be a big overhead for users with +large maps. The best way to improve this is try and get back to the +way the expire was done long ago. That is, when an expire request is +issued for a mount (file handle) we should continually call back to +the daemon until we can't umount any more mounts, then return the +appropriate status to the daemon. At the moment we just expire one +mount at a time. A Generic Netlink implementation would exclude this +possibility for future development due to the requirements of the +message bus architecture. + + +autofs4 Miscellaneous Device mount control interface +==================================================== + +The control interface is opening a device node, typically /dev/autofs. + +All the ioctls use a common structure to pass the needed parameter +information and return operation results: + +struct autofs_dev_ioctl { + __u32 ver_major; + __u32 ver_minor; + __u32 size; /* total size of data passed in + * including this struct */ + __s32 ioctlfd; /* automount command fd */ + + __u32 arg1; /* Command parameters */ + __u32 arg2; + + char path[0]; +}; + +The ioctlfd field is a mount point file descriptor of an autofs mount +point. It is returned by the open call and is used by all calls except +the check for whether a given path is a mount point, where it may +optionally be used to check a specific mount corresponding to a given +mount point file descriptor, and when requesting the uid and gid of the +last successful mount on a directory within the autofs file system. + +The fields arg1 and arg2 are used to communicate parameters and results of +calls made as described below. + +The path field is used to pass a path where it is needed and the size field +is used account for the increased structure length when translating the +structure sent from user space. + +This structure can be initialized before setting specific fields by using +the void function call init_autofs_dev_ioctl(struct autofs_dev_ioctl *). + +All of the ioctls perform a copy of this structure from user space to +kernel space and return -EINVAL if the size parameter is smaller than +the structure size itself, -ENOMEM if the kernel memory allocation fails +or -EFAULT if the copy itself fails. Other checks include a version check +of the compiled in user space version against the module version and a +mismatch results in a -EINVAL return.

It requires an initialized struct autofs_dev_ioctl as an +input parameter and sets the version information in the passed in structure. +It returns 0 on success or the error -EINVAL if a version mismatch is +detected. + + +AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_PROTOVER_CMD and AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_PROTOSUBVER_CMD +------------------------------------------------------------------ + +Get the major and minor version of the autofs4 protocol version understood +by loaded module. This call requires an initialized struct autofs_dev_ioctl +with the ioctlfd field set to a valid autofs mount point descriptor +and sets the requested version number in structure field arg1. These +commands return 0 on success or one of the negative error codes if +validation fails. + + +AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_OPENMOUNT and AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_CLOSEMOUNT +---------------------------------------------------------- + +Obtain and release a file descriptor for an autofs managed mount point +path. The open call requires an initialized struct autofs_dev_ioctl with +the the path field set and the size field adjusted appropriately as well +as the arg1 field set to the device number of the autofs mount. The +device number can be obtained from the mount options shown in +/proc/mounts. The close call requires an initialized struct +autofs_dev_ioct with the ioctlfd field set to the descriptor obtained +from the open call. The release of the file descriptor can also be done +with close(2) so any open descriptors will also be closed at process exit. +The close call is included in the implemented operations largely for +completeness and to provide for a consistent user space implementation. + + +AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_READY_CMD and AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_FAIL_CMD +-------------------------------------------------------- + +Return mount and expire result status from user space to the kernel. +Both of these calls require an initialized struct autofs_dev_ioctl +with the ioctlfd field set to the descriptor obtained from the open +call and the arg1 field set to the wait queue token number, received +by user space in the foregoing mount or expire request. The arg2 field +is set to the status to be returned. For the ready call this is always +0 and for the fail call it is set to the errno of the operation. + + +AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_SETPIPEFD_CMD +------------------------------ + +Set the pipe file descriptor used for kernel communication to the daemon. +Normally this is set at mount time using an option but when reconnecting +to a existing mount we need to use this to tell the autofs mount about +the new kernel pipe descriptor. In order to protect mounts against +incorrectly setting the pipe descriptor we also require that the autofs +mount be catatonic (see next call). + +The call requires an initialized struct autofs_dev_ioctl with the +ioctlfd field set to the descriptor obtained from the open call and +the arg1 field set to descriptor of the pipe. On success the call +also sets the process group id used to identify the controlling process +(eg. the owning automount(8) daemon) to the process group of the caller. + + +AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_CATATONIC_CMD +------------------------------ + +Make the autofs mount point catatonic. The autofs mount will no longer +issue mount requests, the kernel communication pipe descriptor is released +and any remaining waits in the queue released. + +The call requires an initialized struct autofs_dev_ioctl with the +ioctlfd field set to the descriptor obtained from the open call. + + +AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD +---------------------------- + +Set the expire timeout for mounts withing an autofs mount point. + +The call requires an initialized struct autofs_dev_ioctl with the +ioctlfd field set to the descriptor obtained from the open call. + + +AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_REQUESTER_CMD +------------------------------ + +Return the uid and gid of the last process to successfully trigger a the +mount on the given path dentry. + +The call requires an initialized struct autofs_dev_ioctl with the path +field set to the mount point in question and the size field adjusted +appropriately as well as the arg1 field set to the device number of the +containing autofs mount. Upon return the struct field arg1 contains the +uid and arg2 the gid. + +When reconstructing an autofs mount tree with active mounts we need to +re-connect to mounts that may have used the original process uid and +gid (or string variations of them) for mount lookups within the map entry. +This call provides the ability to obtain this uid and gid so they may be +used by user space for the mount map lookups. + + +AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD +--------------------------- + +Issue an expire request to the kernel for an autofs mount. Typically +this ioctl is called until no further expire candidates are found. + +The call requires an initialized struct autofs_dev_ioctl with the +ioctlfd field set to the descriptor obtained from the open call. In +addition an immediate expire, independent of the mount timeout, can be +requested by setting the arg1 field to 1. If no expire candidates can +be found the ioctl returns -1 with errno set to EAGAIN. + +This call causes the kernel module to check the mount corresponding +to the given ioctlfd for mounts that can be expired, issues an expire +request back to the daemon and waits for completion. + +AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_ASKUMOUNT_CMD +------------------------------ + +Checks if an autofs mount point is in use. + +The call requires an initialized struct autofs_dev_ioctl with the +ioctlfd field set to the descriptor obtained from the open call and +it returns the result in the arg1 field, 1 for busy and 0 otherwise. + + +AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_ISMOUNTPOINT_CMD +--------------------------------- + +Check if the given path is a mountpoint. + +The call requires an initialized struct autofs_dev_ioctl. There are two +possible variations. Both use the path field set to the path of the mount +point to check and the size field adjusted appropriately. One uses the +ioctlfd field to identify a specific mount point to check while the other +variation uses the path and optionaly arg1 set to an autofs mount type. +The call returns 1 if this is a mount point and sets arg1 to the device +number of the mount and field arg2 to the relevant super block magic +number (described below) or 0 if it isn't a mountpoint. In both cases +the the device number (as returned by new_encode_dev()) is returned +in field arg1. + +If supplied with a file descriptor we're looking for a specific mount, +not necessarily at the top of the mounted stack. In this case the path +the descriptor corresponds to is considered a mountpoint if it is itself +a mountpoint or contains a mount, such as a multi-mount without a root +mount. In this case we return 1 if the descriptor corresponds to a mount +point and and also returns the super magic of the covering mount if there +is one or 0 if it isn't a mountpoint. + +If a path is supplied (and the ioctlfd field is set to -1) then the path +is looked up and is checked to see if it is the root of a mount. If a +type is also given we are looking for a particular autofs mount and if +a match isn't found a fail is returned. If the the located path is the +root of a mount 1 is returned along with the super magic of the mount +or 0 otherwise. + diff --git a/Documentation/filesystems/ext3.txt b/Documentation/filesystems/ext3.txt index b45f3c1b8b4..295f26cd895 100644 --- a/Documentation/filesystems/ext3.txt +++ b/Documentation/filesystems/ext3.txt @@ -193,6 +193,5 @@ kernel source: <file:fs/ext3/> programs: http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ http://ext2resize.sourceforge.net -useful links: http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/ext3/ext3-usage.html - http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-fs7/ +useful links: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-fs7/ http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-fs8/ diff --git a/Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt b/Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt index 0d5394920a3..eb154ef36c2 100644 --- a/Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt +++ b/Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt @@ -32,9 +32,9 @@ Mailing list: linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org you will need to merge your changes with the version from e2fsprogs 1.41.x. - - Create a new filesystem using the ext4dev filesystem type: + - Create a new filesystem using the ext4 filesystem type: - # mke2fs -t ext4dev /dev/hda1 + # mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/hda1 Or configure an existing ext3 filesystem to support extents and set the test_fs flag to indicate that it's ok for an in-development @@ -47,13 +47,13 @@ Mailing list: linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org # tune2fs -I 256 /dev/hda1 - (Note: we currently do not have tools to convert an ext4dev + (Note: we currently do not have tools to convert an ext4 filesystem back to ext3; so please do not do try this on production filesystems.) - Mounting: - # mount -t ext4dev /dev/hda1 /wherever + # mount -t ext4 /dev/hda1 /wherever - When comparing performance with other filesystems, remember that ext3/4 by default offers higher data integrity guarantees than most. @@ -177,6 +177,11 @@ barrier=<0|1(*)> This enables/disables the use of write barriers in your disks are battery-backed in one way or another, disabling barriers may safely improve performance. +inode_readahead=n This tuning parameter controls the maximum + number of inode table blocks that ext4's inode + table readahead algorithm will pre-read into + the buffer cache.

If the kernel doesn't understand some particular +flags, it will return EBADR and the contents of fm_flags will contain +the set of flags which caused the error. If the kernel is compatible +with all flags passed, the contents of fm_flags will be unmodified. +It is up to userspace to determine whether rejection of a particular +flag is fatal to it's operation. This scheme is intended to allow the +fiemap interface to grow in the future but without losing +compatibility with old software. + +fm_extent_count specifies the number of elements in the fm_extents[] array +that can be used to return extents. If fm_extent_count is zero, then the +fm_extents[] array is ignored (no extents will be returned), and the +fm_mapped_extents count will hold the number of extents needed in +fm_extents[] to hold the file's current mapping. Note that there is +nothing to prevent the file from changing between calls to FIEMAP. + +The following flags can be set in fm_flags: + +* FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC +If this flag is set, the kernel will sync the file before mapping extents. + +* FIEMAP_FLAG_XATTR +If this flag is set, the extents returned will describe the inodes +extended attribute lookup tree, instead of it's data tree. + + +Extent Mapping +-------------- + +Extent information is returned within the embedded fm_extents array +which userspace must allocate along with the fiemap structure. The +number of elements in the fiemap_extents[] array should be passed via +fm_extent_count. The number of extents mapped by kernel will be +returned via fm_mapped_extents. If the number of fiemap_extents +allocated is less than would be required to map the requested range, +the maximum number of extents that can be mapped in the fm_extent[] +array will be returned and fm_mapped_extents will be equal to +fm_extent_count. In that case, the last extent in the array will not +complete the requested range and will not have the FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST +flag set (see the next section on extent flags). + +Each extent is described by a single fiemap_extent structure as +returned in fm_extents. + +struct fiemap_extent { + __u64 fe_logical; /* logical offset in bytes for the start of + * the extent */ + __u64 fe_physical; /* physical offset in bytes for the start + * of the extent */ + __u64 fe_length; /* length in bytes for the extent */ + __u64 fe_reserved64[2]; + __u32 fe_flags; /* FIEMAP_EXTENT_* flags for this extent */ + __u32 fe_reserved[3]; +}; + +All offsets and lengths are in bytes and mirror those on disk. It is valid +for an extents logical offset to start before the request or it's logical +length to extend past the request. Unless FIEMAP_EXTENT_NOT_ALIGNED is +returned, fe_logical, fe_physical, and fe_length will be aligned to the +block size of the file system. With the exception of extents flagged as +FIEMAP_EXTENT_MERGED, adjacent extents will not be merged. + +The fe_flags field contains flags which describe the extent returned. +A special flag, FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST is always set on the last extent in +the file so that the process making fiemap calls can determine when no +more extents are available, without having to call the ioctl again. + +Some flags are intentionally vague and will always be set in the +presence of other more specific flags. This way a program looking for +a general property does not have to know all existing and future flags +which imply that property. + +For example, if FIEMAP_EXTENT_DATA_INLINE or FIEMAP_EXTENT_DATA_TAIL +are set, FIEMAP_EXTENT_NOT_ALIGNED will also be set. A program looking +for inline or tail-packed data can key on the specific flag. Software +which simply cares not to try operating on non-aligned extents +however, can just key on FIEMAP_EXTENT_NOT_ALIGNED, and not have to +worry about all present and future flags which might imply unaligned +data. Note that the opposite is not true - it would be valid for +FIEMAP_EXTENT_NOT_ALIGNED to appear alone. + +* FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST +This is the last extent in the file.

The +set of fiemap flags which the fs understands should be passed via fs_flags. If +fiemap_check_flags finds invalid user flags, it will place the bad values in +fieinfo->fi_flags and return -EBADR. If the file system gets -EBADR, from +fiemap_check_flags(), it should immediately exit, returning that error back to +ioctl_fiemap(). + + +For each extent in the request range, the file system should call +the helper function, fiemap_fill_next_extent(): + +int fiemap_fill_next_extent(struct fiemap_extent_info *info, u64 logical, + u64 phys, u64 len, u32 flags, u32 dev); + +fiemap_fill_next_extent() will use the passed values to populate the +next free extent in the fm_extents array. 'General' extent flags will +automatically be set from specific flags on behalf of the calling file +system so that the userspace API is not broken. + +fiemap_fill_next_extent() returns 0 on success, and 1 when the +user-supplied fm_extents array is full.

Contents +----------- + +1. Intro +2. The interface +3. References +4. CREDITS + + +1. Intro +-------- + +ATA/ATAPI-7 specifies the IDLE IMMEDIATE command with unload feature. +Issuing this command should cause the drive to switch to idle mode and +unload disk heads. This feature is being used in modern laptops in +conjunction with accelerometers and appropriate software to implement +a shock protection facility. The idea is to stop all I/O operations on +the internal hard drive and park its heads on the ramp when critical +situations are anticipated. The desire to have such a feature +available on GNU/Linux systems has been the original motivation to +implement a generic disk head parking interface in the Linux kernel. +Please note, however, that other components have to be set up on your +system in order to get disk shock protection working (see +section 3. References below for pointers to more information about +that). + + +2. The interface +---------------- + +For each ATA device, the kernel exports the file +block/*/device/unload_heads in sysfs (here assumed to be mounted under +/sys). Access to /sys/block/*/device/unload_heads is denied with +-EOPNOTSUPP if the device does not support the unload feature. +Otherwise, writing an integer value to this file will take the heads +of the respective drive off the platter and block all I/O operations +for the specified number of milliseconds. When the timeout expires and +no further disk head park request has been issued in the meantime, +normal operation will be resumed. The maximal value accepted for a +timeout is 30000 milliseconds. Exceeding this limit will return +-EOVERFLOW, but heads will be parked anyway and the timeout will be +set to 30 seconds. However, you can always change a timeout to any +value between 0 and 30000 by issuing a subsequent head park request +before the timeout of the previous one has expired. In particular, the +total timeout can exceed 30 seconds and, more importantly, you can +cancel a previously set timeout and resume normal operation +immediately by specifying a timeout of 0. Values below -2 are rejected +with -EINVAL (see below for the special meaning of -1 and -2). If the +timeout specified for a recent head park request has not yet expired, +reading from /sys/block/*/device/unload_heads will report the number +of milliseconds remaining until normal operation will be resumed; +otherwise, reading the unload_heads attribute will return 0. + +For example, do the following in order to park the heads of drive +/dev/sda and stop all I/O operations for five seconds: + +# echo 5000 > /sys/block/sda/device/unload_heads + +A simple + +# cat /sys/block/sda/device/unload_heads + +will show you how many milliseconds are left before normal operation +will be resumed. + +A word of caution: The fact that the interface operates on a basis of +milliseconds may raise expectations that cannot be satisfied in +reality. In fact, the ATA specs clearly state that the time for an +unload operation to complete is vendor specific. The hint in ATA-7 +that this will typically be within 500 milliseconds apparently has +been dropped in ATA-8. + +There is a technical detail of this implementation that may cause some +confusion and should be discussed here. When a head park request has +been issued to a device successfully, all I/O operations on the +controller port this device is attached to will be deferred. That is +to say, any other device that may be connected to the same port will +be affected too. The only exception is that a subsequent head unload +request to that other device will be executed immediately. Further +operations on that port will be deferred until the timeout specified +for either device on the port has expired. As far as PATA (old style +IDE) configurations are concerned, there can only be two devices +attached to any single port. In SATA world we have port multipliers +which means that a user-issued head parking request to one device may +actually result in stopping I/O to a whole bunch of devices. However, +since this feature is supposed to be used on laptops and does not seem +to be very useful in any other environment, there will be mostly one +device per port. Even if the CD/DVD writer happens to be connected to +the same port as the hard drive, it generally *should* recover just +fine from the occasional buffer under-run incurred by a head park +request to the HD. Actually, when you are using an ide driver rather +than its libata counterpart (i.e. your disk is called /dev/hda +instead of /dev/sda), then parking the heads of one drive (drive X) +will generally not affect the mode of operation of another drive +(drive Y) on the same port as described above. It is only when a port +reset is required to recover from an exception on drive Y that further +I/O operations on that drive (and the reset itself) will be delayed +until drive X is no longer in the parked state. + +Finally, there are some hard drives that only comply with an earlier +version of the ATA standard than ATA-7, but do support the unload +feature nonetheless. Unfortunately, there is no safe way Linux can +detect these devices, so you won't be able to write to the +unload_heads attribute. If you know that your device really does +support the unload feature (for instance, because the vendor of your +laptop or the hard drive itself told you so), then you can tell the +kernel to enable the usage of this feature for that drive by writing +the special value -1 to the unload_heads attribute: + +# echo -1 > /sys/block/sda/device/unload_heads + +will enable the feature for /dev/sda, and giving -2 instead of -1 will +disable it again. + + +3. References +------------- + +There are several laptops from different vendors featuring shock +protection capabilities. As manufacturers have refused to support open +source development of the required software components so far, Linux +support for shock protection varies considerably between different +hardware implementations. Ideally, this section should contain a list +of pointers at different projects aiming at an implementation of shock +protection on different systems.

With the Linux Phonet socket family, Linux host processes can +receive and send messages from/to the modem, or any other external +device attached to the modem. The modem takes care of routing. + +Phonet packets can be exchanged through various hardware connections +depending on the device, such as: + - USB with the CDC Phonet interface, + - infrared, + - Bluetooth, + - an RS232 serial port (with a dedicated "FBUS" line discipline), + - the SSI bus with some TI OMAP processors. + + +Packets format +-------------- + +Phonet packets have a common header as follows: + + struct phonethdr { + uint8_t pn_media; /* Media type (link-layer identifier) */ + uint8_t pn_rdev; /* Receiver device ID */ + uint8_t pn_sdev; /* Sender device ID */ + uint8_t pn_res; /* Resource ID or function */ + uint16_t pn_length; /* Big-endian message byte length (minus 6) */ + uint8_t pn_robj; /* Receiver object ID */ + uint8_t pn_sobj; /* Sender object ID */ + }; + +On Linux, the link-layer header includes the pn_media byte (see below). +The next 7 bytes are part of the network-layer header. + +The device ID is split: the 6 higher-order bits consitute the device +address, while the 2 lower-order bits are used for multiplexing, as are +the 8-bit object identifiers. As such, Phonet can be considered as a +network layer with 6 bits of address space and 10 bits for transport +protocol (much like port numbers in IP world). + +The modem always has address number zero. All other device have a their +own 6-bit address. + + +Link layer +---------- + +Phonet links are always point-to-point links. The link layer header +consists of a single Phonet media type byte. It uniquely identifies the +link through which the packet is transmitted, from the modem's +perspective. Each Phonet network device shall prepend and set the media +type byte as appropriate. For convenience, a common phonet_header_ops +link-layer header operations structure is provided. It sets the +media type according to the network device hardware address. + +Linux Phonet network interfaces support a dedicated link layer packets +type (ETH_P_PHONET) which is out of the Ethernet type range. They can +only send and receive Phonet packets. + +The virtual TUN tunnel device driver can also be used for Phonet. This +requires IFF_TUN mode, _without_ the IFF_NO_PI flag. In this case, +there is no link-layer header, so there is no Phonet media type byte. + +Note that Phonet interfaces are not allowed to re-order packets, so +only the (default) Linux FIFO qdisc should be used with them. + + +Network layer +------------- + +The Phonet socket address family maps the Phonet packet header: + + struct sockaddr_pn { + sa_family_t spn_family; /* AF_PHONET */ + uint8_t spn_obj; /* Object ID */ + uint8_t spn_dev; /* Device ID */ + uint8_t spn_resource; /* Resource or function */ + uint8_t spn_zero[...]; /* Padding */ + }; + +The resource field is only used when sending and receiving; +It is ignored by bind() and getsockname(). + + +Low-level datagram protocol +--------------------------- + +Applications can send Phonet messages using the Phonet datagram socket +protocol from the PF_PHONET family. Each socket is bound to one of the +2^10 object IDs available, and can send and receive packets with any +other peer. + + struct sockaddr_pn addr = { .spn_family = AF_PHONET, }; + ssize_t len; + socklen_t addrlen = sizeof(addr); + int fd; + + fd = socket(PF_PHONET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0); + bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr)); + /* ... */ + + sendto(fd, msg, msglen, 0, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr)); + len = recvfrom(fd, buf, sizeof(buf), 0, + (struct sockaddr *)&addr, &addrlen); + +This protocol follows the SOCK_DGRAM connection-less semantics. +However, connect() and getpeername() are not supported, as they did +not seem useful with Phonet usages (could be added easily). + + +Phonet Pipe protocol +-------------------- + +The Phonet Pipe protocol is a simple sequenced packets protocol +with end-to-end congestion control. It uses the passive listening +socket paradigm. The listening socket is bound to an unique free object +ID. Each listening socket can handle up to 255 simultaneous +connections, one per accept()'d socket. + + int lfd, cfd; + + lfd = socket(PF_PHONET, SOCK_SEQPACKET, PN_PROTO_PIPE); + listen (lfd, INT_MAX); + + /* ... */ + cfd = accept(lfd, NULL, NULL); + for (;;) + { + char buf[...]; + ssize_t len = read(cfd, buf, sizeof(buf)); + + /* ... */ + + write(cfd, msg, msglen); + } + +Connections are established between two endpoints by a "third party" +application. This means that both endpoints are passive; so connect() +is not possible. + +WARNING: +When polling a connected pipe socket for writability, there is an +intrinsic race condition whereby writability might be lost between the +polling and the writing system calls. In this case, the socket will +block until write becomes possible again, unless non-blocking mode +is enabled. + + +The pipe protocol provides two socket options at the SOL_PNPIPE level: + + PNPIPE_ENCAP accepts one integer value (int) of: + + PNPIPE_ENCAP_NONE: The socket operates normally (default). + + PNPIPE_ENCAP_IP: The socket is used as a backend for a virtual IP + interface.

More on this to be added +as its integration is added. + +* Drivers + +If drivers determine they need a specific regulatory domain +set they can inform the wireless core using regulatory_hint(). +They have two options -- they either provide an alpha2 so that +crda can provide back a regulatory domain for that country or +they can build their own regulatory domain based on internal +custom knowledge so the wireless core can respect it. + +*Most* drivers will rely on the first mechanism of providing a +regulatory hint with an alpha2. For these drivers there is an additional +check that can be used to ensure compliance based on custom EEPROM +regulatory data. This additional check can be used by drivers by +registering on its struct wiphy a reg_notifier() callback. This notifier +is called when the core's regulatory domain has been changed. The driver +can use this to review the changes made and also review who made them +(driver, user, country IE) and determine what to allow based on its +internal EEPROM data. Devices drivers wishing to be capable of world +roaming should use this callback. More on world roaming will be +added to this document when its support is enabled. + +Device drivers who provide their own built regulatory domain +do not need a callback as the channels registered by them are +the only ones that will be allowed and therefore *additional* +cannels cannot be enabled. + +Example code - drivers hinting an alpha2: +------------------------------------------ + +This example comes from the zd1211rw device driver. You can start +by having a mapping of your device's EEPROM country/regulatory +domain value to to a specific alpha2 as follows: + +static struct zd_reg_alpha2_map reg_alpha2_map[] = { + { ZD_REGDOMAIN_FCC, "US" }, + { ZD_REGDOMAIN_IC, "CA" }, + { ZD_REGDOMAIN_ETSI, "DE" }, /* Generic ETSI, use most restrictive */ + { ZD_REGDOMAIN_JAPAN, "JP" }, + { ZD_REGDOMAIN_JAPAN_ADD, "JP" }, + { ZD_REGDOMAIN_SPAIN, "ES" }, + { ZD_REGDOMAIN_FRANCE, "FR" }, + +Then you can define a routine to map your read EEPROM value to an alpha2, +as follows: + +static int zd_reg2alpha2(u8 regdomain, char *alpha2) +{ + unsigned int i; + struct zd_reg_alpha2_map *reg_map; + for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(reg_alpha2_map); i++) { + reg_map = ®_alpha2_map[i]; + if (regdomain == reg_map->reg) { + alpha2[0] = reg_map->alpha2[0]; + alpha2[1] = reg_map->alpha2[1]; + return 0; + } + } + return 1; +} + +Lastly, you can then hint to the core of your discovered alpha2, if a match +was found. You need to do this after you have registered your wiphy.

In other words, CFS tries to run the task with -the 'gravest need' for more CPU time. So CFS always tries to split up -CPU time between runnable tasks as close to 'ideal multitasking -hardware' as possible. - -Most of the rest of CFS's design just falls out of this really simple -concept, with a few add-on embellishments like nice levels, -multiprocessing and various algorithm variants to recognize sleepers. - -In practice it works like this: the system runs a task a bit, and when -the task schedules (or a scheduler tick happens) the task's CPU usage is -'accounted for': the (small) time it just spent using the physical CPU -is deducted from p->wait_runtime. [minus the 'fair share' it would have -gotten anyway]. Once p->wait_runtime gets low enough so that another -task becomes the 'leftmost task' of the time-ordered rbtree it maintains -(plus a small amount of 'granularity' distance relative to the leftmost -task so that we do not over-schedule tasks and trash the cache) then the -new leftmost task is picked and the current task is preempted. - -The rq->fair_clock value tracks the 'CPU time a runnable task would have -fairly gotten, had it been runnable during that time'.

Kudos Con! - - The CFS patch uses a completely different approach and implementation - from RSDL/SD. My goal was to make CFS's interactivity quality exceed - that of RSDL/SD, which is a high standard to meet :-) Testing - feedback is welcome to decide this one way or another. [ and, in any - case, all of SD's logic could be added via a kernel/sched_sd.c module - as well, if Con is interested in such an approach. ] - - CFS's design is quite radical: it does not use runqueues, it uses a - time-ordered rbtree to build a 'timeline' of future task execution, - and thus has no 'array switch' artifacts (by which both the vanilla - scheduler and RSDL/SD are affected). - - CFS uses nanosecond granularity accounting and does not rely on any - jiffies or other HZ detail. Thus the CFS scheduler has no notion of - 'timeslices' and has no heuristics whatsoever. There is only one - central tunable (you have to switch on CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG): - - /proc/sys/kernel/sched_granularity_ns - - which can be used to tune the scheduler from 'desktop' (low - latencies) to 'server' (good batching) workloads.

OVERVIEW + +CFS stands for "Completely Fair Scheduler," and is the new "desktop" process +scheduler implemented by Ingo Molnar and merged in Linux 2.6.23. It is the +replacement for the previous vanilla scheduler's SCHED_OTHER interactivity +code. + +80% of CFS's design can be summed up in a single sentence: CFS basically models +an "ideal, precise multi-tasking CPU" on real hardware. + +"Ideal multi-tasking CPU" is a (non-existent :-)) CPU that has 100% physical +power and which can run each task at precise equal speed, in parallel, each at +1/nr_running speed. For example: if there are 2 tasks running, then it runs +each at 50% physical power --- i.e., actually in parallel. + +On real hardware, we can run only a single task at once, so we have to +introduce the concept of "virtual runtime." The virtual runtime of a task +specifies when its next timeslice would start execution on the ideal +multi-tasking CPU described above. In practice, the virtual runtime of a task +is its actual runtime normalized to the total number of running tasks. + + + +2. FEW IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS + +In CFS the virtual runtime is expressed and tracked via the per-task +p->se.vruntime (nanosec-unit) value. This way, it's possible to accurately +timestamp and measure the "expected CPU time" a task should have gotten. + +[ small detail: on "ideal" hardware, at any time all tasks would have the same + p->se.vruntime value --- i.e., tasks would execute simultaneously and no task + would ever get "out of balance" from the "ideal" share of CPU time. ] + +CFS's task picking logic is based on this p->se.vruntime value and it is thus +very simple: it always tries to run the task with the smallest p->se.vruntime +value (i.e., the task which executed least so far). CFS always tries to split +up CPU time between runnable tasks as close to "ideal multitasking hardware" as +possible. + +Most of the rest of CFS's design just falls out of this really simple concept, +with a few add-on embellishments like nice levels, multiprocessing and various +algorithm variants to recognize sleepers. + + + +3. THE RBTREE + +CFS's design is quite radical: it does not use the old data structures for the +runqueues, but it uses a time-ordered rbtree to build a "timeline" of future +task execution, and thus has no "array switch" artifacts (by which both the +previous vanilla scheduler and RSDL/SD are affected). + +CFS also maintains the rq->cfs.min_vruntime value, which is a monotonic +increasing value tracking the smallest vruntime among all tasks in the +runqueue. The total amount of work done by the system is tracked using +min_vruntime; that value is used to place newly activated entities on the left +side of the tree as much as possible. + +The total number of running tasks in the runqueue is accounted through the +rq->cfs.load value, which is the sum of the weights of the tasks queued on the +runqueue. + +CFS maintains a time-ordered rbtree, where all runnable tasks are sorted by the +p->se.vruntime key (there is a subtraction using rq->cfs.min_vruntime to +account for possible wraparounds). CFS picks the "leftmost" task from this +tree and sticks to it. +As the system progresses forwards, the executed tasks are put into the tree +more and more to the right --- slowly but surely giving a chance for every task +to become the "leftmost task" and thus get on the CPU within a deterministic +amount of time. + +Summing up, CFS works like this: it runs a task a bit, and when the task +schedules (or a scheduler tick happens) the task's CPU usage is "accounted +for": the (small) time it just spent using the physical CPU is added to +p->se.vruntime. Once p->se.vruntime gets high enough so that another task +becomes the "leftmost task" of the time-ordered rbtree it maintains (plus a +small amount of "granularity" distance relative to the leftmost task so that we +do not over-schedule tasks and trash the cache), then the new leftmost task is +picked and the current task is preempted. + + + +4. SOME FEATURES OF CFS + +CFS uses nanosecond granularity accounting and does not rely on any jiffies or +other HZ detail. Thus the CFS scheduler has no notion of "timeslices" in the +way the previous scheduler had, and has no heuristics whatsoever. There is +only one central tunable (you have to switch on CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG): + + /proc/sys/kernel/sched_granularity_ns + +which can be used to tune the scheduler from "desktop" (i.e., low latencies) to +"server" (i.e., good batching) workloads. It defaults to a setting suitable +for desktop workloads. SCHED_BATCH is handled by the CFS scheduler module too. + +Due to its design, the CFS scheduler is not prone to any of the "attacks" that +exist today against the heuristics of the stock scheduler: fiftyp.c, thud.c, +chew.c, ring-test.c, massive_intr.c all work fine and do not impact +interactivity and produce the expected behavior. + +The CFS scheduler has a much stronger handling of nice levels and SCHED_BATCH +than the previous vanilla scheduler: both types of workloads are isolated much +more aggressively. + +SMP load-balancing has been reworked/sanitized: the runqueue-walking +assumptions are gone from the load-balancing code now, and iterators of the +scheduling modules are used. The balancing code got quite a bit simpler as a +result. + + + +5. Scheduling policies + +CFS implements three scheduling policies: + + - SCHED_NORMAL (traditionally called SCHED_OTHER): The scheduling + policy that is used for regular tasks. + + - SCHED_BATCH: Does not preempt nearly as often as regular tasks + would, thereby allowing tasks to run longer and make better use of + caches but at the cost of interactivity. This is well suited for + batch jobs. + + - SCHED_IDLE: This is even weaker than nice 19, but its not a true + idle timer scheduler in order to avoid to get into priority + inversion problems which would deadlock the machine. + +SCHED_FIFO/_RR are implemented in sched_rt.c and are as specified by +POSIX. + +The command chrt from util-linux-ng 2.13.1.1 can set all of these except +SCHED_IDLE. -Group scheduler tunables: -When CONFIG_FAIR_USER_SCHED is defined, a directory is created in sysfs for -each new user and a "cpu_share" file is added in that directory. + +6. SCHEDULING CLASSES + +The new CFS scheduler has been designed in such a way to introduce "Scheduling +Classes," an extensible hierarchy of scheduler modules. These modules +encapsulate scheduling policy details and are handled by the scheduler core +without the core code assuming too much about them. + +sched_fair.c implements the CFS scheduler described above. + +sched_rt.c implements SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR semantics, in a simpler way than +the previous vanilla scheduler did. It uses 100 runqueues (for all 100 RT +priority levels, instead of 140 in the previous scheduler) and it needs no +expired array. + +Scheduling classes are implemented through the sched_class structure, which +contains hooks to functions that must be called whenever an interesting event +occurs. + +This is the (partial) list of the hooks: + + - enqueue_task(...) + + Called when a task enters a runnable state. + It puts the scheduling entity (task) into the red-black tree and + increments the nr_running variable. + + - dequeue_tree(...) + + When a task is no longer runnable, this function is called to keep the + corresponding scheduling entity out of the red-black tree. It decrements + the nr_running variable. + + - yield_task(...) + + This function is basically just a dequeue followed by an enqueue, unless the + compat_yield sysctl is turned on; in that case, it places the scheduling + entity at the right-most end of the red-black tree. + + - check_preempt_curr(...) + + This function checks if a task that entered the runnable state should + preempt the currently running task. + + - pick_next_task(...) + + This function chooses the most appropriate task eligible to run next. + + - set_curr_task(...) + + This function is called when a task changes its scheduling class or changes + its task group. + + - task_tick(...) + + This function is mostly called from time tick functions; it might lead to + process switch. This drives the running preemption. + + - task_new(...) + + The core scheduler gives the scheduling module an opportunity to manage new + task startup. The CFS scheduling module uses it for group scheduling, while + the scheduling module for a real-time task does not use it. + + + +7.

Sometimes, it may be desirable to group tasks and +provide fair CPU time to each such task group.

Miller (davem@redhat.com) - - The SBUS driver interfaces of the Linux kernel have been -revamped completely for 2.4.x for several reasons. Foremost were -performance and complexity concerns. This document details these -new interfaces and how they are used to write an SBUS device driver. - - SBUS drivers need to include <asm/sbus.h> to get access -to functions and structures described here. - - Probing and Detection - - Each SBUS device inside the machine is described by a -structure called "struct sbus_dev". Likewise, each SBUS bus -found in the system is described by a "struct sbus_bus". For -each SBUS bus, the devices underneath are hung in a tree-like -fashion off of the bus structure. - - The SBUS device structure contains enough information -for you to implement your device probing algorithm and obtain -the bits necessary to run your device. The most commonly -used members of this structure, and their typical usage, -will be detailed below. - - Here is a piece of skeleton code for performing a device -probe in an SBUS driver under Linux: - - static int __devinit mydevice_probe_one(struct sbus_dev *sdev) - { - struct mysdevice *mp = kzalloc(sizeof(*mp), GFP_KERNEL); - - if (!mp) - return -ENODEV; - - ... - dev_set_drvdata(&sdev->ofdev.dev, mp); - return 0; - ... - } - - static int __devinit mydevice_probe(struct of_device *dev, - const struct of_device_id *match) - { - struct sbus_dev *sdev = to_sbus_device(&dev->dev); - - return mydevice_probe_one(sdev); - } - - static int __devexit mydevice_remove(struct of_device *dev) - { - struct sbus_dev *sdev = to_sbus_device(&dev->dev); - struct mydevice *mp = dev_get_drvdata(&dev->dev); - - return mydevice_remove_one(sdev, mp); - } - - static struct of_device_id mydevice_match[] = { - { - .name = "mydevice", - }, - {}, - }; - - MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, mydevice_match); - - static struct of_platform_driver mydevice_driver = { - .match_table = mydevice_match, - .probe = mydevice_probe, - .remove = __devexit_p(mydevice_remove), - .driver = { - .name = "mydevice", - }, - }; - - static int __init mydevice_init(void) - { - return of_register_driver(&mydevice_driver, &sbus_bus_type); - } - - static void __exit mydevice_exit(void) - { - of_unregister_driver(&mydevice_driver); - } - - module_init(mydevice_init); - module_exit(mydevice_exit); - - The mydevice_match table is a series of entries which -describes what SBUS devices your driver is meant for. In the -simplest case you specify a string for the 'name' field. Every -SBUS device with a 'name' property matching your string will -be passed one-by-one to your .probe method. - - You should store away your device private state structure -pointer in the drvdata area so that you can retrieve it later on -in your .remove method. - - Any memory allocated, registers mapped, IRQs registered, -etc. must be undone by your .remove method so that all resources -of your device are released by the time it returns. - - You should _NOT_ use the for_each_sbus(), for_each_sbusdev(), -and for_all_sbusdev() interfaces. They are deprecated, will be -removed, and no new driver should reference them ever. - - Mapping and Accessing I/O Registers - - Each SBUS device structure contains an array of descriptors -which describe each register set. We abuse struct resource for that. -They each correspond to the "reg" properties provided by the OBP firmware. - - Before you can access your device's registers you must map -them. And later if you wish to shutdown your driver (for module -unload or similar) you must unmap them. You must treat them as -a resource, which you allocate (map) before using and free up -(unmap) when you are done with it. - - The mapping information is stored in an opaque value -typed as an "unsigned long". This is the type of the return value -of the mapping interface, and the arguments to the unmapping -interface. Let's say you want to map the first set of registers. -Perhaps part of your driver software state structure looks like: - - struct mydevice { - unsigned long control_regs; - ... - struct sbus_dev *sdev; - ... - }; - - At initialization time you then use the sbus_ioremap -interface to map in your registers, like so: - - static void init_one_mydevice(struct sbus_dev *sdev) - { - struct mydevice *mp; - ... - - mp->control_regs = sbus_ioremap(&sdev->resource[0], 0, - CONTROL_REGS_SIZE, "mydevice regs"); - if (!mp->control_regs) { - /* Failure, cleanup and return. */ - } - } - - Second argument to sbus_ioremap is an offset for -cranky devices with broken OBP PROM. The sbus_ioremap uses only -a start address and flags from the resource structure. -Therefore it is possible to use the same resource to map -several sets of registers or even to fabricate a resource -structure if driver gets physical address from some private place. -This practice is discouraged though. Use whatever OBP PROM -provided to you. - - And here is how you might unmap these registers later at -driver shutdown or module unload time, using the sbus_iounmap -interface: - - static void mydevice_unmap_regs(struct mydevice *mp) - { - sbus_iounmap(mp->control_regs, CONTROL_REGS_SIZE); - } - - Finally, to actually access your registers there are 6 -interface routines at your disposal. Accesses are byte (8 bit), -word (16 bit), or longword (32 bit) sized. Here they are: - - u8 sbus_readb(unsigned long reg) /* read byte */ - u16 sbus_readw(unsigned long reg) /* read word */ - u32 sbus_readl(unsigned long reg) /* read longword */ - void sbus_writeb(u8 value, unsigned long reg) /* write byte */ - void sbus_writew(u16 value, unsigned long reg) /* write word */ - void sbus_writel(u32 value, unsigned long reg) /* write longword */ - - So, let's say your device has a control register of some sort -at offset zero. The following might implement resetting your device: - - #define CONTROL 0x00UL - - #define CONTROL_RESET 0x00000001 /* Reset hardware */ - - static void mydevice_reset(struct mydevice *mp) - { - sbus_writel(CONTROL_RESET, mp->regs + CONTROL); - } - - Or perhaps there is a data port register at an offset of -16 bytes which allows you to read bytes from a fifo in the device: - - #define DATA 0x10UL - - static u8 mydevice_get_byte(struct mydevice *mp) - { - return sbus_readb(mp->regs + DATA); - } - - It's pretty straightforward, and clueful readers may have -noticed that these interfaces mimick the PCI interfaces of the -Linux kernel. This was not by accident. - - WARNING: - - DO NOT try to treat these opaque register mapping - values as a memory mapped pointer to some structure - which you can dereference. - - It may be memory mapped, it may not be. In fact it - could be a physical address, or it could be the time - of day xor'd with 0xdeadbeef. :-) - - Whatever it is, it's an implementation detail. The - interface was done this way to shield the driver - author from such complexities. - - Doing DVMA - - SBUS devices can perform DMA transactions in a way similar -to PCI but dissimilar to ISA, e.g. DMA masters supply address. -In contrast to PCI, however, that address (a bus address) is -translated by IOMMU before a memory access is performed and therefore -it is virtual. Sun calls this procedure DVMA. - - Linux supports two styles of using SBUS DVMA: "consistent memory" -and "streaming DVMA". CPU view of consistent memory chunk is, well, -consistent with a view of a device. Think of it as an uncached memory. -Typically this way of doing DVMA is not very fast and drivers use it -mostly for control blocks or queues. On some CPUs we cannot flush or -invalidate individual pages or cache lines and doing explicit flushing -over ever little byte in every control block would be wasteful. - -Streaming DVMA is a preferred way to transfer large amounts of data. -This process works in the following way: -1. a CPU stops accessing a certain part of memory, - flushes its caches covering that memory; -2. a device does DVMA accesses, then posts an interrupt; -3. CPU invalidates its caches and starts to access the memory. - -A single streaming DVMA operation can touch several discontiguous -regions of a virtual bus address space. This is called a scatter-gather -DVMA. - -[TBD: Why do not we neither Solaris attempt to map disjoint pages -into a single virtual chunk with the help of IOMMU, so that non SG -DVMA masters would do SG? It'd be very helpful for RAID.] - - In order to perform a consistent DVMA a driver does something -like the following: - - char *mem; /* Address in the CPU space */ - u32 busa; /* Address in the SBus space */ - - mem = (char *) sbus_alloc_consistent(sdev, MYMEMSIZE, &busa); - - Then mem is used when CPU accesses this memory and u32 -is fed to the device so that it can do DVMA. This is typically -done with an sbus_writel() into some device register. - - Do not forget to free the DVMA resources once you are done: - - sbus_free_consistent(sdev, MYMEMSIZE, mem, busa); - - Streaming DVMA is more interesting. First you allocate some -memory suitable for it or pin down some user pages. Then it all works -like this: - - char *mem = argumen1; - unsigned int size = argument2; - u32 busa; /* Address in the SBus space */ - - *mem = 1; /* CPU can access */ - busa = sbus_map_single(sdev, mem, size); - if (busa == 0) ....... - - /* Tell the device to use busa here */ - /* CPU cannot access the memory without sbus_dma_sync_single() */ - - sbus_unmap_single(sdev, busa, size); - if (*mem == 0) .... /* CPU can access again */ - - It is possible to retain mappings and ask the device to -access data again and again without calling sbus_unmap_single. -However, CPU caches must be invalidated with sbus_dma_sync_single -before such access. - -[TBD but what about writeback caches here... do we have any?] - - There is an equivalent set of functions doing the same thing -only with several memory segments at once for devices capable of -scatter-gather transfers. Use the Source, Luke. - - Examples - - drivers/net/sunhme.c - This is a complicated driver which illustrates many concepts -discussed above and plus it handles both PCI and SBUS boards. - - drivers/scsi/esp.c - Check it out for scatter-gather DVMA. - - drivers/sbus/char/bpp.c - A non-DVMA device. - - drivers/net/sunlance.c - Lance driver abuses consistent mappings for data transfer. -It is a nifty trick which we do not particularly recommend... -Just check it out and know that it's legal. diff --git a/Documentation/spi/pxa2xx b/Documentation/spi/pxa2xx index bbe8dee681a..6bb916d57c9 100644 --- a/Documentation/spi/pxa2xx +++ b/Documentation/spi/pxa2xx @@ -96,7 +96,7 @@ Each slave device attached to the PXA must provide slave specific configuration information via the structure "pxa2xx_spi_chip" found in "arch/arm/mach-pxa/include/mach/pxa2xx_spi.h".

camera / camera device / camera sensor - a video-camera sensor chip, capable + of connecting to a variety of systems and interfaces, typically uses i2c for + control and configuration, and a parallel or a serial bus for data. + - camera host - an interface, to which a camera is connected. Typically a + specialised interface, present on many SoCs, e.g., PXA27x and PXA3xx, SuperH, + AVR32, i.MX27, i.MX31. + - camera host bus - a connection between a camera host and a camera. Can be + parallel or serial, consists of data and control lines, e.g., clock, vertical + and horizontal synchronization signals. + +Purpose of the soc-camera subsystem +----------------------------------- + +The soc-camera subsystem provides a unified API between camera host drivers and +camera sensor drivers. It implements a V4L2 interface to the user, currently +only the mmap method is supported. + +This subsystem has been written to connect drivers for System-on-Chip (SoC) +video capture interfaces with drivers for CMOS camera sensor chips to enable +the reuse of sensor drivers with various hosts. The subsystem has been designed +to support multiple camera host interfaces and multiple cameras per interface, +although most applications have only one camera sensor. + +Existing drivers +---------------- + +As of 2.6.27-rc4 there are two host drivers in the mainline: pxa_camera.c for +PXA27x SoCs and sh_mobile_ceu_camera.c for SuperH SoCs, and four sensor drivers: +mt9m001.c, mt9m111.c, mt9v022.c and a generic soc_camera_platform.c driver. This +list is not supposed to be updated, look for more examples in your tree. + +Camera host API +--------------- + +A host camera driver is registered using the + +soc_camera_host_register(struct soc_camera_host *); + +function. The host object can be initialized as follows: + +static struct soc_camera_host pxa_soc_camera_host = { + .drv_name = PXA_CAM_DRV_NAME, + .ops = &pxa_soc_camera_host_ops, +}; + +All camera host methods are passed in a struct soc_camera_host_ops: + +static struct soc_camera_host_ops pxa_soc_camera_host_ops = { + .owner = THIS_MODULE, + .add = pxa_camera_add_device, + .remove = pxa_camera_remove_device, + .suspend = pxa_camera_suspend, + .resume = pxa_camera_resume, + .set_fmt_cap = pxa_camera_set_fmt_cap, + .try_fmt_cap = pxa_camera_try_fmt_cap, + .init_videobuf = pxa_camera_init_videobuf, + .reqbufs = pxa_camera_reqbufs, + .poll = pxa_camera_poll, + .querycap = pxa_camera_querycap, + .try_bus_param = pxa_camera_try_bus_param, + .set_bus_param = pxa_camera_set_bus_param, +}; + +.add and .remove methods are called when a sensor is attached to or detached +from the host, apart from performing host-internal tasks they shall also call +sensor driver's .init and .release methods respectively. .suspend and .resume +methods implement host's power-management functionality and its their +responsibility to call respective sensor's methods. .try_bus_param and +.set_bus_param are used to negotiate physical connection parameters between the +host and the sensor. .init_videobuf is called by soc-camera core when a +video-device is opened, further video-buffer management is implemented completely +by the specific camera host driver. The rest of the methods are called from +respective V4L2 operations. + +Camera API +---------- + +Sensor drivers can use struct soc_camera_link, typically provided by the +platform, and used to specify to which camera host bus the sensor is connected, +and arbitrarily provide platform .power and .reset methods for the camera. +soc_camera_device_register() and soc_camera_device_unregister() functions are +used to add a sensor driver to or remove one from the system. The registration +function takes a pointer to struct soc_camera_device as the only parameter. +This struct can be initialized as follows: + + /* link to driver operations */ + icd->ops = &mt9m001_ops; + /* link to the underlying physical (e.g., i2c) device */ + icd->control = &client->dev; + /* window geometry */ + icd->x_min = 20; + icd->y_min = 12; + icd->x_current = 20; + icd->y_current = 12; + icd->width_min = 48; + icd->width_max = 1280; + icd->height_min = 32; + icd->height_max = 1024; + icd->y_skip_top = 1; + /* camera bus ID, typically obtained from platform data */ + icd->iface = icl->bus_id; + +struct soc_camera_ops provides .probe and .remove methods, which are called by +the soc-camera core, when a camera is matched against or removed from a camera +host bus, .init, .release, .suspend, and .resume are called from the camera host +driver as discussed above.
