In this process CFQ will not +dispatch requests from other cfq queues even if requests are pending there. + +The rationale behind idling is that it can cut down on number of seeks +on rotational media. For example, if a process is doing dependent +sequential reads (next read will come on only after completion of previous +one), then not dispatching request from other queue should help as we +did not move the disk head and kept on dispatching sequential IO from +one queue. + +CFQ has following service trees and various queues are put on these trees. + + sync-idle sync-noidle async + +All cfq queues doing synchronous sequential IO go on to sync-idle tree. +On this tree we idle on each queue individually. + +All synchronous non-sequential queues go on sync-noidle tree. Also any +request which are marked with REQ_NOIDLE go on this service tree. On this +tree we do not idle on individual queues instead idle on the whole group +of queues or the tree. So if there are 4 queues waiting for IO to dispatch +we will idle only once last queue has dispatched the IO and there is +no more IO on this service tree. + +All async writes go on async service tree. There is no idling on async +queues. + +CFQ has some optimizations for SSDs and if it detects a non-rotational +media which can support higher queue depth (multiple requests at in +flight at a time), then it cuts down on idling of individual queues and +all the queues move to sync-noidle tree and only tree idle remains. This +tree idling provides isolation with buffered write queues on async tree. + +FAQ +=== +Q1. Why to idle at all on queues marked with REQ_NOIDLE. + +A1. We only do tree idle (all queues on sync-noidle tree) on queues marked + with REQ_NOIDLE. This helps in providing isolation with all the sync-idle + queues. Otherwise in presence of many sequential readers, other + synchronous IO might not get fair share of disk. + + For example, if there are 10 sequential readers doing IO and they get + 100ms each. If a REQ_NOIDLE request comes in, it will be scheduled + roughly after 1 second. If after completion of REQ_NOIDLE request we + do not idle, and after a couple of milli seconds a another REQ_NOIDLE + request comes in, again it will be scheduled after 1second. Repeat it + and notice how a workload can lose its disk share and suffer due to + multiple sequential readers. + + fsync can generate dependent IO where bunch of data is written in the + context of fsync, and later some journaling data is written. Journaling + data comes in only after fsync has finished its IO (atleast for ext4 + that seemed to be the case). Now if one decides not to idle on fsync + thread due to REQ_NOIDLE, then next journaling write will not get + scheduled for another second. A process doing small fsync, will suffer + badly in presence of multiple sequential readers. + + Hence doing tree idling on threads using REQ_NOIDLE flag on requests + provides isolation from multiple sequential readers and at the same + time we do not idle on individual threads. + +Q2. When to specify REQ_NOIDLE +A2. I would think whenever one is doing synchronous write and not expecting + more writes to be dispatched from same context soon, should be able + to specify REQ_NOIDLE on writes and that probably should work well for + most of the cases. diff --git a/Documentation/bus-virt-phys-mapping.txt b/Documentation/bus-virt-phys-mapping.txt index 1b5aa10df84..2bc55ff3b4d 100644 --- a/Documentation/bus-virt-phys-mapping.txt +++ b/Documentation/bus-virt-phys-mapping.txt @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ [ NOTE: The virt_to_bus() and bus_to_virt() functions have been superseded by the functionality provided by the PCI DMA interface - (see Documentation/PCI/PCI-DMA-mapping.txt).

The +protocol is implemented over the industry-standard SMBus serial interface and +enables programming, control, and real-time monitoring of compliant power +conversion products. This flexible and highly versatile standard allows for +communication between devices based on both analog and digital technologies, and +provides true interoperability which will reduce design complexity and shorten +time to market for power system designers. Pioneered by leading power supply and +semiconductor companies, this open power system standard is maintained and +promoted by the PMBus Implementers Forum (PMBus-IF), comprising 30+ adopters +with the objective to provide support to, and facilitate adoption among, users. + +Unfortunately, while PMBus commands are standardized, there are no mandatory +commands, and manufacturers can add as many non-standard commands as they like. +Also, different PMBUs devices act differently if non-supported commands are +executed. Some devices return an error, some devices return 0xff or 0xffff and +set a status error flag, and some devices may simply hang up. + +Despite all those difficulties, a generic PMBus device driver is still useful +and supported since kernel version 2.6.39. However, it was necessary to support +device specific extensions in addition to the core PMBus driver, since it is +simply unknown what new device specific functionality PMBus device developers +come up with next. + +To make device specific extensions as scalable as possible, and to avoid having +to modify the core PMBus driver repeatedly for new devices, the PMBus driver was +split into core, generic, and device specific code. The core code (in +pmbus_core.c) provides generic functionality. The generic code (in pmbus.c) +provides support for generic PMBus devices. Device specific code is responsible +for device specific initialization and, if needed, maps device specific +functionality into generic functionality. This is to some degree comparable +to PCI code, where generic code is augmented as needed with quirks for all kinds +of devices. + +PMBus device capabilities auto-detection +======================================== + +For generic PMBus devices, code in pmbus.c attempts to auto-detect all supported +PMBus commands. Auto-detection is somewhat limited, since there are simply too +many variables to consider. For example, it is almost impossible to autodetect +which PMBus commands are paged and which commands are replicated across all +pages (see the PMBus specification for details on multi-page PMBus devices). + +For this reason, it often makes sense to provide a device specific driver if not +all commands can be auto-detected. The data structures in this driver can be +used to inform the core driver about functionality supported by individual +chips. + +Some commands are always auto-detected. This applies to all limit commands +(lcrit, min, max, and crit attributes) as well as associated alarm attributes. +Limits and alarm attributes are auto-detected because there are simply too many +possible combinations to provide a manual configuration interface. + +PMBus internal API +================== + +The API between core and device specific PMBus code is defined in +drivers/hwmon/pmbus/pmbus.h. In addition to the internal API, pmbus.h defines +standard PMBus commands and virtual PMBus commands. + +Standard PMBus commands +----------------------- + +Standard PMBus commands (commands values 0x00 to 0xff) are defined in the PMBUs +specification. + +Virtual PMBus commands +---------------------- + +Virtual PMBus commands are provided to enable support for non-standard +functionality which has been implemented by several chip vendors and is thus +desirable to support. + +Virtual PMBus commands start with command value 0x100 and can thus easily be +distinguished from standard PMBus commands (which can not have values larger +than 0xff). Support for virtual PMBus commands is device specific and thus has +to be implemented in device specific code. + +Virtual commands are named PMBUS_VIRT_xxx and start with PMBUS_VIRT_BASE. All +virtual commands are word sized. + +There are currently two types of virtual commands. + +- READ commands are read-only; writes are either ignored or return an error. +- RESET commands are read/write. Reading reset registers returns zero + (used for detection), writing any value causes the associated history to be + reset. + +Virtual commands have to be handled in device specific driver code. Chip driver +code returns non-negative values if a virtual command is supported, or a +negative error code if not. The chip driver may return -ENODATA or any other +Linux error code in this case, though an error code other than -ENODATA is +handled more efficiently and thus preferred. Either case, the calling PMBus +core code will abort if the chip driver returns an error code when reading +or writing virtual registers (in other words, the PMBus core code will never +send a virtual command to a chip). + +PMBus driver information +------------------------ + +PMBus driver information, defined in struct pmbus_driver_info, is the main means +for device specific drivers to pass information to the core PMBus driver. +Specifically, it provides the following information. + +- For devices supporting its data in Direct Data Format, it provides coefficients + for converting register values into normalized data. This data is usually + provided by chip manufacturers in device datasheets. +- Supported chip functionality can be provided to the core driver. This may be + necessary for chips which react badly if non-supported commands are executed, + and/or to speed up device detection and initialization. +- Several function entry points are provided to support overriding and/or + augmenting generic command execution. This functionality can be used to map + non-standard PMBus commands to standard commands, or to augment standard + command return values with device specific information. + + API functions + ------------- + + Functions provided by chip driver + --------------------------------- + + All functions return the command return value (read) or zero (write) if + successful. A return value of -ENODATA indicates that there is no manufacturer + specific command, but that a standard PMBus command may exist.

The chips supported by +this driver interpret any access to those command registers (including read +commands) as request to execute the command in question. Unless write accesses +to those registers are protected, this may result in power loss, board resets, +and/or Flash corruption.

On reception, a NIC can send different packets to different +queues to distribute processing among CPUs. The NIC distributes packets by +applying a filter to each packet that assigns it to one of a small number +of logical flows. Packets for each flow are steered to a separate receive +queue, which in turn can be processed by separate CPUs. This mechanism is +generally known as “Receive-side Scaling” (RSS). The goal of RSS and +the other scaling techniques is to increase performance uniformly. +Multi-queue distribution can also be used for traffic prioritization, but +that is not the focus of these techniques. + +The filter used in RSS is typically a hash function over the network +and/or transport layer headers-- for example, a 4-tuple hash over +IP addresses and TCP ports of a packet. The most common hardware +implementation of RSS uses a 128-entry indirection table where each entry +stores a queue number. The receive queue for a packet is determined +by masking out the low order seven bits of the computed hash for the +packet (usually a Toeplitz hash), taking this number as a key into the +indirection table and reading the corresponding value. + +Some advanced NICs allow steering packets to queues based on +programmable filters. For example, webserver bound TCP port 80 packets +can be directed to their own receive queue. Such “n-tuple” filters can +be configured from ethtool (--config-ntuple). + +==== RSS Configuration + +The driver for a multi-queue capable NIC typically provides a kernel +module parameter for specifying the number of hardware queues to +configure. In the bnx2x driver, for instance, this parameter is called +num_queues. A typical RSS configuration would be to have one receive queue +for each CPU if the device supports enough queues, or otherwise at least +one for each memory domain, where a memory domain is a set of CPUs that +share a particular memory level (L1, L2, NUMA node, etc.). + +The indirection table of an RSS device, which resolves a queue by masked +hash, is usually programmed by the driver at initialization. The +default mapping is to distribute the queues evenly in the table, but the +indirection table can be retrieved and modified at runtime using ethtool +commands (--show-rxfh-indir and --set-rxfh-indir). Modifying the +indirection table could be done to give different queues different +relative weights. + +== RSS IRQ Configuration + +Each receive queue has a separate IRQ associated with it. The NIC triggers +this to notify a CPU when new packets arrive on the given queue. The +signaling path for PCIe devices uses message signaled interrupts (MSI-X), +that can route each interrupt to a particular CPU. The active mapping +of queues to IRQs can be determined from /proc/interrupts. By default, +an IRQ may be handled on any CPU. Because a non-negligible part of packet +processing takes place in receive interrupt handling, it is advantageous +to spread receive interrupts between CPUs. To manually adjust the IRQ +affinity of each interrupt see Documentation/IRQ-affinity.txt. Some systems +will be running irqbalance, a daemon that dynamically optimizes IRQ +assignments and as a result may override any manual settings. + +== Suggested Configuration + +RSS should be enabled when latency is a concern or whenever receive +interrupt processing forms a bottleneck. Spreading load between CPUs +decreases queue length. For low latency networking, the optimal setting +is to allocate as many queues as there are CPUs in the system (or the +NIC maximum, if lower). The most efficient high-rate configuration +is likely the one with the smallest number of receive queues where no +receive queue overflows due to a saturated CPU, because in default +mode with interrupt coalescing enabled, the aggregate number of +interrupts (and thus work) grows with each additional queue. + +Per-cpu load can be observed using the mpstat utility, but note that on +processors with hyperthreading (HT), each hyperthread is represented as +a separate CPU. For interrupt handling, HT has shown no benefit in +initial tests, so limit the number of queues to the number of CPU cores +in the system. + + +RPS: Receive Packet Steering +============================ + +Receive Packet Steering (RPS) is logically a software implementation of +RSS. Being in software, it is necessarily called later in the datapath. +Whereas RSS selects the queue and hence CPU that will run the hardware +interrupt handler, RPS selects the CPU to perform protocol processing +above the interrupt handler. This is accomplished by placing the packet +on the desired CPU’s backlog queue and waking up the CPU for processing. +RPS has some advantages over RSS: 1) it can be used with any NIC, +2) software filters can easily be added to hash over new protocols, +3) it does not increase hardware device interrupt rate (although it does +introduce inter-processor interrupts (IPIs)). + +RPS is called during bottom half of the receive interrupt handler, when +a driver sends a packet up the network stack with netif_rx() or +netif_receive_skb(). These call the get_rps_cpu() function, which +selects the queue that should process a packet. + +The first step in determining the target CPU for RPS is to calculate a +flow hash over the packet’s addresses or ports (2-tuple or 4-tuple hash +depending on the protocol). This serves as a consistent hash of the +associated flow of the packet. The hash is either provided by hardware +or will be computed in the stack. Capable hardware can pass the hash in +the receive descriptor for the packet; this would usually be the same +hash used for RSS (e.g. computed Toeplitz hash). The hash is saved in +skb->rx_hash and can be used elsewhere in the stack as a hash of the +packet’s flow. + +Each receive hardware queue has an associated list of CPUs to which +RPS may enqueue packets for processing. For each received packet, +an index into the list is computed from the flow hash modulo the size +of the list. The indexed CPU is the target for processing the packet, +and the packet is queued to the tail of that CPU’s backlog queue. At +the end of the bottom half routine, IPIs are sent to any CPUs for which +packets have been queued to their backlog queue. The IPI wakes backlog +processing on the remote CPU, and any queued packets are then processed +up the networking stack. + +==== RPS Configuration + +RPS requires a kernel compiled with the CONFIG_RPS kconfig symbol (on +by default for SMP). Even when compiled in, RPS remains disabled until +explicitly configured. The list of CPUs to which RPS may forward traffic +can be configured for each receive queue using a sysfs file entry: + + /sys/class/net/<dev>/queues/rx-<n>/rps_cpus + +This file implements a bitmap of CPUs. RPS is disabled when it is zero +(the default), in which case packets are processed on the interrupting +CPU. Documentation/IRQ-affinity.txt explains how CPUs are assigned to +the bitmap. + +== Suggested Configuration + +For a single queue device, a typical RPS configuration would be to set +the rps_cpus to the CPUs in the same memory domain of the interrupting +CPU. If NUMA locality is not an issue, this could also be all CPUs in +the system. At high interrupt rate, it might be wise to exclude the +interrupting CPU from the map since that already performs much work. + +For a multi-queue system, if RSS is configured so that a hardware +receive queue is mapped to each CPU, then RPS is probably redundant +and unnecessary. If there are fewer hardware queues than CPUs, then +RPS might be beneficial if the rps_cpus for each queue are the ones that +share the same memory domain as the interrupting CPU for that queue. + + +RFS: Receive Flow Steering +========================== + +While RPS steers packets solely based on hash, and thus generally +provides good load distribution, it does not take into account +application locality. This is accomplished by Receive Flow Steering +(RFS). The goal of RFS is to increase datacache hitrate by steering +kernel processing of packets to the CPU where the application thread +consuming the packet is running. RFS relies on the same RPS mechanisms +to enqueue packets onto the backlog of another CPU and to wake up that +CPU. + +In RFS, packets are not forwarded directly by the value of their hash, +but the hash is used as index into a flow lookup table. This table maps +flows to the CPUs where those flows are being processed. The flow hash +(see RPS section above) is used to calculate the index into this table. +The CPU recorded in each entry is the one which last processed the flow. +If an entry does not hold a valid CPU, then packets mapped to that entry +are steered using plain RPS. Multiple table entries may point to the +same CPU. Indeed, with many flows and few CPUs, it is very likely that +a single application thread handles flows with many different flow hashes. + +rps_sock_flow_table is a global flow table that contains the *desired* CPU +for flows: the CPU that is currently processing the flow in userspace. +Each table value is a CPU index that is updated during calls to recvmsg +and sendmsg (specifically, inet_recvmsg(), inet_sendmsg(), inet_sendpage() +and tcp_splice_read()). + +When the scheduler moves a thread to a new CPU while it has outstanding +receive packets on the old CPU, packets may arrive out of order. To +avoid this, RFS uses a second flow table to track outstanding packets +for each flow: rps_dev_flow_table is a table specific to each hardware +receive queue of each device. Each table value stores a CPU index and a +counter. The CPU index represents the *current* CPU onto which packets +for this flow are enqueued for further kernel processing. Ideally, kernel +and userspace processing occur on the same CPU, and hence the CPU index +in both tables is identical. This is likely false if the scheduler has +recently migrated a userspace thread while the kernel still has packets +enqueued for kernel processing on the old CPU. + +The counter in rps_dev_flow_table values records the length of the current +CPU's backlog when a packet in this flow was last enqueued. Each backlog +queue has a head counter that is incremented on dequeue. A tail counter +is computed as head counter + queue length. In other words, the counter +in rps_dev_flow_table[i] records the last element in flow i that has +been enqueued onto the currently designated CPU for flow i (of course, +entry i is actually selected by hash and multiple flows may hash to the +same entry i). + +And now the trick for avoiding out of order packets: when selecting the +CPU for packet processing (from get_rps_cpu()) the rps_sock_flow table +and the rps_dev_flow table of the queue that the packet was received on +are compared. If the desired CPU for the flow (found in the +rps_sock_flow table) matches the current CPU (found in the rps_dev_flow +table), the packet is enqueued onto that CPU’s backlog. If they differ, +the current CPU is updated to match the desired CPU if one of the +following is true: + +- The current CPU's queue head counter >= the recorded tail counter + value in rps_dev_flow[i] +- The current CPU is unset (equal to NR_CPUS) +- The current CPU is offline + +After this check, the packet is sent to the (possibly updated) current +CPU. These rules aim to ensure that a flow only moves to a new CPU when +there are no packets outstanding on the old CPU, as the outstanding +packets could arrive later than those about to be processed on the new +CPU. + +==== RFS Configuration + +RFS is only available if the kconfig symbol CONFIG_RFS is enabled (on +by default for SMP). The functionality remains disabled until explicitly +configured. The number of entries in the global flow table is set through: + + /proc/sys/net/core/rps_sock_flow_entries + +The number of entries in the per-queue flow table are set through: + + /sys/class/net/<dev>/queues/rx-<n>/rps_flow_cnt + +== Suggested Configuration + +Both of these need to be set before RFS is enabled for a receive queue. +Values for both are rounded up to the nearest power of two. The +suggested flow count depends on the expected number of active connections +at any given time, which may be significantly less than the number of open +connections. We have found that a value of 32768 for rps_sock_flow_entries +works fairly well on a moderately loaded server. + +For a single queue device, the rps_flow_cnt value for the single queue +would normally be configured to the same value as rps_sock_flow_entries. +For a multi-queue device, the rps_flow_cnt for each queue might be +configured as rps_sock_flow_entries / N, where N is the number of +queues. So for instance, if rps_flow_entries is set to 32768 and there +are 16 configured receive queues, rps_flow_cnt for each queue might be +configured as 2048. + + +Accelerated RFS +=============== + +Accelerated RFS is to RFS what RSS is to RPS: a hardware-accelerated load +balancing mechanism that uses soft state to steer flows based on where +the application thread consuming the packets of each flow is running. +Accelerated RFS should perform better than RFS since packets are sent +directly to a CPU local to the thread consuming the data. The target CPU +will either be the same CPU where the application runs, or at least a CPU +which is local to the application thread’s CPU in the cache hierarchy. + +To enable accelerated RFS, the networking stack calls the +ndo_rx_flow_steer driver function to communicate the desired hardware +queue for packets matching a particular flow. The network stack +automatically calls this function every time a flow entry in +rps_dev_flow_table is updated. The driver in turn uses a device specific +method to program the NIC to steer the packets. + +The hardware queue for a flow is derived from the CPU recorded in +rps_dev_flow_table. The stack consults a CPU to hardware queue map which +is maintained by the NIC driver. This is an auto-generated reverse map of +the IRQ affinity table shown by /proc/interrupts. Drivers can use +functions in the cpu_rmap (“CPU affinity reverse map”) kernel library +to populate the map. For each CPU, the corresponding queue in the map is +set to be one whose processing CPU is closest in cache locality. + +==== Accelerated RFS Configuration + +Accelerated RFS is only available if the kernel is compiled with +CONFIG_RFS_ACCEL and support is provided by the NIC device and driver. +It also requires that ntuple filtering is enabled via ethtool. The map +of CPU to queues is automatically deduced from the IRQ affinities +configured for each receive queue by the driver, so no additional +configuration should be necessary. + +== Suggested Configuration + +This technique should be enabled whenever one wants to use RFS and the +NIC supports hardware acceleration. + +XPS: Transmit Packet Steering +============================= + +Transmit Packet Steering is a mechanism for intelligently selecting +which transmit queue to use when transmitting a packet on a multi-queue +device. To accomplish this, a mapping from CPU to hardware queue(s) is +recorded. The goal of this mapping is usually to assign queues +exclusively to a subset of CPUs, where the transmit completions for +these queues are processed on a CPU within this set. This choice +provides two benefits. First, contention on the device queue lock is +significantly reduced since fewer CPUs contend for the same queue +(contention can be eliminated completely if each CPU has its own +transmit queue). Secondly, cache miss rate on transmit completion is +reduced, in particular for data cache lines that hold the sk_buff +structures. + +XPS is configured per transmit queue by setting a bitmap of CPUs that +may use that queue to transmit. The reverse mapping, from CPUs to +transmit queues, is computed and maintained for each network device. +When transmitting the first packet in a flow, the function +get_xps_queue() is called to select a queue. This function uses the ID +of the running CPU as a key into the CPU-to-queue lookup table. If the +ID matches a single queue, that is used for transmission. If multiple +queues match, one is selected by using the flow hash to compute an index +into the set. + +The queue chosen for transmitting a particular flow is saved in the +corresponding socket structure for the flow (e.g. a TCP connection). +This transmit queue is used for subsequent packets sent on the flow to +prevent out of order (ooo) packets. The choice also amortizes the cost +of calling get_xps_queues() over all packets in the flow. To avoid +ooo packets, the queue for a flow can subsequently only be changed if +skb->ooo_okay is set for a packet in the flow. This flag indicates that +there are no outstanding packets in the flow, so the transmit queue can +change without the risk of generating out of order packets. The +transport layer is responsible for setting ooo_okay appropriately. TCP, +for instance, sets the flag when all data for a connection has been +acknowledged. + +==== XPS Configuration + +XPS is only available if the kconfig symbol CONFIG_XPS is enabled (on by +default for SMP). The functionality remains disabled until explicitly +configured. To enable XPS, the bitmap of CPUs that may use a transmit +queue is configured using the sysfs file entry: + +/sys/class/net/<dev>/queues/tx-<n>/xps_cpus + +== Suggested Configuration + +For a network device with a single transmission queue, XPS configuration +has no effect, since there is no choice in this case. In a multi-queue +system, XPS is preferably configured so that each CPU maps onto one queue. +If there are as many queues as there are CPUs in the system, then each +queue can also map onto one CPU, resulting in exclusive pairings that +experience no contention. If there are fewer queues than CPUs, then the +best CPUs to share a given queue are probably those that share the cache +with the CPU that processes transmit completions for that queue +(transmit interrupts). + + +Further Information +=================== +RPS and RFS were introduced in kernel 2.6.35.

As you can see I enumerated +the pins from 0 in the upper left corner to 63 in the lower right corner, +this enumeration was arbitrarily chosen, in practice you need to think +through your numbering system so that it matches the layout of registers +and such things in your driver, or the code may become complicated. You must +also consider matching of offsets to the GPIO ranges that may be handled by +the pin controller. + +For a padring with 467 pads, as opposed to actual pins, I used an enumeration +like this, walking around the edge of the chip, which seems to be industry +standard too (all these pads had names, too): + + + 0 ..... 104 + 466 105 + . . + . . + 358 224 + 357 .... 225 + + +Pin groups +========== + +Many controllers need to deal with groups of pins, so the pin controller +subsystem has a mechanism for enumerating groups of pins and retrieving the +actual enumerated pins that are part of a certain group. + +For example, say that we have a group of pins dealing with an SPI interface +on { 0, 8, 16, 24 }, and a group of pins dealing with an I2C interface on pins +on { 24, 25 }. + +These two groups are presented to the pin control subsystem by implementing +some generic pinctrl_ops like this: + +#include <linux/pinctrl/pinctrl.h> + +struct foo_group { + const char *name; + const unsigned int *pins; + const unsigned num_pins; +}; + +static unsigned int spi0_pins[] = { 0, 8, 16, 24 }; +static unsigned int i2c0_pins[] = { 24, 25 }; + +static const struct foo_group foo_groups[] = { + { + .name = "spi0_grp", + .pins = spi0_pins, + .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(spi0_pins), + }, + { + .name = "i2c0_grp", + .pins = i2c0_pins, + .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(i2c0_pins), + }, +}; + + +static int foo_list_groups(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector) +{ + if (selector >= ARRAY_SIZE(foo_groups)) + return -EINVAL; + return 0; +} + +static const char *foo_get_group_name(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, + unsigned selector) +{ + return foo_groups[selector].name; +} + +static int foo_get_group_pins(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector, + unsigned ** const pins, + unsigned * const num_pins) +{ + *pins = (unsigned *) foo_groups[selector].pins; + *num_pins = foo_groups[selector].num_pins; + return 0; +} + +static struct pinctrl_ops foo_pctrl_ops = { + .list_groups = foo_list_groups, + .get_group_name = foo_get_group_name, + .get_group_pins = foo_get_group_pins, +}; + + +static struct pinctrl_desc foo_desc = { + ... + .pctlops = &foo_pctrl_ops, +}; + +The pin control subsystem will call the .list_groups() function repeatedly +beginning on 0 until it returns non-zero to determine legal selectors, then +it will call the other functions to retrieve the name and pins of the group. +Maintaining the data structure of the groups is up to the driver, this is +just a simple example - in practice you may need more entries in your group +structure, for example specific register ranges associated with each group +and so on. + + +Interaction with the GPIO subsystem +=================================== + +The GPIO drivers may want to perform operations of various types on the same +physical pins that are also registered as pin controller pins. + +Since the pin controller subsystem have its pinspace local to the pin +controller we need a mapping so that the pin control subsystem can figure out +which pin controller handles control of a certain GPIO pin. Since a single +pin controller may be muxing several GPIO ranges (typically SoCs that have +one set of pins but internally several GPIO silicon blocks, each modeled as +a struct gpio_chip) any number of GPIO ranges can be added to a pin controller +instance like this: + +struct gpio_chip chip_a; +struct gpio_chip chip_b; + +static struct pinctrl_gpio_range gpio_range_a = { + .name = "chip a", + .id = 0, + .base = 32, + .npins = 16, + .gc = &chip_a; +}; + +static struct pinctrl_gpio_range gpio_range_a = { + .name = "chip b", + .id = 0, + .base = 48, + .npins = 8, + .gc = &chip_b; +}; + + +{ + struct pinctrl_dev *pctl; + ... + pinctrl_add_gpio_range(pctl, &gpio_range_a); + pinctrl_add_gpio_range(pctl, &gpio_range_b); +} + +So this complex system has one pin controller handling two different +GPIO chips. Chip a has 16 pins and chip b has 8 pins. They are mapped in +the global GPIO pin space at: + +chip a: [32 .. 47] +chip b: [48 .. 55] + +When GPIO-specific functions in the pin control subsystem are called, these +ranges will be used to look up the apropriate pin controller by inspecting +and matching the pin to the pin ranges across all controllers. When a +pin controller handling the matching range is found, GPIO-specific functions +will be called on that specific pin controller. + +For all functionalities dealing with pin biasing, pin muxing etc, the pin +controller subsystem will subtract the range's .base offset from the passed +in gpio pin number, and pass that on to the pin control driver, so the driver +will get an offset into its handled number range. Further it is also passed +the range ID value, so that the pin controller knows which range it should +deal with. + +For example: if a user issues pinctrl_gpio_set_foo(50), the pin control +subsystem will find that the second range on this pin controller matches, +subtract the base 48 and call the +pinctrl_driver_gpio_set_foo(pinctrl, range, 2) where the latter function has +this signature: + +int pinctrl_driver_gpio_set_foo(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, + struct pinctrl_gpio_range *rangeid, + unsigned offset); + +Now the driver knows that we want to do some GPIO-specific operation on the +second GPIO range handled by "chip b", at offset 2 in that specific range. + +(If the GPIO subsystem is ever refactored to use a local per-GPIO controller +pin space, this mapping will need to be augmented accordingly.) + + +PINMUX interfaces +================= + +These calls use the pinmux_* naming prefix. No other calls should use that +prefix. + + +What is pinmuxing? +================== + +PINMUX, also known as padmux, ballmux, alternate functions or mission modes +is a way for chip vendors producing some kind of electrical packages to use +a certain physical pin (ball, pad, finger, etc) for multiple mutually exclusive +functions, depending on the application. By "application" in this context +we usually mean a way of soldering or wiring the package into an electronic +system, even though the framework makes it possible to also change the function +at runtime. + +Here is an example of a PGA (Pin Grid Array) chip seen from underneath: + + A B C D E F G H + +---+ + 8 | o | o o o o o o o + | | + 7 | o | o o o o o o o + | | + 6 | o | o o o o o o o + +---+---+ + 5 | o | o | o o o o o o + +---+---+ +---+ + 4 o o o o o o | o | o + | | + 3 o o o o o o | o | o + | | + 2 o o o o o o | o | o + +-------+-------+-------+---+---+ + 1 | o o | o o | o o | o | o | + +-------+-------+-------+---+---+ + +This is not tetris. The game to think of is chess. Not all PGA/BGA packages +are chessboard-like, big ones have "holes" in some arrangement according to +different design patterns, but we're using this as a simple example. Of the +pins you see some will be taken by things like a few VCC and GND to feed power +to the chip, and quite a few will be taken by large ports like an external +memory interface. The remaining pins will often be subject to pin multiplexing. + +The example 8x8 PGA package above will have pin numbers 0 thru 63 assigned to +its physical pins. It will name the pins { A1, A2, A3 ... H6, H7, H8 } using +pinctrl_register_pins() and a suitable data set as shown earlier. + +In this 8x8 BGA package the pins { A8, A7, A6, A5 } can be used as an SPI port +(these are four pins: CLK, RXD, TXD, FRM). In that case, pin B5 can be used as +some general-purpose GPIO pin. However, in another setting, pins { A5, B5 } can +be used as an I2C port (these are just two pins: SCL, SDA). Needless to say, +we cannot use the SPI port and I2C port at the same time. However in the inside +of the package the silicon performing the SPI logic can alternatively be routed +out on pins { G4, G3, G2, G1 }. + +On the botton row at { A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, F1, G1, H1 } we have something +special - it's an external MMC bus that can be 2, 4 or 8 bits wide, and it will +consume 2, 4 or 8 pins respectively, so either { A1, B1 } are taken or +{ A1, B1, C1, D1 } or all of them. If we use all 8 bits, we cannot use the SPI +port on pins { G4, G3, G2, G1 } of course. + +This way the silicon blocks present inside the chip can be multiplexed "muxed" +out on different pin ranges. Often contemporary SoC (systems on chip) will +contain several I2C, SPI, SDIO/MMC, etc silicon blocks that can be routed to +different pins by pinmux settings. + +Since general-purpose I/O pins (GPIO) are typically always in shortage, it is +common to be able to use almost any pin as a GPIO pin if it is not currently +in use by some other I/O port. + + +Pinmux conventions +================== + +The purpose of the pinmux functionality in the pin controller subsystem is to +abstract and provide pinmux settings to the devices you choose to instantiate +in your machine configuration. It is inspired by the clk, GPIO and regulator +subsystems, so devices will request their mux setting, but it's also possible +to request a single pin for e.g. GPIO. + +Definitions: + +- FUNCTIONS can be switched in and out by a driver residing with the pin + control subsystem in the drivers/pinctrl/* directory of the kernel. The + pin control driver knows the possible functions. In the example above you can + identify three pinmux functions, one for spi, one for i2c and one for mmc. + +- FUNCTIONS are assumed to be enumerable from zero in a one-dimensional array. + In this case the array could be something like: { spi0, i2c0, mmc0 } + for the three available functions. + +- FUNCTIONS have PIN GROUPS as defined on the generic level - so a certain + function is *always* associated with a certain set of pin groups, could + be just a single one, but could also be many. In the example above the + function i2c is associated with the pins { A5, B5 }, enumerated as + { 24, 25 } in the controller pin space. + + The Function spi is associated with pin groups { A8, A7, A6, A5 } + and { G4, G3, G2, G1 }, which are enumerated as { 0, 8, 16, 24 } and + { 38, 46, 54, 62 } respectively. + + Group names must be unique per pin controller, no two groups on the same + controller may have the same name. + +- The combination of a FUNCTION and a PIN GROUP determine a certain function + for a certain set of pins. The knowledge of the functions and pin groups + and their machine-specific particulars are kept inside the pinmux driver, + from the outside only the enumerators are known, and the driver core can: + + - Request the name of a function with a certain selector (>= 0) + - A list of groups associated with a certain function + - Request that a certain group in that list to be activated for a certain + function + + As already described above, pin groups are in turn self-descriptive, so + the core will retrieve the actual pin range in a certain group from the + driver. + +- FUNCTIONS and GROUPS on a certain PIN CONTROLLER are MAPPED to a certain + device by the board file, device tree or similar machine setup configuration + mechanism, similar to how regulators are connected to devices, usually by + name. Defining a pin controller, function and group thus uniquely identify + the set of pins to be used by a certain device. (If only one possible group + of pins is available for the function, no group name need to be supplied - + the core will simply select the first and only group available.) + + In the example case we can define that this particular machine shall + use device spi0 with pinmux function fspi0 group gspi0 and i2c0 on function + fi2c0 group gi2c0, on the primary pin controller, we get mappings + like these: + + { + {"map-spi0", spi0, pinctrl0, fspi0, gspi0}, + {"map-i2c0", i2c0, pinctrl0, fi2c0, gi2c0} + } + + Every map must be assigned a symbolic name, pin controller and function. + The group is not compulsory - if it is omitted the first group presented by + the driver as applicable for the function will be selected, which is + useful for simple cases. + + The device name is present in map entries tied to specific devices. Maps + without device names are referred to as SYSTEM pinmuxes, such as can be taken + by the machine implementation on boot and not tied to any specific device. + + It is possible to map several groups to the same combination of device, + pin controller and function. This is for cases where a certain function on + a certain pin controller may use different sets of pins in different + configurations. + +- PINS for a certain FUNCTION using a certain PIN GROUP on a certain + PIN CONTROLLER are provided on a first-come first-serve basis, so if some + other device mux setting or GPIO pin request has already taken your physical + pin, you will be denied the use of it. To get (activate) a new setting, the + old one has to be put (deactivated) first. + +Sometimes the documentation and hardware registers will be oriented around +pads (or "fingers") rather than pins - these are the soldering surfaces on the +silicon inside the package, and may or may not match the actual number of +pins/balls underneath the capsule. Pick some enumeration that makes sense to +you. Define enumerators only for the pins you can control if that makes sense. + +Assumptions: + +We assume that the number possible function maps to pin groups is limited by +the hardware. I.e. we assume that there is no system where any function can be +mapped to any pin, like in a phone exchange. So the available pins groups for +a certain function will be limited to a few choices (say up to eight or so), +not hundreds or any amount of choices. This is the characteristic we have found +by inspecting available pinmux hardware, and a necessary assumption since we +expect pinmux drivers to present *all* possible function vs pin group mappings +to the subsystem. + + +Pinmux drivers +============== + +The pinmux core takes care of preventing conflicts on pins and calling +the pin controller driver to execute different settings. + +It is the responsibility of the pinmux driver to impose further restrictions +(say for example infer electronic limitations due to load etc) to determine +whether or not the requested function can actually be allowed, and in case it +is possible to perform the requested mux setting, poke the hardware so that +this happens. + +Pinmux drivers are required to supply a few callback functions, some are +optional. Usually the enable() and disable() functions are implemented, +writing values into some certain registers to activate a certain mux setting +for a certain pin. + +A simple driver for the above example will work by setting bits 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 +into some register named MUX to select a certain function with a certain +group of pins would work something like this: + +#include <linux/pinctrl/pinctrl.h> +#include <linux/pinctrl/pinmux.h> + +struct foo_group { + const char *name; + const unsigned int *pins; + const unsigned num_pins; +}; + +static const unsigned spi0_0_pins[] = { 0, 8, 16, 24 }; +static const unsigned spi0_1_pins[] = { 38, 46, 54, 62 }; +static const unsigned i2c0_pins[] = { 24, 25 }; +static const unsigned mmc0_1_pins[] = { 56, 57 }; +static const unsigned mmc0_2_pins[] = { 58, 59 }; +static const unsigned mmc0_3_pins[] = { 60, 61, 62, 63 }; + +static const struct foo_group foo_groups[] = { + { + .name = "spi0_0_grp", + .pins = spi0_0_pins, + .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(spi0_0_pins), + }, + { + .name = "spi0_1_grp", + .pins = spi0_1_pins, + .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(spi0_1_pins), + }, + { + .name = "i2c0_grp", + .pins = i2c0_pins, + .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(i2c0_pins), + }, + { + .name = "mmc0_1_grp", + .pins = mmc0_1_pins, + .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(mmc0_1_pins), + }, + { + .name = "mmc0_2_grp", + .pins = mmc0_2_pins, + .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(mmc0_2_pins), + }, + { + .name = "mmc0_3_grp", + .pins = mmc0_3_pins, + .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(mmc0_3_pins), + }, +}; + + +static int foo_list_groups(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector) +{ + if (selector >= ARRAY_SIZE(foo_groups)) + return -EINVAL; + return 0; +} + +static const char *foo_get_group_name(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, + unsigned selector) +{ + return foo_groups[selector].name; +} + +static int foo_get_group_pins(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector, + unsigned ** const pins, + unsigned * const num_pins) +{ + *pins = (unsigned *) foo_groups[selector].pins; + *num_pins = foo_groups[selector].num_pins; + return 0; +} + +static struct pinctrl_ops foo_pctrl_ops = { + .list_groups = foo_list_groups, + .get_group_name = foo_get_group_name, + .get_group_pins = foo_get_group_pins, +}; + +struct foo_pmx_func { + const char *name; + const char * const *groups; + const unsigned num_groups; +}; + +static const char * const spi0_groups[] = { "spi0_1_grp" }; +static const char * const i2c0_groups[] = { "i2c0_grp" }; +static const char * const mmc0_groups[] = { "mmc0_1_grp", "mmc0_2_grp", + "mmc0_3_grp" }; + +static const struct foo_pmx_func foo_functions[] = { + { + .name = "spi0", + .groups = spi0_groups, + .num_groups = ARRAY_SIZE(spi0_groups), + }, + { + .name = "i2c0", + .groups = i2c0_groups, + .num_groups = ARRAY_SIZE(i2c0_groups), + }, + { + .name = "mmc0", + .groups = mmc0_groups, + .num_groups = ARRAY_SIZE(mmc0_groups), + }, +}; + +int foo_list_funcs(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector) +{ + if (selector >= ARRAY_SIZE(foo_functions)) + return -EINVAL; + return 0; +} + +const char *foo_get_fname(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector) +{ + return myfuncs[selector].name; +} + +static int foo_get_groups(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector, + const char * const **groups, + unsigned * const num_groups) +{ + *groups = foo_functions[selector].groups; + *num_groups = foo_functions[selector].num_groups; + return 0; +} + +int foo_enable(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector, + unsigned group) +{ + u8 regbit = (1 << group); + + writeb((readb(MUX)|regbit), MUX) + return 0; +} + +int foo_disable(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector, + unsigned group) +{ + u8 regbit = (1 << group); + + writeb((readb(MUX) & ~(regbit)), MUX) + return 0; +} + +struct pinmux_ops foo_pmxops = { + .list_functions = foo_list_funcs, + .get_function_name = foo_get_fname, + .get_function_groups = foo_get_groups, + .enable = foo_enable, + .disable = foo_disable, +}; + +/* Pinmux operations are handled by some pin controller */ +static struct pinctrl_desc foo_desc = { + ... + .pctlops = &foo_pctrl_ops, + .pmxops = &foo_pmxops, +}; + +In the example activating muxing 0 and 1 at the same time setting bits +0 and 1, uses one pin in common so they would collide. + +The beauty of the pinmux subsystem is that since it keeps track of all +pins and who is using them, it will already have denied an impossible +request like that, so the driver does not need to worry about such +things - when it gets a selector passed in, the pinmux subsystem makes +sure no other device or GPIO assignment is already using the selected +pins. Thus bits 0 and 1 in the control register will never be set at the +same time. + +All the above functions are mandatory to implement for a pinmux driver. + + +Pinmux interaction with the GPIO subsystem +========================================== + +The function list could become long, especially if you can convert every +individual pin into a GPIO pin independent of any other pins, and then try +the approach to define every pin as a function. + +In this case, the function array would become 64 entries for each GPIO +setting and then the device functions. + +For this reason there is an additional function a pinmux driver can implement +to enable only GPIO on an individual pin: .gpio_request_enable(). The same +.free() function as for other functions is assumed to be usable also for +GPIO pins. + +This function will pass in the affected GPIO range identified by the pin +controller core, so you know which GPIO pins are being affected by the request +operation. + +Alternatively it is fully allowed to use named functions for each GPIO +pin, the pinmux_request_gpio() will attempt to obtain the function "gpioN" +where "N" is the global GPIO pin number if no special GPIO-handler is +registered. + + +Pinmux board/machine configuration +================================== + +Boards and machines define how a certain complete running system is put +together, including how GPIOs and devices are muxed, how regulators are +constrained and how the clock tree looks. Of course pinmux settings are also +part of this. + +A pinmux config for a machine looks pretty much like a simple regulator +configuration, so for the example array above we want to enable i2c and +spi on the second function mapping: + +#include <linux/pinctrl/machine.h> + +static struct pinmux_map pmx_mapping[] = { + { + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "spi0", + .dev_name = "foo-spi.0", + }, + { + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "i2c0", + .dev_name = "foo-i2c.0", + }, + { + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "mmc0", + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", + }, +}; + +The dev_name here matches to the unique device name that can be used to look +up the device struct (just like with clockdev or regulators). The function name +must match a function provided by the pinmux driver handling this pin range. + +As you can see we may have several pin controllers on the system and thus +we need to specify which one of them that contain the functions we wish +to map. The map can also use struct device * directly, so there is no +inherent need to use strings to specify .dev_name or .ctrl_dev_name, these +are for the situation where you do not have a handle to the struct device *, +for example if they are not yet instantiated or cumbersome to obtain. + +You register this pinmux mapping to the pinmux subsystem by simply: + + ret = pinmux_register_mappings(&pmx_mapping, ARRAY_SIZE(pmx_mapping)); + +Since the above construct is pretty common there is a helper macro to make +it even more compact which assumes you want to use pinctrl.0 and position +0 for mapping, for example: + +static struct pinmux_map pmx_mapping[] = { + PINMUX_MAP_PRIMARY("I2CMAP", "i2c0", "foo-i2c.0"), +}; + + +Complex mappings +================ + +As it is possible to map a function to different groups of pins an optional +.group can be specified like this: + +... +{ + .name = "spi0-pos-A", + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "spi0", + .group = "spi0_0_grp", + .dev_name = "foo-spi.0", +}, +{ + .name = "spi0-pos-B", + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "spi0", + .group = "spi0_1_grp", + .dev_name = "foo-spi.0", +}, +... + +This example mapping is used to switch between two positions for spi0 at +runtime, as described further below under the heading "Runtime pinmuxing". + +Further it is possible to match several groups of pins to the same function +for a single device, say for example in the mmc0 example above, where you can +additively expand the mmc0 bus from 2 to 4 to 8 pins. If we want to use all +three groups for a total of 2+2+4 = 8 pins (for an 8-bit MMC bus as is the +case), we define a mapping like this: + +... +{ + .name "2bit" + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "mmc0", + .group = "mmc0_0_grp", + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", +}, +{ + .name "4bit" + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "mmc0", + .group = "mmc0_0_grp", + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", +}, +{ + .name "4bit" + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "mmc0", + .group = "mmc0_1_grp", + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", +}, +{ + .name "8bit" + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "mmc0", + .group = "mmc0_0_grp", + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", +}, +{ + .name "8bit" + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "mmc0", + .group = "mmc0_1_grp", + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", +}, +{ + .name "8bit" + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "mmc0", + .group = "mmc0_2_grp", + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", +}, +... + +The result of grabbing this mapping from the device with something like +this (see next paragraph): + + pmx = pinmux_get(&device, "8bit"); + +Will be that you activate all the three bottom records in the mapping at +once. Since they share the same name, pin controller device, funcion and +device, and since we allow multiple groups to match to a single device, they +all get selected, and they all get enabled and disable simultaneously by the +pinmux core. + + +Pinmux requests from drivers +============================ + +Generally it is discouraged to let individual drivers get and enable pinmuxes. +So if possible, handle the pinmuxes in platform code or some other place where +you have access to all the affected struct device * pointers.

What are the issues involved in CPU hotplug? + ------------------------------------------- + +There are some interesting situations involving CPU hotplug and microcode +update on the CPUs, as discussed below: + +[Please bear in mind that the kernel requests the microcode images from +userspace, using the request_firmware() function defined in +drivers/base/firmware_class.c] + + +a. When all the CPUs are identical: + + This is the most common situation and it is quite straightforward: we want + to apply the same microcode revision to each of the CPUs. + To give an example of x86, the collect_cpu_info() function defined in + arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c helps in discovering the type of the CPU + and thereby in applying the correct microcode revision to it. + But note that the kernel does not maintain a common microcode image for the + all CPUs, in order to handle case 'b' described below. + + +b. When some of the CPUs are different than the rest: + + In this case since we probably need to apply different microcode revisions + to different CPUs, the kernel maintains a copy of the correct microcode + image for each CPU (after appropriate CPU type/model discovery using + functions such as collect_cpu_info()). + + +c. When a CPU is physically hot-unplugged and a new (and possibly different + type of) CPU is hot-plugged into the system: + + In the current design of the kernel, whenever a CPU is taken offline during + a regular CPU hotplug operation, upon receiving the CPU_DEAD notification + (which is sent by the CPU hotplug code), the microcode update driver's + callback for that event reacts by freeing the kernel's copy of the + microcode image for that CPU. + + Hence, when a new CPU is brought online, since the kernel finds that it + doesn't have the microcode image, it does the CPU type/model discovery + afresh and then requests the userspace for the appropriate microcode image + for that CPU, which is subsequently applied. + + For example, in x86, the mc_cpu_callback() function (which is the microcode + update driver's callback registered for CPU hotplug events) calls + microcode_update_cpu() which would call microcode_init_cpu() in this case, + instead of microcode_resume_cpu() when it finds that the kernel doesn't + have a valid microcode image. This ensures that the CPU type/model + discovery is performed and the right microcode is applied to the CPU after + getting it from userspace. + + +d. Handling microcode update during suspend/hibernate: + + Strictly speaking, during a CPU hotplug operation which does not involve + physically removing or inserting CPUs, the CPUs are not actually powered + off during a CPU offline. They are just put to the lowest C-states possible. + Hence, in such a case, it is not really necessary to re-apply microcode + when the CPUs are brought back online, since they wouldn't have lost the + image during the CPU offline operation. + + This is the usual scenario encountered during a resume after a suspend. + However, in the case of hibernation, since all the CPUs are completely + powered off, during restore it becomes necessary to apply the microcode + images to all the CPUs. + + [Note that we don't expect someone to physically pull out nodes and insert + nodes with a different type of CPUs in-between a suspend-resume or a + hibernate/restore cycle.] + + In the current design of the kernel however, during a CPU offline operation + as part of the suspend/hibernate cycle (the CPU_DEAD_FROZEN notification), + the existing copy of microcode image in the kernel is not freed up. + And during the CPU online operations (during resume/restore), since the + kernel finds that it already has copies of the microcode images for all the + CPUs, it just applies them to the CPUs, avoiding any re-discovery of CPU + type/model and the need for validating whether the microcode revisions are + right for the CPUs or not (due to the above assumption that physical CPU + hotplug will not be done in-between suspend/resume or hibernate/restore + cycles). + + +III. Are there any known problems when regular CPU hotplug and suspend race + with each other? + +Yes, they are listed below: + +1. When invoking regular CPU hotplug, the 'tasks_frozen' argument passed to + the _cpu_down() and _cpu_up() functions is *always* 0. + This might not reflect the true current state of the system, since the + tasks could have been frozen by an out-of-band event such as a suspend + operation in progress. Hence, it will lead to wrong notifications being + sent during the cpu online/offline events (eg, CPU_ONLINE notification + instead of CPU_ONLINE_FROZEN) which in turn will lead to execution of + inappropriate code by the callbacks registered for such CPU hotplug events. + +2. If a regular CPU hotplug stress test happens to race with the freezer due + to a suspend operation in progress at the same time, then we could hit the + situation described below: + + * A regular cpu online operation continues its journey from userspace + into the kernel, since the freezing has not yet begun. + * Then freezer gets to work and freezes userspace. + * If cpu online has not yet completed the microcode update stuff by now, + it will now start waiting on the frozen userspace in the + TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state, in order to get the microcode image. + * Now the freezer continues and tries to freeze the remaining tasks. But + due to this wait mentioned above, the freezer won't be able to freeze + the cpu online hotplug task and hence freezing of tasks fails. + + As a result of this task freezing failure, the suspend operation gets + aborted. diff --git a/Documentation/power/userland-swsusp.txt b/Documentation/power/userland-swsusp.txt index 1101bee4e82..0e870825c1b 100644 --- a/Documentation/power/userland-swsusp.txt +++ b/Documentation/power/userland-swsusp.txt @@ -77,7 +77,8 @@ SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_AREA - set the resume partition and the offset (in <PAGE_SIZE> resume_swap_area, as defined in kernel/power/suspend_ioctls.h, containing the resume device specification and the offset); for swap partitions the offset is always 0, but it is different from zero for - swap files (see Documentation/swsusp-and-swap-files.txt for details). + swap files (see Documentation/power/swsusp-and-swap-files.txt for + details).

Within +each given "period" (microseconds), a group is allowed to consume only up to +"quota" microseconds of CPU time.

By contrast, the GNU General Public +License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free +software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This +General Public License applies to most of the Free Software +Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to +using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by +the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to +your programs, too. + + When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not +price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you +have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for +this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it +if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it +in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. + + To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid +anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. +These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you +distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. + + For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether +gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that +you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the +source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their +rights. + + We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and +(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, +distribute and/or modify the software. + + Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain +that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free +software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we +want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so +that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original +authors' reputations. + + Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software +patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free +program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the +program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any +patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. + + The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and +modification follow. + + GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE + TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION + + 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains +a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed +under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, +refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" +means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: +that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, +either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another +language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in +the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". + +Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not +covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of +running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program +is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the +Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). +Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. + + 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's +source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you +conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate +copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the +notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; +and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License +along with the Program. + +You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and +you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. + + 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion +of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and +distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 +above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: + + a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices + stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. + + b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in + whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any + part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third + parties under the terms of this License. + + c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively + when run, you must cause it, when started running for such + interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an + announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a + notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide + a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under + these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this + License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but + does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on + the Program is not required to print an announcement.) + +These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If +identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, +and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in +themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those +sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you +distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based +on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of +this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the +entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. + +Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest +your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to +exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or +collective works based on the Program. + +In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program +with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of +a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under +the scope of this License. + + 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, +under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of +Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: + + a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable + source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections + 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, + + b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three + years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your + cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete + machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be + distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium + customarily used for software interchange; or, + + c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer + to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is + allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you + received the program in object code or executable form with such + an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) + +The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for +making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source +code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any +associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to +control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a +special exception, the source code distributed need not include +anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary +form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the +operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component +itself accompanies the executable. + +If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering +access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent +access to copy the source code from the same place counts as +distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not +compelled to copy the source along with the object code. + + 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program +except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt +otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is +void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. +However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under +this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such +parties remain in full compliance. + + 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not +signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or +distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are +prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by +modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the +Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and +all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying +the Program or works based on it. + + 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the +Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the +original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to +these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further +restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. +You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to +this License. + + 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent +infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), +conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or +otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not +excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot +distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this +License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you +may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent +license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by +all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then +the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to +refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. + +If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under +any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to +apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other +circumstances. + +It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any +patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any +such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the +integrity of the free software distribution system, which is +implemented by public license practices. Many people have made +generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed +through that system in reliance on consistent application of that +system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing +to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot +impose that choice. + +This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to +be a consequence of the rest of this License. + + 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in +certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the +original copyright holder who places the Program under this License +may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding +those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among +countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates +the limitation as if written in the body of this License. + + 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions +of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will +be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to +address new problems or concerns. + +Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program +specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any +later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions +either of that version or of any later version published by the Free +Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of +this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software +Foundation. + + 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free +programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author +to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free +Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes +make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals +of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and +of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. + + NO WARRANTY + + 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY +FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN +OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES +PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED +OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF +MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS +TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE +PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, +REPAIR OR CORRECTION. + + 12.

These are devices +are found in virtual environments[LaTeX Command: nomenclature], +yet by design they are not all that different from physical PCI +devices, and this document treats them as such. This allows the +guest to use standard PCI drivers and discovery mechanisms. + +The purpose of virtio and this specification is that virtual +environments and guests should have a straightforward, efficient, +standard and extensible mechanism for virtual devices, rather +than boutique per-environment or per-OS mechanisms. + + Straightforward: Virtio PCI devices use normal PCI mechanisms + of interrupts and DMA which should be familiar to any device + driver author. There is no exotic page-flipping or COW + mechanism: it's just a PCI device.[footnote: +This lack of page-sharing implies that the implementation of the +device (e.g. the hypervisor or host) needs full access to the +guest memory. Communication with untrusted parties (i.e. +inter-guest communication) requires copying. +] + + Efficient: Virtio PCI devices consist of rings of descriptors + for input and output, which are neatly separated to avoid cache + effects from both guest and device writing to the same cache + lines. + + Standard: Virtio PCI makes no assumptions about the environment + in which it operates, beyond supporting PCI. In fact the virtio + devices specified in the appendices do not require PCI at all: + they have been implemented on non-PCI buses.[footnote: +The Linux implementation further separates the PCI virtio code +from the specific virtio drivers: these drivers are shared with +the non-PCI implementations (currently lguest and S/390). +] + + Extensible: Virtio PCI devices contain feature bits which are + acknowledged by the guest operating system during device setup. + This allows forwards and backwards compatibility: the device + offers all the features it knows about, and the driver + acknowledges those it understands and wishes to use. + + Virtqueues + +The mechanism for bulk data transport on virtio PCI devices is +pretentiously called a virtqueue. Each device can have zero or +more virtqueues: for example, the network device has one for +transmit and one for receive. + +Each virtqueue occupies two or more physically-contiguous pages +(defined, for the purposes of this specification, as 4096 bytes), +and consists of three parts: + + ++-------------------+-----------------------------------+-----------+ +| Descriptor Table | Available Ring (padding) | Used Ring | ++-------------------+-----------------------------------+-----------+ + + +When the driver wants to send buffers to the device, it puts them +in one or more slots in the descriptor table, and writes the +descriptor indices into the available ring. It then notifies the +device. When the device has finished with the buffers, it writes +the descriptors into the used ring, and sends an interrupt. + +Specification + + PCI Discovery + +Any PCI device with Vendor ID 0x1AF4, and Device ID 0x1000 +through 0x103F inclusive is a virtio device[footnote: +The actual value within this range is ignored +]. The device must also have a Revision ID of 0 to match this +specification. + +The Subsystem Device ID indicates which virtio device is +supported by the device. The Subsystem Vendor ID should reflect +the PCI Vendor ID of the environment (it's currently only used +for informational purposes by the guest). + + ++----------------------+--------------------+---------------+ +| Subsystem Device ID | Virtio Device | Specification | ++----------------------+--------------------+---------------+ ++----------------------+--------------------+---------------+ +| 1 | network card | Appendix C | ++----------------------+--------------------+---------------+ +| 2 | block device | Appendix D | ++----------------------+--------------------+---------------+ +| 3 | console | Appendix E | ++----------------------+--------------------+---------------+ +| 4 | entropy source | Appendix F | ++----------------------+--------------------+---------------+ +| 5 | memory ballooning | Appendix G | ++----------------------+--------------------+---------------+ +| 6 | ioMemory | - | ++----------------------+--------------------+---------------+ +| 9 | 9P transport | - | ++----------------------+--------------------+---------------+ + + + Device Configuration + +To configure the device, we use the first I/O region of the PCI +device. This contains a virtio header followed by a +device-specific region. + +There may be different widths of accesses to the I/O region; the “ +natural” access method for each field in the virtio header must +be used (i.e. 32-bit accesses for 32-bit fields, etc), but the +device-specific region can be accessed using any width accesses, +and should obtain the same results. + +Note that this is possible because while the virtio header is PCI +(i.e. little) endian, the device-specific region is encoded in +the native endian of the guest (where such distinction is +applicable). + + Device Initialization Sequence + +We start with an overview of device initialization, then expand +on the details of the device and how each step is preformed. + + Reset the device.

This provides a simple low-level diagnostic: it's most +useful to imagine them hooked up to traffic lights on the console +indicating the status of each device. + +The device can be reset by writing a 0 to this field, otherwise +at least one bit should be set: + + ACKNOWLEDGE (1) Indicates that the guest OS has found the + device and recognized it as a valid virtio device. + + DRIVER (2) Indicates that the guest OS knows how to drive the + device. Under Linux, drivers can be loadable modules so there + may be a significant (or infinite) delay before setting this + bit. + + DRIVER_OK (3) Indicates that the driver is set up and ready to + drive the device. + + FAILED (8) Indicates that something went wrong in the guest, + and it has given up on the device. This could be an internal + error, or the driver didn't like the device for some reason, or + even a fatal error during device operation. The device must be + reset before attempting to re-initialize. + + Feature Bits + +The least significant 31 bits of the first configuration field +indicates the features that the device supports (the high bit is +reserved, and will be used to indicate the presence of future +feature bits elsewhere). If more than 31 feature bits are +supported, the device indicates so by setting feature bit 31 (see +[cha:Reserved-Feature-Bits]). The bits are allocated as follows: + + 0 to 23 Feature bits for the specific device type + + 24 to 40 Feature bits reserved for extensions to the queue and + feature negotiation mechanisms + + 41 to 63 Feature bits reserved for future extensions + +For example, feature bit 0 for a network device (i.e. Subsystem +Device ID 1) indicates that the device supports checksumming of +packets. + +The feature bits are negotiated: the device lists all the +features it understands in the Device Features field, and the +guest writes the subset that it understands into the Guest +Features field. The only way to renegotiate is to reset the +device. + +In particular, new fields in the device configuration header are +indicated by offering a feature bit, so the guest can check +before accessing that part of the configuration space. + +This allows for forwards and backwards compatibility: if the +device is enhanced with a new feature bit, older guests will not +write that feature bit back to the Guest Features field and it +can go into backwards compatibility mode. Similarly, if a guest +is enhanced with a feature that the device doesn't support, it +will not see that feature bit in the Device Features field and +can go into backwards compatibility mode (or, for poor +implementations, set the FAILED Device Status bit). + +Access to feature bits 32 to 63 is enabled by Guest by setting +feature bit 31. If this bit is unset, Device must assume that all +feature bits > 31 are unset. + + Configuration/Queue Vectors + +When MSI-X capability is present and enabled in the device +(through standard PCI configuration space) 4 bytes at byte offset +20 are used to map configuration change and queue interrupts to +MSI-X vectors. In this case, the ISR Status field is unused, and +device specific configuration starts at byte offset 24 in virtio +header structure. When MSI-X capability is not enabled, device +specific configuration starts at byte offset 20 in virtio header. + +Writing a valid MSI-X Table entry number, 0 to 0x7FF, to one of +Configuration/Queue Vector registers, maps interrupts triggered +by the configuration change/selected queue events respectively to +the corresponding MSI-X vector. To disable interrupts for a +specific event type, unmap it by writing a special NO_VECTOR +value: + +/* Vector value used to disable MSI for queue */ + +#define VIRTIO_MSI_NO_VECTOR 0xffff + +Reading these registers returns vector mapped to a given event, +or NO_VECTOR if unmapped. All queue and configuration change +events are unmapped by default. + +Note that mapping an event to vector might require allocating +internal device resources, and might fail. Devices report such +failures by returning the NO_VECTOR value when the relevant +Vector field is read. After mapping an event to vector, the +driver must verify success by reading the Vector field value: on +success, the previously written value is returned, and on +failure, NO_VECTOR is returned. If a mapping failure is detected, +the driver can retry mapping with fewervectors, or disable MSI-X. + + Virtqueue Configuration + +As a device can have zero or more virtqueues for bulk data +transport (for example, the network driver has two), the driver +needs to configure them as part of the device-specific +configuration. + +This is done as follows, for each virtqueue a device has: + + Write the virtqueue index (first queue is 0) to the Queue + Select field. + + Read the virtqueue size from the Queue Size field, which is + always a power of 2. This controls how big the virtqueue is + (see below). If this field is 0, the virtqueue does not exist. + + Allocate and zero virtqueue in contiguous physical memory, on a + 4096 byte alignment. Write the physical address, divided by + 4096 to the Queue Address field.[footnote: +The 4096 is based on the x86 page size, but it's also large +enough to ensure that the separate parts of the virtqueue are on +separate cache lines. +] + + Optionally, if MSI-X capability is present and enabled on the + device, select a vector to use to request interrupts triggered + by virtqueue events. Write the MSI-X Table entry number + corresponding to this vector in Queue Vector field. Read the + Queue Vector field: on success, previously written value is + returned; on failure, NO_VECTOR value is returned. + +The Queue Size field controls the total number of bytes required +for the virtqueue according to the following formula: + +#define ALIGN(x) (((x) + 4095) & ~4095) + +static inline unsigned vring_size(unsigned int qsz) + +{ + + return ALIGN(sizeof(struct vring_desc)*qsz + sizeof(u16)*(2 ++ qsz)) + + + ALIGN(sizeof(struct vring_used_elem)*qsz); + +} + +This currently wastes some space with padding, but also allows +future extensions. The virtqueue layout structure looks like this +(qsz is the Queue Size field, which is a variable, so this code +won't compile): + +struct vring { + + /* The actual descriptors (16 bytes each) */ + + struct vring_desc desc[qsz]; + + + + /* A ring of available descriptor heads with free-running +index. */ + + struct vring_avail avail; + + + + // Padding to the next 4096 boundary. + + char pad[]; + + + + // A ring of used descriptor heads with free-running index. + + struct vring_used used; + +}; + + A Note on Virtqueue Endianness + +Note that the endian of these fields and everything else in the +virtqueue is the native endian of the guest, not little-endian as +PCI normally is. This makes for simpler guest code, and it is +assumed that the host already has to be deeply aware of the guest +endian so such an “endian-aware” device is not a significant +issue. + + Descriptor Table + +The descriptor table refers to the buffers the guest is using for +the device. The addresses are physical addresses, and the buffers +can be chained via the next field. Each descriptor describes a +buffer which is read-only or write-only, but a chain of +descriptors can contain both read-only and write-only buffers. + +No descriptor chain may be more than 2^32 bytes long in total.struct vring_desc { + + /* Address (guest-physical). */ + + u64 addr; + + /* Length. */ + + u32 len; + +/* This marks a buffer as continuing via the next field. */ + +#define VRING_DESC_F_NEXT 1 + +/* This marks a buffer as write-only (otherwise read-only). */ + +#define VRING_DESC_F_WRITE 2 + +/* This means the buffer contains a list of buffer descriptors. +*/ + +#define VRING_DESC_F_INDIRECT 4 + + /* The flags as indicated above. */ + + u16 flags; + + /* Next field if flags & NEXT */ + + u16 next; + +}; + +The number of descriptors in the table is specified by the Queue +Size field for this virtqueue. + + <sub:Indirect-Descriptors>Indirect Descriptors + +Some devices benefit by concurrently dispatching a large number +of large requests. The VIRTIO_RING_F_INDIRECT_DESC feature can be +used to allow this (see [cha:Reserved-Feature-Bits]). To increase +ring capacity it is possible to store a table of indirect +descriptors anywhere in memory, and insert a descriptor in main +virtqueue (with flags&INDIRECT on) that refers to memory buffer +containing this indirect descriptor table; fields addr and len +refer to the indirect table address and length in bytes, +respectively. The indirect table layout structure looks like this +(len is the length of the descriptor that refers to this table, +which is a variable, so this code won't compile): + +struct indirect_descriptor_table { + + /* The actual descriptors (16 bytes each) */ + + struct vring_desc desc[len / 16]; + +}; + +The first indirect descriptor is located at start of the indirect +descriptor table (index 0), additional indirect descriptors are +chained by next field. An indirect descriptor without next field +(with flags&NEXT off) signals the end of the indirect descriptor +table, and transfers control back to the main virtqueue. An +indirect descriptor can not refer to another indirect descriptor +table (flags&INDIRECT must be off). A single indirect descriptor +table can include both read-only and write-only descriptors; +write-only flag (flags&WRITE) in the descriptor that refers to it +is ignored. + + Available Ring + +The available ring refers to what descriptors we are offering the +device: it refers to the head of a descriptor chain. The “flags” +field is currently 0 or 1: 1 indicating that we do not need an +interrupt when the device consumes a descriptor from the +available ring. Alternatively, the guest can ask the device to +delay interrupts until an entry with an index specified by the “ +used_event” field is written in the used ring (equivalently, +until the idx field in the used ring will reach the value +used_event + 1). The method employed by the device is controlled +by the VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX feature bit (see [cha:Reserved-Feature-Bits] +). This interrupt suppression is merely an optimization; it may +not suppress interrupts entirely. + +The “idx” field indicates where we would put the next descriptor +entry (modulo the ring size). This starts at 0, and increases. + +struct vring_avail { + +#define VRING_AVAIL_F_NO_INTERRUPT 1 + + u16 flags; + + u16 idx; + + u16 ring[qsz]; /* qsz is the Queue Size field read from device +*/ + + u16 used_event; + +}; + + Used Ring + +The used ring is where the device returns buffers once it is done +with them. The flags field can be used by the device to hint that +no notification is necessary when the guest adds to the available +ring. Alternatively, the “avail_event” field can be used by the +device to hint that no notification is necessary until an entry +with an index specified by the “avail_event” is written in the +available ring (equivalently, until the idx field in the +available ring will reach the value avail_event + 1). The method +employed by the device is controlled by the guest through the +VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX feature bit (see [cha:Reserved-Feature-Bits] +). [footnote: +These fields are kept here because this is the only part of the +virtqueue written by the device +]. + +Each entry in the ring is a pair: the head entry of the +descriptor chain describing the buffer (this matches an entry +placed in the available ring by the guest earlier), and the total +of bytes written into the buffer. The latter is extremely useful +for guests using untrusted buffers: if you do not know exactly +how much has been written by the device, you usually have to zero +the buffer to ensure no data leakage occurs. + +/* u32 is used here for ids for padding reasons. */ + +struct vring_used_elem { + + /* Index of start of used descriptor chain. */ + + u32 id; + + /* Total length of the descriptor chain which was used +(written to) */ + + u32 len; + +}; + + + +struct vring_used { + +#define VRING_USED_F_NO_NOTIFY 1 + + u16 flags; + + u16 idx; + + struct vring_used_elem ring[qsz]; + + u16 avail_event; + +}; + + Helpers for Managing Virtqueues + +The Linux Kernel Source code contains the definitions above and +helper routines in a more usable form, in +include/linux/virtio_ring.h. This was explicitly licensed by IBM +and Red Hat under the (3-clause) BSD license so that it can be +freely used by all other projects, and is reproduced (with slight +variation to remove Linux assumptions) in Appendix A. + + Device Operation + +There are two parts to device operation: supplying new buffers to +the device, and processing used buffers from the device. As an +example, the virtio network device has two virtqueues: the +transmit virtqueue and the receive virtqueue. The driver adds +outgoing (read-only) packets to the transmit virtqueue, and then +frees them after they are used. Similarly, incoming (write-only) +buffers are added to the receive virtqueue, and processed after +they are used. + + Supplying Buffers to The Device + +Actual transfer of buffers from the guest OS to the device +operates as follows: + + Place the buffer(s) into free descriptor(s). + + If there are no free descriptors, the guest may choose to + notify the device even if notifications are suppressed (to + reduce latency).[footnote: +The Linux drivers do this only for read-only buffers: for +write-only buffers, it is assumed that the driver is merely +trying to keep the receive buffer ring full, and no notification +of this expected condition is necessary. +] + + Place the id of the buffer in the next ring entry of the + available ring. + + The steps (1) and (2) may be performed repeatedly if batching + is possible. + + A memory barrier should be executed to ensure the device sees + the updated descriptor table and available ring before the next + step. + + The available “idx” field should be increased by the number of + entries added to the available ring. + + A memory barrier should be executed to ensure that we update + the idx field before checking for notification suppression. + + If notifications are not suppressed, the device should be + notified of the new buffers. + +Note that the above code does not take precautions against the +available ring buffer wrapping around: this is not possible since +the ring buffer is the same size as the descriptor table, so step +(1) will prevent such a condition. + +In addition, the maximum queue size is 32768 (it must be a power +of 2 which fits in 16 bits), so the 16-bit “idx” value can always +distinguish between a full and empty buffer. + +Here is a description of each stage in more detail. + + Placing Buffers Into The Descriptor Table + +A buffer consists of zero or more read-only physically-contiguous +elements followed by zero or more physically-contiguous +write-only elements (it must have at least one element). This +algorithm maps it into the descriptor table: + + for each buffer element, b: + + Get the next free descriptor table entry, d + + Set d.addr to the physical address of the start of b + + Set d.len to the length of b. + + If b is write-only, set d.flags to VRING_DESC_F_WRITE, + otherwise 0. + + If there is a buffer element after this: + + Set d.next to the index of the next free descriptor element. + + Set the VRING_DESC_F_NEXT bit in d.flags. + +In practice, the d.next fields are usually used to chain free +descriptors, and a separate count kept to check there are enough +free descriptors before beginning the mappings. + + Updating The Available Ring + +The head of the buffer we mapped is the first d in the algorithm +above. A naive implementation would do the following: + +avail->ring[avail->idx % qsz] = head; + +However, in general we can add many descriptors before we update +the “idx” field (at which point they become visible to the +device), so we keep a counter of how many we've added: + +avail->ring[(avail->idx + added++) % qsz] = head; + + Updating The Index Field + +Once the idx field of the virtqueue is updated, the device will +be able to access the descriptor entries we've created and the +memory they refer to. This is why a memory barrier is generally +used before the idx update, to ensure it sees the most up-to-date +copy. + +The idx field always increments, and we let it wrap naturally at +65536: + +avail->idx += added; + + <sub:Notifying-The-Device>Notifying The Device + +Device notification occurs by writing the 16-bit virtqueue index +of this virtqueue to the Queue Notify field of the virtio header +in the first I/O region of the PCI device. This can be expensive, +however, so the device can suppress such notifications if it +doesn't need them. We have to be careful to expose the new idx +value before checking the suppression flag: it's OK to notify +gratuitously, but not to omit a required notification. So again, +we use a memory barrier here before reading the flags or the +avail_event field. + +If the VIRTIO_F_RING_EVENT_IDX feature is not negotiated, and if +the VRING_USED_F_NOTIFY flag is not set, we go ahead and write to +the PCI configuration space. + +If the VIRTIO_F_RING_EVENT_IDX feature is negotiated, we read the +avail_event field in the available ring structure.

This is necessary to handle the case where, after the +last check and before enabling interrupts, an interrupt has been +suppressed by the device: + +vring_disable_interrupts(vq); + +for (;;) { + + if (vq->last_seen_used != vring->used.idx) { + + vring_enable_interrupts(vq); + + mb(); + + if (vq->last_seen_used != vring->used.idx) + + break; + + } + + struct vring_used_elem *e = +vring.used->ring[vq->last_seen_used%vsz]; + + process_buffer(e); + + vq->last_seen_used++; + +} + + Dealing With Configuration Changes + +Some virtio PCI devices can change the device configuration +state, as reflected in the virtio header in the PCI configuration +space. In this case: + + If MSI-X capability is disabled: an interrupt is delivered and + the second highest bit is set in the ISR Status field to + indicate that the driver should re-examine the configuration + space.Note that a single interrupt can indicate both that one + or more virtqueue has been used and that the configuration + space has changed: even if the config bit is set, virtqueues + must be scanned. + + If MSI-X capability is enabled: an interrupt message is + requested. The Configuration Vector field sets the MSI-X Table + entry number to use. If Configuration Vector field value is + NO_VECTOR, no interrupt message is requested for this event. + +Creating New Device Types + +Various considerations are necessary when creating a new device +type: + + How Many Virtqueues? + +It is possible that a very simple device will operate entirely +through its configuration space, but most will need at least one +virtqueue in which it will place requests. A device with both +input and output (eg. console and network devices described here) +need two queues: one which the driver fills with buffers to +receive input, and one which the driver places buffers to +transmit output. + + What Configuration Space Layout? + +Configuration space is generally used for rarely-changing or +initialization-time parameters. But it is a limited resource, so +it might be better to use a virtqueue to update configuration +information (the network device does this for filtering, +otherwise the table in the config space could potentially be very +large). + +Note that this space is generally the guest's native endian, +rather than PCI's little-endian. + + What Device Number? + +Currently device numbers are assigned quite freely: a simple +request mail to the author of this document or the Linux +virtualization mailing list[footnote: + +https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization +] will be sufficient to secure a unique one. + +Meanwhile for experimental drivers, use 65535 and work backwards. + + How many MSI-X vectors? + +Using the optional MSI-X capability devices can speed up +interrupt processing by removing the need to read ISR Status +register by guest driver (which might be an expensive operation), +reducing interrupt sharing between devices and queues within the +device, and handling interrupts from multiple CPUs. However, some +systems impose a limit (which might be as low as 256) on the +total number of MSI-X vectors that can be allocated to all +devices. Devices and/or device drivers should take this into +account, limiting the number of vectors used unless the device is +expected to cause a high volume of interrupts. Devices can +control the number of vectors used by limiting the MSI-X Table +Size or not presenting MSI-X capability in PCI configuration +space. Drivers can control this by mapping events to as small +number of vectors as possible, or disabling MSI-X capability +altogether. + + Message Framing + +The descriptors used for a buffer should not effect the semantics +of the message, except for the total length of the buffer. For +example, a network buffer consists of a 10 byte header followed +by the network packet. Whether this is presented in the ring +descriptor chain as (say) a 10 byte buffer and a 1514 byte +buffer, or a single 1524 byte buffer, or even three buffers, +should have no effect. + +In particular, no implementation should use the descriptor +boundaries to determine the size of any header in a request.[footnote: +The current qemu device implementations mistakenly insist that +the first descriptor cover the header in these cases exactly, so +a cautious driver should arrange it so. +] + + Device Improvements + +Any change to configuration space, or new virtqueues, or +behavioural changes, should be indicated by negotiation of a new +feature bit. This establishes clarity[footnote: +Even if it does mean documenting design or implementation +mistakes! +] and avoids future expansion problems. + +Clusters of functionality which are always implemented together +can use a single bit, but if one feature makes sense without the +others they should not be gratuitously grouped together to +conserve feature bits. We can always extend the spec when the +first person needs more than 24 feature bits for their device. + +[LaTeX Command: printnomenclature] + +Appendix A: virtio_ring.h + +#ifndef VIRTIO_RING_H + +#define VIRTIO_RING_H + +/* An interface for efficient virtio implementation. + + * + + * This header is BSD licensed so anyone can use the definitions + + * to implement compatible drivers/servers. + + * + + * Copyright 2007, 2009, IBM Corporation + + * Copyright 2011, Red Hat, Inc + + * All rights reserved. + + * + + * Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or +without + + * modification, are permitted provided that the following +conditions + + * are met: + + * 1.

Otherwise, the packet must be fully + checksummed, and flags is zero. + + flags has the VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM set, + + <ite:csum_start-is-set>csum_start is set to the offset within + the packet to begin checksumming, and + + csum_offset indicates how many bytes after the csum_start the + new (16 bit ones' complement) checksum should be placed.[footnote: +For example, consider a partially checksummed TCP (IPv4) packet. +It will have a 14 byte ethernet header and 20 byte IP header +followed by the TCP header (with the TCP checksum field 16 bytes +into that header). csum_start will be 14+20 = 34 (the TCP +checksum includes the header), and csum_offset will be 16. The +value in the TCP checksum field will be the sum of the TCP pseudo +header, so that replacing it by the ones' complement checksum of +the TCP header and body will give the correct result. +] + + <enu:If-the-driver>If the driver negotiated + VIRTIO_NET_F_HOST_TSO4, TSO6 or UFO, and the packet requires + TCP segmentation or UDP fragmentation, then the “gso_type” + field is set to VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_TCPV4, TCPV6 or UDP. + (Otherwise, it is set to VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_NONE). In this + case, packets larger than 1514 bytes can be transmitted: the + metadata indicates how to replicate the packet header to cut it + into smaller packets. The other gso fields are set: + + hdr_len is a hint to the device as to how much of the header + needs to be kept to copy into each packet, usually set to the + length of the headers, including the transport header.[footnote: +Due to various bugs in implementations, this field is not useful +as a guarantee of the transport header size. +] + + gso_size is the size of the packet beyond that header (ie. + MSS). + + If the driver negotiated the VIRTIO_NET_F_HOST_ECN feature, the + VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_ECN bit may be set in “gso_type” as well, + indicating that the TCP packet has the ECN bit set.[footnote: +This case is not handled by some older hardware, so is called out +specifically in the protocol. +] + + If the driver negotiated the VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF feature, + the num_buffers field is set to zero. + + The header and packet are added as one output buffer to the + transmitq, and the device is notified of the new entry (see [sub:Notifying-The-Device] + ).[footnote: +Note that the header will be two bytes longer for the +VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF case. +] + + Packet Transmission Interrupt + +Often a driver will suppress transmission interrupts using the +VRING_AVAIL_F_NO_INTERRUPT flag (see [sub:Receiving-Used-Buffers] +) and check for used packets in the transmit path of following +packets. However, it will still receive interrupts if the +VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY feature is negotiated, indicating that +the transmission queue is completely emptied. + +The normal behavior in this interrupt handler is to retrieve and +new descriptors from the used ring and free the corresponding +headers and packets. + + Setting Up Receive Buffers + +It is generally a good idea to keep the receive virtqueue as +fully populated as possible: if it runs out, network performance +will suffer. + +If the VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_TSO4, VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_TSO6 or +VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_UFO features are used, the Guest will need to +accept packets of up to 65550 bytes long (the maximum size of a +TCP or UDP packet, plus the 14 byte ethernet header), otherwise +1514 bytes. So unless VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF is negotiated, every +buffer in the receive queue needs to be at least this length [footnote: +Obviously each one can be split across multiple descriptor +elements. +]. + +If VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF is negotiated, each buffer must be at +least the size of the struct virtio_net_hdr. + + Packet Receive Interrupt + +When a packet is copied into a buffer in the receiveq, the +optimal path is to disable further interrupts for the receiveq +(see [sub:Receiving-Used-Buffers]) and process packets until no +more are found, then re-enable them. + +Processing packet involves: + + If the driver negotiated the VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF feature, + then the “num_buffers” field indicates how many descriptors + this packet is spread over (including this one). This allows + receipt of large packets without having to allocate large + buffers. In this case, there will be at least “num_buffers” in + the used ring, and they should be chained together to form a + single packet. The other buffers will not begin with a struct + virtio_net_hdr. + + If the VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF feature was not negotiated, or + the “num_buffers” field is one, then the entire packet will be + contained within this buffer, immediately following the struct + virtio_net_hdr. + + If the VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM feature was negotiated, the + VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM bit in the “flags” field may be + set: if so, the checksum on the packet is incomplete and the “ + csum_start” and “csum_offset” fields indicate how to calculate + it (see [ite:csum_start-is-set]). + + If the VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_TSO4, TSO6 or UFO options were + negotiated, then the “gso_type” may be something other than + VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_NONE, and the “gso_size” field indicates the + desired MSS (see [enu:If-the-driver]).Control Virtqueue + +The driver uses the control virtqueue (if VIRTIO_NET_F_VTRL_VQ is +negotiated) to send commands to manipulate various features of +the device which would not easily map into the configuration +space. + +All commands are of the following form: + +struct virtio_net_ctrl { + + u8 class; + + u8 command; + + u8 command-specific-data[]; + + u8 ack; + +}; + + + +/* ack values */ + +#define VIRTIO_NET_OK 0 + +#define VIRTIO_NET_ERR 1 + +The class, command and command-specific-data are set by the +driver, and the device sets the ack byte.

Some could be generic ports. In this + case, the control virtqueues are enabled and according to the + max_nr_ports configuration-space value, the appropriate number + of virtqueues are created. A control message indicating the + driver is ready is sent to the host. The host can then send + control messages for adding new ports to the device. After + creating and initializing each port, a + VIRTIO_CONSOLE_PORT_READY control message is sent to the host + for that port so the host can let us know of any additional + configuration options set for that port. + + The receiveq for each port is populated with one or more + receive buffers. + + Device Operation + + For output, a buffer containing the characters is placed in the + port's transmitq.[footnote: +Because this is high importance and low bandwidth, the current +Linux implementation polls for the buffer to be used, rather than +waiting for an interrupt, simplifying the implementation +significantly. However, for generic serial ports with the +O_NONBLOCK flag set, the polling limitation is relaxed and the +consumed buffers are freed upon the next write or poll call or +when a port is closed or hot-unplugged. +] + + When a buffer is used in the receiveq (signalled by an + interrupt), the contents is the input to the port associated + with the virtqueue for which the notification was received. + + If the driver negotiated the VIRTIO_CONSOLE_F_SIZE feature, a + configuration change interrupt may occur. The updated size can + be read from the configuration fields. + + If the driver negotiated the VIRTIO_CONSOLE_F_MULTIPORT + feature, active ports are announced by the host using the + VIRTIO_CONSOLE_PORT_ADD control message.

[footnote: +In this case, deflation advice is merely a courtesy +] + + In either case, once the device has completed the inflation or + deflation, the “actual” field of the configuration should be + updated to reflect the new number of pages in the balloon.[footnote: +As updates to configuration space are not atomic, this field +isn't particularly reliable, but can be used to diagnose buggy +guests. +] + + Memory Statistics + +The stats virtqueue is atypical because communication is driven +by the device (not the driver).
