See the next section for information + about that. + +- DAC Addressing for Address Space Hungry Devices +- +-There exists a class of devices which do not mesh well with the PCI +-DMA mapping API. By definition these "mappings" are a finite +-resource. The number of total available mappings per bus is platform +-specific, but there will always be a reasonable amount. +- +-What is "reasonable"? Reasonable means that networking and block I/O +-devices need not worry about using too many mappings. +- +-As an example of a problematic device, consider compute cluster cards. +-They can potentially need to access gigabytes of memory at once via +-DMA. Dynamic mappings are unsuitable for this kind of access pattern. +- +-To this end we've provided a small API by which a device driver +-may use DAC cycles to directly address all of physical memory. +-Not all platforms support this, but most do. It is easy to determine +-whether the platform will work properly at probe time. +- +-First, understand that there may be a SEVERE performance penalty for +-using these interfaces on some platforms. Therefore, you MUST only +-use these interfaces if it is absolutely required. %99 of devices can +-use the normal APIs without any problems. +- +-Note that for streaming type mappings you must either use these +-interfaces, or the dynamic mapping interfaces above. You may not mix +-usage of both for the same device. Such an act is illegal and is +-guaranteed to put a banana in your tailpipe. +- +-However, consistent mappings may in fact be used in conjunction with +-these interfaces. Remember that, as defined, consistent mappings are +-always going to be SAC addressable. +- +-The first thing your driver needs to do is query the PCI platform +-layer if it is capable of handling your devices DAC addressing +-capabilities: +- +- int pci_dac_dma_supported(struct pci_dev *hwdev, u64 mask); +- +-You may not use the following interfaces if this routine fails. +- +-Next, DMA addresses using this API are kept track of using the +-dma64_addr_t type. It is guaranteed to be big enough to hold any +-DAC address the platform layer will give to you from the following +-routines. If you have consistent mappings as well, you still +-use plain dma_addr_t to keep track of those. +- +-All mappings obtained here will be direct. The mappings are not +-translated, and this is the purpose of this dialect of the DMA API. +- +-All routines work with page/offset pairs. This is the _ONLY_ way to +-portably refer to any piece of memory. If you have a cpu pointer +-(which may be validly DMA'd too) you may easily obtain the page +-and offset using something like this: +- +- struct page *page = virt_to_page(ptr); +- unsigned long offset = offset_in_page(ptr); +- +-Here are the interfaces: +- +- dma64_addr_t pci_dac_page_to_dma(struct pci_dev *pdev, +- struct page *page, +- unsigned long offset, +- int direction); +- +-The DAC address for the tuple PAGE/OFFSET are returned.

All that is really needed is some way to handle an ++ interrupt and provide access to the memory space of the ++ device. The logic of controlling the device does not ++ necessarily have to be within the kernel, as the device does ++ not need to take advantage of any of other resources that the ++ kernel provides. One such common class of devices that are ++ like this are for industrial I/O cards. ++ ++ ++ To address this situation, the userspace I/O system (UIO) was ++ designed. For typical industrial I/O cards, only a very small ++ kernel module is needed. The main part of the driver will run in ++ user space. This simplifies development and reduces the risk of ++ serious bugs within a kernel module. ++ ++ ++ ++ ++Acknowledgments ++ I'd like to thank Thomas Gleixner and Benedikt Spranger of ++ Linutronix, who have not only written most of the UIO code, but also ++ helped greatly writing this HOWTO by giving me all kinds of background ++ information. ++ ++ ++ ++Feedback ++ Find something wrong with this document? (Or perhaps something ++ right?) I would love to hear from you. Please email me at ++ hjk@linutronix.de. ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++About UIO ++ ++If you use UIO for your card's driver, here's what you get: ++ ++ ++ ++ only one small kernel module to write and maintain. ++ ++ ++ develop the main part of your driver in user space, ++ with all the tools and libraries you're used to. ++ ++ ++ bugs in your driver won't crash the kernel. ++ ++ ++ updates of your driver can take place without recompiling ++ the kernel. ++ ++ ++ if you need to keep some parts of your driver closed source, ++ you can do so without violating the GPL license on the kernel. ++ ++ ++ ++ ++How UIO works ++ ++ Each UIO device is accessed through a device file and several ++ sysfs attribute files. The device file will be called ++ /dev/uio0 for the first device, and ++ /dev/uio1, /dev/uio2 ++ and so on for subsequent devices. ++ ++ ++ /dev/uioX is used to access the ++ address space of the card. Just use ++ mmap() to access registers or RAM ++ locations of your card. ++ ++ ++ ++ Interrupts are handled by reading from ++ /dev/uioX. A blocking ++ read() from ++ /dev/uioX will return as soon as an ++ interrupt occurs. You can also use ++ select() on ++ /dev/uioX to wait for an interrupt. The ++ integer value read from /dev/uioX ++ represents the total interrupt count. You can use this number ++ to figure out if you missed some interrupts. ++ ++ ++ ++ To handle interrupts properly, your custom kernel module can ++ provide its own interrupt handler. It will automatically be ++ called by the built-in handler. ++ ++ ++ ++ For cards that don't generate interrupts but need to be ++ polled, there is the possibility to set up a timer that ++ triggers the interrupt handler at configurable time intervals. ++ See drivers/uio/uio_dummy.c for an ++ example of this technique. ++ ++ ++ ++ Each driver provides attributes that are used to read or write ++ variables. These attributes are accessible through sysfs ++ files. A custom kernel driver module can add its own ++ attributes to the device owned by the uio driver, but not added ++ to the UIO device itself at this time. This might change in the ++ future if it would be found to be useful. ++ ++ ++ ++ The following standard attributes are provided by the UIO ++ framework: ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ name: The name of your device. It is ++ recommended to use the name of your kernel module for this. ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ version: A version string defined by your ++ driver. This allows the user space part of your driver to deal ++ with different versions of the kernel module. ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ event: The total number of interrupts ++ handled by the driver since the last time the device node was ++ read. ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ These attributes appear under the ++ /sys/class/uio/uioX directory. Please ++ note that this directory might be a symlink, and not a real ++ directory. Any userspace code that accesses it must be able ++ to handle this. ++ ++ ++ Each UIO device can make one or more memory regions available for ++ memory mapping. This is necessary because some industrial I/O cards ++ require access to more than one PCI memory region in a driver. ++ ++ ++ Each mapping has its own directory in sysfs, the first mapping ++ appears as /sys/class/uio/uioX/maps/map0/. ++ Subsequent mappings create directories map1/, ++ map2/, and so on. These directories will only ++ appear if the size of the mapping is not 0. ++ ++ ++ Each mapX/ directory contains two read-only files ++ that show start address and size of the memory: ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ addr: The address of memory that can be mapped. ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ size: The size, in bytes, of the memory ++ pointed to by addr. ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ From userspace, the different mappings are distinguished by adjusting ++ the offset parameter of the ++ mmap() call. To map the memory of mapping N, you ++ have to use N times the page size as your offset: ++ ++ ++offset = N * getpagesize(); ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++Using uio_dummy ++ ++ Well, there is no real use for uio_dummy. Its only purpose is ++ to test most parts of the UIO system (everything except ++ hardware interrupts), and to serve as an example for the ++ kernel module that you will have to write yourself. ++ ++ ++ ++What uio_dummy does ++ ++ The kernel module uio_dummy.ko creates a ++ device that uses a timer to generate periodic interrupts. The ++ interrupt handler does nothing but increment a counter. The ++ driver adds two custom attributes, count ++ and freq, that appear under ++ /sys/devices/platform/uio_dummy/. ++ ++ ++ ++ The attribute count can be read and ++ written. The associated file ++ /sys/devices/platform/uio_dummy/count ++ appears as a normal text file and contains the total number of ++ timer interrupts. If you look at it (e.g. using ++ cat), you'll notice it is slowly counting ++ up. ++ ++ ++ ++ The attribute freq can be read and written. ++ The content of ++ /sys/devices/platform/uio_dummy/freq ++ represents the number of system timer ticks between two timer ++ interrupts. The default value of freq is ++ the value of the kernel variable HZ, which ++ gives you an interval of one second. Lower values will ++ increase the frequency. Try the following: ++ ++ ++cd /sys/devices/platform/uio_dummy/ ++echo 100 > freq ++ ++ ++ Use cat count to see how the interrupt ++ frequency changes. ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++Writing your own kernel module ++ ++ Please have a look at uio_dummy.c as an ++ example. The following paragraphs explain the different ++ sections of this file. ++ ++ ++ ++struct uio_info ++ ++ This structure tells the framework the details of your driver, ++ Some of the members are required, others are optional. ++ ++ ++ ++ ++char *name: Required. The name of your driver as ++it will appear in sysfs. I recommend using the name of your module for this. ++ ++ ++ ++char *version: Required. This string appears in ++/sys/class/uio/uioX/version. ++ ++ ++ ++struct uio_mem mem[ MAX_UIO_MAPS ]: Required if you ++have memory that can be mapped with mmap(). For each ++mapping you need to fill one of the uio_mem structures. ++See the description below for details. ++ ++ ++ ++long irq: Required. If your hardware generates an ++interrupt, it's your modules task to determine the irq number during ++initialization. If you don't have a hardware generated interrupt but ++want to trigger the interrupt handler in some other way, set ++irq to UIO_IRQ_CUSTOM. The ++uio_dummy module does this as it triggers the event mechanism in a timer ++routine. If you had no interrupt at all, you could set ++irq to UIO_IRQ_NONE, though this ++rarely makes sense. ++ ++ ++ ++unsigned long irq_flags: Required if you've set ++irq to a hardware interrupt number. The flags given ++here will be used in the call to request_irq(). ++ ++ ++ ++int (*mmap)(struct uio_info *info, struct vm_area_struct ++*vma): Optional. If you need a special ++mmap() function, you can set it here. If this ++pointer is not NULL, your mmap() will be called ++instead of the built-in one. ++ ++ ++ ++int (*open)(struct uio_info *info, struct inode *inode) ++: Optional. You might want to have your own ++open(), e.g. to enable interrupts only when your ++device is actually used. ++ ++ ++ ++int (*release)(struct uio_info *info, struct inode *inode) ++: Optional. If you define your own ++open(), you will probably also want a custom ++release() function. ++ ++ ++ ++ ++Usually, your device will have one or more memory regions that can be mapped ++to user space. For each region, you have to set up a ++struct uio_mem in the mem[] array. ++Here's a description of the fields of struct uio_mem: ++ ++ ++ ++ ++int memtype: Required if the mapping is used. Set this to ++UIO_MEM_PHYS if you you have physical memory on your ++card to be mapped. Use UIO_MEM_LOGICAL for logical ++memory (e.g. allocated with kmalloc()). There's also ++UIO_MEM_VIRTUAL for virtual memory. ++ ++ ++ ++unsigned long addr: Required if the mapping is used. ++Fill in the address of your memory block. This address is the one that ++appears in sysfs. ++ ++ ++ ++unsigned long size: Fill in the size of the ++memory block that addr points to. If size ++is zero, the mapping is considered unused. Note that you ++must initialize size with zero for ++all unused mappings. ++ ++ ++ ++void *internal_addr: If you have to access this memory ++region from within your kernel module, you will want to map it internally by ++using something like ioremap(). Addresses ++returned by this function cannot be mapped to user space, so you must not ++store it in addr. Use internal_addr ++instead to remember such an address. ++ ++ ++ ++ ++Please do not touch the kobj element of ++struct uio_mem! It is used by the UIO framework ++to set up sysfs files for this mapping. Simply leave it alone. ++ ++ ++ ++ ++Adding an interrupt handler ++ ++ What you need to do in your interrupt handler depends on your ++ hardware and on how you want to handle it. You should try to ++ keep the amount of code in your kernel interrupt handler low. ++ If your hardware requires no action that you ++ have to perform after each interrupt, ++ then your handler can be empty. If, on the other ++ hand, your hardware needs some action to ++ be performed after each interrupt, then you ++ must do it in your kernel module. Note ++ that you cannot rely on the userspace part of your driver. Your ++ userspace program can terminate at any time, possibly leaving ++ your hardware in a state where proper interrupt handling is ++ still required. ++ ++ ++ ++ There might also be applications where you want to read data ++ from your hardware at each interrupt and buffer it in a piece ++ of kernel memory you've allocated for that purpose. With this ++ technique you could avoid loss of data if your userspace ++ program misses an interrupt. ++ ++ ++ ++ A note on shared interrupts: Your driver should support ++ interrupt sharing whenever this is possible. It is possible if ++ and only if your driver can detect whether your hardware has ++ triggered the interrupt or not. This is usually done by looking ++ at an interrupt status register. If your driver sees that the ++ IRQ bit is actually set, it will perform its actions, and the ++ handler returns IRQ_HANDLED. If the driver detects that it was ++ not your hardware that caused the interrupt, it will do nothing ++ and return IRQ_NONE, allowing the kernel to call the next ++ possible interrupt handler. ++ ++ ++ ++ If you decide not to support shared interrupts, your card ++ won't work in computers with no free interrupts. As this ++ frequently happens on the PC platform, you can save yourself a ++ lot of trouble by supporting interrupt sharing. ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++Writing a driver in userspace ++ ++ Once you have a working kernel module for your hardware, you can ++ write the userspace part of your driver. You don't need any special ++ libraries, your driver can be written in any reasonable language, ++ you can use floating point numbers and so on. In short, you can ++ use all the tools and libraries you'd normally use for writing a ++ userspace application. ++ ++ ++ ++Getting information about your UIO device ++ ++ Information about all UIO devices is available in sysfs. The ++ first thing you should do in your driver is check ++ name and version to ++ make sure your talking to the right device and that its kernel ++ driver has the version you expect. ++ ++ ++ You should also make sure that the memory mapping you need ++ exists and has the size you expect. ++ ++ ++ There is a tool called lsuio that lists ++ UIO devices and their attributes. It is available here: ++ ++ ++ ++ http://www.osadl.org/projects/downloads/UIO/user/ ++ ++ ++ With lsuio you can quickly check if your ++ kernel module is loaded and which attributes it exports. ++ Have a look at the manpage for details. ++ ++ ++ The source code of lsuio can serve as an ++ example for getting information about an UIO device. ++ The file uio_helper.c contains a lot of ++ functions you could use in your userspace driver code. ++ ++ ++ ++ ++mmap() device memory ++ ++ After you made sure you've got the right device with the ++ memory mappings you need, all you have to do is to call ++ mmap() to map the device's memory ++ to userspace. ++ ++ ++ The parameter offset of the ++ mmap() call has a special meaning ++ for UIO devices: It is used to select which mapping of ++ your device you want to map. To map the memory of ++ mapping N, you have to use N times the page size as ++ your offset: ++ ++ ++ offset = N * getpagesize(); ++ ++ ++ N starts from zero, so if you've got only one memory ++ range to map, set offset = 0. ++ A drawback of this technique is that memory is always ++ mapped beginning with its start address. ++ ++ ++ ++ ++Waiting for interrupts ++ ++ After you successfully mapped your devices memory, you ++ can access it like an ordinary array. Usually, you will ++ perform some initialization. After that, your hardware ++ starts working and will generate an interrupt as soon ++ as it's finished, has some data available, or needs your ++ attention because an error occured. ++ ++ ++ /dev/uioX is a read-only file. A ++ read() will always block until an ++ interrupt occurs. There is only one legal value for the ++ count parameter of ++ read(), and that is the size of a ++ signed 32 bit integer (4). Any other value for ++ count causes read() ++ to fail. The signed 32 bit integer read is the interrupt ++ count of your device. If the value is one more than the value ++ you read the last time, everything is OK. If the difference ++ is greater than one, you missed interrupts. ++ ++ ++ You can also use select() on ++ /dev/uioX. ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++Further information ++ ++ ++ ++ OSADL homepage. ++ ++ ++ ++ Linutronix homepage. ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ +diff -Nurp linux-2.6.22/Documentation/HOWTO linux-2.6-netns/Documentation/HOWTO +--- linux-2.6.22/Documentation/HOWTO 2007-07-08 19:32:17.000000000 -0400 ++++ linux-2.6-netns/Documentation/HOWTO 2007-12-03 23:14:12.000000000 -0500 +@@ -249,6 +249,9 @@ process is as follows: + release a new -rc kernel every week. + - Process continues until the kernel is considered "ready", the + process should last around 6 weeks. ++ - A list of known regressions present in each -rc release is ++ tracked at the following URI: ++ http://kernelnewbies.org/known_regressions + + It is worth mentioning what Andrew Morton wrote on the linux-kernel + mailing list about kernel releases: +diff -Nurp linux-2.6.22/Documentation/RCU/checklist.txt linux-2.6-netns/Documentation/RCU/checklist.txt +--- linux-2.6.22/Documentation/RCU/checklist.txt 2007-07-08 19:32:17.000000000 -0400 ++++ linux-2.6-netns/Documentation/RCU/checklist.txt 2007-12-03 23:06:33.000000000 -0500 +@@ -222,7 +222,15 @@ over a rather long period of time, but i + deadlock as soon as the RCU callback happens to interrupt that + acquisition's critical section. + +-13.

It works with +-AZTECH CDA268-01A, ORCHID CDS-3110, ORCHID/WEARNES CDD110 and CONRAD TXC +-(Nr.99 31 23 -series 04) and has proven to be stable with kernel +-versions 1.0.9 and newer. But with any software there still may be bugs in it. +-So if you encounter problems, you are invited to help us improve this software. +-Please send me a detailed bug report (see chapter BUG REPORTS). You are also +-invited in helping us to increase the number of drives, which are supported. +- +-Please read the README-files carefully and always keep a backup copy of your +-old kernel, in order to reboot if something goes wrong! +- +-2. INSTALLATION +-The driver consists of a header file 'aztcd.h', which normally should reside +-in /usr/src/linux/drivers/cdrom and the source code 'aztcd.c', which normally +-resides in the same place. It uses /dev/aztcd (/dev/aztcd0 in some distri- +-butions), which must be a valid block device with major number 29 and reside +-in directory /dev. To mount a CD-ROM, your kernel needs to have the ISO9660- +-filesystem support included. +- +-PLEASE NOTE: aztcd.c has been developed in parallel to the linux kernel, +-which had and is having many major and minor changes which are not backward +-compatible. Quite definitely aztcd.c version 1.80 and newer will NOT work +-in kernels older than 1.3.33. So please always use the most recent version +-of aztcd.c with the appropriate linux-kernel. +- +-3. CONFIGURING YOUR KERNEL +-If your kernel is already configured for using the AZTECH driver you will +-see the following message while Linux boots: +- Aztech CD-ROM Init: DriverVersion= BaseAddress= +- Aztech CD-ROM Init: FirmwareVersion=>> +- Aztech CD-ROM Init: detected +- Aztech CD-ROM Init: End +-If the message looks different and you are sure to have a supported drive, +-it may have a different base address. The Aztech driver does look for the +-CD-ROM drive at the base address specified in aztcd.h at compile time. This +-address can be overwritten by boot parameter aztcd=....You should reboot and +-start Linux with boot parameter aztcd=, e.g. aztcd=0x320. If +-you do not know the base address, start your PC with DOS and look at the boot +-message of your CD-ROM's DOS driver. If that still does not help, use boot +-parameter aztcd=,0x79 , this tells aztcd to try a little harder. +-aztcd may be configured to use autoprobing the base address by recompiling +-it (see chapter 4.). +- +-If the message looks correct, as user 'root' you should be able to mount the +-drive by +- mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/aztcd0 /mnt +-and use it as any other filesystem. (If this does not work, check if +-/dev/aztcd0 and /mnt do exist and create them, if necessary by doing +- mknod /dev/aztcd0 b 29 0 +- mkdir /mnt +- +-If you still get a different message while Linux boots or when you get the +-message, that the ISO9660-filesystem is not supported by your kernel, when +-you try to mount the CD-ROM drive, you have to recompile your kernel. +- +-If you do *not* have an Aztech/Orchid/Okano/Wearnes/TXC drive and want to +-bypass drive detection during Linux boot up, start with boot parameter aztcd=0. +- +-Most distributions nowadays do contain a boot disk image containing aztcd. +-Please note, that this driver will not work with IDE/ATAPI drives! With these +-you must use ide-cd.c instead. +- +-4. RECOMPILING YOUR KERNEL +-If your kernel is not yet configured for the AZTECH driver and the ISO9660- +-filesystem, you have to recompile your kernel: +- +-- Edit aztcd.h to set the I/O-address to your I/O-Base address (AZT_BASE_ADDR), +- the driver does not use interrupts or DMA, so if you are using an AZTECH +- CD268, an ORCHID CD-3110 or ORCHID/WEARNES CDD110 that's the only item you +- have to set up. If you have a soundcard, read chapter 4.2. +- Users of other drives should read chapter OTHER DRIVES of this file. +- You also can configure that address by kernel boot parameter aztcd=... +-- aztcd may be configured to use autoprobing the base address by setting +- AZT_BASE_ADDR to '-1'. In that case aztcd probes the addresses listed +- under AZT_BASE_AUTO. But please remember, that autoprobing always may +- incorrectly influence other hardware components too! +-- There are some other points, which may be configured, e.g. auto-eject the +- CD when unmounting a drive, tray locking etc., see aztcd.h for details. +-- If you're using a linux kernel version prior to 2.1.0, in aztcd.h +- uncomment the line '#define AZT_KERNEL_PRIOR_2_1' +-- Build a new kernel, configure it for 'Aztech/Orchid/Okano/Wearnes support' +- (if you want aztcd to be part of the kernel).

To build aztcd as a loadable module you +-must configure your kernel for AZTECH module support (answer 'm' when con- +-figuring the kernel). Anyhow, you may run into problems, if the version of +-your boot kernel is not the same than the source kernel version, from which +-you create the modules. So rebuild your kernel, if necessary. +- +-Now edit the base address of your AZTECH interface card in +-/usr/src/linux/drivers/cdrom/aztcd.h to the appropriate value. +-aztcd may be configured to use autoprobing the base address by setting +-AZT_BASE_ADDR to '-1'. In that case aztcd probes the addresses listed +-under AZT_BASE_AUTO. But please remember, that autoprobing always may +-incorrectly influence other hardware components too! +-There are also some special features which may be configured, e.g. +-auto-eject a CD when unmounting the drive etc; see aztcd.h for details. +-Then change to /usr/src/linux and do a +- make modules +- make modules_install +-After that you can run-time load the driver via +- insmod /lib/modules/X.X.X/misc/aztcd.o +-and remove it via rmmod aztcd. +-If you did not set the correct base address in aztcd.h, you can also supply the +-base address when loading the driver via +- insmod /lib/modules/X.X.X/misc/aztcd.o aztcd= +-Again specifying aztcd=-1 will cause autoprobing. +-If you do not have the iso9660-filesystem in your boot kernel, you also have +-to load it before you can mount the CDROM: +- insmod /lib/modules/X.X.X/fs/isofs.o +-The mount procedure works as described in 4. above. +-(In all commands 'X.X.X' is the current linux kernel version number) +- +-4.2 CDROM CONNECTED TO A SOUNDCARD +-Most soundcards do have a bus interface to the CDROM-drive. In many cases +-this soundcard needs to be configured, before the CDROM can be used. This +-configuration procedure consists of writing some kind of initialization +-data to the soundcard registers. The AZTECH-CDROM driver in the moment does +-only support one type of soundcard (SoundWave32). Users of other soundcards +-should try to boot DOS first and let their DOS drivers initialize the +-soundcard and CDROM, then warm boot (or use loadlin) their PC to start +-Linux. +-Support for the CDROM-interface of SoundWave32-soundcards is directly +-implemented in the AZTECH driver. Please edit linux/drivers/cdrom/aztdc.h, +-uncomment line '#define AZT_SW32' and set the appropriate value for +-AZT_BASE_ADDR and AZT_SW32_BASE_ADDR. This support was tested with an Orchid +-CDS-3110 connected to a SoundWave32. +-If you want your soundcard to be supported, find out, how it needs to be +-configured and mail me (see 6.) the appropriate information. +- +-5. KNOWN PROBLEMS, FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS +-5.1 MULTISESSION SUPPORT +-Multisession support for CD's still is a myth. I implemented and tested a basic +-support for multisession and XA CDs, but I still have not enough CDs and appli- +-cations to test it rigorously. So if you'd like to help me, please contact me +-(Email address see below). As of version 1.4 and newer you can enable the +-multisession support in aztcd.h by setting AZT_MULTISESSION to 1. Doing so +-will cause the ISO9660-filesystem to deal with multisession CDs, ie. redirect +-requests to the Table of Contents (TOC) information from the last session, +-which contains the info of all previous sessions etc.. If you do set +-AZT_MULTISESSION to 0, you can use multisession CDs anyway. In that case the +-drive's firmware will do automatic redirection. For the ISO9660-filesystem any +-multisession CD will then look like a 'normal' single session CD. But never- +-theless the data of all sessions are viewable and accessible. So with practical- +-ly all real world applications you won't notice the difference. But as future +-applications may make use of advanced multisession features, I've started to +-implement the interface for the ISO9660 multisession interface via ioctl +-CDROMMULTISESSION. +- +-5.2 STATUS RECOGNITION +-The drive status recognition does not work correctly in all cases. Changing +-a disk or having the door open, when a drive is already mounted, is detected +-by the Aztech driver itself, but nevertheless causes multiple read attempts +-by the different layers of the ISO9660-filesystem driver, which finally timeout, +-so you have to wait quite a little... But isn't it bad style to change a disk +-in a mounted drive, anyhow ?! +- +-The driver uses busy wait in most cases for the drive handshake (macros +-STEN_LOW and DTEN_LOW). I tested with a 486/DX2 at 66MHz and a Pentium at +-60MHz and 90MHz. Whenever you use a much faster machine you are likely to get +-timeout messages. In that case edit aztcd.h and increase the timeout value +-AZT_TIMEOUT. +- +-For some 'slow' drive commands I implemented waiting with a timer waitqueue +-(macro STEN_LOW_WAIT). If you get this timeout message, you may also edit +-aztcd.h and increase the timeout value AZT_STATUS_DELAY. The waitqueue has +-shown to be a little critical. If you get kernel panic messages, edit aztcd.c +-and substitute STEN_LOW_WAIT by STEN_LOW. Busy waiting with STEN_LOW is more +-stable, but also causes CPU overhead. +- +-5.3 DOSEMU's CD-ROM SUPPORT +-With release 1.20 aztcd was modified to allow access to CD-ROMS when running +-under dosemu-0.60.0 aztcd-versions before 1.20 are most likely to crash +-Linux, when a CD-ROM is accessed under dosemu. This problem has partly been +-fixed, but still when accessing a directory for the first time the system +-might hang for some 30sec. So be patient, when using dosemu's CD-ROM support +-in combination with aztcd :-) ! +-This problem has now (July 1995) been fixed by a modification to dosemu's +-CD-ROM driver. The new version came with dosemu-0.60.2, see dosemu's +-README.CDROM. +- +-6. BUG REPORTS +-Please send detailed bug reports and bug fixes via EMail to +- +- Werner.Zimmermann@fht-esslingen.de +- +-Please include a description of your CD-ROM drive type and interface card, +-the exact firmware message during Linux bootup, the version number of the +-AZTECH-CDROM-driver and the Linux kernel version. Also a description of your +-system's other hardware could be of interest, especially microprocessor type, +-clock frequency, other interface cards such as soundcards, ethernet adapter, +-game cards etc.. +- +-I will try to collect the reports and make the necessary modifications from +-time to time. I may also come back to you directly with some bug fixes and +-ask you to do further testing and debugging. +- +-Editors of CD-ROMs are invited to send a 'cooperation' copy of their +-CD-ROMs to the volunteers, who provided the CD-ROM support for Linux. My +-snail mail address for such 'stuff' is +- Prof. Dr. W. Zimmermann +- Fachhochschule fuer Technik Esslingen +- Fachbereich IT +- Flandernstrasse 101 +- D-73732 Esslingen +- Germany +- +- +-7. OTHER DRIVES +-The following drives ORCHID CDS3110, OKANO CDD110, WEARNES CDD110 and Conrad +-TXC Nr. 993123-series 04 nearly look the same as AZTECH CDA268-01A, especially +-they seem to use the same command codes. So it was quite simple to make the +-AZTECH driver work with these drives. +- +-Unfortunately I do not have any of these drives available, so I couldn't test +-it myself. In some installations, it seems necessary to initialize the drive +-with the DOS driver before (especially if combined with a sound card) and then +-do a warm boot (CTRL-ALT-RESET) or start Linux from DOS, e.g. with 'loadlin'. +- +-If you do not succeed, read chapter DEBUGGING. Thanks in advance! +- +-Sorry for the inconvenience, but it is difficult to develop for hardware, +-which you don't have available for testing. So if you like, please help us. +- +-If you do have a CyCDROM CR520ie thanks to Hilmar Berger's help your chances +-are good, that it will work with aztcd. The CR520ie is sold as an IDE-drive +-and really is connected to the IDE interface (primary at 0x1F0 or secondary +-at 0x170, configured as slave, not as master). Nevertheless it is not ATAPI +-compatible but still uses Aztech's command codes. +- +- +-8. DEBUGGING : IF YOU DON'T SUCCEED, TRY THE FOLLOWING +--reread the complete README file +--make sure, that your drive is hardware configured for +- transfer mode: polled +- IRQ: not used +- DMA: not used +- Base Address: something like 300, 320 ... +- You can check this, when you start the DOS driver, which came with your +- drive. By appropriately configuring the drive and the DOS driver you can +- check, whether your drive does operate in this mode correctly under DOS. If +- it does not operate under DOS, it won't under Linux. +- If your drive's base address is something like 0x170 or 0x1F0 (and it is +- not a CyCDROM CR520ie or CR 940ie) you most likely are having an IDE/ATAPI- +- compatible drive, which is not supported by aztcd.c, use ide-cd.c instead. +- Make sure the Base Address is configured correctly in aztcd.h, also make +- sure, that /dev/aztcd0 exists with the correct major number (compare it with +- the entry in file /usr/include/linux/major.h for the Aztech drive). +--insert a CD-ROM and close the tray +--cold boot your PC (i.e. via the power on switch or the reset button) +--if you start Linux via DOS, e.g. using loadlin, make sure, that the DOS +- driver for the CD-ROM drive is not loaded (comment out the calling lines +- in DOS' config.sys!) +--look for the aztcd: init message during Linux init and note them exactly +--log in as root and do a mount -t iso9660 /dev/aztcd0 /mnt +--if you don't succeed in the first time, try several times. Try also to open +- and close the tray, then mount again. Please note carefully all commands +- you typed in and the aztcd-messages, which you get. +--if you get an 'Aztech CD-ROM init: aborted' message, read the remarks about +- the version string below. +- +-If this does not help, do the same with the following differences +--start DOS before; make now sure, that the DOS driver for the CD-ROM is +- loaded under DOS (i.e. uncomment it again in config.sys) +--warm boot your PC (i.e. via CTRL-ALT-DEL) +- if you have it, you can also start via loadlin (try both). +- ... +- Again note all commands and the aztcd-messages. +- +-If you see STEN_LOW or STEN_LOW_WAIT error messages, increase the timeout +-values. +- +-If this still does not help, +--look in aztcd.c for the lines #if 0 +- #define AZT_TEST1 +- ... +- #endif +- and substitute '#if 0' by '#if 1'. +--recompile your kernel and repeat the above two procedures. You will now get +- a bundle of debugging messages from the driver. Again note your commands +- and the appropriate messages. If you have syslogd running, these messages +- may also be found in syslogd's kernel log file. Nevertheless in some +- installations syslogd does not yet run, when init() is called, thus look for +- the aztcd-messages during init, before the login-prompt appears. +- Then look in aztcd.c, to find out, what happened. The normal calling sequence +- is: aztcd_init() during Linux bootup procedure init() +- after doing a 'mount -t iso9660 /dev/aztcd0 /mnt' the normal calling sequence is +- aztcd_open() -> Status 2c after cold reboot with CDROM or audio CD inserted +- -> Status 8 after warm reboot with CDROM inserted +- -> Status 2e after cold reboot with no disk, closed tray +- -> Status 6e after cold reboot, mount with door open +- aztUpdateToc() +- aztGetDiskInfo() +- aztGetQChannelInfo() repeated several times +- aztGetToc() +- aztGetQChannelInfo() repeated several times +- a list of track information +- do_aztcd_request() } +- azt_transfer() } repeated several times +- azt_poll } +- Check, if there is a difference in the calling sequence or the status flags! +- +- There are a lot of other messages, eg. the ACMD-command code (defined in +- aztcd.h), status info from the getAztStatus-command and the state sequence of +- the finite state machine in azt_poll(). The most important are the status +- messages, look how they are defined and try to understand, if they make +- sense in the context where they appear. With a CD-ROM inserted the status +- should always be 8, except in aztcd_open(). Try to open the tray, insert an +- audio disk, insert no disk or reinsert the CD-ROM and check, if the status +- bits change accordingly. The status bits are the most likely point, where +- the drive manufacturers may implement changes. +- +-If you still don't succeed, a good point to start is to look in aztcd.c in +-function aztcd_init, where the drive should be detected during init. Do the +-following: +--reboot the system with boot parameter 'aztcd=,0x79'. With +- parameter 0x79 most of the drive version detection is bypassed. After that +- you should see the complete version string including leading and trailing +- blanks during init. +- Now adapt the statement +- if ((result[1]=='A')&&(result[2]=='Z' ...) +- in aztcd_init() to exactly match the first 3 or 4 letters you have seen. +--Another point is the 'smart' card detection feature in aztcd_init(). Normally +- the CD-ROM drive is ready, when aztcd_init is trying to read the version +- string and a time consuming ACMD_SOFT_RESET command can be avoided. This is +- detected by looking, if AFL_OP_OK can be read correctly. If the CD-ROM drive +- hangs in some unknown state, e.g. because of an error before a warm start or +- because you first operated under DOS, even the version string may be correct, +- but the following commands will not. Then change the code in such a way, +- that the ACMD_SOFT_RESET is issued in any case, by substituting the +- if-statement 'if ( ...=AFL_OP_OK)' by 'if (1)'. +- +-If you succeed, please mail me the exact version string of your drive and +-the code modifications, you have made together with a short explanation. +-If you don't succeed, you may mail me the output of the debugging messages. +-But remember, they are only useful, if they are exact and complete and you +-describe in detail your hardware setup and what you did (cold/warm reboot, +-with/without DOS, DOS-driver started/not started, which Linux-commands etc.) +- +- +-9. TECHNICAL HISTORY OF THE DRIVER +-The AZTECH-Driver is a rework of the Mitsumi-Driver. Four major items had to +-be reworked: +- +-a) The Mitsumi drive does issue complete status information acknowledging +-each command, the Aztech drive does only signal that the command was +-processed. So whenever the complete status information is needed, an extra +-ACMD_GET_STATUS command is issued. The handshake procedure for the drive +-can be found in the functions aztSendCmd(), sendAztCmd() and getAztStatus(). +- +-b) The Aztech Drive does not have a ACMD_GET_DISK_INFO command, so the +-necessary info about the number of tracks (firstTrack, lastTrack), disk +-length etc. has to be read from the TOC in the lead in track (see function +-aztGetDiskInfo()). +- +-c) Whenever data is read from the drive, the Mitsumi drive is started with a +-command to read an indefinite (0xffffff) number of sectors. When the appropriate +-number of sectors is read, the drive is stopped by a ACDM_STOP command. This +-does not work with the Aztech drive. I did not find a way to stop it. The +-stop and pause commands do only work in AUDIO mode but not in DATA mode. +-Therefore I had to modify the 'finite state machine' in function azt_poll to +-only read a certain number of sectors and then start a new read on demand. As I +-have not completely understood, how the buffer/caching scheme of the Mitsumi +-driver was implemented, I am not sure, if I have covered all cases correctly, +-whenever you get timeout messages, the bug is most likely to be in that +-function azt_poll() around switch(cmd) .... case ACD_S_DATA. +- +-d) I did not get information about changing drive mode. So I doubt, that the +-code around function azt_poll() case AZT_S_MODE does work. In my test I have +-not been able to switch to reading in raw mode. For reading raw mode, Aztech +-uses a different command than for cooked mode, which I only have implemen- +-ted in the ioctl-section but not in the section which is used by the ISO9660. +- +-The driver was developed on an AST PC with Intel 486/DX2, 8MB RAM, 340MB IDE +-hard disk and on an AST PC with Intel Pentium 60MHz, 16MB RAM, 520MB IDE +-running Linux kernel version 1.0.9 from the LST 1.8 Distribution. The kernel +-was compiled with gcc.2.5.8. My CD-ROM drive is an Aztech CDA268-01A. My +-drive says, that it has Firmware Version AZT26801A1.3. It came with an ISA-bus +-interface card and works with polled I/O without DMA and without interrupts. +-The code for all other drives was 'remote' tested and debugged by a number of +-volunteers on the Internet. +- +-Points, where I feel that possible problems might be and all points where I +-did not completely understand the drive's behaviour or trust my own code are +-marked with /*???*/ in the source code. There are also some parts in the +-Mitsumi driver, where I did not completely understand their code. +- +- +-10. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS +-Without the help of P.Bush, Aztech, who delivered technical information +-about the Aztech Drive and without the help of E.Moenkeberg, GWDG, who did a +-great job in analyzing the command structure of various CD-ROM drives, this +-work would not have been possible. E.Moenkeberg was also a great help in +-making the software 'kernel ready' and in answering many of the CDROM-related +-questions in the newsgroups. He really is *the* Linux CD-ROM guru. Thanks +-also to all the guys on the Internet, who collected valuable technical +-information about CDROMs. +- +-Joe Nardone (joe@access.digex.net) was a patient tester even for my first +-trial, which was more than slow, and made suggestions for code improvement. +-Especially the 'finite state machine' azt_poll() was rewritten by Joe to get +-clean C code and avoid the ugly 'gotos', which I copied from mcd.c. +- +-Robby Schirmer (schirmer@fmi.uni-passau.de) tested the audio stuff (ioctls) +-and suggested a lot of patches for them. +- +-Joseph Piskor and Peter Nugent were the first users with the ORCHID CD3110 +-and also were very patient with the problems which occurred. +- +-Reinhard Max delivered the information for the CDROM-interface of the +-SoundWave32 soundcards. +- +-Jochen Kunz and Olaf Kaluza delivered the information for supporting Conrad's +-TXC drive. +- +-Hilmar Berger delivered the patches for supporting CyCDROM CR520ie. +- +-Anybody, who is interested in these items should have a look at 'ftp.gwdg.de', +-directory 'pub/linux/cdrom' and at 'ftp.cdrom.com', directory 'pub/cdrom'. +- +-11. PROGRAMMING ADD ONs: cdplay.c +-You can use the ioctl-functions included in aztcd.c in your own programs. As +-an example on how to do this, you will find a tiny CD Player for audio CDs +-named 'cdplay.c'. It allows you to play audio CDs. You can play a specified +-track, pause and resume or skip tracks forward and backwards. If you quit the +-program without stopping the drive, playing is continued. You can also +-(mis)use cdplay to read and hexdump data disks. You can find the code in the +-APPENDIX of this file, which you should cut out with an editor and store in a +-separate file 'cdplay.c'. To compile it and make it executable, do +- gcc -s -Wall -O2 -L/usr/lib cdplay.c -o /usr/local/bin/cdplay # compiles it +- chmod +755 /usr/local/bin/cdplay # makes it executable +- ln -s /dev/aztcd0 /dev/cdrom # creates a link +- (for /usr/lib substitute the top level directory, where your include files +- reside, and for /usr/local/bin the directory, where you want the executable +- binary to reside ) +- +-You have to set the correct permissions for cdplay *and* for /dev/mcd0 or +-/dev/aztcd0 in order to use it. Remember, that you should not have /dev/cdrom +-mounted, when you're playing audio CDs. +- +-This program is just a hack for testing the ioctl-functions in aztcd.c. I will +-not maintain it, so if you run into problems, discard it or have a look into +-the source code 'cdplay.c'. The program does only contain a minimum of user +-protection and input error detection. If you use the commands in the wrong +-order or if you try to read a CD at wrong addresses, you may get error messages +-or even hang your machine. If you get STEN_LOW, STEN_LOW_WAIT or segment violation +-error messages when using cdplay, after that, the system might not be stable +-any more, so you'd better reboot. As the ioctl-functions run in kernel mode, +-most normal Linux-multitasking protection features do not work. By using +-uninitialized 'wild' pointers etc., it is easy to write to other users' data +-and program areas, destroy kernel tables etc.. So if you experiment with ioctls +-as always when you are doing systems programming and kernel hacking, you +-should have a backup copy of your system in a safe place (and you also +-should try restoring from a backup copy first)! +- +-A reworked and improved version called 'cdtester.c', which has yet more +-features for testing CDROM-drives can be found in +-Documentation/cdrom/sbpcd, written by E.Moenkeberg. +- +-Werner Zimmermann +-Fachhochschule fuer Technik Esslingen +-(EMail: Werner.Zimmermann@fht-esslingen.de) +-October, 1997 +- +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +-APPENDIX: Source code of cdplay.c +- +-/* Tiny Audio CD Player +- +- Copyright 1994, 1995, 1996 Werner Zimmermann (Werner.Zimmermann@fht-esslingen.de) +- +-This program originally was written to test the audio functions of the +-AZTECH.CDROM-driver, but it should work with every CD-ROM drive.

It +-used to just probe memory and attempt commands, but Linus wisely asked +-me to remove that because it could really screw up other hardware in +-the system. +- +-Because of this, you must tell the kernel where the drive interface +-is, what interrupts are used, and possibly if you are on a PAS-16 +-soundcard. +- +-If you have the Sony CDU31A/CDU33A drive interface card, the following +-diagram will help you set it up. If you have another card, you are on +-your own. You need to make sure that the I/O address and interrupt is +-not used by another card in the system.

You have to +-specify the type "SBPRO 2" and the true CDROM port address with it, not the +-"configuration port" address. +- +-If you have a sound card which needs a "configuration driver" instead of +-jumpers for interface types and addresses (like Mozart cards) - those +-drivers get invoked before the DOS CDROM driver in your CONFIG.SYS, typical +-names are "cdsetup.sys" and "mztinit.sys" - let the sound driver do the +-CDROM port configuration (the leading comments in linux/drivers/sound/mad16.c +-are just for you!). Hannu Savolainen's mad16.c code is able to set up my +-Mozart card - I simply had to add +- #define MAD16_CONF 0x06 +- #define MAD16_CDSEL 0x03 +-to configure the CDROM interface for type "Panasonic" (LaserMate) and address +-0x340. +- +-The interface type has to get configured in linux/drivers/cdrom/sbpcd.h, +-because the register layout is different between the "SoundBlaster" and the +-"LaserMate" type. +- +-I got a report that the Teac interface card "I/F E117098" is of type +-"SoundBlaster" (i.e. you have to set SBPRO to 1) even with the addresses +-0x300 and above. This is unusual, and it can't get covered by the auto +-probing scheme. +-The Teac 16-bit interface cards (like P/N E950228-00A, default address 0x2C0) +-need the SBPRO 3 setup. +- +-If auto-probing found the drive, the address is correct. The reported type +-may be wrong. A "mount" will give success only if the interface type is set +-right. Playing audio should work with a wrong set interface type, too. +- +-With some Teac and some CD200 drives I have seen interface cards which seem +-to lack the "drive select" lines; always drive 0 gets addressed. To avoid +-"mirror drives" (four drives detected where you only have one) with such +-interface cards, set MAX_DRIVES to 1 and jumper your drive to ID 0 (if +-possible). +- +- +-Up to 4 drives per interface card, and up to 4 interface cards are supported. +-All supported drive families can be mixed, but the CR-521 drives are +-hard-wired to drive ID 0. The drives have to use different drive IDs, and each +-drive has to get a unique minor number (0...3), corresponding indirectly to +-its drive ID. +-The drive IDs may be selected freely from 0 to 3 - they do not have to be in +-consecutive order. +- +-As Don Carroll, don@ds9.us.dell.com or FIDO 1:382/14, told me, it is possible +-to change old drives to any ID, too. He writes in this sense: +- "In order to be able to use more than one single speed drive +- (they do not have the ID jumpers) you must add a DIP switch +- and two resistors. The pads are already on the board next to +- the power connector. You will see the silkscreen for the +- switch if you remove the top cover. +- 1 2 3 4 +- ID 0 = x F F x O = "on" +- ID 1 = x O F x F = "off" +- ID 2 = x F O x x = "don't care" +- ID 3 = x O O x +- Next to the switch are the positions for R76 (7k) and R78 +- (12k). I had to play around with the resistor values - ID 3 +- did not work with other values. If the values are not good, +- ID 3 behaves like ID 0." +- +-To use more than 4 drives, you simply need a second controller card at a +-different address and a second cable. +- +-The driver supports reading of data from the CD and playing of audio tracks. +-The audio part should run with WorkMan, xcdplayer, with the "non-X11" products +-CDplayer and WorkBone - tell me if it is not compatible with other software. +-The only accepted measure for correctness with the audio functions is the +-"cdtester" utility (appended) - most audio player programmers seem to be +-better musicians than programmers. ;-) +- +-With the CR-56x and the CD200 drives, the reading of audio frames is possible. +-This is implemented by an IOCTL function which reads READ_AUDIO frames of +-2352 bytes at once (configurable with the "READ_AUDIO" define, default is 0). +-Reading the same frame a second time gives different data; the frame data +-start at a different position, but all read bytes are valid, and we always +-read 98 consecutive chunks (of 24 Bytes) as a frame. Reading more than 1 frame +-at once possibly misses some chunks at each frame boundary. This lack has to +-get corrected by external, "higher level" software which reads the same frame +-again and tries to find and eliminate overlapping chunks (24-byte-pieces). +- +-The transfer rate with reading audio (1-frame-pieces) currently is very slow. +-This can be better reading bigger chunks, but the "missing" chunks possibly +-occur at the beginning of each single frame. +-The software interface possibly may change a bit the day the SCSI driver +-supports it too. +- +-With all but the CR-52x drives, MultiSession is supported. +-Photo CDs work (the "old" drives like CR-521 can access only the first +-session of a photoCD). +-At ftp.gwdg.de:/pub/linux/hpcdtoppm/ you will find Hadmut Danisch's package to +-convert photo CD image files and Gerd Knorr's viewing utility. +- +-The transfer rate will reach 150 kB/sec with CR-52x drives, 300 kB/sec with +-CR-56x drives, and currently not more than 500 kB/sec (usually less than +-250 kB/sec) with the Teac quad speed drives. +-XA (PhotoCD) disks with "old" drives give only 50 kB/sec. +- +-This release consists of +-- this README file +-- the driver file linux/drivers/cdrom/sbpcd.c +-- the stub files linux/drivers/cdrom/sbpcd[234].c +-- the header file linux/drivers/cdrom/sbpcd.h. +- +- +-To install: +------------ +- +-1. Setup your hardware parameters. Though the driver does "auto-probing" at a +- lot of (not all possible!) addresses, this step is recommended for +- everyday use. You should let sbpcd auto-probe once and use the reported +- address if a drive got found. The reported type may be incorrect; it is +- correct if you can mount a data CD. There is no choice for you with the +- type; only one is right, the others are deadly wrong. +- +- a. Go into /usr/src/linux/drivers/cdrom/sbpcd.h and configure it for your +- hardware (near the beginning): +- a1. Set it up for the appropriate type of interface board. +- "Original" CreativeLabs sound cards need "SBPRO 1". +- Most "compatible" sound cards (almost all "non-CreativeLabs" cards) +- need "SBPRO 0". +- The "no-sound" board from OmniCd needs the "SBPRO 1" setup. +- The Teac 8-bit "no-sound" boards need the "SBPRO 1" setup. +- The Teac 16-bit "no-sound" boards need the "SBPRO 3" setup. +- All other "no-sound" boards need the "SBPRO 0" setup. +- The Spea Media FX and Ensoniq SoundScape cards need "SBPRO 2". +- sbpcd.c holds some examples in its auto-probe list. +- If you configure "SBPRO" wrong, the playing of audio CDs will work, +- but you will not be able to mount a data CD. +- a2. Tell the address of your CDROM_PORT (not of the sound port). +- a3. If 4 drives get found, but you have only one, set MAX_DRIVES to 1. +- a4. Set DISTRIBUTION to 0. +- b. Additionally for 2.a1 and 2.a2, the setup may be done during +- boot time (via the "kernel command line" or "LILO option"): +- sbpcd=0x320,LaserMate +- or +- sbpcd=0x230,SoundBlaster +- or +- sbpcd=0x338,SoundScape +- or +- sbpcd=0x2C0,Teac16bit +- This is especially useful if you install a fresh distribution. +- If the second parameter is a number, it gets taken as the type +- setting; 0 is "LaserMate", 1 is "SoundBlaster", 2 is "SoundScape", +- 3 is "Teac16bit". +- So, for example +- sbpcd=0x230,1 +- is equivalent to +- sbpcd=0x230,SoundBlaster +- +-2. "cd /usr/src/linux" and do a "make config" and select "y" for Matsushita +- CD-ROM support and for ISO9660 FileSystem support. If you do not have a +- second, third, or fourth controller installed, do not say "y" to the +- secondary Matsushita CD-ROM questions. +- +-3. Then make the kernel image ("make zlilo" or similar). +- +-4. Make the device file(s). This step usually already has been done by the +- MAKEDEV script. +- The driver uses MAJOR 25, so, if necessary, do +- mknod /dev/sbpcd b 25 0 (if you have only one drive) +- and/or +- mknod /dev/sbpcd0 b 25 0 +- mknod /dev/sbpcd1 b 25 1 +- mknod /dev/sbpcd2 b 25 2 +- mknod /dev/sbpcd3 b 25 3 +- to make the node(s). +- +- The "first found" drive gets MINOR 0 (regardless of its jumpered ID), the +- "next found" (at the same cable) gets MINOR 1, ... +- +- For a second interface board, you have to make nodes like +- mknod /dev/sbpcd4 b 26 0 +- mknod /dev/sbpcd5 b 26 1 +- and so on. Use the MAJORs 26, 27, 28. +- +- If you further make a link like +- ln -s sbpcd /dev/cdrom +- you can use the name /dev/cdrom, too. +- +-5. Reboot with the new kernel. +- +-You should now be able to do +- mkdir /CD +-and +- mount -rt iso9660 /dev/sbpcd /CD +-or +- mount -rt iso9660 -o block=2048 /dev/sbpcd /CD +-and see the contents of your CD in the /CD directory. +-To use audio CDs, a mounting is not recommended (and it would fail if the +-first track is not a data track). +- +- +-Using sbpcd as a "loadable module": +------------------------------------ +- +-If you do NOT select "Matsushita/Panasonic CDROM driver support" during the +-"make config" of your kernel, you can build the "loadable module" sbpcd.o. +- +-If sbpcd gets used as a module, the support of more than one interface +-card (i.e. drives 4...15) is disabled. +- +-You can specify interface address and type with the "insmod" command like: +- # insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/sbpcd.o sbpcd=0x340,0 +-or +- # insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/sbpcd.o sbpcd=0x230,1 +-or +- # insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/sbpcd.o sbpcd=0x338,2 +-where the last number represents the SBPRO setting (no strings allowed here). +- +- +-Things of interest: +-------------------- +- +-The driver is configured to try the LaserMate type of interface at I/O port +-0x0340 first. If this is not appropriate, sbpcd.h should get changed +-(you will find the right place - just at the beginning). +- +-No DMA and no IRQ is used. +- +-To reduce or increase the amount of kernel messages, edit sbpcd.c and play +-with the "DBG_xxx" switches (initialization of the variable "sbpcd_debug"). +-Don't forget to reflect on what you do; enabling all DBG_xxx switches at once +-may crash your system, and each message line is accompanied by a delay. +- +-The driver uses the "variable BLOCK_SIZE" feature. To use it, you have to +-specify "block=2048" as a mount option. Doing this will disable the direct +-execution of a binary from the CD; you have to copy it to a device with the +-standard BLOCK_SIZE (1024) first. So, do not use this if your system is +-directly "running from the CDROM" (like some of Yggdrasil's installation +-variants). There are CDs on the market (like the German "unifix" Linux +-distribution) which MUST get handled with a block_size of 1024. Generally, +-one can say all the CDs which hold files of the name YMTRANS.TBL are defective; +-do not use block=2048 with those. +- +-Within sbpcd.h, you will find some "#define"s (e.g. EJECT and JUKEBOX). With +-these, you can configure the driver for some special things. +-You can use the appended program "cdtester" to set the auto-eject feature +-during runtime. Jeff Tranter's "eject" utility can do this, too (and more) +-for you. +- +-There is an ioctl CDROMMULTISESSION to obtain with a user program if +-the CD is an XA disk and - if it is - where the last session starts. The +-"cdtester" program illustrates how to call it. +- +- +-Auto-probing at boot time: +--------------------------- +- +-The driver does auto-probing at many well-known interface card addresses, +-but not all: +-Some probings can cause a hang if an NE2000 ethernet card gets touched, because +-SBPCD's auto-probing happens before the initialization of the net drivers. +-Those "hazardous" addresses are excluded from auto-probing; the "kernel +-command line" feature has to be used during installation if you have your +-drive at those addresses. The "module" version is allowed to probe at those +-addresses, too. +- +-The auto-probing looks first at the configured address resp. the address +-submitted by the kernel command line. With this, it is possible to use this +-driver within installation boot floppies, and for any non-standard address, +-too. +- +-Auto-probing will make an assumption about the interface type ("SBPRO" or not), +-based upon the address. That assumption may be wrong (initialization will be +-o.k., but you will get I/O errors during mount). In that case, use the "kernel +-command line" feature and specify address & type at boot time to find out the +-right setup. +- +-For everyday use, address and type should get configured within sbpcd.h. That +-will stop the auto-probing due to success with the first try. +- +-The kernel command "sbpcd=0" suppresses each auto-probing and causes +-the driver not to find any drive; it is meant for people who love sbpcd +-so much that they do not want to miss it, even if they miss the drives. ;-) +- +-If you configure "#define CDROM_PORT 0" in sbpcd.h, the auto-probing is +-initially disabled and needs an explicit kernel command to get activated. +-Once activated, it does not stop before success or end-of-list. This may be +-useful within "universal" CDROM installation boot floppies (but using the +-loadable module would be better because it allows an "extended" auto-probing +-without fearing NE2000 cards). +- +-To shorten the auto-probing list to a single entry, set DISTRIBUTION 0 within +-sbpcd.h. +- +- +-Setting up address and interface type: +--------------------------------------- +- +-If your I/O port address is not 0x340, you have to look for the #defines near +-the beginning of sbpcd.h and configure them: set SBPRO to 0 or 1 or 2, and +-change CDROM_PORT to the address of your CDROM I/O port. +- +-Almost all of the "SoundBlaster compatible" cards behave like the no-sound +-interfaces, i.e. need SBPRO 0! +- +-With "original" SB Pro cards, an initial setting of CD_volume through the +-sound card's MIXER register gets done. +-If you are using a "compatible" sound card of types "LaserMate" or "SPEA", +-you can set SOUND_BASE (in sbpcd.h) to get it done with your card, too... +- +- +-Using audio CDs: +----------------- +- +-Workman, WorkBone, xcdplayer, cdplayer and the nice little tool "cdplay" (see +-README.aztcd from the Aztech driver package) should work. +- +-The program CDplayer likes to talk to "/dev/mcd" only, xcdplayer wants +-"/dev/rsr0", workman loves "/dev/sr0" or "/dev/cdrom" - so, make the +-appropriate links to use them without the need to supply parameters. +- +- +-Copying audio tracks: +---------------------- +- +-The following program will copy track 1 (or a piece of it) from an audio CD +-into the file "track01": +- +-/*=================== begin program ========================================*/ +-/* +- * read an audio track from a CD +- * +- * (c) 1994 Eberhard Moenkeberg +- * may be used & enhanced freely +- * +- * Due to non-existent sync bytes at the beginning of each audio frame (or due +- * to a firmware bug within all known drives?), it is currently a kind of +- * fortune if two consecutive frames fit together. +- * Usually, they overlap, or a little piece is missing.

This is +-one of the older Sony drives with its own interface card (Sony bus). +-The DOS driver for this drive is named SONY_CDU.SYS - when you boot DOS +-your drive should be identified as a SONY CDU-535. The driver works +-with a CDU-531 also. One user reported that the driver worked on drives +-OEM'ed by Procomm, drive and interface board were labelled Procomm. +- +-The Linux driver is based on Corey Minyard's sonycd 0.3 driver for +-the CDU-31A. Ron Jeppesen just changed the commands that were sent +-to the drive to correspond to the CDU-535 commands and registers. +-There were enough changes to let bugs creep in but it seems to be stable. +-Ron was able to tar an entire CDROM (should read all blocks) and built +-ghostview and xfig off Walnut Creek's X11R5/GNU CDROM. xcdplayer and +-workman work with the driver. Others have used the driver without +-problems except those dealing with wait loops (fixed in third release). +-Like Minyard's original driver this one uses a polled interface (this +-is also the default setup for the DOS driver). It has not been tried +-with interrupts or DMA enabled on the board. +- +-REQUIREMENTS +-============ +- +- - Sony CDU-535 drive, preferably without interrupts and DMA +- enabled on the card. +- +- - Drive must be set up as unit 1. Only the first unit will be +- recognized +- +- - You must enter your interface address into +- /usr/src/linux/drivers/cdrom/sonycd535.h and build the +- appropriate kernel or use the "kernel command line" parameter +- sonycd535=0x320 +- with the correct interface address. +- +-NOTES: +-====== +- +-1) The drive MUST be turned on when booting or it will not be recognized! +- (but see comments on modularized version below) +- +-2) when the cdrom device is opened the eject button is disabled to keep the +- user from ejecting a mounted disk and replacing it with another. +- Unfortunately xcdplayer and workman also open the cdrom device so you +- have to use the eject button in the software. Keep this in mind if your +- cdrom player refuses to give up its disk -- exit workman or xcdplayer, or +- umount the drive if it has been mounted. +- +-THANKS +-====== +- +-Many thanks to Ron Jeppesen (ronj.an@site007.saic.com) for getting +-this project off the ground. He wrote the initial release +-and the first two patches to this driver (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3). +-Thanks also to Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de) for prodding +-me to place this code into the mainstream Linux source tree +-(as of Linux version 1.1.91), as well as some patches to make +-it a better device citizen. Further thanks to Joel Katz +- for his MODULE patches (see details below), +-Porfiri Claudio for patches +-to make the driver work with the older CDU-510/515 series, and +-Heiko Eissfeldt for pointing out that +-the verify_area() checks were ignoring the results of said checks +-(note: verify_area() has since been replaced by access_ok()). +- +-(Acknowledgments from Ron Jeppesen in the 0.3 release:) +-Thanks to Corey Minyard who wrote the original CDU-31A driver on which +-this driver is based.

新しいカーネルがリリースされた直後に、2週間の特別期間が設けられ、 ++ この期間中に、メンテナー達は Linus に大きな差分を送ることができま ++ す。このような差分は通常 -mm カーネルに数週間含まれてきたパッチで ++ す。 大きな変更は git(カーネルのソース管理ツール、詳細は ++ http://git.or.cz/ 参照) を使って送るのが好ましいやり方ですが、パッ ++ チファイルの形式のまま送るのでも十分です。 ++ ++ - 2週間後、-rc1 カーネルがリリースされ、この後にはカーネル全体の安定 ++ 性に影響をあたえるような新機能は含まない類のパッチしか取り込むこと ++ はできません。新しいドライバ(もしくはファイルシステム)のパッチは ++ -rc1 の後で受け付けられることもあることを覚えておいてください。な ++ ぜなら、変更が独立していて、追加されたコードの外の領域に影響を与え ++ ない限り、退行のリスクは無いからです。-rc1 がリリースされた後、 ++ Linus へパッチを送付するのに git を使うこともできますが、パッチは ++ レビューのために、パブリックなメーリングリストへも同時に送る必要が ++ あります。 ++ ++ - 新しい -rc は Linus が、最新の git ツリーがテスト目的であれば十分 ++ に安定した状態にあると判断したときにリリースされます。目標は毎週新 ++ しい -rc カーネルをリリースすることです。 ++ ++ - このプロセスはカーネルが 「準備ができた」と考えられるまで継続しま ++ す。このプロセスはだいたい 6週間継続します。 ++ ++Andrew Morton が Linux-kernel メーリングリストにカーネルリリースについ ++て書いたことをここで言っておくことは価値があります- ++ 「カーネルがいつリリースされるかは誰も知りません。なぜなら、これは現 ++ 実に認識されたバグの状況によりリリースされるのであり、前もって決めら ++ れた計画によってリリースされるものではないからです。」 ++ ++2.6.x.y -stable カーネルツリー ++--------------------------- ++ ++バージョンに4つ目の数字がついたカーネルは -stable カーネルです。これに ++は、2.6.x カーネルで見つかったセキュリティ問題や重大な後戻りに対する比 ++較的小さい重要な修正が含まれます。 ++ ++これは、開発/実験的バージョンのテストに協力することに興味が無く、 ++最新の安定したカーネルを使いたいユーザに推奨するブランチです。 ++ ++もし、2.6.x.y カーネルが存在しない場合には、番号が一番大きい 2.6.x ++が最新の安定版カーネルです。 ++ ++2.6.x.y は "stable" チーム でメンテされており、だ ++いたい隔週でリリースされています。 ++ ++カーネルツリーに入っている、Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt ファ ++イルにはどのような種類の変更が -stable ツリーに受け入れ可能か、またリ ++リースプロセスがどう動くかが記述されています。 ++ ++2.6.x -git パッチ ++------------------ ++ ++git リポジトリで管理されているLinus のカーネルツリーの毎日のスナップ ++ショットがあります。(だから -git という名前がついています)。これらのパッ ++チはおおむね毎日リリースされており、Linus のツリーの現状を表します。こ ++れは -rc カーネルと比べて、パッチが大丈夫かどうかも確認しないで自動的 ++に生成されるので、より実験的です。 ++ ++2.6.x -mm カーネルパッチ ++------------------------ ++ ++Andrew Morton によってリリースされる実験的なカーネルパッチ群です。 ++Andrew は個別のサブシステムカーネルツリーとパッチを全て集めてきて ++linux-kernel メーリングリストで収集された多数のパッチと同時に一つにま ++とめます。 ++このツリーは新機能とパッチが検証される場となります。ある期間の間パッチ ++が -mm に入って価値を証明されたら、Andrew やサブシステムメンテナが、メ ++インラインへ入れるように Linus にプッシュします。 ++ ++メインカーネルツリーに含めるために Linus に送る前に、すべての新しいパッ ++チが -mm ツリーでテストされることが強く推奨されます。 ++ ++これらのカーネルは安定して動作すべきシステムとして使うのには適切ではあ ++りませんし、カーネルブランチの中でももっとも動作にリスクが高いものです。 ++ ++もしあなたが、カーネル開発プロセスの支援をしたいと思っているのであれば、 ++どうぞこれらのカーネルリリースをテストに使ってみて、そしてもし問題があ ++れば、またもし全てが正しく動作したとしても、linux-kernel メーリングリ ++ストにフィードバックを提供してください。 ++ ++すべての他の実験的パッチに加えて、これらのカーネルは通常リリース時点で ++メインラインの -git カーネルに含まれる全ての変更も含んでいます。 ++ ++-mm カーネルは決まったスケジュールではリリースされません、しかし通常幾 ++つかの -mm カーネル (1 から 3 が普通）が各-rc カーネルの間にリリースさ ++れます。 ++ ++サブシステム毎のカーネルツリーとパッチ ++------------------------------------------- ++ ++カーネルの様々な領域で何が起きているかを見られるようにするため、多くの ++カーネルサブシステム開発者は彼らの開発ツリーを公開しています。これらの ++ツリーは説明したように -mm カーネルリリースに入れ込まれます。 ++ ++以下はさまざまなカーネルツリーの中のいくつかのリスト- ++ ++ git ツリー- ++ -

"これは複数の問題を解決します" ++ - "これは2000行のコードを削除します" ++ - "以下のパッチは、私が言おうとしていることを説明するものです" ++ - "私はこれを5つの異なるアーキテクチャでテストしたのですが..." ++ - "以下は一連の小さなパッチ群ですが..." ++ - "これは典型的なマシンでの性能を向上させます.." ++ ++ やめた方がいい悪い言い方： ++ ++ -

私は現在のぐちゃぐちゃを全部書き直した、それが以下です... ++ - 私は〆切がある、そのためこのパッチは今すぐ適用される必要がある ++ ++カーネルコミュニティが大部分の伝統的なソフトウェアエンジニアリングの労 ++働環境と異なるもう一つの点は、やりとりに顔を合わせないということです。 ++email と irc を第一のコミュニケーションの形とする一つの利点は、性別や ++民族の差別がないことです。Linux カーネルの職場環境は女性や少数民族を受 ++容します。なぜなら、email アドレスによってのみあなたが認識されるからで ++す。 ++国際的な側面からも活動領域を均等にするようにします。なぜならば、あなた ++は人の名前で性別を想像できないからです。ある男性が アンドレアという名 ++前で、女性の名前は パット かもしれません (訳注 Andrea は米国では女性、 ++それ以外(欧州など)では男性名として使われることが多い。同様に、Pat は ++Patricia (主に女性名)や Patrick (主に男性名)の略称)。 ++Linux カーネルの活動をして、意見を表明したことがある大部分の女性は、前 ++向きな経験をもっています。 ++ ++言葉の壁は英語が得意でない一部の人には問題になります。 ++メーリングリストの中できちんとアイディアを交換するには、相当うまく英語 ++を操れる必要があることもあります。そのため、あなたは自分のメール ++を送る前に英語で意味が通じているかをチェックすることをお薦めします。 ++ ++変更を分割する ++--------------------- ++ ++Linux カーネルコミュニティは、一度に大量のコードの塊を喜んで受容するこ ++とはありません。変更は正確に説明される必要があり、議論され、小さい、個 ++別の部分に分割する必要があります。これはこれまで多くの会社がやり慣れて ++きたことと全く正反対のことです。あなたのプロポーザルは、開発プロセスのと ++ても早い段階から紹介されるべきです。そうすれば あなたは自分のやってい ++ることにフィードバックを得られます。これは、コミュニティからみれば、あ ++なたが彼らと一緒にやっているように感じられ、単にあなたの提案する機能の ++ゴミ捨て場として使っているのではない、と感じられるでしょう。 ++しかし、一度に 50 もの email をメーリングリストに送りつけるようなことは ++やってはいけません、あなたのパッチ群はいつもどんな時でもそれよりは小さ ++くなければなりません。 ++ ++パッチを分割する理由は以下です- ++ ++1) 小さいパッチはあなたのパッチが適用される見込みを大きくします、カー ++ ネルの人達はパッチが正しいかどうかを確認する時間や労力をかけないか ++ らです。5行のパッチはメンテナがたった1秒見るだけで適用できます。し ++ かし、500行のパッチは、正しいことをレビューするのに数時間かかるかも ++ しれません(時間はパッチのサイズなどにより指数関数に比例してかかりま ++ す) ++ 小さいパッチは何かあったときにデバッグもとても簡単になります。パッ ++ チを1個1個取り除くのは、とても大きなパッチを当てた後に(かつ、何かお ++ かしくなった後で)解剖するのに比べればとても簡単です。 ++ ++2) 小さいパッチを送るだけでなく、送るまえに、書き直して、シンプルにす ++ る(もしくは、単に順番を変えるだけでも)ことも、とても重要です。 ++ ++以下はカーネル開発者の Al Viro のたとえ話しです： ++ ++ "生徒の数学の宿題を採点する先生のことを考えてみてください、先 ++ 生は生徒が解に到達するまでの試行錯誤をみたいとは思わないでしょ ++ う。先生は簡潔な最高の解をみたいのです。良い生徒はこれを知って ++ おり、そして最終解の前の中間作業を提出することは決してないので ++ す" ++ カーネル開発でもこれは同じです。メンテナー達とレビューア達は、 ++ 問題を解決する解の背後になる思考プロセスをみたいとは思いません。 ++ 彼らは単純であざやかな解決方法をみたいのです。 ++ ++あざやかな解を説明するのと、コミュニティと共に仕事をし、未解決の仕事を ++議論することのバランスをキープするのは難しいかもしれません。 ++ですから、開発プロセスの早期段階で改善のためのフィードバックをもらうよ ++うにするのもいいですが、変更点を小さい部分に分割して全体ではまだ完成し ++ていない仕事を(部分的に)取り込んでもらえるようにすることもいいことです。 ++ ++また、でき上がっていないものや、"将来直す" ようなパッチを、本流に含め ++てもらうように送っても、それは受け付けられないことを理解してください。 ++ ++あなたの変更を正当化する ++------------------- ++ ++あなたのパッチを分割するのと同時に、なぜその変更を追加しなければならな ++いかを Linux コミュニティに知らせることはとても重要です。新機能は必要 ++性と有用性で正当化されなければなりません。 ++ ++あなたの変更の説明 ++-------------------- ++ ++あなたのパッチを送付する場合には、メールの中のテキストで何を言うかにつ ++いて、特別に注意を払ってください。この情報はパッチの ChangeLog に使わ ++れ、いつも皆がみられるように保管されます。これは次のような項目を含め、 ++パッチを完全に記述するべきです- ++ ++ - なぜ変更が必要か ++ - パッチ全体の設計アプローチ ++ - 実装の詳細 ++ - テスト結果 ++ ++これについて全てがどのようにあるべきかについての詳細は、以下のドキュメ ++ントの ChangeLog セクションをみてください- ++ "The Perfect Patch" ++ http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/tpp.txt ++ ++これらのどれもが、時にはとても困難です。これらの慣例を完璧に実施するに ++は数年かかるかもしれません。これは継続的な改善のプロセスであり、そのた ++めには多数の忍耐と決意を必要とするものです。でも、諦めないで、これは可 ++能なことです。多数の人がすでにできていますし、彼らも皆最初はあなたと同 ++じところからスタートしたのですから。 ++ ++Paolo Ciarrocchi に感謝、彼は彼の書いた "Development Process" ++(http://linux.tar.bz/articles/2.6-development_process)セクショ ++ンをこのテキストの原型にすることを許可してくれました。 ++Rundy Dunlap と Gerrit Huizenga はメーリングリストでやるべきこととやっ ++てはいけないことのリストを提供してくれました。 ++以下の人々のレビュー、コメント、貢献に感謝。 ++Pat Mochel, Hanna Linder, Randy Dunlap, Kay Sievers, ++Vojtech Pavlik, Jan Kara, Josh Boyer, Kees Cook, Andrew Morton, Andi ++Kleen, Vadim Lobanov, Jesper Juhl, Adrian Bunk, Keri Harris, Frans Pop, ++David A.

あなたが使用するＣコンパイラのバージョンによって、カーネル内部 ++ の構造体の配置構造は異なったものになる。また、関数は異なった方 ++ 法でカーネルに含まれることになるかもしれない（例えばインライン ++ 関数として扱われたり、扱われなかったりする）。個々の関数がどの ++ ようにコンパイルされるかはそれほど重要ではないが、構造体のパデ ++ ィングが異なるというのは非常に重要である。 ++ - あなたがカーネルのビルドオプションをどのように設定するかによっ ++ て、カーネルには広い範囲で異なった事態が起こり得る。 ++ - データ構造は異なるデータフィールドを持つかもしれない ++ - いくつかの関数は全く実装されていない状態になり得る ++ （例：SMP向けではないビルドでは、いくつかのロックは中身が ++ カラにコンパイルされる） ++ - カーネル内のメモリは、異なった方法で配置され得る。これはビ ++ ルドオプションに依存している。 ++ - Linux は様々な異なるプロセッサアーキテクチャ上で動作する。 ++ あるアーキテクチャ用のバイナリドライバを、他のアーキテクチャで ++ 正常に動作させる方法はない。 ++ ++ ++ある特定のカーネル設定を使用し、カーネルをビルドしたのと正確に同じ ++Ｃコンパイラを使用して単にカーネルモジュールをコンパイルするだけで ++も、あなたはこれらいくつもの問題に直面することになる。ある特定の ++Linux ディストリビューションの、ある特定のリリースバージョン用にモ ++ジュールを提供しようと思っただけでも、これらの問題を引き起こすには ++十分である。にも関わらず Linux ディストリビューションの数と、サ ++ポートするディストリビューションのリリース数を掛け算し、それら一つ ++一つについてビルドを行ったとしたら、今度はリリースごとのビルドオプ ++ションの違いという悪夢にすぐさま悩まされることになる。また、ディス ++トリビューションの各リリースバージョンには、異なるハードウェア（プ ++ロセッサタイプや種々のオプション）に対応するため、何種類かのカーネ ++ルが含まれているということも理解して欲しい。従って、ある一つのリ ++リースバージョンだけのためにモジュールを作成する場合でも、あなたは ++何バージョンものモジュールを用意しなければならない。 ++ ++ ++信じて欲しい。このような方法でサポートを続けようとするなら、あなた ++はいずれ正気を失うだろう。遠い昔、私はそれがいかに困難なことか、身 ++をもって学んだのだ・・・ ++ ++ ++不変のカーネルソースレベルインターフェース ++------------------------------------------ ++ ++メインカーネルツリーに含まれていない Linux カーネルドライバを継続 ++してサポートしていこうとしている人たちとの議論においては、これは極 ++めて「引火性の高い」話題である。[訳注(2)] ++ ++訳注(2) ++「引火性の高い」の原文は "volatile"。 ++volatile には「揮発性の」「爆発しやすい」という意味の他、「変わり ++やすい」「移り気な」という意味がある。 ++「（この話題は）爆発的に激しい論争を巻き起こしかねない」ということ ++を、「（カーネルのソースレベルインターフェースは）移ろい行くもので ++ある」ということを連想させる "volatile" という単語で表現している。 ++ ++ ++Linux カーネルの開発は継続的に速いペースで行われ、決して歩みを緩め ++ることがない。その中でカーネル開発者達は、現状のインターフェースに ++あるバグを見つけ、より良い方法を考え出す。彼らはやがて、現状のイン ++ターフェースがより正しく動作するように修正を行う。その過程で関数の ++名前は変更されるかもしれず、構造体は大きく、または小さくなるかもし ++れず、関数の引数は検討しなおされるかもしれない。そのような場合、引 ++き続き全てが正常に動作するよう、カーネル内でこれらのインターフェー ++スを使用している個所も全て同時に修正される。 ++ ++ ++具体的な例として、カーネル内の USB インターフェースを挙げる。USB ++サブシステムはこれまでに少なくとも３回の書き直しが行われ、その結果 ++インターフェースが変更された。これらの書き直しはいくつかの異なった ++問題を修正するために行われた。 ++ -

L2TP is a protocol that tunnels one or ++more PPP sessions over a UDP tunnel. It is commonly used for VPNs ++(L2TP/IPSec) and by ISPs to tunnel subscriber PPP sessions over an IP ++network infrastructure. ++ ++Design ++====== ++ ++The PPPoL2TP driver, drivers/net/pppol2tp.c, provides a mechanism by ++which PPP frames carried through an L2TP session are passed through ++the kernel's PPP subsystem. The standard PPP daemon, pppd, handles all ++PPP interaction with the peer. PPP network interfaces are created for ++each local PPP endpoint. ++ ++The L2TP protocol http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2661.html defines L2TP ++control and data frames. L2TP control frames carry messages between ++L2TP clients/servers and are used to setup / teardown tunnels and ++sessions. An L2TP client or server is implemented in userspace and ++will use a regular UDP socket per tunnel. L2TP data frames carry PPP ++frames, which may be PPP control or PPP data. The kernel's PPP ++subsystem arranges for PPP control frames to be delivered to pppd, ++while data frames are forwarded as usual. ++ ++Each tunnel and session within a tunnel is assigned a unique tunnel_id ++and session_id. These ids are carried in the L2TP header of every ++control and data packet. The pppol2tp driver uses them to lookup ++internal tunnel and/or session contexts. Zero tunnel / session ids are ++treated specially - zero ids are never assigned to tunnels or sessions ++in the network. In the driver, the tunnel context keeps a pointer to ++the tunnel UDP socket. The session context keeps a pointer to the ++PPPoL2TP socket, as well as other data that lets the driver interface ++to the kernel PPP subsystem. ++ ++Note that the pppol2tp kernel driver handles only L2TP data frames; ++L2TP control frames are simply passed up to userspace in the UDP ++tunnel socket. The kernel handles all datapath aspects of the ++protocol, including data packet resequencing (if enabled). ++ ++There are a number of requirements on the userspace L2TP daemon in ++order to use the pppol2tp driver. ++ ++1. Use a UDP socket per tunnel. ++ ++2. Create a single PPPoL2TP socket per tunnel bound to a special null ++ session id. This is used only for communicating with the driver but ++ must remain open while the tunnel is active. Opening this tunnel ++ management socket causes the driver to mark the tunnel socket as an ++ L2TP UDP encapsulation socket and flags it for use by the ++ referenced tunnel id. This hooks up the UDP receive path via ++ udp_encap_rcv() in net/ipv4/udp.c. PPP data frames are never passed ++ in this special PPPoX socket. ++ ++3. Create a PPPoL2TP socket per L2TP session. This is typically done ++ by starting pppd with the pppol2tp plugin and appropriate ++ arguments. A PPPoL2TP tunnel management socket (Step 2) must be ++ created before the first PPPoL2TP session socket is created. ++ ++When creating PPPoL2TP sockets, the application provides information ++to the driver about the socket in a socket connect() call. Source and ++destination tunnel and session ids are provided, as well as the file ++descriptor of a UDP socket. See struct pppol2tp_addr in ++include/linux/if_ppp.h. Note that zero tunnel / session ids are ++treated specially. When creating the per-tunnel PPPoL2TP management ++socket in Step 2 above, zero source and destination session ids are ++specified, which tells the driver to prepare the supplied UDP file ++descriptor for use as an L2TP tunnel socket. ++ ++Userspace may control behavior of the tunnel or session using ++setsockopt and ioctl on the PPPoX socket. The following socket ++options are supported:- ++ ++DEBUG - bitmask of debug message categories. See below. ++SENDSEQ - 0 => don't send packets with sequence numbers ++ 1 => send packets with sequence numbers ++RECVSEQ - 0 => receive packet sequence numbers are optional ++ 1 => drop receive packets without sequence numbers ++LNSMODE - 0 => act as LAC. ++ 1 => act as LNS. ++REORDERTO - reorder timeout (in millisecs). If 0, don't try to reorder. ++ ++Only the DEBUG option is supported by the special tunnel management ++PPPoX socket. ++ ++In addition to the standard PPP ioctls, a PPPIOCGL2TPSTATS is provided ++to retrieve tunnel and session statistics from the kernel using the ++PPPoX socket of the appropriate tunnel or session. ++ ++Debugging ++========= ++ ++The driver supports a flexible debug scheme where kernel trace ++messages may be optionally enabled per tunnel and per session. Care is ++needed when debugging a live system since the messages are not ++rate-limited and a busy system could be swamped. Userspace uses ++setsockopt on the PPPoX socket to set a debug mask. ++ ++The following debug mask bits are available: ++ ++PPPOL2TP_MSG_DEBUG verbose debug (if compiled in) ++PPPOL2TP_MSG_CONTROL userspace - kernel interface ++PPPOL2TP_MSG_SEQ sequence numbers handling ++PPPOL2TP_MSG_DATA data packets ++ ++Sample Userspace Code ++===================== ++ ++1.

This feature is part of the ++core networking stack, and all network devices will be running on the ++multiqueue-aware stack. If a base driver only has one queue, then these ++changes are transparent to that driver. ++ ++ ++Section 1: Base driver requirements for implementing multiqueue support ++----------------------------------------------------------------------- ++ ++Base drivers are required to use the new alloc_etherdev_mq() or ++alloc_netdev_mq() functions to allocate the subqueues for the device. The ++underlying kernel API will take care of the allocation and deallocation of ++the subqueue memory, as well as netdev configuration of where the queues ++exist in memory. ++ ++The base driver will also need to manage the queues as it does the global ++netdev->queue_lock today. Therefore base drivers should use the ++netif_{start|stop|wake}_subqueue() functions to manage each queue while the ++device is still operational. netdev->queue_lock is still used when the device ++comes online or when it's completely shut down (unregister_netdev(), etc.). ++ ++Finally, the base driver should indicate that it is a multiqueue device. The ++feature flag NETIF_F_MULTI_QUEUE should be added to the netdev->features ++bitmap on device initialization. Below is an example from e1000: ++ ++#ifdef CONFIG_E1000_MQ ++ if ( (adapter->hw.mac.type == e1000_82571) || ++ (adapter->hw.mac.type == e1000_82572) || ++ (adapter->hw.mac.type == e1000_80003es2lan)) ++ netdev->features |= NETIF_F_MULTI_QUEUE; ++#endif ++ ++ ++Section 2: Qdisc support for multiqueue devices ++----------------------------------------------- ++ ++Currently two qdiscs support multiqueue devices. A new round-robin qdisc, ++sch_rr, and sch_prio. The qdisc is responsible for classifying the skb's to ++bands and queues, and will store the queue mapping into skb->queue_mapping. ++Use this field in the base driver to determine which queue to send the skb ++to. ++ ++sch_rr has been added for hardware that doesn't want scheduling policies from ++software, so it's a straight round-robin qdisc. It uses the same syntax and ++classification priomap that sch_prio uses, so it should be intuitive to ++configure for people who've used sch_prio. ++ ++The PRIO qdisc naturally plugs into a multiqueue device. If PRIO has been ++built with NET_SCH_PRIO_MQ, then upon load, it will make sure the number of ++bands requested is equal to the number of queues on the hardware. If they ++are equal, it sets a one-to-one mapping up between the queues and bands. If ++they're not equal, it will not load the qdisc. This is the same behavior ++for RR. Once the association is made, any skb that is classified will have ++skb->queue_mapping set, which will allow the driver to properly queue skb's ++to multiple queues. ++ ++ ++Section 3: Brief howto using PRIO and RR for multiqueue devices ++--------------------------------------------------------------- ++ ++The userspace command 'tc,' part of the iproute2 package, is used to configure ++qdiscs. To add the PRIO qdisc to your network device, assuming the device is ++called eth0, run the following command: ++ ++# tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: prio bands 4 multiqueue ++ ++This will create 4 bands, 0 being highest priority, and associate those bands ++to the queues on your NIC. Assuming eth0 has 4 Tx queues, the band mapping ++would look like: ++ ++band 0 => queue 0 ++band 1 => queue 1 ++band 2 => queue 2 ++band 3 => queue 3 ++ ++Traffic will begin flowing through each queue if your TOS values are assigning ++traffic across the various bands. For example, ssh traffic will always try to ++go out band 0 based on TOS -> Linux priority conversion (realtime traffic), ++so it will be sent out queue 0. ICMP traffic (pings) fall into the "normal" ++traffic classification, which is band 1. Therefore pings will be send out ++queue 1 on the NIC. ++ ++Note the use of the multiqueue keyword. This is only in versions of iproute2 ++that support multiqueue networking devices; if this is omitted when loading ++a qdisc onto a multiqueue device, the qdisc will load and operate the same ++if it were loaded onto a single-queue device (i.e. - sends all traffic to ++queue 0). ++ ++Another alternative to multiqueue band allocation can be done by using the ++multiqueue option and specify 0 bands. If this is the case, the qdisc will ++allocate the number of bands to equal the number of queues that the device ++reports, and bring the qdisc online. ++ ++The behavior of tc filters remains the same, where it will override TOS priority ++classification. ++ ++ ++Author: Peter P.

So if b0 ++of the it_present member of ieee80211_radiotap_header is set, it means that ++the header for argument index 0 (IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_TSFT) is present in the ++argument area. ++ ++ < 8-byte ieee80211_radiotap_header > ++ [ ] ++ [ ... ] ++ ++At the moment there are only 13 possible argument indexes defined, but in case ++we run out of space in the u32 it_present member, it is defined that b31 set ++indicates that there is another u32 bitmap following (shown as "possible ++argument bitmap extensions..." above), and the start of the arguments is moved ++forward 4 bytes each time. ++ ++Note also that the it_len member __le16 is set to the total number of bytes ++covered by the ieee80211_radiotap_header and any arguments following. ++ ++ ++Requirements for arguments ++-------------------------- ++ ++After the fixed part of the header, the arguments follow for each argument ++index whose matching bit is set in the it_present member of ++ieee80211_radiotap_header. ++ ++ - the arguments are all stored little-endian! ++ ++ - the argument payload for a given argument index has a fixed size. So ++ IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_TSFT being present always indicates an 8-byte argument is ++ present. See the comments in ./include/net/ieee80211_radiotap.h for a nice ++ breakdown of all the argument sizes ++ ++ - the arguments must be aligned to a boundary of the argument size using ++ padding. So a u16 argument must start on the next u16 boundary if it isn't ++ already on one, a u32 must start on the next u32 boundary and so on. ++ ++ - "alignment" is relative to the start of the ieee80211_radiotap_header, ie, ++ the first byte of the radiotap header. The absolute alignment of that first ++ byte isn't defined. So even if the whole radiotap header is starting at, eg, ++ address 0x00000003, still the first byte of the radiotap header is treated as ++ 0 for alignment purposes. ++ ++ - the above point that there may be no absolute alignment for multibyte ++ entities in the fixed radiotap header or the argument region means that you ++ have to take special evasive action when trying to access these multibyte ++ entities. Some arches like Blackfin cannot deal with an attempt to ++ dereference, eg, a u16 pointer that is pointing to an odd address. Instead ++ you have to use a kernel API get_unaligned() to dereference the pointer, ++ which will do it bytewise on the arches that require that. ++ ++ - The arguments for a given argument index can be a compound of multiple types ++ together. For example IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_CHANNEL has an argument payload ++ consisting of two u16s of total length 4.

Insert a line of the form : +- options sk98lin ... +- For "...", the same syntax is required as described for the command +- line parameters of modprobe below. +-2. To activate the new parameters, either reboot your computer +- or +- unload and reload the driver. +- The syntax of the driver parameters is: +- +- modprobe sk98lin parameter=value1[,value2[,value3...]] +- +- where value1 refers to the first adapter, value2 to the second etc. +- +-NOTE: All parameters are case sensitive. Write them exactly as shown +- below. +- +-Example: +-Suppose you have two adapters. You want to set auto-negotiation +-on the first adapter to ON and on the second adapter to OFF. +-You also want to set DuplexCapabilities on the first adapter +-to FULL, and on the second adapter to HALF. +-Then, you must enter: +- +- modprobe sk98lin AutoNeg_A=On,Off DupCap_A=Full,Half +- +-NOTE: The number of adapters that can be configured this way is +- limited in the driver (file skge.c, constant SK_MAX_CARD_PARAM). +- The current limit is 16.

If auto-negotiation is set to "On", all three values +-are possible.

This simplifies the configuration of both ports +-of an adapter card! The different values of this variable reflect the most +-meaningful combinations of port parameters. +- +-The following table shows the values of 'ConType' and the corresponding +-combinations of the per-port parameters: +- +- ConType | DupCap AutoNeg FlowCtrl Role Speed +- ----------+------------------------------------------------------ +- Auto | Both On SymOrRem Auto Auto +- 100FD | Full Off None Auto (ignored) 100 +- 100HD | Half Off None Auto (ignored) 100 +- 10FD | Full Off None Auto (ignored) 10 +- 10HD | Half Off None Auto (ignored) 10 +- +-Stating any other port parameter together with this 'ConType' variable +-will result in a merged configuration of those settings. This due to +-the fact, that the per-port parameters (e.g. Speed_? ) have a higher +-priority than the combined variable 'ConType'. +- +-NOTE: This parameter is always used on both ports of the adapter card. +- +-Interrupt Moderation +--------------------- +-Parameter: Moderation +-Values: None, Static, Dynamic +-Default: None +- +-Interrupt moderation is employed to limit the maximum number of interrupts +-the driver has to serve. That is, one or more interrupts (which indicate any +-transmit or receive packet to be processed) are queued until the driver +-processes them. When queued interrupts are to be served, is determined by the +-'IntsPerSec' parameter, which is explained later below. +- +-Possible modes: +- +- -- None - No interrupt moderation is applied on the adapter card. +- Therefore, each transmit or receive interrupt is served immediately +- as soon as it appears on the interrupt line of the adapter card. +- +- -- Static - Interrupt moderation is applied on the adapter card. +- All transmit and receive interrupts are queued until a complete +- moderation interval ends. If such a moderation interval ends, all +- queued interrupts are processed in one big bunch without any delay. +- The term 'static' reflects the fact, that interrupt moderation is +- always enabled, regardless how much network load is currently +- passing via a particular interface. In addition, the duration of +- the moderation interval has a fixed length that never changes while +- the driver is operational. +- +- -- Dynamic - Interrupt moderation might be applied on the adapter card, +- depending on the load of the system. If the driver detects that the +- system load is too high, the driver tries to shield the system against +- too much network load by enabling interrupt moderation. If - at a later +- time - the CPU utilization decreases again (or if the network load is +- negligible) the interrupt moderation will automatically be disabled. +- +-Interrupt moderation should be used when the driver has to handle one or more +-interfaces with a high network load, which - as a consequence - leads also to a +-high CPU utilization. When moderation is applied in such high network load +-situations, CPU load might be reduced by 20-30%. +- +-NOTE: The drawback of using interrupt moderation is an increase of the round- +-trip-time (RTT), due to the queueing and serving of interrupts at dedicated +-moderation times. +- +-Interrupts per second +---------------------- +-Parameter: IntsPerSec +-Values: 30...40000 (interrupts per second) +-Default: 2000 +- +-This parameter is only used if either static or dynamic interrupt moderation +-is used on a network adapter card. Using this parameter if no moderation is +-applied will lead to no action performed. +- +-This parameter determines the length of any interrupt moderation interval. +-Assuming that static interrupt moderation is to be used, an 'IntsPerSec' +-parameter value of 2000 will lead to an interrupt moderation interval of +-500 microseconds. +- +-NOTE: The duration of the moderation interval is to be chosen with care. +-At first glance, selecting a very long duration (e.g. only 100 interrupts per +-second) seems to be meaningful, but the increase of packet-processing delay +-is tremendous. On the other hand, selecting a very short moderation time might +-compensate the use of any moderation being applied. +- +- +-Preferred Port +--------------- +-Parameter: PrefPort +-Values: A, B +-Default: A +- +-This is used to force the preferred port to A or B (on dual-port network +-adapters). The preferred port is the one that is used if both are detected +-as fully functional. +- +-RLMT Mode (Redundant Link Management Technology) +------------------------------------------------- +-Parameter: RlmtMode +-Values: CheckLinkState,CheckLocalPort, CheckSeg, DualNet +-Default: CheckLinkState +- +-RLMT monitors the status of the port. If the link of the active port +-fails, RLMT switches immediately to the standby link. The virtual link is +-maintained as long as at least one 'physical' link is up. +- +-Possible modes: +- +- -- CheckLinkState - Check link state only: RLMT uses the link state +- reported by the adapter hardware for each individual port to +- determine whether a port can be used for all network traffic or +- not. +- +- -- CheckLocalPort - In this mode, RLMT monitors the network path +- between the two ports of an adapter by regularly exchanging packets +- between them. This mode requires a network configuration in which +- the two ports are able to "see" each other (i.e. there must not be +- any router between the ports). +- +- -- CheckSeg - Check local port and segmentation: This mode supports the +- same functions as the CheckLocalPort mode and additionally checks +- network segmentation between the ports. Therefore, this mode is only +- to be used if Gigabit Ethernet switches are installed on the network +- that have been configured to use the Spanning Tree protocol. +- +- -- DualNet - In this mode, ports A and B are used as separate devices. +- If you have a dual port adapter, port A will be configured as eth0 +- and port B as eth1. Both ports can be used independently with +- distinct IP addresses. The preferred port setting is not used. +- RLMT is turned off. +- +-NOTE: RLMT modes CLP and CLPSS are designed to operate in configurations +- where a network path between the ports on one adapter exists. +- Moreover, they are not designed to work where adapters are connected +- back-to-back. +-*** +- +- +-5 Large Frame Support +-====================== +- +-The driver supports large frames (also called jumbo frames). Using large +-frames can result in an improved throughput if transferring large amounts +-of data. +-To enable large frames, set the MTU (maximum transfer unit) of the +-interface to the desired value (up to 9000), execute the following +-command: +- ifconfig eth0 mtu 9000 +-This will only work if you have two adapters connected back-to-back +-or if you use a switch that supports large frames. When using a switch, +-it should be configured to allow large frames and auto-negotiation should +-be set to OFF. The setting must be configured on all adapters that can be +-reached by the large frames. If one adapter is not set to receive large +-frames, it will simply drop them. +- +-You can switch back to the standard ethernet frame size by executing the +-following command: +- ifconfig eth0 mtu 1500 +- +-To permanently configure this setting, add a script with the 'ifconfig' +-line to the system startup sequence (named something like "S99sk98lin" +-in /etc/rc.d/rc2.d). +-*** +- +- +-6 VLAN and Link Aggregation Support (IEEE 802.1, 802.1q, 802.3ad) +-================================================================== +- +-The Marvell Yukon/SysKonnect Linux drivers are able to support VLAN and +-Link Aggregation according to IEEE standards 802.1, 802.1q, and 802.3ad. +-These features are only available after installation of open source +-modules available on the Internet: +-For VLAN go to: http://www.candelatech.com/~greear/vlan.html +-For Link Aggregation go to: http://www.st.rim.or.jp/~yumo +- +-NOTE: SysKonnect GmbH does not offer any support for these open source +- modules and does not take the responsibility for any kind of +- failures or problems arising in connection with these modules. +- +-NOTE: Configuring Link Aggregation on a SysKonnect dual link adapter may +- cause problems when unloading the driver. +- +- +-7 Troubleshooting +-================== +- +-If any problems occur during the installation process, check the +-following list: +- +- +-Problem: The SK-98xx adapter cannot be found by the driver. +-Solution: In /proc/pci search for the following entry: +- 'Ethernet controller: SysKonnect SK-98xx ...' +- If this entry exists, the SK-98xx or SK-98xx V2.0 adapter has +- been found by the system and should be operational. +- If this entry does not exist or if the file '/proc/pci' is not +- found, there may be a hardware problem or the PCI support may +- not be enabled in your kernel. +- The adapter can be checked using the diagnostics program which +- is available on the SysKonnect web site: +- www.syskonnect.com +- +- Some COMPAQ machines have problems dealing with PCI under Linux. +- This problem is described in the 'PCI howto' document +- (included in some distributions or available from the +- web, e.g. at 'www.linux.org'). +- +- +-Problem: Programs such as 'ifconfig' or 'route' cannot be found or the +- error message 'Operation not permitted' is displayed. +-Reason: You are not logged in as user 'root'. +-Solution: Logout and login as 'root' or change to 'root' via 'su'. +- +- +-Problem: Upon use of the command 'ping

The spidernet is a gigabit ++ethernet device built into the Toshiba southbridge commonly used ++in the SONY Playstation 3 and the IBM QS20 Cell blade. ++ ++The Structure of the RX Ring. ++============================= ++The receive (RX) ring is a circular linked list of RX descriptors, ++together with three pointers into the ring that are used to manage its ++contents. ++ ++The elements of the ring are called "descriptors" or "descrs"; they ++describe the received data. This includes a pointer to a buffer ++containing the received data, the buffer size, and various status bits. ++ ++There are three primary states that a descriptor can be in: "empty", ++"full" and "not-in-use". An "empty" or "ready" descriptor is ready ++to receive data from the hardware. A "full" descriptor has data in it, ++and is waiting to be emptied and processed by the OS. A "not-in-use" ++descriptor is neither empty or full; it is simply not ready. It may ++not even have a data buffer in it, or is otherwise unusable. ++ ++During normal operation, on device startup, the OS (specifically, the ++spidernet device driver) allocates a set of RX descriptors and RX ++buffers. These are all marked "empty", ready to receive data. This ++ring is handed off to the hardware, which sequentially fills in the ++buffers, and marks them "full". The OS follows up, taking the full ++buffers, processing them, and re-marking them empty. ++ ++This filling and emptying is managed by three pointers, the "head" ++and "tail" pointers, managed by the OS, and a hardware current ++descriptor pointer (GDACTDPA). The GDACTDPA points at the descr ++currently being filled. When this descr is filled, the hardware ++marks it full, and advances the GDACTDPA by one. Thus, when there is ++flowing RX traffic, every descr behind it should be marked "full", ++and everything in front of it should be "empty". If the hardware ++discovers that the current descr is not empty, it will signal an ++interrupt, and halt processing. ++ ++The tail pointer tails or trails the hardware pointer. When the ++hardware is ahead, the tail pointer will be pointing at a "full" ++descr. The OS will process this descr, and then mark it "not-in-use", ++and advance the tail pointer. Thus, when there is flowing RX traffic, ++all of the descrs in front of the tail pointer should be "full", and ++all of those behind it should be "not-in-use". When RX traffic is not ++flowing, then the tail pointer can catch up to the hardware pointer. ++The OS will then note that the current tail is "empty", and halt ++processing. ++ ++The head pointer (somewhat mis-named) follows after the tail pointer. ++When traffic is flowing, then the head pointer will be pointing at ++a "not-in-use" descr. The OS will perform various housekeeping duties ++on this descr. This includes allocating a new data buffer and ++dma-mapping it so as to make it visible to the hardware. The OS will ++then mark the descr as "empty", ready to receive data. Thus, when there ++is flowing RX traffic, everything in front of the head pointer should ++be "not-in-use", and everything behind it should be "empty". If no ++RX traffic is flowing, then the head pointer can catch up to the tail ++pointer, at which point the OS will notice that the head descr is ++"empty", and it will halt processing. ++ ++Thus, in an idle system, the GDACTDPA, tail and head pointers will ++all be pointing at the same descr, which should be "empty". All of the ++other descrs in the ring should be "empty" as well. ++ ++The show_rx_chain() routine will print out the the locations of the ++GDACTDPA, tail and head pointers. It will also summarize the contents ++of the ring, starting at the tail pointer, and listing the status ++of the descrs that follow. ++ ++A typical example of the output, for a nearly idle system, might be ++ ++net eth1: Total number of descrs=256 ++net eth1: Chain tail located at descr=20 ++net eth1: Chain head is at 20 ++net eth1: HW curr desc (GDACTDPA) is at 21 ++net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=x40800101 ++net eth1: HW next desc (GDACNEXTDA) is at 22 ++net eth1: Last 255 descrs with stat=xa0800000 ++ ++In the above, the hardware has filled in one descr, number 20. Both ++head and tail are pointing at 20, because it has not yet been emptied. ++Meanwhile, hw is pointing at 21, which is free. ++ ++The "Have nnn decrs" refers to the descr starting at the tail: in this ++case, nnn=1 descr, starting at descr 20. The "Last nnn descrs" refers ++to all of the rest of the descrs, from the last status change. The "nnn" ++is a count of how many descrs have exactly the same status. ++ ++The status x4... corresponds to "full" and status xa... corresponds ++to "empty". The actual value printed is RXCOMST_A. ++ ++In the device driver source code, a different set of names are ++used for these same concepts, so that ++ ++"empty" == SPIDER_NET_DESCR_CARDOWNED == 0xa ++"full" == SPIDER_NET_DESCR_FRAME_END == 0x4 ++"not in use" == SPIDER_NET_DESCR_NOT_IN_USE == 0xf ++ ++ ++The RX RAM full bug/feature ++=========================== ++ ++As long as the OS can empty out the RX buffers at a rate faster than ++the hardware can fill them, there is no problem. If, for some reason, ++the OS fails to empty the RX ring fast enough, the hardware GDACTDPA ++pointer will catch up to the head, notice the not-empty condition, ++ad stop. However, RX packets may still continue arriving on the wire. ++The spidernet chip can save some limited number of these in local RAM. ++When this local ram fills up, the spider chip will issue an interrupt ++indicating this (GHIINT0STS will show ERRINT, and the GRMFLLINT bit ++will be set in GHIINT1STS). When the RX ram full condition occurs, ++a certain bug/feature is triggered that has to be specially handled. ++This section describes the special handling for this condition. ++ ++When the OS finally has a chance to run, it will empty out the RX ring. ++In particular, it will clear the descriptor on which the hardware had ++stopped. However, once the hardware has decided that a certain ++descriptor is invalid, it will not restart at that descriptor; instead ++it will restart at the next descr. This potentially will lead to a ++deadlock condition, as the tail pointer will be pointing at this descr, ++which, from the OS point of view, is empty; the OS will be waiting for ++this descr to be filled. However, the hardware has skipped this descr, ++and is filling the next descrs. Since the OS doesn't see this, there ++is a potential deadlock, with the OS waiting for one descr to fill, ++while the hardware is waiting for a different set of descrs to become ++empty. ++ ++A call to show_rx_chain() at this point indicates the nature of the ++problem. A typical print when the network is hung shows the following: ++ ++net eth1: Spider RX RAM full, incoming packets might be discarded! ++net eth1: Total number of descrs=256 ++net eth1: Chain tail located at descr=255 ++net eth1: Chain head is at 255 ++net eth1: HW curr desc (GDACTDPA) is at 0 ++net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=xa0800000 ++net eth1: HW next desc (GDACNEXTDA) is at 1 ++net eth1: Have 127 descrs with stat=x40800101 ++net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=x40800001 ++net eth1: Have 126 descrs with stat=x40800101 ++net eth1: Last 1 descrs with stat=xa0800000 ++ ++Both the tail and head pointers are pointing at descr 255, which is ++marked xa... which is "empty". Thus, from the OS point of view, there ++is nothing to be done. In particular, there is the implicit assumption ++that everything in front of the "empty" descr must surely also be empty, ++as explained in the last section. The OS is waiting for descr 255 to ++become non-empty, which, in this case, will never happen. ++ ++The HW pointer is at descr 0. This descr is marked 0x4.. or "full". ++Since its already full, the hardware can do nothing more, and thus has ++halted processing. Notice that descrs 0 through 254 are all marked ++"full", while descr 254 and 255 are empty. (The "Last 1 descrs" is ++descr 254, since tail was at 255.) Thus, the system is deadlocked, ++and there can be no forward progress; the OS thinks there's nothing ++to do, and the hardware has nowhere to put incoming data. ++ ++This bug/feature is worked around with the spider_net_resync_head_ptr() ++routine. When the driver receives RX interrupts, but an examination ++of the RX chain seems to show it is empty, then it is probable that ++the hardware has skipped a descr or two (sometimes dozens under heavy ++network conditions). The spider_net_resync_head_ptr() subroutine will ++search the ring for the next full descr, and the driver will resume ++operations there. Since this will leave "holes" in the ring, there ++is also a spider_net_resync_tail_ptr() that will skip over such holes. ++ ++As of this writing, the spider_net_resync() strategy seems to work very ++well, even under heavy network loads. ++ ++ ++The TX ring ++=========== ++The TX ring uses a low-watermark interrupt scheme to make sure that ++the TX queue is appropriately serviced for large packet sizes. ++ ++For packet sizes greater than about 1KBytes, the kernel can fill ++the TX ring quicker than the device can drain it. Once the ring ++is full, the netdev is stopped. When there is room in the ring, ++the netdev needs to be reawakened, so that more TX packets are placed ++in the ring. The hardware can empty the ring about four times per jiffy, ++so its not appropriate to wait for the poll routine to refill, since ++the poll routine runs only once per jiffy. The low-watermark mechanism ++marks a descr about 1/4th of the way from the bottom of the queue, so ++that an interrupt is generated when the descr is processed. This ++interrupt wakes up the netdev, which can then refill the queue. ++For large packets, this mechanism generates a relatively small number ++of interrupts, about 1K/sec. For smaller packets, this will drop to zero ++interrupts, as the hardware can empty the queue faster than the kernel ++can fill it. ++ ++ ++ ======= END OF DOCUMENT ======== ++ +diff -Nurp linux-2.6.22/Documentation/oops-tracing.txt linux-2.6-netns/Documentation/oops-tracing.txt +--- linux-2.6.22/Documentation/oops-tracing.txt 2007-07-08 19:32:17.000000000 -0400 ++++ linux-2.6-netns/Documentation/oops-tracing.txt 2007-12-03 23:06:33.000000000 -0500 +@@ -86,6 +86,20 @@ stuff are the values reported by the Oop + and do a replace of spaces to "\x" - that's what I do, as I'm too lazy + to write a program to automate this all). + ++Alternatively, you can use the shell script in scripts/decodecode. ++Its usage is: decodecode < oops.txt ++ ++The hex bytes that follow "Code:" may (in some architectures) have a series ++of bytes that precede the current instruction pointer as well as bytes at and ++following the current instruction pointer.

Wysocki , GPL ++ ++I. What is the freezing of tasks? ++ ++The freezing of tasks is a mechanism by which user space processes and some ++kernel threads are controlled during hibernation or system-wide suspend (on some ++architectures). ++ ++II. How does it work? ++ ++There are four per-task flags used for that, PF_NOFREEZE, PF_FROZEN, TIF_FREEZE ++and PF_FREEZER_SKIP (the last one is auxiliary). The tasks that have ++PF_NOFREEZE unset (all user space processes and some kernel threads) are ++regarded as 'freezable' and treated in a special way before the system enters a ++suspend state as well as before a hibernation image is created (in what follows ++we only consider hibernation, but the description also applies to suspend). ++ ++Namely, as the first step of the hibernation procedure the function ++freeze_processes() (defined in kernel/power/process.c) is called. It executes ++try_to_freeze_tasks() that sets TIF_FREEZE for all of the freezable tasks and ++sends a fake signal to each of them. A task that receives such a signal and has ++TIF_FREEZE set, should react to it by calling the refrigerator() function ++(defined in kernel/power/process.c), which sets the task's PF_FROZEN flag, ++changes its state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and makes it loop until PF_FROZEN is ++cleared for it. Then, we say that the task is 'frozen' and therefore the set of ++functions handling this mechanism is called 'the freezer' (these functions are ++defined in kernel/power/process.c and include/linux/freezer.h). User space ++processes are generally frozen before kernel threads. ++ ++It is not recommended to call refrigerator() directly. Instead, it is ++recommended to use the try_to_freeze() function (defined in ++include/linux/freezer.h), that checks the task's TIF_FREEZE flag and makes the ++task enter refrigerator() if the flag is set. ++ ++For user space processes try_to_freeze() is called automatically from the ++signal-handling code, but the freezable kernel threads need to call it ++explicitly in suitable places. The code to do this may look like the following: ++ ++ do { ++ hub_events(); ++ wait_event_interruptible(khubd_wait, ++ !list_empty(&hub_event_list)); ++ try_to_freeze(); ++ } while (!signal_pending(current)); ++ ++(from drivers/usb/core/hub.c::hub_thread()). ++ ++If a freezable kernel thread fails to call try_to_freeze() after the freezer has ++set TIF_FREEZE for it, the freezing of tasks will fail and the entire ++hibernation operation will be cancelled. For this reason, freezable kernel ++threads must call try_to_freeze() somewhere. ++ ++After the system memory state has been restored from a hibernation image and ++devices have been reinitialized, the function thaw_processes() is called in ++order to clear the PF_FROZEN flag for each frozen task. Then, the tasks that ++have been frozen leave refrigerator() and continue running. ++ ++III. Which kernel threads are freezable? ++ ++Kernel threads are not freezable by default. However, a kernel thread may clear ++PF_NOFREEZE for itself by calling set_freezable() (the resetting of PF_NOFREEZE ++directly is strongly discouraged). From this point it is regarded as freezable ++and must call try_to_freeze() in a suitable place. ++ ++IV. Why do we do that? ++ ++Generally speaking, there is a couple of reasons to use the freezing of tasks: ++ ++1. The principal reason is to prevent filesystems from being damaged after ++hibernation. At the moment we have no simple means of checkpointing ++filesystems, so if there are any modifications made to filesystem data and/or ++metadata on disks, we cannot bring them back to the state from before the ++modifications. At the same time each hibernation image contains some ++filesystem-related information that must be consistent with the state of the ++on-disk data and metadata after the system memory state has been restored from ++the image (otherwise the filesystems will be damaged in a nasty way, usually ++making them almost impossible to repair). We therefore freeze tasks that might ++cause the on-disk filesystems' data and metadata to be modified after the ++hibernation image has been created and before the system is finally powered off. ++The majority of these are user space processes, but if any of the kernel threads ++may cause something like this to happen, they have to be freezable. ++ ++2. The second reason is to prevent user space processes and some kernel threads ++from interfering with the suspending and resuming of devices. A user space ++process running on a second CPU while we are suspending devices may, for ++example, be troublesome and without the freezing of tasks we would need some ++safeguards against race conditions that might occur in such a case. ++ ++Although Linus Torvalds doesn't like the freezing of tasks, he said this in one ++of the discussions on LKML (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/27/608): ++ ++"RJW:> Why we freeze tasks at all or why we freeze kernel threads? ++ ++Linus: In many ways, 'at all'. ++ ++I _do_ realize the IO request queue issues, and that we cannot actually do ++s2ram with some devices in the middle of a DMA. So we want to be able to ++avoid *that*, there's no question about that. And I suspect that stopping ++user threads and then waiting for a sync is practically one of the easier ++ways to do so. ++ ++So in practice, the 'at all' may become a 'why freeze kernel threads?' and ++freezing user threads I don't find really objectionable." ++ ++Still, there are kernel threads that may want to be freezable. For example, if ++a kernel that belongs to a device driver accesses the device directly, it in ++principle needs to know when the device is suspended, so that it doesn't try to ++access it at that time. However, if the kernel thread is freezable, it will be ++frozen before the driver's .suspend() callback is executed and it will be ++thawed after the driver's .resume() callback has run, so it won't be accessing ++the device while it's suspended. ++ ++3. Another reason for freezing tasks is to prevent user space processes from ++realizing that hibernation (or suspend) operation takes place. Ideally, user ++space processes should not notice that such a system-wide operation has occurred ++and should continue running without any problems after the restore (or resume ++from suspend). Unfortunately, in the most general case this is quite difficult ++to achieve without the freezing of tasks. Consider, for example, a process ++that depends on all CPUs being online while it's running. Since we need to ++disable nonboot CPUs during the hibernation, if this process is not frozen, it ++may notice that the number of CPUs has changed and may start to work incorrectly ++because of that. ++ ++V. Are there any problems related to the freezing of tasks? ++ ++Yes, there are. ++ ++First of all, the freezing of kernel threads may be tricky if they depend one ++on another. For example, if kernel thread A waits for a completion (in the ++TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state) that needs to be done by freezable kernel thread B ++and B is frozen in the meantime, then A will be blocked until B is thawed, which ++may be undesirable. That's why kernel threads are not freezable by default. ++ ++Second, there are the following two problems related to the freezing of user ++space processes: ++1. Putting processes into an uninterruptible sleep distorts the load average. ++2. Now that we have FUSE, plus the framework for doing device drivers in ++userspace, it gets even more complicated because some userspace processes are ++now doing the sorts of things that kernel threads do ++(https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2007-May/012309.html). ++ ++The problem 1. seems to be fixable, although it hasn't been fixed so far. The ++other one is more serious, but it seems that we can work around it by using ++hibernation (and suspend) notifiers (in that case, though, we won't be able to ++avoid the realization by the user space processes that the hibernation is taking ++place). ++ ++There are also problems that the freezing of tasks tends to expose, although ++they are not directly related to it. For example, if request_firmware() is ++called from a device driver's .resume() routine, it will timeout and eventually ++fail, because the user land process that should respond to the request is frozen ++at this point. So, seemingly, the failure is due to the freezing of tasks. ++Suppose, however, that the firmware file is located on a filesystem accessible ++only through another device that hasn't been resumed yet. In that case, ++request_firmware() will fail regardless of whether or not the freezing of tasks ++is used. Consequently, the problem is not really related to the freezing of ++tasks, since it generally exists anyway. [The solution to this particular ++problem is to keep the firmware in memory after it's loaded for the first time ++and upload if from memory to the device whenever necessary.] +diff -Nurp linux-2.6.22/Documentation/power/kernel_threads.txt linux-2.6-netns/Documentation/power/kernel_threads.txt +--- linux-2.6.22/Documentation/power/kernel_threads.txt 2007-07-08 19:32:17.000000000 -0400 ++++ linux-2.6-netns/Documentation/power/kernel_threads.txt 1969-12-31 19:00:00.000000000 -0500 +@@ -1,40 +0,0 @@ +-KERNEL THREADS +- +- +-Freezer +- +-Upon entering a suspended state the system will freeze all +-tasks.

Attributes are available via sysfs and uevent ++interfaces. ++ ++Each attribute has well defined meaning, up to unit of measure used. While ++the attributes provided are believed to be universally applicable to any ++power supply, specific monitoring hardware may not be able to provide them ++all, so any of them may be skipped. ++ ++Power supply class is extensible, and allows to define drivers own attributes. ++The core attribute set is subject to the standard Linux evolution (i.e. ++if it will be found that some attribute is applicable to many power supply ++types or their drivers, it can be added to the core set). ++ ++It also integrates with LED framework, for the purpose of providing ++typically expected feedback of battery charging/fully charged status and ++AC/USB power supply online status. (Note that specific details of the ++indication (including whether to use it at all) are fully controllable by ++user and/or specific machine defaults, per design principles of LED ++framework). ++ ++ ++Attributes/properties ++~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ++Power supply class has predefined set of attributes, this eliminates code ++duplication across drivers. Power supply class insist on reusing its ++predefined attributes *and* their units. ++ ++So, userspace gets predictable set of attributes and their units for any ++kind of power supply, and can process/present them to a user in consistent ++manner. Results for different power supplies and machines are also directly ++comparable. ++ ++See drivers/power/ds2760_battery.c and drivers/power/pda_power.c for the ++example how to declare and handle attributes. ++ ++ ++Units ++~~~~~ ++Quoting include/linux/power_supply.h: ++ ++ All voltages, currents, charges, energies, time and temperatures in µV, ++ µA, µAh, µWh, seconds and tenths of degree Celsius unless otherwise ++ stated.

This corresponds to ++BATTERY_STATUS_* values, as defined in battery.h. ++ ++HEALTH - represents health of the battery, values corresponds to ++POWER_SUPPLY_HEALTH_*, defined in battery.h. ++ ++VOLTAGE_MAX_DESIGN, VOLTAGE_MIN_DESIGN - design values for maximal and ++minimal power supply voltages. Maximal/minimal means values of voltages ++when battery considered "full"/"empty" at normal conditions. Yes, there is ++no direct relation between voltage and battery capacity, but some dumb ++batteries use voltage for very approximated calculation of capacity. ++Battery driver also can use this attribute just to inform userspace ++about maximal and minimal voltage thresholds of a given battery. ++ ++CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN, CHARGE_EMPTY_DESIGN - design charge values, when ++battery considered full/empty. ++ ++ENERGY_FULL_DESIGN, ENERGY_EMPTY_DESIGN - same as above but for energy. ++ ++CHARGE_FULL, CHARGE_EMPTY - These attributes means "last remembered value ++of charge when battery became full/empty". It also could mean "value of ++charge when battery considered full/empty at given conditions (temperature, ++age)". I.e. these attributes represents real thresholds, not design values. ++ ++ENERGY_FULL, ENERGY_EMPTY - same as above but for energy. ++ ++CAPACITY - capacity in percents. ++CAPACITY_LEVEL - capacity level. This corresponds to ++POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY_LEVEL_*. ++ ++TEMP - temperature of the power supply. ++TEMP_AMBIENT - ambient temperature. ++ ++TIME_TO_EMPTY - seconds left for battery to be considered empty (i.e. ++while battery powers a load) ++TIME_TO_FULL - seconds left for battery to be considered full (i.e. ++while battery is charging) ++ ++ ++Battery <-> external power supply interaction ++~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ++Often power supplies are acting as supplies and supplicants at the same ++time. Batteries are good example. So, batteries usually care if they're ++externally powered or not. ++ ++For that case, power supply class implements notification mechanism for ++batteries. ++ ++External power supply (AC) lists supplicants (batteries) names in ++"supplied_to" struct member, and each power_supply_changed() call ++issued by external power supply will notify supplicants via ++external_power_changed callback. ++ ++ ++QA ++~~ ++Q: Where is POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_XYZ attribute? ++A: If you cannot find attribute suitable for your driver needs, feel free ++ to add it and send patch along with your driver. ++ ++ The attributes available currently are the ones currently provided by the ++ drivers written. ++ ++ Good candidates to add in future: model/part#, cycle_time, manufacturer, ++ etc. ++ ++ ++Q: I have some very specific attribute (e.g. battery color), should I add ++ this attribute to standard ones? ++A: Most likely, no. Such attribute can be placed in the driver itself, if ++ it is useful. Of course, if the attribute in question applicable to ++ large set of batteries, provided by many drivers, and/or comes from ++ some general battery specification/standard, it may be a candidate to ++ be added to the core attribute set. ++ ++ ++Q: Suppose, my battery monitoring chip/firmware does not provides capacity ++ in percents, but provides charge_{now,full,empty}. Should I calculate ++ percentage capacity manually, inside the driver, and register CAPACITY ++ attribute? The same question about time_to_empty/time_to_full. ++A: Most likely, no. This class is designed to export properties which are ++ directly measurable by the specific hardware available. ++ ++ Inferring not available properties using some heuristics or mathematical ++ model is not subject of work for a battery driver. Such functionality ++ should be factored out, and in fact, apm_power, the driver to serve ++ legacy APM API on top of power supply class, uses a simple heuristic of ++ approximating remaining battery capacity based on its charge, current, ++ voltage and so on. But full-fledged battery model is likely not subject ++ for kernel at all, as it would require floating point calculation to deal ++ with things like differential equations and Kalman filters.

For example: if there are 2 tasks ++running then it runs each at 50% physical power - totally in parallel. ++ ++On real hardware, we can run only a single task at once, so while that ++one task runs, the other tasks that are waiting for the CPU are at a ++disadvantage - the current task gets an unfair amount of CPU time. In ++CFS this fairness imbalance is expressed and tracked via the per-task ++p->wait_runtime (nanosec-unit) value. "wait_runtime" is the amount of ++time the task should now run on the CPU for it to become completely fair ++and balanced. ++ ++( small detail: on 'ideal' hardware, the p->wait_runtime value would ++ always be zero - no task would ever get 'out of balance' from the ++ 'ideal' share of CPU time. ) ++ ++CFS's task picking logic is based on this p->wait_runtime value and it ++is thus very simple: it always tries to run the task with the largest ++p->wait_runtime value. In other words, CFS tries to run the task with ++the 'gravest need' for more CPU time. So CFS always tries to split up ++CPU time between runnable tasks as close to 'ideal multitasking ++hardware' as possible. ++ ++Most of the rest of CFS's design just falls out of this really simple ++concept, with a few add-on embellishments like nice levels, ++multiprocessing and various algorithm variants to recognize sleepers. ++ ++In practice it works like this: the system runs a task a bit, and when ++the task schedules (or a scheduler tick happens) the task's CPU usage is ++'accounted for': the (small) time it just spent using the physical CPU ++is deducted from p->wait_runtime. [minus the 'fair share' it would have ++gotten anyway]. Once p->wait_runtime gets low enough so that another ++task becomes the 'leftmost task' of the time-ordered rbtree it maintains ++(plus a small amount of 'granularity' distance relative to the leftmost ++task so that we do not over-schedule tasks and trash the cache) then the ++new leftmost task is picked and the current task is preempted. ++ ++The rq->fair_clock value tracks the 'CPU time a runnable task would have ++fairly gotten, had it been runnable during that time'. So by using ++rq->fair_clock values we can accurately timestamp and measure the ++'expected CPU time' a task should have gotten. All runnable tasks are ++sorted in the rbtree by the "rq->fair_clock - p->wait_runtime" key, and ++CFS picks the 'leftmost' task and sticks to it. As the system progresses ++forwards, newly woken tasks are put into the tree more and more to the ++right - slowly but surely giving a chance for every task to become the ++'leftmost task' and thus get on the CPU within a deterministic amount of ++time. ++ ++Some implementation details: ++ ++ - the introduction of Scheduling Classes: an extensible hierarchy of ++ scheduler modules. These modules encapsulate scheduling policy ++ details and are handled by the scheduler core without the core ++ code assuming about them too much. ++ ++ - sched_fair.c implements the 'CFS desktop scheduler': it is a ++ replacement for the vanilla scheduler's SCHED_OTHER interactivity ++ code. ++ ++ I'd like to give credit to Con Kolivas for the general approach here: ++ he has proven via RSDL/SD that 'fair scheduling' is possible and that ++ it results in better desktop scheduling. Kudos Con! ++ ++ The CFS patch uses a completely different approach and implementation ++ from RSDL/SD. My goal was to make CFS's interactivity quality exceed ++ that of RSDL/SD, which is a high standard to meet :-) Testing ++ feedback is welcome to decide this one way or another. [ and, in any ++ case, all of SD's logic could be added via a kernel/sched_sd.c module ++ as well, if Con is interested in such an approach. ] ++ ++ CFS's design is quite radical: it does not use runqueues, it uses a ++ time-ordered rbtree to build a 'timeline' of future task execution, ++ and thus has no 'array switch' artifacts (by which both the vanilla ++ scheduler and RSDL/SD are affected). ++ ++ CFS uses nanosecond granularity accounting and does not rely on any ++ jiffies or other HZ detail. Thus the CFS scheduler has no notion of ++ 'timeslices' and has no heuristics whatsoever. There is only one ++ central tunable: ++ ++ /proc/sys/kernel/sched_granularity_ns ++ ++ which can be used to tune the scheduler from 'desktop' (low ++ latencies) to 'server' (good batching) workloads. It defaults to a ++ setting suitable for desktop workloads. SCHED_BATCH is handled by the ++ CFS scheduler module too. ++ ++ Due to its design, the CFS scheduler is not prone to any of the ++ 'attacks' that exist today against the heuristics of the stock ++ scheduler: fiftyp.c, thud.c, chew.c, ring-test.c, massive_intr.c all ++ work fine and do not impact interactivity and produce the expected ++ behavior. ++ ++ the CFS scheduler has a much stronger handling of nice levels and ++ SCHED_BATCH: both types of workloads should be isolated much more ++ agressively than under the vanilla scheduler. ++ ++ ( another detail: due to nanosec accounting and timeline sorting, ++ sched_yield() support is very simple under CFS, and in fact under ++ CFS sched_yield() behaves much better than under any other ++ scheduler i have tested so far. ) ++ ++ - sched_rt.c implements SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR semantics, in a simpler ++ way than the vanilla scheduler does.

TBD) ++ ++ ++Introduction ++============ ++This file documents the features and components of the SCSI FC Transport. ++It also provides documents the API between the transport and FC LLDDs. ++The FC transport can be found at: ++ drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_fc.c ++ include/scsi/scsi_transport_fc.h ++ include/scsi/scsi_netlink_fc.h ++ ++This file is found at Documentation/scsi/scsi_fc_transport.txt ++ ++ ++FC Remote Ports (rports) ++======================================================================== ++<< To Be Supplied >> ++ ++ ++FC Virtual Ports (vports) ++======================================================================== ++ ++Overview: ++------------------------------- ++ ++ New FC standards have defined mechanisms which allows for a single physical ++ port to appear on as multiple communication ports. Using the N_Port Id ++ Virtualization (NPIV) mechanism, a point-to-point connection to a Fabric ++ can be assigned more than 1 N_Port_ID. Each N_Port_ID appears as a ++ separate port to other endpoints on the fabric, even though it shares one ++ physical link to the switch for communication. Each N_Port_ID can have a ++ unique view of the fabric based on fabric zoning and array lun-masking ++ (just like a normal non-NPIV adapter). Using the Virtual Fabric (VF) ++ mechanism, adding a fabric header to each frame allows the port to ++ interact with the Fabric Port to join multiple fabrics. The port will ++ obtain an N_Port_ID on each fabric it joins. Each fabric will have its ++ own unique view of endpoints and configuration parameters. NPIV may be ++ used together with VF so that the port can obtain multiple N_Port_IDs ++ on each virtual fabric. ++ ++ The FC transport is now recognizing a new object - a vport. A vport is ++ an entity that has a world-wide unique World Wide Port Name (wwpn) and ++ World Wide Node Name (wwnn). The transport also allows for the FC4's to ++ be specified for the vport, with FCP_Initiator being the primary role ++ expected. Once instantiated by one of the above methods, it will have a ++ distinct N_Port_ID and view of fabric endpoints and storage entities. ++ The fc_host associated with the physical adapter will export the ability ++ to create vports. The transport will create the vport object within the ++ Linux device tree, and instruct the fc_host's driver to instantiate the ++ virtual port. Typically, the driver will create a new scsi_host instance ++ on the vport, resulting in a unique namespace for the vport. ++ Thus, whether a FC port is based on a physical port or on a virtual port, ++ each will appear as a unique scsi_host with its own target and lun space. ++ ++ Note: At this time, the transport is written to create only NPIV-based ++ vports. However, consideration was given to VF-based vports and it ++ should be a minor change to add support if needed. The remaining ++ discussion will concentrate on NPIV. ++ ++ Note: World Wide Name assignment (and uniqueness guarantees) are left ++ up to an administrative entity controling the vport. For example, ++ if vports are to be associated with virtual machines, a XEN mgmt ++ utility would be responsible for creating wwpn/wwnn's for the vport, ++ using it's own naming authority and OUI. (Note: it already does this ++ for virtual MAC addresses). ++ ++ ++Device Trees and Vport Objects: ++------------------------------- ++ ++ Today, the device tree typically contains the scsi_host object, ++ with rports and scsi target objects underneath it. Currently the FC ++ transport creates the vport object and places it under the scsi_host ++ object corresponding to the physical adapter. The LLDD will allocate ++ a new scsi_host for the vport and link it's object under the vport. ++ The remainder of the tree under the vports scsi_host is the same ++ as the non-NPIV case. The transport is written currently to easily ++ allow the parent of the vport to be something other than the scsi_host. ++ This could be used in the future to link the object onto a vm-specific ++ device tree. If the vport's parent is not the physical port's scsi_host, ++ a symbolic link to the vport object will be placed in the physical ++ port's scsi_host. ++ ++ Here's what to expect in the device tree : ++ The typical Physical Port's Scsi_Host: ++ /sys/devices/.../host17/ ++ and it has the typical decendent tree: ++ /sys/devices/.../host17/rport-17:0-0/target17:0:0/17:0:0:0: ++ and then the vport is created on the Physical Port: ++ /sys/devices/.../host17/vport-17:0-0 ++ and the vport's Scsi_Host is then created: ++ /sys/devices/.../host17/vport-17:0-0/host18 ++ and then the rest of the tree progresses, such as: ++ /sys/devices/.../host17/vport-17:0-0/host18/rport-18:0-0/target18:0:0/18:0:0:0: ++ ++ Here's what to expect in the sysfs tree : ++ scsi_hosts: ++ /sys/class/scsi_host/host17 physical port's scsi_host ++ /sys/class/scsi_host/host18 vport's scsi_host ++ fc_hosts: ++ /sys/class/fc_host/host17 physical port's fc_host ++ /sys/class/fc_host/host18 vport's fc_host ++ fc_vports: ++ /sys/class/fc_vports/vport-17:0-0 the vport's fc_vport ++ fc_rports: ++ /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-17:0-0 rport on the physical port ++ /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-18:0-0 rport on the vport ++ ++ ++Vport Attributes: ++------------------------------- ++ ++ The new fc_vport class object has the following attributes ++ ++ node_name: Read_Only ++ The WWNN of the vport ++ ++ port_name: Read_Only ++ The WWPN of the vport ++ ++ roles: Read_Only ++ Indicates the FC4 roles enabled on the vport. ++ ++ symbolic_name: Read_Write ++ A string, appended to the driver's symbolic port name string, which ++ is registered with the switch to identify the vport. For example, ++ a hypervisor could set this string to "Xen Domain 2 VM 5 Vport 2", ++ and this set of identifiers can be seen on switch management screens ++ to identify the port. ++ ++ vport_delete: Write_Only ++ When written with a "1", will tear down the vport. ++ ++ vport_disable: Write_Only ++ When written with a "1", will transition the vport to a disabled. ++ state. The vport will still be instantiated with the Linux kernel, ++ but it will not be active on the FC link. ++ When written with a "0", will enable the vport. ++ ++ vport_last_state: Read_Only ++ Indicates the previous state of the vport. See the section below on ++ "Vport States". ++ ++ vport_state: Read_Only ++ Indicates the state of the vport. See the section below on ++ "Vport States". ++ ++ vport_type: Read_Only ++ Reflects the FC mechanism used to create the virtual port. ++ Only NPIV is supported currently. ++ ++ ++ For the fc_host class object, the following attributes are added for vports: ++ ++ max_npiv_vports: Read_Only ++ Indicates the maximum number of NPIV-based vports that the ++ driver/adapter can support on the fc_host. ++ ++ npiv_vports_inuse: Read_Only ++ Indicates how many NPIV-based vports have been instantiated on the ++ fc_host. ++ ++ vport_create: Write_Only ++ A "simple" create interface to instantiate a vport on an fc_host. ++ A ":" string is written to the attribute. The transport ++ then instantiates the vport object and calls the LLDD to create the ++ vport with the role of FCP_Initiator. Each WWN is specified as 16 ++ hex characters and may *not* contain any prefixes (e.g. 0x, x, etc). ++ ++ vport_delete: Write_Only ++ A "simple" delete interface to teardown a vport. A ":" ++ string is written to the attribute. The transport will locate the ++ vport on the fc_host with the same WWNs and tear it down. Each WWN ++ is specified as 16 hex characters and may *not* contain any prefixes ++ (e.g. 0x, x, etc). ++ ++ ++Vport States: ++------------------------------- ++ ++ Vport instantiation consists of two parts: ++ - Creation with the kernel and LLDD. This means all transport and ++ driver data structures are built up, and device objects created. ++ This is equivalent to a driver "attach" on an adapter, which is ++ independent of the adapter's link state. ++ - Instantiation of the vport on the FC link via ELS traffic, etc. ++ This is equivalent to a "link up" and successfull link initialization. ++ Futher information can be found in the interfaces section below for ++ Vport Creation. ++ ++ Once a vport has been instantiated with the kernel/LLDD, a vport state ++ can be reported via the sysfs attribute. The following states exist: ++ ++ FC_VPORT_UNKNOWN - Unknown ++ An temporary state, typically set only while the vport is being ++ instantiated with the kernel and LLDD. ++ ++ FC_VPORT_ACTIVE - Active ++ The vport has been successfully been created on the FC link. ++ It is fully functional. ++ ++ FC_VPORT_DISABLED - Disabled ++ The vport instantiated, but "disabled". The vport is not instantiated ++ on the FC link. This is equivalent to a physical port with the ++ link "down". ++ ++ FC_VPORT_LINKDOWN - Linkdown ++ The vport is not operational as the physical link is not operational. ++ ++ FC_VPORT_INITIALIZING - Initializing ++ The vport is in the process of instantiating on the FC link. ++ The LLDD will set this state just prior to starting the ELS traffic ++ to create the vport. This state will persist until the vport is ++ successfully created (state becomes FC_VPORT_ACTIVE) or it fails ++ (state is one of the values below). As this state is transitory, ++ it will not be preserved in the "vport_last_state". ++ ++ FC_VPORT_NO_FABRIC_SUPP - No Fabric Support ++ The vport is not operational. One of the following conditions were ++ encountered: ++ - The FC topology is not Point-to-Point ++ - The FC port is not connected to an F_Port ++ - The F_Port has indicated that NPIV is not supported. ++ ++ FC_VPORT_NO_FABRIC_RSCS - No Fabric Resources ++ The vport is not operational. The Fabric failed FDISC with a status ++ indicating that it does not have sufficient resources to complete ++ the operation. ++ ++ FC_VPORT_FABRIC_LOGOUT - Fabric Logout ++ The vport is not operational. The Fabric has LOGO'd the N_Port_ID ++ associated with the vport. ++ ++ FC_VPORT_FABRIC_REJ_WWN - Fabric Rejected WWN ++ The vport is not operational. The Fabric failed FDISC with a status ++ indicating that the WWN's are not valid. ++ ++ FC_VPORT_FAILED - VPort Failed ++ The vport is not operational. This is a catchall for all other ++ error conditions. ++ ++ ++ The following state table indicates the different state transitions: ++ ++ State Event New State ++ -------------------------------------------------------------------- ++ n/a Initialization Unknown ++ Unknown: Link Down Linkdown ++ Link Up & Loop No Fabric Support ++ Link Up & no Fabric No Fabric Support ++ Link Up & FLOGI response No Fabric Support ++ indicates no NPIV support ++ Link Up & FDISC being sent Initializing ++ Disable request Disable ++ Linkdown: Link Up Unknown ++ Initializing: FDISC ACC Active ++ FDISC LS_RJT w/ no resources No Fabric Resources ++ FDISC LS_RJT w/ invalid Fabric Rejected WWN ++ pname or invalid nport_id ++ FDISC LS_RJT failed for Vport Failed ++ other reasons ++ Link Down Linkdown ++ Disable request Disable ++ Disable: Enable request Unknown ++ Active: LOGO received from fabric Fabric Logout ++ Link Down Linkdown ++ Disable request Disable ++ Fabric Logout: Link still up Unknown ++ ++ The following 4 error states all have the same transitions: ++ No Fabric Support: ++ No Fabric Resources: ++ Fabric Rejected WWN: ++ Vport Failed: ++ Disable request Disable ++ Link goes down Linkdown ++ ++ ++Transport <-> LLDD Interfaces : ++------------------------------- ++ ++Vport support by LLDD: ++ ++ The LLDD indicates support for vports by supplying a vport_create() ++ function in the transport template. The presense of this function will ++ cause the creation of the new attributes on the fc_host. As part of ++ the physical port completing its initialization relative to the ++ transport, it should set the max_npiv_vports attribute to indicate the ++ maximum number of vports the driver and/or adapter supports. ++ ++ ++Vport Creation: ++ ++ The LLDD vport_create() syntax is: ++ ++ int vport_create(struct fc_vport *vport, bool disable) ++ ++ where: ++ vport: Is the newly allocated vport object ++ disable: If "true", the vport is to be created in a disabled stated. ++ If "false", the vport is to be enabled upon creation. ++ ++ When a request is made to create a new vport (via sgio/netlink, or the ++ vport_create fc_host attribute), the transport will validate that the LLDD ++ can support another vport (e.g. max_npiv_vports > npiv_vports_inuse). ++ If not, the create request will be failed. If space remains, the transport ++ will increment the vport count, create the vport object, and then call the ++ LLDD's vport_create() function with the newly allocated vport object. ++ ++ As mentioned above, vport creation is divided into two parts: ++ - Creation with the kernel and LLDD. This means all transport and ++ driver data structures are built up, and device objects created. ++ This is equivalent to a driver "attach" on an adapter, which is ++ independent of the adapter's link state. ++ - Instantiation of the vport on the FC link via ELS traffic, etc. ++ This is equivalent to a "link up" and successfull link initialization. ++ ++ The LLDD's vport_create() function will not synchronously wait for both ++ parts to be fully completed before returning. It must validate that the ++ infrastructure exists to support NPIV, and complete the first part of ++ vport creation (data structure build up) before returning. We do not ++ hinge vport_create() on the link-side operation mainly because: ++ - The link may be down. It is not a failure if it is. It simply ++ means the vport is in an inoperable state until the link comes up. ++ This is consistent with the link bouncing post vport creation. ++ - The vport may be created in a disabled state. ++ - This is consistent with a model where: the vport equates to a ++ FC adapter. The vport_create is synonymous with driver attachment ++ to the adapter, which is independent of link state. ++ ++ Note: special error codes have been defined to delineate infrastructure ++ failure cases for quicker resolution. ++ ++ The expected behavior for the LLDD's vport_create() function is: ++ - Validate Infrastructure: ++ - If the driver or adapter cannot support another vport, whether ++ due to improper firmware, (a lie about) max_npiv, or a lack of ++ some other resource - return VPCERR_UNSUPPORTED. ++ - If the driver validates the WWN's against those already active on ++ the adapter and detects an overlap - return VPCERR_BAD_WWN. ++ - If the driver detects the topology is loop, non-fabric, or the ++ FLOGI did not support NPIV - return VPCERR_NO_FABRIC_SUPP. ++ - Allocate data structures. If errors are encountered, such as out ++ of memory conditions, return the respective negative Exxx error code. ++ - If the role is FCP Initiator, the LLDD is to : ++ - Call scsi_host_alloc() to allocate a scsi_host for the vport. ++ - Call scsi_add_host(new_shost, &vport->dev) to start the scsi_host ++ and bind it as a child of the vport device. ++ - Initializes the fc_host attribute values. ++ - Kick of further vport state transitions based on the disable flag and ++ link state - and return success (zero). ++ ++ LLDD Implementers Notes: ++ - It is suggested that there be a different fc_function_templates for ++ the physical port and the virtual port. The physical port's template ++ would have the vport_create, vport_delete, and vport_disable functions, ++ while the vports would not. ++ - It is suggested that there be different scsi_host_templates ++ for the physical port and virtual port. Likely, there are driver ++ attributes, embedded into the scsi_host_template, that are applicable ++ for the physical port only (link speed, topology setting, etc). This ++ ensures that the attributes are applicable to the respective scsi_host. ++ ++ ++Vport Disable/Enable: ++ ++ The LLDD vport_disable() syntax is: ++ ++ int vport_disable(struct fc_vport *vport, bool disable) ++ ++ where: ++ vport: Is vport to to be enabled or disabled ++ disable: If "true", the vport is to be disabled. ++ If "false", the vport is to be enabled. ++ ++ When a request is made to change the disabled state on a vport, the ++ transport will validate the request against the existing vport state. ++ If the request is to disable and the vport is already disabled, the ++ request will fail. Similarly, if the request is to enable, and the ++ vport is not in a disabled state, the request will fail. If the request ++ is valid for the vport state, the transport will call the LLDD to ++ change the vport's state. ++ ++ Within the LLDD, if a vport is disabled, it remains instantiated with ++ the kernel and LLDD, but it is not active or visible on the FC link in ++ any way. (see Vport Creation and the 2 part instantiation discussion). ++ The vport will remain in this state until it is deleted or re-enabled. ++ When enabling a vport, the LLDD reinstantiates the vport on the FC ++ link - essentially restarting the LLDD statemachine (see Vport States ++ above). ++ ++ ++Vport Deletion: ++ ++ The LLDD vport_delete() syntax is: ++ ++ int vport_delete(struct fc_vport *vport) ++ ++ where: ++ vport: Is vport to delete ++ ++ When a request is made to delete a vport (via sgio/netlink, or via the ++ fc_host or fc_vport vport_delete attributes), the transport will call ++ the LLDD to terminate the vport on the FC link, and teardown all other ++ datastructures and references. If the LLDD completes successfully, ++ the transport will teardown the vport objects and complete the vport ++ removal. If the LLDD delete request fails, the vport object will remain, ++ but will be in an indeterminate state. ++ ++ Within the LLDD, the normal code paths for a scsi_host teardown should ++ be followed. E.g. If the vport has a FCP Initiator role, the LLDD ++ will call fc_remove_host() for the vports scsi_host, followed by ++ scsi_remove_host() and scsi_host_put() for the vports scsi_host. ++ ++ ++Other: ++ fc_host port_type attribute: ++ There is a new fc_host port_type value - FC_PORTTYPE_NPIV. This value ++ must be set on all vport-based fc_hosts. Normally, on a physical port, ++ the port_type attribute would be set to NPORT, NLPORT, etc based on the ++ topology type and existence of the fabric. As this is not applicable to ++ a vport, it makes more sense to report the FC mechanism used to create ++ the vport. ++ ++ Driver unload: ++ FC drivers are required to call fc_remove_host() prior to calling ++ scsi_remove_host(). This allows the fc_host to tear down all remote ++ ports prior the scsi_host being torn down. The fc_remove_host() call ++ was updated to remove all vports for the fc_host as well. ++ ++ ++Credits ++======= ++The following people have contributed to this document: ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++James Smart ++james.smart@emulex.com ++ +diff -Nurp linux-2.6.22/Documentation/sound/oss/AD1816 linux-2.6-netns/Documentation/sound/oss/AD1816 +--- linux-2.6.22/Documentation/sound/oss/AD1816 2007-07-08 19:32:17.000000000 -0400 ++++ linux-2.6-netns/Documentation/sound/oss/AD1816 1969-12-31 19:00:00.000000000 -0500 +@@ -1,84 +0,0 @@ +-Documentation for the AD1816(A) sound driver +-============================================ +- +-Installation: +-------------- +- +-To get your AD1816(A) based sound card work, you'll have to enable support for +-experimental code ("Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers") +-and isapnp ("Plug and Play support", "ISA Plug and Play support").

It may be possible to support other speeds in the future. +- +- * There is no support for the telephone mixer/codec.

It will +-thus write over either the pointer or the sound buffer with abandon. +-(Accelerated-X seems to do a better job here.) +- +-This implies a few things: +- +- * Sometimes the NM256 driver has to guess at where the buffer +- should be placed, especially if the module is loaded after the +- X server is started.

His suggested command +-is +- +- insmod nm256 buffertop=0x272800 +- +-================= +-Official WWW site +-================= +- +-The official site for the NM256 driver is: +- +- http://www.uglx.org/sony.html +- +-You should always be able to get the latest version of the driver there, +-and the driver will be supported for the foreseeable future. +- +-============== +-Z505RX and IDE +-============== +- +-There appears to be a problem with the IDE chipset on the Z505RX; one +-of the symptoms is that sound playback periodically hangs (when the +-disk is accessed). The user reporting the problem also reported that +-enabling all of the IDE chipset workarounds in the kernel solved the +-problem, tho obviously only one of them should be needed--if someone +-can give me more details I would appreciate it. +- +-============================== +-Z505S/Z505SX on-board Ethernet +-============================== +- +-If you're using the on-board Ethernet Pro/100 ethernet support on the Z505 +-series, I strongly encourage you to download the latest eepro100 driver from +-Donald Becker's site: +- +- ftp://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/linux/drivers/test/eepro100.c +- +-There was a reported problem on the Z505SX that if the ethernet +-interface is disabled and reenabled while the sound driver is loaded, +-the machine would lock up. I have included a workaround that is +-working satisfactorily. However, you may occasionally see a message +-about "Releasing interrupts, over 1000 bad interrupts" which indicates +-that the workaround is doing its job. +- +-================================== +-PCMCIA and the Z505S/Z505SX/Z505DX +-================================== +- +-There is also a known problem with the Sony Z505S and Z505SX hanging +-if a PCMCIA card is inserted while the ethernet driver is loaded, or +-in some cases if the laptop is suspended. This is caused by tons of +-spurious IRQ 9s, probably generated from the PCMCIA or ACPI bridges. +- +-There is currently no fix for the problem that works in every case. +-The only known workarounds are to disable the ethernet interface +-before inserting or removing a PCMCIA card, or with some cards +-disabling the PCMCIA card before ejecting it will also help the +-problem with the laptop hanging when the card is ejected. +- +-One user has reported that setting the tcic's cs_irq to some value +-other than 9 (like 11) fixed the problem. This doesn't work on my +-Z505S, however--changing the value causes the cardmgr to stop seeing +-card insertions and removals, cards don't seem to work correctly, and +-I still get hangs if a card is inserted when the kernel is booted. +- +-Using the latest ethernet driver and pcmcia package allows me to +-insert an Adaptec 1480A SlimScsi card without the laptop hanging, +-although I still have to shut down the card before ejecting or +-powering down the laptop. However, similar experiments with a DE-660 +-ethernet card still result in hangs when the card is inserted. I am +-beginning to think that the interrupts are CardBus-related, since the +-Adaptec card is a CardBus card, and the DE-660 is not; however, I +-don't have any other CardBus cards to test with. +- +-====== +-Thanks +-====== +- +-First, I want to thank everyone (except NeoMagic of course) for their +-generous support and encouragement.

After an email exhange with +-Yamaha, however, it turns out that the 719 is just a re-badged +-715, and the chipsets are identical. The chipset detection code +-has been updated to reflect this. +- +-Anyways, all of these chipsets implement the following devices: +- +-OPL3 FM synthesizer +-Soundblaster Pro +-Microsoft/Windows Sound System +-MPU401 MIDI interface +- +-Note that this driver uses the MSS device, and to my knowledge these +-chipsets enforce an either/or situation with the Soundblaster Pro +-device and the MSS device. Since the MSS device has better +-capabilities, I have implemented the driver to use it. +- +- +-Mixer Channels +--------------- +- +-Older versions of this driver (pre-December 2000) had two mixers, +-an OPL3-SA2 or SA3 mixer and a MSS mixer. The OPL3-SA[23] mixer +-device contained a superset of mixer channels consisting of its own +-channels and all of the MSS mixer channels. To simplify the driver +-considerably, and to partition functionality better, the OPL3-SA[23] +-mixer device now contains has its own specific mixer channels. They +-are: +- +-Volume - Hardware master volume control +-Bass - SA3 only, now supports left and right channels +-Treble - SA3 only, now supports left and right channels +-Microphone - Hardware microphone input volume control +-Digital1 - Yamaha 3D enhancement "Wide" mixer +- +-All other mixer channels (e.g. "PCM", "CD", etc.) now have to be +-controlled via the "MS Sound System (CS4231)" mixer. To facilitate +-this, the mixer device creation order has been switched so that +-the MSS mixer is created first. This allows accessing the majority +-of the useful mixer channels even via single mixer-aware tools +-such as "aumix". +- +- +-Plug 'n Play +------------- +- +-In previous kernels (2.2.x), some configuration was required to +-get the driver to talk to the card. Being the new millennium and +-all, the 2.4.x kernels now support auto-configuration if ISA PnP +-support is configured in. Theoretically, the driver even supports +-having more than one card in this case. +- +-With the addition of PnP support to the driver, two new parameters +-have been added to control it: +- +-isapnp - set to 0 to disable ISA PnP card detection +- +-multiple - set to 0 to disable multiple PnP card detection +- +- +-Optional Parameters +-------------------- +- +-Recent (December 2000) additions to the driver (based on a patch +-provided by Peter Englmaier) are two new parameters: +- +-ymode - Set Yamaha 3D enhancement mode: +- 0 = Desktop/Normal 5-12 cm speakers +- 1 = Notebook PC (1) 3 cm speakers +- 2 = Notebook PC (2) 1.5 cm speakers +- 3 = Hi-Fi 16-38 cm speakers +- +-loopback - Set A/D input source. Useful for echo cancellation: +- 0 = Mic Right channel (default) +- 1 = Mono output loopback +- +-The ymode parameter has been tested and does work. The loopback +-parameter, however, is untested. Any feedback on its usefulness +-would be appreciated. +- +- +-Manual Configuration +--------------------- +- +-If for some reason you decide not to compile ISA PnP support into +-your kernel, or disabled the driver's usage of it by setting the +-isapnp parameter as discussed above, then you will need to do some +-manual configuration. There are two ways of doing this. The most +-common is to use the isapnptools package to initialize the card, and +-use the kernel module form of the sound subsystem and sound drivers. +-Alternatively, some BIOS's allow manual configuration of installed +-PnP devices in a BIOS menu, which should allow using the non-modular +-sound drivers, i.e. built into the kernel. +- +-I personally use isapnp and modules, and do not have access to a PnP +-BIOS machine to test. If you have such a beast, configuring the +-driver to be built into the kernel should just work (thanks to work +-done by David Luyer ). You will still need +-to specify settings, which can be done by adding: +- +-opl3sa2=,,,,, +- +-to the kernel command line. For example: +- +-opl3sa2=0x370,5,0,1,0x530,0x330 +- +-If you are instead using the isapnp tools (as most people have been +-before Linux 2.4.x), follow the directions in their documentation to +-produce a configuration file.

This can't be shared with true SPI devices, but other 3-wire ++devices might share the same SI/SO pin. ++ ++The bitbanger routine in this driver (lm70_txrx) is called back from ++the bound "hwmon/lm70" protocol driver through its sysfs hook, using a ++spi_write_then_read() call.

This ++is so that devices can maintain their internal state and hubs can ++detect connect-change events (devices being plugged in or unplugged). ++The technical term is "power session". ++ ++If a USB device's power session is interrupted then the system is ++required to behave as though the device has been unplugged. It's a ++conservative approach; in the absence of suspend current the computer ++has no way to know what has actually happened. Perhaps the same ++device is still attached or perhaps it was removed and a different ++device plugged into the port. The system must assume the worst. ++ ++By default, Linux behaves according to the spec. If a USB host ++controller loses power during a system suspend, then when the system ++wakes up all the devices attached to that controller are treated as ++though they had disconnected. This is always safe and it is the ++"officially correct" thing to do. ++ ++For many sorts of devices this behavior doesn't matter in the least. ++If the kernel wants to believe that your USB keyboard was unplugged ++while the system was asleep and a new keyboard was plugged in when the ++system woke up, who cares? It'll still work the same when you type on ++it. ++ ++Unfortunately problems _can_ arise, particularly with mass-storage ++devices. The effect is exactly the same as if the device really had ++been unplugged while the system was suspended. If you had a mounted ++filesystem on the device, you're out of luck -- everything in that ++filesystem is now inaccessible. This is especially annoying if your ++root filesystem was located on the device, since your system will ++instantly crash. ++ ++Loss of power isn't the only mechanism to worry about. Anything that ++interrupts a power session will have the same effect. For example, ++even though suspend current may have been maintained while the system ++was asleep, on many systems during the initial stages of wakeup the ++firmware (i.e., the BIOS) resets the motherboard's USB host ++controllers. Result: all the power sessions are destroyed and again ++it's as though you had unplugged all the USB devices. Yes, it's ++entirely the BIOS's fault, but that doesn't do _you_ any good unless ++you can convince the BIOS supplier to fix the problem (lots of luck!). ++ ++On many systems the USB host controllers will get reset after a ++suspend-to-RAM. On almost all systems, no suspend current is ++available during hibernation (also known as swsusp or suspend-to-disk). ++You can check the kernel log after resuming to see if either of these ++has happened; look for lines saying "root hub lost power or was reset". ++ ++In practice, people are forced to unmount any filesystems on a USB ++device before suspending. If the root filesystem is on a USB device, ++the system can't be suspended at all. (All right, it _can_ be ++suspended -- but it will crash as soon as it wakes up, which isn't ++much better.) ++ ++ ++ What is the solution? ++ ++Setting CONFIG_USB_PERSIST will cause the kernel to work around these ++issues. It enables a mode in which the core USB device data ++structures are allowed to persist across a power-session disruption. ++It works like this. If the kernel sees that a USB host controller is ++not in the expected state during resume (i.e., if the controller was ++reset or otherwise had lost power) then it applies a persistence check ++to each of the USB devices below that controller for which the ++"persist" attribute is set. It doesn't try to resume the device; that ++can't work once the power session is gone. Instead it issues a USB ++port reset and then re-enumerates the device. (This is exactly the ++same thing that happens whenever a USB device is reset.) If the ++re-enumeration shows that the device now attached to that port has the ++same descriptors as before, including the Vendor and Product IDs, then ++the kernel continues to use the same device structure. In effect, the ++kernel treats the device as though it had merely been reset instead of ++unplugged. ++ ++If no device is now attached to the port, or if the descriptors are ++different from what the kernel remembers, then the treatment is what ++you would expect. The kernel destroys the old device structure and ++behaves as though the old device had been unplugged and a new device ++plugged in, just as it would without the CONFIG_USB_PERSIST option. ++ ++The end result is that the USB device remains available and usable. ++Filesystem mounts and memory mappings are unaffected, and the world is ++now a good and happy place. ++ ++Note that even when CONFIG_USB_PERSIST is set, the "persist" feature ++will be applied only to those devices for which it is enabled. You ++can enable the feature by doing (as root): ++ ++ echo 1 >/sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/persist ++ ++where the "..." should be filled in the with the device's ID. Disable ++the feature by writing 0 instead of 1. For hubs the feature is ++automatically and permanently enabled, so you only have to worry about ++setting it for devices where it really matters. ++ ++ ++ Is this the best solution? ++ ++Perhaps not. Arguably, keeping track of mounted filesystems and ++memory mappings across device disconnects should be handled by a ++centralized Logical Volume Manager. Such a solution would allow you ++to plug in a USB flash device, create a persistent volume associated ++with it, unplug the flash device, plug it back in later, and still ++have the same persistent volume associated with the device. As such ++it would be more far-reaching than CONFIG_USB_PERSIST. ++ ++On the other hand, writing a persistent volume manager would be a big ++job and using it would require significant input from the user. This ++solution is much quicker and easier -- and it exists now, a giant ++point in its favor! ++ ++Furthermore, the USB_PERSIST option applies to _all_ USB devices, not ++just mass-storage devices. It might turn out to be equally useful for ++other device types, such as network interfaces. ++ ++ ++ WARNING: Using CONFIG_USB_PERSIST can be dangerous!! ++ ++When recovering an interrupted power session the kernel does its best ++to make sure the USB device hasn't been changed; that is, the same ++device is still plugged into the port as before. But the checks ++aren't guaranteed to be 100% accurate. ++ ++If you replace one USB device with another of the same type (same ++manufacturer, same IDs, and so on) there's an excellent chance the ++kernel won't detect the change. Serial numbers and other strings are ++not compared. In many cases it wouldn't help if they were, because ++manufacturers frequently omit serial numbers entirely in their ++devices. ++ ++Furthermore it's quite possible to leave a USB device exactly the same ++while changing its media. If you replace the flash memory card in a ++USB card reader while the system is asleep, the kernel will have no ++way to know you did it. The kernel will assume that nothing has ++happened and will continue to use the partition tables, inodes, and ++memory mappings for the old card. ++ ++If the kernel gets fooled in this way, it's almost certain to cause ++data corruption and to crash your system.

2.6.x主内核源码树 ++ - 2.6.x.y -stable内核源码树 ++ - 2.6.x -git内核补丁集 ++ - 2.6.x -mm内核补丁集 ++ - 子系统相关的内核源码树和补丁集 ++ ++ ++2.6.x内核主源码树 ++----------------- ++2.6.x内核是由Linus Torvalds（Linux的创造者）亲自维护的。你可以在 ++kernel.org网站的pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/目录下找到它。它的开发遵循以下步 ++骤： ++ - 每当一个新版本的内核被发布，为期两周的集成窗口将被打开。在这段时间里 ++ 维护者可以向Linus提交大段的修改，通常这些修改已经被放到-mm内核中几个 ++ 星期了。提交大量修改的首选方式是使用git工具（内核的代码版本管理工具 ++ ，更多的信息可以在http://git.or.cz/获取），不过使用普通补丁也是可以 ++ 的。 ++ - 两个星期以后-rc1版本内核发布。之后只有不包含可能影响整个内核稳定性的 ++ 新功能的补丁才可能被接受。请注意一个全新的驱动程序（或者文件系统）有 ++ 可能在-rc1后被接受是因为这样的修改完全独立，不会影响其他的代码，所以 ++ 没有造成内核退步的风险。在-rc1以后也可以用git向Linus提交补丁，不过所 ++ 有的补丁需要同时被发送到相应的公众邮件列表以征询意见。 ++ - 当Linus认为当前的git源码树已经达到一个合理健全的状态足以发布供人测试 ++ 时，一个新的-rc版本就会被发布。计划是每周都发布新的-rc版本。 ++ - 这个过程一直持续下去直到内核被认为达到足够稳定的状态，持续时间大概是 ++ 6个星期。 ++ ++关于内核发布，值得一提的是Andrew Morton在linux-kernel邮件列表中如是说： ++ “没有人知道新内核何时会被发布，因为发布是根据已知bug的情况来决定 ++ 的，而不是根据一个事先制定好的时间表。” ++ ++ ++2.6.x.y -stable（稳定版）内核源码树 ++----------------------------------- ++由4个数字组成的内核版本号说明此内核是-stable版本。它们包含基于2.6.x版本 ++内核的相对较小且至关重要的修补，这些修补针对安全性问题或者严重的内核退步。 ++ ++这种版本的内核适用于那些期望获得最新的稳定版内核并且不想参与测试开发版或 ++者实验版的用户。 ++ ++如果没有2.6.x.y版本内核存在，那么最新的2.6.x版本内核就相当于是当前的稳定 ++版内核。 ++ ++2.6.x.y版本由“稳定版”小组（邮件地址）维护，一般隔周发 ++布新版本。 ++ ++内核源码中的Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt文件具体描述了可被稳定 ++版内核接受的修改类型以及发布的流程。 ++ ++ ++2.6.x -git补丁集 ++---------------- ++Linus的内核源码树的每日快照，这个源码树是由git工具管理的（由此得名）。这 ++些补丁通常每天更新以反映Linus的源码树的最新状态。它们比-rc版本的内核源码 ++树更具试验性质，因为这个补丁集是全自动生成的，没有任何人来确认其是否真正 ++健全。 ++ ++ ++2.6.x -mm补丁集 ++--------------- ++这是由Andrew Morton维护的试验性内核补丁集。Andrew将所有子系统的内核源码 ++和补丁拼凑到一起，并且加入了大量从linux-kernel邮件列表中采集的补丁。这个 ++源码树是新功能和补丁的试炼场。当补丁在-mm补丁集里证明了其价值以后Andrew ++或者相应子系统的维护者会将补丁发给Linus以便集成进主内核源码树。 ++ ++在将所有新补丁发给Linus以集成到主内核源码树之前，我们非常鼓励先把这些补 ++丁放在-mm版内核源码树中进行测试。 ++ ++这些内核版本不适合在需要稳定运行的系统上运行，因为运行它们比运行任何其他 ++内核分支都更具有风险。 ++ ++如果你想为内核开发进程提供帮助，请尝试并使用这些内核版本，并在 ++linux-kernel邮件列表中提供反馈，告诉大家你遇到了问题还是一切正常。 ++ ++通常-mm版补丁集不光包括这些额外的试验性补丁，还包括发布时-git版主源码树 ++中的改动。 ++ ++-mm版内核没有固定的发布周期，但是通常在每两个-rc版内核发布之间都会有若干 ++个-mm版内核发布（一般是1至3个）。 ++ ++ ++子系统相关内核源码树和补丁集 ++---------------------------- ++相当一部分内核子系统开发者会公开他们自己的开发源码树，以便其他人能了解内 ++核的不同领域正在发生的事情。如上所述，这些源码树会被集成到-mm版本内核中。 ++ ++下面是目前可用的一些内核源码树的列表： ++ 通过git管理的源码树： ++ -

批评 ++ - 评论 ++ - 要求修改 ++ - 要求证明修改的必要性 ++ - 沉默 ++ ++要记住，这些是把补丁放进内核的正常情况。你必须学会听取对补丁的批评和评论， ++从技术层面评估它们，然后要么重写你的补丁要么简明扼要地论证修改是不必要 ++的。如果你发的邮件没有得到任何回应，请过几天后再试一次，因为有时信件会湮 ++没在茫茫信海中。 ++ ++你不应该做的事情： ++ - 期望自己的补丁不受任何质疑就直接被接受 ++ - 翻脸 ++ - 忽略别人的评论 ++ - 没有按照别人的要求做任何修改就重新提交 ++ ++在一个努力追寻最好技术方案的社区里，对于一个补丁有多少好处总会有不同的见 ++解。你必须要抱着合作的态度，愿意改变自己的观点来适应内核的风格。或者至少 ++愿意去证明你的想法是有价值的。记住，犯错误是允许的，只要你愿意朝着正确的 ++方案去努力。 ++ ++如果你的第一个补丁换来的是一堆修改建议，这是很正常的。这并不代表你的补丁 ++不会被接受，也不意味着有人和你作对。你只需要改正所有提出的问题然后重新发 ++送你的补丁。 ++ ++内核社区和公司文化的差异 ++------------------------ ++ ++内核社区的工作模式同大多数传统公司开发队伍的工作模式并不相同。下面这些例 ++子，可以帮助你避免某些可能发生问题： ++ 用这些话介绍你的修改提案会有好处： ++ - 它同时解决了多个问题 ++ - 它删除了2000行代码 ++ - 这是补丁，它已经解释了我想要说明的 ++ - 我在5种不同的体系结构上测试过它…… ++ - 这是一系列小补丁用来…… ++ - 这个修改提高了普通机器的性能…… ++ ++ 应该避免如下的说法： ++ - 我们在AIX/ptx/Solaris就是这么做的，所以这么做肯定是好的…… ++ - 我做这行已经20年了，所以…… ++ - 为了我们公司赚钱考虑必须这么做 ++ - 这是我们的企业产品线所需要的 ++ - 这里是描述我观点的1000页设计文档 ++ - 这是一个5000行的补丁用来…… ++ - 我重写了现在乱七八糟的代码，这就是…… ++ - 我被规定了最后期限，所以这个补丁需要立刻被接受 ++ ++另外一个内核社区与大部分传统公司的软件开发队伍不同的地方是无法面对面地交 ++流。使用电子邮件和IRC聊天工具做为主要沟通工具的一个好处是性别和种族歧视 ++将会更少。Linux内核的工作环境更能接受妇女和少数族群，因为每个人在别人眼 ++里只是一个邮件地址。国际化也帮助了公平的实现，因为你无法通过姓名来判断人 ++的性别。男人有可能叫李丽，女人也有可能叫王刚。大多数在Linux内核上工作过 ++并表达过看法的女性对在linux上工作的经历都给出了正面的评价。 ++ ++对于一些不习惯使用英语的人来说，语言可能是一个引起问题的障碍。在邮件列表 ++中要正确地表达想法必需良好地掌握语言，所以建议你在发送邮件之前最好检查一 ++下英文写得是否正确。 ++ ++ ++拆分修改 ++-------- ++ ++Linux内核社区并不喜欢一下接收大段的代码。修改需要被恰当地介绍、讨论并且 ++拆分成独立的小段。这几乎完全和公司中的习惯背道而驰。你的想法应该在开发最 ++开始的阶段就让大家知道，这样你就可以及时获得对你正在进行的开发的反馈。这 ++样也会让社区觉得你是在和他们协作，而不是仅仅把他们当作倾销新功能的对象。 ++无论如何，你不要一次性地向邮件列表发送50封信，你的补丁序列应该永远用不到 ++这么多。 ++ ++将补丁拆开的原因如下： ++ ++1) 小的补丁更有可能被接受，因为它们不需要太多的时间和精力去验证其正确性。 ++ 一个5行的补丁，可能在维护者看了一眼以后就会被接受。而500行的补丁则 ++ 需要数个小时来审查其正确性（所需时间随补丁大小增加大约呈指数级增长）。 ++ ++ 当出了问题的时候，小的补丁也会让调试变得非常容易。一个一个补丁地回溯 ++ 将会比仔细剖析一个被打上的大补丁（这个补丁破坏了其他东西）容易得多。 ++ ++2）不光发送小的补丁很重要，在提交之前重新编排、化简（或者仅仅重新排列） ++ 补丁也是很重要的。 ++ ++这里有内核开发者Al Viro打的一个比方： ++ “想象一个老师正在给学生批改数学作业。老师并不希望看到学生为了得 ++ 到正确解法所进行的尝试和产生的错误。他希望看到的是最干净最优雅的 ++ 解答。好学生了解这点，绝不会把最终解决之前的中间方案提交上去。” ++ ++ 内核开发也是这样。维护者和评审者不希望看到一个人在解决问题时的思 ++ 考过程。他们只希望看到简单和优雅的解决方案。 ++ ++直接给出一流的解决方案，和社区一起协作讨论尚未完成的工作，这两者之间似乎 ++很难找到一个平衡点。所以最好尽早开始收集有利于你进行改进的反馈；同时也要 ++保证修改分成很多小块，这样在整个项目都准备好被包含进内核之前，其中的一部 ++分可能会先被接收。 ++ ++必须了解这样做是不可接受的：试图将未完成的工作提交进内核，然后再找时间修 ++复。 ++ ++ ++证明修改的必要性 ++---------------- ++除了将补丁拆成小块，很重要的一点是让Linux社区了解他们为什么需要这样修改。 ++你必须证明新功能是有人需要的并且是有用的。 ++ ++ ++记录修改 ++-------- ++ ++当你发送补丁的时候，需要特别留意邮件正文的内容。因为这里的信息将会做为补 ++丁的修改记录(ChangeLog)，会被一直保留以备大家查阅。它需要完全地描述补丁， ++包括： ++ - 为什么需要这个修改 ++ - 补丁的总体设计 ++ - 实现细节 ++ - 测试结果 ++ ++想了解它具体应该看起来像什么，请查阅以下文档中的“ChangeLog”章节： ++ “The Perfect Patch” ++ http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/tpp.txt ++ ++ ++这些事情有时候做起来很难。要在任何方面都做到完美可能需要好几年时间。这是 ++一个持续提高的过程，它需要大量的耐心和决心。只要不放弃，你一定可以做到。 ++很多人已经做到了，而他们都曾经和现在的你站在同样的起点上。 ++ ++ ++--------------- ++感谢Paolo Ciarrocchi允许“开发流程”部分基于他所写的文章 ++(http://linux.tar.bz/articles/2.6-development_process)，感谢Randy ++Dunlap和Gerrit Huizenga完善了应该说和不该说的列表。感谢Pat Mochel, Hanna ++Linder, Randy Dunlap, Kay Sievers, Vojtech Pavlik, Jan Kara, Josh Boyer, ++Kees Cook, Andrew Morton, Andi Kleen, Vadim Lobanov, Jesper Juhl, Adrian ++Bunk, Keri Harris, Frans Pop, David A.

取决于所用的C编译器的版本，不同的内核数据结构里的结构体的对齐方 ++式会有差别，代码中不同函数的表现形式也不一样（函数是不是被inline编译取 ++决于编译器行为）。不同的函数的表现形式并不重要，但是数据结构内部的对齐 ++方式很关键。 ++ - 取决于内核的配置选项，不同的选项会让内核的很多东西发生改变： ++ - 同一个结构体可能包含不同的成员变量 ++ - 有的函数可能根本不会被实现（比如编译的时候没有选择SMP支持 ++，一些锁函数就会被定义成空函数）。 ++ - 内核使用的内存会以不同的方式对齐，这取决于不同的内核配置选 ++项。 ++ - Linux可以在很多的不同体系结构的处理器上运行。在某个体系结构上编 ++译好的二进制驱动程序，不可能在另外一个体系结构上正确的运行。 ++ ++对于一个特定的内核，满足这些条件并不难，使用同一个C编译器和同样的内核配 ++置选项来编译驱动程序模块就可以了。这对于给一个特定Linux发布的特定版本提 ++供驱动程序，是完全可以满足需求的。但是如果你要给不同发布的不同版本都发 ++布一个驱动程序，就需要在每个发布上用不同的内核设置参数都编译一次内核， ++这简直跟噩梦一样。而且还要注意到，每个Linux发布还提供不同的Linux内核， ++这些内核都针对不同的硬件类型进行了优化（有很多种不同的处理器，还有不同 ++的内核设置选项）。所以每发布一次驱动程序，都需要提供很多不同版本的内核 ++模块。 ++ ++相信我，如果你真的要采取这种发布方式，一定会慢慢疯掉，我很久以前就有过 ++深刻的教训... ++ ++ ++稳定的内核源代码接口 ++-------------------- ++ ++如果有人不将他的内核驱动程序，放入公版内核的源代码树，而又想让驱动程序 ++一直保持在最新的内核中可用，那么这个话题将会变得没完没了。 ++ 内核开发是持续而且快节奏的，从来都不会慢下来。内核开发人员在当前接口中 ++找到bug，或者找到更好的实现方式。一旦发现这些，他们就很快会去修改当前的 ++接口。修改接口意味着，函数名可能会改变，结构体可能被扩充或者删减，函数 ++的参数也可能发生改变。一旦接口被修改，内核中使用这些接口的地方需要同时 ++修正，这样才能保证所有的东西继续工作。 ++ ++举一个例子，内核的USB驱动程序接口在USB子系统的整个生命周期中，至少经历 ++了三次重写。这些重写解决以下问题： ++ - 把数据流从同步模式改成非同步模式，这个改动减少了一些驱动程序的 ++复杂度，提高了所有USB驱动程序的吞吐率，这样几乎所有的USB设备都能以最大 ++速率工作了。 ++ - 修改了USB核心代码中为USB驱动分配数据包内存的方式，所有的驱动都 ++需要提供更多的参数给USB核心，以修正了很多已经被记录在案的死锁。 ++ ++这和一些封闭源代码的操作系统形成鲜明的对比，在那些操作系统上，不得不额 ++外的维护旧的USB接口。这导致了一个可能性，新的开发者依然会不小心使用旧的 ++接口，以不恰当的方式编写代码，进而影响到操作系统的稳定性。 ++ 在上面的例子中，所有的开发者都同意这些重要的改动，在这样的情况下修改代 ++价很低。如果Linux保持一个稳定的内核源代码接口，那么就得创建一个新的接口 ++；旧的，有问题的接口必须一直维护，给Linux USB开发者带来额外的工作。既然 ++所有的Linux USB驱动的作者都是利用自己的时间工作，那么要求他们去做毫无意 ++义的免费额外工作，是不可能的。 ++ 安全问题对Linux来说十分重要。一个安全问题被发现，就会在短时间内得到修 ++正。在很多情况下，这将导致Linux内核中的一些接口被重写，以从根本上避免安 ++全问题。一旦接口被重写，所有使用这些接口的驱动程序，必须同时得到修正， ++以确定安全问题已经得到修复并且不可能在未来还有同样的安全问题。如果内核 ++内部接口不允许改变，那么就不可能修复这样的安全问题，也不可能确认这样的 ++安全问题以后不会发生。 ++开发者一直在清理内核接口。如果一个接口没有人在使用了，它就会被删除。这 ++样可以确保内核尽可能的小，而且所有潜在的接口都会得到尽可能完整的测试 ++（没有人使用的接口是不可能得到良好的测试的）。 ++ ++ ++要做什么 ++------- ++ ++如果你写了一个Linux内核驱动，但是它还不在Linux源代码树里，作为一个开发 ++者，你应该怎么做？为每个发布的每个版本提供一个二进制驱动，那简直是一个 ++噩梦，要跟上永远处于变化之中的内核接口，也是一件辛苦活。 ++很简单，让你的驱动进入内核源代码树（要记得我们在谈论的是以GPL许可发行 ++的驱动，如果你的代码不符合GPL，那么祝你好运，你只能自己解决这个问题了， ++你这个吸血鬼<把Andrew和Linus对吸血鬼的定义链接到这里>）。当你的代码加入 ++公版内核源代码树之后，如果一个内核接口改变，你的驱动会直接被修改接口的 ++那个人修改。保证你的驱动永远都可以编译通过，并且一直工作，你几乎不需要 ++做什么事情。 ++ ++把驱动放到内核源代码树里会有很多的好处： ++ -
