This simplifies administration and +allows the sharing of data between volumes, thus reducing disk usage. + +Another significant feature is support for an arbitrary depth of +recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The +previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together +lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth). This new +implementation uses a single data structure to avoid this degradation +with depth. Fragmentation may still be an issue, however, in some +scenarios. + +Metadata is stored on a separate device from data, giving the +administrator some freedom, for example to: + +- Improve metadata resilience by storing metadata on a mirrored volume + but data on a non-mirrored one. + +- Improve performance by storing the metadata on SSD. + +Status +====== + +These targets are very much still in the EXPERIMENTAL state.

The largest size supported is 16GB. + +If you're creating large numbers of snapshots which are recording large +amounts of change, you may need find you need to increase this. + +Reloading a pool table +---------------------- + +You may reload a pool's table, indeed this is how the pool is resized +if it runs out of space. (N.B. While specifying a different metadata +device when reloading is not forbidden at the moment, things will go +wrong if it does not route I/O to exactly the same on-disk location as +previously.) + +Using an existing pool device +----------------------------- + + dmsetup create pool \ + --table "0 20971520 thin-pool $metadata_dev $data_dev \ + $data_block_size $low_water_mark" + +$data_block_size gives the smallest unit of disk space that can be +allocated at a time expressed in units of 512-byte sectors. People +primarily interested in thin provisioning may want to use a value such +as 1024 (512KB). People doing lots of snapshotting may want a smaller value +such as 128 (64KB). If you are not zeroing newly-allocated data, +a larger $data_block_size in the region of 256000 (128MB) is suggested. +$data_block_size must be the same for the lifetime of the +metadata device. + +$low_water_mark is expressed in blocks of size $data_block_size. If +free space on the data device drops below this level then a dm event +will be triggered which a userspace daemon should catch allowing it to +extend the pool device. Only one such event will be sent. +Resuming a device with a new table itself triggers an event so the +userspace daemon can use this to detect a situation where a new table +already exceeds the threshold. + +Thin provisioning +----------------- + +i) Creating a new thinly-provisioned volume. + + To create a new thinly- provisioned volume you must send a message to an + active pool device, /dev/mapper/pool in this example. + + dmsetup message /dev/mapper/pool 0 "create_thin 0" + + Here '0' is an identifier for the volume, a 24-bit number. It's up + to the caller to allocate and manage these identifiers. If the + identifier is already in use, the message will fail with -EEXIST. + +ii) Using a thinly-provisioned volume. + + Thinly-provisioned volumes are activated using the 'thin' target: + + dmsetup create thin --table "0 2097152 thin /dev/mapper/pool 0" + + The last parameter is the identifier for the thinp device. + +Internal snapshots +------------------ + +i) Creating an internal snapshot. + + Snapshots are created with another message to the pool. + + N.B. If the origin device that you wish to snapshot is active, you + must suspend it before creating the snapshot to avoid corruption. + This is NOT enforced at the moment, so please be careful! + + dmsetup suspend /dev/mapper/thin + dmsetup message /dev/mapper/pool 0 "create_snap 1 0" + dmsetup resume /dev/mapper/thin + + Here '1' is the identifier for the volume, a 24-bit number. '0' is the + identifier for the origin device. + +ii) Using an internal snapshot. + + Once created, the user doesn't have to worry about any connection + between the origin and the snapshot. Indeed the snapshot is no + different from any other thinly-provisioned device and can be + snapshotted itself via the same method. It's perfectly legal to + have only one of them active, and there's no ordering requirement on + activating or removing them both. (This differs from conventional + device-mapper snapshots.) + + Activate it exactly the same way as any other thinly-provisioned volume: + + dmsetup create snap --table "0 2097152 thin /dev/mapper/pool 1" + +Deactivation +------------ + +All devices using a pool must be deactivated before the pool itself +can be. + + dmsetup remove thin + dmsetup remove snap + dmsetup remove pool + +Reference +========= + +'thin-pool' target +------------------ + +i) Constructor + + thin-pool <metadata dev> <data dev> <data block size (sectors)> \ + <low water mark (blocks)> [<number of feature args> [<arg>]*] + + Optional feature arguments: + - 'skip_block_zeroing': skips the zeroing of newly-provisioned blocks. + + Data block size must be between 64KB (128 sectors) and 1GB + (2097152 sectors) inclusive. + + +ii) Status + + <transaction id> <used metadata blocks>/<total metadata blocks> + <used data blocks>/<total data blocks> <held metadata root> + + + transaction id: + A 64-bit number used by userspace to help synchronise with metadata + from volume managers. + + used data blocks / total data blocks + If the number of free blocks drops below the pool's low water mark a + dm event will be sent to userspace.

The +Freescale MSI driver calculates the address of MSIIR (in the MSI register +block) and sets that address as the MSI message address. + +In a virtualized environment, the hypervisor may need to create an IOMMU +mapping for MSIIR. The Freescale ePAPR hypervisor has this requirement +because of hardware limitations of the Peripheral Access Management Unit +(PAMU), which is currently the only IOMMU that the hypervisor supports. +The ATMU is programmed with the guest physical address, and the PAMU +intercepts transactions and reroutes them to the true physical address. + +In the PAMU, each PCI controller is given only one primary window. The +PAMU restricts DMA operations so that they can only occur within a window. +Because PCI devices must be able to DMA to memory, the primary window must +be used to cover all of the guest's memory space. + +PAMU primary windows can be divided into 256 subwindows, and each +subwindow can have its own address mapping ("guest physical" to "true +physical"). However, each subwindow has to have the same alignment, which +means they cannot be located at just any address. Because of these +restrictions, it is usually impossible to create a 4KB subwindow that +covers MSIIR where it's normally located. + +Therefore, the hypervisor has to create a subwindow inside the same +primary window used for memory, but mapped to the MSIR block (where MSIIR +lives). The first subwindow after the end of guest memory is used for +this. The address specified in the msi-address-64 property is the PCI +address of MSIIR. The hypervisor configures the PAMU to map that address to +the true physical address of MSIIR. diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/sound/soc/codecs/fsl-sgtl5000.txt b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/sound/soc/codecs/fsl-sgtl5000.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..2c3cd413f04 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/sound/soc/codecs/fsl-sgtl5000.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +* Freescale SGTL5000 Stereo Codec + +Required properties: +- compatible : "fsl,sgtl5000". + +Example: + +codec: sgtl5000@0a { + compatible = "fsl,sgtl5000";

By contrast, the GNU General Public +License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free +software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This +General Public License applies to most of the Free Software +Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to +using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by +the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to +your programs, too. + + When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not +price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you +have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for +this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it +if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it +in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. + + To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid +anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. +These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you +distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. + + For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether +gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that +you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the +source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their +rights. + + We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and +(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, +distribute and/or modify the software. + + Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain +that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free +software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we +want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so +that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original +authors' reputations. + + Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software +patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free +program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the +program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any +patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. + + The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and +modification follow. + + GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE + TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION + + 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains +a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed +under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, +refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" +means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: +that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, +either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another +language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in +the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". + +Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not +covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of +running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program +is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the +Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). +Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. + + 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's +source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you +conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate +copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the +notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; +and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License +along with the Program. + +You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and +you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. + + 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion +of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and +distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 +above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: + + a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices + stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. + + b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in + whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any + part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third + parties under the terms of this License. + + c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively + when run, you must cause it, when started running for such + interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an + announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a + notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide + a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under + these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this + License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but + does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on + the Program is not required to print an announcement.) + +These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If +identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, +and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in +themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those +sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you +distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based +on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of +this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the +entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. + +Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest +your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to +exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or +collective works based on the Program. + +In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program +with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of +a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under +the scope of this License. + + 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, +under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of +Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: + + a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable + source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections + 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, + + b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three + years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your + cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete + machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be + distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium + customarily used for software interchange; or, + + c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer + to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is + allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you + received the program in object code or executable form with such + an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) + +The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for +making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source +code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any +associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to +control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a +special exception, the source code distributed need not include +anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary +form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the +operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component +itself accompanies the executable. + +If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering +access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent +access to copy the source code from the same place counts as +distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not +compelled to copy the source along with the object code. + + 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program +except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt +otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is +void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. +However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under +this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such +parties remain in full compliance. + + 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not +signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or +distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are +prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by +modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the +Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and +all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying +the Program or works based on it. + + 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the +Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the +original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to +these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further +restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. +You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to +this License. + + 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent +infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), +conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or +otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not +excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot +distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this +License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you +may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent +license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by +all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then +the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to +refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. + +If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under +any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to +apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other +circumstances. + +It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any +patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any +such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the +integrity of the free software distribution system, which is +implemented by public license practices. Many people have made +generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed +through that system in reliance on consistent application of that +system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing +to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot +impose that choice. + +This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to +be a consequence of the rest of this License. + + 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in +certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the +original copyright holder who places the Program under this License +may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding +those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among +countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates +the limitation as if written in the body of this License. + + 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions +of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will +be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to +address new problems or concerns. + +Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program +specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any +later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions +either of that version or of any later version published by the Free +Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of +this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software +Foundation. + + 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free +programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author +to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free +Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes +make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals +of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and +of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. + + NO WARRANTY + + 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY +FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN +OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES +PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED +OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF +MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS +TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE +PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, +REPAIR OR CORRECTION. + + 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING +WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR +REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, +INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING +OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED +TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY +YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER +PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE +POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. diff --git a/Documentation/scsi/bnx2fc.txt b/Documentation/scsi/bnx2fc.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..80823556d62 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/scsi/bnx2fc.txt @@ -0,0 +1,75 @@ +Operating FCoE using bnx2fc +=========================== +Broadcom FCoE offload through bnx2fc is full stateful hardware offload that +cooperates with all interfaces provided by the Linux ecosystem for FC/FCoE and +SCSI controllers.

The necessary steps are described +as well as things to look out for. + + +Remove the file_operations struct +--------------------------------- + +Old drivers define their own file_operations for actions like open(), write(), +etc...

Only very few driver-specific details have to be moved to other functions. +Here is a overview of the functions and probably needed actions: + +- open: Everything dealing with resource management (file-open checks, magic + close preparations) can simply go. Device specific stuff needs to go to the + driver specific start-function. Note that for some drivers, the start-function + also serves as the ping-function. If that is the case and you need start/stop + to be balanced (clocks!), you are better off refactoring a separate start-function. + +- close: Same hints as for open apply. + +- write: Can simply go, all defined behaviour is taken care of by the framework, + i.e. ping on write and magic char ('V') handling. + +- ioctl: While the driver is allowed to have extensions to the IOCTL interface, + the most common ones are handled by the framework, supported by some assistance + from the driver: + + WDIOC_GETSUPPORT: + Returns the mandatory watchdog_info struct from the driver + + WDIOC_GETSTATUS: + Needs the status-callback defined, otherwise returns 0 + + WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS: + Needs the bootstatus member properly set.

The core will also + do limit-checking, if min_timeout and max_timeout in the watchdog + device are set. All is optional. + + WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT: + No preparations needed + + Other IOCTLs can be served using the ioctl-callback. Note that this is mainly + intended for porting old drivers; new drivers should not invent private IOCTLs. + Private IOCTLs are processed first. When the callback returns with + -ENOIOCTLCMD, the IOCTLs of the framework will be tried, too.

You can find it +explained in 'watchdog-kernel-api.txt' in this directory. start(), stop() and +owner must be set, the rest are optional. You will easily find corresponding +functions in the old driver. Note that you will now get a pointer to the +watchdog_device as a parameter to these functions, so you probably have to +change the function header. Other changes are most likely not needed, because +here simply happens the direct hardware access. If you have device-specific +code left from the above steps, it should be refactored into these callbacks. + +Here is a simple example: + ++static struct watchdog_ops s3c2410wdt_ops = { ++ .owner = THIS_MODULE, ++ .start = s3c2410wdt_start, ++ .stop = s3c2410wdt_stop, ++ .ping = s3c2410wdt_keepalive, ++ .set_timeout = s3c2410wdt_set_heartbeat, ++}; + +A typical function-header change looks like: + +-static void s3c2410wdt_keepalive(void) ++static int s3c2410wdt_keepalive(struct watchdog_device *wdd) + { +... ++ ++ return 0; + } + +... + +- s3c2410wdt_keepalive(); ++ s3c2410wdt_keepalive(&s3c2410_wdd); + + +Add the watchdog device +----------------------- + +Now we need to create a 'struct watchdog_device' and populate it with the +necessary information for the framework. The struct is also explained in detail +in 'watchdog-kernel-api.txt' in this directory. We pass it the mandatory +watchdog_info struct and the newly created watchdog_ops.
