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. Please +do not yet rely on them in production. But do experiment and offer us +feedback. Different use cases will have different performance +characteristics, for example due to fragmentation of the data volume. + +If you find this software is not performing as expected please mail +dm-devel@redhat.com with details and we'll try our best to improve +things for you. + +Userspace tools for checking and repairing the metadata are under +development. + +Cookbook +======== + +This section describes some quick recipes for using thin provisioning. +They use the dmsetup program to control the device-mapper driver +directly. End users will be advised to use a higher-level volume +manager such as LVM2 once support has been added. + +Pool device +----------- + +The pool device ties together the metadata volume and the data volume. +It maps I/O linearly to the data volume and updates the metadata via +two mechanisms: + +- Function calls from the thin targets + +- Device-mapper 'messages' from userspace which control the creation of new + virtual devices amongst other things. + +Setting up a fresh pool device +------------------------------ + +Setting up a pool device requires a valid metadata device, and a +data device. If you do not have an existing metadata device you can +make one by zeroing the first 4k to indicate empty metadata. + + dd if=/dev/zero of=$metadata_dev bs=4096 count=1 + +The amount of metadata you need will vary according to how many blocks +are shared between thin devices (i.e. through snapshots). If you have +less sharing than average you'll need a larger-than-average metadata device. + +As a guide, we suggest you calculate the number of bytes to use in the +metadata device as 48 * $data_dev_size / $data_block_size but round it up +to 2MB if the answer is smaller. 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.

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.

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 +protocol is implemented over the industry-standard SMBus serial interface and +enables programming, control, and real-time monitoring of compliant power +conversion products. This flexible and highly versatile standard allows for +communication between devices based on both analog and digital technologies, and +provides true interoperability which will reduce design complexity and shorten +time to market for power system designers. Pioneered by leading power supply and +semiconductor companies, this open power system standard is maintained and +promoted by the PMBus Implementers Forum (PMBus-IF), comprising 30+ adopters +with the objective to provide support to, and facilitate adoption among, users. + +Unfortunately, while PMBus commands are standardized, there are no mandatory +commands, and manufacturers can add as many non-standard commands as they like. +Also, different PMBUs devices act differently if non-supported commands are +executed. Some devices return an error, some devices return 0xff or 0xffff and +set a status error flag, and some devices may simply hang up. + +Despite all those difficulties, a generic PMBus device driver is still useful +and supported since kernel version 2.6.39. However, it was necessary to support +device specific extensions in addition to the core PMBus driver, since it is +simply unknown what new device specific functionality PMBus device developers +come up with next. + +To make device specific extensions as scalable as possible, and to avoid having +to modify the core PMBus driver repeatedly for new devices, the PMBus driver was +split into core, generic, and device specific code. The core code (in +pmbus_core.c) provides generic functionality. The generic code (in pmbus.c) +provides support for generic PMBus devices. Device specific code is responsible +for device specific initialization and, if needed, maps device specific +functionality into generic functionality. This is to some degree comparable +to PCI code, where generic code is augmented as needed with quirks for all kinds +of devices. + +PMBus device capabilities auto-detection +======================================== + +For generic PMBus devices, code in pmbus.c attempts to auto-detect all supported +PMBus commands. Auto-detection is somewhat limited, since there are simply too +many variables to consider. For example, it is almost impossible to autodetect +which PMBus commands are paged and which commands are replicated across all +pages (see the PMBus specification for details on multi-page PMBus devices). + +For this reason, it often makes sense to provide a device specific driver if not +all commands can be auto-detected. The data structures in this driver can be +used to inform the core driver about functionality supported by individual +chips. + +Some commands are always auto-detected. This applies to all limit commands +(lcrit, min, max, and crit attributes) as well as associated alarm attributes. +Limits and alarm attributes are auto-detected because there are simply too many +possible combinations to provide a manual configuration interface. + +PMBus internal API +================== + +The API between core and device specific PMBus code is defined in +drivers/hwmon/pmbus/pmbus.h. In addition to the internal API, pmbus.h defines +standard PMBus commands and virtual PMBus commands. + +Standard PMBus commands +----------------------- + +Standard PMBus commands (commands values 0x00 to 0xff) are defined in the PMBUs +specification. + +Virtual PMBus commands +---------------------- + +Virtual PMBus commands are provided to enable support for non-standard +functionality which has been implemented by several chip vendors and is thus +desirable to support. + +Virtual PMBus commands start with command value 0x100 and can thus easily be +distinguished from standard PMBus commands (which can not have values larger +than 0xff). Support for virtual PMBus commands is device specific and thus has +to be implemented in device specific code. + +Virtual commands are named PMBUS_VIRT_xxx and start with PMBUS_VIRT_BASE. All +virtual commands are word sized. + +There are currently two types of virtual commands. + +- READ commands are read-only; writes are either ignored or return an error. +- RESET commands are read/write. Reading reset registers returns zero + (used for detection), writing any value causes the associated history to be + reset. + +Virtual commands have to be handled in device specific driver code. Chip driver +code returns non-negative values if a virtual command is supported, or a +negative error code if not. The chip driver may return -ENODATA or any other +Linux error code in this case, though an error code other than -ENODATA is +handled more efficiently and thus preferred. Either case, the calling PMBus +core code will abort if the chip driver returns an error code when reading +or writing virtual registers (in other words, the PMBus core code will never +send a virtual command to a chip). + +PMBus driver information +------------------------ + +PMBus driver information, defined in struct pmbus_driver_info, is the main means +for device specific drivers to pass information to the core PMBus driver. +Specifically, it provides the following information. + +- For devices supporting its data in Direct Data Format, it provides coefficients + for converting register values into normalized data. This data is usually + provided by chip manufacturers in device datasheets. +- Supported chip functionality can be provided to the core driver. This may be + necessary for chips which react badly if non-supported commands are executed, + and/or to speed up device detection and initialization. +- Several function entry points are provided to support overriding and/or + augmenting generic command execution. This functionality can be used to map + non-standard PMBus commands to standard commands, or to augment standard + command return values with device specific information. + + API functions + ------------- + + Functions provided by chip driver + --------------------------------- + + All functions return the command return value (read) or zero (write) if + successful. A return value of -ENODATA indicates that there is no manufacturer + specific command, but that a standard PMBus command may exist. Any other + negative return value indicates that the commands does not exist for this + chip, and that no attempt should be made to read or write the standard + command. + + As mentioned above, an exception to this rule applies to virtual commands, + which _must_ be handled in driver specific code. See "Virtual PMBus Commands" + above for more details. + + Command execution in the core PMBus driver code is as follows. + + if (chip_access_function) { + status = chip_access_function(); + if (status != -ENODATA) + return status; + } + if (command >= PMBUS_VIRT_BASE) /* For word commands/registers only */ + return -EINVAL; + return generic_access(); + + Chip drivers may provide pointers to the following functions in struct + pmbus_driver_info. All functions are optional. + + int (*read_byte_data)(struct i2c_client *client, int page, int reg); + + Read byte from page <page>, register <reg>. + <page> may be -1, which means "current page". + + int (*read_word_data)(struct i2c_client *client, int page, int reg); + + Read word from page <page>, register <reg>. + + int (*write_word_data)(struct i2c_client *client, int page, int reg, + u16 word); + + Write word to page <page>, register <reg>. + + int (*write_byte)(struct i2c_client *client, int page, u8 value); + + Write byte to page <page>, register <reg>. + <page> may be -1, which means "current page". + + int (*identify)(struct i2c_client *client, struct pmbus_driver_info *info); + + Determine supported PMBus functionality.

Since a single +pin controller may be muxing several GPIO ranges (typically SoCs that have +one set of pins but internally several GPIO silicon blocks, each modeled as +a struct gpio_chip) any number of GPIO ranges can be added to a pin controller +instance like this: + +struct gpio_chip chip_a; +struct gpio_chip chip_b; + +static struct pinctrl_gpio_range gpio_range_a = { + .name = "chip a", + .id = 0, + .base = 32, + .npins = 16, + .gc = &chip_a; +}; + +static struct pinctrl_gpio_range gpio_range_a = { + .name = "chip b", + .id = 0, + .base = 48, + .npins = 8, + .gc = &chip_b; +}; + + +{ + struct pinctrl_dev *pctl; + ... + pinctrl_add_gpio_range(pctl, &gpio_range_a); + pinctrl_add_gpio_range(pctl, &gpio_range_b); +} + +So this complex system has one pin controller handling two different +GPIO chips. Chip a has 16 pins and chip b has 8 pins. They are mapped in +the global GPIO pin space at: + +chip a: [32 .. 47] +chip b: [48 .. 55] + +When GPIO-specific functions in the pin control subsystem are called, these +ranges will be used to look up the apropriate pin controller by inspecting +and matching the pin to the pin ranges across all controllers. When a +pin controller handling the matching range is found, GPIO-specific functions +will be called on that specific pin controller. + +For all functionalities dealing with pin biasing, pin muxing etc, the pin +controller subsystem will subtract the range's .base offset from the passed +in gpio pin number, and pass that on to the pin control driver, so the driver +will get an offset into its handled number range. Further it is also passed +the range ID value, so that the pin controller knows which range it should +deal with. + +For example: if a user issues pinctrl_gpio_set_foo(50), the pin control +subsystem will find that the second range on this pin controller matches, +subtract the base 48 and call the +pinctrl_driver_gpio_set_foo(pinctrl, range, 2) where the latter function has +this signature: + +int pinctrl_driver_gpio_set_foo(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, + struct pinctrl_gpio_range *rangeid, + unsigned offset); + +Now the driver knows that we want to do some GPIO-specific operation on the +second GPIO range handled by "chip b", at offset 2 in that specific range. + +(If the GPIO subsystem is ever refactored to use a local per-GPIO controller +pin space, this mapping will need to be augmented accordingly.) + + +PINMUX interfaces +================= + +These calls use the pinmux_* naming prefix. No other calls should use that +prefix. + + +What is pinmuxing? +================== + +PINMUX, also known as padmux, ballmux, alternate functions or mission modes +is a way for chip vendors producing some kind of electrical packages to use +a certain physical pin (ball, pad, finger, etc) for multiple mutually exclusive +functions, depending on the application. By "application" in this context +we usually mean a way of soldering or wiring the package into an electronic +system, even though the framework makes it possible to also change the function +at runtime. + +Here is an example of a PGA (Pin Grid Array) chip seen from underneath: + + A B C D E F G H + +---+ + 8 | o | o o o o o o o + | | + 7 | o | o o o o o o o + | | + 6 | o | o o o o o o o + +---+---+ + 5 | o | o | o o o o o o + +---+---+ +---+ + 4 o o o o o o | o | o + | | + 3 o o o o o o | o | o + | | + 2 o o o o o o | o | o + +-------+-------+-------+---+---+ + 1 | o o | o o | o o | o | o | + +-------+-------+-------+---+---+ + +This is not tetris. The game to think of is chess. Not all PGA/BGA packages +are chessboard-like, big ones have "holes" in some arrangement according to +different design patterns, but we're using this as a simple example. Of the +pins you see some will be taken by things like a few VCC and GND to feed power +to the chip, and quite a few will be taken by large ports like an external +memory interface. The remaining pins will often be subject to pin multiplexing. + +The example 8x8 PGA package above will have pin numbers 0 thru 63 assigned to +its physical pins. It will name the pins { A1, A2, A3 ... H6, H7, H8 } using +pinctrl_register_pins() and a suitable data set as shown earlier. + +In this 8x8 BGA package the pins { A8, A7, A6, A5 } can be used as an SPI port +(these are four pins: CLK, RXD, TXD, FRM). In that case, pin B5 can be used as +some general-purpose GPIO pin. However, in another setting, pins { A5, B5 } can +be used as an I2C port (these are just two pins: SCL, SDA). Needless to say, +we cannot use the SPI port and I2C port at the same time. However in the inside +of the package the silicon performing the SPI logic can alternatively be routed +out on pins { G4, G3, G2, G1 }. + +On the botton row at { A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, F1, G1, H1 } we have something +special - it's an external MMC bus that can be 2, 4 or 8 bits wide, and it will +consume 2, 4 or 8 pins respectively, so either { A1, B1 } are taken or +{ A1, B1, C1, D1 } or all of them. If we use all 8 bits, we cannot use the SPI +port on pins { G4, G3, G2, G1 } of course. + +This way the silicon blocks present inside the chip can be multiplexed "muxed" +out on different pin ranges. Often contemporary SoC (systems on chip) will +contain several I2C, SPI, SDIO/MMC, etc silicon blocks that can be routed to +different pins by pinmux settings. + +Since general-purpose I/O pins (GPIO) are typically always in shortage, it is +common to be able to use almost any pin as a GPIO pin if it is not currently +in use by some other I/O port. + + +Pinmux conventions +================== + +The purpose of the pinmux functionality in the pin controller subsystem is to +abstract and provide pinmux settings to the devices you choose to instantiate +in your machine configuration. It is inspired by the clk, GPIO and regulator +subsystems, so devices will request their mux setting, but it's also possible +to request a single pin for e.g. GPIO. + +Definitions: + +- FUNCTIONS can be switched in and out by a driver residing with the pin + control subsystem in the drivers/pinctrl/* directory of the kernel. The + pin control driver knows the possible functions. In the example above you can + identify three pinmux functions, one for spi, one for i2c and one for mmc. + +- FUNCTIONS are assumed to be enumerable from zero in a one-dimensional array. + In this case the array could be something like: { spi0, i2c0, mmc0 } + for the three available functions. + +- FUNCTIONS have PIN GROUPS as defined on the generic level - so a certain + function is *always* associated with a certain set of pin groups, could + be just a single one, but could also be many. In the example above the + function i2c is associated with the pins { A5, B5 }, enumerated as + { 24, 25 } in the controller pin space. + + The Function spi is associated with pin groups { A8, A7, A6, A5 } + and { G4, G3, G2, G1 }, which are enumerated as { 0, 8, 16, 24 } and + { 38, 46, 54, 62 } respectively. + + Group names must be unique per pin controller, no two groups on the same + controller may have the same name. + +- The combination of a FUNCTION and a PIN GROUP determine a certain function + for a certain set of pins. The knowledge of the functions and pin groups + and their machine-specific particulars are kept inside the pinmux driver, + from the outside only the enumerators are known, and the driver core can: + + - Request the name of a function with a certain selector (>= 0) + - A list of groups associated with a certain function + - Request that a certain group in that list to be activated for a certain + function + + As already described above, pin groups are in turn self-descriptive, so + the core will retrieve the actual pin range in a certain group from the + driver. + +- FUNCTIONS and GROUPS on a certain PIN CONTROLLER are MAPPED to a certain + device by the board file, device tree or similar machine setup configuration + mechanism, similar to how regulators are connected to devices, usually by + name. Defining a pin controller, function and group thus uniquely identify + the set of pins to be used by a certain device. (If only one possible group + of pins is available for the function, no group name need to be supplied - + the core will simply select the first and only group available.) + + In the example case we can define that this particular machine shall + use device spi0 with pinmux function fspi0 group gspi0 and i2c0 on function + fi2c0 group gi2c0, on the primary pin controller, we get mappings + like these: + + { + {"map-spi0", spi0, pinctrl0, fspi0, gspi0}, + {"map-i2c0", i2c0, pinctrl0, fi2c0, gi2c0} + } + + Every map must be assigned a symbolic name, pin controller and function. + The group is not compulsory - if it is omitted the first group presented by + the driver as applicable for the function will be selected, which is + useful for simple cases. + + The device name is present in map entries tied to specific devices. Maps + without device names are referred to as SYSTEM pinmuxes, such as can be taken + by the machine implementation on boot and not tied to any specific device. + + It is possible to map several groups to the same combination of device, + pin controller and function. This is for cases where a certain function on + a certain pin controller may use different sets of pins in different + configurations. + +- PINS for a certain FUNCTION using a certain PIN GROUP on a certain + PIN CONTROLLER are provided on a first-come first-serve basis, so if some + other device mux setting or GPIO pin request has already taken your physical + pin, you will be denied the use of it. To get (activate) a new setting, the + old one has to be put (deactivated) first. + +Sometimes the documentation and hardware registers will be oriented around +pads (or "fingers") rather than pins - these are the soldering surfaces on the +silicon inside the package, and may or may not match the actual number of +pins/balls underneath the capsule. Pick some enumeration that makes sense to +you. Define enumerators only for the pins you can control if that makes sense. + +Assumptions: + +We assume that the number possible function maps to pin groups is limited by +the hardware. I.e. we assume that there is no system where any function can be +mapped to any pin, like in a phone exchange. So the available pins groups for +a certain function will be limited to a few choices (say up to eight or so), +not hundreds or any amount of choices. This is the characteristic we have found +by inspecting available pinmux hardware, and a necessary assumption since we +expect pinmux drivers to present *all* possible function vs pin group mappings +to the subsystem. + + +Pinmux drivers +============== + +The pinmux core takes care of preventing conflicts on pins and calling +the pin controller driver to execute different settings. + +It is the responsibility of the pinmux driver to impose further restrictions +(say for example infer electronic limitations due to load etc) to determine +whether or not the requested function can actually be allowed, and in case it +is possible to perform the requested mux setting, poke the hardware so that +this happens. + +Pinmux drivers are required to supply a few callback functions, some are +optional. Usually the enable() and disable() functions are implemented, +writing values into some certain registers to activate a certain mux setting +for a certain pin. + +A simple driver for the above example will work by setting bits 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 +into some register named MUX to select a certain function with a certain +group of pins would work something like this: + +#include <linux/pinctrl/pinctrl.h> +#include <linux/pinctrl/pinmux.h> + +struct foo_group { + const char *name; + const unsigned int *pins; + const unsigned num_pins; +}; + +static const unsigned spi0_0_pins[] = { 0, 8, 16, 24 }; +static const unsigned spi0_1_pins[] = { 38, 46, 54, 62 }; +static const unsigned i2c0_pins[] = { 24, 25 }; +static const unsigned mmc0_1_pins[] = { 56, 57 }; +static const unsigned mmc0_2_pins[] = { 58, 59 }; +static const unsigned mmc0_3_pins[] = { 60, 61, 62, 63 }; + +static const struct foo_group foo_groups[] = { + { + .name = "spi0_0_grp", + .pins = spi0_0_pins, + .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(spi0_0_pins), + }, + { + .name = "spi0_1_grp", + .pins = spi0_1_pins, + .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(spi0_1_pins), + }, + { + .name = "i2c0_grp", + .pins = i2c0_pins, + .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(i2c0_pins), + }, + { + .name = "mmc0_1_grp", + .pins = mmc0_1_pins, + .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(mmc0_1_pins), + }, + { + .name = "mmc0_2_grp", + .pins = mmc0_2_pins, + .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(mmc0_2_pins), + }, + { + .name = "mmc0_3_grp", + .pins = mmc0_3_pins, + .num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(mmc0_3_pins), + }, +}; + + +static int foo_list_groups(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector) +{ + if (selector >= ARRAY_SIZE(foo_groups)) + return -EINVAL; + return 0; +} + +static const char *foo_get_group_name(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, + unsigned selector) +{ + return foo_groups[selector].name; +} + +static int foo_get_group_pins(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector, + unsigned ** const pins, + unsigned * const num_pins) +{ + *pins = (unsigned *) foo_groups[selector].pins; + *num_pins = foo_groups[selector].num_pins; + return 0; +} + +static struct pinctrl_ops foo_pctrl_ops = { + .list_groups = foo_list_groups, + .get_group_name = foo_get_group_name, + .get_group_pins = foo_get_group_pins, +}; + +struct foo_pmx_func { + const char *name; + const char * const *groups; + const unsigned num_groups; +}; + +static const char * const spi0_groups[] = { "spi0_1_grp" }; +static const char * const i2c0_groups[] = { "i2c0_grp" }; +static const char * const mmc0_groups[] = { "mmc0_1_grp", "mmc0_2_grp", + "mmc0_3_grp" }; + +static const struct foo_pmx_func foo_functions[] = { + { + .name = "spi0", + .groups = spi0_groups, + .num_groups = ARRAY_SIZE(spi0_groups), + }, + { + .name = "i2c0", + .groups = i2c0_groups, + .num_groups = ARRAY_SIZE(i2c0_groups), + }, + { + .name = "mmc0", + .groups = mmc0_groups, + .num_groups = ARRAY_SIZE(mmc0_groups), + }, +}; + +int foo_list_funcs(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector) +{ + if (selector >= ARRAY_SIZE(foo_functions)) + return -EINVAL; + return 0; +} + +const char *foo_get_fname(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector) +{ + return myfuncs[selector].name; +} + +static int foo_get_groups(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector, + const char * const **groups, + unsigned * const num_groups) +{ + *groups = foo_functions[selector].groups; + *num_groups = foo_functions[selector].num_groups; + return 0; +} + +int foo_enable(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector, + unsigned group) +{ + u8 regbit = (1 << group); + + writeb((readb(MUX)|regbit), MUX) + return 0; +} + +int foo_disable(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector, + unsigned group) +{ + u8 regbit = (1 << group); + + writeb((readb(MUX) & ~(regbit)), MUX) + return 0; +} + +struct pinmux_ops foo_pmxops = { + .list_functions = foo_list_funcs, + .get_function_name = foo_get_fname, + .get_function_groups = foo_get_groups, + .enable = foo_enable, + .disable = foo_disable, +}; + +/* Pinmux operations are handled by some pin controller */ +static struct pinctrl_desc foo_desc = { + ... + .pctlops = &foo_pctrl_ops, + .pmxops = &foo_pmxops, +}; + +In the example activating muxing 0 and 1 at the same time setting bits +0 and 1, uses one pin in common so they would collide. + +The beauty of the pinmux subsystem is that since it keeps track of all +pins and who is using them, it will already have denied an impossible +request like that, so the driver does not need to worry about such +things - when it gets a selector passed in, the pinmux subsystem makes +sure no other device or GPIO assignment is already using the selected +pins. Thus bits 0 and 1 in the control register will never be set at the +same time. + +All the above functions are mandatory to implement for a pinmux driver. + + +Pinmux interaction with the GPIO subsystem +========================================== + +The function list could become long, especially if you can convert every +individual pin into a GPIO pin independent of any other pins, and then try +the approach to define every pin as a function. + +In this case, the function array would become 64 entries for each GPIO +setting and then the device functions. + +For this reason there is an additional function a pinmux driver can implement +to enable only GPIO on an individual pin: .gpio_request_enable(). The same +.free() function as for other functions is assumed to be usable also for +GPIO pins. + +This function will pass in the affected GPIO range identified by the pin +controller core, so you know which GPIO pins are being affected by the request +operation. + +Alternatively it is fully allowed to use named functions for each GPIO +pin, the pinmux_request_gpio() will attempt to obtain the function "gpioN" +where "N" is the global GPIO pin number if no special GPIO-handler is +registered. + + +Pinmux board/machine configuration +================================== + +Boards and machines define how a certain complete running system is put +together, including how GPIOs and devices are muxed, how regulators are +constrained and how the clock tree looks. Of course pinmux settings are also +part of this. + +A pinmux config for a machine looks pretty much like a simple regulator +configuration, so for the example array above we want to enable i2c and +spi on the second function mapping: + +#include <linux/pinctrl/machine.h> + +static struct pinmux_map pmx_mapping[] = { + { + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "spi0", + .dev_name = "foo-spi.0", + }, + { + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "i2c0", + .dev_name = "foo-i2c.0", + }, + { + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "mmc0", + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", + }, +}; + +The dev_name here matches to the unique device name that can be used to look +up the device struct (just like with clockdev or regulators). The function name +must match a function provided by the pinmux driver handling this pin range. + +As you can see we may have several pin controllers on the system and thus +we need to specify which one of them that contain the functions we wish +to map. The map can also use struct device * directly, so there is no +inherent need to use strings to specify .dev_name or .ctrl_dev_name, these +are for the situation where you do not have a handle to the struct device *, +for example if they are not yet instantiated or cumbersome to obtain. + +You register this pinmux mapping to the pinmux subsystem by simply: + + ret = pinmux_register_mappings(&pmx_mapping, ARRAY_SIZE(pmx_mapping)); + +Since the above construct is pretty common there is a helper macro to make +it even more compact which assumes you want to use pinctrl.0 and position +0 for mapping, for example: + +static struct pinmux_map pmx_mapping[] = { + PINMUX_MAP_PRIMARY("I2CMAP", "i2c0", "foo-i2c.0"), +}; + + +Complex mappings +================ + +As it is possible to map a function to different groups of pins an optional +.group can be specified like this: + +... +{ + .name = "spi0-pos-A", + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "spi0", + .group = "spi0_0_grp", + .dev_name = "foo-spi.0", +}, +{ + .name = "spi0-pos-B", + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "spi0", + .group = "spi0_1_grp", + .dev_name = "foo-spi.0", +}, +... + +This example mapping is used to switch between two positions for spi0 at +runtime, as described further below under the heading "Runtime pinmuxing". + +Further it is possible to match several groups of pins to the same function +for a single device, say for example in the mmc0 example above, where you can +additively expand the mmc0 bus from 2 to 4 to 8 pins. If we want to use all +three groups for a total of 2+2+4 = 8 pins (for an 8-bit MMC bus as is the +case), we define a mapping like this: + +... +{ + .name "2bit" + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "mmc0", + .group = "mmc0_0_grp", + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", +}, +{ + .name "4bit" + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "mmc0", + .group = "mmc0_0_grp", + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", +}, +{ + .name "4bit" + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "mmc0", + .group = "mmc0_1_grp", + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", +}, +{ + .name "8bit" + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "mmc0", + .group = "mmc0_0_grp", + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", +}, +{ + .name "8bit" + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "mmc0", + .group = "mmc0_1_grp", + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", +}, +{ + .name "8bit" + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "mmc0", + .group = "mmc0_2_grp", + .dev_name = "foo-mmc.0", +}, +... + +The result of grabbing this mapping from the device with something like +this (see next paragraph): + + pmx = pinmux_get(&device, "8bit"); + +Will be that you activate all the three bottom records in the mapping at +once. Since they share the same name, pin controller device, funcion and +device, and since we allow multiple groups to match to a single device, they +all get selected, and they all get enabled and disable simultaneously by the +pinmux core. + + +Pinmux requests from drivers +============================ + +Generally it is discouraged to let individual drivers get and enable pinmuxes. +So if possible, handle the pinmuxes in platform code or some other place where +you have access to all the affected struct device * pointers. In some cases +where a driver needs to switch between different mux mappings at runtime +this is not possible. + +A driver may request a certain mux to be activated, usually just the default +mux like this: + +#include <linux/pinctrl/pinmux.h> + +struct foo_state { + struct pinmux *pmx; + ... +}; + +foo_probe() +{ + /* Allocate a state holder named "state" etc */ + struct pinmux pmx; + + pmx = pinmux_get(&device, NULL); + if IS_ERR(pmx) + return PTR_ERR(pmx); + pinmux_enable(pmx); + + state->pmx = pmx; +} + +foo_remove() +{ + pinmux_disable(state->pmx); + pinmux_put(state->pmx); +} + +If you want to grab a specific mux mapping and not just the first one found for +this device you can specify a specific mapping name, for example in the above +example the second i2c0 setting: pinmux_get(&device, "spi0-pos-B"); + +This get/enable/disable/put sequence can just as well be handled by bus drivers +if you don't want each and every driver to handle it and you know the +arrangement on your bus. + +The semantics of the get/enable respective disable/put is as follows: + +- pinmux_get() is called in process context to reserve the pins affected with + a certain mapping and set up the pinmux core and the driver. It will allocate + a struct from the kernel memory to hold the pinmux state. + +- pinmux_enable()/pinmux_disable() is quick and can be called from fastpath + (irq context) when you quickly want to set up/tear down the hardware muxing + when running a device driver. Usually it will just poke some values into a + register. + +- pinmux_disable() is called in process context to tear down the pin requests + and release the state holder struct for the mux setting. + +Usually the pinmux core handled the get/put pair and call out to the device +drivers bookkeeping operations, like checking available functions and the +associated pins, whereas the enable/disable pass on to the pin controller +driver which takes care of activating and/or deactivating the mux setting by +quickly poking some registers. + +The pins are allocated for your device when you issue the pinmux_get() call, +after this you should be able to see this in the debugfs listing of all pins. + + +System pinmux hogging +===================== + +A system pinmux map entry, i.e. a pinmux setting that does not have a device +associated with it, can be hogged by the core when the pin controller is +registered. This means that the core will attempt to call pinmux_get() and +pinmux_enable() on it immediately after the pin control device has been +registered. + +This is enabled by simply setting the .hog_on_boot field in the map to true, +like this: + +{ + .name "POWERMAP" + .ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0", + .function = "power_func", + .hog_on_boot = true, +}, + +Since it may be common to request the core to hog a few always-applicable +mux settings on the primary pin controller, there is a convenience macro for +this: + +PINMUX_MAP_PRIMARY_SYS_HOG("POWERMAP", "power_func") + +This gives the exact same result as the above construction. + + +Runtime pinmuxing +================= + +It is possible to mux a certain function in and out at runtime, say to move +an SPI port from one set of pins to another set of pins. Say for example for +spi0 in the example above, we expose two different groups of pins for the same +function, but with different named in the mapping as described under +"Advanced mapping" above. So we have two mappings named "spi0-pos-A" and +"spi0-pos-B". + +This snippet first muxes the function in the pins defined by group A, enables +it, disables and releases it, and muxes it in on the pins defined by group B: + +foo_switch() +{ + struct pinmux pmx; + + /* Enable on position A */ + pmx = pinmux_get(&device, "spi0-pos-A"); + if IS_ERR(pmx) + return PTR_ERR(pmx); + pinmux_enable(pmx); + + /* This releases the pins again */ + pinmux_disable(pmx); + pinmux_put(pmx); + + /* Enable on position B */ + pmx = pinmux_get(&device, "spi0-pos-B"); + if IS_ERR(pmx) + return PTR_ERR(pmx); + pinmux_enable(pmx); + ... +} + +The above has to be done from process context. diff --git a/Documentation/power/00-INDEX b/Documentation/power/00-INDEX index 45e9d4a9128..a4d682f5423 100644 --- a/Documentation/power/00-INDEX +++ b/Documentation/power/00-INDEX @@ -26,6 +26,8 @@ s2ram.txt - How to get suspend to ram working (and debug it when it isn't) states.txt - System power management states +suspend-and-cpuhotplug.txt + - Explains the interaction between Suspend-to-RAM (S3) and CPU hotplug swsusp-and-swap-files.txt - Using swap files with software suspend (to disk) swsusp-dmcrypt.txt diff --git a/Documentation/power/basic-pm-debugging.txt b/Documentation/power/basic-pm-debugging.txt index ddd78172ef7..40a4c65f380 100644 --- a/Documentation/power/basic-pm-debugging.txt +++ b/Documentation/power/basic-pm-debugging.txt @@ -173,7 +173,7 @@ kernel messages using the serial console.

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

Limit a group to 1 CPU worth of runtime. + + If period is 250ms and quota is also 250ms, the group will get + 1 CPU worth of runtime every 250ms. + + # echo 250000 > cpu.cfs_quota_us /* quota = 250ms */ + # echo 250000 > cpu.cfs_period_us /* period = 250ms */ + +2. Limit a group to 2 CPUs worth of runtime on a multi-CPU machine. + + With 500ms period and 1000ms quota, the group can get 2 CPUs worth of + runtime every 500ms. + + # echo 1000000 > cpu.cfs_quota_us /* quota = 1000ms */ + # echo 500000 > cpu.cfs_period_us /* period = 500ms */ + + The larger period here allows for increased burst capacity. + +3. Limit a group to 20% of 1 CPU. + + With 50ms period, 10ms quota will be equivalent to 20% of 1 CPU. + + # echo 10000 > cpu.cfs_quota_us /* quota = 10ms */ + # echo 50000 > cpu.cfs_period_us /* period = 50ms */ + + By using a small period here we are ensuring a consistent latency + response at the expense of burst capacity. + diff --git a/Documentation/scsi/00-INDEX b/Documentation/scsi/00-INDEX index c2e18e10985..b48ded55b55 100644 --- a/Documentation/scsi/00-INDEX +++ b/Documentation/scsi/00-INDEX @@ -28,6 +28,8 @@ LICENSE.FlashPoint - Licence of the Flashpoint driver LICENSE.qla2xxx - License for QLogic Linux Fibre Channel HBA Driver firmware. +LICENSE.qla4xxx + - License for QLogic Linux iSCSI HBA Driver.

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/aic7xxx_old.txt b/Documentation/scsi/aic7xxx_old.txt index 7bd210ab45a..ecfc474f36a 100644 --- a/Documentation/scsi/aic7xxx_old.txt +++ b/Documentation/scsi/aic7xxx_old.txt @@ -444,7 +444,7 @@ linux-1.1.x and fairly stable since linux-1.2.x, and are also in FreeBSD Kernel Compile options ------------------------------ The various kernel compile time options for this driver are now fairly - well documented in the file Documentation/Configure.help.

Now, as the framework factored out the common +components, those drivers can be lightened making it a user of the framework. +This document shall guide you for this task. 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... These are now handled by the framework and just call the driver when +needed. So, in general, the 'file_operations' struct and assorted functions can +go. 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. Make sure it is 0 if you + don't have further support! + + WDIOC_SETOPTIONS: + No preparations needed + + WDIOC_KEEPALIVE: + If wanted, options in watchdog_info need to have WDIOF_KEEPALIVEPING + set + + WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT: + Options in watchdog_info need to have WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT set + and a set_timeout-callback has to be defined. 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. Any other error + is directly given to the user. + +Example conversion: + +-static const struct file_operations s3c2410wdt_fops = { +- .owner = THIS_MODULE, +- .llseek = no_llseek, +- .write = s3c2410wdt_write, +- .unlocked_ioctl = s3c2410wdt_ioctl, +- .open = s3c2410wdt_open, +- .release = s3c2410wdt_release, +-}; + +Check the functions for device-specific stuff and keep it for later +refactoring. The rest can go. + + +Remove the miscdevice +--------------------- + +Since the file_operations are gone now, you can also remove the 'struct +miscdevice'. The framework will create it on watchdog_dev_register() called by +watchdog_register_device(). + +-static struct miscdevice s3c2410wdt_miscdev = { +- .minor = WATCHDOG_MINOR, +- .name = "watchdog", +- .fops = &s3c2410wdt_fops, +-}; + + +Remove obsolete includes and defines +------------------------------------ + +Because of the simplifications, a few defines are probably unused now. Remove +them. Includes can be removed, too. For example: + +- #include <linux/fs.h> +- #include <linux/miscdevice.h> (if MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV is not used) +- #include <linux/uaccess.h> (if no custom IOCTLs are used) + + +Add the watchdog operations +--------------------------- + +All possible callbacks are defined in 'struct watchdog_ops'. 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. Often, old drivers +have their own record-keeping for things like bootstatus and timeout using +static variables. Those have to be converted to use the members in +watchdog_device. Note that the timeout values are unsigned int. Some drivers +use signed int, so this has to be converted, too. + +Here is a simple example for a watchdog device: + ++static struct watchdog_device s3c2410_wdd = { ++ .info = &s3c2410_wdt_ident, ++ .ops = &s3c2410wdt_ops, ++}; + + +Register the watchdog device +---------------------------- + +Replace misc_register(&miscdev) with watchdog_register_device(&watchdog_dev). +Make sure the return value gets checked and the error message, if present, +still fits.
