| * | regulator: Support disabling of unused regulators by machinesMark Brown2009-03-311-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At present it is not possible for machine constraints to disable regulators which have been left on when the system starts, for example as a result of fixed default configurations in hardware. This means that power may be wasted by these regulators if they are not in use. Provide intial support for this with a late_initcall which will disable any unused regulators if the machine has enabled this feature by calling regulator_has_full_constraints(). If this has not been called then print a warning to encourage users to fully specify their constraints so that we can change this to be the default behaviour in future.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rather than incrementing the reference count for boot_on regulators (which prevents them being disabled later on) simply force the regulator to be enabled when applying the constraints. Previously boot_on was essentially equivalent to always_on. Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com> Signed-off-by: Liam Girdwood <lrg@slimlogic.co.uk>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Glue between MMC and regulator stacks ... verified with some OMAP3 boards using adjustable and configured-as-fixed regulators on several MMC controllers. These calls are intended to be used by MMC host adapters using at least one regulator per host. Examples include slots with regulators supporting multiple voltages and ones using multiple voltage rails (e.g. DAT4..DAT7 using a separate supply, or a split rail chip like certain SDIO WLAN or eMMC solutions).

| * | regulator: twl4030 regulatorsDavid Brownell2009-03-311-0/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Support most of the LDO regulators in the twl4030 family chips. In the case of LDOs supporting MMC/SD, the voltage controls are used; but in most other cases, the regulator framework is only used to enable/disable a supplies, conserving power when a given voltage rail is not needed. The drivers/mfd/twl4030-core.c code already sets up the various regulators according to board-specific configuration, and knows that some chips don't provide the full set of voltage rails. The omitted regulators are intended to be under hardware control, such as during the hardware-mediated system powerup, powerdown, and suspend states. Unless/until software hooks are known to be safe, they won't be exported here. These regulators implement the new get_status() operation, but can't realistically implement get_mode(); the status output is effectively the result of a vote, with the relevant hardware inputs not exposed.

Fix the existing kerneldoc for that struct in two ways: (a) Syntax, making sure parameter descriptions immediately follow the one-line struct description and that the first blank lines is before any more expansive description; (b) Presentation for a few points, to highlight the fact that the previous "get" methods exist only to report the current configuration, not to display actual status.

| * | regulator: enumerate voltages (v2)David Brownell2009-03-312-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a basic mechanism for regulators to report the discrete voltages they support: list_voltage() enumerates them using selectors numbered from 0 to an upper bound. Use those methods to force machine-level constraints into bounds. (Example: regulator supports 1.8V, 2.4V, 2.6V, 3.3V, and board constraints for that rail are 2.0V to 3.6V ... so the range of voltages is then 2.4V to 3.3V on this board.) Export those voltages to the regulator consumer interface, so for example regulator hooked up to an MMC/SD/SDIO slot can report the actual voltage options available to cards connected there.

It can report on/off and error status; or instead of simply "on", report the actual operating mode. For the moment, this is a sysfs-only interface, not accessible to regulator clients. Such clients can use the current notification interfaces to detect errors, if the regulator reports them.

Each superblock object is created in a server level index object and is itself an index into which inode-level objects are inserted. Ideally there would be one superblock-level object per server, and the former would be folded into the latter; however, since the "nosharecache" option exists this isn't possible. The superblock object key is a sequence consisting of: (1) Certain superblock s_flags. (2) Various connection parameters that serve to distinguish superblocks for sget(). (3) The volume FSID. (4) The security flavour. (5) The uniquifier length. (6) The uniquifier text. This is normally an empty string, unless the fsc=xyz mount option was used to explicitly specify a uniquifier. The key blob is of variable length, depending on the length of (6). The superblock object is given no coherency data to carry in the auxiliary data permitted by the cache. It is assumed that the superblock is always coherent. This patch also adds uniquification handling such that two otherwise identical superblocks, at least one of which is marked "nosharecache", won't end up trying to share the on-disk cache. It will be possible to manually provide a uniquifier through a mount option with a later patch to avoid the error otherwise produced.

The documentation and API header file were added in a previous patch. This patch implements the following functions for the netfs to call: (*) fscache_attr_changed(). Indicate that the object has changed its attributes. The only attribute currently recorded is the file size. Only pages within the set file size will be stored in the cache. This operation is submitted for asynchronous processing, and will return immediately. It will return -ENOMEM if an out of memory error is encountered, -ENOBUFS if the object is not actually cached, or 0 if the operation is successfully queued. (*) fscache_read_or_alloc_page(). (*) fscache_read_or_alloc_pages(). Request data be fetched from the disk, and allocate internal metadata to track the netfs pages and reserve disk space for unknown pages. These operations perform semi-asynchronous data reads. Upon returning they will indicate which pages they think can be retrieved from disk, and will have set in progress attempts to retrieve those pages. These will return, in order of preference, -ENOMEM on memory allocation error, -ERESTARTSYS if a signal interrupted proceedings, -ENODATA if one or more requested pages are not yet cached, -ENOBUFS if the object is not actually cached or if there isn't space for future pages to be cached on this object, or 0 if successful. In the case of the multipage function, the pages for which reads are set in progress will be removed from the list and the page count decreased appropriately. If any read operations should fail, the completion function will be given an error, and will also be passed contextual information to allow the netfs to fall back to querying the server for the absent pages. For each successful read, the page completion function will also be called. Any pages subsequently tracked by the cache will have PG_fscache set upon them on return. fscache_uncache_page() must be called for such pages. If supplied by the netfs, the mark_pages_cached() cookie op will be invoked for any pages now tracked. (*) fscache_alloc_page(). Allocate internal metadata to track a netfs page and reserve disk space. This will return -ENOMEM on memory allocation error, -ERESTARTSYS on signal, -ENOBUFS if the object isn't cached, or there isn't enough space in the cache, or 0 if successful. Any pages subsequently tracked by the cache will have PG_fscache set upon them on return. fscache_uncache_page() must be called for such pages. If supplied by the netfs, the mark_pages_cached() cookie op will be invoked for any pages now tracked. (*) fscache_write_page(). Request data be stored to disk. This may only be called on pages that have been read or alloc'd by the above three functions and have not yet been uncached. This will return -ENOMEM on memory allocation error, -ERESTARTSYS on signal, -ENOBUFS if the object isn't cached, or there isn't immediately enough space in the cache, or 0 if successful. On a successful return, this operation will have queued the page for asynchronous writing to the cache. The page will be returned with PG_fscache_write set until the write completes one way or another. The caller will not be notified if the write fails due to an I/O error. If that happens, the object will become available and all pending writes will be aborted. Note that the cache may batch up page writes, and so it may take a while to get around to writing them out. The caller must assume that until PG_fscache_write is cleared the page is use by the cache. Any changes made to the page may be reflected on disk. The page may even be under DMA. (*) fscache_uncache_page(). Indicate that the cache should stop tracking a page previously read or alloc'd from the cache. If the page was alloc'd only, but unwritten, it will not appear on disk.

The documentation and API header file were added in a previous patch. This patch implements the following three functions: (1) fscache_acquire_cookie(). Acquire a cookie to represent an object to the netfs. If the object in question is a non-index object, then that object and its parent indices will be created on disk at this point if they don't already exist. Index creation is deferred because an index may reside in multiple caches. (2) fscache_relinquish_cookie(). Retire or release a cookie previously acquired. At this point, the object on disk may be destroyed. (3) fscache_update_cookie(). Update the in-cache representation of a cookie. This is used to update the auxiliary data for coherency management purposes. With this patch it is possible to have a netfs instruct a cache backend to look up, validate and create metadata on disk and to destroy it again. The ability to actually store and retrieve data in the objects so created is added in later patches. Note that these functions will never return an error. _All_ errors are handled internally to FS-Cache. The worst that can happen is that fscache_acquire_cookie() may return a NULL pointer - which is considered a negative cookie pointer and can be passed back to any function that takes a cookie without harm. A negative cookie pointer merely suppresses caching at that level. The stub in linux/fscache.h will detect inline the negative cookie pointer and abort the operation as fast as possible. This means that the compiler doesn't have to set up for a call in that case. See the documentation in Documentation/filesystems/caching/netfs-api.txt for more information.

If the FS-Cache facility is disabled, then the calls are optimised away at compile time. Note that whilst this patch may appear to work with FS-Cache enabled and a netfs attempting to use it, it will leak the cookie it allocates for the netfs as fscache_relinquish_cookie() is implemented in a later patch. This will cause the slab code to emit a warning when the module is removed.

As this patch stands, it is possible to build a filesystem against the facility and attempt to use it. All that will happen is that all requests will be immediately denied as if no cache is present. Further patches will implement the core of the facility. The facility will transfer requests from networking filesystems to appropriate caches if possible, or else gracefully deny them. If this facility is disabled in the kernel configuration, then all its operations will trivially reduce to nothing during compilation. WHY NOT I_MAPPING? ================== I have added my own API to implement caching rather than using i_mapping to do this for a number of reasons. These have been discussed a lot on the LKML and CacheFS mailing lists, but to summarise the basics: (1) Most filesystems don't do hole reportage. Holes in files are treated as blocks of zeros and can't be distinguished otherwise, making it difficult to distinguish blocks that have been read from the network and cached from those that haven't. (2) The backing inode must be fully populated before being exposed to userspace through the main inode because the VM/VFS goes directly to the backing inode and does not interrogate the front inode's VM ops. Therefore: (a) The backing inode must fit entirely within the cache. (b) All backed files currently open must fit entirely within the cache at the same time. (c) A working set of files in total larger than the cache may not be cached. (d) A file may not grow larger than the available space in the cache. (e) A file that's open and cached, and remotely grows larger than the cache is potentially stuffed. (3) Writes go to the backing filesystem, and can only be transferred to the network when the file is closed. (4) There's no record of what changes have been made, so the whole file must be written back. (5) The pages belong to the backing filesystem, and all metadata associated with that page are relevant only to the backing filesystem, and not anything stacked atop it. OVERVIEW ======== FS-Cache provides (or will provide) the following facilities: (1) Caches can be added / removed at any time, even whilst in use. (2) Adds a facility by which tags can be used to refer to caches, even if they're not available yet. (3) More than one cache can be used at once. Caches can be selected explicitly by use of tags. (4) The netfs is provided with an interface that allows either party to withdraw caching facilities from a file (required for (1)). (5) A netfs may annotate cache objects that belongs to it. This permits the storage of coherency maintenance data. (6) Cache objects will be pinnable and space reservations will be possible. (7) The interface to the netfs returns as few errors as possible, preferring rather to let the netfs remain oblivious. (8) Cookies are used to represent indices, files and other objects to the netfs. The simplest cookie is just a NULL pointer - indicating nothing cached there. (9) The netfs is allowed to propose - dynamically - any index hierarchy it desires, though it must be aware that the index search function is recursive, stack space is limited, and indices can only be children of indices. (10) Indices can be used to group files together to reduce key size and to make group invalidation easier. The use of indices may make lookup quicker, but that's cache dependent. (11) Data I/O is effectively done directly to and from the netfs's pages. The netfs indicates that page A is at index B of the data-file represented by cookie C, and that it should be read or written. The cache backend may or may not start I/O on that page, but if it does, a netfs callback will be invoked to indicate completion. The I/O may be either synchronous or asynchronous. (12) Cookies can be "retired" upon release. At this point FS-Cache will mark them as obsolete and the index hierarchy rooted at that point will get recycled. (13) The netfs provides a "match" function for index searches. In addition to saying whether a match was made or not, this can also specify that an entry should be updated or deleted. FS-Cache maintains a virtual index tree in which all indices, files, objects and pages are kept. Bits of this tree may actually reside in one or more caches.

These have different index hierarchies: (*) The NFS primary index will probably contain per-server indices. Each server index is indexed by NFS file handles to get data file objects. Each data file objects can have an array of pages, but may also have further child objects, such as extended attributes and directory entries. Extended attribute objects themselves have page-array contents. (*) The AFS primary index contains per-cell indices. Each cell index contains per-logical-volume indices. Each of volume index contains up to three indices for the read-write, read-only and backup mirrors of those volumes. Each of these contains vnode data file objects, each of which contains an array of pages. The very top index is the FS-Cache master index in which individual netfs's have entries. Any index object may reside in more than one cache, provided it only has index children. Any index with non-index object children will be assumed to only reside in one cache.

This new function allows us to check whether a mirror region is being recovered on another machine in the cluster. This helps us prevent simultaneous recovery I/O and process I/O to the same locations on disk. Cluster-aware log modules will implement this function. Single machine log modules will not. So, there is no performance penalty for single machine mirrors.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the 'dm_dirty_log_internal' structure. The resulting cleanup eliminates extra memory allocations. Therefore exposing the internal list_head to the external 'dm_dirty_log_type' structure is a worthwhile compromise.
