That hardware framebuffer is able to drive the VGA, DVI, or HDMI +monitor with no CPU involvement until a pixel has to change. + +The CPU or other local resource does all the rendering; optinally compares the +result with a local shadow of the remote hardware framebuffer to identify +the minimal set of pixels that have changed; and compresses and sends those +pixels line-by-line via USB bulk transfers. + +Because of the efficiency of bulk transfers and a protocol on top that +does not require any acks - the effect is very low latency that +can support surprisingly high resolutions with good performance for +non-gaming and non-video applications. + +Mode setting, EDID read, etc are other bulk or control transfers. Mode +setting is very flexible - able to set nearly arbitrary modes from any timing. + +Advantages of USB graphics in general: + + * Ability to add a nearly arbitrary number of displays to any USB 2.0 + capable system. On Linux, number of displays is limited by fbdev interface + (FB_MAX is currently 32). Of course, all USB devices on the same + host controller share the same 480Mbs USB 2.0 interface. + +Advantages of supporting DisplayLink chips with kernel framebuffer interface: + + * The actual hardware functionality of DisplayLink chips matches nearly + one-to-one with the fbdev interface, making the driver quite small and + tight relative to the functionality it provides. + * X servers and other applications can use the standard fbdev interface + from user mode to talk to the device, without needing to know anything + about USB or DisplayLink's protocol at all. A "displaylink" X driver + and a slightly modified "fbdev" X driver are among those that already do. + +Disadvantages: + + * Fbdev's mmap interface assumes a real hardware framebuffer is mapped. + In the case of USB graphics, it is just an allocated (virtual) buffer. + Writes need to be detected and encoded into USB bulk transfers by the CPU. + Accurate damage/changed area notifications work around this problem. + In the future, hopefully fbdev will be enhanced with an small standard + interface to allow mmap clients to report damage, for the benefit + of virtual or remote framebuffers. + * Fbdev does not arbitrate client ownership of the framebuffer well. + * Fbcon assumes the first framebuffer it finds should be consumed for console. + * It's not clear what the future of fbdev is, given the rise of KMS/DRM. + +How to use it? +============== + +Udlfb, when loaded as a module, will match against all USB 2.0 generation +DisplayLink chips (Alex and Ollie family). It will then attempt to read the EDID +of the monitor, and set the best common mode between the DisplayLink device +and the monitor's capabilities. + +If the DisplayLink device is successful, it will paint a "green screen" which +means that from a hardware and fbdev software perspective, everything is good. + +At that point, a /dev/fb? interface will be present for user-mode applications +to open and begin writing to the framebuffer of the DisplayLink device using +standard fbdev calls. Note that if mmap() is used, by default the user mode +application must send down damage notifcations to trigger repaints of the +changed regions. Alternatively, udlfb can be recompiled with experimental +defio support enabled, to support a page-fault based detection mechanism +that can work without explicit notifcation. + +The most common client of udlfb is xf86-video-displaylink or a modified +xf86-video-fbdev X server. These servers have no real DisplayLink specific +code. They write to the standard framebuffer interface and rely on udlfb +to do its thing. The one extra feature they have is the ability to report +rectangles from the X DAMAGE protocol extension down to udlfb via udlfb's +damage interface (which will hopefully be standardized for all virtual +framebuffers that need damage info). These damage notifications allow +udlfb to efficiently process the changed pixels. + +Module Options +============== + +Special configuration for udlfb is usually unnecessary. There are a few +options, however. + +From the command line, pass options to modprobe +modprobe udlfb defio=1 console=1 + +Or for permanent option, create file like /etc/modprobe.d/options with text +options udlfb defio=1 console=1 + +Accepted options: + +fb_defio Make use of the fb_defio (CONFIG_FB_DEFERRED_IO) kernel + module to track changed areas of the framebuffer by page faults. + Standard fbdev applications that use mmap but that do not + report damage, may be able to work with this enabled. + Disabled by default because of overhead and other issues. + +console Allow fbcon to attach to udlfb provided framebuffers. This + is disabled by default because fbcon will aggressively consume + the first framebuffer it finds, which isn't usually what the + user wants in the case of USB displays. + +Sysfs Attributes +================ + +Udlfb creates several files in /sys/class/graphics/fb? +Where ? is the sequential framebuffer id of the particular DisplayLink device + +edid If a valid EDID blob is written to this file (typically + by a udev rule), then udlfb will use this EDID as a + backup in case reading the actual EDID of the monitor + attached to the DisplayLink device fails.

Since -2.5.62 kernel, dcache has been using a new locking model that uses RCU -to make dcache look-up lock-free. - -The current dcache locking model is not very different from the -existing dcache locking model. Prior to 2.5.62 kernel, dcache_lock -protected the hash chain, d_child, d_alias, d_lru lists as well as -d_inode and several other things like mount look-up. RCU-based changes -affect only the way the hash chain is protected. For everything else -the dcache_lock must be taken for both traversing as well as -updating. The hash chain updates too take the dcache_lock. The -significant change is the way d_lookup traverses the hash chain, it -doesn't acquire the dcache_lock for this and rely on RCU to ensure -that the dentry has not been *freed*. - - -Dcache locking details -====================== - -For many multi-user workloads, open() and stat() on files are very -frequently occurring operations. Both involve walking of path names to -find the dentry corresponding to the concerned file. In 2.4 kernel, -dcache_lock was held during look-up of each path component. Contention -and cache-line bouncing of this global lock caused significant -scalability problems. With the introduction of RCU in Linux kernel, -this was worked around by making the look-up of path components during -path walking lock-free. - - -Safe lock-free look-up of dcache hash table -=========================================== - -Dcache is a complex data structure with the hash table entries also -linked together in other lists. In 2.4 kernel, dcache_lock protected -all the lists. We applied RCU only on hash chain walking. The rest of -the lists are still protected by dcache_lock. Some of the important -changes are : - -1. The deletion from hash chain is done using hlist_del_rcu() macro - which doesn't initialize next pointer of the deleted dentry and - this allows us to walk safely lock-free while a deletion is - happening. - -2. Insertion of a dentry into the hash table is done using - hlist_add_head_rcu() which take care of ordering the writes - the - writes to the dentry must be visible before the dentry is - inserted. This works in conjunction with hlist_for_each_rcu(), - which has since been replaced by hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(), while - walking the hash chain. The only requirement is that all - initialization to the dentry must be done before - hlist_add_head_rcu() since we don't have dcache_lock protection - while traversing the hash chain. This isn't different from the - existing code. - -3. The dentry looked up without holding dcache_lock by cannot be - returned for walking if it is unhashed. It then may have a NULL - d_inode or other bogosity since RCU doesn't protect the other - fields in the dentry. We therefore use a flag DCACHE_UNHASHED to - indicate unhashed dentries and use this in conjunction with a - per-dentry lock (d_lock). Once looked up without the dcache_lock, - we acquire the per-dentry lock (d_lock) and check if the dentry is - unhashed. If so, the look-up is failed. If not, the reference count - of the dentry is increased and the dentry is returned. - -4. Once a dentry is looked up, it must be ensured during the path walk - for that component it doesn't go away. In pre-2.5.10 code, this was - done holding a reference to the dentry. dcache_rcu does the same. - In some sense, dcache_rcu path walking looks like the pre-2.5.10 - version. - -5. All dentry hash chain updates must take the dcache_lock as well as - the per-dentry lock in that order. dput() does this to ensure that - a dentry that has just been looked up in another CPU doesn't get - deleted before dget() can be done on it. - -6. There are several ways to do reference counting of RCU protected - objects. One such example is in ipv4 route cache where deferred - freeing (using call_rcu()) is done as soon as the reference count - goes to zero. This cannot be done in the case of dentries because - tearing down of dentries require blocking (dentry_iput()) which - isn't supported from RCU callbacks. Instead, tearing down of - dentries happen synchronously in dput(), but actual freeing happens - later when RCU grace period is over. This allows safe lock-free - walking of the hash chains, but a matched dentry may have been - partially torn down. The checking of DCACHE_UNHASHED flag with - d_lock held detects such dentries and prevents them from being - returned from look-up. - - -Maintaining POSIX rename semantics -================================== - -Since look-up of dentries is lock-free, it can race against a -concurrent rename operation. For example, during rename of file A to -B, look-up of either A or B must succeed. So, if look-up of B happens -after A has been removed from the hash chain but not added to the new -hash chain, it may fail. Also, a comparison while the name is being -written concurrently by a rename may result in false positive matches -violating rename semantics. Issues related to race with rename are -handled as described below : - -1. Look-up can be done in two ways - d_lookup() which is safe from - simultaneous renames and __d_lookup() which is not. If - __d_lookup() fails, it must be followed up by a d_lookup() to - correctly determine whether a dentry is in the hash table or - not. d_lookup() protects look-ups using a sequence lock - (rename_lock). - -2. The name associated with a dentry (d_name) may be changed if a - rename is allowed to happen simultaneously. To avoid memcmp() in - __d_lookup() go out of bounds due to a rename and false positive - comparison, the name comparison is done while holding the - per-dentry lock. This prevents concurrent renames during this - operation. - -3. Hash table walking during look-up may move to a different bucket as - the current dentry is moved to a different bucket due to rename. - But we use hlists in dcache hash table and they are - null-terminated. So, even if a dentry moves to a different bucket, - hash chain walk will terminate. [with a list_head list, it may not - since termination is when the list_head in the original bucket is - reached]. Since we redo the d_parent check and compare name while - holding d_lock, lock-free look-up will not race against d_move(). - -4. There can be a theoretical race when a dentry keeps coming back to - original bucket due to double moves. Due to this look-up may - consider that it has never moved and can end up in a infinite loop. - But this is not any worse that theoretical livelocks we already - have in the kernel. - - -Important guidelines for filesystem developers related to dcache_rcu -==================================================================== - -1. Existing dcache interfaces (pre-2.5.62) exported to filesystem - don't change. Only dcache internal implementation changes. However - filesystems *must not* delete from the dentry hash chains directly - using the list macros like allowed earlier. They must use dcache - APIs like d_drop() or __d_drop() depending on the situation. - -2. d_flags is now protected by a per-dentry lock (d_lock). All access - to d_flags must be protected by it. - -3. For a hashed dentry, checking of d_count needs to be protected by - d_lock. - - -Papers and other documentation on dcache locking -================================================ - -1.

However it also increases +the lock hold time significantly and affects performance in large SMP machines. +Since 2.5.62 kernel, dcache has been using a new locking model that uses RCU to +make dcache look-up lock-free. + +All the above algorithms required taking a lock and reference count on the +dentry that was looked up, so that may be used as the basis for walking the +next path element. This is inefficient and unscalable. It is inefficient +because of the locks and atomic operations required for every dentry element +slows things down. It is not scalable because many parallel applications that +are path-walk intensive tend to do path lookups starting from a common dentry +(usually, the root "/" or current working directory). So contention on these +common path elements causes lock and cacheline queueing. + +Since 2.6.38, RCU is used to make a significant part of the entire path walk +(including dcache look-up) completely "store-free" (so, no locks, atomics, or +even stores into cachelines of common dentries). This is known as "rcu-walk" +path walking. + +Path walking overview +===================== + +A name string specifies a start (root directory, cwd, fd-relative) and a +sequence of elements (directory entry names), which together refer to a path in +the namespace. A path is represented as a (dentry, vfsmount) tuple. The name +elements are sub-strings, seperated by '/'. + +Name lookups will want to find a particular path that a name string refers to +(usually the final element, or parent of final element). This is done by taking +the path given by the name's starting point (which we know in advance -- eg. +current->fs->cwd or current->fs->root) as the first parent of the lookup. Then +iteratively for each subsequent name element, look up the child of the current +parent with the given name and if it is not the desired entry, make it the +parent for the next lookup. + +A parent, of course, must be a directory, and we must have appropriate +permissions on the parent inode to be able to walk into it. + +Turning the child into a parent for the next lookup requires more checks and +procedures. Symlinks essentially substitute the symlink name for the target +name in the name string, and require some recursive path walking. Mount points +must be followed into (thus changing the vfsmount that subsequent path elements +refer to), switching from the mount point path to the root of the particular +mounted vfsmount. These behaviours are variously modified depending on the +exact path walking flags. + +Path walking then must, broadly, do several particular things: +- find the start point of the walk; +- perform permissions and validity checks on inodes; +- perform dcache hash name lookups on (parent, name element) tuples; +- traverse mount points; +- traverse symlinks; +- lookup and create missing parts of the path on demand. + +Safe store-free look-up of dcache hash table +============================================ + +Dcache name lookup +------------------ +In order to lookup a dcache (parent, name) tuple, we take a hash on the tuple +and use that to select a bucket in the dcache-hash table. The list of entries +in that bucket is then walked, and we do a full comparison of each entry +against our (parent, name) tuple. + +The hash lists are RCU protected, so list walking is not serialised with +concurrent updates (insertion, deletion from the hash). This is a standard RCU +list application with the exception of renames, which will be covered below. + +Parent and name members of a dentry, as well as its membership in the dcache +hash, and its inode are protected by the per-dentry d_lock spinlock. A +reference is taken on the dentry (while the fields are verified under d_lock), +and this stabilises its d_inode pointer and actual inode. This gives a stable +point to perform the next step of our path walk against. + +These members are also protected by d_seq seqlock, although this offers +read-only protection and no durability of results, so care must be taken when +using d_seq for synchronisation (see seqcount based lookups, below). + +Renames +------- +Back to the rename case. In usual RCU protected lists, the only operations that +will happen to an object is insertion, and then eventually removal from the +list. The object will not be reused until an RCU grace period is complete. +This ensures the RCU list traversal primitives can run over the object without +problems (see RCU documentation for how this works). + +However when a dentry is renamed, its hash value can change, requiring it to be +moved to a new hash list. Allocating and inserting a new alias would be +expensive and also problematic for directory dentries. Latency would be far to +high to wait for a grace period after removing the dentry and before inserting +it in the new hash bucket. So what is done is to insert the dentry into the +new list immediately. + +However, when the dentry's list pointers are updated to point to objects in the +new list before waiting for a grace period, this can result in a concurrent RCU +lookup of the old list veering off into the new (incorrect) list and missing +the remaining dentries on the list. + +There is no fundamental problem with walking down the wrong list, because the +dentry comparisons will never match. However it is fatal to miss a matching +dentry. So a seqlock is used to detect when a rename has occurred, and so the +lookup can be retried. + + 1 2 3 + +---+ +---+ +---+ +hlist-->| N-+->| N-+->| N-+-> +head <--+-P |<-+-P |<-+-P | + +---+ +---+ +---+ + +Rename of dentry 2 may require it deleted from the above list, and inserted +into a new list.

Now when it follows 2's 'next' pointer, it will walk off into +another list without ever having checked object 3. + +A related, but distinctly different, issue is that of rename atomicity versus +lookup operations. If a file is renamed from 'A' to 'B', a lookup must only +find either 'A' or 'B'. So if a lookup of 'A' returns NULL, a subsequent lookup +of 'B' must succeed (note the reverse is not true). + +Between deleting the dentry from the old hash list, and inserting it on the new +hash list, a lookup may find neither 'A' nor 'B' matching the dentry. The same +rename seqlock is also used to cover this race in much the same way, by +retrying a negative lookup result if a rename was in progress. + +Seqcount based lookups +---------------------- +In refcount based dcache lookups, d_lock is used to serialise access to +the dentry, stabilising it while comparing its name and parent and then +taking a reference count (the reference count then gives a stable place to +start the next part of the path walk from). + +As explained above, we would like to do path walking without taking locks or +reference counts on intermediate dentries along the path. To do this, a per +dentry seqlock (d_seq) is used to take a "coherent snapshot" of what the dentry +looks like (its name, parent, and inode). That snapshot is then used to start +the next part of the path walk. When loading the coherent snapshot under d_seq, +care must be taken to load the members up-front, and use those pointers rather +than reloading from the dentry later on (otherwise we'd have interesting things +like d_inode going NULL underneath us, if the name was unlinked). + +Also important is to avoid performing any destructive operations (pretty much: +no non-atomic stores to shared data), and to recheck the seqcount when we are +"done" with the operation. Retry or abort if the seqcount does not match. +Avoiding destructive or changing operations means we can easily unwind from +failure. + +What this means is that a caller, provided they are holding RCU lock to +protect the dentry object from disappearing, can perform a seqcount based +lookup which does not increment the refcount on the dentry or write to +it in any way. This returned dentry can be used for subsequent operations, +provided that d_seq is rechecked after that operation is complete. + +Inodes are also rcu freed, so the seqcount lookup dentry's inode may also be +queried for permissions. + +With this two parts of the puzzle, we can do path lookups without taking +locks or refcounts on dentry elements. + +RCU-walk path walking design +============================ + +Path walking code now has two distinct modes, ref-walk and rcu-walk. ref-walk +is the traditional[*] way of performing dcache lookups using d_lock to +serialise concurrent modifications to the dentry and take a reference count on +it. ref-walk is simple and obvious, and may sleep, take locks, etc while path +walking is operating on each dentry. rcu-walk uses seqcount based dentry +lookups, and can perform lookup of intermediate elements without any stores to +shared data in the dentry or inode. rcu-walk can not be applied to all cases, +eg. if the filesystem must sleep or perform non trivial operations, rcu-walk +must be switched to ref-walk mode. + +[*] RCU is still used for the dentry hash lookup in ref-walk, but not the full + path walk. + +Where ref-walk uses a stable, refcounted ``parent'' to walk the remaining +path string, rcu-walk uses a d_seq protected snapshot. When looking up a +child of this parent snapshot, we open d_seq critical section on the child +before closing d_seq critical section on the parent. This gives an interlocking +ladder of snapshots to walk down. + + + proc 101 + /----------------\ + / comm: "vi" \ + / fs.root: dentry0 \ + \ fs.cwd: dentry2 / + \ / + \----------------/ + +So when vi wants to open("/home/npiggin/test.c", O_RDWR), then it will +start from current->fs->root, which is a pinned dentry. Alternatively, +"./test.c" would start from cwd; both names refer to the same path in +the context of proc101. + + dentry 0 + +---------------------+ rcu-walk begins here, we note d_seq, check the + | name: "/" | inode's permission, and then look up the next + | inode: 10 | path element which is "home"... + | children:"home", ...| + +---------------------+ + | + dentry 1 V + +---------------------+ ... which brings us here. We find dentry1 via + | name: "home" | hash lookup, then note d_seq and compare name + | inode: 678 | string and parent pointer. When we have a match, + | children:"npiggin" | we now recheck the d_seq of dentry0. Then we + +---------------------+ check inode and look up the next element. + | + dentry2 V + +---------------------+ Note: if dentry0 is now modified, lookup is + | name: "npiggin" | not necessarily invalid, so we need only keep a + | inode: 543 | parent for d_seq verification, and grandparents + | children:"a.c", ... | can be forgotten. + +---------------------+ + | + dentry3 V + +---------------------+ At this point we have our destination dentry. + | name: "a.c" | We now take its d_lock, verify d_seq of this + | inode: 14221 | dentry. If that checks out, we can increment + | children:NULL | its refcount because we're holding d_lock. + +---------------------+ + +Taking a refcount on a dentry from rcu-walk mode, by taking its d_lock, +re-checking its d_seq, and then incrementing its refcount is called +"dropping rcu" or dropping from rcu-walk into ref-walk mode. + +It is, in some sense, a bit of a house of cards. If the seqcount check of the +parent snapshot fails, the house comes down, because we had closed the d_seq +section on the grandparent, so we have nothing left to stand on. In that case, +the path walk must be fully restarted (which we do in ref-walk mode, to avoid +live locks). It is costly to have a full restart, but fortunately they are +quite rare. + +When we reach a point where sleeping is required, or a filesystem callout +requires ref-walk, then instead of restarting the walk, we attempt to drop rcu +at the last known good dentry we have. Avoiding a full restart in ref-walk in +these cases is fundamental for performance and scalability because blocking +operations such as creates and unlinks are not uncommon. + +The detailed design for rcu-walk is like this: +* LOOKUP_RCU is set in nd->flags, which distinguishes rcu-walk from ref-walk. +* Take the RCU lock for the entire path walk, starting with the acquiring + of the starting path (eg. root/cwd/fd-path). So now dentry refcounts are + not required for dentry persistence. +* synchronize_rcu is called when unregistering a filesystem, so we can + access d_ops and i_ops during rcu-walk. +* Similarly take the vfsmount lock for the entire path walk. So now mnt + refcounts are not required for persistence. Also we are free to perform mount + lookups, and to assume dentry mount points and mount roots are stable up and + down the path. +* Have a per-dentry seqlock to protect the dentry name, parent, and inode, + so we can load this tuple atomically, and also check whether any of its + members have changed. +* Dentry lookups (based on parent, candidate string tuple) recheck the parent + sequence after the child is found in case anything changed in the parent + during the path walk. +* inode is also RCU protected so we can load d_inode and use the inode for + limited things. +* i_mode, i_uid, i_gid can be tested for exec permissions during path walk. +* i_op can be loaded. +* When the destination dentry is reached, drop rcu there (ie. take d_lock, + verify d_seq, increment refcount). +* If seqlock verification fails anywhere along the path, do a full restart + of the path lookup in ref-walk mode. -ECHILD tends to be used (for want of + a better errno) to signal an rcu-walk failure. + +The cases where rcu-walk cannot continue are: +* NULL dentry (ie. any uncached path element) +* Following links + +It may be possible eventually to make following links rcu-walk aware. + +Uncached path elements will always require dropping to ref-walk mode, at the +very least because i_mutex needs to be grabbed, and objects allocated. + +Final note: +"store-free" path walking is not strictly store free. We take vfsmount lock +and refcounts (both of which can be made per-cpu), and we also store to the +stack (which is essentially CPU-local), and we also have to take locks and +refcount on final dentry. + +The point is that shared data, where practically possible, is not locked +or stored into. The result is massive improvements in performance and +scalability of path resolution. + + +Interesting statistics +====================== + +The following table gives rcu lookup statistics for a few simple workloads +(2s12c24t Westmere, debian non-graphical system). Ungraceful are attempts to +drop rcu that fail due to d_seq failure and requiring the entire path lookup +again. Other cases are successful rcu-drops that are required before the final +element, nodentry for missing dentry, revalidate for filesystem revalidate +routine requiring rcu drop, permission for permission check requiring drop, +and link for symlink traversal requiring drop. + + rcu-lookups restart nodentry link revalidate permission +bootup 47121 0 4624 1010 10283 7852 +dbench 25386793 0 6778659(26.7%) 55 549 1156 +kbuild 2696672 10 64442(2.3%) 108764(4.0%) 1 1590 +git diff 39605 0 28 2 0 106 +vfstest 24185492 4945 708725(2.9%) 1076136(4.4%) 0 2651 + +What this shows is that failed rcu-walk lookups, ie. ones that are restarted +entirely with ref-walk, are quite rare.

You can apply it to +your programs, too. + + When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not +price.

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.

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.

Unlike the batman daemon, +which exchanges information using UDP packets and sets routing +tables, batman-advanced operates on ISO/OSI Layer 2 only and uses +and routes (or better: bridges) Ethernet Frames. It emulates a +virtual network switch of all nodes participating. Therefore all +nodes appear to be link local, thus all higher operating proto- +cols won't be affected by any changes within the network. You can +run almost any protocol above batman advanced, prominent examples +are: IPv4, IPv6, DHCP, IPX. + +Batman advanced was implemented as a Linux kernel driver to re- +duce the overhead to a minimum. It does not depend on any (other) +network driver, and can be used on wifi as well as ethernet lan, +vpn, etc ... (anything with ethernet-style layer 2). + +CONFIGURATION +------------- + +Load the batman-adv module into your kernel: + +# insmod batman-adv.ko + +The module is now waiting for activation. You must add some in- +terfaces on which batman can operate. After loading the module +batman advanced will scan your systems interfaces to search for +compatible interfaces. Once found, it will create subfolders in +the /sys directories of each supported interface, e.g. + +# ls /sys/class/net/eth0/batman_adv/ +# iface_status mesh_iface + +If an interface does not have the "batman_adv" subfolder it prob- +ably is not supported. Not supported interfaces are: loopback, +non-ethernet and batman's own interfaces. + +Note: After the module was loaded it will continuously watch for +new interfaces to verify the compatibility. There is no need to +reload the module if you plug your USB wifi adapter into your ma- +chine after batman advanced was initially loaded. + +To activate a given interface simply write "bat0" into its +"mesh_iface" file inside the batman_adv subfolder: + +# echo bat0 > /sys/class/net/eth0/batman_adv/mesh_iface + +Repeat this step for all interfaces you wish to add.

For example, you can view the table of +originators (mesh participants) with: + +# cat /sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/bat0/originators + +Other files allow to change batman's behaviour to better fit your +requirements. For instance, you can check the current originator +interval (value in milliseconds which determines how often batman +sends its broadcast packets): + +# cat /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/orig_interval +# 1000 + +and also change its value: + +# echo 3000 > /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/orig_interval + +In very mobile scenarios, you might want to adjust the originator +interval to a lower value. This will make the mesh more respon- +sive to topology changes, but will also increase the overhead. + + +USAGE +----- + +To make use of your newly created mesh, batman advanced provides +a new interface "bat0" which you should use from this point on. +All interfaces added to batman advanced are not relevant any +longer because batman handles them for you. Basically, one "hands +over" the data by using the batman interface and batman will make +sure it reaches its destination. + +The "bat0" interface can be used like any other regular inter- +face. It needs an IP address which can be either statically con- +figured or dynamically (by using DHCP or similar services): + +# NodeA: ifconfig bat0 192.168.0.1 +# NodeB: ifconfig bat0 192.168.0.2 +# NodeB: ping 192.168.0.1 + +Note: In order to avoid problems remove all IP addresses previ- +ously assigned to interfaces now used by batman advanced, e.g. + +# ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 + + +VISUALIZATION +------------- + +If you want topology visualization, at least one mesh node must +be configured as VIS-server: + +# echo "server" > /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/vis_mode + +Each node is either configured as "server" or as "client" (de- +fault: "client"). Clients send their topology data to the server +next to them, and server synchronize with other servers. If there +is no server configured (default) within the mesh, no topology +information will be transmitted. With these "synchronizing +servers", there can be 1 or more vis servers sharing the same (or +at least very similar) data. + +When configured as server, you can get a topology snapshot of +your mesh: + +# cat /sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/bat0/vis_data + +This raw output is intended to be easily parsable and convertable +with other tools. Have a look at the batctl README if you want a +vis output in dot or json format for instance and how those out- +puts could then be visualised in an image. + +The raw format consists of comma separated values per entry where +each entry is giving information about a certain source inter- +face. Each entry can/has to have the following values: +-> "mac" - mac address of an originator's source interface + (each line begins with it) +-> "TQ mac value" - src mac's link quality towards mac address + of a neighbor originator's interface which + is being used for routing +-> "HNA mac" - HNA announced by source mac +-> "PRIMARY" - this is a primary interface +-> "SEC mac" - secondary mac address of source + (requires preceding PRIMARY) + +The TQ value has a range from 4 to 255 with 255 being the best. +The HNA entries are showing which hosts are connected to the mesh +via bat0 or being bridged into the mesh network.

Depending on your operating system distribution +this can be read in one of a number of ways. Try using the com- +mands: dmesg, logread, or looking in the files /var/log/kern.log +or /var/log/syslog. All batman-adv messages are prefixed with +"batman-adv:" So to see just these messages try + +# dmesg | grep batman-adv + +When investigating problems with your mesh network it is some- +times necessary to see more detail debug messages. This must be +enabled when compiling the batman-adv module. When building bat- +man-adv as part of kernel, use "make menuconfig" and enable the +option "B.A.T.M.A.N. debugging". + +Those additional debug messages can be accessed using a special +file in debugfs + +# cat /sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/bat0/log + +The additional debug output is by default disabled.

Following log_levels are defined: + +0 - All debug output disabled +1 - Enable messages related to routing / flooding / broadcasting +2 - Enable route or hna added / changed / deleted +3 - Enable all messages + +The debug output can be changed at runtime using the file +/sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/log_level. e.g. + +# echo 2 > /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/log_level + +will enable debug messages for when routes or HNAs change. + + +BATCTL +------ + +As batman advanced operates on layer 2 all hosts participating in +the virtual switch are completely transparent for all protocols +above layer 2.

The driver goes under drives/nfc/ and is compiled as a +module named "pn544". It registers a misc device and creates a device +file named "/dev/pn544". + +Host Interfaces: I2C, SPI and HSU, this driver supports currently only I2C. + +The Interface +------------- + +The driver offers a sysfs interface for a hardware test and an IOCTL +interface for selecting between two operating modes. There are read, +write and poll functions for transferring messages. The two operating +modes are the normal (HCI) mode and the firmware update mode. + +PN544 is controlled by sending messages from the userspace to the +chip. The main function of the driver is just to pass those messages +without caring about the message content. + + +Protocols +--------- + +In the normal (HCI) mode and in the firmware update mode read and +write functions behave a bit differently because the message formats +or the protocols are different. + +In the normal (HCI) mode the protocol used is derived from the ETSI +HCI specification. The firmware is updated using a specific protocol, +which is different from HCI. + +HCI messages consist of an eight bit header and the message body. The +header contains the message length. Maximum size for an HCI message is +33. In HCI mode sent messages are tested for a correct +checksum. Firmware update messages have the length in the second (MSB) +and third (LSB) bytes of the message. The maximum FW message length is +1024 bytes. + +For the ETSI HCI specification see +http://www.etsi.org/WebSite/Technologies/ProtocolSpecification.aspx + +The Hardware Test +----------------- + +The idea of the test is that it can performed by reading from the +corresponding sysfs file. The test is implemented in the board file +and it should test that PN544 can be put into the firmware update +mode. If the test is not implemented the sysfs file does not get +created. + +Example: +> cat /sys/module/pn544/drivers/i2c\:pn544/3-002b/nfc_test +1 + +Normal Operation +---------------- + +PN544 is powered up when the device file is opened, otherwise it's +turned off.

INTRODUCTION + + EIA-485, also known as TIA/EIA-485 or RS-485, is a standard defining the + electrical characteristics of drivers and receivers for use in balanced + digital multipoint systems. + This standard is widely used for communications in industrial automation + because it can be used effectively over long distances and in electrically + noisy environments. + +2. HARDWARE-RELATED CONSIDERATIONS + + Some CPUs/UARTs (e.g., Atmel AT91 or 16C950 UART) contain a built-in + half-duplex mode capable of automatically controlling line direction by + toggling RTS or DTR signals. That can be used to control external + half-duplex hardware like an RS485 transceiver or any RS232-connected + half-duplex devices like some modems. + + For these microcontrollers, the Linux driver should be made capable of + working in both modes, and proper ioctls (see later) should be made + available at user-level to allow switching from one mode to the other, and + vice versa. + +3. DATA STRUCTURES ALREADY AVAILABLE IN THE KERNEL + + The Linux kernel provides the serial_rs485 structure (see [1]) to handle + RS485 communications. This data structure is used to set and configure RS485 + parameters in the platform data and in ioctls. + + Any driver for devices capable of working both as RS232 and RS485 should + provide at least the following ioctls: + + - TIOCSRS485 (typically associated with number 0x542F). This ioctl is used + to enable/disable RS485 mode from user-space + + - TIOCGRS485 (typically associated with number 0x542E). This ioctl is used + to get RS485 mode from kernel-space (i.e., driver) to user-space. + + In other words, the serial driver should contain a code similar to the next + one: + + static struct uart_ops atmel_pops = { + /* ... */ + .ioctl = handle_ioctl, + }; + + static int handle_ioctl(struct uart_port *port, + unsigned int cmd, + unsigned long arg) + { + struct serial_rs485 rs485conf; + + switch (cmd) { + case TIOCSRS485: + if (copy_from_user(&rs485conf, + (struct serial_rs485 *) arg, + sizeof(rs485conf))) + return -EFAULT; + + /* ... */ + break; + + case TIOCGRS485: + if (copy_to_user((struct serial_rs485 *) arg, + ..., + sizeof(rs485conf))) + return -EFAULT; + /* ... */ + break; + + /* ... */ + } + } + + +4.

Transparent Hugepage Support is an alternative means of +using huge pages for the backing of virtual memory with huge pages +that supports the automatic promotion and demotion of page sizes and +without the shortcomings of hugetlbfs. + +Currently it only works for anonymous memory mappings but in the +future it can expand over the pagecache layer starting with tmpfs. + +The reason applications are running faster is because of two +factors. The first factor is almost completely irrelevant and it's not +of significant interest because it'll also have the downside of +requiring larger clear-page copy-page in page faults which is a +potentially negative effect. The first factor consists in taking a +single page fault for each 2M virtual region touched by userland (so +reducing the enter/exit kernel frequency by a 512 times factor). This +only matters the first time the memory is accessed for the lifetime of +a memory mapping. The second long lasting and much more important +factor will affect all subsequent accesses to the memory for the whole +runtime of the application. The second factor consist of two +components: 1) the TLB miss will run faster (especially with +virtualization using nested pagetables but almost always also on bare +metal without virtualization) and 2) a single TLB entry will be +mapping a much larger amount of virtual memory in turn reducing the +number of TLB misses. With virtualization and nested pagetables the +TLB can be mapped of larger size only if both KVM and the Linux guest +are using hugepages but a significant speedup already happens if only +one of the two is using hugepages just because of the fact the TLB +miss is going to run faster. + +== Design == + +- "graceful fallback": mm components which don't have transparent + hugepage knowledge fall back to breaking a transparent hugepage and + working on the regular pages and their respective regular pmd/pte + mappings + +- if a hugepage allocation fails because of memory fragmentation, + regular pages should be gracefully allocated instead and mixed in + the same vma without any failure or significant delay and without + userland noticing + +- if some task quits and more hugepages become available (either + immediately in the buddy or through the VM), guest physical memory + backed by regular pages should be relocated on hugepages + automatically (with khugepaged) + +- it doesn't require memory reservation and in turn it uses hugepages + whenever possible (the only possible reservation here is kernelcore= + to avoid unmovable pages to fragment all the memory but such a tweak + is not specific to transparent hugepage support and it's a generic + feature that applies to all dynamic high order allocations in the + kernel) + +- this initial support only offers the feature in the anonymous memory + regions but it'd be ideal to move it to tmpfs and the pagecache + later + +Transparent Hugepage Support maximizes the usefulness of free memory +if compared to the reservation approach of hugetlbfs by allowing all +unused memory to be used as cache or other movable (or even unmovable +entities). It doesn't require reservation to prevent hugepage +allocation failures to be noticeable from userland. It allows paging +and all other advanced VM features to be available on the +hugepages. It requires no modifications for applications to take +advantage of it. + +Applications however can be further optimized to take advantage of +this feature, like for example they've been optimized before to avoid +a flood of mmap system calls for every malloc(4k). Optimizing userland +is by far not mandatory and khugepaged already can take care of long +lived page allocations even for hugepage unaware applications that +deals with large amounts of memory. + +In certain cases when hugepages are enabled system wide, application +may end up allocating more memory resources. An application may mmap a +large region but only touch 1 byte of it, in that case a 2M page might +be allocated instead of a 4k page for no good. This is why it's +possible to disable hugepages system-wide and to only have them inside +MADV_HUGEPAGE madvise regions. + +Embedded systems should enable hugepages only inside madvise regions +to eliminate any risk of wasting any precious byte of memory and to +only run faster. + +Applications that gets a lot of benefit from hugepages and that don't +risk to lose memory by using hugepages, should use +madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) on their critical mmapped regions. + +== sysfs == + +Transparent Hugepage Support can be entirely disabled (mostly for +debugging purposes) or only enabled inside MADV_HUGEPAGE regions (to +avoid the risk of consuming more memory resources) or enabled system +wide. This can be achieved with one of: + +echo always >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled +echo madvise >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled +echo never >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled + +It's also possible to limit defrag efforts in the VM to generate +hugepages in case they're not immediately free to madvise regions or +to never try to defrag memory and simply fallback to regular pages +unless hugepages are immediately available. Clearly if we spend CPU +time to defrag memory, we would expect to gain even more by the fact +we use hugepages later instead of regular pages. This isn't always +guaranteed, but it may be more likely in case the allocation is for a +MADV_HUGEPAGE region. + +echo always >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag +echo madvise >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag +echo never >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag + +khugepaged will be automatically started when +transparent_hugepage/enabled is set to "always" or "madvise, and it'll +be automatically shutdown if it's set to "never". + +khugepaged runs usually at low frequency so while one may not want to +invoke defrag algorithms synchronously during the page faults, it +should be worth invoking defrag at least in khugepaged. However it's +also possible to disable defrag in khugepaged: + +echo yes >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/defrag +echo no >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/defrag + +You can also control how many pages khugepaged should scan at each +pass: + +/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/pages_to_scan + +and how many milliseconds to wait in khugepaged between each pass (you +can set this to 0 to run khugepaged at 100% utilization of one core): + +/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/scan_sleep_millisecs + +and how many milliseconds to wait in khugepaged if there's an hugepage +allocation failure to throttle the next allocation attempt. + +/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/alloc_sleep_millisecs + +The khugepaged progress can be seen in the number of pages collapsed: + +/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/pages_collapsed + +for each pass: + +/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/full_scans + +== Boot parameter == + +You can change the sysfs boot time defaults of Transparent Hugepage +Support by passing the parameter "transparent_hugepage=always" or +"transparent_hugepage=madvise" or "transparent_hugepage=never" +(without "") to the kernel command line. + +== Need of application restart == + +The transparent_hugepage/enabled values only affect future +behavior. So to make them effective you need to restart any +application that could have been using hugepages. This also applies to +the regions registered in khugepaged. + +== get_user_pages and follow_page == + +get_user_pages and follow_page if run on a hugepage, will return the +head or tail pages as usual (exactly as they would do on +hugetlbfs). Most gup users will only care about the actual physical +address of the page and its temporary pinning to release after the I/O +is complete, so they won't ever notice the fact the page is huge. But +if any driver is going to mangle over the page structure of the tail +page (like for checking page->mapping or other bits that are relevant +for the head page and not the tail page), it should be updated to jump +to check head page instead (while serializing properly against +split_huge_page() to avoid the head and tail pages to disappear from +under it, see the futex code to see an example of that, hugetlbfs also +needed special handling in futex code for similar reasons). + +NOTE: these aren't new constraints to the GUP API, and they match the +same constrains that applies to hugetlbfs too, so any driver capable +of handling GUP on hugetlbfs will also work fine on transparent +hugepage backed mappings. + +In case you can't handle compound pages if they're returned by +follow_page, the FOLL_SPLIT bit can be specified as parameter to +follow_page, so that it will split the hugepages before returning +them. Migration for example passes FOLL_SPLIT as parameter to +follow_page because it's not hugepage aware and in fact it can't work +at all on hugetlbfs (but it instead works fine on transparent +hugepages thanks to FOLL_SPLIT). migration simply can't deal with +hugepages being returned (as it's not only checking the pfn of the +page and pinning it during the copy but it pretends to migrate the +memory in regular page sizes and with regular pte/pmd mappings). + +== Optimizing the applications == + +To be guaranteed that the kernel will map a 2M page immediately in any +memory region, the mmap region has to be hugepage naturally +aligned. posix_memalign() can provide that guarantee. + +== Hugetlbfs == + +You can use hugetlbfs on a kernel that has transparent hugepage +support enabled just fine as always. No difference can be noted in +hugetlbfs other than there will be less overall fragmentation. All +usual features belonging to hugetlbfs are preserved and +unaffected. libhugetlbfs will also work fine as usual. + +== Graceful fallback == + +Code walking pagetables but unware about huge pmds can simply call +split_huge_page_pmd(mm, pmd) where the pmd is the one returned by +pmd_offset. It's trivial to make the code transparent hugepage aware +by just grepping for "pmd_offset" and adding split_huge_page_pmd where +missing after pmd_offset returns the pmd. Thanks to the graceful +fallback design, with a one liner change, you can avoid to write +hundred if not thousand of lines of complex code to make your code +hugepage aware. + +If you're not walking pagetables but you run into a physical hugepage +but you can't handle it natively in your code, you can split it by +calling split_huge_page(page).

You must hold the +mmap_sem in read (or write) mode to be sure an huge pmd cannot be +created from under you by khugepaged (khugepaged collapse_huge_page +takes the mmap_sem in write mode in addition to the anon_vma lock). If +pmd_trans_huge returns false, you just fallback in the old code +paths. If instead pmd_trans_huge returns true, you have to take the +mm->page_table_lock and re-run pmd_trans_huge. Taking the +page_table_lock will prevent the huge pmd to be converted into a +regular pmd from under you (split_huge_page can run in parallel to the +pagetable walk). If the second pmd_trans_huge returns false, you +should just drop the page_table_lock and fallback to the old code as +before. Otherwise you should run pmd_trans_splitting on the pmd. In +case pmd_trans_splitting returns true, it means split_huge_page is +already in the middle of splitting the page. So if pmd_trans_splitting +returns true it's enough to drop the page_table_lock and call +wait_split_huge_page and then fallback the old code paths. You are +guaranteed by the time wait_split_huge_page returns, the pmd isn't +huge anymore. If pmd_trans_splitting returns false, you can proceed to +process the huge pmd and the hugepage natively. Once finished you can +drop the page_table_lock. + +== compound_lock, get_user_pages and put_page == + +split_huge_page internally has to distribute the refcounts in the head +page to the tail pages before clearing all PG_head/tail bits from the +page structures. It can do that easily for refcounts taken by huge pmd +mappings. But the GUI API as created by hugetlbfs (that returns head +and tail pages if running get_user_pages on an address backed by any +hugepage), requires the refcount to be accounted on the tail pages and +not only in the head pages, if we want to be able to run +split_huge_page while there are gup pins established on any tail +page. Failure to be able to run split_huge_page if there's any gup pin +on any tail page, would mean having to split all hugepages upfront in +get_user_pages which is unacceptable as too many gup users are +performance critical and they must work natively on hugepages like +they work natively on hugetlbfs already (hugetlbfs is simpler because +hugetlbfs pages cannot be splitted so there wouldn't be requirement of +accounting the pins on the tail pages for hugetlbfs). If we wouldn't +account the gup refcounts on the tail pages during gup, we won't know +anymore which tail page is pinned by gup and which is not while we run +split_huge_page. But we still have to add the gup pin to the head page +too, to know when we can free the compound page in case it's never +splitted during its lifetime. That requires changing not just +get_page, but put_page as well so that when put_page runs on a tail +page (and only on a tail page) it will find its respective head page, +and then it will decrease the head page refcount in addition to the +tail page refcount. To obtain a head page reliably and to decrease its +refcount without race conditions, put_page has to serialize against +__split_huge_page_refcount using a special per-page lock called +compound_lock. diff --git a/Documentation/w1/slaves/00-INDEX b/Documentation/w1/slaves/00-INDEX index f8101d6b07b7..75613c9ac4db 100644 --- a/Documentation/w1/slaves/00-INDEX +++ b/Documentation/w1/slaves/00-INDEX @@ -2,3 +2,5 @@ - This file w1_therm - The Maxim/Dallas Semiconductor ds18*20 temperature sensor. +w1_ds2423 + - The Maxim/Dallas Semiconductor ds2423 counter device. diff --git a/Documentation/w1/slaves/w1_ds2423 b/Documentation/w1/slaves/w1_ds2423 new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..90a65d23cf59 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/w1/slaves/w1_ds2423 @@ -0,0 +1,47 @@ +Kernel driver w1_ds2423 +======================= + +Supported chips: + * Maxim DS2423 based counter devices. + +supported family codes: + W1_THERM_DS2423 0x1D + +Author: Mika Laitio <lamikr@pilppa.org> + +Description +----------- + +Support is provided through the sysfs w1_slave file.

The primary compression + algorithm (filter) is LZMA2. Additional filters can be used to improve + compression ratio even further. E.g. Branch/Call/Jump (BCJ) filters + improve compression ratio of executable data. + + The XZ decompressor in Linux is called XZ Embedded. It supports + the LZMA2 filter and optionally also BCJ filters. CRC32 is supported + for integrity checking. The home page of XZ Embedded is at + <http://tukaani.org/xz/embedded.html>, where you can find the + latest version and also information about using the code outside + the Linux kernel. + + For userspace, XZ Utils provide a zlib-like compression library + and a gzip-like command line tool. XZ Utils can be downloaded from + <http://tukaani.org/xz/>. + +XZ related components in the kernel + + The xz_dec module provides XZ decompressor with single-call (buffer + to buffer) and multi-call (stateful) APIs. The usage of the xz_dec + module is documented in include/linux/xz.h. + + The xz_dec_test module is for testing xz_dec. xz_dec_test is not + useful unless you are hacking the XZ decompressor. xz_dec_test + allocates a char device major dynamically to which one can write + .xz files from userspace. The decompressed output is thrown away. + Keep an eye on dmesg to see diagnostics printed by xz_dec_test. + See the xz_dec_test source code for the details. + + For decompressing the kernel image, initramfs, and initrd, there + is a wrapper function in lib/decompress_unxz.c. Its API is the + same as in other decompress_*.c files, which is defined in + include/linux/decompress/generic.h. + + scripts/xz_wrap.sh is a wrapper for the xz command line tool found + from XZ Utils. The wrapper sets compression options to values suitable + for compressing the kernel image. + + For kernel makefiles, two commands are provided for use with + $(call if_needed). The kernel image should be compressed with + $(call if_needed,xzkern) which will use a BCJ filter and a big LZMA2 + dictionary. It will also append a four-byte trailer containing the + uncompressed size of the file, which is needed by the boot code. + Other things should be compressed with $(call if_needed,xzmisc) + which will use no BCJ filter and 1 MiB LZMA2 dictionary. + +Notes on compression options + + Since the XZ Embedded supports only streams with no integrity check or + CRC32, make sure that you don't use some other integrity check type + when encoding files that are supposed to be decoded by the kernel. With + liblzma, you need to use either LZMA_CHECK_NONE or LZMA_CHECK_CRC32 + when encoding. With the xz command line tool, use --check=none or + --check=crc32. + + Using CRC32 is strongly recommended unless there is some other layer + which will verify the integrity of the uncompressed data anyway. + Double checking the integrity would probably be waste of CPU cycles. + Note that the headers will always have a CRC32 which will be validated + by the decoder; you can only change the integrity check type (or + disable it) for the actual uncompressed data. + + In userspace, LZMA2 is typically used with dictionary sizes of several + megabytes. The decoder needs to have the dictionary in RAM, thus big + dictionaries cannot be used for files that are intended to be decoded + by the kernel. 1 MiB is probably the maximum reasonable dictionary + size for in-kernel use (maybe more is OK for initramfs). The presets + in XZ Utils may not be optimal when creating files for the kernel, + so don't hesitate to use custom settings. Example: + + xz --check=crc32 --lzma2=dict=512KiB inputfile + + An exception to above dictionary size limitation is when the decoder + is used in single-call mode. Decompressing the kernel itself is an + example of this situation. In single-call mode, the memory usage + doesn't depend on the dictionary size, and it is perfectly fine to + use a big dictionary: for maximum compression, the dictionary should + be at least as big as the uncompressed data itself. + +Future plans + + Creating a limited XZ encoder may be considered if people think it is + useful. LZMA2 is slower to compress than e.g. Deflate or LZO even at + the fastest settings, so it isn't clear if LZMA2 encoder is wanted + into the kernel. + + Support for limited random-access reading is planned for the + decompression code. I don't know if it could have any use in the + kernel, but I know that it would be useful in some embedded projects + outside the Linux kernel. + +Conformance to the .xz file format specification + + There are a couple of corner cases where things have been simplified + at expense of detecting errors as early as possible. These should not + matter in practice all, since they don't cause security issues. But + it is good to know this if testing the code e.g. with the test files + from XZ Utils. + +Reporting bugs + + Before reporting a bug, please check that it's not fixed already + at upstream.
