+Description:
+ Each USB device directory will contain a file named
+ power/level. This file holds a power-level setting for
+ the device, either "on" or "auto".
+
+ "on" means that the device is not allowed to autosuspend,
+ although normal suspends for system sleep will still
+ be honored. "auto" means the device will autosuspend
+ and autoresume in the usual manner, according to the
+ capabilities of its driver.
+
+ During normal use, devices should be left in the "auto"
+ level. The "on" level is meant for administrative uses.
+ If you want to suspend a device immediately but leave it
+ free to wake up in response to I/O requests, you should
+ write "0" to power/autosuspend.
+
+ Device not capable of proper suspend and resume should be
+ left in the "on" level. Although the USB spec requires
+ devices to support suspend/resume, many of them do not.
+ In fact so many don't that by default, the USB core
+ initializes all non-hub devices in the "on" level. Some
+ drivers may change this setting when they are bound.
+
+ This file is deprecated and will be removed after 2010.
+ Use the power/control file instead; it does exactly the
+ same thing.

+The maintainers of the various kernel subsystems --- and also many
+kernel subsystem developers --- expose their current state of
+development in source repositories. That way, others can see what is
+happening in the different areas of the kernel. In areas where
+development is rapid, a developer may be asked to base his submissions
+onto such a subsystem kernel tree so that conflicts between the
+submission and other already ongoing work are avoided.
+
+Most of these repositories are git trees, but there are also other SCMs
+in use, or patch queues being published as quilt series. Addresses of
+these subsystem repositories are listed in the MAINTAINERS file. Many
+of them can be browsed at http://git.kernel.org/.
+
+Before a proposed patch is committed to such a subsystem tree, it is
+subject to review which primarily happens on mailing lists (see the
+respective section below). For several kernel subsystems, this review
+process is tracked with the tool patchwork. Patchwork offers a web
+interface which shows patch postings, any comments on a patch or
+revisions to it, and maintainers can mark patches as under review,
+accepted, or rejected. Most of these patchwork sites are listed at
+http://patchwork.kernel.org/ or http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/.
+
+2.6.x -next kernel tree for integration tests
+---------------------------------------------
+Before updates from subsystem trees are merged into the mainline 2.6.x
+tree, they need to be integration-tested. For this purpose, a special
+testing repository exists into which virtually all subsystem trees are
+pulled on an almost daily basis:
+ http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next.git
+ http://linux.f-seidel.de/linux-next/pmwiki/
+
+This way, the -next kernel gives a summary outlook onto what will be
+expected to go into the mainline kernel at the next merge period.
+Adventurous testers are very welcome to runtime-test the -next kernel.
- Other kernel trees can be found listed at http://git.kernel.org/ and in
- the MAINTAINERS file.

+ SPEAr (Structured Processor Enhanced Architecture).
+ weblink : http://www.st.com/spear
+
+ The ST Microelectronics SPEAr range of ARM9/CortexA9 System-on-Chip CPUs are
+ supported by the 'spear' platform of ARM Linux. Currently SPEAr300,
+ SPEAr310, SPEAr320 and SPEAr600 SOCs are supported. Support for the SPEAr13XX
+ series is in progress.
+
+ Hierarchy in SPEAr is as follows:
+
+ SPEAr (Platform)
+ - SPEAr3XX (3XX SOC series, based on ARM9)
+ - SPEAr300 (SOC)
+ - SPEAr300_EVB (Evaluation Board)
+ - SPEAr310 (SOC)
+ - SPEAr310_EVB (Evaluation Board)
+ - SPEAr320 (SOC)
+ - SPEAr320_EVB (Evaluation Board)
+ - SPEAr6XX (6XX SOC series, based on ARM9)
+ - SPEAr600 (SOC)
+ - SPEAr600_EVB (Evaluation Board)
+ - SPEAr13XX (13XX SOC series, based on ARM CORTEXA9)
+ - SPEAr1300 (SOC)
+
+ Configuration
+ -------------
+
+ A generic configuration is provided for each machine, and can be used as the
+ default by
+ make spear600_defconfig
+ make spear300_defconfig
+ make spear310_defconfig
+ make spear320_defconfig
+
+ Layout
+ ------
+
+ The common files for multiple machine families (SPEAr3XX, SPEAr6XX and
+ SPEAr13XX) are located in the platform code contained in arch/arm/plat-spear
+ with headers in plat/.
+
+ Each machine series have a directory with name arch/arm/mach-spear followed by
+ series name. Like mach-spear3xx, mach-spear6xx and mach-spear13xx.
+
+ Common file for machines of spear3xx family is mach-spear3xx/spear3xx.c and for
+ spear6xx is mach-spear6xx/spear6xx.c. mach-spear* also contain soc/machine
+ specific files, like spear300.c, spear310.c, spear320.c and spear600.c.
+ mach-spear* also contains board specific files for each machine type.

+ Samsung ARM Linux Overview
+ ==========================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+ The Samsung range of ARM SoCs spans many similar devices, from the initial
+ ARM9 through to the newest ARM cores. This document shows an overview of
+ the current kernel support, how to use it and where to find the code
+ that supports this.
+
+ The currently supported SoCs are:
+
+ - S3C24XX: See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/Overview.txt for full list
+ - S3C64XX: S3C6400 and S3C6410
+ - S5PC6440
+
+ S5PC100 and S5PC110 support is currently being merged
+
+
+S3C24XX Systems
+---------------
+
+ There is still documentation in Documnetation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/ which
+ deals with the architecture and drivers specific to these devices.
+
+ See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/Overview.txt for more information
+ on the implementation details and specific support.
+
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+ A number of configurations are supplied, as there is no current way of
+ unifying all the SoCs into one kernel.
+
+ s5p6440_defconfig - S5P6440 specific default configuration
+ s5pc100_defconfig - S5PC100 specific default configuration
+
+
+Layout
+------
+
+ The directory layout is currently being restructured, and consists of
+ several platform directories and then the machine specific directories
+ of the CPUs being built for.
+
+ plat-samsung provides the base for all the implementations, and is the
+ last in the line of include directories that are processed for the build
+ specific information. It contains the base clock, GPIO and device definitions
+ to get the system running.
+
+ plat-s3c is the s3c24xx/s3c64xx platform directory, although it is currently
+ involved in other builds this will be phased out once the relevant code is
+ moved elsewhere.
+
+ plat-s3c24xx is for s3c24xx specific builds, see the S3C24XX docs.
+
+ plat-s3c64xx is for the s3c64xx specific bits, see the S3C24XX docs.
+
+ plat-s5p is for s5p specific builds, more to be added.

+
+
+Linux provides a number of features that can be used to implement circular
+buffering. There are two sets of such features:
+
+ (1) Convenience functions for determining information about power-of-2 sized
+ buffers.
+
+ (2) Memory barriers for when the producer and the consumer of objects in the
+ buffer don't want to share a lock.
+
+To use these facilities, as discussed below, there needs to be just one
+producer and just one consumer. It is possible to handle multiple producers by
+serialising them, and to handle multiple consumers by serialising them.

+
+
+==========================
+WHAT IS A CIRCULAR BUFFER?
+==========================
+
+First of all, what is a circular buffer? A circular buffer is a buffer of
+fixed, finite size into which there are two indices:
+
+ (1) A 'head' index - the point at which the producer inserts items into the
+ buffer.
+
+ (2) A 'tail' index - the point at which the consumer finds the next item in
+ the buffer.
+
+Typically when the tail pointer is equal to the head pointer, the buffer is
+empty; and the buffer is full when the head pointer is one less than the tail
+pointer.
+
+The head index is incremented when items are added, and the tail index when
+items are removed. The tail index should never jump the head index, and both
+indices should be wrapped to 0 when they reach the end of the buffer, thus
+allowing an infinite amount of data to flow through the buffer.
+
+Typically, items will all be of the same unit size, but this isn't strictly
+required to use the techniques below. The indices can be increased by more
+than 1 if multiple items or variable-sized items are to be included in the
+buffer, provided that neither index overtakes the other. The implementer must
+be careful, however, as a region more than one unit in size may wrap the end of
+the buffer and be broken into two segments.
+
+
+============================
+MEASURING POWER-OF-2 BUFFERS
+============================
+
+Calculation of the occupancy or the remaining capacity of an arbitrarily sized
+circular buffer would normally be a slow operation, requiring the use of a
+modulus (divide) instruction. However, if the buffer is of a power-of-2 size,
+then a much quicker bitwise-AND instruction can be used instead.
+
+Linux provides a set of macros for handling power-of-2 circular buffers. These
+can be made use of by:
+
+ #include <linux/circ_buf.h>
+
+The macros are:
+
+ (*) Measure the remaining capacity of a buffer:
+
+ CIRC_SPACE(head_index, tail_index, buffer_size);
+
+ This returns the amount of space left in the buffer[1] into which items
+ can be inserted.
+
+
+ (*) Measure the maximum consecutive immediate space in a buffer:
+
+ CIRC_SPACE_TO_END(head_index, tail_index, buffer_size);
+
+ This returns the amount of consecutive space left in the buffer[1] into
+ which items can be immediately inserted without having to wrap back to the
+ beginning of the buffer.
+
+
+ (*) Measure the occupancy of a buffer:
+
+ CIRC_CNT(head_index, tail_index, buffer_size);
+
+ This returns the number of items currently occupying a buffer[2].
+
+
+ (*) Measure the non-wrapping occupancy of a buffer:
+
+ CIRC_CNT_TO_END(head_index, tail_index, buffer_size);
+
+ This returns the number of consecutive items[2] that can be extracted from
+ the buffer without having to wrap back to the beginning of the buffer.
+
+
+Each of these macros will nominally return a value between 0 and buffer_size-1,
+however:
+
+ [1] CIRC_SPACE*() are intended to be used in the producer. To the producer
+ they will return a lower bound as the producer controls the head index,
+ but the consumer may still be depleting the buffer on another CPU and
+ moving the tail index.
+
+ To the consumer it will show an upper bound as the producer may be busy
+ depleting the space.
+
+ [2] CIRC_CNT*() are intended to be used in the consumer. To the consumer they
+ will return a lower bound as the consumer controls the tail index, but the
+ producer may still be filling the buffer on another CPU and moving the
+ head index.
+
+ To the producer it will show an upper bound as the consumer may be busy
+ emptying the buffer.
+
+ [3] To a third party, the order in which the writes to the indices by the
+ producer and consumer become visible cannot be guaranteed as they are
+ independent and may be made on different CPUs - so the result in such a
+ situation will merely be a guess, and may even be negative.
+
+
+===========================================
+USING MEMORY BARRIERS WITH CIRCULAR BUFFERS
+===========================================
+
+By using memory barriers in conjunction with circular buffers, you can avoid
+the need to:
+
+ (1) use a single lock to govern access to both ends of the buffer, thus
+ allowing the buffer to be filled and emptied at the same time; and
+
+ (2) use atomic counter operations.
+
+There are two sides to this: the producer that fills the buffer, and the
+consumer that empties it. Only one thing should be filling a buffer at any one
+time, and only one thing should be emptying a buffer at any one time, but the
+two sides can operate simultaneously.
+
+
+THE PRODUCER
+------------
+
+The producer will look something like this:
+
+ spin_lock(&producer_lock);
+
+ unsigned long head = buffer->head;
+ unsigned long tail = ACCESS_ONCE(buffer->tail);
+
+ if (CIRC_SPACE(head, tail, buffer->size) >= 1) {
+ /* insert one item into the buffer */
+ struct item *item = buffer[head];
+
+ produce_item(item);
+
+ smp_wmb(); /* commit the item before incrementing the head */
+
+ buffer->head = (head + 1) & (buffer->size - 1);
+
+ /* wake_up() will make sure that the head is committed before
+ * waking anyone up */
+ wake_up(consumer);
+ }
+
+ spin_unlock(&producer_lock);
+
+This will instruct the CPU that the contents of the new item must be written
+before the head index makes it available to the consumer and then instructs the
+CPU that the revised head index must be written before the consumer is woken.
+
+Note that wake_up() doesn't have to be the exact mechanism used, but whatever
+is used must guarantee a (write) memory barrier between the update of the head
+index and the change of state of the consumer, if a change of state occurs.
+
+
+THE CONSUMER
+------------
+
+The consumer will look something like this:
+
+ spin_lock(&consumer_lock);
+
+ unsigned long head = ACCESS_ONCE(buffer->head);
+ unsigned long tail = buffer->tail;
+
+ if (CIRC_CNT(head, tail, buffer->size) >= 1) {
+ /* read index before reading contents at that index */
+ smp_read_barrier_depends();
+
+ /* extract one item from the buffer */
+ struct item *item = buffer[tail];
+
+ consume_item(item);
+
+ smp_mb(); /* finish reading descriptor before incrementing tail */
+
+ buffer->tail = (tail + 1) & (buffer->size - 1);
+ }
+
+ spin_unlock(&consumer_lock);
+
+This will instruct the CPU to make sure the index is up to date before reading
+the new item, and then it shall make sure the CPU has finished reading the item
+before it writes the new tail pointer, which will erase the item.
+
+
+Note the use of ACCESS_ONCE() in both algorithms to read the opposition index.
+This prevents the compiler from discarding and reloading its cached value -
+which some compilers will do across smp_read_barrier_depends(). This isn't
+strictly needed if you can be sure that the opposition index will _only_ be
+used the once.

+Ceph Distributed File System
+============================
+
+Ceph is a distributed network file system designed to provide good
+performance, reliability, and scalability.
+
+Basic features include:
+
+ * POSIX semantics
+ * Seamless scaling from 1 to many thousands of nodes
+ * High availability and reliability. No single point of failure.
+ * N-way replication of data across storage nodes
+ * Fast recovery from node failures
+ * Automatic rebalancing of data on node addition/removal
+ * Easy deployment: most FS components are userspace daemons
+
+Also,
+ * Flexible snapshots (on any directory)
+ * Recursive accounting (nested files, directories, bytes)
+
+In contrast to cluster filesystems like GFS, OCFS2, and GPFS that rely
+on symmetric access by all clients to shared block devices, Ceph
+separates data and metadata management into independent server
+clusters, similar to Lustre. Unlike Lustre, however, metadata and
+storage nodes run entirely as user space daemons. Storage nodes
+utilize btrfs to store data objects, leveraging its advanced features
+(checksumming, metadata replication, etc.). File data is striped
+across storage nodes in large chunks to distribute workload and
+facilitate high throughputs. When storage nodes fail, data is
+re-replicated in a distributed fashion by the storage nodes themselves
+(with some minimal coordination from a cluster monitor), making the
+system extremely efficient and scalable.
+
+Metadata servers effectively form a large, consistent, distributed
+in-memory cache above the file namespace that is extremely scalable,
+dynamically redistributes metadata in response to workload changes,
+and can tolerate arbitrary (well, non-Byzantine) node failures. The
+metadata server takes a somewhat unconventional approach to metadata
+storage to significantly improve performance for common workloads. In
+particular, inodes with only a single link are embedded in
+directories, allowing entire directories of dentries and inodes to be
+loaded into its cache with a single I/O operation. The contents of
+extremely large directories can be fragmented and managed by
+independent metadata servers, allowing scalable concurrent access.
+
+The system offers automatic data rebalancing/migration when scaling
+from a small cluster of just a few nodes to many hundreds, without
+requiring an administrator carve the data set into static volumes or
+go through the tedious process of migrating data between servers.
+When the file system approaches full, new nodes can be easily added
+and things will "just work."
+
+Ceph includes flexible snapshot mechanism that allows a user to create
+a snapshot on any subdirectory (and its nested contents) in the
+system. Snapshot creation and deletion are as simple as 'mkdir
+.snap/foo' and 'rmdir .snap/foo'.
+
+Ceph also provides some recursive accounting on directories for nested
+files and bytes. That is, a 'getfattr -d foo' on any directory in the
+system will reveal the total number of nested regular files and
+subdirectories, and a summation of all nested file sizes. This makes
+the identification of large disk space consumers relatively quick, as
+no 'du' or similar recursive scan of the file system is required.
+
+
+Mount Syntax
+============
+
+The basic mount syntax is:
+
+ # mount -t ceph monip[:port][,monip2[:port]...]:/[subdir] mnt
+
+You only need to specify a single monitor, as the client will get the
+full list when it connects. (However, if the monitor you specify
+happens to be down, the mount won't succeed.) The port can be left
+off if the monitor is using the default. So if the monitor is at
+1.2.3.4,
+
+ # mount -t ceph 1.2.3.4:/ /mnt/ceph
+
+is sufficient. If /sbin/mount.ceph is installed, a hostname can be
+used instead of an IP address.
+
+
+
+Mount Options
+=============
+
+ ip=A.B.C.D[:N]
+ Specify the IP and/or port the client should bind to locally.
+ There is normally not much reason to do this. If the IP is not
+ specified, the client's IP address is determined by looking at the
+ address its connection to the monitor originates from.
+
+ wsize=X
+ Specify the maximum write size in bytes. By default there is no
+ maximum. Ceph will normally size writes based on the file stripe
+ size.
+
+ rsize=X
+ Specify the maximum readahead.
+
+ mount_timeout=X
+ Specify the timeout value for mount (in seconds), in the case
+ of a non-responsive Ceph file system. The default is 30
+ seconds.
+
+ rbytes
+ When stat() is called on a directory, set st_size to 'rbytes',
+ the summation of file sizes over all files nested beneath that
+ directory. This is the default.
+
+ norbytes
+ When stat() is called on a directory, set st_size to the
+ number of entries in that directory.
+
+ nocrc
+ Disable CRC32C calculation for data writes. If set, the storage node
+ must rely on TCP's error correction to detect data corruption
+ in the data payload.
+
+ noasyncreaddir
+ Disable client's use its local cache to satisfy readdir
+ requests. (This does not change correctness; the client uses
+ cached metadata only when a lease or capability ensures it is
+ valid.)
+

+Introduction
+------------
+CAIF is a MUX protocol used by ST-Ericsson cellular modems for
+communication between Modem and host. The host processes can open virtual AT
+channels, initiate GPRS Data connections, Video channels and Utility Channels.
+The Utility Channels are general purpose pipes between modem and host.
+
+ST-Ericsson modems support a number of transports between modem
+and host. Currently, UART and Loopback are available for Linux.
+
+
+Architecture:
+------------
+The implementation of CAIF is divided into:
+* CAIF Socket Layer, Kernel API, and Net Device.
+* CAIF Core Protocol Implementation
+* CAIF Link Layer, implemented as NET devices.

+
+Using the Kernel API
+----------------------
+The Kernel API is used for accessing CAIF channels from the
+kernel.
+The user of the API has to implement two callbacks for receive
+and control.
+The receive callback gives a CAIF packet as a SKB. The control
+callback will
+notify of channel initialization complete, and flow-on/flow-
+off.

+===========================
+===========================
+
+CAIF Core Protocol Layer
+=========================================
+
+CAIF Core layer implements the CAIF protocol as defined by ST-Ericsson.
+It implements the CAIF protocol stack in a layered approach, where
+each layer described in the specification is implemented as a separate layer.
+The architecture is inspired by the design patterns "Protocol Layer" and
+"Protocol Packet".
+
+== CAIF structure ==
+The Core CAIF implementation contains:
+ - Simple implementation of CAIF.
+ - Layered architecture (a la Streams), each layer in the CAIF
+ specification is implemented in a separate c-file.
+ - Clients must implement PHY layer to access physical HW
+ with receive and transmit functions.
+ - Clients must call configuration function to add PHY layer.
+ - Clients must implement CAIF layer to consume/produce
+ CAIF payload with receive and transmit functions.
+ - Clients must call configuration function to add and connect the
+ Client layer.
+ - When receiving / transmitting CAIF Packets (cfpkt), ownership is passed
+ to the called function (except for framing layers' receive functions
+ or if a transmit function returns an error, in which case the caller
+ must free the packet).
+
+Layered Architecture
+--------------------
+The CAIF protocol can be divided into two parts: Support functions and Protocol
+Implementation. The support functions include:
+
+ - CFPKT CAIF Packet. Implementation of CAIF Protocol Packet. The
+ CAIF Packet has functions for creating, destroying and adding content
+ and for adding/extracting header and trailers to protocol packets.
+
+ - CFLST CAIF list implementation.
+
+ - CFGLUE CAIF Glue. Contains OS Specifics, such as memory
+ allocation, endianness, etc.
+
+The CAIF Protocol implementation contains:
+
+ - CFCNFG CAIF Configuration layer. Configures the CAIF Protocol
+ Stack and provides a Client interface for adding Link-Layer and
+ Driver interfaces on top of the CAIF Stack.
+
+ - CFCTRL CAIF Control layer. Encodes and Decodes control messages
+ such as enumeration and channel setup. Also matches request and
+ response messages.
+
+ - CFSERVL General CAIF Service Layer functionality; handles flow
+ control and remote shutdown requests.
+
+ - CFVEI CAIF VEI layer. Handles CAIF AT Channels on VEI (Virtual
+ External Interface). This layer encodes/decodes VEI frames.
+
+ - CFDGML CAIF Datagram layer. Handles CAIF Datagram layer (IP
+ traffic), encodes/decodes Datagram frames.
+
+ - CFMUX CAIF Mux layer. Handles multiplexing between multiple
+ physical bearers and multiple channels such as VEI, Datagram, etc.
+ The MUX keeps track of the existing CAIF Channels and
+ Physical Instances and selects the apropriate instance based
+ on Channel-Id and Physical-ID.
+
+ - CFFRML CAIF Framing layer. Handles Framing i.e. Frame length
+ and frame checksum.
+
+ - CFSERL CAIF Serial layer. Handles concatenation/split of frames
+ into CAIF Frames with correct length.
+
+
+

+ | AT | | Control | | Datagram|
+ | CFVEIL | | CFCTRL | | CFDGML |

+ | Framing | | Framing |
+ +---------+ +---------+
+ ! !
+ +---------+ +---------+
+ | | | Serial |
+ | | | CFSERL |
+ +---------+ +---------+
+
+
+In this layered approach the following "rules" apply.
+ - All layers embed the same structure "struct cflayer"
+ - A layer does not depend on any other layer's private data.
+ - Layers are stacked by setting the pointers
+ layer->up , layer->dn
+ - In order to send data upwards, each layer should do
+ layer->up->receive(layer->up, packet);
+ - In order to send data downwards, each layer should do
+ layer->dn->transmit(layer->dn, packet);
+
+
+Linux Driver Implementation
+===========================
+
+Linux GPRS Net Device and CAIF socket are implemented on top of the
+CAIF Core protocol. The Net device and CAIF socket have an instance of
+'struct cflayer', just like the CAIF Core protocol stack.
+Net device and Socket implement the 'receive()' function defined by
+'struct cflayer', just like the rest of the CAIF stack. In this way, transmit and
+receive of packets is handled as by the rest of the layers: the 'dn->transmit()'
+function is called in order to transmit data.
+
+The layer on top of the CAIF Core implementation is
+sometimes referred to as the "Client layer".
+
+
+Configuration of Link Layer
+---------------------------
+The Link Layer is implemented as Linux net devices (struct net_device).
+Payload handling and registration is done using standard Linux mechanisms.
+
+The CAIF Protocol relies on a loss-less link layer without implementing
+retransmission. This implies that packet drops must not happen.
+Therefore a flow-control mechanism is implemented where the physical
+interface can initiate flow stop for all CAIF Channels.

+
+=== Start ===
+If you have compiled CAIF for modules do:
+
+$modprobe crc_ccitt
+$modprobe caif
+$modprobe caif_socket
+$modprobe chnl_net
+
+
+=== Preparing the setup with a STE modem ===
+
+If you are working on integration of CAIF you should make sure
+that the kernel is built with module support.
+
+There are some things that need to be tweaked to get the host TTY correctly
+set up to talk to the modem.
+Since the CAIF stack is running in the kernel and we want to use the existing
+TTY, we are installing our physical serial driver as a line discipline above
+the TTY device.
+
+To achieve this we need to install the N_CAIF ldisc from user space.
+The benefit is that we can hook up to any TTY.
+
+The use of Start-of-frame-extension (STX) must also be set as
+module parameter "ser_use_stx".
+
+Normally Frame Checksum is always used on UART, but this is also provided as a
+module parameter "ser_use_fcs".
+
+$ modprobe caif_serial ser_ttyname=/dev/ttyS0 ser_use_stx=yes
+$ ifconfig caif_ttyS0 up
+
+PLEASE NOTE: There is a limitation in Android shell.
+ It only accepts one argument to insmod/modprobe!
+
+=== Trouble shooting ===
+
+There are debugfs parameters provided for serial communication.
+/sys/kernel/debug/caif_serial/<tty-name>/
+
+* ser_state: Prints the bit-mask status where
+ - 0x02 means SENDING, this is a transient state.
+ - 0x10 means FLOW_OFF_SENT, i.e. the previous frame has not been sent
+ and is blocking further send operation. Flow OFF has been propagated
+ to all CAIF Channels using this TTY.
+
+* tty_status: Prints the bit-mask tty status information
+ - 0x01 - tty->warned is on.
+ - 0x02 - tty->low_latency is on.
+ - 0x04 - tty->packed is on.
+ - 0x08 - tty->flow_stopped is on.
+ - 0x10 - tty->hw_stopped is on.
+ - 0x20 - tty->stopped is on.
+
+* last_tx_msg: Binary blob Prints the last transmitted frame.
+ This can be printed with
+ $od --format=x1 /sys/kernel/debug/caif_serial/<tty>/last_rx_msg.
+ The first two tx messages sent look like this. Note: The initial
+ byte 02 is start of frame extension (STX) used for re-syncing
+ upon errors.
+
+ - Enumeration:
+ 0000000 02 05 00 00 03 01 d2 02
+ | | | | | |
+ STX(1) | | | |
+ Length(2)| | |
+ Control Channel(1)
+ Command:Enumeration(1)
+ Link-ID(1)
+ Checksum(2)
+ - Channel Setup:
+ 0000000 02 07 00 00 00 21 a1 00 48 df
+ | | | | | | | |
+ STX(1) | | | | | |
+ Length(2)| | | | |
+ Control Channel(1)
+ Command:Channel Setup(1)
+ Channel Type(1)
+ Priority and Link-ID(1)
+ Endpoint(1)
+ Checksum(2)
+
+* last_rx_msg: Prints the last transmitted frame.
+ The RX messages for LinkSetup look almost identical but they have the
+ bit 0x20 set in the command bit, and Channel Setup has added one byte
+ before Checksum containing Channel ID.
+ NOTE: Several CAIF Messages might be concatenated. The maximum debug
+ buffer size is 128 bytes.
+
+== Error Scenarios:
+- last_tx_msg contains channel setup message and last_rx_msg is empty ->
+ The host seems to be able to send over the UART, at least the CAIF ldisc get
+ notified that sending is completed.
+
+- last_tx_msg contains enumeration message and last_rx_msg is empty ->
+ The host is not able to send the message from UART, the tty has not been
+ able to complete the transmit operation.
+
+- if /sys/kernel/debug/caif_serial/<tty>/tty_status is non-zero there
+ might be problems transmitting over UART.
+ E.g. host and modem wiring is not correct you will typically see
+ tty_status = 0x10 (hw_stopped) and ser_state = 0x10 (FLOW_OFF_SENT).
+ You will probably see the enumeration message in last_tx_message
+ and empty last_rx_message.

+
+History
+=======
+
+The original pppol2tp driver was introduced in 2.6.23 and provided
+L2TPv2 functionality (rfc2661). L2TPv2 is used to tunnel one or more PPP
+sessions over a UDP tunnel.
+
+L2TPv3 (rfc3931) changes the protocol to allow different frame types
+to be passed over an L2TP tunnel by moving the PPP-specific parts of
+the protocol out of the core L2TP packet headers. Each frame type is
+known as a pseudowire type. Ethernet, PPP, HDLC, Frame Relay and ATM
+pseudowires for L2TP are defined in separate RFC standards. Another
+change for L2TPv3 is that it can be carried directly over IP with no
+UDP header (UDP is optional). It is also possible to create static
+unmanaged L2TPv3 tunnels manually without a control protocol
+(userspace daemon) to manage them.
+
+To support L2TPv3, the original pppol2tp driver was split up to
+separate the L2TP and PPP functionality. Existing L2TPv2 userspace
+apps should be unaffected as the original pppol2tp sockets API is
+retained. L2TPv3, however, uses netlink to manage L2TPv3 tunnels and
+sessions.
Design
======
-The PPPoL2TP driver, drivers/net/pppol2tp.c, provides a mechanism by
-which PPP frames carried through an L2TP session are passed through
-the kernel's PPP subsystem. The standard PPP daemon, pppd, handles all
-PPP interaction with the peer. PPP network interfaces are created for
-each local PPP endpoint.
-
-The L2TP protocol http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2661.html defines L2TP
-control and data frames. L2TP control frames carry messages between
-L2TP clients/servers and are used to setup / teardown tunnels and
-sessions. An L2TP client or server is implemented in userspace and
-will use a regular UDP socket per tunnel. L2TP data frames carry PPP
-frames, which may be PPP control or PPP data. The kernel's PPP
+The L2TP protocol separates control and data frames. The L2TP kernel
+drivers handle only L2TP data frames; control frames are always
+handled by userspace. L2TP control frames carry messages between L2TP
+clients/servers and are used to setup / teardown tunnels and
+sessions. An L2TP client or server is implemented in userspace.
+
+Each L2TP tunnel is implemented using a UDP or L2TPIP socket; L2TPIP
+provides L2TPv3 IP encapsulation (no UDP) and is implemented using a
+new l2tpip socket family. The tunnel socket is typically created by
+userspace, though for unmanaged L2TPv3 tunnels, the socket can also be
+created by the kernel. Each L2TP session (pseudowire) gets a network
+interface instance. In the case of PPP, these interfaces are created
+indirectly by pppd using a pppol2tp socket. In the case of ethernet,
+the netdevice is created upon a netlink request to create an L2TPv3
+ethernet pseudowire.
+
+For PPP, the PPPoL2TP driver, net/l2tp/l2tp_ppp.c, provides a
+mechanism by which PPP frames carried through an L2TP session are
+passed through the kernel's PPP subsystem. The standard PPP daemon,
+pppd, handles all PPP interaction with the peer. PPP network
+interfaces are created for each local PPP endpoint. The kernel's PPP
subsystem arranges for PPP control frames to be delivered to pppd,
while data frames are forwarded as usual.
+For ethernet, the L2TPETH driver, net/l2tp/l2tp_eth.c, implements a
+netdevice driver, managing virtual ethernet devices, one per
+pseudowire. These interfaces can be managed using standard Linux tools
+such as "ip" and "ifconfig". If only IP frames are passed over the
+tunnel, the interface can be given an IP addresses of itself and its
+peer. If non-IP frames are to be passed over the tunnel, the interface
+can be added to a bridge using brctl. All L2TP datapath protocol
+functions are handled by the L2TP core driver.
+
Each tunnel and session within a tunnel is assigned a unique tunnel_id
and session_id. These ids are carried in the L2TP header of every
-control and data packet. The pppol2tp driver uses them to lookup
-internal tunnel and/or session contexts. Zero tunnel / session ids are
-treated specially - zero ids are never assigned to tunnels or sessions
-in the network. In the driver, the tunnel context keeps a pointer to
-the tunnel UDP socket. The session context keeps a pointer to the
-PPPoL2TP socket, as well as other data that lets the driver interface
-to the kernel PPP subsystem.
-
-Note that the pppol2tp kernel driver handles only L2TP data frames;
-L2TP control frames are simply passed up to userspace in the UDP
-tunnel socket. The kernel handles all datapath aspects of the
-protocol, including data packet resequencing (if enabled).
-
-There are a number of requirements on the userspace L2TP daemon in

+control and data packet. (Actually, in L2TPv3, the tunnel_id isn't
+present in data frames - it is inferred from the IP connection on
+which the packet was received.) The L2TP driver uses the ids to lookup
+internal tunnel and/or session contexts to determine how to handle the
+packet. Zero tunnel / session ids are treated specially - zero ids are
+never assigned to tunnels or sessions in the network. In the driver,
+the tunnel context keeps a reference to the tunnel UDP or L2TPIP
+socket. The session context holds data that lets the driver interface
+to the kernel's network frame type subsystems, i.e. PPP, ethernet.

+Internal Implementation
+=======================
+
+The driver keeps a struct l2tp_tunnel context per L2TP tunnel and a
+struct l2tp_session context for each session. The l2tp_tunnel is
+always associated with a UDP or L2TP/IP socket and keeps a list of
+sessions in the tunnel. The l2tp_session context keeps kernel state
+about the session. It has private data which is used for data specific
+to the session type. With L2TPv2, the session always carried PPP
+traffic. With L2TPv3, the session can also carry ethernet frames
+(ethernet pseudowire) or other data types such as ATM, HDLC or Frame
+Relay.
+
+When a tunnel is first opened, the reference count on the socket is
+increased using sock_hold(). This ensures that the kernel socket
+cannot be removed while L2TP's data structures reference it.
+
+Some L2TP sessions also have a socket (PPP pseudowires) while others
+do not (ethernet pseudowires). We can't use the socket reference count
+as the reference count for session contexts. The L2TP implementation
+therefore has its own internal reference counts on the session
+contexts.

+ STMicroelectronics 10/100/1000 Synopsys Ethernet driver
+
+Copyright (C) 2007-2010 STMicroelectronics Ltd
+Author: Giuseppe Cavallaro <peppe.cavallaro@st.com>
+
+This is the driver for the MAC 10/100/1000 on-chip Ethernet controllers
+(Synopsys IP blocks); it has been fully tested on STLinux platforms.
+
+Currently this network device driver is for all STM embedded MAC/GMAC
+(7xxx SoCs).
+
+DWC Ether MAC 10/100/1000 Universal version 3.41a and DWC Ether MAC 10/100
+Universal version 4.0 have been used for developing the first code
+implementation.
+
+Please, for more information also visit: www.stlinux.com
+
+1) Kernel Configuration
+The kernel configuration option is STMMAC_ETH:
+ Device Drivers ---> Network device support ---> Ethernet (1000 Mbit) --->
+ STMicroelectronics 10/100/1000 Ethernet driver (STMMAC_ETH)
+
+2) Driver parameters list:
+ debug: message level (0: no output, 16: all);
+ phyaddr: to manually provide the physical address to the PHY device;
+ dma_rxsize: DMA rx ring size;
+ dma_txsize: DMA tx ring size;
+ buf_sz: DMA buffer size;
+ tc: control the HW FIFO threshold;
+ tx_coe: Enable/Disable Tx Checksum Offload engine;
+ watchdog: transmit timeout (in milliseconds);
+ flow_ctrl: Flow control ability [on/off];
+ pause: Flow Control Pause Time;
+ tmrate: timer period (only if timer optimisation is configured).
+
+3) Command line options
+Driver parameters can be also passed in command line by using:
+ stmmaceth=dma_rxsize:128,dma_txsize:512
+
+4) Driver information and notes
+
+4.1) Transmit process
+The xmit method is invoked when the kernel needs to transmit a packet; it sets
+the descriptors in the ring and informs the DMA engine that there is a packet
+ready to be transmitted.
+Once the controller has finished transmitting the packet, an interrupt is
+triggered; So the driver will be able to release the socket buffers.
+By default, the driver sets the NETIF_F_SG bit in the features field of the
+net_device structure enabling the scatter/gather feature.
+
+4.2) Receive process
+When one or more packets are received, an interrupt happens. The interrupts
+are not queued so the driver has to scan all the descriptors in the ring during
+the receive process.
+This is based on NAPI so the interrupt handler signals only if there is work to be
+done, and it exits.
+Then the poll method will be scheduled at some future point.
+The incoming packets are stored, by the DMA, in a list of pre-allocated socket
+buffers in order to avoid the memcpy (Zero-copy).
+
+4.3) Timer-Driver Interrupt
+Instead of having the device that asynchronously notifies the frame receptions, the
+driver configures a timer to generate an interrupt at regular intervals.
+Based on the granularity of the timer, the frames that are received by the device
+will experience different levels of latency. Some NICs have dedicated timer
+device to perform this task. STMMAC can use either the RTC device or the TMU
+channel 2 on STLinux platforms.
+The timers frequency can be passed to the driver as parameter; when change it,
+take care of both hardware capability and network stability/performance impact.
+Several performance tests on STM platforms showed this optimisation allows to spare
+the CPU while having the maximum throughput.
+
+4.4) WOL
+Wake up on Lan feature through Magic Frame is only supported for the GMAC
+core.
+
+4.5) DMA descriptors
+Driver handles both normal and enhanced descriptors. The latter has been only
+tested on DWC Ether MAC 10/100/1000 Universal version 3.41a.
+
+4.6) Ethtool support
+Ethtool is supported. Driver statistics and internal errors can be taken using:
+ethtool -S ethX command. It is possible to dump registers etc.
+
+4.7) Jumbo and Segmentation Offloading
+Jumbo frames are supported and tested for the GMAC.
+The GSO has been also added but it's performed in software.
+LRO is not supported.
+
+4.8) Physical
+The driver is compatible with PAL to work with PHY and GPHY devices.
+
+4.9) Platform information
+Several information came from the platform; please refer to the
+driver's Header file in include/linux directory.

+The padata parallel execution mechanism
+Last updated for 2.6.34
+
+Padata is a mechanism by which the kernel can farm work out to be done in
+parallel on multiple CPUs while retaining the ordering of tasks. It was
+developed for use with the IPsec code, which needs to be able to perform
+encryption and decryption on large numbers of packets without reordering
+those packets. The crypto developers made a point of writing padata in a
+sufficiently general fashion that it could be put to other uses as well.
+
+The first step in using padata is to set up a padata_instance structure for
+overall control of how tasks are to be run:
+
+ #include <linux/padata.h>
+
+ struct padata_instance *padata_alloc(const struct cpumask *cpumask,
+ struct workqueue_struct *wq);
+
+The cpumask describes which processors will be used to execute work
+submitted to this instance. The workqueue wq is where the work will
+actually be done; it should be a multithreaded queue, naturally.
+
+There are functions for enabling and disabling the instance:
+
+ void padata_start(struct padata_instance *pinst);
+ void padata_stop(struct padata_instance *pinst);
+
+These functions literally do nothing beyond setting or clearing the
+"padata_start() was called" flag; if that flag is not set, other functions
+will refuse to work.
+
+The list of CPUs to be used can be adjusted with these functions:
+
+ int padata_set_cpumask(struct padata_instance *pinst,
+ cpumask_var_t cpumask);
+ int padata_add_cpu(struct padata_instance *pinst, int cpu);
+ int padata_remove_cpu(struct padata_instance *pinst, int cpu);
+
+Changing the CPU mask has the look of an expensive operation, though, so it
+probably should not be done with great frequency.
+
+Actually submitting work to the padata instance requires the creation of a
+padata_priv structure:
+
+ struct padata_priv {
+ /* Other stuff here... */
+ void (*parallel)(struct padata_priv *padata);
+ void (*serial)(struct padata_priv *padata);
+ };
+
+This structure will almost certainly be embedded within some larger
+structure specific to the work to be done. Most its fields are private to
+padata, but the structure should be zeroed at initialization time, and the
+parallel() and serial() functions should be provided. Those functions will
+be called in the process of getting the work done as we will see
+momentarily.
+
+The submission of work is done with:
+
+ int padata_do_parallel(struct padata_instance *pinst,
+ struct padata_priv *padata, int cb_cpu);
+
+The pinst and padata structures must be set up as described above; cb_cpu
+specifies which CPU will be used for the final callback when the work is
+done; it must be in the current instance's CPU mask. The return value from
+padata_do_parallel() is a little strange; zero is an error return
+indicating that the caller forgot the padata_start() formalities. -EBUSY
+means that somebody, somewhere else is messing with the instance's CPU
+mask, while -EINVAL is a complaint about cb_cpu not being in that CPU mask.
+If all goes well, this function will return -EINPROGRESS, indicating that
+the work is in progress.
+
+Each task submitted to padata_do_parallel() will, in turn, be passed to
+exactly one call to the above-mentioned parallel() function, on one CPU, so
+true parallelism is achieved by submitting multiple tasks. Despite the
+fact that the workqueue is used to make these calls, parallel() is run with
+software interrupts disabled and thus cannot sleep. The parallel()
+function gets the padata_priv structure pointer as its lone parameter;
+information about the actual work to be done is probably obtained by using
+container_of() to find the enclosing structure.
+
+Note that parallel() has no return value; the padata subsystem assumes that
+parallel() will take responsibility for the task from this point. The work
+need not be completed during this call, but, if parallel() leaves work
+outstanding, it should be prepared to be called again with a new job before
+the previous one completes. When a task does complete, parallel() (or
+whatever function actually finishes the job) should inform padata of the
+fact with a call to:
+
+ void padata_do_serial(struct padata_priv *padata);
+
+At some point in the future, padata_do_serial() will trigger a call to the
+serial() function in the padata_priv structure. That call will happen on
+the CPU requested in the initial call to padata_do_parallel(); it, too, is
+done through the workqueue, but with local software interrupts disabled.
+Note that this call may be deferred for a while since the padata code takes
+pains to ensure that tasks are completed in the order in which they were
+submitted.
+
+The one remaining function in the padata API should be called to clean up
+when a padata instance is no longer needed:
+
+ void padata_free(struct padata_instance *pinst);
+
+This function will busy-wait while any remaining tasks are completed, so it
+might be best not to call it while there is work outstanding. Shutting
+down the workqueue, if necessary, should be done separately.

Interfaces for Entering System Sleep States
===========================================
-Most of the programming interfaces a device driver needs to know about
-relate to that first model: entering a system-wide low power state,
-rather than just minimizing power consumption by one device.
-
-
-Bus Driver Methods
-------------------
-The core methods to suspend and resume devices reside in struct bus_type.
-These are mostly of interest to people writing infrastructure for busses
-like PCI or USB, or because they define the primitives that device drivers
-may need to apply in domain-specific ways to their devices:
-
-struct bus_type {
- ...
- int (*suspend)(struct device *dev, pm_message_t state);
- int (*resume)(struct device *dev);
+There are programming interfaces provided for subsystems (bus type, device type,
+device class) and device drivers to allow them to participate in the power
+management of devices they are concerned with. These interfaces cover both
+system sleep and runtime power management.
+
+
+Device Power Management Operations
+----------------------------------
+Device power management operations, at the subsystem level as well as at the
+device driver level, are implemented by defining and populating objects of type
+struct dev_pm_ops:
+
+struct dev_pm_ops {
+ int (*prepare)(struct device *dev);
+ void (*complete)(struct device *dev);
+ int (*suspend)(struct device *dev);
+ int (*resume)(struct device *dev);
+ int (*freeze)(struct device *dev);
+ int (*thaw)(struct device *dev);
+ int (*poweroff)(struct device *dev);
+ int (*restore)(struct device *dev);
+ int (*suspend_noirq)(struct device *dev);
+ int (*resume_noirq)(struct device *dev);
+ int (*freeze_noirq)(struct device *dev);
+ int (*thaw_noirq)(struct device *dev);
+ int (*poweroff_noirq)(struct device *dev);
+ int (*restore_noirq)(struct device *dev);
+ int (*runtime_suspend)(struct device *dev);
+ int (*runtime_resume)(struct device *dev);
+ int (*runtime_idle)(struct device *dev);
};
-Bus drivers implement those methods as appropriate for the hardware and
-the drivers using it; PCI works differently from USB, and so on. Not many
-people write bus drivers; most driver code is a "device driver" that
-builds on top of bus-specific framework code.
+This structure is defined in include/linux/pm.h and the methods included in it
+are also described in that file. Their roles will be explained in what follows.
+For now, it should be sufficient to remember that the last three methods are
+specific to runtime power management while the remaining ones are used during
+system-wide power transitions.
-For more information on these driver calls, see the description later;
-they are called in phases for every device, respecting the parent-child
-sequencing in the driver model tree. Note that as this is being written,
-only the suspend() and resume() are widely available; not many bus drivers
-leverage all of those phases, or pass them down to lower driver levels.
+There also is a deprecated "old" or "legacy" interface for power management
+operations available at least for some subsystems. This approach does not use
+struct dev_pm_ops objects and it is suitable only for implementing system sleep
+power management methods. Therefore it is not described in this document, so
+please refer directly to the source code for more information about it.
-/sys/devices/.../power/wakeup files
------------------------------------
-All devices in the driver model have two flags to control handling of
-wakeup events, which are hardware signals that can force the device and/or
-system out of a low power state. These are initialized by bus or device
-driver code using device_init_wakeup(dev,can_wakeup).
+Subsystem-Level Methods
+-----------------------
+The core methods to suspend and resume devices reside in struct dev_pm_ops
+pointed to by the pm member of struct bus_type, struct device_type and
+struct class. They are mostly of interest to the people writing infrastructure
+for buses, like PCI or USB, or device type and device class drivers.
-The "can_wakeup" flag just records whether the device (and its driver) can
-physically support wakeup events. When that flag is clear, the sysfs
-"wakeup" file is empty, and device_may_wakeup() returns false.
+Bus drivers implement these methods as appropriate for the hardware and the
+drivers using it; PCI works differently from USB, and so on. Not many people
+write subsystem-level drivers; most driver code is a "device driver" that builds
+on top of bus-specific framework code.
-For devices that can issue wakeup events, a separate flag controls whether
-that device should try to use its wakeup mechanism. The initial value of
-device_may_wakeup() will be true, so that the device's "wakeup" file holds
-the value "enabled". Userspace can change that to "disabled" so that
-device_may_wakeup() returns false; or change it back to "enabled" (so that
-it returns true again).
+For more information on these driver calls, see the description later;
+they are called in phases for every device, respecting the parent-child
+sequencing in the driver model tree.
-EXAMPLE: PCI Device Driver Methods
+/sys/devices/.../power/wakeup files
-----------------------------------
-PCI framework software calls these methods when the PCI device driver bound
-to a device device has provided them:
-
-struct pci_driver {
- ...
- int (*suspend)(struct pci_device *pdev, pm_message_t state);
- int (*suspend_late)(struct pci_device *pdev, pm_message_t state);
+All devices in the driver model have two flags to control handling of wakeup
+events (hardware signals that can force the device and/or system out of a low
+power state). These flags are initialized by bus or device driver code using
+device_set_wakeup_capable() and device_set_wakeup_enable(), defined in
+include/linux/pm_wakeup.h.
- int (*resume_early)(struct pci_device *pdev);
- int (*resume)(struct pci_device *pdev);
-};
-
-Drivers will implement those methods, and call PCI-specific procedures
-like pci_set_power_state(), pci_enable_wake(), pci_save_state(), and
-pci_restore_state() to manage PCI-specific mechanisms. (PCI config space
-could be saved during driver probe, if it weren't for the fact that some
-systems rely on userspace tweaking using setpci.) Devices are suspended
-before their bridges enter low power states, and likewise bridges resume
-before their devices.
-
-
-Upper Layers of Driver Stacks
------------------------------
-Device drivers generally have at least two interfaces, and the methods
-sketched above are the ones which apply to the lower level (nearer PCI, USB,
-or other bus hardware). The network and block layers are examples of upper
-level interfaces, as is a character device talking to userspace.
-
-Power management requests normally need to flow through those upper levels,
-which often use domain-oriented requests like "blank that screen". In
-some cases those upper levels will have power management intelligence that
-relates to end-user activity, or other devices that work in cooperation.
-
-When those interfaces are structured using class interfaces, there is a
-standard way to have the upper layer stop issuing requests to a given
-class device (and restart later):
-
-struct class {
- ...
- int (*suspend)(struct device *dev, pm_message_t state);
- int (*resume)(struct device *dev);
-};
-
-Those calls are issued in specific phases of the process by which the
-system enters a low power "suspend" state, or resumes from it.
-
-
-Calling Drivers to Enter System Sleep States
-============================================
-When the system enters a low power state, each device's driver is asked
-to suspend the device by putting it into state compatible with the target
+The "can_wakeup" flag just records whether the device (and its driver) can
+physically support wakeup events. The device_set_wakeup_capable() routine
+affects this flag. The "should_wakeup" flag controls whether the device should
+try to use its wakeup mechanism. device_set_wakeup_enable() affects this flag;
+for the most part drivers should not change its value. The initial value of
+should_wakeup is supposed to be false for the majority of devices; the major
+exceptions are power buttons, keyboards, and Ethernet adapters whose WoL
+(wake-on-LAN) feature has been set up with ethtool.
+
+Whether or not a device is capable of issuing wakeup events is a hardware
+matter, and the kernel is responsible for keeping track of it. By contrast,
+whether or not a wakeup-capable device should issue wakeup events is a policy
+decision, and it is managed by user space through a sysfs attribute: the
+power/wakeup file. User space can write the strings "enabled" or "disabled" to

+will still affect the should_wakeup flag.)

+The device_may_wakeup() routine returns true only if both flags are set.
+Drivers should check this routine when putting devices in a low-power state

+
+
+/sys/devices/.../power/control files
+------------------------------------
+Each device in the driver model has a flag to control whether it is subject to
+runtime power management. This flag, called runtime_auto, is initialized by the
+bus type (or generally subsystem) code using pm_runtime_allow() or
+pm_runtime_forbid(); the default is to allow runtime power management.
+
+The setting can be adjusted by user space by writing either "on" or "auto" to
+the device's power/control sysfs file. Writing "auto" calls pm_runtime_allow(),
+setting the flag and allowing the device to be runtime power-managed by its
+driver. Writing "on" calls pm_runtime_forbid(), clearing the flag, returning
+the device to full power if it was in a low-power state, and preventing the
+device from being runtime power-managed. User space can check the current value
+of the runtime_auto flag by reading the file.
+
+The device's runtime_auto flag has no effect on the handling of system-wide
+power transitions. In particular, the device can (and in the majority of cases
+should and will) be put into a low-power state during a system-wide transition
+to a sleep state even though its runtime_auto flag is clear.

+System Power Management Phases
+------------------------------
+Suspending or resuming the system is done in several phases. Different phases
+are used for standby or memory sleep states ("suspend-to-RAM") and the
+hibernation state ("suspend-to-disk"). Each phase involves executing callbacks
+for every device before the next phase begins. Not all busses or classes
+support all these callbacks and not all drivers use all the callbacks. The
+various phases always run after tasks have been frozen and before they are
+unfrozen. Furthermore, the *_noirq phases run at a time when IRQ handlers have
+been disabled (except for those marked with the IRQ_WAKEUP flag).
-The phases are seen by driver notifications issued in this order:
+Most phases use bus, type, and class callbacks (that is, methods defined in
+dev->bus->pm, dev->type->pm, and dev->class->pm). The prepare and complete
+phases are exceptions; they use only bus callbacks. When multiple callbacks
+are used in a phase, they are invoked in the order: <class, type, bus> during
+power-down transitions and in the opposite order during power-up transitions.
+For example, during the suspend phase the PM core invokes
- 1 class.suspend(dev, message) is called after tasks are frozen, for
- devices associated with a class that has such a method. This
- method may sleep.
+ dev->class->pm.suspend(dev);
+ dev->type->pm.suspend(dev);

- code out of those drivers).
+before moving on to the next device, whereas during the resume phase the core

- parameters and/or rules.
+ dev->bus->pm.resume(dev);
+ dev->type->pm.resume(dev);
+ dev->class->pm.resume(dev);
- This call should handle parts of device suspend logic that require
- sleeping. It probably does work to quiesce the device which hasn't
- been abstracted into class.suspend().
+These callbacks may in turn invoke device- or driver-specific methods stored in
+dev->driver->pm, but they don't have to.
-The pm_message_t parameter is currently used to refine those semantics

-needed to prepare for the upcoming system sleep state.
+Entering System Suspend
+-----------------------
+When the system goes into the standby or memory sleep state, the phases are:
+
+ prepare, suspend, suspend_noirq.
+
+ 1. The prepare phase is meant to prevent races by preventing new devices
+ from being registered; the PM core would never know that all the
+ children of a device had been suspended if new children could be
+ registered at will. (By contrast, devices may be unregistered at any
+ time.) Unlike the other suspend-related phases, during the prepare
+ phase the device tree is traversed top-down.
+
+ The prepare phase uses only a bus callback. After the callback method
+ returns, no new children may be registered below the device. The method
+ may also prepare the device or driver in some way for the upcoming
+ system power transition, but it should not put the device into a
+ low-power state.
+
+ 2. The suspend methods should quiesce the device to stop it from performing
+ I/O. They also may save the device registers and put it into the
+ appropriate low-power state, depending on the bus type the device is on,
+ and they may enable wakeup events.
+
+ 3. The suspend_noirq phase occurs after IRQ handlers have been disabled,
+ which means that the driver's interrupt handler will not be called while
+ the callback method is running. The methods should save the values of
+ the device's registers that weren't saved previously and finally put the
+ device into the appropriate low-power state.
+
+ The majority of subsystems and device drivers need not implement this
+ callback. However, bus types allowing devices to share interrupt
+ vectors, like PCI, generally need it; otherwise a driver might encounter
+ an error during the suspend phase by fielding a shared interrupt
+ generated by some other device after its own device had been set to low
+ power.
+
+At the end of these phases, drivers should have stopped all I/O transactions
+(DMA, IRQs), saved enough state that they can re-initialize or restore previous
+state (as needed by the hardware), and placed the device into a low-power state.
+On many platforms they will gate off one or more clock sources; sometimes they
+will also switch off power supplies or reduce voltages. (Drivers supporting
+runtime PM may already have performed some or all of these steps.)
+
+If device_may_wakeup(dev) returns true, the device should be prepared for
+generating hardware wakeup signals to trigger a system wakeup event when the
+system is in the sleep state. For example, enable_irq_wake() might identify
+GPIO signals hooked up to a switch or other external hardware, and
+pci_enable_wake() does something similar for the PCI PME signal.
+
+If any of these callbacks returns an error, the system won't enter the desired
+low-power state. Instead the PM core will unwind its actions by resuming all
+the devices that were suspended.
+
+
+Leaving System Suspend
+----------------------
+When resuming from standby or memory sleep, the phases are:
+
+ resume_noirq, resume, complete.
+
+ 1. The resume_noirq callback methods should perform any actions needed
+ before the driver's interrupt handlers are invoked. This generally
+ means undoing the actions of the suspend_noirq phase. If the bus type
+ permits devices to share interrupt vectors, like PCI, the method should
+ bring the device and its driver into a state in which the driver can
+ recognize if the device is the source of incoming interrupts, if any,
+ and handle them correctly.
+
+ For example, the PCI bus type's ->pm.resume_noirq() puts the device into
+ the full-power state (D0 in the PCI terminology) and restores the
+ standard configuration registers of the device. Then it calls the
+ device driver's ->pm.resume_noirq() method to perform device-specific
+ actions.
+
+ 2. The resume methods should bring the the device back to its operating
+ state, so that it can perform normal I/O. This generally involves
+ undoing the actions of the suspend phase.
+
+ 3. The complete phase uses only a bus callback. The method should undo the
+ actions of the prepare phase. Note, however, that new children may be
+ registered below the device as soon as the resume callbacks occur; it's
+ not necessary to wait until the complete phase.
+
+At the end of these phases, drivers should be as functional as they were before
+suspending: I/O can be performed using DMA and IRQs, and the relevant clocks are
+gated on. Even if the device was in a low-power state before the system sleep
+because of runtime power management, afterwards it should be back in its
+full-power state. There are multiple reasons why it's best to do this; they are
+discussed in more detail in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt.
-When any driver sees that its device_can_wakeup(dev), it should make sure
-to use the relevant hardware signals to trigger a system wakeup event.
-For example, enable_irq_wake() might identify GPIO signals hooked up to
-a switch or other external hardware, and pci_enable_wake() does something
-similar for PCI's PME# signal.
+However, the details here may again be platform-specific. For example,
+some systems support multiple "run" states, and the mode in effect at
+the end of resume might not be the one which preceded suspension.
+That means availability of certain clocks or power supplies changed,
+which could easily affect how a driver works.
+
+Drivers need to be able to handle hardware which has been reset since the
+suspend methods were called, for example by complete reinitialization.
+This may be the hardest part, and the one most protected by NDA'd documents
+and chip errata. It's simplest if the hardware state hasn't changed since
+the suspend was carried out, but that can't be guaranteed (in fact, it ususally
+is not the case).
+
+Drivers must also be prepared to notice that the device has been removed
+while the system was powered down, whenever that's physically possible.
+PCMCIA, MMC, USB, Firewire, SCSI, and even IDE are common examples of busses
+where common Linux platforms will see such removal. Details of how drivers
+will notice and handle such removals are currently bus-specific, and often
+involve a separate thread.
+
+These callbacks may return an error value, but the PM core will ignore such
+errors since there's nothing it can do about them other than printing them in
+the system log.
+
+
+Entering Hibernation
+--------------------
+Hibernating the system is more complicated than putting it into the standby or
+memory sleep state, because it involves creating and saving a system image.
+Therefore there are more phases for hibernation, with a different set of
+callbacks. These phases always run after tasks have been frozen and memory has
+been freed.
+
+The general procedure for hibernation is to quiesce all devices (freeze), create
+an image of the system memory while everything is stable, reactivate all
+devices (thaw), write the image to permanent storage, and finally shut down the
+system (poweroff). The phases used to accomplish this are:
+
+ prepare, freeze, freeze_noirq, thaw_noirq, thaw, complete,
+ prepare, poweroff, poweroff_noirq
+
+ 1. The prepare phase is discussed in the "Entering System Suspend" section
+ above.
+
+ 2. The freeze methods should quiesce the device so that it doesn't generate
+ IRQs or DMA, and they may need to save the values of device registers.
+ However the device does not have to be put in a low-power state, and to
+ save time it's best not to do so. Also, the device should not be
+ prepared to generate wakeup events.
+
+ 3. The freeze_noirq phase is analogous to the suspend_noirq phase discussed
+ above, except again that the device should not be put in a low-power
+ state and should not be allowed to generate wakeup events.
+
+At this point the system image is created. All devices should be inactive and
+the contents of memory should remain undisturbed while this happens, so that the
+image forms an atomic snapshot of the system state.
+
+ 4. The thaw_noirq phase is analogous to the resume_noirq phase discussed
+ above. The main difference is that its methods can assume the device is
+ in the same state as at the end of the freeze_noirq phase.
+
+ 5. The thaw phase is analogous to the resume phase discussed above. Its
+ methods should bring the device back to an operating state, so that it
+ can be used for saving the image if necessary.
+
+ 6. The complete phase is discussed in the "Leaving System Suspend" section
+ above.
+
+At this point the system image is saved, and the devices then need to be
+prepared for the upcoming system shutdown. This is much like suspending them
+before putting the system into the standby or memory sleep state, and the phases
+are similar.
+
+ 7. The prepare phase is discussed above.
+
+ 8. The poweroff phase is analogous to the suspend phase.
+
+ 9. The poweroff_noirq phase is analogous to the suspend_noirq phase.
+
+The poweroff and poweroff_noirq callbacks should do essentially the same things
+as the suspend and suspend_noirq callbacks. The only notable difference is that
+they need not store the device register values, because the registers should
+already have been stored during the freeze or freeze_noirq phases.
+
+
+Leaving Hibernation
+-------------------
+Resuming from hibernation is, again, more complicated than resuming from a sleep
+state in which the contents of main memory are preserved, because it requires
+a system image to be loaded into memory and the pre-hibernation memory contents
+to be restored before control can be passed back to the image kernel.
+
+Although in principle, the image might be loaded into memory and the
+pre-hibernation memory contents restored by the boot loader, in practice this
+can't be done because boot loaders aren't smart enough and there is no
+established protocol for passing the necessary information. So instead, the
+boot loader loads a fresh instance of the kernel, called the boot kernel, into
+memory and passes control to it in the usual way. Then the boot kernel reads
+the system image, restores the pre-hibernation memory contents, and passes
+control to the image kernel. Thus two different kernels are involved in
+resuming from hibernation. In fact, the boot kernel may be completely different
+from the image kernel: a different configuration and even a different version.
+This has important consequences for device drivers and their subsystems.
+
+To be able to load the system image into memory, the boot kernel needs to
+include at least a subset of device drivers allowing it to access the storage
+medium containing the image, although it doesn't need to include all of the
+drivers present in the image kernel. After the image has been loaded, the
+devices managed by the boot kernel need to be prepared for passing control back
+to the image kernel. This is very similar to the initial steps involved in
+creating a system image, and it is accomplished in the same way, using prepare,
+freeze, and freeze_noirq phases. However the devices affected by these phases
+are only those having drivers in the boot kernel; other devices will still be in
+whatever state the boot loader left them.
+
+Should the restoration of the pre-hibernation memory contents fail, the boot
+kernel would go through the "thawing" procedure described above, using the
+thaw_noirq, thaw, and complete phases, and then continue running normally. This
+happens only rarely. Most often the pre-hibernation memory contents are
+restored successfully and control is passed to the image kernel, which then
+becomes responsible for bringing the system back to the working state.
+
+To achieve this, the image kernel must restore the devices' pre-hibernation
+functionality. The operation is much like waking up from the memory sleep
+state, although it involves different phases:
+
+ restore_noirq, restore, complete
+
+ 1. The restore_noirq phase is analogous to the resume_noirq phase.
+
+ 2. The restore phase is analogous to the resume phase.
+
+ 3. The complete phase is discussed above.
+
+The main difference from resume[_noirq] is that restore[_noirq] must assume the
+device has been accessed and reconfigured by the boot loader or the boot kernel.
+Consequently the state of the device may be different from the state remembered
+from the freeze and freeze_noirq phases. The device may even need to be reset
+and completely re-initialized. In many cases this difference doesn't matter, so
+the resume[_noirq] and restore[_norq] method pointers can be set to the same
+routines. Nevertheless, different callback pointers are used in case there is a
+situation where it actually matters.
-If a driver (or bus, or class) fails it suspend method, the system won't
-enter the desired low power state; it will resume all the devices it's
-suspended so far.

+devices, and also with interrupts disabled. These things occur in special

+
+Thus, after the suspend_noirq (or freeze_noirq or poweroff_noirq) phase, when
+the non-boot CPUs are all offline and IRQs are disabled on the remaining online
+CPU, then a sysdev_driver.suspend phase is carried out, and the system enters a
+sleep state (or a system image is created). During resume (or after the image
+has been created or loaded) a sysdev_driver.resume phase is carried out, IRQs
+are enabled on the only online CPU, the non-boot CPUs are enabled, and the

+Power Management Notifiers
+--------------------------

-Examples: USB hosts, system timer, system CPU
-----------------------------------------------
-USB host controllers make interesting, if complex, examples. In many cases
-these have no work to do: no USB devices are connected, or all of them are
-in the USB "suspend" state. Linux host controller drivers can then disable
-periodic DMA transfers that would otherwise be a constant power drain on the
-memory subsystem, and enter a suspend state. In power-aware controllers,
-entering that suspend state may disable the clock used with USB signaling,
-saving a certain amount of power.
-
-The controller will be woken from that state (with an IRQ) by changes to the
-signal state on the data lines of a given port, for example by an existing
-peripheral requesting "remote wakeup" or by plugging a new peripheral. The
-same wakeup mechanism usually works from "standby" sleep states, and on some
-systems also from "suspend to RAM" (or even "suspend to disk") states.
-(Except that ACPI may be involved instead of normal IRQs, on some hardware.)
-
-System devices like timers and CPUs may have special roles in the platform
-power management scheme. For example, system timers using a "dynamic tick"
-approach don't just save CPU cycles (by eliminating needless timer IRQs),
-but they may also open the door to using lower power CPU "idle" states that
-cost more than a jiffie to enter and exit. On x86 systems these are states
-like "C3"; note that periodic DMA transfers from a USB host controller will
-also prevent entry to a C3 state, much like a periodic timer IRQ.
-
-That kind of runtime mechanism interaction is common. "System On Chip" (SOC)
-processors often have low power idle modes that can't be entered unless
-certain medium-speed clocks (often 12 or 48 MHz) are gated off. When the
-drivers gate those clocks effectively, then the system idle task may be able
-to use the lower power idle modes and thereby increase battery life.
-
-If the CPU can have a "cpufreq" driver, there also may be opportunities
-to shift to lower voltage settings and reduce the power cost of executing
-a given number of instructions. (Without voltage adjustment, it's rare
-for cpufreq to save much power; the cost-per-instruction must go down.)
+A system-wide power transition can be started while some devices are in low
+power states due to runtime power management. The system sleep PM callbacks
+should recognize such situations and react to them appropriately, but the
+necessary actions are subsystem-specific.
+
+In some cases the decision may be made at the subsystem level while in other
+cases the device driver may be left to decide. In some cases it may be
+desirable to leave a suspended device in that state during a system-wide power
+transition, but in other cases the device must be put back into the full-power
+state temporarily, for example so that its system wakeup capability can be
+disabled. This all depends on the hardware and the design of the subsystem and
+device driver in question.
+
+During system-wide resume from a sleep state it's best to put devices into the
+full-power state, as explained in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt. Refer to
+that document for more information regarding this particular issue as well as
+for information on the device runtime power management framework in general.

+Support for Augmented rbtrees
+-----------------------------
+
+Augmented rbtree is an rbtree with "some" additional data stored in each node.
+This data can be used to augment some new functionality to rbtree.
+Augmented rbtree is an optional feature built on top of basic rbtree
+infrastructure. rbtree user who wants this feature will have an augment
+callback function in rb_root initialized.
+
+This callback function will be called from rbtree core routines whenever
+a node has a change in one or both of its children. It is the responsibility
+of the callback function to recalculate the additional data that is in the
+rb node using new children information. Note that if this new additional
+data affects the parent node's additional data, then callback function has
+to handle it and do the recursive updates.
+
+
+Interval tree is an example of augmented rb tree. Reference -
+"Introduction to Algorithms" by Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest and Stein.
+More details about interval trees:
+
+Classical rbtree has a single key and it cannot be directly used to store
+interval ranges like [lo:hi] and do a quick lookup for any overlap with a new
+lo:hi or to find whether there is an exact match for a new lo:hi.
+
+However, rbtree can be augmented to store such interval ranges in a structured
+way making it possible to do efficient lookup and exact match.
+
+This "extra information" stored in each node is the maximum hi
+(max_hi) value among all the nodes that are its descendents. This
+information can be maintained at each node just be looking at the node
+and its immediate children. And this will be used in O(log n) lookup
+for lowest match (lowest start address among all possible matches)
+with something like:
+
+find_lowest_match(lo, hi, node)
+{
+ lowest_match = NULL;
+ while (node) {
+ if (max_hi(node->left) > lo) {
+ // Lowest overlap if any must be on left side
+ node = node->left;
+ } else if (overlap(lo, hi, node)) {
+ lowest_match = node;

+ } else if (lo > node->lo) {
+ // Lowest overlap if any must be on right side
+ node = node->right;
+ } else {
+ break;
+ }
+ }
+ return lowest_match;
+}
+
+Finding exact match will be to first find lowest match and then to follow
+successor nodes looking for exact match, until the start of a node is beyond
+the hi value we are looking for.

+
+The following commands are supported:

+
+ echo 'write*:mod:ext3' > set_ftrace_filter
+

+- traceon/traceoff

+ is hit the first 5 times, run:
+
+ echo '__schedule_bug:traceoff:5' > set_ftrace_filter

+Background
+==========
+
+Bulk endpoint streams were added in the USB 3.0 specification. Streams allow a
+device driver to overload a bulk endpoint so that multiple transfers can be
+queued at once.
+
+Streams are defined in sections 4.4.6.4 and 8.12.1.4 of the Universal Serial Bus
+3.0 specification at http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/ The USB Attached SCSI
+Protocol, which uses streams to queue multiple SCSI commands, can be found on
+the T10 website (http://t10.org/).
+
+
+Device-side implications
+========================
+
+Once a buffer has been queued to a stream ring, the device is notified (through
+an out-of-band mechanism on another endpoint) that data is ready for that stream
+ID. The device then tells the host which "stream" it wants to start. The host
+can also initiate a transfer on a stream without the device asking, but the
+device can refuse that transfer. Devices can switch between streams at any
+time.
+
+
+Driver implications
+===================
+
+int usb_alloc_streams(struct usb_interface *interface,
+ struct usb_host_endpoint **eps, unsigned int num_eps,
+ unsigned int num_streams, gfp_t mem_flags);
+
+Device drivers will call this API to request that the host controller driver
+allocate memory so the driver can use up to num_streams stream IDs. They must
+pass an array of usb_host_endpoints that need to be setup with similar stream
+IDs. This is to ensure that a UASP driver will be able to use the same stream
+ID for the bulk IN and OUT endpoints used in a Bi-directional command sequence.
+
+The return value is an error condition (if one of the endpoints doesn't support
+streams, or the xHCI driver ran out of memory), or the number of streams the
+host controller allocated for this endpoint. The xHCI host controller hardware
+declares how many stream IDs it can support, and each bulk endpoint on a
+SuperSpeed device will say how many stream IDs it can handle. Therefore,
+drivers should be able to deal with being allocated less stream IDs than they
+requested.
+
+Do NOT call this function if you have URBs enqueued for any of the endpoints
+passed in as arguments. Do not call this function to request less than two
+streams.
+
+Drivers will only be allowed to call this API once for the same endpoint
+without calling usb_free_streams(). This is a simplification for the xHCI host
+controller driver, and may change in the future.
+
+
+Picking new Stream IDs to use
+============================
+
+Stream ID 0 is reserved, and should not be used to communicate with devices. If
+usb_alloc_streams() returns with a value of N, you may use streams 1 though N.
+To queue an URB for a specific stream, set the urb->stream_id value. If the
+endpoint does not support streams, an error will be returned.
+
+Note that new API to choose the next stream ID will have to be added if the xHCI
+driver supports secondary stream IDs.
+
+
+Clean up
+========
+
+If a driver wishes to stop using streams to communicate with the device, it
+should call
+
+void usb_free_streams(struct usb_interface *interface,
+ struct usb_host_endpoint **eps, unsigned int num_eps,

+ Linux USB HID gadget driver
+
+Introduction
+
+ The HID Gadget driver provides emulation of USB Human Interface
+ Devices (HID). The basic HID handling is done in the kernel,
+ and HID reports can be sent/received through I/O on the
+ /dev/hidgX character devices.
+
+ For more details about HID, see the developer page on
+ http://www.usb.org/developers/hidpage/
+
+Configuration
+
+ g_hid is a platform driver, so to use it you need to add
+ struct platform_device(s) to your platform code defining the
+ HID function descriptors you want to use - E.G. something
+ like:
+
+#include <linux/platform_device.h>
+#include <linux/usb/g_hid.h>
+
+/* hid descriptor for a keyboard */
+static struct hidg_func_descriptor my_hid_data = {
+ .subclass = 0, /* No subclass */
+ .protocol = 1, /* Keyboard */
+ .report_length = 8,
+ .report_desc_length = 63,
+ .report_desc = {

+ 0x81, 0x00, /* INPUT (Data,Ary,Abs) */
+ 0xc0 /* END_COLLECTION */
+ }
+};
+
+static struct platform_device my_hid = {
+ .name = "hidg",
+ .id = 0,
+ .num_resources = 0,
+ .resource = 0,
+ .dev.platform_data = &my_hid_data,
+};
+
+ You can add as many HID functions as you want, only limited by
+ the amount of interrupt endpoints your gadget driver supports.
+
+Send and receive HID reports
+
+ HID reports can be sent/received using read/write on the
+ /dev/hidgX character devices. See below for an example program
+ to do this.
+
+ hid_gadget_test is a small interactive program to test the HID
+ gadget driver. To use, point it at a hidg device and set the
+ device type (keyboard / mouse / joystick) - E.G.:
+
+ # hid_gadget_test /dev/hidg0 keyboard
+
+ You are now in the prompt of hid_gadget_test. You can type any
+ combination of options and values. Available options and
+ values are listed at program start. In keyboard mode you can
+ send up to six values.
+
+ For example type: g i s t r --left-shift
+
+ Hit return and the corresponding report will be sent by the
+ HID gadget.
+
+ Another interesting example is the caps lock test. Type
+ -–caps-lock and hit return. A report is then sent by the
+ gadget and you should receive the host answer, corresponding
+ to the caps lock LED status.
+
+ --caps-lock
+ recv report:2
+
+ With this command:
+
+ # hid_gadget_test /dev/hidg1 mouse
+
+ You can test the mouse emulation. Values are two signed numbers.

+struct v4l2_fh
+--------------
+
+struct v4l2_fh provides a way to easily keep file handle specific data
+that is used by the V4L2 framework. Using v4l2_fh is optional for
+drivers.
+
+The users of v4l2_fh (in the V4L2 framework, not the driver) know
+whether a driver uses v4l2_fh as its file->private_data pointer by
+testing the V4L2_FL_USES_V4L2_FH bit in video_device->flags.
+
+Useful functions:
+
+- v4l2_fh_init()
+
+ Initialise the file handle. This *MUST* be performed in the driver's
+ v4l2_file_operations->open() handler.
+
+- v4l2_fh_add()
+
+ Add a v4l2_fh to video_device file handle list. May be called after
+ initialising the file handle.
+
+- v4l2_fh_del()
+
+ Unassociate the file handle from video_device(). The file handle
+ exit function may now be called.
+
+- v4l2_fh_exit()
+
+ Uninitialise the file handle. After uninitialisation the v4l2_fh
+ memory can be freed.
+
+struct v4l2_fh is allocated as a part of the driver's own file handle
+structure and is set to file->private_data in the driver's open
+function by the driver. Drivers can extract their own file handle
+structure by using the container_of macro. Example:
+
+struct my_fh {
+ int blah;
+ struct v4l2_fh fh;
+};
+
+...
+
+int my_open(struct file *file)
+{
+ struct my_fh *my_fh;
+ struct video_device *vfd;
+ int ret;
+
+ ...
+
+ ret = v4l2_fh_init(&my_fh->fh, vfd);
+ if (ret)
+ return ret;
+
+ v4l2_fh_add(&my_fh->fh);
+
+ file->private_data = &my_fh->fh;
+
+ ...
+}
+
+int my_release(struct file *file)
+{
+ struct v4l2_fh *fh = file->private_data;
+ struct my_fh *my_fh = container_of(fh, struct my_fh, fh);
+
+ ...
+}
+
+V4L2 events
+-----------
+
+The V4L2 events provide a generic way to pass events to user space.
+The driver must use v4l2_fh to be able to support V4L2 events.
+
+Useful functions:
+
+- v4l2_event_alloc()
+
+ To use events, the driver must allocate events for the file handle. By
+ calling the function more than once, the driver may assure that at least n
+ events in total have been allocated. The function may not be called in
+ atomic context.
+
+- v4l2_event_queue()
+
+ Queue events to video device. The driver's only responsibility is to fill
+ in the type and the data fields. The other fields will be filled in by
+ V4L2.
+
+- v4l2_event_subscribe()
+
+ The video_device->ioctl_ops->vidioc_subscribe_event must check the driver
+ is able to produce events with specified event id. Then it calls
+ v4l2_event_subscribe() to subscribe the event.
+
+- v4l2_event_unsubscribe()
+
+ vidioc_unsubscribe_event in struct v4l2_ioctl_ops. A driver may use
+ v4l2_event_unsubscribe() directly unless it wants to be involved in
+ unsubscription process.
+
+ The special type V4L2_EVENT_ALL may be used to unsubscribe all events. The
+ drivers may want to handle this in a special way.
+
+- v4l2_event_pending()
+
+ Returns the number of pending events. Useful when implementing poll.
+
+Drivers do not initialise events directly. The events are initialised
+through v4l2_fh_init() if video_device->ioctl_ops->vidioc_subscribe_event is
+non-NULL. This *MUST* be performed in the driver's
+v4l2_file_operations->open() handler.
+
+Events are delivered to user space through the poll system call. The driver
+can use v4l2_fh->events->wait wait_queue_head_t as the argument for
+poll_wait().
+
+There are standard and private events. New standard events must use the
+smallest available event type. The drivers must allocate their events from
+their own class starting from class base. Class base is
+V4L2_EVENT_PRIVATE_START + n * 1000 where n is the lowest available number.
+The first event type in the class is reserved for future use, so the first
+available event type is 'class base + 1'.
+
+An example on how the V4L2 events may be used can be found in the OMAP
+3 ISP driver available at <URL:http://gitorious.org/omap3camera> as of
+writing this.

-Running Linux on the Voyager Architecture
-=========================================
-
-For full details and current project status, see
-
-http://www.hansenpartnership.com/voyager
-
-The voyager architecture was designed by NCR in the mid 80s to be a
-fully SMP capable RAS computing architecture built around intel's 486
-chip set. The voyager came in three levels of architectural
-sophistication: 3,4 and 5 --- 1 and 2 never made it out of prototype.
-The linux patches support only the Level 5 voyager architecture (any
-machine class 3435 and above).
-
-The Voyager Architecture
-------------------------
-
-Voyager machines consist of a Baseboard with a 386 diagnostic
-processor, a Power Supply Interface (PSI) a Primary and possibly
-Secondary Microchannel bus and between 2 and 20 voyager slots. The
-voyager slots can be populated with memory and cpu cards (up to 4GB
-memory and from 1 486 to 32 Pentium Pro processors). Internally, the
-voyager has a dual arbitrated system bus and a configuration and test
-bus (CAT). The voyager bus speed is 40MHz. Therefore (since all
-voyager cards are dual ported for each system bus) the maximum
-transfer rate is 320Mb/s but only if you have your slot configuration
-tuned (only memory cards can communicate with both busses at once, CPU
-cards utilise them one at a time).
-
-Voyager SMP
------------
-
-Since voyager was the first intel based SMP system, it is slightly
-more primitive than the Intel IO-APIC approach to SMP. Voyager allows
-arbitrary interrupt routing (including processor affinity routing) of
-all 16 PC type interrupts. However it does this by using a modified
-5259 master/slave chip set instead of an APIC bus. Additionally,
-voyager supports Cross Processor Interrupts (CPI) equivalent to the
-APIC IPIs. There are two routed voyager interrupt lines provided to
-each slot.
-
-Processor Cards
----------------
-
-These come in single, dyadic and quad configurations (the quads are
-problematic--see later). The maximum configuration is 8 quad cards
-for 32 way SMP.
-
-Quad Processors
----------------
-
-Because voyager only supplies two interrupt lines to each Processor
-card, the Quad processors have to be configured (and Bootstrapped) in
-as a pair of Master/Slave processors.
-
-In fact, most Quad cards only accept one VIC interrupt line, so they
-have one interrupt handling processor (called the VIC extended
-processor) and three non-interrupt handling processors.
-
-Current Status
---------------
-
-The System will boot on Mono, Dyad and Quad cards. There was
-originally a Quad boot problem which has been fixed by proper gdt
-alignment in the initial boot loader. If you still cannot get your
-voyager system to boot, email me at:
-
-<J.E.J.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>
-
-
-The Quad cards now support using the separate Quad CPI vectors instead
-of going through the VIC mailbox system.
-
-The Level 4 architecture (3430 and 3360 Machines) should also work
-fine.
-
-Dump Switch
------------
-
-The voyager dump switch sends out a broadcast NMI which the voyager
-code intercepts and does a task dump.
-
-Power Switch
-------------
-
-The front panel power switch is intercepted by the kernel and should
-cause a system shutdown and power off.
-
-A Note About Mixed CPU Systems
-------------------------------
-
-Linux isn't designed to handle mixed CPU systems very well. In order
-to get everything going you *must* make sure that your lowest
-capability CPU is used for booting. Also, mixing CPU classes
-(e.g. 486 and 586) is really not going to work very well at all.
