+

+What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/pattern
+Date: September 2018
+KernelVersion: 4.20
+Description:
+ Specify a software pattern for the LED, that supports altering
+ the brightness for the specified duration with one software
+ timer. It can do gradual dimming and step change of brightness.
+
+ The pattern is given by a series of tuples, of brightness and
+ duration (ms). The LED is expected to traverse the series and
+ each brightness value for the specified duration. Duration of
+ 0 means brightness should immediately change to new value, and
+ writing malformed pattern deactivates any active one.
+
+ 1. For gradual dimming, the dimming interval now is set as 50
+ milliseconds. So the tuple with duration less than dimming
+ interval (50ms) is treated as a step change of brightness,
+ i.e. the subsequent brightness will be applied without adding
+ intervening dimming intervals.
+
+ The gradual dimming format of the software pattern values should be:
+ "brightness_1 duration_1 brightness_2 duration_2 brightness_3
+ duration_3 ...". For example:
+
+ echo 0 1000 255 2000 > pattern
+
+ It will make the LED go gradually from zero-intensity to max (255)
+ intensity in 1000 milliseconds, then back to zero intensity in 2000
+ milliseconds:
+
+ LED brightness
+ ^
+ 255-| / \ / \ /
+ | / \ / \ /
+ | / \ / \ /
+ | / \ / \ /
+ 0-| / \/ \/
+ +---0----1----2----3----4----5----6------------> time (s)
+
+ 2. To make the LED go instantly from one brigntess value to another,
+ we should use use zero-time lengths (the brightness must be same as
+ the previous tuple's). So the format should be:
+ "brightness_1 duration_1 brightness_1 0 brightness_2 duration_2
+ brightness_2 0 ...". For example:
+
+ echo 0 1000 0 0 255 2000 255 0 > pattern
+
+ It will make the LED stay off for one second, then stay at max brightness
+ for two seconds:
+
+ LED brightness
+ ^
+ 255-| +---------+ +---------+

+========================
+ext4 General Information
+========================
+
+Ext4 is an advanced level of the ext3 filesystem which incorporates
+scalability and reliability enhancements for supporting large filesystems
+(64 bit) in keeping with increasing disk capacities and state-of-the-art
+feature requirements.
+
+Mailing list: linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org
+Web site: http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org
+
+
+Quick usage instructions
+========================
+
+Note: More extensive information for getting started with ext4 can be
+found at the ext4 wiki site at the URL:
+http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto
+
+ - The latest version of e2fsprogs can be found at:
+
+ https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tytso/e2fsprogs/
+
+ or
+
+ http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2406
+
+ or grab the latest git repository from:
+
+ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git
+
+ - Create a new filesystem using the ext4 filesystem type:
+
+ # mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/hda1
+
+ Or to configure an existing ext3 filesystem to support extents:
+
+ # tune2fs -O extents /dev/hda1
+
+ If the filesystem was created with 128 byte inodes, it can be
+ converted to use 256 byte for greater efficiency via:
+
+ # tune2fs -I 256 /dev/hda1
+
+ - Mounting:
+
+ # mount -t ext4 /dev/hda1 /wherever
+
+ - When comparing performance with other filesystems, it's always
+ important to try multiple workloads; very often a subtle change in a
+ workload parameter can completely change the ranking of which
+ filesystems do well compared to others. When comparing versus ext3,
+ note that ext4 enables write barriers by default, while ext3 does
+ not enable write barriers by default. So it is useful to use
+ explicitly specify whether barriers are enabled or not when via the
+ '-o barriers=[0|1]' mount option for both ext3 and ext4 filesystems
+ for a fair comparison. When tuning ext3 for best benchmark numbers,
+ it is often worthwhile to try changing the data journaling mode; '-o
+ data=writeback' can be faster for some workloads. (Note however that
+ running mounted with data=writeback can potentially leave stale data
+ exposed in recently written files in case of an unclean shutdown,
+ which could be a security exposure in some situations.) Configuring
+ the filesystem with a large journal can also be helpful for
+ metadata-intensive workloads.
+
+Features
+========
+
+Currently Available
+-------------------
+
+* ability to use filesystems > 16TB (e2fsprogs support not available yet)
+* extent format reduces metadata overhead (RAM, IO for access, transactions)
+* extent format more robust in face of on-disk corruption due to magics,
+* internal redundancy in tree
+* improved file allocation (multi-block alloc)
+* lift 32000 subdirectory limit imposed by i_links_count[1]
+* nsec timestamps for mtime, atime, ctime, create time
+* inode version field on disk (NFSv4, Lustre)
+* reduced e2fsck time via uninit_bg feature
+* journal checksumming for robustness, performance
+* persistent file preallocation (e.g for streaming media, databases)
+* ability to pack bitmaps and inode tables into larger virtual groups via the
+ flex_bg feature
+* large file support
+* inode allocation using large virtual block groups via flex_bg
+* delayed allocation
+* large block (up to pagesize) support
+* efficient new ordered mode in JBD2 and ext4 (avoid using buffer head to force
+ the ordering)
+
+[1] Filesystems with a block size of 1k may see a limit imposed by the
+directory hash tree having a maximum depth of two.
+
+Options
+=======
+
+When mounting an ext4 filesystem, the following option are accepted:
+(*) == default
+
+ ro
+ Mount filesystem read only. Note that ext4 will replay the journal (and
+ thus write to the partition) even when mounted "read only". The mount
+ options "ro,noload" can be used to prevent writes to the filesystem.
+
+ journal_checksum
+ Enable checksumming of the journal transactions. This will allow the
+ recovery code in e2fsck and the kernel to detect corruption in the
+ kernel. It is a compatible change and will be ignored by older
+ kernels.
+
+ journal_async_commit
+ Commit block can be written to disk without waiting for descriptor
+ blocks. If enabled older kernels cannot mount the device. This will
+ enable 'journal_checksum' internally.
+
+ journal_path=path, journal_dev=devnum
+ When the external journal device's major/minor numbers have changed,
+ these options allow the user to specify the new journal location. The
+ journal device is identified through either its new major/minor numbers
+ encoded in devnum, or via a path to the device.
+
+ norecovery, noload
+ Don't load the journal on mounting. Note that if the filesystem was
+ not unmounted cleanly, skipping the journal replay will lead to the
+ filesystem containing inconsistencies that can lead to any number of
+ problems.
+
+ data=journal
+ All data are committed into the journal prior to being written into the
+ main file system. Enabling this mode will disable delayed allocation
+ and O_DIRECT support.
+
+ data=ordered (*)
+ All data are forced directly out to the main file system prior to its
+ metadata being committed to the journal.
+
+ data=writeback
+ Data ordering is not preserved, data may be written into the main file
+ system after its metadata has been committed to the journal.
+
+ commit=nrsec (*)
+ Ext4 can be told to sync all its data and metadata every 'nrsec'
+ seconds. The default value is 5 seconds. This means that if you lose
+ your power, you will lose as much as the latest 5 seconds of work (your
+ filesystem will not be damaged though, thanks to the journaling). This
+ default value (or any low value) will hurt performance, but it's good
+ for data-safety. Setting it to 0 will have the same effect as leaving
+ it at the default (5 seconds). Setting it to very large values will
+ improve performance.
+
+ barrier=<0|1(*)>, barrier(*), nobarrier
+ This enables/disables the use of write barriers in the jbd code.
+ barrier=0 disables, barrier=1 enables. This also requires an IO stack
+ which can support barriers, and if jbd gets an error on a barrier
+ write, it will disable again with a warning. Write barriers enforce
+ proper on-disk ordering of journal commits, making volatile disk write
+ caches safe to use, at some performance penalty. If your disks are
+ battery-backed in one way or another, disabling barriers may safely
+ improve performance. The mount options "barrier" and "nobarrier" can
+ also be used to enable or disable barriers, for consistency with other
+ ext4 mount options.
+
+ inode_readahead_blks=n
+ This tuning parameter controls the maximum number of inode table blocks
+ that ext4's inode table readahead algorithm will pre-read into the
+ buffer cache. The default value is 32 blocks.
+
+ nouser_xattr
+ Disables Extended User Attributes. See the attr(5) manual page for
+ more information about extended attributes.
+
+ noacl
+ This option disables POSIX Access Control List support. If ACL support
+ is enabled in the kernel configuration (CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL), ACL
+ is enabled by default on mount. See the acl(5) manual page for more
+ information about acl.
+
+ bsddf (*)
+ Make 'df' act like BSD.
+
+ minixdf
+ Make 'df' act like Minix.
+
+ debug
+ Extra debugging information is sent to syslog.
+
+ abort
+ Simulate the effects of calling ext4_abort() for debugging purposes.
+ This is normally used while remounting a filesystem which is already
+ mounted.
+
+ errors=remount-ro
+ Remount the filesystem read-only on an error.
+
+ errors=continue
+ Keep going on a filesystem error.
+
+ errors=panic
+ Panic and halt the machine if an error occurs. (These mount options
+ override the errors behavior specified in the superblock, which can be
+ configured using tune2fs)
+
+ data_err=ignore(*)
+ Just print an error message if an error occurs in a file data buffer in
+ ordered mode.
+ data_err=abort
+ Abort the journal if an error occurs in a file data buffer in ordered
+ mode.
+
+ grpid | bsdgroups
+ New objects have the group ID of their parent.
+
+ nogrpid (*) | sysvgroups
+ New objects have the group ID of their creator.
+
+ resgid=n
+ The group ID which may use the reserved blocks.
+
+ resuid=n
+ The user ID which may use the reserved blocks.
+
+ sb=
+ Use alternate superblock at this location.
+
+ quota, noquota, grpquota, usrquota
+ These options are ignored by the filesystem. They are used only by
+ quota tools to recognize volumes where quota should be turned on. See
+ documentation in the quota-tools package for more details
+ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxquota).
+
+ jqfmt=<quota type>, usrjquota=<file>, grpjquota=<file>
+ These options tell filesystem details about quota so that quota
+ information can be properly updated during journal replay. They replace
+ the above quota options. See documentation in the quota-tools package
+ for more details (http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxquota).
+
+ stripe=n
+ Number of filesystem blocks that mballoc will try to use for allocation
+ size and alignment. For RAID5/6 systems this should be the number of
+ data disks * RAID chunk size in file system blocks.
+
+ delalloc (*)
+ Defer block allocation until just before ext4 writes out the block(s)
+ in question. This allows ext4 to better allocation decisions more
+ efficiently.
+
+ nodelalloc
+ Disable delayed allocation. Blocks are allocated when the data is
+ copied from userspace to the page cache, either via the write(2) system
+ call or when an mmap'ed page which was previously unallocated is
+ written for the first time.
+
+ max_batch_time=usec
+ Maximum amount of time ext4 should wait for additional filesystem
+ operations to be batch together with a synchronous write operation.
+ Since a synchronous write operation is going to force a commit and then
+ a wait for the I/O complete, it doesn't cost much, and can be a huge
+ throughput win, we wait for a small amount of time to see if any other
+ transactions can piggyback on the synchronous write. The algorithm
+ used is designed to automatically tune for the speed of the disk, by
+ measuring the amount of time (on average) that it takes to finish
+ committing a transaction. Call this time the "commit time". If the
+ time that the transaction has been running is less than the commit
+ time, ext4 will try sleeping for the commit time to see if other
+ operations will join the transaction. The commit time is capped by
+ the max_batch_time, which defaults to 15000us (15ms). This
+ optimization can be turned off entirely by setting max_batch_time to 0.
+
+ min_batch_time=usec
+ This parameter sets the commit time (as described above) to be at least
+ min_batch_time. It defaults to zero microseconds. Increasing this
+ parameter may improve the throughput of multi-threaded, synchronous
+ workloads on very fast disks, at the cost of increasing latency.
+
+ journal_ioprio=prio
+ The I/O priority (from 0 to 7, where 0 is the highest priority) which
+ should be used for I/O operations submitted by kjournald2 during a
+ commit operation. This defaults to 3, which is a slightly higher
+ priority than the default I/O priority.
+
+ auto_da_alloc(*), noauto_da_alloc
+ Many broken applications don't use fsync() when replacing existing
+ files via patterns such as fd = open("foo.new")/write(fd,..)/close(fd)/
+ rename("foo.new", "foo"), or worse yet, fd = open("foo",
+ O_TRUNC)/write(fd,..)/close(fd). If auto_da_alloc is enabled, ext4
+ will detect the replace-via-rename and replace-via-truncate patterns
+ and force that any delayed allocation blocks are allocated such that at
+ the next journal commit, in the default data=ordered mode, the data
+ blocks of the new file are forced to disk before the rename() operation
+ is committed. This provides roughly the same level of guarantees as
+ ext3, and avoids the "zero-length" problem that can happen when a
+ system crashes before the delayed allocation blocks are forced to disk.
+
+ noinit_itable
+ Do not initialize any uninitialized inode table blocks in the
+ background. This feature may be used by installation CD's so that the
+ install process can complete as quickly as possible; the inode table
+ initialization process would then be deferred until the next time the
+ file system is unmounted.
+
+ init_itable=n
+ The lazy itable init code will wait n times the number of milliseconds
+ it took to zero out the previous block group's inode table. This
+ minimizes the impact on the system performance while file system's
+ inode table is being initialized.
+
+ discard, nodiscard(*)
+ Controls whether ext4 should issue discard/TRIM commands to the
+ underlying block device when blocks are freed. This is useful for SSD
+ devices and sparse/thinly-provisioned LUNs, but it is off by default
+ until sufficient testing has been done.
+
+ nouid32
+ Disables 32-bit UIDs and GIDs. This is for interoperability with
+ older kernels which only store and expect 16-bit values.
+
+ block_validity(*), noblock_validity
+ These options enable or disable the in-kernel facility for tracking
+ filesystem metadata blocks within internal data structures. This
+ allows multi- block allocator and other routines to notice bugs or
+ corrupted allocation bitmaps which cause blocks to be allocated which
+ overlap with filesystem metadata blocks.
+
+ dioread_lock, dioread_nolock
+ Controls whether or not ext4 should use the DIO read locking. If the
+ dioread_nolock option is specified ext4 will allocate uninitialized
+ extent before buffer write and convert the extent to initialized after
+ IO completes. This approach allows ext4 code to avoid using inode
+ mutex, which improves scalability on high speed storages. However this
+ does not work with data journaling and dioread_nolock option will be
+ ignored with kernel warning. Note that dioread_nolock code path is only
+ used for extent-based files. Because of the restrictions this options
+ comprises it is off by default (e.g. dioread_lock).
+
+ max_dir_size_kb=n
+ This limits the size of directories so that any attempt to expand them
+ beyond the specified limit in kilobytes will cause an ENOSPC error.
+ This is useful in memory constrained environments, where a very large
+ directory can cause severe performance problems or even provoke the Out
+ Of Memory killer. (For example, if there is only 512mb memory
+ available, a 176mb directory may seriously cramp the system's style.)
+
+ i_version
+ Enable 64-bit inode version support. This option is off by default.
+
+ dax
+ Use direct access (no page cache). See
+ Documentation/filesystems/dax.txt. Note that this option is
+ incompatible with data=journal.
+
+Data Mode
+=========
+There are 3 different data modes:
+
+* writeback mode
+
+ In data=writeback mode, ext4 does not journal data at all. This mode provides
+ a similar level of journaling as that of XFS, JFS, and ReiserFS in its default
+ mode - metadata journaling. A crash+recovery can cause incorrect data to
+ appear in files which were written shortly before the crash. This mode will
+ typically provide the best ext4 performance.
+
+* ordered mode
+
+ In data=ordered mode, ext4 only officially journals metadata, but it logically
+ groups metadata information related to data changes with the data blocks into
+ a single unit called a transaction. When it's time to write the new metadata
+ out to disk, the associated data blocks are written first. In general, this
+ mode performs slightly slower than writeback but significantly faster than
+ journal mode.
+
+* journal mode
+
+ data=journal mode provides full data and metadata journaling. All new data is
+ written to the journal first, and then to its final location. In the event of
+ a crash, the journal can be replayed, bringing both data and metadata into a
+ consistent state. This mode is the slowest except when data needs to be read
+ from and written to disk at the same time where it outperforms all others
+ modes. Enabling this mode will disable delayed allocation and O_DIRECT
+ support.
+
+/proc entries
+=============
+
+Information about mounted ext4 file systems can be found in
+/proc/fs/ext4. Each mounted filesystem will have a directory in
+/proc/fs/ext4 based on its device name (i.e., /proc/fs/ext4/hdc or
+/proc/fs/ext4/dm-0). The files in each per-device directory are shown
+in table below.

+
+/sys entries
+============
+
+Information about mounted ext4 file systems can be found in
+/sys/fs/ext4. Each mounted filesystem will have a directory in
+/sys/fs/ext4 based on its device name (i.e., /sys/fs/ext4/hdc or
+/sys/fs/ext4/dm-0). The files in each per-device directory are shown
+in table below.
+
+Files in /sys/fs/ext4/<devname>:
+
+(see also Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-fs-ext4)
+
+ delayed_allocation_blocks
+ This file is read-only and shows the number of blocks that are dirty in
+ the page cache, but which do not have their location in the filesystem
+ allocated yet.
+
+ inode_goal
+ Tuning parameter which (if non-zero) controls the goal inode used by
+ the inode allocator in preference to all other allocation heuristics.
+ This is intended for debugging use only, and should be 0 on production
+ systems.
+
+ inode_readahead_blks
+ Tuning parameter which controls the maximum number of inode table
+ blocks that ext4's inode table readahead algorithm will pre-read into
+ the buffer cache.
+
+ lifetime_write_kbytes
+ This file is read-only and shows the number of kilobytes of data that
+ have been written to this filesystem since it was created.
+
+ max_writeback_mb_bump
+ The maximum number of megabytes the writeback code will try to write
+ out before move on to another inode.
+
+ mb_group_prealloc
+ The multiblock allocator will round up allocation requests to a
+ multiple of this tuning parameter if the stripe size is not set in the
+ ext4 superblock
+
+ mb_max_to_scan
+ The maximum number of extents the multiblock allocator will search to
+ find the best extent.
+
+ mb_min_to_scan
+ The minimum number of extents the multiblock allocator will search to
+ find the best extent.
+
+ mb_order2_req
+ Tuning parameter which controls the minimum size for requests (as a
+ power of 2) where the buddy cache is used.
+
+ mb_stats
+ Controls whether the multiblock allocator should collect statistics,
+ which are shown during the unmount. 1 means to collect statistics, 0
+ means not to collect statistics.
+
+ mb_stream_req
+ Files which have fewer blocks than this tunable parameter will have
+ their blocks allocated out of a block group specific preallocation
+ pool, so that small files are packed closely together. Each large file
+ will have its blocks allocated out of its own unique preallocation
+ pool.
+
+ session_write_kbytes
+ This file is read-only and shows the number of kilobytes of data that
+ have been written to this filesystem since it was mounted.
+
+ reserved_clusters
+ This is RW file and contains number of reserved clusters in the file
+ system which will be used in the specific situations to avoid costly
+ zeroout, unexpected ENOSPC, or possible data loss. The default is 2% or
+ 4096 clusters, whichever is smaller and this can be changed however it
+ can never exceed number of clusters in the file system. If there is not
+ enough space for the reserved space when mounting the file mount will
+ _not_ fail.
+
+Ioctls
+======
+
+There is some Ext4 specific functionality which can be accessed by applications
+through the system call interfaces. The list of all Ext4 specific ioctls are
+shown in the table below.
+
+Table of Ext4 specific ioctls
+
+ EXT4_IOC_GETFLAGS
+ Get additional attributes associated with inode. The ioctl argument is
+ an integer bitfield, with bit values described in ext4.h. This ioctl is
+ an alias for FS_IOC_GETFLAGS.
+
+ EXT4_IOC_SETFLAGS
+ Set additional attributes associated with inode. The ioctl argument is
+ an integer bitfield, with bit values described in ext4.h. This ioctl is
+ an alias for FS_IOC_SETFLAGS.
+
+ EXT4_IOC_GETVERSION, EXT4_IOC_GETVERSION_OLD
+ Get the inode i_generation number stored for each inode. The
+ i_generation number is normally changed only when new inode is created
+ and it is particularly useful for network filesystems. The '_OLD'
+ version of this ioctl is an alias for FS_IOC_GETVERSION.
+
+ EXT4_IOC_SETVERSION, EXT4_IOC_SETVERSION_OLD
+ Set the inode i_generation number stored for each inode. The '_OLD'
+ version of this ioctl is an alias for FS_IOC_SETVERSION.
+
+ EXT4_IOC_GROUP_EXTEND
+ This ioctl has the same purpose as the resize mount option. It allows
+ to resize filesystem to the end of the last existing block group,
+ further resize has to be done with resize2fs, either online, or
+ offline. The argument points to the unsigned logn number representing
+ the filesystem new block count.
+
+ EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT
+ Move the block extents from orig_fd (the one this ioctl is pointing to)
+ to the donor_fd (the one specified in move_extent structure passed as
+ an argument to this ioctl). Then, exchange inode metadata between
+ orig_fd and donor_fd. This is especially useful for online
+ defragmentation, because the allocator has the opportunity to allocate
+ moved blocks better, ideally into one contiguous extent.
+
+ EXT4_IOC_GROUP_ADD
+ Add a new group descriptor to an existing or new group descriptor
+ block. The new group descriptor is described by ext4_new_group_input
+ structure, which is passed as an argument to this ioctl. This is
+ especially useful in conjunction with EXT4_IOC_GROUP_EXTEND, which
+ allows online resize of the filesystem to the end of the last existing
+ block group. Those two ioctls combined is used in userspace online
+ resize tool (e.g. resize2fs).
+
+ EXT4_IOC_MIGRATE
+ This ioctl operates on the filesystem itself. It converts (migrates)
+ ext3 indirect block mapped inode to ext4 extent mapped inode by walking
+ through indirect block mapping of the original inode and converting
+ contiguous block ranges into ext4 extents of the temporary inode. Then,
+ inodes are swapped. This ioctl might help, when migrating from ext3 to
+ ext4 filesystem, however suggestion is to create fresh ext4 filesystem
+ and copy data from the backup. Note, that filesystem has to support
+ extents for this ioctl to work.
+
+ EXT4_IOC_ALLOC_DA_BLKS
+ Force all of the delay allocated blocks to be allocated to preserve
+ application-expected ext3 behaviour. Note that this will also start
+ triggering a write of the data blocks, but this behaviour may change in
+ the future as it is not necessary and has been done this way only for
+ sake of simplicity.
+
+ EXT4_IOC_RESIZE_FS
+ Resize the filesystem to a new size. The number of blocks of resized
+ filesystem is passed in via 64 bit integer argument. The kernel
+ allocates bitmaps and inode table, the userspace tool thus just passes
+ the new number of blocks.
+
+ EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT
+ Swap i_blocks and associated attributes (like i_blocks, i_size,
+ i_flags, ...) from the specified inode with inode EXT4_BOOT_LOADER_INO
+ (#5). This is typically used to store a boot loader in a secure part of
+ the filesystem, where it can't be changed by a normal user by accident.
+ The data blocks of the previous boot loader will be associated with the
+ given inode.

-Memory hotplug event notifier
-=============================
-
-Hotplugging events are sent to a notification queue.
-
-There are six types of notification defined in include/linux/memory.h:
-
-MEM_GOING_ONLINE
- Generated before new memory becomes available in order to be able to
- prepare subsystems to handle memory. The page allocator is still unable
- to allocate from the new memory.
-
-MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE
- Generated if MEMORY_GOING_ONLINE fails.
-
-MEM_ONLINE
- Generated when memory has successfully brought online. The callback may
- allocate pages from the new memory.
-
-MEM_GOING_OFFLINE
- Generated to begin the process of offlining memory. Allocations are no
- longer possible from the memory but some of the memory to be offlined
- is still in use. The callback can be used to free memory known to a
- subsystem from the indicated memory block.
-
-MEM_CANCEL_OFFLINE
- Generated if MEMORY_GOING_OFFLINE fails. Memory is available again from
- the memory block that we attempted to offline.
-
-MEM_OFFLINE
- Generated after offlining memory is complete.
-
-A callback routine can be registered by calling::
-
- hotplug_memory_notifier(callback_func, priority)
-
-Callback functions with higher values of priority are called before callback
-functions with lower values.
-
-A callback function must have the following prototype::
-
- int callback_func(
- struct notifier_block *self, unsigned long action, void *arg);
-
-The first argument of the callback function (self) is a pointer to the block
-of the notifier chain that points to the callback function itself.
-The second argument (action) is one of the event types described above.
-The third argument (arg) passes a pointer of struct memory_notify::
-
- struct memory_notify {
- unsigned long start_pfn;
- unsigned long nr_pages;
- int status_change_nid_normal;
- int status_change_nid_high;
- int status_change_nid;
- }
-
-- start_pfn is start_pfn of online/offline memory.
-- nr_pages is # of pages of online/offline memory.
-- status_change_nid_normal is set node id when N_NORMAL_MEMORY of nodemask
- is (will be) set/clear, if this is -1, then nodemask status is not changed.
-- status_change_nid_high is set node id when N_HIGH_MEMORY of nodemask
- is (will be) set/clear, if this is -1, then nodemask status is not changed.
-- status_change_nid is set node id when N_MEMORY of nodemask is (will be)
- set/clear. It means a new(memoryless) node gets new memory by online and a
- node loses all memory. If this is -1, then nodemask status is not changed.
-
- If status_changed_nid* >= 0, callback should create/discard structures for the
- node if necessary.
-
-The callback routine shall return one of the values
-NOTIFY_DONE, NOTIFY_OK, NOTIFY_BAD, NOTIFY_STOP
-defined in include/linux/notifier.h
-
-NOTIFY_DONE and NOTIFY_OK have no effect on the further processing.
-
-NOTIFY_BAD is used as response to the MEM_GOING_ONLINE, MEM_GOING_OFFLINE,
-MEM_ONLINE, or MEM_OFFLINE action to cancel hotplugging. It stops
-further processing of the notification queue.
-
-NOTIFY_STOP stops further processing of the notification queue.

+HugeTLBpage on ARM64
+====================
+
+Hugepage relies on making efficient use of TLBs to improve performance of
+address translations. The benefit depends on both -
+
+ - the size of hugepages
+ - size of entries supported by the TLBs
+
+The ARM64 port supports two flavours of hugepages.
+
+1) Block mappings at the pud/pmd level
+--------------------------------------
+
+These are regular hugepages where a pmd or a pud page table entry points to a
+block of memory. Regardless of the supported size of entries in TLB, block
+mappings reduce the depth of page table walk needed to translate hugepage
+addresses.
+
+2) Using the Contiguous bit
+---------------------------
+
+The architecture provides a contiguous bit in the translation table entries
+(D4.5.3, ARM DDI 0487C.a) that hints to the MMU to indicate that it is one of a
+contiguous set of entries that can be cached in a single TLB entry.
+
+The contiguous bit is used in Linux to increase the mapping size at the pmd and
+pte (last) level. The number of supported contiguous entries varies by page size
+and level of the page table.
+
+
+The following hugepage sizes are supported -

- INTRODUCTION
-
-Mylex, Inc. designs and manufactures a variety of high performance PCI RAID
-controllers. Mylex Corporation is located at 34551 Ardenwood Blvd., Fremont,
-California 94555, USA and can be reached at 510.796.6100 or on the World Wide
-Web at http://www.mylex.com. Mylex Technical Support can be reached by
-electronic mail at mylexsup@us.ibm.com, by voice at 510.608.2400, or by FAX at
-510.745.7715. Contact information for offices in Europe and Japan is available
-on their Web site.
-
-The latest information on Linux support for DAC960 PCI RAID Controllers, as
-well as the most recent release of this driver, will always be available from
-my Linux Home Page at URL "http://www.dandelion.com/Linux/". The Linux DAC960
-driver supports all current Mylex PCI RAID controllers including the new
-eXtremeRAID 2000/3000 and AcceleRAID 352/170/160 models which have an entirely
-new firmware interface from the older eXtremeRAID 1100, AcceleRAID 150/200/250,
-and DAC960PJ/PG/PU/PD/PL. See below for a complete controller list as well as
-minimum firmware version requirements. For simplicity, in most places this
-documentation refers to DAC960 generically rather than explicitly listing all
-the supported models.
-
-Driver bug reports should be sent via electronic mail to "lnz@dandelion.com".
-Please include with the bug report the complete configuration messages reported
-by the driver at startup, along with any subsequent system messages relevant to
-the controller's operation, and a detailed description of your system's
-hardware configuration. Driver bugs are actually quite rare; if you encounter
-problems with disks being marked offline, for example, please contact Mylex
-Technical Support as the problem is related to the hardware configuration
-rather than the Linux driver.
-
-Please consult the RAID controller documentation for detailed information
-regarding installation and configuration of the controllers. This document
-primarily provides information specific to the Linux support.
-
-
- DRIVER FEATURES
-
-The DAC960 RAID controllers are supported solely as high performance RAID
-controllers, not as interfaces to arbitrary SCSI devices. The Linux DAC960
-driver operates at the block device level, the same level as the SCSI and IDE
-drivers. Unlike other RAID controllers currently supported on Linux, the
-DAC960 driver is not dependent on the SCSI subsystem, and hence avoids all the
-complexity and unnecessary code that would be associated with an implementation
-as a SCSI driver. The DAC960 driver is designed for as high a performance as
-possible with no compromises or extra code for compatibility with lower
-performance devices. The DAC960 driver includes extensive error logging and
-online configuration management capabilities. Except for initial configuration
-of the controller and adding new disk drives, most everything can be handled
-from Linux while the system is operational.
-
-The DAC960 driver is architected to support up to 8 controllers per system.
-Each DAC960 parallel SCSI controller can support up to 15 disk drives per
-channel, for a maximum of 60 drives on a four channel controller; the fibre
-channel eXtremeRAID 3000 controller supports up to 125 disk drives per loop for
-a total of 250 drives. The drives installed on a controller are divided into
-one or more "Drive Groups", and then each Drive Group is subdivided further
-into 1 to 32 "Logical Drives". Each Logical Drive has a specific RAID Level
-and caching policy associated with it, and it appears to Linux as a single
-block device. Logical Drives are further subdivided into up to 7 partitions
-through the normal Linux and PC disk partitioning schemes. Logical Drives are
-also known as "System Drives", and Drive Groups are also called "Packs". Both
-terms are in use in the Mylex documentation; I have chosen to standardize on
-the more generic "Logical Drive" and "Drive Group".
-
-DAC960 RAID disk devices are named in the style of the obsolete Device File
-System (DEVFS). The device corresponding to Logical Drive D on Controller C
-is referred to as /dev/rd/cCdD, and the partitions are called /dev/rd/cCdDp1
-through /dev/rd/cCdDp7. For example, partition 3 of Logical Drive 5 on
-Controller 2 is referred to as /dev/rd/c2d5p3. Note that unlike with SCSI
-disks the device names will not change in the event of a disk drive failure.
-The DAC960 driver is assigned major numbers 48 - 55 with one major number per
-controller. The 8 bits of minor number are divided into 5 bits for the Logical
-Drive and 3 bits for the partition.

-For the eXtremeRAID 2000/3000 and AcceleRAID 352/170/160, firmware version
-6.00-01 or above is required.
-
-For the eXtremeRAID 1100, firmware version 5.06-0-52 or above is required.
-
-For the AcceleRAID 250, 200, and 150, firmware version 4.06-0-57 or above is
-required.
-
-For the DAC960PJ and DAC960PG, firmware version 4.06-0-00 or above is required.
-
-For the DAC960PU, DAC960PD, DAC960PL, and DAC960P, either firmware version

-
-Please note that not all SCSI disk drives are suitable for use with DAC960
-controllers, and only particular firmware versions of any given model may
-actually function correctly. Similarly, not all motherboards have a BIOS that
-properly initializes the AcceleRAID 250, AcceleRAID 200, AcceleRAID 150,
-DAC960PJ, and DAC960PG because the Intel i960RD/RP is a multi-function device.
-If in doubt, contact Mylex RAID Technical Support (mylexsup@us.ibm.com) to
-verify compatibility. Mylex makes available a hard disk compatibility list at
-http://www.mylex.com/support/hdcomp/hd-lists.html.

-
- DRIVER INSTALLATION
-
-This distribution was prepared for Linux kernel version 2.2.19 or 2.4.12.
-
-To install the DAC960 RAID driver, you may use the following commands,
-replacing "/usr/src" with wherever you keep your Linux kernel source tree:
-
- cd /usr/src
- tar -xvzf DAC960-2.2.11.tar.gz (or DAC960-2.4.11.tar.gz)
- mv README.DAC960 linux/Documentation
- mv DAC960.[ch] linux/drivers/block
- patch -p0 < DAC960.patch (if DAC960.patch is included)
- cd linux
- make config
- make bzImage (or zImage)
-
-Then install "arch/x86/boot/bzImage" or "arch/x86/boot/zImage" as your
-standard kernel, run lilo if appropriate, and reboot.
-
-To create the necessary devices in /dev, the "make_rd" script included in
-"DAC960-Utilities.tar.gz" from http://www.dandelion.com/Linux/ may be used.
-LILO 21 and FDISK v2.9 include DAC960 support; also included in this archive
-are patches to LILO 20 and FDISK v2.8 that add DAC960 support, along with
-statically linked executables of LILO and FDISK. This modified version of LILO
-will allow booting from a DAC960 controller and/or mounting the root file
-system from a DAC960.
-
-Red Hat Linux 6.0 and SuSE Linux 6.1 include support for Mylex PCI RAID
-controllers. Installing directly onto a DAC960 may be problematic from other
-Linux distributions until their installation utilities are updated.
-
-
- INSTALLATION NOTES
-
-Before installing Linux or adding DAC960 logical drives to an existing Linux
-system, the controller must first be configured to provide one or more logical
-drives using the BIOS Configuration Utility or DACCF. Please note that since
-there are only at most 6 usable partitions on each logical drive, systems
-requiring more partitions should subdivide a drive group into multiple logical
-drives, each of which can have up to 6 usable partitions. Also, note that with
-large disk arrays it is advisable to enable the 8GB BIOS Geometry (255/63)
-rather than accepting the default 2GB BIOS Geometry (128/32); failing to so do
-will cause the logical drive geometry to have more than 65535 cylinders which
-will make it impossible for FDISK to be used properly. The 8GB BIOS Geometry
-can be enabled by configuring the DAC960 BIOS, which is accessible via Alt-M
-during the BIOS initialization sequence.
-
-For maximum performance and the most efficient E2FSCK performance, it is
-recommended that EXT2 file systems be built with a 4KB block size and 16 block
-stride to match the DAC960 controller's 64KB default stripe size. The command
-"mke2fs -b 4096 -R stride=16 <device>" is appropriate. Unless there will be a
-large number of small files on the file systems, it is also beneficial to add
-the "-i 16384" option to increase the bytes per inode parameter thereby
-reducing the file system metadata. Finally, on systems that will only be run
-with Linux 2.2 or later kernels it is beneficial to enable sparse superblocks
-with the "-s 1" option.
-
-
- DAC960 ANNOUNCEMENTS MAILING LIST
-
-The DAC960 Announcements Mailing List provides a forum for informing Linux
-users of new driver releases and other announcements regarding Linux support
-for DAC960 PCI RAID Controllers. To join the mailing list, send a message to
-"dac960-announce-request@dandelion.com" with the line "subscribe" in the
-message body.

-
- CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION AND STATUS MONITORING
-
-The DAC960 RAID controllers running firmware 4.06 or above include a Background
-Initialization facility so that system downtime is minimized both for initial
-installation and subsequent configuration of additional storage. The BIOS
-Configuration Utility (accessible via Alt-R during the BIOS initialization
-sequence) is used to quickly configure the controller, and then the logical
-drives that have been created are available for immediate use even while they
-are still being initialized by the controller. The primary need for online
-configuration and status monitoring is then to avoid system downtime when disk
-drives fail and must be replaced. Mylex's online monitoring and configuration
-utilities are being ported to Linux and will become available at some point in
-the future. Note that with a SAF-TE (SCSI Accessed Fault-Tolerant Enclosure)
-enclosure, the controller is able to rebuild failed drives automatically as
-soon as a drive replacement is made available.
-
-The primary interfaces for controller configuration and status monitoring are
-special files created in the /proc/rd/... hierarchy along with the normal
-system console logging mechanism. Whenever the system is operating, the DAC960
-driver queries each controller for status information every 10 seconds, and
-checks for additional conditions every 60 seconds. The initial status of each
-controller is always available for controller N in /proc/rd/cN/initial_status,
-and the current status as of the last status monitoring query is available in
-/proc/rd/cN/current_status. In addition, status changes are also logged by the
-driver to the system console and will appear in the log files maintained by
-syslog. The progress of asynchronous rebuild or consistency check operations
-is also available in /proc/rd/cN/current_status, and progress messages are
-logged to the system console at most every 60 seconds.
-
-Starting with the 2.2.3/2.0.3 versions of the driver, the status information
-available in /proc/rd/cN/initial_status and /proc/rd/cN/current_status has been
-augmented to include the vendor, model, revision, and serial number (if
-available) for each physical device found connected to the controller:

- No Rebuild or Consistency Check in Progress
-
-To simplify the monitoring process for custom software, the special file
-/proc/rd/status returns "OK" when all DAC960 controllers in the system are
-operating normally and no failures have occurred, or "ALERT" if any logical
-drives are offline or critical or any non-standby physical drives are dead.
-
-Configuration commands for controller N are available via the special file
-/proc/rd/cN/user_command. A human readable command can be written to this
-special file to initiate a configuration operation, and the results of the
-operation can then be read back from the special file in addition to being
-logged to the system console. The shell command sequence
-
- echo "<configuration-command>" > /proc/rd/c0/user_command
- cat /proc/rd/c0/user_command
-
-is typically used to execute configuration commands. The configuration
-commands are:
-
- flush-cache
-
- The "flush-cache" command flushes the controller's cache. The system
- automatically flushes the cache at shutdown or if the driver module is
- unloaded, so this command is only needed to be certain a write back cache
- is flushed to disk before the system is powered off by a command to a UPS.
- Note that the flush-cache command also stops an asynchronous rebuild or
- consistency check, so it should not be used except when the system is being
- halted.
-
- kill <channel>:<target-id>
-
- The "kill" command marks the physical drive <channel>:<target-id> as DEAD.
- This command is provided primarily for testing, and should not be used
- during normal system operation.
-
- make-online <channel>:<target-id>
-
- The "make-online" command changes the physical drive <channel>:<target-id>
- from status DEAD to status ONLINE. In cases where multiple physical drives
- have been killed simultaneously, this command may be used to bring all but
- one of them back online, after which a rebuild to the final drive is
- necessary.
-
- Warning: make-online should only be used on a dead physical drive that is
- an active part of a drive group, never on a standby drive. The command
- should never be used on a dead drive that is part of a critical logical
- drive; rebuild should be used if only a single drive is dead.
-
- make-standby <channel>:<target-id>
-
- The "make-standby" command changes physical drive <channel>:<target-id>
- from status DEAD to status STANDBY. It should only be used in cases where
- a dead drive was replaced after an automatic rebuild was performed onto a
- standby drive. It cannot be used to add a standby drive to the controller
- configuration if one was not created initially; the BIOS Configuration
- Utility must be used for that currently.
-
- rebuild <channel>:<target-id>
-
- The "rebuild" command initiates an asynchronous rebuild onto physical drive
- <channel>:<target-id>. It should only be used when a dead drive has been
- replaced.
-
- check-consistency <logical-drive-number>
-
- The "check-consistency" command initiates an asynchronous consistency check
- of <logical-drive-number> with automatic restoration. It can be used
- whenever it is desired to verify the consistency of the redundancy
- information.
-
- cancel-rebuild
- cancel-consistency-check
-
- The "cancel-rebuild" and "cancel-consistency-check" commands cancel any
- rebuild or consistency check operations previously initiated.
-
-
- EXAMPLE I - DRIVE FAILURE WITHOUT A STANDBY DRIVE
-
-The following annotated logs demonstrate the controller configuration and and
-online status monitoring capabilities of the Linux DAC960 Driver. The test
-configuration comprises 6 1GB Quantum Atlas I disk drives on two channels of a
-DAC960PJ controller. The physical drives are configured into a single drive
-group without a standby drive, and the drive group has been configured into two
-logical drives, one RAID-5 and one RAID-6. Note that these logs are from an
-earlier version of the driver and the messages have changed somewhat with newer
-releases, but the functionality remains similar. First, here is the current
-status of the RAID configuration:

-
-gwynedd:/u/lnz# cat /proc/rd/status
-OK
-
-The above messages indicate that everything is healthy, and /proc/rd/status
-returns "OK" indicating that there are no problems with any DAC960 controller
-in the system. For demonstration purposes, while I/O is active Physical Drive
-1:1 is now disconnected, simulating a drive failure. The failure is noted by
-the driver within 10 seconds of the controller's having detected it, and the
-driver logs the following console status messages indicating that Logical
-Drives 0 and 1 are now CRITICAL as a result of Physical Drive 1:1 being DEAD:
-
-DAC960#0: Physical Drive 1:2 Error Log: Sense Key = 6, ASC = 29, ASCQ = 02
-DAC960#0: Physical Drive 1:3 Error Log: Sense Key = 6, ASC = 29, ASCQ = 02
-DAC960#0: Physical Drive 1:1 killed because of timeout on SCSI command
-DAC960#0: Physical Drive 1:1 is now DEAD
-DAC960#0: Logical Drive 0 (/dev/rd/c0d0) is now CRITICAL
-DAC960#0: Logical Drive 1 (/dev/rd/c0d1) is now CRITICAL
-
-The Sense Keys logged here are just Check Condition / Unit Attention conditions
-arising from a SCSI bus reset that is forced by the controller during its error
-recovery procedures. Concurrently with the above, the driver status available
-from /proc/rd also reflects the drive failure. The status message in
-/proc/rd/status has changed from "OK" to "ALERT":
-
-gwynedd:/u/lnz# cat /proc/rd/status
-ALERT
-
-and /proc/rd/c0/current_status has been updated:
-
-gwynedd:/u/lnz# cat /proc/rd/c0/current_status

- /dev/rd/c0d1: RAID-6, Critical, 3305472 blocks, Write Thru
- No Rebuild or Consistency Check in Progress
-
-Since there are no standby drives configured, the system can continue to access
-the logical drives in a performance degraded mode until the failed drive is
-replaced and a rebuild operation completed to restore the redundancy of the
-logical drives. Once Physical Drive 1:1 is replaced with a properly
-functioning drive, or if the physical drive was killed without having failed
-(e.g., due to electrical problems on the SCSI bus), the user can instruct the
-controller to initiate a rebuild operation onto the newly replaced drive:
-
-gwynedd:/u/lnz# echo "rebuild 1:1" > /proc/rd/c0/user_command
-gwynedd:/u/lnz# cat /proc/rd/c0/user_command
-Rebuild of Physical Drive 1:1 Initiated
-
-The echo command instructs the controller to initiate an asynchronous rebuild
-operation onto Physical Drive 1:1, and the status message that results from the
-operation is then available for reading from /proc/rd/c0/user_command, as well
-as being logged to the console by the driver.
-
-Within 10 seconds of this command the driver logs the initiation of the
-asynchronous rebuild operation:
-

- EXAMPLE II - DRIVE FAILURE WITH A STANDBY DRIVE
-
-The following annotated logs demonstrate the controller configuration and and
-online status monitoring capabilities of the Linux DAC960 Driver. The test
-configuration comprises 6 1GB Quantum Atlas I disk drives on two channels of a
-DAC960PJ controller. The physical drives are configured into a single drive
-group with a standby drive, and the drive group has been configured into two
-logical drives, one RAID-5 and one RAID-6. Note that these logs are from an
-earlier version of the driver and the messages have changed somewhat with newer
-releases, but the functionality remains similar. First, here is the current
-status of the RAID configuration:

-in the system. For demonstration purposes, while I/O is active Physical Drive
-1:2 is now disconnected, simulating a drive failure. The failure is noted by
-the driver within 10 seconds of the controller's having detected it, and the
-driver logs the following console status messages:

+=======================
+Memory Allocation Guide
+=======================
+
+Linux provides a variety of APIs for memory allocation. You can
+allocate small chunks using `kmalloc` or `kmem_cache_alloc` families,
+large virtually contiguous areas using `vmalloc` and its derivatives,
+or you can directly request pages from the page allocator with
+`alloc_pages`. It is also possible to use more specialized allocators,
+for instance `cma_alloc` or `zs_malloc`.
+
+Most of the memory allocation APIs use GFP flags to express how that
+memory should be allocated. The GFP acronym stands for "get free
+pages", the underlying memory allocation function.
+
+Diversity of the allocation APIs combined with the numerous GFP flags
+makes the question "How should I allocate memory?" not that easy to
+answer, although very likely you should use
+
+::
+
+ kzalloc(<size>, GFP_KERNEL);
+
+Of course there are cases when other allocation APIs and different GFP
+flags must be used.
+
+Get Free Page flags
+===================
+
+The GFP flags control the allocators behavior. They tell what memory
+zones can be used, how hard the allocator should try to find free
+memory, whether the memory can be accessed by the userspace etc. The
+:ref:`Documentation/core-api/mm-api.rst <mm-api-gfp-flags>` provides
+reference documentation for the GFP flags and their combinations and
+here we briefly outline their recommended usage:
+
+ * Most of the time ``GFP_KERNEL`` is what you need. Memory for the
+ kernel data structures, DMAable memory, inode cache, all these and
+ many other allocations types can use ``GFP_KERNEL``. Note, that
+ using ``GFP_KERNEL`` implies ``GFP_RECLAIM``, which means that
+ direct reclaim may be triggered under memory pressure; the calling
+ context must be allowed to sleep.
+ * If the allocation is performed from an atomic context, e.g interrupt
+ handler, use ``GFP_NOWAIT``. This flag prevents direct reclaim and
+ IO or filesystem operations. Consequently, under memory pressure
+ ``GFP_NOWAIT`` allocation is likely to fail. Allocations which
+ have a reasonable fallback should be using ``GFP_NOWARN``.
+ * If you think that accessing memory reserves is justified and the kernel
+ will be stressed unless allocation succeeds, you may use ``GFP_ATOMIC``.
+ * Untrusted allocations triggered from userspace should be a subject
+ of kmem accounting and must have ``__GFP_ACCOUNT`` bit set. There
+ is the handy ``GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT`` shortcut for ``GFP_KERNEL``
+ allocations that should be accounted.
+ * Userspace allocations should use either of the ``GFP_USER``,
+ ``GFP_HIGHUSER`` or ``GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE`` flags. The longer
+ the flag name the less restrictive it is.
+
+ ``GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE`` does not require that allocated memory
+ will be directly accessible by the kernel and implies that the
+ data is movable.
+
+ ``GFP_HIGHUSER`` means that the allocated memory is not movable,
+ but it is not required to be directly accessible by the kernel. An
+ example may be a hardware allocation that maps data directly into
+ userspace but has no addressing limitations.
+
+ ``GFP_USER`` means that the allocated memory is not movable and it
+ must be directly accessible by the kernel.
+
+You may notice that quite a few allocations in the existing code
+specify ``GFP_NOIO`` or ``GFP_NOFS``. Historically, they were used to
+prevent recursion deadlocks caused by direct memory reclaim calling
+back into the FS or IO paths and blocking on already held
+resources. Since 4.12 the preferred way to address this issue is to
+use new scope APIs described in
+:ref:`Documentation/core-api/gfp_mask-from-fs-io.rst <gfp_mask_from_fs_io>`.
+
+Other legacy GFP flags are ``GFP_DMA`` and ``GFP_DMA32``. They are
+used to ensure that the allocated memory is accessible by hardware
+with limited addressing capabilities. So unless you are writing a
+driver for a device with such restrictions, avoid using these flags.
+And even with hardware with restrictions it is preferable to use
+`dma_alloc*` APIs.
+
+Selecting memory allocator
+==========================
+
+The most straightforward way to allocate memory is to use a function
+from the :c:func:`kmalloc` family. And, to be on the safe size it's
+best to use routines that set memory to zero, like
+:c:func:`kzalloc`. If you need to allocate memory for an array, there
+are :c:func:`kmalloc_array` and :c:func:`kcalloc` helpers.
+
+The maximal size of a chunk that can be allocated with `kmalloc` is
+limited. The actual limit depends on the hardware and the kernel
+configuration, but it is a good practice to use `kmalloc` for objects
+smaller than page size.
+
+For large allocations you can use :c:func:`vmalloc` and
+:c:func:`vzalloc`, or directly request pages from the page
+allocator. The memory allocated by `vmalloc` and related functions is
+not physically contiguous.
+
+If you are not sure whether the allocation size is too large for
+`kmalloc`, it is possible to use :c:func:`kvmalloc` and its
+derivatives. It will try to allocate memory with `kmalloc` and if the
+allocation fails it will be retried with `vmalloc`. There are
+restrictions on which GFP flags can be used with `kvmalloc`; please
+see :c:func:`kvmalloc_node` reference documentation. Note that
+`kvmalloc` may return memory that is not physically contiguous.
+
+If you need to allocate many identical objects you can use the slab
+cache allocator. The cache should be set up with
+:c:func:`kmem_cache_create` before it can be used. Afterwards
+:c:func:`kmem_cache_alloc` and its convenience wrappers can allocate
+memory from that cache.
+
+When the allocated memory is no longer needed it must be freed. You
+can use :c:func:`kvfree` for the memory allocated with `kmalloc`,
+`vmalloc` and `kvmalloc`. The slab caches should be freed with
+:c:func:`kmem_cache_free`. And don't forget to destroy the cache with

+Memory hotplug event notifier
+=============================
+
+Hotplugging events are sent to a notification queue.
+
+There are six types of notification defined in ``include/linux/memory.h``:
+
+MEM_GOING_ONLINE
+ Generated before new memory becomes available in order to be able to
+ prepare subsystems to handle memory. The page allocator is still unable
+ to allocate from the new memory.
+
+MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE
+ Generated if MEM_GOING_ONLINE fails.
+
+MEM_ONLINE
+ Generated when memory has successfully brought online. The callback may
+ allocate pages from the new memory.
+
+MEM_GOING_OFFLINE
+ Generated to begin the process of offlining memory. Allocations are no
+ longer possible from the memory but some of the memory to be offlined
+ is still in use. The callback can be used to free memory known to a
+ subsystem from the indicated memory block.
+
+MEM_CANCEL_OFFLINE
+ Generated if MEM_GOING_OFFLINE fails. Memory is available again from
+ the memory block that we attempted to offline.
+
+MEM_OFFLINE
+ Generated after offlining memory is complete.
+
+A callback routine can be registered by calling::
+
+ hotplug_memory_notifier(callback_func, priority)
+
+Callback functions with higher values of priority are called before callback
+functions with lower values.
+
+A callback function must have the following prototype::
+
+ int callback_func(
+ struct notifier_block *self, unsigned long action, void *arg);
+
+The first argument of the callback function (self) is a pointer to the block
+of the notifier chain that points to the callback function itself.
+The second argument (action) is one of the event types described above.
+The third argument (arg) passes a pointer of struct memory_notify::
+
+ struct memory_notify {
+ unsigned long start_pfn;
+ unsigned long nr_pages;
+ int status_change_nid_normal;
+ int status_change_nid_high;
+ int status_change_nid;
+ }
+
+- start_pfn is start_pfn of online/offline memory.
+- nr_pages is # of pages of online/offline memory.
+- status_change_nid_normal is set node id when N_NORMAL_MEMORY of nodemask
+ is (will be) set/clear, if this is -1, then nodemask status is not changed.
+- status_change_nid_high is set node id when N_HIGH_MEMORY of nodemask
+ is (will be) set/clear, if this is -1, then nodemask status is not changed.
+- status_change_nid is set node id when N_MEMORY of nodemask is (will be)
+ set/clear. It means a new(memoryless) node gets new memory by online and a
+ node loses all memory. If this is -1, then nodemask status is not changed.
+
+ If status_changed_nid* >= 0, callback should create/discard structures for the
+ node if necessary.
+
+The callback routine shall return one of the values
+NOTIFY_DONE, NOTIFY_OK, NOTIFY_BAD, NOTIFY_STOP
+defined in ``include/linux/notifier.h``
+
+NOTIFY_DONE and NOTIFY_OK have no effect on the further processing.
+
+NOTIFY_BAD is used as response to the MEM_GOING_ONLINE, MEM_GOING_OFFLINE,
+MEM_ONLINE, or MEM_OFFLINE action to cancel hotplugging. It stops
+further processing of the notification queue.
+
+NOTIFY_STOP stops further processing of the notification queue.
+
+Locking Internals
+=================
+
+When adding/removing memory that uses memory block devices (i.e. ordinary RAM),
+the device_hotplug_lock should be held to:
+
+- synchronize against online/offline requests (e.g. via sysfs). This way, memory
+ block devices can only be accessed (.online/.state attributes) by user
+ space once memory has been fully added. And when removing memory, we
+ know nobody is in critical sections.
+- synchronize against CPU hotplug and similar (e.g. relevant for ACPI and PPC)
+
+Especially, there is a possible lock inversion that is avoided using
+device_hotplug_lock when adding memory and user space tries to online that
+memory faster than expected:
+
+- device_online() will first take the device_lock(), followed by
+ mem_hotplug_lock
+- add_memory_resource() will first take the mem_hotplug_lock, followed by
+ the device_lock() (while creating the devices, during bus_add_device()).
+
+As the device is visible to user space before taking the device_lock(), this
+can result in a lock inversion.
+
+onlining/offlining of memory should be done via device_online()/
+device_offline() - to make sure it is properly synchronized to actions
+via sysfs. Holding device_hotplug_lock is advised (to e.g. protect online_type)
+
+When adding/removing/onlining/offlining memory or adding/removing
+heterogeneous/device memory, we should always hold the mem_hotplug_lock in
+write mode to serialise memory hotplug (e.g. access to global/zone
+variables).
+
+In addition, mem_hotplug_lock (in contrast to device_hotplug_lock) in read
+mode allows for a quite efficient get_online_mems/put_online_mems
+implementation, so code accessing memory can protect from that memory
+vanishing.

+Marvell SEI (System Error Interrupt) Controller
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+Marvell SEI (System Error Interrupt) controller is an interrupt
+aggregator. It receives interrupts from several sources and aggregates
+them to a single interrupt line (an SPI) on the parent interrupt
+controller.
+
+This interrupt controller can handle up to 64 SEIs, a set comes from the
+AP and is wired while a second set comes from the CPs by the mean of
+MSIs.
+
+Required properties:

+- reg: SEI registers location and length.
+- interrupts: identifies the parent IRQ that will be triggered.

+ number.
+- interrupt-controller: identifies the node as an interrupt controller
+ for AP interrupts.

+ interrupts.

+Microsemi Ocelot SerDes muxing driver
+-------------------------------------
+
+On Microsemi Ocelot, there is a handful of registers in HSIO address
+space for setting up the SerDes to switch port muxing.
+
+A SerDes X can be "muxed" to work with switch port Y or Z for example.
+One specific SerDes can also be used as a PCIe interface.
+
+Hence, a SerDes represents an interface, be it an Ethernet or a PCIe one.
+
+There are two kinds of SerDes: SERDES1G supports 10/100Mbps in
+half/full-duplex and 1000Mbps in full-duplex mode while SERDES6G supports
+10/100Mbps in half/full-duplex and 1000/2500Mbps in full-duplex mode.
+
+Also, SERDES6G number (aka "macro") 0 is the only interface supporting
+QSGMII.
+
+This is a child of the HSIO syscon ("mscc,ocelot-hsio", see
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mips/mscc.txt) on the Microsemi Ocelot.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible: should be "mscc,vsc7514-serdes"
+- #phy-cells : from the generic phy bindings, must be 2.
+ The first number defines the input port to use for a given
+ SerDes macro. The second defines the macro to use. They are
+ defined in dt-bindings/phy/phy-ocelot-serdes.h
+
+Example:
+
+ serdes: serdes {
+ compatible = "mscc,vsc7514-serdes";
+ #phy-cells = <2>;
+ };

+Nuvoton NPCM7XX Pin Controllers
+
+The Nuvoton BMC NPCM7XX Pin Controller multi-function routed through
+the multiplexing block, Each pin supports GPIO functionality (GPIOx)
+and multiple functions that directly connect the pin to different
+hardware blocks.
+
+Required properties:
+- #address-cells : should be 1.
+- #size-cells : should be 1.
+- compatible : "nuvoton,npcm750-pinctrl" for Poleg NPCM7XX.
+- ranges : defines mapping ranges between pin controller node (parent)
+ to GPIO bank node (children).
+
+=== GPIO Bank Subnode ===
+
+The NPCM7XX has 8 GPIO Banks each GPIO bank supports 32 GPIO.
+
+Required GPIO Bank subnode-properties:
+- reg : specifies physical base address and size of the GPIO
+ bank registers.
+- gpio-controller : Marks the device node as a GPIO controller.
+- #gpio-cells : Must be <2>. The first cell is the gpio pin number
+ and the second cell is used for optional parameters.
+- interrupts : contain the GPIO bank interrupt with flags for falling edge.
+- gpio-ranges : defines the range of pins managed by the GPIO bank controller.
+
+For example, GPIO bank subnodes like the following:
+ gpio0: gpio@f0010000 {
+ gpio-controller;
+ #gpio-cells = <2>;
+ reg = <0x0 0x80>;
+ interrupts = <GIC_SPI 116 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
+ gpio-ranges = <&pinctrl 0 0 32>;
+ };
+
+=== Pin Mux Subnode ===
+
+- pin: A string containing the name of the pin
+ An array of strings, each string containing the name of a pin.
+ These pin are used for selecting pin configuration.
+
+The following are the list of pins available:
+ "GPIO0/IOX1DI", "GPIO1/IOX1LD", "GPIO2/IOX1CK", "GPIO3/IOX1D0",

+Please refer to pinctrl-bindings.txt in this directory for details of the
+common pinctrl bindings used by client devices, including the meaning of the
+phrase "pin configuration node".
+
+The pin configuration nodes act as a container for an arbitrary number of
+subnodes. Each of these subnodes represents some desired configuration for a
+pin, a group, or a list of pins or groups. This configuration can include the
+mux function to select on those pin(s)/group(s), and various pin configuration
+parameters, such as pull-up, drive strength, etc.
+
+
+PIN CONFIGURATION NODES:
+
+The name of each subnode is not important; all subnodes should be enumerated
+and processed purely based on their content.
+
+Each subnode only affects those parameters that are explicitly listed. In
+other words, a subnode that lists a mux function but no pin configuration
+parameters implies no information about any pin configuration parameters.
+Similarly, a pin subnode that describes a pullup parameter implies no
+information about e.g. the mux function.
+
+
+The following generic properties as defined in pinctrl-bindings.txt are valid
+to specify in a pin configuration subnode:
+
+- pins:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <string-array>
+ Definition: List of gpio pins affected by the properties specified in

+
+Please refer to pinctrl-bindings.txt in this directory for details of the
+common pinctrl bindings used by client devices, including the meaning of the
+phrase "pin configuration node".
+
+The pin configuration nodes act as a container for an arbitrary number of
+subnodes. Each of these subnodes represents some desired configuration for a
+pin, a group, or a list of pins or groups. This configuration can include the
+mux function to select on those pin(s)/group(s), and various pin configuration
+parameters, such as pull-up, drive strength, etc.
+
+
+PIN CONFIGURATION NODES:
+
+The name of each subnode is not important; all subnodes should be enumerated
+and processed purely based on their content.
+
+Each subnode only affects those parameters that are explicitly listed. In
+other words, a subnode that lists a mux function but no pin configuration
+parameters implies no information about any pin configuration parameters.
+Similarly, a pin subnode that describes a pullup parameter implies no
+information about e.g. the mux function.
+
+
+The following generic properties as defined in pinctrl-bindings.txt are valid
+to specify in a pin configuration subnode:
+
+- pins:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <string-array>
+ Definition: List of gpio pins affected by the properties specified in
+ this subnode. Valid pins are:

+ sdc1_clk, sdc1_cmd, sdc1_data sdc2_clk, sdc2_cmd, sdc2_data sdc1_rclk,
+ Supports bias and drive-strength

+ specified pins. Functions are only valid for gpio pins.

+Renesas RZ/N1 SoC Pinctrl node description.
+
+Pin controller node
+-------------------
+Required properties:
+- compatible: SoC-specific compatible string "renesas,<soc-specific>-pinctrl"
+ followed by "renesas,rzn1-pinctrl" as fallback. The SoC-specific compatible
+ strings must be one of:
+ "renesas,r9a06g032-pinctrl" for RZ/N1D
+ "renesas,r9a06g033-pinctrl" for RZ/N1S
+- reg: Address base and length of the memory area where the pin controller
+ hardware is mapped to.
+- clocks: phandle for the clock, see the description of clock-names below.
+- clock-names: Contains the name of the clock:
+ "bus", the bus clock, sometimes described as pclk, for register accesses.
+
+Example:
+ pinctrl: pin-controller@40067000 {
+ compatible = "renesas,r9a06g032-pinctrl", "renesas,rzn1-pinctrl";
+ reg = <0x40067000 0x1000>, <0x51000000 0x480>;
+ clocks = <&sysctrl R9A06G032_HCLK_PINCONFIG>;
+ clock-names = "bus";
+ };
+
+Sub-nodes
+---------
+
+The child nodes of the pin controller node describe a pin multiplexing
+function.
+
+- Pin multiplexing sub-nodes:
+ A pin multiplexing sub-node describes how to configure a set of
+ (or a single) pin in some desired alternate function mode.
+ A single sub-node may define several pin configurations.
+ Please refer to pinctrl-bindings.txt to get to know more on generic
+ pin properties usage.
+
+ The allowed generic formats for a pin multiplexing sub-node are the
+ following ones:
+
+ node-1 {
+ pinmux = <PIN_ID_AND_MUX>, <PIN_ID_AND_MUX>, ... ;
+ GENERIC_PINCONFIG;
+ };
+
+ node-2 {
+ sub-node-1 {
+ pinmux = <PIN_ID_AND_MUX>, <PIN_ID_AND_MUX>, ... ;
+ GENERIC_PINCONFIG;
+ };
+
+ sub-node-2 {
+ pinmux = <PIN_ID_AND_MUX>, <PIN_ID_AND_MUX>, ... ;
+ GENERIC_PINCONFIG;
+ };
+
+ ...
+
+ sub-node-n {
+ pinmux = <PIN_ID_AND_MUX>, <PIN_ID_AND_MUX>, ... ;
+ GENERIC_PINCONFIG;
+ };
+ };
+
+ node-3 {
+ pinmux = <PIN_ID_AND_MUX>, <PIN_ID_AND_MUX>, ... ;
+ GENERIC_PINCONFIG;
+
+ sub-node-1 {
+ pinmux = <PIN_ID_AND_MUX>, <PIN_ID_AND_MUX>, ... ;
+ GENERIC_PINCONFIG;
+ };
+
+ ...
+
+ sub-node-n {
+ pinmux = <PIN_ID_AND_MUX>, <PIN_ID_AND_MUX>, ... ;
+ GENERIC_PINCONFIG;
+ };
+ };
+
+ Use the latter two formats when pins part of the same logical group need to
+ have different generic pin configuration flags applied. Note that the generic
+ pinconfig in node-3 does not apply to the sub-nodes.
+
+ Client sub-nodes shall refer to pin multiplexing sub-nodes using the phandle
+ of the most external one.
+
+ Eg.
+
+ client-1 {
+ ...
+ pinctrl-0 = <&node-1>;
+ ...
+ };
+
+ client-2 {
+ ...
+ pinctrl-0 = <&node-2>;
+ ...
+ };
+
+ Required properties:
+ - pinmux:
+ integer array representing pin number and pin multiplexing configuration.
+ When a pin has to be configured in alternate function mode, use this
+ property to identify the pin by its global index, and provide its
+ alternate function configuration number along with it.
+ When multiple pins are required to be configured as part of the same
+ alternate function they shall be specified as members of the same
+ argument list of a single "pinmux" property.
+ Integers values in the "pinmux" argument list are assembled as:
+ (PIN | MUX_FUNC << 8)
+ where PIN directly corresponds to the pl_gpio pin number and MUX_FUNC is
+ one of the alternate function identifiers defined in:
+ <include/dt-bindings/pinctrl/rzn1-pinctrl.h>
+ These identifiers collapse the IO Multiplex Configuration Level 1 and
+ Level 2 numbers that are detailed in the hardware reference manual into a
+ single number. The identifiers for Level 2 are simply offset by 10.
+ Additional identifiers are provided to specify the MDIO source peripheral.
+
+ Optional generic pinconf properties:
+ - bias-disable - disable any pin bias
+ - bias-pull-up - pull up the pin with 50 KOhm
+ - bias-pull-down - pull down the pin with 50 KOhm
+ - bias-high-impedance - high impedance mode
+ - drive-strength - sink or source at most 4, 6, 8 or 12 mA
+
+ Example:
+ A serial communication interface with a TX output pin and an RX input pin.
+
+ &pinctrl {
+ pins_uart0: pins_uart0 {
+ pinmux = <
+ RZN1_PINMUX(103, RZN1_FUNC_UART0_I) /* UART0_TXD */
+ RZN1_PINMUX(104, RZN1_FUNC_UART0_I) /* UART0_RXD */
+ >;
+ };
+ };
+
+ Example 2:
+ Here we set the pull up on the RXD pin of the UART.
+
+ &pinctrl {
+ pins_uart0: pins_uart0 {
+ pinmux = <RZN1_PINMUX(103, RZN1_FUNC_UART0_I)>; /* TXD */
+
+ pins_uart6_rx {
+ pinmux = <RZN1_PINMUX(104, RZN1_FUNC_UART0_I)>; /* RXD */
+ bias-pull-up;
+ };
+ };
+ };

+Introduction and Overview
+=========================
+
+The Linux FireWire subsystem adds some interfaces into the Linux system to
+ use/maintain+any resource on IEEE 1394 bus.
+
+The main purpose of these interfaces is to access address space on each node
+on IEEE 1394 bus by ISO/IEC 13213 (IEEE 1212) procedure, and to control
+isochronous resources on the bus by IEEE 1394 procedure.
+
+Two types of interfaces are added, according to consumers of the interface. A
+set of userspace interfaces is available via `firewire character devices`. A set
+of kernel interfaces is available via exported symbols in `firewire-core` module.

+Arrays of pins
+--------------
+In addition to requesting pins belonging to a function one by one, a device may
+also request an array of pins assigned to the function. The way those pins are
+mapped to the device determines if the array qualifies for fast bitmap
+processing. If yes, a bitmap is passed over get/set array functions directly
+between a caller and a respective .get/set_multiple() callback of a GPIO chip.
+
+In order to qualify for fast bitmap processing, the array must meet the
+following requirements:

+============================
+PCI Peer-to-Peer DMA Support
+============================
+
+The PCI bus has pretty decent support for performing DMA transfers
+between two devices on the bus. This type of transaction is henceforth
+called Peer-to-Peer (or P2P). However, there are a number of issues that
+make P2P transactions tricky to do in a perfectly safe way.
+
+One of the biggest issues is that PCI doesn't require forwarding
+transactions between hierarchy domains, and in PCIe, each Root Port
+defines a separate hierarchy domain. To make things worse, there is no
+simple way to determine if a given Root Complex supports this or not.
+(See PCIe r4.0, sec 1.3.1). Therefore, as of this writing, the kernel
+only supports doing P2P when the endpoints involved are all behind the
+same PCI bridge, as such devices are all in the same PCI hierarchy
+domain, and the spec guarantees that all transactions within the
+hierarchy will be routable, but it does not require routing
+between hierarchies.
+
+The second issue is that to make use of existing interfaces in Linux,
+memory that is used for P2P transactions needs to be backed by struct
+pages. However, PCI BARs are not typically cache coherent so there are
+a few corner case gotchas with these pages so developers need to
+be careful about what they do with them.
+
+
+Driver Writer's Guide
+=====================
+
+In a given P2P implementation there may be three or more different
+types of kernel drivers in play:
+
+* Provider - A driver which provides or publishes P2P resources like
+ memory or doorbell registers to other drivers.
+* Client - A driver which makes use of a resource by setting up a
+ DMA transaction to or from it.
+* Orchestrator - A driver which orchestrates the flow of data between
+ clients and providers.
+
+In many cases there could be overlap between these three types (i.e.,
+it may be typical for a driver to be both a provider and a client).
+
+For example, in the NVMe Target Copy Offload implementation:
+
+* The NVMe PCI driver is both a client, provider and orchestrator
+ in that it exposes any CMB (Controller Memory Buffer) as a P2P memory
+ resource (provider), it accepts P2P memory pages as buffers in requests
+ to be used directly (client) and it can also make use of the CMB as
+ submission queue entries (orchastrator).
+* The RDMA driver is a client in this arrangement so that an RNIC
+ can DMA directly to the memory exposed by the NVMe device.
+* The NVMe Target driver (nvmet) can orchestrate the data from the RNIC
+ to the P2P memory (CMB) and then to the NVMe device (and vice versa).
+
+This is currently the only arrangement supported by the kernel but
+one could imagine slight tweaks to this that would allow for the same
+functionality. For example, if a specific RNIC added a BAR with some
+memory behind it, its driver could add support as a P2P provider and
+then the NVMe Target could use the RNIC's memory instead of the CMB
+in cases where the NVMe cards in use do not have CMB support.
+
+
+Provider Drivers
+----------------
+
+A provider simply needs to register a BAR (or a portion of a BAR)
+as a P2P DMA resource using :c:func:`pci_p2pdma_add_resource()`.
+This will register struct pages for all the specified memory.
+
+After that it may optionally publish all of its resources as
+P2P memory using :c:func:`pci_p2pmem_publish()`. This will allow
+any orchestrator drivers to find and use the memory. When marked in
+this way, the resource must be regular memory with no side effects.
+
+For the time being this is fairly rudimentary in that all resources
+are typically going to be P2P memory. Future work will likely expand
+this to include other types of resources like doorbells.
+
+
+Client Drivers
+--------------
+
+A client driver typically only has to conditionally change its DMA map
+routine to use the mapping function :c:func:`pci_p2pdma_map_sg()` instead
+of the usual :c:func:`dma_map_sg()` function. Memory mapped in this
+way does not need to be unmapped.
+
+The client may also, optionally, make use of
+:c:func:`is_pci_p2pdma_page()` to determine when to use the P2P mapping
+functions and when to use the regular mapping functions. In some
+situations, it may be more appropriate to use a flag to indicate a
+given request is P2P memory and map appropriately. It is important to
+ensure that struct pages that back P2P memory stay out of code that
+does not have support for them as other code may treat the pages as
+regular memory which may not be appropriate.
+
+
+Orchestrator Drivers
+--------------------
+
+The first task an orchestrator driver must do is compile a list of
+all client devices that will be involved in a given transaction. For
+example, the NVMe Target driver creates a list including the namespace
+block device and the RNIC in use. If the orchestrator has access to
+a specific P2P provider to use it may check compatibility using
+:c:func:`pci_p2pdma_distance()` otherwise it may find a memory provider
+that's compatible with all clients using :c:func:`pci_p2pmem_find()`.
+If more than one provider is supported, the one nearest to all the clients will
+be chosen first. If more than one provider is an equal distance away, the
+one returned will be chosen at random (it is not an arbitrary but
+truely random). This function returns the PCI device to use for the provider
+with a reference taken and therefore when it's no longer needed it should be
+returned with pci_dev_put().
+
+Once a provider is selected, the orchestrator can then use
+:c:func:`pci_alloc_p2pmem()` and :c:func:`pci_free_p2pmem()` to
+allocate P2P memory from the provider. :c:func:`pci_p2pmem_alloc_sgl()`
+and :c:func:`pci_p2pmem_free_sgl()` are convenience functions for
+allocating scatter-gather lists with P2P memory.
+
+Struct Page Caveats
+-------------------
+
+Driver writers should be very careful about not passing these special
+struct pages to code that isn't prepared for it. At this time, the kernel
+interfaces do not have any checks for ensuring this. This obviously
+precludes passing these pages to userspace.
+
+P2P memory is also technically IO memory but should never have any side
+effects behind it. Thus, the order of loads and stores should not be important
+and ioreadX(), iowriteX() and friends should not be necessary.
+However, as the memory is not cache coherent, if access ever needs to
+be protected by a spinlock then :c:func:`mmiowb()` must be used before
+unlocking the lock. (See ACQUIRES VS I/O ACCESSES in
+Documentation/memory-barriers.txt)

-========================
-General Information
-========================
-
-Ext4 is an advanced level of the ext3 filesystem which incorporates
-scalability and reliability enhancements for supporting large filesystems
-(64 bit) in keeping with increasing disk capacities and state-of-the-art
-feature requirements.
-
-Mailing list: linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org
-Web site: http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org
-
-
-Quick usage instructions
-========================
-
-Note: More extensive information for getting started with ext4 can be
-found at the ext4 wiki site at the URL:
-http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto
-
- - The latest version of e2fsprogs can be found at:
-
- https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tytso/e2fsprogs/
-
- or
-
- http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2406
-
- or grab the latest git repository from:
-
- https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git
-
- - Create a new filesystem using the ext4 filesystem type:
-
- # mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/hda1
-
- Or to configure an existing ext3 filesystem to support extents:
-
- # tune2fs -O extents /dev/hda1
-
- If the filesystem was created with 128 byte inodes, it can be
- converted to use 256 byte for greater efficiency via:
-
- # tune2fs -I 256 /dev/hda1
-
- - Mounting:
-
- # mount -t ext4 /dev/hda1 /wherever
-
- - When comparing performance with other filesystems, it's always
- important to try multiple workloads; very often a subtle change in a
- workload parameter can completely change the ranking of which
- filesystems do well compared to others. When comparing versus ext3,
- note that ext4 enables write barriers by default, while ext3 does
- not enable write barriers by default. So it is useful to use
- explicitly specify whether barriers are enabled or not when via the
- '-o barriers=[0|1]' mount option for both ext3 and ext4 filesystems
- for a fair comparison. When tuning ext3 for best benchmark numbers,
- it is often worthwhile to try changing the data journaling mode; '-o
- data=writeback' can be faster for some workloads. (Note however that
- running mounted with data=writeback can potentially leave stale data
- exposed in recently written files in case of an unclean shutdown,
- which could be a security exposure in some situations.) Configuring
- the filesystem with a large journal can also be helpful for
- metadata-intensive workloads.
-
-Features
-========
-
-Currently Available
--------------------
-
-* ability to use filesystems > 16TB (e2fsprogs support not available yet)
-* extent format reduces metadata overhead (RAM, IO for access, transactions)
-* extent format more robust in face of on-disk corruption due to magics,
-* internal redundancy in tree
-* improved file allocation (multi-block alloc)
-* lift 32000 subdirectory limit imposed by i_links_count[1]
-* nsec timestamps for mtime, atime, ctime, create time
-* inode version field on disk (NFSv4, Lustre)
-* reduced e2fsck time via uninit_bg feature
-* journal checksumming for robustness, performance
-* persistent file preallocation (e.g for streaming media, databases)
-* ability to pack bitmaps and inode tables into larger virtual groups via the
- flex_bg feature
-* large file support
-* inode allocation using large virtual block groups via flex_bg
-* delayed allocation
-* large block (up to pagesize) support
-* efficient new ordered mode in JBD2 and ext4 (avoid using buffer head to force
- the ordering)
-
-[1] Filesystems with a block size of 1k may see a limit imposed by the
-directory hash tree having a maximum depth of two.

-Options
-=======
-
-When mounting an ext4 filesystem, the following option are accepted:
-(*) == default
-
-======================= =======================================================
-Mount Option Description
-======================= =======================================================
-ro Mount filesystem read only. Note that ext4 will
- replay the journal (and thus write to the
- partition) even when mounted "read only". The
- mount options "ro,noload" can be used to prevent
- writes to the filesystem.
-
-journal_checksum Enable checksumming of the journal transactions.
- This will allow the recovery code in e2fsck and the
- kernel to detect corruption in the kernel. It is a
- compatible change and will be ignored by older kernels.
-
-journal_async_commit Commit block can be written to disk without waiting
- for descriptor blocks. If enabled older kernels cannot
- mount the device. This will enable 'journal_checksum'
- internally.
-
-journal_path=path
-journal_dev=devnum When the external journal device's major/minor numbers
- have changed, these options allow the user to specify
- the new journal location. The journal device is
- identified through either its new major/minor numbers
- encoded in devnum, or via a path to the device.
-
-norecovery Don't load the journal on mounting. Note that
-noload if the filesystem was not unmounted cleanly,
- skipping the journal replay will lead to the
- filesystem containing inconsistencies that can
- lead to any number of problems.
-
-data=journal All data are committed into the journal prior to being
- written into the main file system. Enabling
- this mode will disable delayed allocation and
- O_DIRECT support.
-
-data=ordered (*) All data are forced directly out to the main file
- system prior to its metadata being committed to the
- journal.
-
-data=writeback Data ordering is not preserved, data may be written
- into the main file system after its metadata has been
- committed to the journal.
-
-commit=nrsec (*) Ext4 can be told to sync all its data and metadata
- every 'nrsec' seconds. The default value is 5 seconds.
- This means that if you lose your power, you will lose
- as much as the latest 5 seconds of work (your
- filesystem will not be damaged though, thanks to the
- journaling). This default value (or any low value)
- will hurt performance, but it's good for data-safety.
- Setting it to 0 will have the same effect as leaving
- it at the default (5 seconds).
- Setting it to very large values will improve
- performance.
-
-barrier=<0|1(*)> This enables/disables the use of write barriers in
-barrier(*) the jbd code. barrier=0 disables, barrier=1 enables.
-nobarrier This also requires an IO stack which can support
- barriers, and if jbd gets an error on a barrier
- write, it will disable again with a warning.
- Write barriers enforce proper on-disk ordering
- of journal commits, making volatile disk write caches
- safe to use, at some performance penalty. If
- your disks are battery-backed in one way or another,
- disabling barriers may safely improve performance.
- The mount options "barrier" and "nobarrier" can
- also be used to enable or disable barriers, for
- consistency with other ext4 mount options.
-
-inode_readahead_blks=n This tuning parameter controls the maximum
- number of inode table blocks that ext4's inode
- table readahead algorithm will pre-read into
- the buffer cache. The default value is 32 blocks.
-
-nouser_xattr Disables Extended User Attributes. See the
- attr(5) manual page for more information about
- extended attributes.
-
-noacl This option disables POSIX Access Control List
- support. If ACL support is enabled in the kernel
- configuration (CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL), ACL is
- enabled by default on mount. See the acl(5) manual
- page for more information about acl.
-
-bsddf (*) Make 'df' act like BSD.
-minixdf Make 'df' act like Minix.
-
-debug Extra debugging information is sent to syslog.
-
-abort Simulate the effects of calling ext4_abort() for
- debugging purposes. This is normally used while
- remounting a filesystem which is already mounted.
-
-errors=remount-ro Remount the filesystem read-only on an error.
-errors=continue Keep going on a filesystem error.
-errors=panic Panic and halt the machine if an error occurs.
- (These mount options override the errors behavior
- specified in the superblock, which can be configured
- using tune2fs)
-
-data_err=ignore(*) Just print an error message if an error occurs
- in a file data buffer in ordered mode.
-data_err=abort Abort the journal if an error occurs in a file
- data buffer in ordered mode.
-
-grpid New objects have the group ID of their parent.
-bsdgroups
-
-nogrpid (*) New objects have the group ID of their creator.
-sysvgroups
-
-resgid=n The group ID which may use the reserved blocks.
-
-resuid=n The user ID which may use the reserved blocks.
-
-sb=n Use alternate superblock at this location.
-
-quota These options are ignored by the filesystem. They
-noquota are used only by quota tools to recognize volumes
-grpquota where quota should be turned on. See documentation
-usrquota in the quota-tools package for more details
- (http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxquota).
-
-jqfmt=<quota type> These options tell filesystem details about quota
-usrjquota=<file> so that quota information can be properly updated
-grpjquota=<file> during journal replay. They replace the above
- quota options. See documentation in the quota-tools
- package for more details
- (http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxquota).
-
-stripe=n Number of filesystem blocks that mballoc will try
- to use for allocation size and alignment. For RAID5/6
- systems this should be the number of data
- disks * RAID chunk size in file system blocks.
-
-delalloc (*) Defer block allocation until just before ext4
- writes out the block(s) in question. This
- allows ext4 to better allocation decisions
- more efficiently.
-nodelalloc Disable delayed allocation. Blocks are allocated
- when the data is copied from userspace to the
- page cache, either via the write(2) system call
- or when an mmap'ed page which was previously
- unallocated is written for the first time.
-
-max_batch_time=usec Maximum amount of time ext4 should wait for
- additional filesystem operations to be batch
- together with a synchronous write operation.
- Since a synchronous write operation is going to
- force a commit and then a wait for the I/O
- complete, it doesn't cost much, and can be a
- huge throughput win, we wait for a small amount
- of time to see if any other transactions can
- piggyback on the synchronous write. The
- algorithm used is designed to automatically tune
- for the speed of the disk, by measuring the
- amount of time (on average) that it takes to
- finish committing a transaction. Call this time
- the "commit time". If the time that the
- transaction has been running is less than the
- commit time, ext4 will try sleeping for the
- commit time to see if other operations will join
- the transaction. The commit time is capped by
- the max_batch_time, which defaults to 15000us
- (15ms). This optimization can be turned off
- entirely by setting max_batch_time to 0.
-
-min_batch_time=usec This parameter sets the commit time (as
- described above) to be at least min_batch_time.
- It defaults to zero microseconds. Increasing
- this parameter may improve the throughput of
- multi-threaded, synchronous workloads on very
- fast disks, at the cost of increasing latency.
-
-journal_ioprio=prio The I/O priority (from 0 to 7, where 0 is the
- highest priority) which should be used for I/O
- operations submitted by kjournald2 during a
- commit operation. This defaults to 3, which is
- a slightly higher priority than the default I/O
- priority.
-
-auto_da_alloc(*) Many broken applications don't use fsync() when
-noauto_da_alloc replacing existing files via patterns such as
- fd = open("foo.new")/write(fd,..)/close(fd)/
- rename("foo.new", "foo"), or worse yet,
- fd = open("foo", O_TRUNC)/write(fd,..)/close(fd).
- If auto_da_alloc is enabled, ext4 will detect
- the replace-via-rename and replace-via-truncate
- patterns and force that any delayed allocation
- blocks are allocated such that at the next
- journal commit, in the default data=ordered
- mode, the data blocks of the new file are forced
- to disk before the rename() operation is
- committed. This provides roughly the same level
- of guarantees as ext3, and avoids the
- "zero-length" problem that can happen when a
- system crashes before the delayed allocation
- blocks are forced to disk.
-
-noinit_itable Do not initialize any uninitialized inode table
- blocks in the background. This feature may be
- used by installation CD's so that the install
- process can complete as quickly as possible; the
- inode table initialization process would then be
- deferred until the next time the file system
- is unmounted.
-
-init_itable=n The lazy itable init code will wait n times the
- number of milliseconds it took to zero out the
- previous block group's inode table. This
- minimizes the impact on the system performance
- while file system's inode table is being initialized.
-
-discard Controls whether ext4 should issue discard/TRIM
-nodiscard(*) commands to the underlying block device when
- blocks are freed. This is useful for SSD devices
- and sparse/thinly-provisioned LUNs, but it is off
- by default until sufficient testing has been done.
-
-nouid32 Disables 32-bit UIDs and GIDs. This is for
- interoperability with older kernels which only
- store and expect 16-bit values.
-
-block_validity(*) These options enable or disable the in-kernel
-noblock_validity facility for tracking filesystem metadata blocks
- within internal data structures. This allows multi-
- block allocator and other routines to notice
- bugs or corrupted allocation bitmaps which cause
- blocks to be allocated which overlap with
- filesystem metadata blocks.
-
-dioread_lock Controls whether or not ext4 should use the DIO read
-dioread_nolock locking. If the dioread_nolock option is specified
- ext4 will allocate uninitialized extent before buffer
- write and convert the extent to initialized after IO
- completes. This approach allows ext4 code to avoid
- using inode mutex, which improves scalability on high
- speed storages. However this does not work with
- data journaling and dioread_nolock option will be
- ignored with kernel warning. Note that dioread_nolock
- code path is only used for extent-based files.
- Because of the restrictions this options comprises
- it is off by default (e.g. dioread_lock).
-
-max_dir_size_kb=n This limits the size of directories so that any
- attempt to expand them beyond the specified
- limit in kilobytes will cause an ENOSPC error.
- This is useful in memory constrained
- environments, where a very large directory can
- cause severe performance problems or even
- provoke the Out Of Memory killer. (For example,
- if there is only 512mb memory available, a 176mb
- directory may seriously cramp the system's style.)
-
-i_version Enable 64-bit inode version support. This option is
- off by default.
-
-dax Use direct access (no page cache). See
- Documentation/filesystems/dax.txt. Note that
- this option is incompatible with data=journal.
-======================= =======================================================
-
-Data Mode
-=========
-There are 3 different data modes:
-
-* writeback mode
-
- In data=writeback mode, ext4 does not journal data at all. This mode provides
- a similar level of journaling as that of XFS, JFS, and ReiserFS in its default
- mode - metadata journaling. A crash+recovery can cause incorrect data to
- appear in files which were written shortly before the crash. This mode will
- typically provide the best ext4 performance.
-
-* ordered mode
-
- In data=ordered mode, ext4 only officially journals metadata, but it logically
- groups metadata information related to data changes with the data blocks into
- a single unit called a transaction. When it's time to write the new metadata
- out to disk, the associated data blocks are written first. In general, this
- mode performs slightly slower than writeback but significantly faster than
- journal mode.
-
-* journal mode
-
- data=journal mode provides full data and metadata journaling. All new data is
- written to the journal first, and then to its final location. In the event of
- a crash, the journal can be replayed, bringing both data and metadata into a
- consistent state. This mode is the slowest except when data needs to be read
- from and written to disk at the same time where it outperforms all others
- modes. Enabling this mode will disable delayed allocation and O_DIRECT
- support.

- delayed_allocation_blocks This file is read-only and shows the number of
- blocks that are dirty in the page cache, but
- which do not have their location in the
- filesystem allocated yet.
-
-inode_goal Tuning parameter which (if non-zero) controls
- the goal inode used by the inode allocator in
- preference to all other allocation heuristics.
- This is intended for debugging use only, and
- should be 0 on production systems.
-
-inode_readahead_blks Tuning parameter which controls the maximum
- number of inode table blocks that ext4's inode
- table readahead algorithm will pre-read into
- the buffer cache
-
-lifetime_write_kbytes This file is read-only and shows the number of
- kilobytes of data that have been written to this
- filesystem since it was created.
-
- max_writeback_mb_bump The maximum number of megabytes the writeback
- code will try to write out before move on to
- another inode.
-
- mb_group_prealloc The multiblock allocator will round up allocation
- requests to a multiple of this tuning parameter if
- the stripe size is not set in the ext4 superblock
-
- mb_max_to_scan The maximum number of extents the multiblock
- allocator will search to find the best extent
-
- mb_min_to_scan The minimum number of extents the multiblock
- allocator will search to find the best extent
-
- mb_order2_req Tuning parameter which controls the minimum size
- for requests (as a power of 2) where the buddy
- cache is used
-
- mb_stats Controls whether the multiblock allocator should
- collect statistics, which are shown during the
- unmount. 1 means to collect statistics, 0 means
- not to collect statistics
-
- mb_stream_req Files which have fewer blocks than this tunable
- parameter will have their blocks allocated out
- of a block group specific preallocation pool, so
- that small files are packed closely together.
- Each large file will have its blocks allocated
- out of its own unique preallocation pool.
-
- session_write_kbytes This file is read-only and shows the number of
- kilobytes of data that have been written to this
- filesystem since it was mounted.
-
- reserved_clusters This is RW file and contains number of reserved
- clusters in the file system which will be used
- in the specific situations to avoid costly
- zeroout, unexpected ENOSPC, or possible data
- loss. The default is 2% or 4096 clusters,
- whichever is smaller and this can be changed
- however it can never exceed number of clusters
- in the file system. If there is not enough space
- for the reserved space when mounting the file
- mount will _not_ fail.

-Ioctls
-======
-
-There is some Ext4 specific functionality which can be accessed by applications
-through the system call interfaces. The list of all Ext4 specific ioctls are
-shown in the table below.
-
-Table of Ext4 specific ioctls
-
-============================= =================================================
-Ioctl Description
-============================= =================================================
- EXT4_IOC_GETFLAGS Get additional attributes associated with inode.
- The ioctl argument is an integer bitfield, with
- bit values described in ext4.h. This ioctl is an
- alias for FS_IOC_GETFLAGS.
-
- EXT4_IOC_SETFLAGS Set additional attributes associated with inode.
- The ioctl argument is an integer bitfield, with
- bit values described in ext4.h. This ioctl is an
- alias for FS_IOC_SETFLAGS.
-
- EXT4_IOC_GETVERSION
- EXT4_IOC_GETVERSION_OLD
- Get the inode i_generation number stored for
- each inode. The i_generation number is normally
- changed only when new inode is created and it is
- particularly useful for network filesystems. The
- '_OLD' version of this ioctl is an alias for
- FS_IOC_GETVERSION.
-
- EXT4_IOC_SETVERSION
- EXT4_IOC_SETVERSION_OLD
- Set the inode i_generation number stored for
- each inode. The '_OLD' version of this ioctl
- is an alias for FS_IOC_SETVERSION.
-
- EXT4_IOC_GROUP_EXTEND This ioctl has the same purpose as the resize
- mount option. It allows to resize filesystem
- to the end of the last existing block group,
- further resize has to be done with resize2fs,
- either online, or offline. The argument points
- to the unsigned logn number representing the
- filesystem new block count.
-
- EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT Move the block extents from orig_fd (the one
- this ioctl is pointing to) to the donor_fd (the
- one specified in move_extent structure passed
- as an argument to this ioctl). Then, exchange
- inode metadata between orig_fd and donor_fd.
- This is especially useful for online
- defragmentation, because the allocator has the
- opportunity to allocate moved blocks better,
- ideally into one contiguous extent.
-
- EXT4_IOC_GROUP_ADD Add a new group descriptor to an existing or
- new group descriptor block. The new group
- descriptor is described by ext4_new_group_input
- structure, which is passed as an argument to
- this ioctl. This is especially useful in
- conjunction with EXT4_IOC_GROUP_EXTEND,
- which allows online resize of the filesystem
- to the end of the last existing block group.
- Those two ioctls combined is used in userspace
- online resize tool (e.g. resize2fs).
-
- EXT4_IOC_MIGRATE This ioctl operates on the filesystem itself.
- It converts (migrates) ext3 indirect block mapped
- inode to ext4 extent mapped inode by walking
- through indirect block mapping of the original
- inode and converting contiguous block ranges
- into ext4 extents of the temporary inode. Then,
- inodes are swapped. This ioctl might help, when
- migrating from ext3 to ext4 filesystem, however
- suggestion is to create fresh ext4 filesystem
- and copy data from the backup. Note, that
- filesystem has to support extents for this ioctl
- to work.
-
- EXT4_IOC_ALLOC_DA_BLKS Force all of the delay allocated blocks to be
- allocated to preserve application-expected ext3
- behaviour. Note that this will also start
- triggering a write of the data blocks, but this
- behaviour may change in the future as it is
- not necessary and has been done this way only
- for sake of simplicity.
-
- EXT4_IOC_RESIZE_FS Resize the filesystem to a new size. The number
- of blocks of resized filesystem is passed in via
- 64 bit integer argument. The kernel allocates
- bitmaps and inode table, the userspace tool thus
- just passes the new number of blocks.
-
- EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT Swap i_blocks and associated attributes
- (like i_blocks, i_size, i_flags, ...) from
- the specified inode with inode
- EXT4_BOOT_LOADER_INO (#5). This is typically
- used to store a boot loader in a secure part of
- the filesystem, where it can't be changed by a
- normal user by accident.
- The data blocks of the previous boot loader
- will be associated with the given inode.

It is strongly recommended to use AES-256-XTS for contents encryption.
AES-128-CBC was added only for low-powered embedded devices with

-About this document
-===================
-
-Some notes about Marvell's NAND controller available in PXA and Armada 370/XP
-SoC (aka NFCv1 and NFCv2), with an emphasis on the latter.
-
-NFCv2 controller background
-===========================
-
-The controller has a 2176 bytes FIFO buffer. Therefore, in order to support
-larger pages, I/O operations on 4 KiB and 8 KiB pages is done with a set of
-chunked transfers.
-
-For instance, if we choose a 2048 data chunk and set "BCH" ECC (see below)
-we'll have this layout in the pages:
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- | 2048B data | 32B spare | 30B ECC || 2048B data | 32B spare | 30B ECC | ... |
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The driver reads the data and spare portions independently and builds an internal
-buffer with this layout (in the 4 KiB page case):
-
- ------------------------------------------
- | 4096B data | 64B spare |
- ------------------------------------------
-
-Also, for the READOOB command the driver disables the ECC and reads a 'spare + ECC'
-OOB, one per chunk read.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- | 4096B data | 32B spare | 30B ECC | 32B spare | 30B ECC |
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-So, in order to achieve reading (for instance), we issue several READ0 commands
-(with some additional controller-specific magic) and read two chunks of 2080B
-(2048 data + 32 spare) each.
-The driver accommodates this data to expose the NAND core a contiguous buffer
-(4096 data + spare) or (4096 + spare + ECC + spare + ECC).
-
-ECC
-===
-
-The controller has built-in hardware ECC capabilities. In addition it is
-configurable between two modes: 1) Hamming, 2) BCH.
-
-Note that the actual BCH mode: BCH-4 or BCH-8 will depend on the way
-the controller is configured to transfer the data.
-
-In the BCH mode the ECC code will be calculated for each transferred chunk
-and expected to be located (when reading/programming) right after the spare
-bytes as the figure above shows.
-
-So, repeating the above scheme, a 2048B data chunk will be followed by 32B
-spare, and then the ECC controller will read/write the ECC code (30B in
-this case):
-
- ------------------------------------
- | 2048B data | 32B spare | 30B ECC |
- ------------------------------------
-
-If the ECC mode is 'BCH' then the ECC is *always* 30 bytes long.
-If the ECC mode is 'Hamming' the ECC is 6 bytes long, for each 512B block.
-So in Hamming mode, a 2048B page will have a 24B ECC.
-
-Despite all of the above, the controller requires the driver to only read or
-write in multiples of 8-bytes, because the data buffer is 64-bits.
-
-OOB
-===
-
-Because of the above scheme, and because the "spare" OOB is really located in
-the middle of a page, spare OOB cannot be read or write independently of the
-data area. In other words, in order to read the OOB (aka READOOB), the entire
-page (aka READ0) has to be read.
-
-In the same sense, in order to write to the spare OOB the driver has to write
-an *entire* page.
-
-Factory bad blocks handling
-===========================
-
-Given the ECC BCH requires to layout the device's pages in a split
-data/OOB/data/OOB way, the controller has a view of the flash page that's
-different from the specified (aka the manufacturer's) view. In other words,
-
-Factory view:
-
- -----------------------------------------------
- | Data |x OOB |
- -----------------------------------------------
-
-Driver's view:
-
- -----------------------------------------------
- | Data | OOB | Data x | OOB |
- -----------------------------------------------
-
-It can be seen from the above, that the factory bad block marker must be
-searched within the 'data' region, and not in the usual OOB region.
-
-In addition, this means under regular usage the driver will write such
-position (since it belongs to the data region) and every used block is
-likely to be marked as bad.
-
-For this reason, marking the block as bad in the OOB is explicitly
-disabled by using the NAND_BBT_NO_OOB_BBM option in the driver. The rationale
-for this is that there's no point in marking a block as bad, because good
-blocks are also 'marked as bad' (in the OOB BBM sense) under normal usage.
-
-Instead, the driver relies on the bad block table alone, and should only perform
-the bad block scan on the very first time (when the device hasn't been used).

+Notes on the DEC FDDIcontroller 700 (DEFZA-xx) driver v.1.1.4.
+
+
+DEC FDDIcontroller 700 is DEC's first-generation TURBOchannel FDDI
+network card, designed in 1990 specifically for the DECstation 5000
+model 200 workstation. The board is a single attachment station and
+it was manufactured in two variations, both of which are supported.
+
+First is the SAS MMF DEFZA-AA option, the original design implementing
+the standard MMF-PMD, however with a pair of ST connectors rather than
+the usual MIC connector. The other one is the SAS ThinWire/STP DEFZA-CA
+option, denoted 700-C, with the network medium selectable by a switch
+between the DEC proprietary ThinWire-PMD using a BNC connector and the
+standard STP-PMD using a DE-9F connector. This option can interface to
+a DECconcentrator 500 device and, in the case of the STP-PMD, also other
+FDDI equipment and was designed to make it easier to transition from
+existing IEEE 802.3 10BASE2 Ethernet and IEEE 802.5 Token Ring networks
+by providing means to reuse existing cabling.
+
+This driver handles any number of cards installed in a single system.
+They get fddi0, fddi1, etc. interface names assigned in the order of
+increasing TURBOchannel slot numbers.
+
+The board only supports DMA on the receive side. Transmission involves
+the use of PIO. As a result under a heavy transmission load there will
+be a significant impact on system performance.
+
+The board supports a 64-entry CAM for matching destination addresses.
+Two entries are preoccupied by the Directed Beacon and Ring Purger
+multicast addresses and the rest is used as a multicast filter. An
+all-multi mode is also supported for LLC frames and it is used if
+requested explicitly or if the CAM overflows. The promiscuous mode
+supports separate enables for LLC and SMT frames, but this driver
+doesn't support changing them individually.
+
+
+Known problems:
+
+None.
+
+
+To do:
+
+5. MAC address change. The card does not support changing the Media
+ Access Controller's address registers but a similar effect can be
+ achieved by adding an alias to the CAM. There is no way to disable
+ matching against the original address though.
+
+7. Queueing incoming/outgoing SMT frames in the driver if the SMT
+ receive/RMC transmit ring is full. (?)
+
+8. Retrieving/reporting FDDI/SNMP stats.
+
+
+Both success and failure reports are welcome.

+DPAA2 Ethernet driver
+===============================
+
+:Copyright: |copy| 2017-2018 NXP
+
+This file provides documentation for the Freescale DPAA2 Ethernet driver.
+
+Supported Platforms
+===================
+This driver provides networking support for Freescale DPAA2 SoCs, e.g.
+LS2080A, LS2088A, LS1088A.
+
+
+Architecture Overview
+=====================
+Unlike regular NICs, in the DPAA2 architecture there is no single hardware block
+representing network interfaces; instead, several separate hardware resources
+concur to provide the networking functionality:
+
+- network interfaces
+- queues, channels
+- buffer pools
+- MAC/PHY
+
+All hardware resources are allocated and configured through the Management
+Complex (MC) portals. MC abstracts most of these resources as DPAA2 objects
+and exposes ABIs through which they can be configured and controlled. A few
+hardware resources, like queues, do not have a corresponding MC object and
+are treated as internal resources of other objects.
+
+For a more detailed description of the DPAA2 architecture and its object
+abstractions see *Documentation/networking/dpaa2/overview.rst*.
+
+Each Linux net device is built on top of a Datapath Network Interface (DPNI)
+object and uses Buffer Pools (DPBPs), I/O Portals (DPIOs) and Concentrators
+(DPCONs).
+

+The DPNIs are network interfaces without a direct one-on-one mapping to PHYs.
+DPBPs represent hardware buffer pools. Packet I/O is performed in the context
+of DPCON objects, using DPIO portals for managing and communicating with the
+hardware resources.

+ =======================
+ Channel
+
+Datapath I/O (DPIO) portals provide enqueue and dequeue services, data
+availability notifications and buffer pool management. DPIOs are shared between
+all DPAA2 objects (and implicitly all DPAA2 kernel drivers) that work with data
+frames, but must be affine to the CPUs for the purpose of traffic distribution.
+
+Frames are transmitted and received through hardware frame queues, which can be
+grouped in channels for the purpose of hardware scheduling. The Ethernet driver
+enqueues TX frames on egress queues and after transmission is complete a TX
+confirmation frame is sent back to the CPU.
+
+When frames are available on ingress queues, a data availability notification
+is sent to the CPU; notifications are raised per channel, so even if multiple
+queues in the same channel have available frames, only one notification is sent.
+After a channel fires a notification, is must be explicitly rearmed.
+
+Each network interface can have multiple Rx, Tx and confirmation queues affined
+to CPUs, and one channel (DPCON) for each CPU that services at least one queue.
+DPCONs are used to distribute ingress traffic to different CPUs via the cores'
+affine DPIOs.
+
+The role of hardware buffer pools is storage of ingress frame data. Each network
+interface has a privately owned buffer pool which it seeds with kernel allocated
+buffers.
+
+
+DPNIs are decoupled from PHYs; a DPNI can be connected to a PHY through a DPMAC
+object or to another DPNI through an internal link, but the connection is
+managed by MC and completely transparent to the Ethernet driver.

+
+Creating a Network Interface
+============================
+A net device is created for each DPNI object probed on the MC bus. Each DPNI has
+a number of properties which determine the network interface configuration
+options and associated hardware resources.
+
+DPNI objects (and the other DPAA2 objects needed for a network interface) can be
+added to a container on the MC bus in one of two ways: statically, through a
+Datapath Layout Binary file (DPL) that is parsed by MC at boot time; or created
+dynamically at runtime, via the DPAA2 objects APIs.
+
+
+Features & Offloads
+===================
+Hardware checksum offloading is supported for TCP and UDP over IPv4/6 frames.
+The checksum offloads can be independently configured on RX and TX through
+ethtool.
+
+Hardware offload of unicast and multicast MAC filtering is supported on the
+ingress path and permanently enabled.
+
+Scatter-gather frames are supported on both RX and TX paths. On TX, SG support
+is configurable via ethtool; on RX it is always enabled.
+
+The DPAA2 hardware can process jumbo Ethernet frames of up to 10K bytes.
+
+The Ethernet driver defines a static flow hashing scheme that distributes
+traffic based on a 5-tuple key: src IP, dst IP, IP proto, L4 src port,
+L4 dst port. No user configuration is supported for now.
+
+Hardware specific statistics for the network interface as well as some
+non-standard driver stats can be consulted through ethtool -S option.

+Identifying Your Adapter
+========================
+For information on how to identify your adapter, and for the latest Intel
+network drivers, refer to the Intel Support website:
+https://www.intel.com/support
+
+
+Command Line Parameters
+=======================
+If the driver is built as a module, the following optional parameters are used
+by entering them on the command line with the modprobe command using this
+syntax::
+
+ modprobe e1000e [<option>=<VAL1>,<VAL2>,...]
+
+There needs to be a <VAL#> for each network port in the system supported by
+this driver. The values will be applied to each instance, in function order.
+For example::
+
+ modprobe e1000e InterruptThrottleRate=16000,16000
+
+In this case, there are two network ports supported by e1000e in the system.
+The default value for each parameter is generally the recommended setting,
+unless otherwise noted.
+
+NOTE: A descriptor describes a data buffer and attributes related to the data
+buffer. This information is accessed by the hardware.
+
+InterruptThrottleRate
+---------------------
+:Valid Range: 0,1,3,4,100-100000
+:Default Value: 3
+
+Interrupt Throttle Rate controls the number of interrupts each interrupt
+vector can generate per second. Increasing ITR lowers latency at the cost of
+increased CPU utilization, though it may help throughput in some circumstances.
+
+Setting InterruptThrottleRate to a value greater or equal to 100
+will program the adapter to send out a maximum of that many interrupts
+per second, even if more packets have come in. This reduces interrupt
+load on the system and can lower CPU utilization under heavy load,
+but will increase latency as packets are not processed as quickly.
+
+The default behaviour of the driver previously assumed a static
+InterruptThrottleRate value of 8000, providing a good fallback value for
+all traffic types, but lacking in small packet performance and latency.
+The hardware can handle many more small packets per second however, and
+for this reason an adaptive interrupt moderation algorithm was implemented.
+
+The driver has two adaptive modes (setting 1 or 3) in which
+it dynamically adjusts the InterruptThrottleRate value based on the traffic
+that it receives. After determining the type of incoming traffic in the last
+timeframe, it will adjust the InterruptThrottleRate to an appropriate value
+for that traffic.
+
+The algorithm classifies the incoming traffic every interval into
+classes. Once the class is determined, the InterruptThrottleRate value is
+adjusted to suit that traffic type the best. There are three classes defined:
+"Bulk traffic", for large amounts of packets of normal size; "Low latency",
+for small amounts of traffic and/or a significant percentage of small
+packets; and "Lowest latency", for almost completely small packets or
+minimal traffic.
+
+ - 0: Off
+ Turns off any interrupt moderation and may improve small packet latency.
+ However, this is generally not suitable for bulk throughput traffic due
+ to the increased CPU utilization of the higher interrupt rate.
+ - 1: Dynamic mode
+ This mode attempts to moderate interrupts per vector while maintaining
+ very low latency. This can sometimes cause extra CPU utilization. If
+ planning on deploying e1000e in a latency sensitive environment, this
+ parameter should be considered.
+ - 3: Dynamic Conservative mode (default)
+ In dynamic conservative mode, the InterruptThrottleRate value is set to
+ 4000 for traffic that falls in class "Bulk traffic". If traffic falls in
+ the "Low latency" or "Lowest latency" class, the InterruptThrottleRate is
+ increased stepwise to 20000. This default mode is suitable for most
+ applications.
+ - 4: Simplified Balancing mode
+ In simplified mode the interrupt rate is based on the ratio of TX and
+ RX traffic. If the bytes per second rate is approximately equal, the
+ interrupt rate will drop as low as 2000 interrupts per second. If the
+ traffic is mostly transmit or mostly receive, the interrupt rate could
+ be as high as 8000.
+ - 100-100000:
+ Setting InterruptThrottleRate to a value greater or equal to 100
+ will program the adapter to send at most that many interrupts per second,
+ even if more packets have come in. This reduces interrupt load on the
+ system and can lower CPU utilization under heavy load, but will increase
+ latency as packets are not processed as quickly.
+
+NOTE: InterruptThrottleRate takes precedence over the TxAbsIntDelay and
+RxAbsIntDelay parameters. In other words, minimizing the receive and/or
+transmit absolute delays does not force the controller to generate more
+interrupts than what the Interrupt Throttle Rate allows.
+
+RxIntDelay
+----------
+:Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off)
+:Default Value: 0
+
+This value delays the generation of receive interrupts in units of 1.024
+microseconds. Receive interrupt reduction can improve CPU efficiency if
+properly tuned for specific network traffic. Increasing this value adds extra
+latency to frame reception and can end up decreasing the throughput of TCP
+traffic. If the system is reporting dropped receives, this value may be set
+too high, causing the driver to run out of available receive descriptors.
+
+CAUTION: When setting RxIntDelay to a value other than 0, adapters may hang
+(stop transmitting) under certain network conditions. If this occurs a NETDEV
+WATCHDOG message is logged in the system event log. In addition, the
+controller is automatically reset, restoring the network connection. To
+eliminate the potential for the hang ensure that RxIntDelay is set to 0.
+
+RxAbsIntDelay
+-------------
+:Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off)
+:Default Value: 8
+
+This value, in units of 1.024 microseconds, limits the delay in which a
+receive interrupt is generated. This value ensures that an interrupt is
+generated after the initial packet is received within the set amount of time,
+which is useful only if RxIntDelay is non-zero. Proper tuning, along with
+RxIntDelay, may improve traffic throughput in specific network conditions.
+
+TxIntDelay
+----------
+:Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off)
+:Default Value: 8
+
+This value delays the generation of transmit interrupts in units of 1.024
+microseconds. Transmit interrupt reduction can improve CPU efficiency if
+properly tuned for specific network traffic. If the system is reporting
+dropped transmits, this value may be set too high causing the driver to run
+out of available transmit descriptors.
+
+TxAbsIntDelay
+-------------
+:Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off)
+:Default Value: 32
+
+This value, in units of 1.024 microseconds, limits the delay in which a
+transmit interrupt is generated. It is useful only if TxIntDelay is non-zero.
+It ensures that an interrupt is generated after the initial Packet is sent on
+the wire within the set amount of time. Proper tuning, along with TxIntDelay,
+may improve traffic throughput in specific network conditions.
+
+copybreak
+---------
+:Valid Range: 0-xxxxxxx (0=off)
+:Default Value: 256
+
+The driver copies all packets below or equaling this size to a fresh receive
+buffer before handing it up the stack.
+This parameter differs from other parameters because it is a single (not 1,1,1
+etc.) parameter applied to all driver instances and it is also available
+during runtime at /sys/module/e1000e/parameters/copybreak.
+
+To use copybreak, type::
+
+ modprobe e1000e.ko copybreak=128
+
+SmartPowerDownEnable
+--------------------
+:Valid Range: 0,1
+:Default Value: 0 (disabled)
+
+Allows the PHY to turn off in lower power states. The user can turn off this
+parameter in supported chipsets.
+
+KumeranLockLoss
+---------------
+:Valid Range: 0,1
+:Default Value: 1 (enabled)
+
+This workaround skips resetting the PHY at shutdown for the initial silicon
+releases of ICH8 systems.
+
+IntMode
+-------
+:Valid Range: 0-2
+:Default Value: 0
+
+ +-------+----------------+
+ | Value | Interrupt Mode |
+ +=======+================+
+ | 0 | Legacy |
+ +-------+----------------+
+ | 1 | MSI |
+ +-------+----------------+
+ | 2 | MSI-X |
+ +-------+----------------+
+
+IntMode allows load time control over the type of interrupt registered for by
+the driver. MSI-X is required for multiple queue support, and some kernels and
+combinations of kernel .config options will force a lower level of interrupt
+support.
+
+This command will show different values for each type of interrupt::
+
+ cat /proc/interrupts
+
+CrcStripping
+------------
+:Valid Range: 0,1
+:Default Value: 1 (enabled)
+
+Strip the CRC from received packets before sending up the network stack. If
+you have a machine with a BMC enabled but cannot receive IPMI traffic after
+loading or enabling the driver, try disabling this feature.
+
+WriteProtectNVM
+---------------
+:Valid Range: 0,1
+:Default Value: 1 (enabled)
+
+If set to 1, configure the hardware to ignore all write/erase cycles to the
+GbE region in the ICHx NVM (in order to prevent accidental corruption of the
+NVM). This feature can be disabled by setting the parameter to 0 during initial
+driver load.
+
+NOTE: The machine must be power cycled (full off/on) when enabling NVM writes
+via setting the parameter to zero. Once the NVM has been locked (via the
+parameter at 1 when the driver loads) it cannot be unlocked except via power
+cycle.
+
+Debug
+-----
+:Valid Range: 0-16 (0=none,...,16=all)
+:Default Value: 0
+
+This parameter adjusts the level of debug messages displayed in the system logs.
+
+
+Additional Features and Configurations
+======================================
+
+Jumbo Frames
+------------
+Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
+to a value larger than the default value of 1500.
+
+Use the ifconfig command to increase the MTU size. For example, enter the
+following where <x> is the interface number::
+
+ ifconfig eth<x> mtu 9000 up
+
+Alternatively, you can use the ip command as follows::
+
+ ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth<x>
+ ip link set up dev eth<x>
+
+This setting is not saved across reboots. The setting change can be made
+permanent by adding 'MTU=9000' to the file:
+
+- For RHEL: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<x>
+- For SLES: /etc/sysconfig/network/<config_file>
+
+NOTE: The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 8996. This value coincides
+with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 9018 bytes.
+
+NOTE: Using Jumbo frames at 10 or 100 Mbps is not supported and may result in
+poor performance or loss of link.
+
+NOTE: The following adapters limit Jumbo Frames sized packets to a maximum of
+4088 bytes:
+
+ - Intel(R) 82578DM Gigabit Network Connection
+ - Intel(R) 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection
+
+The following adapters do not support Jumbo Frames:
+
+ - Intel(R) PRO/1000 Gigabit Server Adapter
+ - Intel(R) PRO/1000 PM Network Connection
+ - Intel(R) 82562G 10/100 Network Connection
+ - Intel(R) 82562G-2 10/100 Network Connection
+ - Intel(R) 82562GT 10/100 Network Connection
+ - Intel(R) 82562GT-2 10/100 Network Connection
+ - Intel(R) 82562V 10/100 Network Connection
+ - Intel(R) 82562V-2 10/100 Network Connection
+ - Intel(R) 82566DC Gigabit Network Connection
+ - Intel(R) 82566DC-2 Gigabit Network Connection
+ - Intel(R) 82566DM Gigabit Network Connection
+ - Intel(R) 82566MC Gigabit Network Connection
+ - Intel(R) 82566MM Gigabit Network Connection
+ - Intel(R) 82567V-3 Gigabit Network Connection
+ - Intel(R) 82577LC Gigabit Network Connection
+ - Intel(R) 82578DC Gigabit Network Connection
+
+NOTE: Jumbo Frames cannot be configured on an 82579-based Network device if
+MACSec is enabled on the system.
+
+
+ethtool
+-------
+The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
+diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The latest ethtool
+version is required for this functionality. Download it at:
+
+https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
+
+NOTE: When validating enable/disable tests on some parts (for example, 82578),
+it is necessary to add a few seconds between tests when working with ethtool.
+
+
+Speed and Duplex Configuration
+------------------------------
+In addressing speed and duplex configuration issues, you need to distinguish
+between copper-based adapters and fiber-based adapters.
+
+In the default mode, an Intel(R) Ethernet Network Adapter using copper
+connections will attempt to auto-negotiate with its link partner to determine
+the best setting. If the adapter cannot establish link with the link partner
+using auto-negotiation, you may need to manually configure the adapter and link
+partner to identical settings to establish link and pass packets. This should
+only be needed when attempting to link with an older switch that does not
+support auto-negotiation or one that has been forced to a specific speed or
+duplex mode. Your link partner must match the setting you choose. 1 Gbps speeds
+and higher cannot be forced. Use the autonegotiation advertising setting to
+manually set devices for 1 Gbps and higher.
+
+Speed, duplex, and autonegotiation advertising are configured through the
+ethtool* utility.
+
+Caution: Only experienced network administrators should force speed and duplex
+or change autonegotiation advertising manually. The settings at the switch must
+always match the adapter settings. Adapter performance may suffer or your
+adapter may not operate if you configure the adapter differently from your
+switch.
+
+An Intel(R) Ethernet Network Adapter using fiber-based connections, however,
+will not attempt to auto-negotiate with its link partner since those adapters
+operate only in full duplex and only at their native speed.
+
+
+Enabling Wake on LAN* (WoL)
+---------------------------
+WoL is configured through the ethtool* utility.
+
+WoL will be enabled on the system during the next shut down or reboot. For
+this driver version, in order to enable WoL, the e1000e driver must be loaded
+prior to shutting down or suspending the system.
+
+NOTE: Wake on LAN is only supported on port A for the following devices:
+- Intel(R) PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Network Connection
+- Intel(R) PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Connection
+- Intel(R) PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter
+- Intel(R) PRO/1000 PF Dual Port Server Adapter
+- Intel(R) PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Server Adapter
+- Intel(R) Gigabit PT Quad Port Server ExpressModule

- RxIntDelay, TxIntDelay, RxAbsIntDelay, and TxAbsIntDelay

- http://www.intel.com/design/network/applnots/ap450.htm
-
-InterruptThrottleRate
----------------------
-Valid Range: 0,1,3,4,100-100000 (0=off, 1=dynamic, 3=dynamic conservative,
- 4=simplified balancing)
-Default Value: 3
-
-The driver can limit the amount of interrupts per second that the adapter
-will generate for incoming packets. It does this by writing a value to the
-adapter that is based on the maximum amount of interrupts that the adapter
-will generate per second.
-
-Setting InterruptThrottleRate to a value greater or equal to 100
-will program the adapter to send out a maximum of that many interrupts
-per second, even if more packets have come in. This reduces interrupt
-load on the system and can lower CPU utilization under heavy load,
-but will increase latency as packets are not processed as quickly.
-
-The default behaviour of the driver previously assumed a static
-InterruptThrottleRate value of 8000, providing a good fallback value for
-all traffic types, but lacking in small packet performance and latency.
-The hardware can handle many more small packets per second however, and
-for this reason an adaptive interrupt moderation algorithm was implemented.
-
-The driver has two adaptive modes (setting 1 or 3) in which
-it dynamically adjusts the InterruptThrottleRate value based on the traffic
-that it receives. After determining the type of incoming traffic in the last
-timeframe, it will adjust the InterruptThrottleRate to an appropriate value
-for that traffic.
-
-The algorithm classifies the incoming traffic every interval into
-classes. Once the class is determined, the InterruptThrottleRate value is
-adjusted to suit that traffic type the best. There are three classes defined:
-"Bulk traffic", for large amounts of packets of normal size; "Low latency",
-for small amounts of traffic and/or a significant percentage of small
-packets; and "Lowest latency", for almost completely small packets or
-minimal traffic.
-
-In dynamic conservative mode, the InterruptThrottleRate value is set to 4000
-for traffic that falls in class "Bulk traffic". If traffic falls in the "Low
-latency" or "Lowest latency" class, the InterruptThrottleRate is increased
-stepwise to 20000. This default mode is suitable for most applications.
-
-For situations where low latency is vital such as cluster or
-grid computing, the algorithm can reduce latency even more when
-InterruptThrottleRate is set to mode 1. In this mode, which operates
-the same as mode 3, the InterruptThrottleRate will be increased stepwise to
-70000 for traffic in class "Lowest latency".
-
-In simplified mode the interrupt rate is based on the ratio of TX and
-RX traffic. If the bytes per second rate is approximately equal, the
-interrupt rate will drop as low as 2000 interrupts per second. If the
-traffic is mostly transmit or mostly receive, the interrupt rate could
-be as high as 8000.
-
-Setting InterruptThrottleRate to 0 turns off any interrupt moderation
-and may improve small packet latency, but is generally not suitable
-for bulk throughput traffic.
-
-NOTE: InterruptThrottleRate takes precedence over the TxAbsIntDelay and
- RxAbsIntDelay parameters. In other words, minimizing the receive
- and/or transmit absolute delays does not force the controller to
- generate more interrupts than what the Interrupt Throttle Rate
- allows.
-
-NOTE: When e1000e is loaded with default settings and multiple adapters
- are in use simultaneously, the CPU utilization may increase non-
- linearly. In order to limit the CPU utilization without impacting
- the overall throughput, we recommend that you load the driver as
- follows:
-
- modprobe e1000e InterruptThrottleRate=3000,3000,3000
-
- This sets the InterruptThrottleRate to 3000 interrupts/sec for
- the first, second, and third instances of the driver. The range
- of 2000 to 3000 interrupts per second works on a majority of
- systems and is a good starting point, but the optimal value will
- be platform-specific. If CPU utilization is not a concern, use
- RX_POLLING (NAPI) and default driver settings.
-
-RxIntDelay
-----------
-Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off)
-Default Value: 0
-
-This value delays the generation of receive interrupts in units of 1.024
-microseconds. Receive interrupt reduction can improve CPU efficiency if
-properly tuned for specific network traffic. Increasing this value adds
-extra latency to frame reception and can end up decreasing the throughput
-of TCP traffic. If the system is reporting dropped receives, this value
-may be set too high, causing the driver to run out of available receive
-descriptors.
-
-CAUTION: When setting RxIntDelay to a value other than 0, adapters may
- hang (stop transmitting) under certain network conditions. If
- this occurs a NETDEV WATCHDOG message is logged in the system
- event log. In addition, the controller is automatically reset,
- restoring the network connection. To eliminate the potential
- for the hang ensure that RxIntDelay is set to 0.
-
-RxAbsIntDelay
--------------
-Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off)
-Default Value: 8
-
-This value, in units of 1.024 microseconds, limits the delay in which a
-receive interrupt is generated. Useful only if RxIntDelay is non-zero,
-this value ensures that an interrupt is generated after the initial
-packet is received within the set amount of time. Proper tuning,
-along with RxIntDelay, may improve traffic throughput in specific network
-conditions.
-
-TxIntDelay
-----------
-Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off)
-Default Value: 8
-
-This value delays the generation of transmit interrupts in units of
-1.024 microseconds. Transmit interrupt reduction can improve CPU
-efficiency if properly tuned for specific network traffic. If the
-system is reporting dropped transmits, this value may be set too high
-causing the driver to run out of available transmit descriptors.
-
-TxAbsIntDelay
--------------
-Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off)
-Default Value: 32
-
-This value, in units of 1.024 microseconds, limits the delay in which a
-transmit interrupt is generated. Useful only if TxIntDelay is non-zero,
-this value ensures that an interrupt is generated after the initial
-packet is sent on the wire within the set amount of time. Proper tuning,
-along with TxIntDelay, may improve traffic throughput in specific
-network conditions.
-
-Copybreak
----------
-Valid Range: 0-xxxxxxx (0=off)
-Default Value: 256
-
-Driver copies all packets below or equaling this size to a fresh RX
-buffer before handing it up the stack.
-
-This parameter is different than other parameters, in that it is a
-single (not 1,1,1 etc.) parameter applied to all driver instances and
-it is also available during runtime at
-/sys/module/e1000e/parameters/copybreak
-
-SmartPowerDownEnable
---------------------
-Valid Range: 0-1
-Default Value: 0 (disabled)
-
-Allows PHY to turn off in lower power states. The user can set this parameter
-in supported chipsets.
-
-KumeranLockLoss
----------------
-Valid Range: 0-1
-Default Value: 1 (enabled)
-
-This workaround skips resetting the PHY at shutdown for the initial
-silicon releases of ICH8 systems.
-
-IntMode
--------
-Valid Range: 0-2 (0=legacy, 1=MSI, 2=MSI-X)
-Default Value: 2
-
-Allows changing the interrupt mode at module load time, without requiring a
-recompile. If the driver load fails to enable a specific interrupt mode, the
-driver will try other interrupt modes, from least to most compatible. The
-interrupt order is MSI-X, MSI, Legacy. If specifying MSI (IntMode=1)
-interrupts, only MSI and Legacy will be attempted.
-
-CrcStripping
-------------
-Valid Range: 0-1
-Default Value: 1 (enabled)
-
-Strip the CRC from received packets before sending up the network stack. If
-you have a machine with a BMC enabled but cannot receive IPMI traffic after
-loading or enabling the driver, try disabling this feature.
-
-WriteProtectNVM
----------------
-Valid Range: 0,1
-Default Value: 1
-
-If set to 1, configure the hardware to ignore all write/erase cycles to the
-GbE region in the ICHx NVM (in order to prevent accidental corruption of the
-NVM). This feature can be disabled by setting the parameter to 0 during initial
-driver load.
-NOTE: The machine must be power cycled (full off/on) when enabling NVM writes
-via setting the parameter to zero. Once the NVM has been locked (via the
-parameter at 1 when the driver loads) it cannot be unlocked except via power
-cycle.
-
-Additional Configurations
-=========================
-
- Jumbo Frames
- ------------
- Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than
- the default of 1500. Use the ifconfig command to increase the MTU size.
- For example:
-
- ifconfig eth<x> mtu 9000 up
-
- This setting is not saved across reboots.
-
- Notes:
-
- - The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 9216. This value coincides
- with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 9234 bytes.
-
- - Using Jumbo frames at 10 or 100 Mbps is not supported and may result in
- poor performance or loss of link.
-
- - Some adapters limit Jumbo Frames sized packets to a maximum of
- 4096 bytes and some adapters do not support Jumbo Frames.
-
- - Jumbo Frames cannot be configured on an 82579-based Network device, if
- MACSec is enabled on the system.
-
- ethtool
- -------
- The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
- diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. We
- strongly recommend downloading the latest version of ethtool at:
-
- https://kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
-
- NOTE: When validating enable/disable tests on some parts (82578, for example)
- you need to add a few seconds between tests when working with ethtool.
-
- Speed and Duplex
- ----------------
- Speed and Duplex are configured through the ethtool* utility. For
- instructions, refer to the ethtool man page.
-
- Enabling Wake on LAN* (WoL)
- ---------------------------
- WoL is configured through the ethtool* utility. For instructions on
- enabling WoL with ethtool, refer to the ethtool man page.
-
- WoL will be enabled on the system during the next shut down or reboot.
- For this driver version, in order to enable WoL, the e1000e driver must be
- loaded when shutting down or rebooting the system.
-
- In most cases Wake On LAN is only supported on port A for multiple port
- adapters. To verify if a port supports Wake on Lan run ethtool eth<X>.

+Identifying Your Adapter
+========================
+The driver in this release is compatible with devices based on the Intel(R)
+Ethernet Multi-host Controller.
+
+For information on how to identify your adapter, and for the latest Intel
+network drivers, refer to the Intel Support website:
+http://www.intel.com/support
+
+
+Flow Control
+------------
+The Intel(R) Ethernet Switch Host Interface Driver does not support Flow
+Control. It will not send pause frames. This may result in dropped frames.
+
+
+Virtual Functions (VFs)
+-----------------------
+Use sysfs to enable VFs.
+Valid Range: 0-64
+
+For example::
+
+ echo $num_vf_enabled > /sys/class/net/$dev/device/sriov_numvfs //enable VFs
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/net/$dev/device/sriov_numvfs //disable VFs
+
+NOTE: Neither the device nor the driver control how VFs are mapped into config
+space. Bus layout will vary by operating system. On operating systems that
+support it, you can check sysfs to find the mapping.
+
+NOTE: When SR-IOV mode is enabled, hardware VLAN filtering and VLAN tag
+stripping/insertion will remain enabled. Please remove the old VLAN filter
+before the new VLAN filter is added. For example::
+
+ ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 100 // set vlan 100 for VF 0
+ ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 0 // Delete vlan 100
+ ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 200 // set a new vlan 200 for VF 0
+
+
+Additional Features and Configurations
+======================================
+
+Jumbo Frames
+------------
+Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
+to a value larger than the default value of 1500.
+
+Use the ifconfig command to increase the MTU size. For example, enter the
+following where <x> is the interface number::
+
+ ifconfig eth<x> mtu 9000 up
+
+Alternatively, you can use the ip command as follows::
+
+ ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth<x>
+ ip link set up dev eth<x>
+
+This setting is not saved across reboots. The setting change can be made
+permanent by adding 'MTU=9000' to the file:
+
+- For RHEL: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<x>
+- For SLES: /etc/sysconfig/network/<config_file>
+
+NOTE: The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 15342. This value coincides
+with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 15364 bytes.
+
+NOTE: This driver will attempt to use multiple page sized buffers to receive
+each jumbo packet. This should help to avoid buffer starvation issues when
+allocating receive packets.
+
+
+Generic Receive Offload, aka GRO
+--------------------------------
+The driver supports the in-kernel software implementation of GRO. GRO has
+shown that by coalescing Rx traffic into larger chunks of data, CPU
+utilization can be significantly reduced when under large Rx load. GRO is an
+evolution of the previously-used LRO interface. GRO is able to coalesce
+other protocols besides TCP. It's also safe to use with configurations that
+are problematic for LRO, namely bridging and iSCSI.
+
+
+
+Supported ethtool Commands and Options for Filtering
+----------------------------------------------------
+-n --show-nfc
+ Retrieves the receive network flow classification configurations.
+
+rx-flow-hash tcp4|udp4|ah4|esp4|sctp4|tcp6|udp6|ah6|esp6|sctp6
+ Retrieves the hash options for the specified network traffic type.
+
+-N --config-nfc

+
+rx-flow-hash tcp4|udp4|ah4|esp4|sctp4|tcp6|udp6|ah6|esp6|sctp6 m|v|t|s|d|f|n|r
+ Configures the hash options for the specified network traffic type.
+
+- udp4: UDP over IPv4
+- udp6: UDP over IPv6
+- f Hash on bytes 0 and 1 of the Layer 4 header of the rx packet.
+- n Hash on bytes 2 and 3 of the Layer 4 header of the rx packet.

+
+Identifying Your Adapter
+========================
+The driver is compatible with devices based on the following:
+
+ * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X710
+ * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller XL710
+ * Intel(R) Ethernet Network Connection X722
+ * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller XXV710

+For information about supported media, refer to this document:
+https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/release-notes/xl710-ethernet-controller-feature-matrix.pdf
+
+NOTE: Some adapters based on the Intel(R) Ethernet Controller 700 Series only
+support Intel Ethernet Optics modules. On these adapters, other modules are not
+supported and will not function. In all cases Intel recommends using Intel
+Ethernet Optics; other modules may function but are not validated by Intel.
+Contact Intel for supported media types.
+
+NOTE: For connections based on Intel(R) Ethernet Controller 700 Series, support
+is dependent on your system board. Please see your vendor for details.
+
+NOTE: In systems that do not have adequate airflow to cool the adapter and
+optical modules, you must use high temperature optical modules.
+
+Virtual Functions (VFs)
+-----------------------
+Use sysfs to enable VFs. For example::
+
+ #echo $num_vf_enabled > /sys/class/net/$dev/device/sriov_numvfs #enable VFs
+ #echo 0 > /sys/class/net/$dev/device/sriov_numvfs #disable VFs
+
+For example, the following instructions will configure PF eth0 and the first VF
+on VLAN 10::
+
+ $ ip link set dev eth0 vf 0 vlan 10
+
+VLAN Tag Packet Steering
+------------------------
+Allows you to send all packets with a specific VLAN tag to a particular SR-IOV
+virtual function (VF). Further, this feature allows you to designate a
+particular VF as trusted, and allows that trusted VF to request selective
+promiscuous mode on the Physical Function (PF).
+
+To set a VF as trusted or untrusted, enter the following command in the
+Hypervisor::
+
+ # ip link set dev eth0 vf 1 trust [on|off]
+
+Once the VF is designated as trusted, use the following commands in the VM to
+set the VF to promiscuous mode.
+
+::
+
+ For promiscuous all:
+ #ip link set eth2 promisc on
+ Where eth2 is a VF interface in the VM
+
+ For promiscuous Multicast:
+ #ip link set eth2 allmulticast on
+ Where eth2 is a VF interface in the VM
+
+NOTE: By default, the ethtool priv-flag vf-true-promisc-support is set to
+"off",meaning that promiscuous mode for the VF will be limited. To set the
+promiscuous mode for the VF to true promiscuous and allow the VF to see all
+ingress traffic, use the following command::
+
+ #ethtool -set-priv-flags p261p1 vf-true-promisc-support on
+
+The vf-true-promisc-support priv-flag does not enable promiscuous mode; rather,
+it designates which type of promiscuous mode (limited or true) you will get
+when you enable promiscuous mode using the ip link commands above. Note that
+this is a global setting that affects the entire device. However,the
+vf-true-promisc-support priv-flag is only exposed to the first PF of the
+device. The PF remains in limited promiscuous mode (unless it is in MFP mode)
+regardless of the vf-true-promisc-support setting.
+
+Now add a VLAN interface on the VF interface::
+
+ #ip link add link eth2 name eth2.100 type vlan id 100
+
+Note that the order in which you set the VF to promiscuous mode and add the
+VLAN interface does not matter (you can do either first). The end result in
+this example is that the VF will get all traffic that is tagged with VLAN 100.
+
+Intel(R) Ethernet Flow Director
+-------------------------------
+The Intel Ethernet Flow Director performs the following tasks:
+
+- Directs receive packets according to their flows to different queues.
+- Enables tight control on routing a flow in the platform.
+- Matches flows and CPU cores for flow affinity.
+- Supports multiple parameters for flexible flow classification and load
+ balancing (in SFP mode only).
+
+NOTE: The Linux i40e driver supports the following flow types: IPv4, TCPv4, and
+UDPv4. For a given flow type, it supports valid combinations of IP addresses
+(source or destination) and UDP/TCP ports (source and destination). For
+example, you can supply only a source IP address, a source IP address and a
+destination port, or any combination of one or more of these four parameters.
+
+NOTE: The Linux i40e driver allows you to filter traffic based on a
+user-defined flexible two-byte pattern and offset by using the ethtool user-def
+and mask fields. Only L3 and L4 flow types are supported for user-defined
+flexible filters. For a given flow type, you must clear all Intel Ethernet Flow
+Director filters before changing the input set (for that flow type).
+
+To enable or disable the Intel Ethernet Flow Director::
+
+ # ethtool -K ethX ntuple <on|off>
+
+When disabling ntuple filters, all the user programmed filters are flushed from
+the driver cache and hardware. All needed filters must be re-added when ntuple
+is re-enabled.
+
+To add a filter that directs packet to queue 2, use -U or -N switch::
+
+ # ethtool -N ethX flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.10.1 dst-ip \
+ 192.168.10.2 src-port 2000 dst-port 2001 action 2 [loc 1]
+
+To set a filter using only the source and destination IP address::
+
+ # ethtool -N ethX flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.10.1 dst-ip \
+ 192.168.10.2 action 2 [loc 1]
+
+To see the list of filters currently present::
+
+ # ethtool <-u|-n> ethX
+
+Application Targeted Routing (ATR) Perfect Filters
+--------------------------------------------------
+ATR is enabled by default when the kernel is in multiple transmit queue mode.
+An ATR Intel Ethernet Flow Director filter rule is added when a TCP-IP flow
+starts and is deleted when the flow ends. When a TCP-IP Intel Ethernet Flow
+Director rule is added from ethtool (Sideband filter), ATR is turned off by the
+driver. To re-enable ATR, the sideband can be disabled with the ethtool -K
+option. For example::
+
+ ethtool –K [adapter] ntuple [off|on]
+
+If sideband is re-enabled after ATR is re-enabled, ATR remains enabled until a
+TCP-IP flow is added. When all TCP-IP sideband rules are deleted, ATR is
+automatically re-enabled.
+
+Packets that match the ATR rules are counted in fdir_atr_match stats in
+ethtool, which also can be used to verify whether ATR rules still exist.
+
+Sideband Perfect Filters
+------------------------
+Sideband Perfect Filters are used to direct traffic that matches specified
+characteristics. They are enabled through ethtool's ntuple interface. To add a
+new filter use the following command::
+
+ ethtool -U <device> flow-type <type> src-ip <ip> dst-ip <ip> src-port <port> \
+ dst-port <port> action <queue>
+
+Where:
+ <device> - the ethernet device to program
+ <type> - can be ip4, tcp4, udp4, or sctp4
+ <ip> - the ip address to match on
+ <port> - the port number to match on
+ <queue> - the queue to direct traffic towards (-1 discards matching traffic)
+
+Use the following command to display all of the active filters::
+
+ ethtool -u <device>
+
+Use the following command to delete a filter::
+
+ ethtool -U <device> delete <N>
+
+Where <N> is the filter id displayed when printing all the active filters, and
+may also have been specified using "loc <N>" when adding the filter.
+
+The following example matches TCP traffic sent from 192.168.0.1, port 5300,
+directed to 192.168.0.5, port 80, and sends it to queue 7::
+
+ ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 dst-ip 192.168.0.5 \
+ src-port 5300 dst-port 80 action 7
+
+For each flow-type, the programmed filters must all have the same matching
+input set. For example, issuing the following two commands is acceptable::
+
+ ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 src-port 5300 action 7
+ ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.5 src-port 55 action 10
+
+Issuing the next two commands, however, is not acceptable, since the first
+specifies src-ip and the second specifies dst-ip::
+
+ ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 src-port 5300 action 7
+ ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 dst-ip 192.168.0.5 src-port 55 action 10
+
+The second command will fail with an error. You may program multiple filters
+with the same fields, using different values, but, on one device, you may not
+program two tcp4 filters with different matching fields.
+
+Matching on a sub-portion of a field is not supported by the i40e driver, thus
+partial mask fields are not supported.
+
+The driver also supports matching user-defined data within the packet payload.
+This flexible data is specified using the "user-def" field of the ethtool
+command in the following way:
+
++----------------------------+--------------------------+
+| 31 28 24 20 16 | 15 12 8 4 0 |
++----------------------------+--------------------------+
+| offset into packet payload | 2 bytes of flexible data |
++----------------------------+--------------------------+
+
+For example,
+
+::
+
+ ... user-def 0x4FFFF ...
+
+tells the filter to look 4 bytes into the payload and match that value against
+0xFFFF. The offset is based on the beginning of the payload, and not the
+beginning of the packet. Thus
+
+::
+
+ flow-type tcp4 ... user-def 0x8BEAF ...
+
+would match TCP/IPv4 packets which have the value 0xBEAF 8 bytes into the
+TCP/IPv4 payload.
+
+Note that ICMP headers are parsed as 4 bytes of header and 4 bytes of payload.
+Thus to match the first byte of the payload, you must actually add 4 bytes to
+the offset. Also note that ip4 filters match both ICMP frames as well as raw
+(unknown) ip4 frames, where the payload will be the L3 payload of the IP4 frame.
+
+The maximum offset is 64. The hardware will only read up to 64 bytes of data
+from the payload. The offset must be even because the flexible data is 2 bytes
+long and must be aligned to byte 0 of the packet payload.
+
+The user-defined flexible offset is also considered part of the input set and
+cannot be programmed separately for multiple filters of the same type. However,
+the flexible data is not part of the input set and multiple filters may use the
+same offset but match against different data.
+
+To create filters that direct traffic to a specific Virtual Function, use the
+"action" parameter. Specify the action as a 64 bit value, where the lower 32
+bits represents the queue number, while the next 8 bits represent which VF.
+Note that 0 is the PF, so the VF identifier is offset by 1. For example::
+
+ ... action 0x800000002 ...
+
+specifies to direct traffic to Virtual Function 7 (8 minus 1) into queue 2 of
+that VF.
+
+Note that these filters will not break internal routing rules, and will not
+route traffic that otherwise would not have been sent to the specified Virtual
+Function.
+
+Setting the link-down-on-close Private Flag
+-------------------------------------------
+When the link-down-on-close private flag is set to "on", the port's link will
+go down when the interface is brought down using the ifconfig ethX down command.
+
+Use ethtool to view and set link-down-on-close, as follows::
+
+ ethtool --show-priv-flags ethX
+ ethtool --set-priv-flags ethX link-down-on-close [on|off]
+
+Viewing Link Messages
+---------------------
+Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is
+restricting system messages. In order to see network driver link messages on
+your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following::
+
+ dmesg -n 8
+
+NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots.
+
+Jumbo Frames
+------------
+Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
+to a value larger than the default value of 1500.
+
+Use the ifconfig command to increase the MTU size. For example, enter the
+following where <x> is the interface number::
+
+ ifconfig eth<x> mtu 9000 up
+
+Alternatively, you can use the ip command as follows::
+
+ ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth<x>
+ ip link set up dev eth<x>
+
+This setting is not saved across reboots. The setting change can be made
+permanent by adding 'MTU=9000' to the file::
+
+ /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<x> // for RHEL
+ /etc/sysconfig/network/<config_file> // for SLES
+
+NOTE: The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 9702. This value coincides
+with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 9728 bytes.
+
+NOTE: This driver will attempt to use multiple page sized buffers to receive
+each jumbo packet. This should help to avoid buffer starvation issues when
+allocating receive packets.
+
+ethtool
+-------
+The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
+diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The latest ethtool
+version is required for this functionality. Download it at:
+https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
+
+Supported ethtool Commands and Options for Filtering
+----------------------------------------------------
+-n --show-nfc
+ Retrieves the receive network flow classification configurations.
+
+rx-flow-hash tcp4|udp4|ah4|esp4|sctp4|tcp6|udp6|ah6|esp6|sctp6
+ Retrieves the hash options for the specified network traffic type.
+
+-N --config-nfc
+ Configures the receive network flow classification.
+
+rx-flow-hash tcp4|udp4|ah4|esp4|sctp4|tcp6|udp6|ah6|esp6|sctp6 m|v|t|s|d|f|n|r...
+ Configures the hash options for the specified network traffic type.
+
+udp4 UDP over IPv4
+udp6 UDP over IPv6
+
+f Hash on bytes 0 and 1 of the Layer 4 header of the Rx packet.
+n Hash on bytes 2 and 3 of the Layer 4 header of the Rx packet.
+
+Speed and Duplex Configuration
+------------------------------
+In addressing speed and duplex configuration issues, you need to distinguish
+between copper-based adapters and fiber-based adapters.
+
+In the default mode, an Intel(R) Ethernet Network Adapter using copper
+connections will attempt to auto-negotiate with its link partner to determine
+the best setting. If the adapter cannot establish link with the link partner
+using auto-negotiation, you may need to manually configure the adapter and link
+partner to identical settings to establish link and pass packets. This should
+only be needed when attempting to link with an older switch that does not
+support auto-negotiation or one that has been forced to a specific speed or
+duplex mode. Your link partner must match the setting you choose. 1 Gbps speeds
+and higher cannot be forced. Use the autonegotiation advertising setting to
+manually set devices for 1 Gbps and higher.
+
+NOTE: You cannot set the speed for devices based on the Intel(R) Ethernet
+Network Adapter XXV710 based devices.
+
+Speed, duplex, and autonegotiation advertising are configured through the
+ethtool* utility.
+
+Caution: Only experienced network administrators should force speed and duplex
+or change autonegotiation advertising manually. The settings at the switch must
+always match the adapter settings. Adapter performance may suffer or your
+adapter may not operate if you configure the adapter differently from your
+switch.
+
+An Intel(R) Ethernet Network Adapter using fiber-based connections, however,
+will not attempt to auto-negotiate with its link partner since those adapters
+operate only in full duplex and only at their native speed.
+
+NAPI
+----
+NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the i40e driver.
+For more information on NAPI, see
+https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/napi
+
+Flow Control
+------------
+Ethernet Flow Control (IEEE 802.3x) can be configured with ethtool to enable
+receiving and transmitting pause frames for i40e. When transmit is enabled,
+pause frames are generated when the receive packet buffer crosses a predefined
+threshold. When receive is enabled, the transmit unit will halt for the time
+delay specified when a pause frame is received.
+
+NOTE: You must have a flow control capable link partner.
+
+Flow Control is on by default.
+
+Use ethtool to change the flow control settings.
+
+To enable or disable Rx or Tx Flow Control::
+
+ ethtool -A eth? rx <on|off> tx <on|off>
+
+Note: This command only enables or disables Flow Control if auto-negotiation is
+disabled. If auto-negotiation is enabled, this command changes the parameters
+used for auto-negotiation with the link partner.
+
+To enable or disable auto-negotiation::
+
+ ethtool -s eth? autoneg <on|off>
+
+Note: Flow Control auto-negotiation is part of link auto-negotiation. Depending
+on your device, you may not be able to change the auto-negotiation setting.
+
+RSS Hash Flow
+-------------
+Allows you to set the hash bytes per flow type and any combination of one or
+more options for Receive Side Scaling (RSS) hash byte configuration.
+
+::
+
+ # ethtool -N <dev> rx-flow-hash <type> <option>
+
+Where <type> is:
+ tcp4 signifying TCP over IPv4
+ udp4 signifying UDP over IPv4
+ tcp6 signifying TCP over IPv6
+ udp6 signifying UDP over IPv6
+And <option> is one or more of:
+ s Hash on the IP source address of the Rx packet.
+ d Hash on the IP destination address of the Rx packet.
+ f Hash on bytes 0 and 1 of the Layer 4 header of the Rx packet.
+ n Hash on bytes 2 and 3 of the Layer 4 header of the Rx packet.
+
+MAC and VLAN anti-spoofing feature
+----------------------------------
+When a malicious driver attempts to send a spoofed packet, it is dropped by the
+hardware and not transmitted.
+NOTE: This feature can be disabled for a specific Virtual Function (VF)::
+
+ ip link set <pf dev> vf <vf id> spoofchk {off|on}
+
+IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Hardware Clock (PHC)
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is used to synchronize clocks in a computer
+network. PTP support varies among Intel devices that support this driver. Use
+"ethtool -T <netdev name>" to get a definitive list of PTP capabilities
+supported by the device.
+
+IEEE 802.1ad (QinQ) Support
+---------------------------
+The IEEE 802.1ad standard, informally known as QinQ, allows for multiple VLAN
+IDs within a single Ethernet frame. VLAN IDs are sometimes referred to as
+"tags," and multiple VLAN IDs are thus referred to as a "tag stack." Tag stacks
+allow L2 tunneling and the ability to segregate traffic within a particular
+VLAN ID, among other uses.
+
+The following are examples of how to configure 802.1ad (QinQ)::
+
+ ip link add link eth0 eth0.24 type vlan proto 802.1ad id 24
+ ip link add link eth0.24 eth0.24.371 type vlan proto 802.1Q id 371
+
+Where "24" and "371" are example VLAN IDs.
+
+NOTES:
+ Receive checksum offloads, cloud filters, and VLAN acceleration are not
+ supported for 802.1ad (QinQ) packets.
+
+VXLAN and GENEVE Overlay HW Offloading
+--------------------------------------
+Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) allows you to extend an L2 network over an L3
+network, which may be useful in a virtualized or cloud environment. Some
+Intel(R) Ethernet Network devices perform VXLAN processing, offloading it from
+the operating system. This reduces CPU utilization.
+
+VXLAN offloading is controlled by the Tx and Rx checksum offload options
+provided by ethtool. That is, if Tx checksum offload is enabled, and the
+adapter has the capability, VXLAN offloading is also enabled.
+
+Support for VXLAN and GENEVE HW offloading is dependent on kernel support of
+the HW offloading features.
+
+Multiple Functions per Port
+---------------------------
+Some adapters based on the Intel Ethernet Controller X710/XL710 support
+multiple functions on a single physical port. Configure these functions through
+the System Setup/BIOS.
+
+Minimum TX Bandwidth is the guaranteed minimum data transmission bandwidth, as
+a percentage of the full physical port link speed, that the partition will
+receive. The bandwidth the partition is awarded will never fall below the level
+you specify.
+
+The range for the minimum bandwidth values is:
+1 to ((100 minus # of partitions on the physical port) plus 1)
+For example, if a physical port has 4 partitions, the range would be:
+1 to ((100 - 4) + 1 = 97)
+
+The Maximum Bandwidth percentage represents the maximum transmit bandwidth
+allocated to the partition as a percentage of the full physical port link
+speed. The accepted range of values is 1-100. The value is used as a limiter,
+should you chose that any one particular function not be able to consume 100%
+of a port's bandwidth (should it be available). The sum of all the values for
+Maximum Bandwidth is not restricted, because no more than 100% of a port's
+bandwidth can ever be used.
+
+NOTE: X710/XXV710 devices fail to enable Max VFs (64) when Multiple Functions
+per Port (MFP) and SR-IOV are enabled. An error from i40e is logged that says
+"add vsi failed for VF N, aq_err 16". To workaround the issue, enable less than
+64 virtual functions (VFs).
+
+Data Center Bridging (DCB)
+--------------------------
+DCB is a configuration Quality of Service implementation in hardware. It uses
+the VLAN priority tag (802.1p) to filter traffic. That means that there are 8
+different priorities that traffic can be filtered into. It also enables
+priority flow control (802.1Qbb) which can limit or eliminate the number of
+dropped packets during network stress. Bandwidth can be allocated to each of
+these priorities, which is enforced at the hardware level (802.1Qaz).
+
+Adapter firmware implements LLDP and DCBX protocol agents as per 802.1AB and
+802.1Qaz respectively. The firmware based DCBX agent runs in willing mode only
+and can accept settings from a DCBX capable peer. Software configuration of
+DCBX parameters via dcbtool/lldptool are not supported.
+
+NOTE: Firmware LLDP can be disabled by setting the private flag disable-fw-lldp.
+
+The i40e driver implements the DCB netlink interface layer to allow user-space
+to communicate with the driver and query DCB configuration for the port.
+
+NOTE:
+The kernel assumes that TC0 is available, and will disable Priority Flow
+Control (PFC) on the device if TC0 is not available. To fix this, ensure TC0 is
+enabled when setting up DCB on your switch.
+
+Interrupt Rate Limiting
+-----------------------
+:Valid Range: 0-235 (0=no limit)
+
+The Intel(R) Ethernet Controller XL710 family supports an interrupt rate
+limiting mechanism. The user can control, via ethtool, the number of
+microseconds between interrupts.
+
+Syntax::
+
+ # ethtool -C ethX rx-usecs-high N
+
+The range of 0-235 microseconds provides an effective range of 4,310 to 250,000
+interrupts per second. The value of rx-usecs-high can be set independently of
+rx-usecs and tx-usecs in the same ethtool command, and is also independent of
+the adaptive interrupt moderation algorithm. The underlying hardware supports
+granularity in 4-microsecond intervals, so adjacent values may result in the
+same interrupt rate.
+
+One possible use case is the following::
+
+ # ethtool -C ethX adaptive-rx off adaptive-tx off rx-usecs-high 20 rx-usecs \
+ 5 tx-usecs 5
+
+The above command would disable adaptive interrupt moderation, and allow a
+maximum of 5 microseconds before indicating a receive or transmit was complete.
+However, instead of resulting in as many as 200,000 interrupts per second, it
+limits total interrupts per second to 50,000 via the rx-usecs-high parameter.
+
+Performance Optimization
+========================
+Driver defaults are meant to fit a wide variety of workloads, but if further
+optimization is required we recommend experimenting with the following settings.
+
+NOTE: For better performance when processing small (64B) frame sizes, try
+enabling Hyper threading in the BIOS in order to increase the number of logical
+cores in the system and subsequently increase the number of queues available to
+the adapter.
+
+Virtualized Environments
+------------------------
+1. Disable XPS on both ends by using the included virt_perf_default script
+or by running the following command as root::
+
+ for file in `ls /sys/class/net/<ethX>/queues/tx-*/xps_cpus`;
+ do echo 0 > $file; done
+
+2. Using the appropriate mechanism (vcpupin) in the vm, pin the cpu's to
+individual lcpu's, making sure to use a set of cpu's included in the
+device's local_cpulist: /sys/class/net/<ethX>/device/local_cpulist.
+
+3. Configure as many Rx/Tx queues in the VM as available. Do not rely on
+the default setting of 1.
+
+
+Non-virtualized Environments
+----------------------------
+Pin the adapter's IRQs to specific cores by disabling the irqbalance service
+and using the included set_irq_affinity script. Please see the script's help
+text for further options.
+
+- The following settings will distribute the IRQs across all the cores evenly::
+
+ # scripts/set_irq_affinity -x all <interface1> , [ <interface2>, ... ]
+
+- The following settings will distribute the IRQs across all the cores that are
+ local to the adapter (same NUMA node)::
+
+ # scripts/set_irq_affinity -x local <interface1> ,[ <interface2>, ... ]
+
+For very CPU intensive workloads, we recommend pinning the IRQs to all cores.
+
+For IP Forwarding: Disable Adaptive ITR and lower Rx and Tx interrupts per
+queue using ethtool.
+
+- Setting rx-usecs and tx-usecs to 125 will limit interrupts to about 8000
+ interrupts per second per queue.
+
+::
+
+ # ethtool -C <interface> adaptive-rx off adaptive-tx off rx-usecs 125 \
+ tx-usecs 125
+
+For lower CPU utilization: Disable Adaptive ITR and lower Rx and Tx interrupts
+per queue using ethtool.
+
+- Setting rx-usecs and tx-usecs to 250 will limit interrupts to about 4000
+ interrupts per second per queue.
+
+::
+
+ # ethtool -C <interface> adaptive-rx off adaptive-tx off rx-usecs 250 \
+ tx-usecs 250
+
+For lower latency: Disable Adaptive ITR and ITR by setting Rx and Tx to 0 using
+ethtool.
+
+::
+
+ # ethtool -C <interface> adaptive-rx off adaptive-tx off rx-usecs 0 \
+ tx-usecs 0
+
+Application Device Queues (ADq)
+-------------------------------
+Application Device Queues (ADq) allows you to dedicate one or more queues to a
+specific application. This can reduce latency for the specified application,
+and allow Tx traffic to be rate limited per application. Follow the steps below
+to set ADq.
+
+1. Create traffic classes (TCs). Maximum of 8 TCs can be created per interface.
+The shaper bw_rlimit parameter is optional.
+
+Example: Sets up two tcs, tc0 and tc1, with 16 queues each and max tx rate set
+to 1Gbit for tc0 and 3Gbit for tc1.
+
+::
+
+ # tc qdisc add dev <interface> root mqprio num_tc 2 map 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
+ queues 16@0 16@16 hw 1 mode channel shaper bw_rlimit min_rate 1Gbit 2Gbit
+ max_rate 1Gbit 3Gbit
+
+map: priority mapping for up to 16 priorities to tcs (e.g. map 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
+sets priorities 0-3 to use tc0 and 4-7 to use tc1)
+
+queues: for each tc, <num queues>@<offset> (e.g. queues 16@0 16@16 assigns
+16 queues to tc0 at offset 0 and 16 queues to tc1 at offset 16. Max total
+number of queues for all tcs is 64 or number of cores, whichever is lower.)
+
+hw 1 mode channel: ‘channel’ with ‘hw’ set to 1 is a new new hardware
+offload mode in mqprio that makes full use of the mqprio options, the
+TCs, the queue configurations, and the QoS parameters.
+
+shaper bw_rlimit: for each tc, sets minimum and maximum bandwidth rates.
+Totals must be equal or less than port speed.
+
+For example: min_rate 1Gbit 3Gbit: Verify bandwidth limit using network
+monitoring tools such as ifstat or sar –n DEV [interval] [number of samples]
+
+2. Enable HW TC offload on interface::
+
+ # ethtool -K <interface> hw-tc-offload on
+
+3. Apply TCs to ingress (RX) flow of interface::
+
+ # tc qdisc add dev <interface> ingress
+
+NOTES:
+ - Run all tc commands from the iproute2 <pathtoiproute2>/tc/ directory.
+ - ADq is not compatible with cloud filters.
+ - Setting up channels via ethtool (ethtool -L) is not supported when the
+ TCs are configured using mqprio.
+ - You must have iproute2 latest version
+ - NVM version 6.01 or later is required.
+ - ADq cannot be enabled when any the following features are enabled: Data
+ Center Bridging (DCB), Multiple Functions per Port (MFP), or Sideband
+ Filters.
+ - If another driver (for example, DPDK) has set cloud filters, you cannot
+ enable ADq.
+ - Tunnel filters are not supported in ADq. If encapsulated packets do
+ arrive in non-tunnel mode, filtering will be done on the inner headers.
+ For example, for VXLAN traffic in non-tunnel mode, PCTYPE is identified
+ as a VXLAN encapsulated packet, outer headers are ignored. Therefore,
+ inner headers are matched.
+ - If a TC filter on a PF matches traffic over a VF (on the PF), that
+ traffic will be routed to the appropriate queue of the PF, and will
+ not be passed on the VF. Such traffic will end up getting dropped higher
+ up in the TCP/IP stack as it does not match PF address data.
+ - If traffic matches multiple TC filters that point to different TCs,
+ that traffic will be duplicated and sent to all matching TC queues.
+ The hardware switch mirrors the packet to a VSI list when multiple
+ filters are matched.
+
+
+Known Issues/Troubleshooting
+============================
+
+NOTE: 1 Gb devices based on the Intel(R) Ethernet Network Connection X722 do
+not support the following features:
+
+ * Data Center Bridging (DCB)
+ * QOS
+ * VMQ
+ * SR-IOV
+ * Task Encapsulation offload (VXLAN, NVGRE)
+ * Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
+ * Auto-media detect
+
+Unexpected Issues when the device driver and DPDK share a device
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+Unexpected issues may result when an i40e device is in multi driver mode and
+the kernel driver and DPDK driver are sharing the device. This is because
+access to the global NIC resources is not synchronized between multiple
+drivers. Any change to the global NIC configuration (writing to a global
+register, setting global configuration by AQ, or changing switch modes) will
+affect all ports and drivers on the device. Loading DPDK with the
+"multi-driver" module parameter may mitigate some of the issues.
+
+TC0 must be enabled when setting up DCB on a switch
+---------------------------------------------------
+The kernel assumes that TC0 is available, and will disable Priority Flow
+Control (PFC) on the device if TC0 is not available. To fix this, ensure TC0 is
+enabled when setting up DCB on your switch.

-Identifying Your Adapter
-========================
-
-The driver in this release is compatible with the Intel Ethernet
-Controller XL710 Family.

- http://support.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-012904.htm
-
-
-Enabling the driver
-===================
-
-The driver is enabled via the standard kernel configuration system,
-using the make command:
-

- -> Intel(R) Ethernet Controller XL710 Family
-
-Additional Configurations
-=========================
-
- Generic Receive Offload (GRO)
- -----------------------------
- The driver supports the in-kernel software implementation of GRO. GRO has
- shown that by coalescing Rx traffic into larger chunks of data, CPU
- utilization can be significantly reduced when under large Rx load. GRO is
- an evolution of the previously-used LRO interface. GRO is able to coalesce
- other protocols besides TCP. It's also safe to use with configurations that
- are problematic for LRO, namely bridging and iSCSI.
-
- Ethtool
- -------
- The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
- diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The latest
- ethtool version is required for this functionality.
-
- The latest release of ethtool can be found from
- https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool
-
-
- Flow Director n-ntuple traffic filters (FDir)
- ---------------------------------------------
- The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for configuring ntuple filters,
- via "ethtool -N <device> <filter>".
-
- The sctp4, ip4, udp4, and tcp4 flow types are supported with the standard
- fields including src-ip, dst-ip, src-port and dst-port. The driver only
- supports fully enabling or fully masking the fields, so use of the mask
- fields for partial matches is not supported.
-
- Additionally, the driver supports using the action to specify filters for a
- Virtual Function. You can specify the action as a 64bit value, where the
- lower 32 bits represents the queue number, while the next 8 bits represent
- which VF. Note that 0 is the PF, so the VF identifier is offset by 1. For
- example:
-
- ... action 0x800000002 ...
-
- Would indicate to direct traffic for Virtual Function 7 (8 minus 1) on queue
- 2 of that VF.
-
- The driver also supports using the user-defined field to specify 2 bytes of
- arbitrary data to match within the packet payload in addition to the regular
- fields. The data is specified in the lower 32bits of the user-def field in
- the following way:
-
- +----------------------------+---------------------------+
- | 31 28 24 20 16 | 15 12 8 4 0|
- +----------------------------+---------------------------+
- | offset into packet payload | 2 bytes of flexible data |
- +----------------------------+---------------------------+
-
- As an example,
-
- ... user-def 0x4FFFF ....
-
- means to match the value 0xFFFF 4 bytes into the packet payload. Note that
- the offset is based on the beginning of the payload, and not the beginning
- of the packet. Thus
-
- flow-type tcp4 ... user-def 0x8BEAF ....
-
- would match TCP/IPv4 packets which have the value 0xBEAF 8bytes into the
- TCP/IPv4 payload.
-
- For ICMP, the hardware parses the ICMP header as 4 bytes of header and 4
- bytes of payload, so if you want to match an ICMP frames payload you may need
- to add 4 to the offset in order to match the data.
-
- Furthermore, the offset can only be up to a value of 64, as the hardware
- will only read up to 64 bytes of data from the payload. It must also be even
- as the flexible data is 2 bytes long and must be aligned to byte 0 of the
- packet payload.
-
- When programming filters, the hardware is limited to using a single input
- set for each flow type. This means that it is an error to program two
- different filters with the same type that don't match on the same fields.
- Thus the second of the following two commands will fail:
-
- ethtool -N <device> flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.0.7 action 5
- ethtool -N <device> flow-type tcp4 dst-ip 192.168.15.18 action 1
-
- This is because the first filter will be accepted and reprogram the input
- set for TCPv4 filters, but the second filter will be unable to reprogram the
- input set until all the conflicting TCPv4 filters are first removed.
-
- Note that the user-defined flexible offset is also considered part of the
- input set and cannot be programmed separately for multiple filters of the
- same type. However, the flexible data is not part of the input set and
- multiple filters may use the same offset but match against different data.
-
- Data Center Bridging (DCB)
- --------------------------
- DCB configuration is not currently supported.
-
- FCoE
- ----
- The driver supports Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Data Center
- Bridging (DCB) functionality. Configuring DCB and FCoE is outside the scope
- of this driver doc. Refer to http://www.open-fcoe.org/ for FCoE project
- information and http://www.open-lldp.org/ or email list
- e1000-eedc@lists.sourceforge.net for DCB information.
-
- MAC and VLAN anti-spoofing feature
- ----------------------------------
- When a malicious driver attempts to send a spoofed packet, it is dropped by
- the hardware and not transmitted. An interrupt is sent to the PF driver
- notifying it of the spoof attempt.
-
- When a spoofed packet is detected the PF driver will send the following
- message to the system log (displayed by the "dmesg" command):
-
- Spoof event(s) detected on VF (n)
-
- Where n=the VF that attempted to do the spoofing.

+- Identifying Your Adapter
+- Additional Configurations
+- Known Issues/Troubleshooting
+- Support
+
+This file describes the iavf Linux* Base Driver. This driver was formerly
+called i40evf.
+
+The iavf driver supports the below mentioned virtual function devices and
+can only be activated on kernels running the i40e or newer Physical Function
+(PF) driver compiled with CONFIG_PCI_IOV. The iavf driver requires
+CONFIG_PCI_MSI to be enabled.
+
+The guest OS loading the iavf driver must support MSI-X interrupts.
+
+Identifying Your Adapter
+========================
+The driver in this kernel is compatible with devices based on the following:
+ * Intel(R) XL710 X710 Virtual Function
+ * Intel(R) X722 Virtual Function
+ * Intel(R) XXV710 Virtual Function
+ * Intel(R) Ethernet Adaptive Virtual Function
+
+For the best performance, make sure the latest NVM/FW is installed on your
+device.
+
+For information on how to identify your adapter, and for the latest NVM/FW
+images and Intel network drivers, refer to the Intel Support website:
+http://www.intel.com/support
+
+
+Additional Features and Configurations
+======================================
+
+Viewing Link Messages
+---------------------
+Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is
+restricting system messages. In order to see network driver link messages on
+your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following::
+
+ dmesg -n 8
+
+NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots.
+
+ethtool
+-------
+The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
+diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The latest ethtool
+version is required for this functionality. Download it at:
+https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
+
+Setting VLAN Tag Stripping
+--------------------------
+If you have applications that require Virtual Functions (VFs) to receive
+packets with VLAN tags, you can disable VLAN tag stripping for the VF. The
+Physical Function (PF) processes requests issued from the VF to enable or
+disable VLAN tag stripping. Note that if the PF has assigned a VLAN to a VF,
+then requests from that VF to set VLAN tag stripping will be ignored.
+
+To enable/disable VLAN tag stripping for a VF, issue the following command
+from inside the VM in which you are running the VF::
+
+ ethtool -K <if_name> rxvlan on/off
+
+or alternatively::
+
+ ethtool --offload <if_name> rxvlan on/off
+
+Adaptive Virtual Function
+-------------------------
+Adaptive Virtual Function (AVF) allows the virtual function driver, or VF, to
+adapt to changing feature sets of the physical function driver (PF) with which
+it is associated. This allows system administrators to update a PF without
+having to update all the VFs associated with it. All AVFs have a single common
+device ID and branding string.
+
+AVFs have a minimum set of features known as "base mode," but may provide
+additional features depending on what features are available in the PF with
+which the AVF is associated. The following are base mode features:
+
+- 4 Queue Pairs (QP) and associated Configuration Status Registers (CSRs)
+ for Tx/Rx.
+- i40e descriptors and ring format.
+- Descriptor write-back completion.
+- 1 control queue, with i40e descriptors, CSRs and ring format.
+- 5 MSI-X interrupt vectors and corresponding i40e CSRs.
+- 1 Interrupt Throttle Rate (ITR) index.
+- 1 Virtual Station Interface (VSI) per VF.
+- 1 Traffic Class (TC), TC0
+- Receive Side Scaling (RSS) with 64 entry indirection table and key,
+ configured through the PF.
+- 1 unicast MAC address reserved per VF.
+- 16 MAC address filters for each VF.
+- Stateless offloads - non-tunneled checksums.
+- AVF device ID.
+- HW mailbox is used for VF to PF communications (including on Windows).
+
+IEEE 802.1ad (QinQ) Support
+---------------------------
+The IEEE 802.1ad standard, informally known as QinQ, allows for multiple VLAN
+IDs within a single Ethernet frame. VLAN IDs are sometimes referred to as
+"tags," and multiple VLAN IDs are thus referred to as a "tag stack." Tag stacks
+allow L2 tunneling and the ability to segregate traffic within a particular
+VLAN ID, among other uses.
+
+The following are examples of how to configure 802.1ad (QinQ)::
+
+ ip link add link eth0 eth0.24 type vlan proto 802.1ad id 24
+ ip link add link eth0.24 eth0.24.371 type vlan proto 802.1Q id 371
+
+Where "24" and "371" are example VLAN IDs.
+
+NOTES:
+ Receive checksum offloads, cloud filters, and VLAN acceleration are not
+ supported for 802.1ad (QinQ) packets.
+
+Application Device Queues (ADq)
+-------------------------------
+Application Device Queues (ADq) allows you to dedicate one or more queues to a
+specific application. This can reduce latency for the specified application,
+and allow Tx traffic to be rate limited per application. Follow the steps below
+to set ADq.
+
+1. Create traffic classes (TCs). Maximum of 8 TCs can be created per interface.
+The shaper bw_rlimit parameter is optional.
+
+Example: Sets up two tcs, tc0 and tc1, with 16 queues each and max tx rate set
+to 1Gbit for tc0 and 3Gbit for tc1.
+
+::
+
+ # tc qdisc add dev <interface> root mqprio num_tc 2 map 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
+ queues 16@0 16@16 hw 1 mode channel shaper bw_rlimit min_rate 1Gbit 2Gbit
+ max_rate 1Gbit 3Gbit
+
+map: priority mapping for up to 16 priorities to tcs (e.g. map 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
+sets priorities 0-3 to use tc0 and 4-7 to use tc1)
+
+queues: for each tc, <num queues>@<offset> (e.g. queues 16@0 16@16 assigns
+16 queues to tc0 at offset 0 and 16 queues to tc1 at offset 16. Max total
+number of queues for all tcs is 64 or number of cores, whichever is lower.)
+
+hw 1 mode channel: ‘channel’ with ‘hw’ set to 1 is a new new hardware
+offload mode in mqprio that makes full use of the mqprio options, the
+TCs, the queue configurations, and the QoS parameters.
+
+shaper bw_rlimit: for each tc, sets minimum and maximum bandwidth rates.
+Totals must be equal or less than port speed.
+
+For example: min_rate 1Gbit 3Gbit: Verify bandwidth limit using network
+monitoring tools such as ifstat or sar –n DEV [interval] [number of samples]
+
+2. Enable HW TC offload on interface::
+
+ # ethtool -K <interface> hw-tc-offload on
+
+3. Apply TCs to ingress (RX) flow of interface::
+
+ # tc qdisc add dev <interface> ingress
+
+NOTES:
+ - Run all tc commands from the iproute2 <pathtoiproute2>/tc/ directory.
+ - ADq is not compatible with cloud filters.
+ - Setting up channels via ethtool (ethtool -L) is not supported when the TCs
+ are configured using mqprio.
+ - You must have iproute2 latest version
+ - NVM version 6.01 or later is required.
+ - ADq cannot be enabled when any the following features are enabled: Data
+ Center Bridging (DCB), Multiple Functions per Port (MFP), or Sideband Filters.
+ - If another driver (for example, DPDK) has set cloud filters, you cannot
+ enable ADq.
+ - Tunnel filters are not supported in ADq. If encapsulated packets do arrive
+ in non-tunnel mode, filtering will be done on the inner headers. For example,
+ for VXLAN traffic in non-tunnel mode, PCTYPE is identified as a VXLAN
+ encapsulated packet, outer headers are ignored. Therefore, inner headers are
+ matched.
+ - If a TC filter on a PF matches traffic over a VF (on the PF), that traffic
+ will be routed to the appropriate queue of the PF, and will not be passed on
+ the VF. Such traffic will end up getting dropped higher up in the TCP/IP
+ stack as it does not match PF address data.
+ - If traffic matches multiple TC filters that point to different TCs, that
+ traffic will be duplicated and sent to all matching TC queues. The hardware
+ switch mirrors the packet to a VSI list when multiple filters are matched.
+
+
+Known Issues/Troubleshooting
+============================
+
+Traffic Is Not Being Passed Between VM and Client
+-------------------------------------------------
+You may not be able to pass traffic between a client system and a
+Virtual Machine (VM) running on a separate host if the Virtual Function
+(VF, or Virtual NIC) is not in trusted mode and spoof checking is enabled
+on the VF. Note that this situation can occur in any combination of client,
+host, and guest operating system. For information on how to set the VF to
+trusted mode, refer to the section "VLAN Tag Packet Steering" in this
+readme document. For information on setting spoof checking, refer to the
+section "MAC and VLAN anti-spoofing feature" in this readme document.
+
+Do not unload port driver if VF with active VM is bound to it
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+Do not unload a port's driver if a Virtual Function (VF) with an active Virtual
+Machine (VM) is bound to it. Doing so will cause the port to appear to hang.
+Once the VM shuts down, or otherwise releases the VF, the command will complete.
+
+Virtual machine does not get link
+---------------------------------
+If the virtual machine has more than one virtual port assigned to it, and those
+virtual ports are bound to different physical ports, you may not get link on
+all of the virtual ports. The following command may work around the issue::
+
+ ethtool -r <PF>
+
+Where <PF> is the PF interface in the host, for example: p5p1. You may need to
+run the command more than once to get link on all virtual ports.
+
+MAC address of Virtual Function changes unexpectedly
+----------------------------------------------------
+If a Virtual Function's MAC address is not assigned in the host, then the VF
+(virtual function) driver will use a random MAC address. This random MAC
+address may change each time the VF driver is reloaded. You can assign a static
+MAC address in the host machine. This static MAC address will survive
+a VF driver reload.
+
+Driver Buffer Overflow Fix
+--------------------------
+The fix to resolve CVE-2016-8105, referenced in Intel SA-00069
+https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-00069.html
+is included in this and future versions of the driver.
+
+Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network
+------------------------------------------------------
+Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have one system
+on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain (non-partitioned
+switch) behave as expected. All Ethernet interfaces will respond to IP traffic
+for any IP address assigned to the system. This results in unbalanced receive
+traffic.
+
+If you have multiple interfaces in a server, either turn on ARP filtering by
+entering::
+
+ echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter
+
+NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots. The configuration change can be
+made permanent by adding the following line to the file /etc/sysctl.conf::
+
+ net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_filter = 1
+
+Another alternative is to install the interfaces in separate broadcast domains
+(either in different switches or in a switch partitioned to VLANs).
+
+Rx Page Allocation Errors
+-------------------------
+'Page allocation failure. order:0' errors may occur under stress.
+This is caused by the way the Linux kernel reports this stressed condition.

+
+Identifying Your Adapter
+========================
+For information on how to identify your adapter, and for the latest Intel
+network drivers, refer to the Intel Support website:
+http://www.intel.com/support
+
+
+Command Line Parameters
+========================
+If the driver is built as a module, the following optional parameters are used
+by entering them on the command line with the modprobe command using this
+syntax::
+
+ modprobe igb [<option>=<VAL1>,<VAL2>,...]
+
+There needs to be a <VAL#> for each network port in the system supported by
+this driver. The values will be applied to each instance, in function order.
+For example::
+
+ modprobe igb max_vfs=2,4
+
+In this case, there are two network ports supported by igb in the system.
+
+NOTE: A descriptor describes a data buffer and attributes related to the data
+buffer. This information is accessed by the hardware.
+
+max_vfs
+-------
+:Valid Range: 0-7
+
+This parameter adds support for SR-IOV. It causes the driver to spawn up to
+max_vfs worth of virtual functions. If the value is greater than 0 it will
+also force the VMDq parameter to be 1 or more.
+
+The parameters for the driver are referenced by position. Thus, if you have a
+dual port adapter, or more than one adapter in your system, and want N virtual
+functions per port, you must specify a number for each port with each parameter
+separated by a comma. For example::
+
+ modprobe igb max_vfs=4
+
+This will spawn 4 VFs on the first port.
+
+::
+
+ modprobe igb max_vfs=2,4
+
+This will spawn 2 VFs on the first port and 4 VFs on the second port.
+
+NOTE: Caution must be used in loading the driver with these parameters.
+Depending on your system configuration, number of slots, etc., it is impossible
+to predict in all cases where the positions would be on the command line.
+
+NOTE: Neither the device nor the driver control how VFs are mapped into config
+space. Bus layout will vary by operating system. On operating systems that
+support it, you can check sysfs to find the mapping.
+
+NOTE: When either SR-IOV mode or VMDq mode is enabled, hardware VLAN filtering
+and VLAN tag stripping/insertion will remain enabled. Please remove the old
+VLAN filter before the new VLAN filter is added. For example::
+
+ ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 100 // set vlan 100 for VF 0
+ ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 0 // Delete vlan 100
+ ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 200 // set a new vlan 200 for VF 0
+
+Debug
+-----
+:Valid Range: 0-16 (0=none,...,16=all)
+:Default Value: 0
+
+This parameter adjusts the level debug messages displayed in the system logs.
+
+
+Additional Features and Configurations
+======================================
+
+Jumbo Frames
+------------
+Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
+to a value larger than the default value of 1500.
+
+Use the ifconfig command to increase the MTU size. For example, enter the
+following where <x> is the interface number::
+
+ ifconfig eth<x> mtu 9000 up
+
+Alternatively, you can use the ip command as follows::
+
+ ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth<x>
+ ip link set up dev eth<x>
+
+This setting is not saved across reboots. The setting change can be made
+permanent by adding 'MTU=9000' to the file:
+
+- For RHEL: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<x>
+- For SLES: /etc/sysconfig/network/<config_file>
+
+NOTE: The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 9216. This value coincides
+with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 9234 bytes.
+
+NOTE: Using Jumbo frames at 10 or 100 Mbps is not supported and may result in
+poor performance or loss of link.
+
+
+ethtool
+-------
+The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
+diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The latest ethtool
+version is required for this functionality. Download it at:
+
+https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/

+---------------------------
+WoL is configured through the ethtool* utility.
+
+WoL will be enabled on the system during the next shut down or reboot. For
+this driver version, in order to enable WoL, the igb driver must be loaded
+prior to shutting down or suspending the system.
+
+NOTE: Wake on LAN is only supported on port A of multi-port devices. Also
+Wake On LAN is not supported for the following device:
+- Intel(R) Gigabit VT Quad Port Server Adapter
+
+
+Multiqueue
+----------
+In this mode, a separate MSI-X vector is allocated for each queue and one for
+"other" interrupts such as link status change and errors. All interrupts are
+throttled via interrupt moderation. Interrupt moderation must be used to avoid
+interrupt storms while the driver is processing one interrupt. The moderation
+value should be at least as large as the expected time for the driver to
+process an interrupt. Multiqueue is off by default.
+
+REQUIREMENTS: MSI-X support is required for Multiqueue. If MSI-X is not found,
+the system will fallback to MSI or to Legacy interrupts. This driver supports
+receive multiqueue on all kernels that support MSI-X.
+
+NOTE: On some kernels a reboot is required to switch between single queue mode
+and multiqueue mode or vice-versa.
+
+
+MAC and VLAN anti-spoofing feature
+----------------------------------
+When a malicious driver attempts to send a spoofed packet, it is dropped by the
+hardware and not transmitted.
+
+An interrupt is sent to the PF driver notifying it of the spoof attempt. When a
+spoofed packet is detected, the PF driver will send the following message to
+the system log (displayed by the "dmesg" command):
+Spoof event(s) detected on VF(n), where n = the VF that attempted to do the
+spoofing
+
+
+Setting MAC Address, VLAN and Rate Limit Using IProute2 Tool
+------------------------------------------------------------
+You can set a MAC address of a Virtual Function (VF), a default VLAN and the
+rate limit using the IProute2 tool. Download the latest version of the
+IProute2 tool from Sourceforge if your version does not have all the features
+you require.

-
-Identifying Your Adapter
-========================
-
-This driver supports all 82575, 82576 and 82580-based Intel (R) gigabit network
-connections.
-
-For specific information on how to identify your adapter, go to the Adapter &
-Driver ID Guide at:
-
- http://support.intel.com/support/go/network/adapter/idguide.htm
-
-Command Line Parameters
-=======================
-
-The default value for each parameter is generally the recommended setting,
-unless otherwise noted.
-
-max_vfs
--------
-Valid Range: 0-7
-Default Value: 0
-
-This parameter adds support for SR-IOV. It causes the driver to spawn up to
-max_vfs worth of virtual function.
-
-Additional Configurations
-=========================
-
- Jumbo Frames
- ------------
- Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than
- the default of 1500. Use the ip command to increase the MTU size.
- For example:
-
- ip link set dev eth<x> mtu 9000
-
- This setting is not saved across reboots.
-
- Notes:
-
- - The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 9216. This value coincides
- with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 9234 bytes.
-
- - Using Jumbo frames at 10 or 100 Mbps is not supported and may result in
- poor performance or loss of link.
-
- ethtool
- -------
- The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
- diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The latest
- version of ethtool can be found at:
-
- https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
-
- Enabling Wake on LAN* (WoL)
- ---------------------------
- WoL is configured through the ethtool* utility.
-
- For instructions on enabling WoL with ethtool, refer to the ethtool man page.
-
- WoL will be enabled on the system during the next shut down or reboot.
- For this driver version, in order to enable WoL, the igb driver must be
- loaded when shutting down or rebooting the system.
-
- Wake On LAN is only supported on port A of multi-port adapters.
-
- Wake On LAN is not supported for the Intel(R) Gigabit VT Quad Port Server
- Adapter.
-
- Multiqueue
- ----------
- In this mode, a separate MSI-X vector is allocated for each queue and one
- for "other" interrupts such as link status change and errors. All
- interrupts are throttled via interrupt moderation. Interrupt moderation
- must be used to avoid interrupt storms while the driver is processing one
- interrupt. The moderation value should be at least as large as the expected
- time for the driver to process an interrupt. Multiqueue is off by default.
-
- REQUIREMENTS: MSI-X support is required for Multiqueue. If MSI-X is not
- found, the system will fallback to MSI or to Legacy interrupts.
-

- When a malicious driver attempts to send a spoofed packet, it is dropped by
- the hardware and not transmitted. An interrupt is sent to the PF driver
- notifying it of the spoof attempt.
-
- When a spoofed packet is detected the PF driver will send the following
- message to the system log (displayed by the "dmesg" command):
-
- Spoof event(s) detected on VF(n)
-
- Where n=the VF that attempted to do the spoofing.

+In This Release
+===============
+
+This file describes the ixgb Linux Base Driver for the 10 Gigabit Intel(R)
+Network Connection. This driver includes support for Itanium(R)2-based
+systems.
+
+For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation
+supplied with your 10 Gigabit adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply
+to use with Linux.
+
+The following features are available in this kernel:
+ - Native VLANs
+ - Channel Bonding (teaming)
+ - SNMP
+
+Channel Bonding documentation can be found in the Linux kernel source:
+/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt
+
+The driver information previously displayed in the /proc filesystem is not
+supported in this release. Alternatively, you can use ethtool (version 1.6
+or later), lspci, and iproute2 to obtain the same information.
+
+Instructions on updating ethtool can be found in the section "Additional
+Configurations" later in this document.
+
+
+Identifying Your Adapter
+========================
+
+The following Intel network adapters are compatible with the drivers in this
+release:
+
++------------+------------------------------+----------------------------------+
+| Controller | Adapter Name | Physical Layer |
++============+==============================+==================================+
+| 82597EX | Intel(R) PRO/10GbE LR/SR/CX4 | - 10G Base-LR (fiber) |
+| | Server Adapters | - 10G Base-SR (fiber) |
+| | | - 10G Base-CX4 (copper) |
++------------+------------------------------+----------------------------------+
+
+For more information on how to identify your adapter, go to the Adapter &
+Driver ID Guide at:
+
+ https://support.intel.com
+
+
+Command Line Parameters
+=======================
+
+If the driver is built as a module, the following optional parameters are
+used by entering them on the command line with the modprobe command using
+this syntax::
+
+ modprobe ixgb [<option>=<VAL1>,<VAL2>,...]
+
+For example, with two 10GbE PCI adapters, entering::
+
+ modprobe ixgb TxDescriptors=80,128
+
+loads the ixgb driver with 80 TX resources for the first adapter and 128 TX
+resources for the second adapter.
+
+The default value for each parameter is generally the recommended setting,
+unless otherwise noted.
+
+Copybreak
+---------
+:Valid Range: 0-XXXX
+:Default Value: 256
+
+ This is the maximum size of packet that is copied to a new buffer on
+ receive.
+
+Debug
+-----
+:Valid Range: 0-16 (0=none,...,16=all)
+:Default Value: 0
+
+ This parameter adjusts the level of debug messages displayed in the
+ system logs.
+
+FlowControl
+-----------
+:Valid Range: 0-3 (0=none, 1=Rx only, 2=Tx only, 3=Rx&Tx)
+:Default Value: 1 if no EEPROM, otherwise read from EEPROM
+
+ This parameter controls the automatic generation(Tx) and response(Rx) to
+ Ethernet PAUSE frames. There are hardware bugs associated with enabling
+ Tx flow control so beware.
+
+RxDescriptors
+-------------
+:Valid Range: 64-4096
+:Default Value: 1024
+
+ This value is the number of receive descriptors allocated by the driver.
+ Increasing this value allows the driver to buffer more incoming packets.
+ Each descriptor is 16 bytes. A receive buffer is also allocated for
+ each descriptor and can be either 2048, 4056, 8192, or 16384 bytes,
+ depending on the MTU setting. When the MTU size is 1500 or less, the
+ receive buffer size is 2048 bytes. When the MTU is greater than 1500 the
+ receive buffer size will be either 4056, 8192, or 16384 bytes. The
+ maximum MTU size is 16114.
+
+TxDescriptors
+-------------
+:Valid Range: 64-4096
+:Default Value: 256
+
+ This value is the number of transmit descriptors allocated by the driver.
+ Increasing this value allows the driver to queue more transmits. Each
+ descriptor is 16 bytes.
+
+RxIntDelay
+----------
+:Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off)
+:Default Value: 72
+
+ This value delays the generation of receive interrupts in units of
+ 0.8192 microseconds. Receive interrupt reduction can improve CPU
+ efficiency if properly tuned for specific network traffic. Increasing
+ this value adds extra latency to frame reception and can end up
+ decreasing the throughput of TCP traffic. If the system is reporting
+ dropped receives, this value may be set too high, causing the driver to
+ run out of available receive descriptors.
+
+TxIntDelay
+----------
+:Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off)
+:Default Value: 32
+
+ This value delays the generation of transmit interrupts in units of
+ 0.8192 microseconds. Transmit interrupt reduction can improve CPU
+ efficiency if properly tuned for specific network traffic. Increasing
+ this value adds extra latency to frame transmission and can end up
+ decreasing the throughput of TCP traffic. If this value is set too high,
+ it will cause the driver to run out of available transmit descriptors.
+
+XsumRX
+------
+:Valid Range: 0-1
+:Default Value: 1
+
+ A value of '1' indicates that the driver should enable IP checksum
+ offload for received packets (both UDP and TCP) to the adapter hardware.
+
+RxFCHighThresh
+--------------
+:Valid Range: 1,536-262,136 (0x600 - 0x3FFF8, 8 byte granularity)
+:Default Value: 196,608 (0x30000)
+
+ Receive Flow control high threshold (when we send a pause frame)
+
+RxFCLowThresh
+-------------
+:Valid Range: 64-262,136 (0x40 - 0x3FFF8, 8 byte granularity)
+:Default Value: 163,840 (0x28000)
+
+ Receive Flow control low threshold (when we send a resume frame)
+
+FCReqTimeout
+------------
+:Valid Range: 1-65535
+:Default Value: 65535
+
+ Flow control request timeout (how long to pause the link partner's tx)
+
+IntDelayEnable
+--------------
+:Value Range: 0,1
+:Default Value: 1
+
+ Interrupt Delay, 0 disables transmit interrupt delay and 1 enables it.
+
+
+Improving Performance
+=====================
+
+With the 10 Gigabit server adapters, the default Linux configuration will
+very likely limit the total available throughput artificially. There is a set
+of configuration changes that, when applied together, will increase the ability
+of Linux to transmit and receive data. The following enhancements were
+originally acquired from settings published at http://www.spec.org/web99/ for
+various submitted results using Linux.
+
+NOTE:
+ These changes are only suggestions, and serve as a starting point for
+ tuning your network performance.
+
+The changes are made in three major ways, listed in order of greatest effect:
+
+- Use ip link to modify the mtu (maximum transmission unit) and the txqueuelen
+ parameter.
+- Use sysctl to modify /proc parameters (essentially kernel tuning)
+- Use setpci to modify the MMRBC field in PCI-X configuration space to increase
+ transmit burst lengths on the bus.
+
+NOTE:
+ setpci modifies the adapter's configuration registers to allow it to read
+ up to 4k bytes at a time (for transmits). However, for some systems the
+ behavior after modifying this register may be undefined (possibly errors of
+ some kind). A power-cycle, hard reset or explicitly setting the e6 register
+ back to 22 (setpci -d 8086:1a48 e6.b=22) may be required to get back to a
+ stable configuration.
+
+- COPY these lines and paste them into ixgb_perf.sh:
+
+::
+
+ #!/bin/bash
+ echo "configuring network performance , edit this file to change the interface
+ or device ID of 10GbE card"
+ # set mmrbc to 4k reads, modify only Intel 10GbE device IDs
+ # replace 1a48 with appropriate 10GbE device's ID installed on the system,
+ # if needed.
+ setpci -d 8086:1a48 e6.b=2e
+ # set the MTU (max transmission unit) - it requires your switch and clients
+ # to change as well.
+ # set the txqueuelen
+ # your ixgb adapter should be loaded as eth1 for this to work, change if needed
+ ip li set dev eth1 mtu 9000 txqueuelen 1000 up
+ # call the sysctl utility to modify /proc/sys entries
+ sysctl -p ./sysctl_ixgb.conf
+
+- COPY these lines and paste them into sysctl_ixgb.conf:
+
+::
+
+ # some of the defaults may be different for your kernel
+ # call this file with sysctl -p <this file>
+ # these are just suggested values that worked well to increase throughput in
+ # several network benchmark tests, your mileage may vary
+
+ ### IPV4 specific settings
+ # turn TCP timestamp support off, default 1, reduces CPU use
+ net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0
+ # turn SACK support off, default on
+ # on systems with a VERY fast bus -> memory interface this is the big gainer
+ net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 0
+ # set min/default/max TCP read buffer, default 4096 87380 174760
+ net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 10000000 10000000 10000000
+ # set min/pressure/max TCP write buffer, default 4096 16384 131072
+ net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 10000000 10000000 10000000
+ # set min/pressure/max TCP buffer space, default 31744 32256 32768
+ net.ipv4.tcp_mem = 10000000 10000000 10000000
+
+ ### CORE settings (mostly for socket and UDP effect)
+ # set maximum receive socket buffer size, default 131071
+ net.core.rmem_max = 524287
+ # set maximum send socket buffer size, default 131071
+ net.core.wmem_max = 524287
+ # set default receive socket buffer size, default 65535
+ net.core.rmem_default = 524287
+ # set default send socket buffer size, default 65535
+ net.core.wmem_default = 524287
+ # set maximum amount of option memory buffers, default 10240
+ net.core.optmem_max = 524287
+ # set number of unprocessed input packets before kernel starts dropping them; default 300
+ net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 300000
+
+Edit the ixgb_perf.sh script if necessary to change eth1 to whatever interface
+your ixgb driver is using and/or replace '1a48' with appropriate 10GbE device's
+ID installed on the system.
+
+NOTE:
+ Unless these scripts are added to the boot process, these changes will
+ only last only until the next system reboot.
+
+
+Resolving Slow UDP Traffic
+--------------------------
+If your server does not seem to be able to receive UDP traffic as fast as it
+can receive TCP traffic, it could be because Linux, by default, does not set
+the network stack buffers as large as they need to be to support high UDP
+transfer rates. One way to alleviate this problem is to allow more memory to
+be used by the IP stack to store incoming data.
+
+For instance, use the commands::
+
+ sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=262143
+
+and::
+
+ sysctl -w net.core.rmem_default=262143
+
+to increase the read buffer memory max and default to 262143 (256k - 1) from
+defaults of max=131071 (128k - 1) and default=65535 (64k - 1). These variables
+will increase the amount of memory used by the network stack for receives, and
+can be increased significantly more if necessary for your application.
+
+
+Additional Configurations
+=========================
+
+Configuring the Driver on Different Distributions
+-------------------------------------------------
+Configuring a network driver to load properly when the system is started is
+distribution dependent. Typically, the configuration process involves adding
+an alias line to /etc/modprobe.conf as well as editing other system startup
+scripts and/or configuration files. Many popular Linux distributions ship
+with tools to make these changes for you. To learn the proper way to
+configure a network device for your system, refer to your distribution
+documentation. If during this process you are asked for the driver or module
+name, the name for the Linux Base Driver for the Intel 10GbE Family of
+Adapters is ixgb.
+
+Viewing Link Messages
+---------------------
+Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is
+restricting system messages. In order to see network driver link messages on
+your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following::
+
+ dmesg -n 8
+
+NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots.
+
+Jumbo Frames
+------------
+The driver supports Jumbo Frames for all adapters. Jumbo Frames support is
+enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than the default of 1500.
+The maximum value for the MTU is 16114. Use the ip command to
+increase the MTU size. For example::
+
+ ip li set dev ethx mtu 9000
+
+The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 16114. This value coincides
+with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 16128.
+
+Ethtool
+-------
+The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
+diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The ethtool
+version 1.6 or later is required for this functionality.
+
+The latest release of ethtool can be found from
+https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
+
+NOTE:
+ The ethtool version 1.6 only supports a limited set of ethtool options.
+ Support for a more complete ethtool feature set can be enabled by
+ upgrading to the latest version.
+
+NAPI
+----
+NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the ixgb driver.
+
+See https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/napi for more information on
+NAPI.
+
+
+Known Issues/Troubleshooting
+============================
+
+NOTE:
+ After installing the driver, if your Intel Network Connection is not
+ working, verify in the "In This Release" section of the readme that you have
+ installed the correct driver.
+
+Cable Interoperability Issue with Fujitsu XENPAK Module in SmartBits Chassis
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4
+Server adapter is connected to a Fujitsu XENPAK CX4 module in a SmartBits
+chassis using 15 m/24AWG cable assemblies manufactured by Fujitsu or Leoni.
+The CRC errors may be received either by the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4
+Server adapter or the SmartBits. If this situation occurs using a different
+cable assembly may resolve the issue.
+
+Cable Interoperability Issues with HP Procurve 3400cl Switch Port
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4 Server
+adapter is connected to an HP Procurve 3400cl switch port using short cables
+(1 m or shorter). If this situation occurs, using a longer cable may resolve
+the issue.
+
+Excessive CRC errors may be observed using Fujitsu 24AWG cable assemblies that
+Are 10 m or longer or where using a Leoni 15 m/24AWG cable assembly. The CRC
+errors may be received either by the CX4 Server adapter or at the switch. If
+this situation occurs, using a different cable assembly may resolve the issue.
+
+Jumbo Frames System Requirement
+-------------------------------
+Memory allocation failures have been observed on Linux systems with 64 MB
+of RAM or less that are running Jumbo Frames. If you are using Jumbo
+Frames, your system may require more than the advertised minimum
+requirement of 64 MB of system memory.
+
+Performance Degradation with Jumbo Frames
+-----------------------------------------
+Degradation in throughput performance may be observed in some Jumbo frames
+environments. If this is observed, increasing the application's socket buffer
+size and/or increasing the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_*mem entry values may help.
+See the specific application manual and /usr/src/linux*/Documentation/
+networking/ip-sysctl.txt for more details.
+
+Allocating Rx Buffers when Using Jumbo Frames
+---------------------------------------------
+Allocating Rx buffers when using Jumbo Frames on 2.6.x kernels may fail if
+the available memory is heavily fragmented. This issue may be seen with PCI-X
+adapters or with packet split disabled. This can be reduced or eliminated
+by changing the amount of available memory for receive buffer allocation, by
+increasing /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes.
+
+Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network
+------------------------------------------------------
+Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have
+one system on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain
+(non-partitioned switch) behave as expected. All Ethernet interfaces
+will respond to IP traffic for any IP address assigned to the system.
+This results in unbalanced receive traffic.
+
+If you have multiple interfaces in a server, do either of the following:
+
+ - Turn on ARP filtering by entering::
+
+ echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter
+
+ - Install the interfaces in separate broadcast domains - either in
+ different switches or in a switch partitioned to VLANs.
+
+UDP Stress Test Dropped Packet Issue
+--------------------------------------
+Under small packets UDP stress test with 10GbE driver, the Linux system
+may drop UDP packets due to the fullness of socket buffers. You may want
+to change the driver's Flow Control variables to the minimum value for
+controlling packet reception.
+
+Tx Hangs Possible Under Stress
+------------------------------
+Under stress conditions, if TX hangs occur, turning off TSO
+"ethtool -K eth0 tso off" may resolve the problem.

-In This Release
-===============
-
-This file describes the ixgb Linux Base Driver for the 10 Gigabit Intel(R)
-Network Connection. This driver includes support for Itanium(R)2-based
-systems.
-
-For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation
-supplied with your 10 Gigabit adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply
-to use with Linux.
-
-The following features are available in this kernel:
- - Native VLANs
- - Channel Bonding (teaming)
- - SNMP
-
-Channel Bonding documentation can be found in the Linux kernel source:
-/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt
-
-The driver information previously displayed in the /proc filesystem is not
-supported in this release. Alternatively, you can use ethtool (version 1.6
-or later), lspci, and iproute2 to obtain the same information.
-
-Instructions on updating ethtool can be found in the section "Additional
-Configurations" later in this document.
-
-
-Identifying Your Adapter
-========================
-
-The following Intel network adapters are compatible with the drivers in this
-release:
-
-Controller Adapter Name Physical Layer
----------- ------------ --------------
-82597EX Intel(R) PRO/10GbE LR/SR/CX4 10G Base-LR (1310 nm optical fiber)
- Server Adapters 10G Base-SR (850 nm optical fiber)
- 10G Base-CX4(twin-axial copper cabling)
-
-For more information on how to identify your adapter, go to the Adapter &
-Driver ID Guide at:
-
- http://support.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-012904.htm
-
-
-Building and Installation
-=========================
-
-select m for "Intel(R) PRO/10GbE support" located at:
- Location:
- -> Device Drivers
- -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y])
- -> Ethernet (10000 Mbit) (NETDEV_10000 [=y])
-1. make modules && make modules_install
-
-2. Load the module:
-
-    modprobe ixgb <parameter>=<value>
-
- The insmod command can be used if the full
- path to the driver module is specified. For example:
-
- insmod /lib/modules/<KERNEL VERSION>/kernel/drivers/net/ixgb/ixgb.ko
-
- With 2.6 based kernels also make sure that older ixgb drivers are
- removed from the kernel, before loading the new module:
-
- rmmod ixgb; modprobe ixgb
-
-3. Assign an IP address to the interface by entering the following, where
- x is the interface number:
-
- ip addr add ethx <IP_address>
-
-4. Verify that the interface works. Enter the following, where <IP_address>
- is the IP address for another machine on the same subnet as the interface
- that is being tested:
-
- ping <IP_address>
-
-
-Command Line Parameters
-=======================
-
-If the driver is built as a module, the following optional parameters are
-used by entering them on the command line with the modprobe command using
-this syntax:
-
- modprobe ixgb [<option>=<VAL1>,<VAL2>,...]
-
-For example, with two 10GbE PCI adapters, entering:
-
- modprobe ixgb TxDescriptors=80,128
-
-loads the ixgb driver with 80 TX resources for the first adapter and 128 TX
-resources for the second adapter.
-
-The default value for each parameter is generally the recommended setting,
-unless otherwise noted.
-
-FlowControl
-Valid Range: 0-3 (0=none, 1=Rx only, 2=Tx only, 3=Rx&Tx)
-Default: Read from the EEPROM
- If EEPROM is not detected, default is 1
- This parameter controls the automatic generation(Tx) and response(Rx) to
- Ethernet PAUSE frames. There are hardware bugs associated with enabling
- Tx flow control so beware.
-
-RxDescriptors
-Valid Range: 64-512
-Default Value: 512
- This value is the number of receive descriptors allocated by the driver.
- Increasing this value allows the driver to buffer more incoming packets.
- Each descriptor is 16 bytes. A receive buffer is also allocated for
- each descriptor and can be either 2048, 4056, 8192, or 16384 bytes,
- depending on the MTU setting. When the MTU size is 1500 or less, the
- receive buffer size is 2048 bytes. When the MTU is greater than 1500 the
- receive buffer size will be either 4056, 8192, or 16384 bytes. The
- maximum MTU size is 16114.
-
-RxIntDelay
-Valid Range: 0-65535 (0=off)
-Default Value: 72
- This value delays the generation of receive interrupts in units of
- 0.8192 microseconds. Receive interrupt reduction can improve CPU
- efficiency if properly tuned for specific network traffic. Increasing
- this value adds extra latency to frame reception and can end up
- decreasing the throughput of TCP traffic. If the system is reporting
- dropped receives, this value may be set too high, causing the driver to
- run out of available receive descriptors.
-
-TxDescriptors
-Valid Range: 64-4096
-Default Value: 256
- This value is the number of transmit descriptors allocated by the driver.
- Increasing this value allows the driver to queue more transmits. Each
- descriptor is 16 bytes.
-
-XsumRX
-Valid Range: 0-1
-Default Value: 1
- A value of '1' indicates that the driver should enable IP checksum
- offload for received packets (both UDP and TCP) to the adapter hardware.
-
-
-Improving Performance
-=====================
-
-With the 10 Gigabit server adapters, the default Linux configuration will
-very likely limit the total available throughput artificially. There is a set
-of configuration changes that, when applied together, will increase the ability
-of Linux to transmit and receive data. The following enhancements were
-originally acquired from settings published at http://www.spec.org/web99/ for
-various submitted results using Linux.
-
-NOTE: These changes are only suggestions, and serve as a starting point for
- tuning your network performance.
-
-The changes are made in three major ways, listed in order of greatest effect:
-- Use ip link to modify the mtu (maximum transmission unit) and the txqueuelen
- parameter.
-- Use sysctl to modify /proc parameters (essentially kernel tuning)
-- Use setpci to modify the MMRBC field in PCI-X configuration space to increase
- transmit burst lengths on the bus.
-
-NOTE: setpci modifies the adapter's configuration registers to allow it to read
-up to 4k bytes at a time (for transmits). However, for some systems the
-behavior after modifying this register may be undefined (possibly errors of
-some kind). A power-cycle, hard reset or explicitly setting the e6 register
-back to 22 (setpci -d 8086:1a48 e6.b=22) may be required to get back to a
-stable configuration.
-
-- COPY these lines and paste them into ixgb_perf.sh:
-#!/bin/bash
-echo "configuring network performance , edit this file to change the interface
-or device ID of 10GbE card"
-# set mmrbc to 4k reads, modify only Intel 10GbE device IDs
-# replace 1a48 with appropriate 10GbE device's ID installed on the system,
-# if needed.
-setpci -d 8086:1a48 e6.b=2e
-# set the MTU (max transmission unit) - it requires your switch and clients
-# to change as well.
-# set the txqueuelen
-# your ixgb adapter should be loaded as eth1 for this to work, change if needed
-ip li set dev eth1 mtu 9000 txqueuelen 1000 up
-# call the sysctl utility to modify /proc/sys entries
-sysctl -p ./sysctl_ixgb.conf
-- END ixgb_perf.sh
-
-- COPY these lines and paste them into sysctl_ixgb.conf:
-# some of the defaults may be different for your kernel
-# call this file with sysctl -p <this file>
-# these are just suggested values that worked well to increase throughput in
-# several network benchmark tests, your mileage may vary
-
-### IPV4 specific settings
-# turn TCP timestamp support off, default 1, reduces CPU use
-net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0
-# turn SACK support off, default on
-# on systems with a VERY fast bus -> memory interface this is the big gainer
-net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 0
-# set min/default/max TCP read buffer, default 4096 87380 174760
-net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 10000000 10000000 10000000
-# set min/pressure/max TCP write buffer, default 4096 16384 131072
-net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 10000000 10000000 10000000
-# set min/pressure/max TCP buffer space, default 31744 32256 32768
-net.ipv4.tcp_mem = 10000000 10000000 10000000
-
-### CORE settings (mostly for socket and UDP effect)
-# set maximum receive socket buffer size, default 131071
-net.core.rmem_max = 524287
-# set maximum send socket buffer size, default 131071
-net.core.wmem_max = 524287
-# set default receive socket buffer size, default 65535
-net.core.rmem_default = 524287
-# set default send socket buffer size, default 65535
-net.core.wmem_default = 524287
-# set maximum amount of option memory buffers, default 10240
-net.core.optmem_max = 524287
-# set number of unprocessed input packets before kernel starts dropping them; default 300
-net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 300000
-- END sysctl_ixgb.conf
-
-Edit the ixgb_perf.sh script if necessary to change eth1 to whatever interface
-your ixgb driver is using and/or replace '1a48' with appropriate 10GbE device's
-ID installed on the system.
-
-NOTE: Unless these scripts are added to the boot process, these changes will
- only last only until the next system reboot.
-
-
-Resolving Slow UDP Traffic
---------------------------
-If your server does not seem to be able to receive UDP traffic as fast as it
-can receive TCP traffic, it could be because Linux, by default, does not set
-the network stack buffers as large as they need to be to support high UDP
-transfer rates. One way to alleviate this problem is to allow more memory to
-be used by the IP stack to store incoming data.
-
-For instance, use the commands:
- sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=262143
-and
- sysctl -w net.core.rmem_default=262143
-to increase the read buffer memory max and default to 262143 (256k - 1) from
-defaults of max=131071 (128k - 1) and default=65535 (64k - 1). These variables
-will increase the amount of memory used by the network stack for receives, and
-can be increased significantly more if necessary for your application.
-
-
-Additional Configurations
-=========================
-
- Configuring the Driver on Different Distributions
- -------------------------------------------------
- Configuring a network driver to load properly when the system is started is
- distribution dependent. Typically, the configuration process involves adding
- an alias line to /etc/modprobe.conf as well as editing other system startup
- scripts and/or configuration files. Many popular Linux distributions ship
- with tools to make these changes for you. To learn the proper way to
- configure a network device for your system, refer to your distribution
- documentation. If during this process you are asked for the driver or module
- name, the name for the Linux Base Driver for the Intel 10GbE Family of
- Adapters is ixgb.
-
- Viewing Link Messages
- ---------------------
- Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is
- restricting system messages. In order to see network driver link messages on
- your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following:
-
- dmesg -n 8
-
- NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots.
-
-
- Jumbo Frames
- ------------
- The driver supports Jumbo Frames for all adapters. Jumbo Frames support is
- enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than the default of 1500.
- The maximum value for the MTU is 16114. Use the ip command to
- increase the MTU size. For example:
-
- ip li set dev ethx mtu 9000
-
- The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 16114. This value coincides
- with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 16128.
-
-
- ethtool
- -------
- The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
- diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The ethtool
- version 1.6 or later is required for this functionality.
-
- The latest release of ethtool can be found from
- https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
-
- NOTE: The ethtool version 1.6 only supports a limited set of ethtool options.
- Support for a more complete ethtool feature set can be enabled by
- upgrading to the latest version.
-
-
- NAPI
- ----
-
- NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the ixgb driver. NAPI is enabled
- or disabled based on the configuration of the kernel. see CONFIG_IXGB_NAPI
-
- See www.cyberus.ca/~hadi/usenix-paper.tgz for more information on NAPI.
-
-
-Known Issues/Troubleshooting
-============================
-
- NOTE: After installing the driver, if your Intel Network Connection is not
- working, verify in the "In This Release" section of the readme that you have
- installed the correct driver.
-
- Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter Cable Interoperability Issue with
- Fujitsu XENPAK Module in SmartBits Chassis
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4
- Server adapter is connected to a Fujitsu XENPAK CX4 module in a SmartBits
- chassis using 15 m/24AWG cable assemblies manufactured by Fujitsu or Leoni.
- The CRC errors may be received either by the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4
- Server adapter or the SmartBits. If this situation occurs using a different
- cable assembly may resolve the issue.
-
- CX4 Server Adapter Cable Interoperability Issues with HP Procurve 3400cl
- Switch Port
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4 Server
- adapter is connected to an HP Procurve 3400cl switch port using short cables
- (1 m or shorter). If this situation occurs, using a longer cable may resolve
- the issue.
-
- Excessive CRC errors may be observed using Fujitsu 24AWG cable assemblies that
- Are 10 m or longer or where using a Leoni 15 m/24AWG cable assembly. The CRC
- errors may be received either by the CX4 Server adapter or at the switch. If
- this situation occurs, using a different cable assembly may resolve the issue.
-
-
- Jumbo Frames System Requirement
- -------------------------------
- Memory allocation failures have been observed on Linux systems with 64 MB
- of RAM or less that are running Jumbo Frames. If you are using Jumbo
- Frames, your system may require more than the advertised minimum
- requirement of 64 MB of system memory.
-
-
- Performance Degradation with Jumbo Frames
- -----------------------------------------
- Degradation in throughput performance may be observed in some Jumbo frames
- environments. If this is observed, increasing the application's socket buffer
- size and/or increasing the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_*mem entry values may help.
- See the specific application manual and /usr/src/linux*/Documentation/
- networking/ip-sysctl.txt for more details.
-
-
- Allocating Rx Buffers when Using Jumbo Frames
- ---------------------------------------------
- Allocating Rx buffers when using Jumbo Frames on 2.6.x kernels may fail if
- the available memory is heavily fragmented. This issue may be seen with PCI-X
- adapters or with packet split disabled. This can be reduced or eliminated
- by changing the amount of available memory for receive buffer allocation, by
- increasing /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes.

-
-
- UDP Stress Test Dropped Packet Issue
- --------------------------------------
- Under small packets UDP stress test with 10GbE driver, the Linux system
- may drop UDP packets due to the fullness of socket buffers. You may want
- to change the driver's Flow Control variables to the minimum value for

+
+Command Line Parameters
+=======================
+
+max_vfs
+-------
+:Valid Range: 1-63
+
+This parameter adds support for SR-IOV. It causes the driver to spawn up to
+max_vfs worth of virtual functions.
+If the value is greater than 0 it will also force the VMDq parameter to be 1 or
+more.
+
+NOTE: This parameter is only used on kernel 3.7.x and below. On kernel 3.8.x
+and above, use sysfs to enable VFs. Also, for Red Hat distributions, this
+parameter is only used on version 6.6 and older. For version 6.7 and newer, use
+sysfs. For example::
+
+ #echo $num_vf_enabled > /sys/class/net/$dev/device/sriov_numvfs // enable VFs
+ #echo 0 > /sys/class/net/$dev/device/sriov_numvfs //disable VFs
+
+The parameters for the driver are referenced by position. Thus, if you have a
+dual port adapter, or more than one adapter in your system, and want N virtual
+functions per port, you must specify a number for each port with each parameter
+separated by a comma. For example::
+
+ modprobe ixgbe max_vfs=4
+
+This will spawn 4 VFs on the first port.
+
+::
+
+ modprobe ixgbe max_vfs=2,4
+
+This will spawn 2 VFs on the first port and 4 VFs on the second port.
+
+NOTE: Caution must be used in loading the driver with these parameters.
+Depending on your system configuration, number of slots, etc., it is impossible
+to predict in all cases where the positions would be on the command line.
+
+NOTE: Neither the device nor the driver control how VFs are mapped into config
+space. Bus layout will vary by operating system. On operating systems that
+support it, you can check sysfs to find the mapping.
+
+NOTE: When either SR-IOV mode or VMDq mode is enabled, hardware VLAN filtering
+and VLAN tag stripping/insertion will remain enabled. Please remove the old
+VLAN filter before the new VLAN filter is added. For example,
+
+::
+
+ ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 100 // set VLAN 100 for VF 0
+ ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 0 // Delete VLAN 100
+ ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 200 // set a new VLAN 200 for VF 0
+
+With kernel 3.6, the driver supports the simultaneous usage of max_vfs and DCB
+features, subject to the constraints described below. Prior to kernel 3.6, the
+driver did not support the simultaneous operation of max_vfs greater than 0 and
+the DCB features (multiple traffic classes utilizing Priority Flow Control and
+Extended Transmission Selection).
+
+When DCB is enabled, network traffic is transmitted and received through
+multiple traffic classes (packet buffers in the NIC). The traffic is associated
+with a specific class based on priority, which has a value of 0 through 7 used
+in the VLAN tag. When SR-IOV is not enabled, each traffic class is associated
+with a set of receive/transmit descriptor queue pairs. The number of queue
+pairs for a given traffic class depends on the hardware configuration. When
+SR-IOV is enabled, the descriptor queue pairs are grouped into pools. The
+Physical Function (PF) and each Virtual Function (VF) is allocated a pool of
+receive/transmit descriptor queue pairs. When multiple traffic classes are
+configured (for example, DCB is enabled), each pool contains a queue pair from
+each traffic class. When a single traffic class is configured in the hardware,
+the pools contain multiple queue pairs from the single traffic class.
+
+The number of VFs that can be allocated depends on the number of traffic
+classes that can be enabled. The configurable number of traffic classes for
+each enabled VF is as follows:
+0 - 15 VFs = Up to 8 traffic classes, depending on device support
+16 - 31 VFs = Up to 4 traffic classes
+32 - 63 VFs = 1 traffic class
+
+When VFs are configured, the PF is allocated one pool as well. The PF supports
+the DCB features with the constraint that each traffic class will only use a
+single queue pair. When zero VFs are configured, the PF can support multiple
+queue pairs per traffic class.
+
+allow_unsupported_sfp
+---------------------
+:Valid Range: 0,1
+:Default Value: 0 (disabled)
+
+This parameter allows unsupported and untested SFP+ modules on 82599-based
+adapters, as long as the type of module is known to the driver.
+
+debug
+-----
+:Valid Range: 0-16 (0=none,...,16=all)
+:Default Value: 0
+
+This parameter adjusts the level of debug messages displayed in the system
+logs.
+
+
+Additional Features and Configurations
+======================================
+
+Flow Control
+------------
+Ethernet Flow Control (IEEE 802.3x) can be configured with ethtool to enable
+receiving and transmitting pause frames for ixgbe. When transmit is enabled,
+pause frames are generated when the receive packet buffer crosses a predefined
+threshold. When receive is enabled, the transmit unit will halt for the time
+delay specified when a pause frame is received.
+
+NOTE: You must have a flow control capable link partner.
+
+Flow Control is enabled by default.
+
+Use ethtool to change the flow control settings. To enable or disable Rx or
+Tx Flow Control::
+
+ ethtool -A eth? rx <on|off> tx <on|off>
+
+Note: This command only enables or disables Flow Control if auto-negotiation is
+disabled. If auto-negotiation is enabled, this command changes the parameters
+used for auto-negotiation with the link partner.
+
+To enable or disable auto-negotiation::
+
+ ethtool -s eth? autoneg <on|off>
+
+Note: Flow Control auto-negotiation is part of link auto-negotiation. Depending
+on your device, you may not be able to change the auto-negotiation setting.
+
+NOTE: For 82598 backplane cards entering 1 gigabit mode, flow control default
+behavior is changed to off. Flow control in 1 gigabit mode on these devices can
+lead to transmit hangs.
+
+Intel(R) Ethernet Flow Director
+-------------------------------
+The Intel Ethernet Flow Director performs the following tasks:
+
+- Directs receive packets according to their flows to different queues.
+- Enables tight control on routing a flow in the platform.
+- Matches flows and CPU cores for flow affinity.
+- Supports multiple parameters for flexible flow classification and load
+ balancing (in SFP mode only).
+
+NOTE: Intel Ethernet Flow Director masking works in the opposite manner from
+subnet masking. In the following command::
+
+ #ethtool -N eth11 flow-type ip4 src-ip 172.4.1.2 m 255.0.0.0 dst-ip \
+ 172.21.1.1 m 255.128.0.0 action 31
+
+The src-ip value that is written to the filter will be 0.4.1.2, not 172.0.0.0
+as might be expected. Similarly, the dst-ip value written to the filter will be
+0.21.1.1, not 172.0.0.0.
+
+To enable or disable the Intel Ethernet Flow Director::
+
+ # ethtool -K ethX ntuple <on|off>
+
+When disabling ntuple filters, all the user programmed filters are flushed from
+the driver cache and hardware. All needed filters must be re-added when ntuple
+is re-enabled.
+
+To add a filter that directs packet to queue 2, use -U or -N switch::
+
+ # ethtool -N ethX flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.10.1 dst-ip \
+ 192.168.10.2 src-port 2000 dst-port 2001 action 2 [loc 1]
+
+To see the list of filters currently present::
+
+ # ethtool <-u|-n> ethX
+
+Sideband Perfect Filters
+------------------------
+Sideband Perfect Filters are used to direct traffic that matches specified
+characteristics. They are enabled through ethtool's ntuple interface. To add a
+new filter use the following command::
+
+ ethtool -U <device> flow-type <type> src-ip <ip> dst-ip <ip> src-port <port> \
+ dst-port <port> action <queue>
+
+Where:
+ <device> - the ethernet device to program
+ <type> - can be ip4, tcp4, udp4, or sctp4
+ <ip> - the IP address to match on
+ <port> - the port number to match on
+ <queue> - the queue to direct traffic towards (-1 discards the matched traffic)
+
+Use the following command to delete a filter::
+
+ ethtool -U <device> delete <N>
+
+Where <N> is the filter id displayed when printing all the active filters, and
+may also have been specified using "loc <N>" when adding the filter.
+
+The following example matches TCP traffic sent from 192.168.0.1, port 5300,
+directed to 192.168.0.5, port 80, and sends it to queue 7::
+
+ ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 dst-ip 192.168.0.5 \
+ src-port 5300 dst-port 80 action 7
+
+For each flow-type, the programmed filters must all have the same matching
+input set. For example, issuing the following two commands is acceptable::
+
+ ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 src-port 5300 action 7
+ ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.5 src-port 55 action 10
+
+Issuing the next two commands, however, is not acceptable, since the first
+specifies src-ip and the second specifies dst-ip::
+
+ ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 src-port 5300 action 7
+ ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 dst-ip 192.168.0.5 src-port 55 action 10
+
+The second command will fail with an error. You may program multiple filters
+with the same fields, using different values, but, on one device, you may not
+program two TCP4 filters with different matching fields.
+
+Matching on a sub-portion of a field is not supported by the ixgbe driver, thus
+partial mask fields are not supported.
+
+To create filters that direct traffic to a specific Virtual Function, use the
+"user-def" parameter. Specify the user-def as a 64 bit value, where the lower 32
+bits represents the queue number, while the next 8 bits represent which VF.
+Note that 0 is the PF, so the VF identifier is offset by 1. For example::
+
+ ... user-def 0x800000002 ...
+
+specifies to direct traffic to Virtual Function 7 (8 minus 1) into queue 2 of
+that VF.
+
+Note that these filters will not break internal routing rules, and will not
+route traffic that otherwise would not have been sent to the specified Virtual
+Function.
+
+Jumbo Frames
+------------
+Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
+to a value larger than the default value of 1500.
+
+Use the ifconfig command to increase the MTU size. For example, enter the
+following where <x> is the interface number::
+
+ ifconfig eth<x> mtu 9000 up
+
+Alternatively, you can use the ip command as follows::
+
+ ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth<x>
+ ip link set up dev eth<x>
+
+This setting is not saved across reboots. The setting change can be made
+permanent by adding 'MTU=9000' to the file::
+
+ /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<x> // for RHEL
+ /etc/sysconfig/network/<config_file> // for SLES
+
+NOTE: The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 9710. This value coincides
+with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 9728 bytes.
+
+NOTE: This driver will attempt to use multiple page sized buffers to receive
+each jumbo packet. This should help to avoid buffer starvation issues when
+allocating receive packets.
+
+NOTE: For 82599-based network connections, if you are enabling jumbo frames in
+a virtual function (VF), jumbo frames must first be enabled in the physical
+function (PF). The VF MTU setting cannot be larger than the PF MTU.
+
+Generic Receive Offload, aka GRO
+--------------------------------
+The driver supports the in-kernel software implementation of GRO. GRO has
+shown that by coalescing Rx traffic into larger chunks of data, CPU
+utilization can be significantly reduced when under large Rx load. GRO is an
+evolution of the previously-used LRO interface. GRO is able to coalesce
+other protocols besides TCP. It's also safe to use with configurations that
+are problematic for LRO, namely bridging and iSCSI.
+
+Data Center Bridging (DCB)
+--------------------------
+NOTE:
+The kernel assumes that TC0 is available, and will disable Priority Flow
+Control (PFC) on the device if TC0 is not available. To fix this, ensure TC0 is
+enabled when setting up DCB on your switch.
+
+DCB is a configuration Quality of Service implementation in hardware. It uses
+the VLAN priority tag (802.1p) to filter traffic. That means that there are 8
+different priorities that traffic can be filtered into. It also enables
+priority flow control (802.1Qbb) which can limit or eliminate the number of
+dropped packets during network stress. Bandwidth can be allocated to each of
+these priorities, which is enforced at the hardware level (802.1Qaz).
+
+Adapter firmware implements LLDP and DCBX protocol agents as per 802.1AB and
+802.1Qaz respectively. The firmware based DCBX agent runs in willing mode only
+and can accept settings from a DCBX capable peer. Software configuration of
+DCBX parameters via dcbtool/lldptool are not supported.
+
+The ixgbe driver implements the DCB netlink interface layer to allow user-space
+to communicate with the driver and query DCB configuration for the port.
+
+ethtool
+-------
+The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
+diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The latest ethtool
+version is required for this functionality. Download it at:
+https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
+
+FCoE
+----
+The ixgbe driver supports Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Data Center
+Bridging (DCB). This code has no default effect on the regular driver
+operation. Configuring DCB and FCoE is outside the scope of this README. Refer
+to http://www.open-fcoe.org/ for FCoE project information and contact
+ixgbe-eedc@lists.sourceforge.net for DCB information.
+
+MAC and VLAN anti-spoofing feature
+----------------------------------
+When a malicious driver attempts to send a spoofed packet, it is dropped by the
+hardware and not transmitted.
+
+An interrupt is sent to the PF driver notifying it of the spoof attempt. When a
+spoofed packet is detected, the PF driver will send the following message to
+the system log (displayed by the "dmesg" command)::
+
+ ixgbe ethX: ixgbe_spoof_check: n spoofed packets detected
+
+where "x" is the PF interface number; and "n" is number of spoofed packets.
+NOTE: This feature can be disabled for a specific Virtual Function (VF)::
+
+ ip link set <pf dev> vf <vf id> spoofchk {off|on}
+

-Flow Control
-------------
-Ethernet Flow Control (IEEE 802.3x) can be configured with ethtool to enable
-receiving and transmitting pause frames for ixgbe. When TX is enabled, PAUSE
-frames are generated when the receive packet buffer crosses a predefined
-threshold. When rx is enabled, the transmit unit will halt for the time delay
-specified when a PAUSE frame is received.
-
-Flow Control is enabled by default. If you want to disable a flow control
-capable link partner, use ethtool:
-
- ethtool -A eth? autoneg off RX off TX off
-
-NOTE: For 82598 backplane cards entering 1 gig mode, flow control default
-behavior is changed to off. Flow control in 1 gig mode on these devices can
-lead to Tx hangs.
-
-Intel(R) Ethernet Flow Director
--------------------------------
-Supports advanced filters that direct receive packets by their flows to
-different queues. Enables tight control on routing a flow in the platform.
-Matches flows and CPU cores for flow affinity. Supports multiple parameters
-for flexible flow classification and load balancing.
-
-Flow director is enabled only if the kernel is multiple TX queue capable.
-
-An included script (set_irq_affinity.sh) automates setting the IRQ to CPU
-affinity.
-
-You can verify that the driver is using Flow Director by looking at the counter
-in ethtool: fdir_miss and fdir_match.
-
-Other ethtool Commands:
-To enable Flow Director
- ethtool -K ethX ntuple on
-To add a filter
- Use -U switch. e.g., ethtool -U ethX flow-type tcp4 src-ip 10.0.128.23

-funnels all flow into queue_0 unless an alternative queue is specified using
-"action". In that case, any flow that matches the filter criteria will be
-directed to the appropriate queue.
-
-If the queue is defined as -1, filter will drop matching packets.
-
-To account for filter matches and misses, there are two stats in ethtool:
-fdir_match and fdir_miss. In addition, rx_queue_N_packets shows the number of
-packets processed by the Nth queue.
-
-NOTE: Receive Packet Steering (RPS) and Receive Flow Steering (RFS) are not
-compatible with Flow Director. IF Flow Director is enabled, these will be
-disabled.
-
-The following three parameters impact Flow Director.
-
-FdirMode
---------
-Valid Range: 0-2 (0=off, 1=ATR, 2=Perfect filter mode)
-Default Value: 1
-
- Flow Director filtering modes.
-
-FdirPballoc
------------
-Valid Range: 0-2 (0=64k, 1=128k, 2=256k)
-Default Value: 0
-
- Flow Director allocated packet buffer size.
-
-AtrSampleRate
---------------
-Valid Range: 1-100
-Default Value: 20
-
- Software ATR Tx packet sample rate. For example, when set to 20, every 20th
- packet, looks to see if the packet will create a new flow.
-
-Node
-----
-Valid Range: 0-n
-Default Value: 1 (off)
-
- 0 - n: where n is the number of NUMA nodes (i.e. 0 - 3) currently online in
- your system
- 1: turns this option off
-
- The Node parameter will allow you to pick which NUMA node you want to have
- the adapter allocate memory on.
-
-max_vfs
--------
-Valid Range: 1-63
-Default Value: 0
-
- If the value is greater than 0 it will also force the VMDq parameter to be 1
- or more.
-
- This parameter adds support for SR-IOV. It causes the driver to spawn up to
- max_vfs worth of virtual function.
-
-
-Additional Configurations
-=========================
-
- Jumbo Frames
- ------------
- The driver supports Jumbo Frames for all adapters. Jumbo Frames support is
- enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than the default of 1500.
- The maximum value for the MTU is 16110. Use the ip command to
- increase the MTU size. For example:
-
- ip link set dev ethx mtu 9000
-
- The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 9710. This value coincides
- with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 9728.
-
- Generic Receive Offload, aka GRO
- --------------------------------
- The driver supports the in-kernel software implementation of GRO. GRO has
- shown that by coalescing Rx traffic into larger chunks of data, CPU
- utilization can be significantly reduced when under large Rx load. GRO is an
- evolution of the previously-used LRO interface. GRO is able to coalesce
- other protocols besides TCP. It's also safe to use with configurations that
- are problematic for LRO, namely bridging and iSCSI.
-
- Data Center Bridging, aka DCB
- -----------------------------
- DCB is a configuration Quality of Service implementation in hardware.
- It uses the VLAN priority tag (802.1p) to filter traffic. That means
- that there are 8 different priorities that traffic can be filtered into.
- It also enables priority flow control which can limit or eliminate the
- number of dropped packets during network stress. Bandwidth can be
- allocated to each of these priorities, which is enforced at the hardware
- level.
-
- To enable DCB support in ixgbe, you must enable the DCB netlink layer to
- allow the userspace tools (see below) to communicate with the driver.
- This can be found in the kernel configuration here:
-
- -> Networking support
- -> Networking options
- -> Data Center Bridging support
-
- Once this is selected, DCB support must be selected for ixgbe. This can
- be found here:
-
- -> Device Drivers
- -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y])
- -> Ethernet (10000 Mbit) (NETDEV_10000 [=y])
- -> Intel(R) 10GbE PCI Express adapters support
- -> Data Center Bridging (DCB) Support
-
- After these options are selected, you must rebuild your kernel and your
- modules.
-
- In order to use DCB, userspace tools must be downloaded and installed.
- The dcbd tools can be found at:
-
- http://e1000.sf.net
-
- Ethtool
- -------
- The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
- diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The latest
- ethtool version is required for this functionality.
-
- The latest release of ethtool can be found from
- https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/
-
- FCoE
- ----
- This release of the ixgbe driver contains new code to enable users to use
- Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Data Center Bridging (DCB)
- functionality that is supported by the 82598-based hardware. This code has
- no default effect on the regular driver operation, and configuring DCB and
- FCoE is outside the scope of this driver README. Refer to
- http://www.open-fcoe.org/ for FCoE project information and contact
- e1000-eedc@lists.sourceforge.net for DCB information.
-
- MAC and VLAN anti-spoofing feature
- ----------------------------------
- When a malicious driver attempts to send a spoofed packet, it is dropped by
- the hardware and not transmitted. An interrupt is sent to the PF driver
- notifying it of the spoof attempt.
-
- When a spoofed packet is detected the PF driver will send the following
- message to the system log (displayed by the "dmesg" command):
-
- Spoof event(s) detected on VF (n)
-
- Where n=the VF that attempted to do the spoofing.

-Known Issues
-============
-
- Enabling SR-IOV in a 32-bit or 64-bit Microsoft* Windows* Server 2008/R2
- Guest OS using Intel (R) 82576-based GbE or Intel (R) 82599-based 10GbE
- controller under KVM
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- KVM Hypervisor/VMM supports direct assignment of a PCIe device to a VM. This
- includes traditional PCIe devices, as well as SR-IOV-capable devices using
- Intel 82576-based and 82599-based controllers.
-
- While direct assignment of a PCIe device or an SR-IOV Virtual Function (VF)
- to a Linux-based VM running 2.6.32 or later kernel works fine, there is a
- known issue with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 VM that results in a "yellow
- bang" error. This problem is within the KVM VMM itself, not the Intel driver,
- or the SR-IOV logic of the VMM, but rather that KVM emulates an older CPU
- model for the guests, and this older CPU model does not support MSI-X
- interrupts, which is a requirement for Intel SR-IOV.
-
- If you wish to use the Intel 82576 or 82599-based controllers in SR-IOV mode
- with KVM and a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 guest try the following
- workaround. The workaround is to tell KVM to emulate a different model of CPU
- when using qemu to create the KVM guest:
-
- "-cpu qemu64,model=13"

-- Congestion control
-- How the new TCP output machine [nyi] works
-
-Congestion control
-==================
-
-The following variables are used in the tcp_sock for congestion control:
-snd_cwnd The size of the congestion window
-snd_ssthresh Slow start threshold. We are in slow start if
- snd_cwnd is less than this.
-snd_cwnd_cnt A counter used to slow down the rate of increase
- once we exceed slow start threshold.
-snd_cwnd_clamp This is the maximum size that snd_cwnd can grow to.
-snd_cwnd_stamp Timestamp for when congestion window last validated.
-snd_cwnd_used Used as a highwater mark for how much of the
- congestion window is in use. It is used to adjust
- snd_cwnd down when the link is limited by the
- application rather than the network.
-
-As of 2.6.13, Linux supports pluggable congestion control algorithms.
-A congestion control mechanism can be registered through functions in
-tcp_cong.c. The functions used by the congestion control mechanism are
-registered via passing a tcp_congestion_ops struct to
-tcp_register_congestion_control. As a minimum, the congestion control
-mechanism must provide a valid name and must implement either ssthresh,
-cong_avoid and undo_cwnd hooks or the "omnipotent" cong_control hook.
-
-Private data for a congestion control mechanism is stored in tp->ca_priv.
-tcp_ca(tp) returns a pointer to this space. This is preallocated space - it
-is important to check the size of your private data will fit this space, or
-alternatively, space could be allocated elsewhere and a pointer to it could
-be stored here.
-
-There are three kinds of congestion control algorithms currently: The
-simplest ones are derived from TCP reno (highspeed, scalable) and just
-provide an alternative congestion window calculation. More complex
-ones like BIC try to look at other events to provide better
-heuristics. There are also round trip time based algorithms like
-Vegas and Westwood+.
-
-Good TCP congestion control is a complex problem because the algorithm
-needs to maintain fairness and performance. Please review current
-research and RFC's before developing new modules.
-
-The default congestion control mechanism is chosen based on the
-DEFAULT_TCP_CONG Kconfig parameter. If you really want a particular default
-value then you can set it using sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control. The
-module will be autoloaded if needed and you will get the expected protocol. If
-you ask for an unknown congestion method, then the sysctl attempt will fail.
-
-If you remove a TCP congestion control module, then you will get the next
-available one. Since reno cannot be built as a module, and cannot be
-removed, it will always be available.
-
-How the new TCP output machine [nyi] works.
-===========================================
-
-Data is kept on a single queue. The skb->users flag tells us if the frame is
-one that has been queued already. To add a frame we throw it on the end. Ack
-walks down the list from the start.
-
-We keep a set of control flags
-
-
- sk->tcp_pend_event
-
- TCP_PEND_ACK Ack needed
- TCP_ACK_NOW Needed now
- TCP_WINDOW Window update check
- TCP_WINZERO Zero probing
-
-
- sk->transmit_queue The transmission frame begin
- sk->transmit_new First new frame pointer
- sk->transmit_end Where to add frames
-
- sk->tcp_last_tx_ack Last ack seen
- sk->tcp_dup_ack Dup ack count for fast retransmit
-
-
-Frames are queued for output by tcp_write. We do our best to send the frames
-off immediately if possible, but otherwise queue and compute the body
-checksum in the copy.
-
-When a write is done we try to clear any pending events and piggy back them.
-If the window is full we queue full sized frames. On the first timeout in
-zero window we split this.
-
-On a timer we walk the retransmit list to send any retransmits, update the
-backoff timers etc. A change of route table stamp causes a change of header
-and recompute. We add any new tcp level headers and refinish the checksum
-before sending.

+
+Linux Kernel Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct Interpretation
+================================================================
+
+The :ref:`code_of_conduct` is a general document meant to
+provide a set of rules for almost any open source community. Every
+open-source community is unique and the Linux kernel is no exception.
+Because of this, this document describes how we in the Linux kernel
+community will interpret it. We also do not expect this interpretation
+to be static over time, and will adjust it as needed.
+
+The Linux kernel development effort is a very personal process compared
+to "traditional" ways of developing software. Your contributions and
+ideas behind them will be carefully reviewed, often resulting in
+critique and criticism. The review will almost always require
+improvements before the material can be included in the
+kernel. Know that this happens because everyone involved wants to see
+the best possible solution for the overall success of Linux. This
+development process has been proven to create the most robust operating
+system kernel ever, and we do not want to do anything to cause the
+quality of submission and eventual result to ever decrease.
+
+Maintainers
+-----------
+
+The Code of Conduct uses the term "maintainers" numerous times. In the
+kernel community, a "maintainer" is anyone who is responsible for a
+subsystem, driver, or file, and is listed in the MAINTAINERS file in the
+kernel source tree.
+
+Responsibilities
+----------------
+
+The Code of Conduct mentions rights and responsibilities for
+maintainers, and this needs some further clarifications.
+
+First and foremost, it is a reasonable expectation to have maintainers
+lead by example.
+
+That being said, our community is vast and broad, and there is no new
+requirement for maintainers to unilaterally handle how other people
+behave in the parts of the community where they are active. That
+responsibility is upon all of us, and ultimately the Code of Conduct
+documents final escalation paths in case of unresolved concerns
+regarding conduct issues.
+
+Maintainers should be willing to help when problems occur, and work with
+others in the community when needed. Do not be afraid to reach out to
+the Technical Advisory Board (TAB) or other maintainers if you're
+uncertain how to handle situations that come up. It will not be
+considered a violation report unless you want it to be. If you are
+uncertain about approaching the TAB or any other maintainers, please
+reach out to our conflict mediator, Mishi Choudhary <mishi@linux.com>.
+
+In the end, "be kind to each other" is really what the end goal is for
+everybody. We know everyone is human and we all fail at times, but the
+primary goal for all of us should be to work toward amicable resolutions
+of problems. Enforcement of the code of conduct will only be a last
+resort option.
+
+Our goal of creating a robust and technically advanced operating system
+and the technical complexity involved naturally require expertise and
+decision-making.
+
+The required expertise varies depending on the area of contribution. It
+is determined mainly by context and technical complexity and only
+secondary by the expectations of contributors and maintainers.
+
+Both the expertise expectations and decision-making are subject to
+discussion, but at the very end there is a basic necessity to be able to
+make decisions in order to make progress. This prerogative is in the
+hands of maintainers and project's leadership and is expected to be used
+in good faith.
+
+As a consequence, setting expertise expectations, making decisions and
+rejecting unsuitable contributions are not viewed as a violation of the
+Code of Conduct.
+
+While maintainers are in general welcoming to newcomers, their capacity
+of helping contributors overcome the entry hurdles is limited, so they
+have to set priorities. This, also, is not to be seen as a violation of
+the Code of Conduct. The kernel community is aware of that and provides
+entry level programs in various forms like kernelnewbies.org.
+
+Scope
+-----
+
+The Linux kernel community primarily interacts on a set of public email
+lists distributed around a number of different servers controlled by a
+number of different companies or individuals. All of these lists are
+defined in the MAINTAINERS file in the kernel source tree. Any emails
+sent to those mailing lists are considered covered by the Code of
+Conduct.
+
+Developers who use the kernel.org bugzilla, and other subsystem bugzilla
+or bug tracking tools should follow the guidelines of the Code of
+Conduct. The Linux kernel community does not have an "official" project
+email address, or "official" social media address. Any activity
+performed using a kernel.org email account must follow the Code of
+Conduct as published for kernel.org, just as any individual using a
+corporate email account must follow the specific rules of that
+corporation.
+
+The Code of Conduct does not prohibit continuing to include names, email
+addresses, and associated comments in mailing list messages, kernel
+change log messages, or code comments.
+
+Interaction in other forums is covered by whatever rules apply to said
+forums and is in general not covered by the Code of Conduct. Exceptions
+may be considered for extreme circumstances.
+
+Contributions submitted for the kernel should use appropriate language.
+Content that already exists predating the Code of Conduct will not be
+addressed now as a violation. Inappropriate language can be seen as a
+bug, though; such bugs will be fixed more quickly if any interested
+parties submit patches to that effect. Expressions that are currently
+part of the user/kernel API, or reflect terminology used in published
+standards or specifications, are not considered bugs.
+
+Enforcement
+-----------
+
+The address listed in the Code of Conduct goes to the Code of Conduct
+Committee. The exact members receiving these emails at any given time
+are listed at https://kernel.org/code-of-conduct.html. Members can not
+access reports made before they joined or after they have left the
+committee.
+
+The initial Code of Conduct Committee consists of volunteer members of
+the TAB, as well as a professional mediator acting as a neutral third
+party. The first task of the committee is to establish documented
+processes, which will be made public.
+
+Any member of the committee, including the mediator, can be contacted
+directly if a reporter does not wish to include the full committee in a
+complaint or concern.
+
+The Code of Conduct Committee reviews the cases according to the
+processes (see above) and consults with the TAB as needed and
+appropriate, for instance to request and receive information about the
+kernel community.
+
+Any decisions by the committee will be brought to the TAB, for
+implementation of enforcement with the relevant maintainers if needed.
+A decision by the Code of Conduct Committee can be overturned by the TAB
+by a two-thirds vote.
+
+At quarterly intervals, the Code of Conduct Committee and TAB will
+provide a report summarizing the anonymised reports that the Code of
+Conduct committee has received and their status, as well details of any
+overridden decisions including complete and identifiable voting details.
+
+We expect to establish a different process for Code of Conduct Committee
+staffing beyond the bootstrap period. This document will be updated
+with that information when this occurs.

+=====================================================================
+Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes, and Conventions
+=====================================================================
+
+In a perfect world, it would be possible to convert all instances of
+some deprecated API into the new API and entirely remove the old API in
+a single development cycle. However, due to the size of the kernel, the
+maintainership hierarchy, and timing, it's not always feasible to do these
+kinds of conversions at once. This means that new instances may sneak into
+the kernel while old ones are being removed, only making the amount of
+work to remove the API grow. In order to educate developers about what
+has been deprecated and why, this list has been created as a place to
+point when uses of deprecated things are proposed for inclusion in the
+kernel.
+
+__deprecated
+------------
+While this attribute does visually mark an interface as deprecated,
+it `does not produce warnings during builds any more
+<https://git.kernel.org/linus/771c035372a036f83353eef46dbb829780330234>`_
+because one of the standing goals of the kernel is to build without
+warnings and no one was actually doing anything to remove these deprecated
+interfaces. While using `__deprecated` is nice to note an old API in
+a header file, it isn't the full solution. Such interfaces must either
+be fully removed from the kernel, or added to this file to discourage
+others from using them in the future.
+
+open-coded arithmetic in allocator arguments
+--------------------------------------------
+Dynamic size calculations (especially multiplication) should not be
+performed in memory allocator (or similar) function arguments due to the
+risk of them overflowing. This could lead to values wrapping around and a
+smaller allocation being made than the caller was expecting. Using those
+allocations could lead to linear overflows of heap memory and other
+misbehaviors. (One exception to this is literal values where the compiler
+can warn if they might overflow. Though using literals for arguments as
+suggested below is also harmless.)
+
+For example, do not use ``count * size`` as an argument, as in::
+
+ foo = kmalloc(count * size, GFP_KERNEL);
+
+Instead, the 2-factor form of the allocator should be used::
+
+ foo = kmalloc_array(count, size, GFP_KERNEL);
+
+If no 2-factor form is available, the saturate-on-overflow helpers should
+be used::
+
+ bar = vmalloc(array_size(count, size));
+
+Another common case to avoid is calculating the size of a structure with
+a trailing array of others structures, as in::
+
+ header = kzalloc(sizeof(*header) + count * sizeof(*header->item),
+ GFP_KERNEL);
+
+Instead, use the helper::
+
+ header = kzalloc(struct_size(header, item, count), GFP_KERNEL);
+
+See :c:func:`array_size`, :c:func:`array3_size`, and :c:func:`struct_size`,
+for more details as well as the related :c:func:`check_add_overflow` and
+:c:func:`check_mul_overflow` family of functions.
+
+simple_strtol(), simple_strtoll(), simple_strtoul(), simple_strtoull()
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+The :c:func:`simple_strtol`, :c:func:`simple_strtoll`,
+:c:func:`simple_strtoul`, and :c:func:`simple_strtoull` functions
+explicitly ignore overflows, which may lead to unexpected results
+in callers. The respective :c:func:`kstrtol`, :c:func:`kstrtoll`,
+:c:func:`kstrtoul`, and :c:func:`kstrtoull` functions tend to be the
+correct replacements, though note that those require the string to be
+NUL or newline terminated.
+
+strcpy()
+--------
+:c:func:`strcpy` performs no bounds checking on the destination
+buffer. This could result in linear overflows beyond the
+end of the buffer, leading to all kinds of misbehaviors. While
+`CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y` and various compiler flags help reduce the
+risk of using this function, there is no good reason to add new uses of
+this function. The safe replacement is :c:func:`strscpy`.
+
+strncpy() on NUL-terminated strings
+-----------------------------------
+Use of :c:func:`strncpy` does not guarantee that the destination buffer
+will be NUL terminated. This can lead to various linear read overflows
+and other misbehavior due to the missing termination. It also NUL-pads the
+destination buffer if the source contents are shorter than the destination
+buffer size, which may be a needless performance penalty for callers using
+only NUL-terminated strings. The safe replacement is :c:func:`strscpy`.
+(Users of :c:func:`strscpy` still needing NUL-padding will need an
+explicit :c:func:`memset` added.)
+
+If a caller is using non-NUL-terminated strings, :c:func:`strncpy()` can
+still be used, but destinations should be marked with the `__nonstring
+<https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html>`_
+attribute to avoid future compiler warnings.
+
+strlcpy()
+---------
+:c:func:`strlcpy` reads the entire source buffer first, possibly exceeding
+the given limit of bytes to copy. This is inefficient and can lead to
+linear read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated. The
+safe replacement is :c:func:`strscpy`.
+
+Variable Length Arrays (VLAs)
+-----------------------------
+Using stack VLAs produces much worse machine code than statically
+sized stack arrays. While these non-trivial `performance issues
+<https://git.kernel.org/linus/02361bc77888>`_ are reason enough to
+eliminate VLAs, they are also a security risk. Dynamic growth of a stack
+array may exceed the remaining memory in the stack segment. This could
+lead to a crash, possible overwriting sensitive contents at the end of the
+stack (when built without `CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y`), or overwriting
+memory adjacent to the stack (when built without `CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y`)

-completions - wait for completion handling
-==========================================
-
-This document was originally written based on 3.18.0 (linux-next)
+Completions - "wait for completion" barrier APIs
+================================================
Introduction:
-------------
-If you have one or more threads of execution that must wait for some process
+If you have one or more threads that must wait for some kernel activity
to have reached a point or a specific state, completions can provide a
race-free solution to this problem. Semantically they are somewhat like a
-pthread_barrier and have similar use-cases.
+pthread_barrier() and have similar use-cases.
Completions are a code synchronization mechanism which is preferable to any
-misuse of locks. Any time you think of using yield() or some quirky
-msleep(1) loop to allow something else to proceed, you probably want to
-look into using one of the wait_for_completion*() calls instead. The
-advantage of using completions is clear intent of the code, but also more
-efficient code as both threads can continue until the result is actually
-needed.
-
-Completions are built on top of the generic event infrastructure in Linux,
-with the event reduced to a simple flag (appropriately called "done") in
-struct completion that tells the waiting threads of execution if they
-can continue safely.
-
-As completions are scheduling related, the code is found in
+misuse of locks/semaphores and busy-loops. Any time you think of using
+yield() or some quirky msleep(1) loop to allow something else to proceed,
+you probably want to look into using one of the wait_for_completion*()
+calls and complete() instead.
+
+The advantage of using completions is that they have a well defined, focused
+purpose which makes it very easy to see the intent of the code, but they
+also result in more efficient code as all threads can continue execution
+until the result is actually needed, and both the waiting and the signalling
+is highly efficient using low level scheduler sleep/wakeup facilities.
+
+Completions are built on top of the waitqueue and wakeup infrastructure of
+the Linux scheduler. The event the threads on the waitqueue are waiting for
+is reduced to a simple flag in 'struct completion', appropriately called "done".
+
+As completions are scheduling related, the code can be found in
kernel/sched/completion.c.
Usage:
------
-There are three parts to using completions, the initialization of the
-struct completion, the waiting part through a call to one of the variants of
-wait_for_completion() and the signaling side through a call to complete()
-or complete_all(). Further there are some helper functions for checking the
-state of completions.
+There are three main parts to using completions:
+
+ - the initialization of the 'struct completion' synchronization object
+ - the waiting part through a call to one of the variants of wait_for_completion(),
+ - the signaling side through a call to complete() or complete_all().
+
+There are also some helper functions for checking the state of completions.
+Note that while initialization must happen first, the waiting and signaling
+part can happen in any order. I.e. it's entirely normal for a thread
+to have marked a completion as 'done' before another thread checks whether
+it has to wait for it.
-To use completions one needs to include <linux/completion.h> and
-create a variable of type struct completion. The structure used for
-handling of completions is:
+To use completions you need to #include <linux/completion.h> and
+create a static or dynamic variable of type 'struct completion',
+which has only two fields:
struct completion {
unsigned int done;
wait_queue_head_t wait;
};
-providing the wait queue to place tasks on for waiting and the flag for
-indicating the state of affairs.
+This provides the ->wait waitqueue to place tasks on for waiting (if any), and
+the ->done completion flag for indicating whether it's completed or not.
-Completions should be named to convey the intent of the waiter. A good
-example is:
+Completions should be named to refer to the event that is being synchronized on.
+A good example is:
wait_for_completion(&early_console_added);
complete(&early_console_added);
-Good naming (as always) helps code readability.
+Good, intuitive naming (as always) helps code readability. Naming a completion
+'complete' is not helpful unless the purpose is super obvious...
Initializing completions:
-------------------------
-Initialization of dynamically allocated completions, often embedded in
-other structures, is done with:
+Dynamically allocated completion objects should preferably be embedded in data
+structures that are assured to be alive for the life-time of the function/driver,
+to prevent races with asynchronous complete() calls from occurring.
+
+Particular care should be taken when using the _timeout() or _killable()/_interruptible()
+variants of wait_for_completion(), as it must be assured that memory de-allocation
+does not happen until all related activities (complete() or reinit_completion())
+have taken place, even if these wait functions return prematurely due to a timeout
+or a signal triggering.
+
+Initializing of dynamically allocated completion objects is done via a call to
+init_completion():
- void init_completion(&done);
+ init_completion(&dynamic_object->done);
-Initialization is accomplished by initializing the wait queue and setting
-the default state to "not available", that is, "done" is set to 0.
+In this call we initialize the waitqueue and set ->done to 0, i.e. "not completed"
+or "not done".
The re-initialization function, reinit_completion(), simply resets the
-done element to "not available", thus again to 0, without touching the
-wait queue. Calling init_completion() twice on the same completion object is
+->done field to 0 ("not done"), without touching the waitqueue.
+Callers of this function must make sure that there are no racy
+wait_for_completion() calls going on in parallel.
+
+Calling init_completion() on the same completion object twice is
most likely a bug as it re-initializes the queue to an empty queue and
-enqueued tasks could get "lost" - use reinit_completion() in that case.
+enqueued tasks could get "lost" - use reinit_completion() in that case,
+but be aware of other races.
+
+For static declaration and initialization, macros are available.
+
+For static (or global) declarations in file scope you can use DECLARE_COMPLETION():
-For static declaration and initialization, macros are available. These are:
+ static DECLARE_COMPLETION(setup_done);
+ DECLARE_COMPLETION(setup_done);
- static DECLARE_COMPLETION(setup_done)
+Note that in this case the completion is boot time (or module load time)
+initialized to 'not done' and doesn't require an init_completion() call.
-used for static declarations in file scope. Within functions the static
-initialization should always use:
+When a completion is declared as a local variable within a function,
+then the initialization should always use DECLARE_COMPLETION_ONSTACK()
+explicitly, not just to make lockdep happy, but also to make it clear
+that limited scope had been considered and is intentional:
DECLARE_COMPLETION_ONSTACK(setup_done)
-suitable for automatic/local variables on the stack and will make lockdep
-happy. Note also that one needs to make *sure* the completion passed to
-work threads remains in-scope, and no references remain to on-stack data
-when the initiating function returns.
+Note that when using completion objects as local variables you must be
+acutely aware of the short life time of the function stack: the function
+must not return to a calling context until all activities (such as waiting
+threads) have ceased and the completion object is completely unused.
-Using on-stack completions for code that calls any of the _timeout or
-_interruptible/_killable variants is not advisable as they will require
-additional synchronization to prevent the on-stack completion object in
-the timeout/signal cases from going out of scope. Consider using dynamically
-allocated completions when intending to use the _interruptible/_killable
-or _timeout variants of wait_for_completion().
+To emphasise this again: in particular when using some of the waiting API variants
+with more complex outcomes, such as the timeout or signalling (_timeout(),
+_killable() and _interruptible()) variants, the wait might complete
+prematurely while the object might still be in use by another thread - and a return
+from the wait_on_completion*() caller function will deallocate the function
+stack and cause subtle data corruption if a complete() is done in some
+other thread. Simple testing might not trigger these kinds of races.
+If unsure, use dynamically allocated completion objects, preferably embedded
+in some other long lived object that has a boringly long life time which
+exceeds the life time of any helper threads using the completion object,
+or has a lock or other synchronization mechanism to make sure complete()
+is not called on a freed object.
+
+A naive DECLARE_COMPLETION() on the stack triggers a lockdep warning.
Waiting for completions:
------------------------
-For a thread of execution to wait for some concurrent work to finish, it
-calls wait_for_completion() on the initialized completion structure.
+For a thread to wait for some concurrent activity to finish, it
+calls wait_for_completion() on the initialized completion structure:
+
+ void wait_for_completion(struct completion *done)
+
A typical usage scenario is:
+ CPU#1 CPU#2
+
struct completion setup_done;
+
init_completion(&setup_done);
- initialize_work(...,&setup_done,...)
+ initialize_work(...,&setup_done,...);

+Notes:
+
+ - Negative addresses such as "-23 TB" are absolute addresses in bytes, counted down
+ from the top of the 64-bit address space. It's easier to understand the layout
+ when seen both in absolute addresses and in distance-from-top notation.
+
+ For example 0xffffe90000000000 == -23 TB, it's 23 TB lower than the top of the
+ 64-bit address space (ffffffffffffffff).
+
+ Note that as we get closer to the top of the address space, the notation changes
+ from TB to GB and then MB/KB.
+
+ - "16M TB" might look weird at first sight, but it's an easier to visualize size
+ notation than "16 EB", which few will recognize at first sight as 16 exabytes.
+ It also shows it nicely how incredibly large 64-bit address space is.
