+Queue sysfs files
+=================
+
+This text file will detail the queue files that are located in the sysfs tree
+for each block device. Note that stacked devices typically do not export
+any settings, since their queue merely functions are a remapping target.
+These files are the ones found in the /sys/block/xxx/queue/ directory.
+
+Files denoted with a RO postfix are readonly and the RW postfix means
+read-write.
+
+hw_sector_size (RO)
+-------------------
+This is the hardware sector size of the device, in bytes.
+
+max_hw_sectors_kb (RO)
+----------------------
+This is the maximum number of kilobytes supported in a single data transfer.
+
+max_sectors_kb (RW)
+-------------------
+This is the maximum number of kilobytes that the block layer will allow
+for a filesystem request. Must be smaller than or equal to the maximum
+size allowed by the hardware.
+
+nomerges (RW)
+-------------
+This enables the user to disable the lookup logic involved with IO merging
+requests in the block layer. Merging may still occur through a direct
+1-hit cache, since that comes for (almost) free. The IO scheduler will not
+waste cycles doing tree/hash lookups for merges if nomerges is 1. Defaults
+to 0, enabling all merges.
+
+nr_requests (RW)
+----------------
+This controls how many requests may be allocated in the block layer for
+read or write requests. Note that the total allocated number may be twice
+this amount, since it applies only to reads or writes (not the accumulated
+sum).
+
+read_ahead_kb (RW)
+------------------
+Maximum number of kilobytes to read-ahead for filesystems on this block
+device.
+
+rq_affinity (RW)
+----------------
+If this option is enabled, the block layer will migrate request completions
+to the CPU that originally submitted the request. For some workloads
+this provides a significant reduction in CPU cycles due to caching effects.
+
+scheduler (RW)
+--------------
+When read, this file will display the current and available IO schedulers
+for this block device. The currently active IO scheduler will be enclosed
+in [] brackets. Writing an IO scheduler name to this file will switch
+control of this block device to that new IO scheduler. Note that writing
+an IO scheduler name to this file will attempt to load that IO scheduler
+module, if it isn't already present in the system.

-
-vfs_cache_pressure
-------------------
-
-Controls the tendency of the kernel to reclaim the memory which is used for
-caching of directory and inode objects.
-
-At the default value of vfs_cache_pressure=100 the kernel will attempt to
-reclaim dentries and inodes at a "fair" rate with respect to pagecache and

-
-The pdflush writeback daemons will periodically wake up and write `old' data

-100'ths of a second.
-
-Setting this to zero disables periodic writeback altogether.
-
-dirty_expire_centisecs
-----------------------
-
-This tunable is used to define when dirty data is old enough to be eligible
-for writeout by the pdflush daemons. It is expressed in 100'ths of a second.
-Data which has been dirty in-memory for longer than this interval will be
-written out next time a pdflush daemon wakes up.
-
-highmem_is_dirtyable
---------------------
-
-Only present if CONFIG_HIGHMEM is set.
-
-This defaults to 0 (false), meaning that the ratios set above are calculated
-as a percentage of lowmem only. This protects against excessive scanning
-in page reclaim, swapping and general VM distress.
-
-Setting this to 1 can be useful on 32 bit machines where you want to make
-random changes within an MMAPed file that is larger than your available
-lowmem without causing large quantities of random IO. Is is safe if the
-behavior of all programs running on the machine is known and memory will
-not be otherwise stressed.
-
-legacy_va_layout
-----------------
-
-If non-zero, this sysctl disables the new 32-bit mmap mmap layout - the kernel
-will use the legacy (2.4) layout for all processes.
-
-lowmem_reserve_ratio
----------------------
-
-For some specialised workloads on highmem machines it is dangerous for
-the kernel to allow process memory to be allocated from the "lowmem"
-zone. This is because that memory could then be pinned via the mlock()
-system call, or by unavailability of swapspace.
-
-And on large highmem machines this lack of reclaimable lowmem memory
-can be fatal.
-
-So the Linux page allocator has a mechanism which prevents allocations
-which _could_ use highmem from using too much lowmem. This means that
-a certain amount of lowmem is defended from the possibility of being
-captured into pinned user memory.
-
-(The same argument applies to the old 16 megabyte ISA DMA region. This
-mechanism will also defend that region from allocations which could use
-highmem or lowmem).
-
-The `lowmem_reserve_ratio' tunable determines how aggressive the kernel is
-in defending these lower zones.
-
-If you have a machine which uses highmem or ISA DMA and your
-applications are using mlock(), or if you are running with no swap then
-you probably should change the lowmem_reserve_ratio setting.
-
-The lowmem_reserve_ratio is an array. You can see them by reading this file.
--
-% cat /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio
-256 256 32
--
-Note: # of this elements is one fewer than number of zones. Because the highest
- zone's value is not necessary for following calculation.
-
-But, these values are not used directly. The kernel calculates # of protection
-pages for each zones from them. These are shown as array of protection pages
-in /proc/zoneinfo like followings. (This is an example of x86-64 box).
-Each zone has an array of protection pages like this.

-These protections are added to score to judge whether this zone should be used
-for page allocation or should be reclaimed.
-
-In this example, if normal pages (index=2) are required to this DMA zone and
-pages_high is used for watermark, the kernel judges this zone should not be
-used because pages_free(1355) is smaller than watermark + protection[2]
-(4 + 2004 = 2008). If this protection value is 0, this zone would be used for
-normal page requirement. If requirement is DMA zone(index=0), protection[0]
-(=0) is used.
-
-zone[i]'s protection[j] is calculated by following expression.
-
-(i < j):
- zone[i]->protection[j]
- = (total sums of present_pages from zone[i+1] to zone[j] on the node)
- / lowmem_reserve_ratio[i];
-(i = j):
- (should not be protected. = 0;
-(i > j):
- (not necessary, but looks 0)
-
-The default values of lowmem_reserve_ratio[i] are
- 256 (if zone[i] means DMA or DMA32 zone)
- 32 (others).
-As above expression, they are reciprocal number of ratio.
-256 means 1/256. # of protection pages becomes about "0.39%" of total present
-pages of higher zones on the node.
-
-If you would like to protect more pages, smaller values are effective.
-The minimum value is 1 (1/1 -> 100%).
-
-page-cluster
-------------
-
-page-cluster controls the number of pages which are written to swap in
-a single attempt. The swap I/O size.
-
-It is a logarithmic value - setting it to zero means "1 page", setting
-it to 1 means "2 pages", setting it to 2 means "4 pages", etc.
-
-The default value is three (eight pages at a time). There may be some
-small benefits in tuning this to a different value if your workload is
-swap-intensive.
-
-overcommit_memory
------------------
-
-Controls overcommit of system memory, possibly allowing processes
-to allocate (but not use) more memory than is actually available.
-
-
-0 - Heuristic overcommit handling. Obvious overcommits of
- address space are refused. Used for a typical system. It
- ensures a seriously wild allocation fails while allowing
- overcommit to reduce swap usage. root is allowed to
- allocate slightly more memory in this mode. This is the
- default.
-
-1 - Always overcommit. Appropriate for some scientific
- applications.
-
-2 - Don't overcommit. The total address space commit
- for the system is not permitted to exceed swap plus a
- configurable percentage (default is 50) of physical RAM.
- Depending on the percentage you use, in most situations
- this means a process will not be killed while attempting
- to use already-allocated memory but will receive errors
- on memory allocation as appropriate.
-
-overcommit_ratio
-----------------
-
-Percentage of physical memory size to include in overcommit calculations
-(see above.)
-
-Memory allocation limit = swapspace + physmem * (overcommit_ratio / 100)
-
- swapspace = total size of all swap areas
- physmem = size of physical memory in system
-
-nr_hugepages and hugetlb_shm_group
-----------------------------------
-
-nr_hugepages configures number of hugetlb page reserved for the system.
-
-hugetlb_shm_group contains group id that is allowed to create SysV shared
-memory segment using hugetlb page.
-
-hugepages_treat_as_movable
---------------------------
-
-This parameter is only useful when kernelcore= is specified at boot time to
-create ZONE_MOVABLE for pages that may be reclaimed or migrated. Huge pages
-are not movable so are not normally allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE. A non-zero
-value written to hugepages_treat_as_movable allows huge pages to be allocated
-from ZONE_MOVABLE.
-
-Once enabled, the ZONE_MOVABLE is treated as an area of memory the huge
-pages pool can easily grow or shrink within. Assuming that applications are
-not running that mlock() a lot of memory, it is likely the huge pages pool
-can grow to the size of ZONE_MOVABLE by repeatedly entering the desired value
-into nr_hugepages and triggering page reclaim.
-
-laptop_mode
------------
-
-laptop_mode is a knob that controls "laptop mode". All the things that are
-controlled by this knob are discussed in Documentation/laptops/laptop-mode.txt.
-
-block_dump
-----------
-
-block_dump enables block I/O debugging when set to a nonzero value. More
-information on block I/O debugging is in Documentation/laptops/laptop-mode.txt.
-
-swap_token_timeout
-------------------
-
-This file contains valid hold time of swap out protection token. The Linux
-VM has token based thrashing control mechanism and uses the token to prevent
-unnecessary page faults in thrashing situation. The unit of the value is
-second. The value would be useful to tune thrashing behavior.
-
-drop_caches
------------
-
-Writing to this will cause the kernel to drop clean caches, dentries and
-inodes from memory, causing that memory to become free.
-
-To free pagecache:
- echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
-To free dentries and inodes:
- echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
-To free pagecache, dentries and inodes:
- echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
-
-As this is a non-destructive operation and dirty objects are not freeable, the
-user should run `sync' first.

+MPC5200 Device Tree Bindings
+----------------------------
+
+(c) 2006-2009 Secret Lab Technologies Ltd
+Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
+
+Naming conventions
+------------------
+For mpc5200 on-chip devices, the format for each compatible value is
+<chip>-<device>[-<mode>]. The OS should be able to match a device driver
+to the device based solely on the compatible value. If two drivers
+match on the compatible list; the 'most compatible' driver should be
+selected.
+
+The split between the MPC5200 and the MPC5200B leaves a bit of a
+conundrum. How should the compatible property be set up to provide
+maximum compatibility information; but still accurately describe the
+chip? For the MPC5200; the answer is easy. Most of the SoC devices
+originally appeared on the MPC5200. Since they didn't exist anywhere
+else; the 5200 compatible properties will contain only one item;
+"fsl,mpc5200-<device>".
+
+The 5200B is almost the same as the 5200, but not quite. It fixes
+silicon bugs and it adds a small number of enhancements. Most of the
+devices either provide exactly the same interface as on the 5200. A few
+devices have extra functions but still have a backwards compatible mode.
+To express this information as completely as possible, 5200B device trees
+should have two items in the compatible list:
+ compatible = "fsl,mpc5200b-<device>","fsl,mpc5200-<device>";
+
+It is *strongly* recommended that 5200B device trees follow this convention
+(instead of only listing the base mpc5200 item).
+
+ie. ethernet on mpc5200: compatible = "fsl,mpc5200-fec";
+ ethernet on mpc5200b: compatible = "fsl,mpc5200b-fec", "fsl,mpc5200-fec";
+
+Modal devices, like PSCs, also append the configured function to the
+end of the compatible field. ie. A PSC in i2s mode would specify
+"fsl,mpc5200-psc-i2s", not "fsl,mpc5200-i2s". This convention is chosen to
+avoid naming conflicts with non-psc devices providing the same
+function. For example, "fsl,mpc5200-spi" and "fsl,mpc5200-psc-spi" describe
+the mpc5200 simple spi device and a PSC spi mode respectively.
+
+At the time of writing, exact chip may be either 'fsl,mpc5200' or
+'fsl,mpc5200b'.
+
+The soc node
+------------
+This node describes the on chip SOC peripherals. Every mpc5200 based
+board will have this node, and as such there is a common naming
+convention for SOC devices.
+
+Required properties:
+name description
+---- -----------
+ranges Memory range of the internal memory mapped registers.
+ Should be <0 [baseaddr] 0xc000>
+reg Should be <[baseaddr] 0x100>
+compatible mpc5200: "fsl,mpc5200-immr"
+ mpc5200b: "fsl,mpc5200b-immr"
+system-frequency 'fsystem' frequency in Hz; XLB, IPB, USB and PCI
+ clocks are derived from the fsystem clock.
+bus-frequency IPB bus frequency in Hz. Clock rate
+ used by most of the soc devices.
+
+soc child nodes
+---------------
+Any on chip SOC devices available to Linux must appear as soc5200 child nodes.
+
+Note: The tables below show the value for the mpc5200. A mpc5200b device
+tree should use the "fsl,mpc5200b-<device>","fsl,mpc5200-<device>" form.

+fsl,mpc5200-gpt nodes
+---------------------
+On the mpc5200 and 5200b, GPT0 has a watchdog timer function. If the board
+design supports the internal wdt, then the device node for GPT0 should
+include the empty property 'fsl,has-wdt'.
+
+An mpc5200-gpt can be used as a single line GPIO controller. To do so,
+add the following properties to the gpt node:
+ gpio-controller;
+ #gpio-cells = <2>;
+When referencing the GPIO line from another node, the first cell must always
+be zero and the second cell represents the gpio flags and described in the
+gpio device tree binding.
+
+An mpc5200-gpt can be used as a single line edge sensitive interrupt
+controller. To do so, add the following properties to the gpt node:
+ interrupt-controller;
+ #interrupt-cells = <1>;
+When referencing the IRQ line from another node, the cell represents the
+sense mode; 1 for edge rising, 2 for edge falling.
+
+fsl,mpc5200-psc nodes
+---------------------
+The PSCs should include a cell-index which is the index of the PSC in
+hardware. cell-index is used to determine which shared SoC registers to
+use when setting up PSC clocking. cell-index number starts at '0'. ie:
+ PSC1 has 'cell-index = <0>'
+ PSC4 has 'cell-index = <3>'
+
+PSC in i2s mode: The mpc5200 and mpc5200b PSCs are not compatible when in
+i2s mode. An 'mpc5200b-psc-i2s' node cannot include 'mpc5200-psc-i2s' in the
+compatible field.
+
+
+fsl,mpc5200-gpio and fsl,mpc5200-gpio-wkup nodes
+------------------------------------------------
+Each GPIO controller node should have the empty property gpio-controller and
+#gpio-cells set to 2. First cell is the GPIO number which is interpreted
+according to the bit numbers in the GPIO control registers. The second cell
+is for flags which is currently unused.
+
+fsl,mpc5200-fec nodes
+---------------------
+The FEC node can specify one of the following properties to configure
+the MII link:
+- fsl,7-wire-mode - An empty property that specifies the link uses 7-wire
+ mode instead of MII
+- current-speed - Specifies that the MII should be configured for a fixed
+ speed. This property should contain two cells. The
+ first cell specifies the speed in Mbps and the second
+ should be '0' for half duplex and '1' for full duplex
+- phy-handle - Contains a phandle to an Ethernet PHY.
+
+Interrupt controller (fsl,mpc5200-pic) node
+-------------------------------------------
+The mpc5200 pic binding splits hardware IRQ numbers into two levels. The
+split reflects the layout of the PIC hardware itself, which groups
+interrupts into one of three groups; CRIT, MAIN or PERP. Also, the
+Bestcomm dma engine has it's own set of interrupt sources which are
+cascaded off of peripheral interrupt 0, which the driver interprets as a
+fourth group, SDMA.
+
+The interrupts property for device nodes using the mpc5200 pic consists
+of three cells; <L1 L2 level>
+
+ L1 := [CRIT=0, MAIN=1, PERP=2, SDMA=3]
+ L2 := interrupt number; directly mapped from the value in the
+ "ICTL PerStat, MainStat, CritStat Encoded Register"
+ level := [LEVEL_HIGH=0, EDGE_RISING=1, EDGE_FALLING=2, LEVEL_LOW=3]
+
+For external IRQs, use the following interrupt property values (how to
+specify external interrupts is a frequently asked question):
+External interrupts:
+ external irq0: interrupts = <0 0 n>;
+ external irq1: interrupts = <1 1 n>;
+ external irq2: interrupts = <1 2 n>;
+ external irq3: interrupts = <1 3 n>;
+'n' is sense (0: level high, 1: edge rising, 2: edge falling 3: level low)

-MPC5200 Device Tree Bindings
-----------------------------
-
-(c) 2006-2007 Secret Lab Technologies Ltd
-Grant Likely <grant.likely at secretlab.ca>
-
-********** DRAFT ***********
-* WARNING: Do not depend on the stability of these bindings just yet.
-* The MPC5200 device tree conventions are still in flux
-* Keep an eye on the linuxppc-dev mailing list for more details
-********** DRAFT ***********
-
-I - Introduction
-================
-Boards supported by the arch/powerpc architecture require device tree be
-passed by the boot loader to the kernel at boot time. The device tree
-describes what devices are present on the board and how they are
-connected. The device tree can either be passed as a binary blob (as
-described in Documentation/powerpc/booting-without-of.txt), or passed
-by Open Firmware (IEEE 1275) compatible firmware using an OF compatible
-client interface API.
-
-This document specifies the requirements on the device-tree for mpc5200
-based boards. These requirements are above and beyond the details
-specified in either the Open Firmware spec or booting-without-of.txt
-
-All new mpc5200-based boards are expected to match this document. In
-cases where this document is not sufficient to support a new board port,
-this document should be updated as part of adding the new board support.
-
-II - Philosophy
-===============
-The core of this document is naming convention. The whole point of
-defining this convention is to reduce or eliminate the number of
-special cases required to support a 5200 board. If all 5200 boards
-follow the same convention, then generic 5200 support code will work
-rather than coding special cases for each new board.
-
-This section tries to capture the thought process behind why the naming
-convention is what it is.
-
-1. names
----------
-There is strong convention/requirements already established for children
-of the root node. 'cpus' describes the processor cores, 'memory'
-describes memory, and 'chosen' provides boot configuration. Other nodes
-are added to describe devices attached to the processor local bus.
-
-Following convention already established with other system-on-chip
-processors, 5200 device trees should use the name 'soc5200' for the
-parent node of on chip devices, and the root node should be its parent.
-
-Child nodes are typically named after the configured function. ie.
-the FEC node is named 'ethernet', and a PSC in uart mode is named 'serial'.
-
-2. device_type property
------------------------
-similar to the node name convention above; the device_type reflects the
-configured function of a device. ie. 'serial' for a uart and 'spi' for
-an spi controller. However, while node names *should* reflect the
-configured function, device_type *must* match the configured function
-exactly.
-
-3. compatible property
-----------------------
-Since device_type isn't enough to match devices to drivers, there also
-needs to be a naming convention for the compatible property. Compatible
-is an list of device descriptions sorted from specific to generic. For
-the mpc5200, the required format for each compatible value is
-<chip>-<device>[-<mode>]. The OS should be able to match a device driver
-to the device based solely on the compatible value. If two drivers
-match on the compatible list; the 'most compatible' driver should be
-selected.
-
-The split between the MPC5200 and the MPC5200B leaves a bit of a
-conundrum. How should the compatible property be set up to provide
-maximum compatibility information; but still accurately describe the
-chip? For the MPC5200; the answer is easy. Most of the SoC devices
-originally appeared on the MPC5200. Since they didn't exist anywhere
-else; the 5200 compatible properties will contain only one item;
-"mpc5200-<device>".
-
-The 5200B is almost the same as the 5200, but not quite. It fixes
-silicon bugs and it adds a small number of enhancements. Most of the
-devices either provide exactly the same interface as on the 5200. A few
-devices have extra functions but still have a backwards compatible mode.
-To express this information as completely as possible, 5200B device trees
-should have two items in the compatible list;
-"mpc5200b-<device>\0mpc5200-<device>". It is *strongly* recommended
-that 5200B device trees follow this convention (instead of only listing
-the base mpc5200 item).
-
-If another chip appear on the market with one of the mpc5200 SoC
-devices, then the compatible list should include mpc5200-<device>.
-
-ie. ethernet on mpc5200: compatible = "mpc5200-ethernet"
- ethernet on mpc5200b: compatible = "mpc5200b-ethernet\0mpc5200-ethernet"
-
-Modal devices, like PSCs, also append the configured function to the
-end of the compatible field. ie. A PSC in i2s mode would specify
-"mpc5200-psc-i2s", not "mpc5200-i2s". This convention is chosen to
-avoid naming conflicts with non-psc devices providing the same
-function. For example, "mpc5200-spi" and "mpc5200-psc-spi" describe
-the mpc5200 simple spi device and a PSC spi mode respectively.
-
-If the soc device is more generic and present on other SOCs, the
-compatible property can specify the more generic device type also.
-
-ie. mscan: compatible = "mpc5200-mscan\0fsl,mscan";
-
-At the time of writing, exact chip may be either 'mpc5200' or
-'mpc5200b'.
-
-Device drivers should always try to match as generically as possible.
-
-III - Structure
-===============
-The device tree for an mpc5200 board follows the structure defined in
-booting-without-of.txt with the following additional notes:
-
-0) the root node
-----------------
-Typical root description node; see booting-without-of
-
-1) The cpus node
-----------------
-The cpus node follows the basic layout described in booting-without-of.
-The bus-frequency property holds the XLB bus frequency
-The clock-frequency property holds the core frequency
-
-2) The memory node
-------------------
-Typical memory description node; see booting-without-of.
-
-3) The soc5200 node
--------------------
-This node describes the on chip SOC peripherals. Every mpc5200 based
-board will have this node, and as such there is a common naming
-convention for SOC devices.
-
-Required properties:
-name type description
----- ---- -----------
-device_type string must be "soc"
-ranges int should be <0 baseaddr baseaddr+10000>
-reg int must be <baseaddr 10000>
-compatible string mpc5200: "mpc5200-soc"
- mpc5200b: "mpc5200b-soc\0mpc5200-soc"
-system-frequency int Fsystem frequency; source of all
- other clocks.
-bus-frequency int IPB bus frequency in HZ. Clock rate
- used by most of the soc devices.
-#interrupt-cells int must be <3>.
-
-Recommended properties:
-name type description
----- ---- -----------
-model string Exact model of the chip;
- ie: model="fsl,mpc5200"
-revision string Silicon revision of chip
- ie: revision="M08A"
-
-The 'model' and 'revision' properties are *strongly* recommended. Having
-them presence acts as a bit of a safety net for working around as yet
-undiscovered bugs on one version of silicon. For example, device drivers
-can use the model and revision properties to decide if a bug fix should
-be turned on.
-
-4) soc5200 child nodes
-----------------------
-Any on chip SOC devices available to Linux must appear as soc5200 child nodes.
-
-Note: The tables below show the value for the mpc5200. A mpc5200b device
-tree should use the "mpc5200b-<device>\0mpc5200-<device> form.
-
-Required soc5200 child nodes:
-name device_type compatible Description
----- ----------- ---------- -----------
-cdm@<addr> cdm mpc5200-cmd Clock Distribution
-pic@<addr> interrupt-controller mpc5200-pic need an interrupt
- controller to boot
-bestcomm@<addr> dma-controller mpc5200-bestcomm 5200 pic also requires
- the bestcomm device
-
-Recommended soc5200 child nodes; populate as needed for your board
-name device_type compatible Description
----- ----------- ---------- -----------

-ethernet@<addr> network mpc5200-fec MPC5200 ethernet device
-ata@<addr> ata mpc5200-ata IDE ATA interface
-i2c@<addr> i2c mpc5200-i2c I2C controller
-usb@<addr> usb-ohci-be mpc5200-ohci,ohci-be USB controller
-xlb@<addr> xlb mpc5200-xlb XLB arbitrator
-
-Important child node properties
-name type description
----- ---- -----------
-cell-index int When multiple devices are present, is the
- index of the device in the hardware (ie. There
- are 6 PSC on the 5200 numbered PSC1 to PSC6)
- PSC1 has 'cell-index = <0>'
- PSC4 has 'cell-index = <3>'
-
-5) General Purpose Timer nodes (child of soc5200 node)
-On the mpc5200 and 5200b, GPT0 has a watchdog timer function. If the board
-design supports the internal wdt, then the device node for GPT0 should
-include the empty property 'fsl,has-wdt'.
-
-6) PSC nodes (child of soc5200 node)
-PSC nodes can define the optional 'port-number' property to force assignment
-order of serial ports. For example, PSC5 might be physically connected to
-the port labeled 'COM1' and PSC1 wired to 'COM1'. In this case, PSC5 would
-have a "port-number = <0>" property, and PSC1 would have "port-number = <1>".
-
-PSC in i2s mode: The mpc5200 and mpc5200b PSCs are not compatible when in
-i2s mode. An 'mpc5200b-psc-i2s' node cannot include 'mpc5200-psc-i2s' in the
-compatible field.
-
-7) GPIO controller nodes
-Each GPIO controller node should have the empty property gpio-controller and
-#gpio-cells set to 2. First cell is the GPIO number which is interpreted
-according to the bit numbers in the GPIO control registers. The second cell
-is for flags which is currently unsused.
-
-8) FEC nodes
-The FEC node can specify one of the following properties to configure
-the MII link:
-"fsl,7-wire-mode" - An empty property that specifies the link uses 7-wire
- mode instead of MII
-"current-speed" - Specifies that the MII should be configured for a fixed
- speed. This property should contain two cells. The
- first cell specifies the speed in Mbps and the second
- should be '0' for half duplex and '1' for full duplex
-"phy-handle" - Contains a phandle to an Ethernet PHY.
-
-IV - Extra Notes
-================
-
-1. Interrupt mapping
---------------------
-The mpc5200 pic driver splits hardware IRQ numbers into two levels. The
-split reflects the layout of the PIC hardware itself, which groups
-interrupts into one of three groups; CRIT, MAIN or PERP. Also, the
-Bestcomm dma engine has it's own set of interrupt sources which are
-cascaded off of peripheral interrupt 0, which the driver interprets as a
-fourth group, SDMA.
-
-The interrupts property for device nodes using the mpc5200 pic consists
-of three cells; <L1 L2 level>
-
- L1 := [CRIT=0, MAIN=1, PERP=2, SDMA=3]
- L2 := interrupt number; directly mapped from the value in the
- "ICTL PerStat, MainStat, CritStat Encoded Register"
- level := [LEVEL_HIGH=0, EDGE_RISING=1, EDGE_FALLING=2, LEVEL_LOW=3]
-
-2. Shared registers
--------------------
-Some SoC devices share registers between them. ie. the i2c devices use
-a single clock control register, and almost all device are affected by
-the port_config register. Devices which need to manipulate shared regs
-should look to the parent SoC node. The soc node is responsible
-for arbitrating all shared register access.

-min_free_kbytes:
+hugepages_treat_as_movable
-This is used to force the Linux VM to keep a minimum number
-of kilobytes free. The VM uses this number to compute a pages_min
-value for each lowmem zone in the system. Each lowmem zone gets
-a number of reserved free pages based proportionally on its size.
+This parameter is only useful when kernelcore= is specified at boot time to
+create ZONE_MOVABLE for pages that may be reclaimed or migrated. Huge pages
+are not movable so are not normally allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE. A non-zero
+value written to hugepages_treat_as_movable allows huge pages to be allocated
+from ZONE_MOVABLE.

-allocations; if you set this to lower than 1024KB, your system will

-Setting this too high will OOM your machine instantly.
+Once enabled, the ZONE_MOVABLE is treated as an area of memory the huge
+pages pool can easily grow or shrink within. Assuming that applications are
+not running that mlock() a lot of memory, it is likely the huge pages pool
+can grow to the size of ZONE_MOVABLE by repeatedly entering the desired value

+laptop_mode is a knob that controls "laptop mode". All the things that are
+controlled by this knob are discussed in Documentation/laptops/laptop-mode.txt.
-zone_reclaim_mode:
+==============================================================
-Zone_reclaim_mode allows someone to set more or less aggressive approaches to
-reclaim memory when a zone runs out of memory. If it is set to zero then no
-zone reclaim occurs. Allocations will be satisfied from other zones / nodes
-in the system.

-1 = Zone reclaim on
-2 = Zone reclaim writes dirty pages out
-4 = Zone reclaim swaps pages
+==============================================================
-zone_reclaim_mode is set during bootup to 1 if it is determined that pages
-from remote zones will cause a measurable performance reduction. The
-page allocator will then reclaim easily reusable pages (those page
-cache pages that are currently not used) before allocating off node pages.
+lowmem_reserve_ratio
+
+For some specialised workloads on highmem machines it is dangerous for
+the kernel to allow process memory to be allocated from the "lowmem"
+zone. This is because that memory could then be pinned via the mlock()
+system call, or by unavailability of swapspace.
+
+And on large highmem machines this lack of reclaimable lowmem memory
+can be fatal.
+
+So the Linux page allocator has a mechanism which prevents allocations
+which _could_ use highmem from using too much lowmem. This means that
+a certain amount of lowmem is defended from the possibility of being
+captured into pinned user memory.
+
+(The same argument applies to the old 16 megabyte ISA DMA region. This
+mechanism will also defend that region from allocations which could use
+highmem or lowmem).
+
+The `lowmem_reserve_ratio' tunable determines how aggressive the kernel is
+in defending these lower zones.
+
+If you have a machine which uses highmem or ISA DMA and your
+applications are using mlock(), or if you are running with no swap then
+you probably should change the lowmem_reserve_ratio setting.
+
+The lowmem_reserve_ratio is an array. You can see them by reading this file.
+-
+% cat /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio
+256 256 32
+-
+Note: # of this elements is one fewer than number of zones. Because the highest
+ zone's value is not necessary for following calculation.
+
+But, these values are not used directly. The kernel calculates # of protection
+pages for each zones from them. These are shown as array of protection pages
+in /proc/zoneinfo like followings. (This is an example of x86-64 box).
+Each zone has an array of protection pages like this.

+ pagesets
+ cpu: 0 pcp: 0
+ :
+-
+These protections are added to score to judge whether this zone should be used
+for page allocation or should be reclaimed.
+
+In this example, if normal pages (index=2) are required to this DMA zone and
+pages_high is used for watermark, the kernel judges this zone should not be
+used because pages_free(1355) is smaller than watermark + protection[2]
+(4 + 2004 = 2008). If this protection value is 0, this zone would be used for
+normal page requirement. If requirement is DMA zone(index=0), protection[0]
+(=0) is used.
+
+zone[i]'s protection[j] is calculated by following expression.
+
+(i < j):
+ zone[i]->protection[j]
+ = (total sums of present_pages from zone[i+1] to zone[j] on the node)
+ / lowmem_reserve_ratio[i];
+(i = j):
+ (should not be protected. = 0;
+(i > j):
+ (not necessary, but looks 0)
+
+The default values of lowmem_reserve_ratio[i] are
+ 256 (if zone[i] means DMA or DMA32 zone)
+ 32 (others).
+As above expression, they are reciprocal number of ratio.
+256 means 1/256. # of protection pages becomes about "0.39%" of total present
+pages of higher zones on the node.
+
+If you would like to protect more pages, smaller values are effective.
+The minimum value is 1 (1/1 -> 100%).
