will fail enabling MSI-X on its hardware device when it calls the function
pci_enable_msix().
-5.3.2 Handling MSI-X allocation
-
-Determining the number of MSI-X vectors allocated to a function is
-dependent on the number of MSI capable devices and MSI-X capable
-devices populated in the system. The policy of allocating MSI-X
-vectors to a function is defined as the following:
-
-#of MSI-X vectors allocated to a function = (x - y)/z where
-
-x = The number of available PCI vector resources by the time
- the device driver calls pci_enable_msix(). The PCI vector
- resources is the sum of the number of unassigned vectors
- (new) and the number of released vectors when any MSI/MSI-X
- device driver switches its hardware device back to a legacy
- mode or is hot-removed. The number of unassigned vectors
- may exclude some vectors reserved, as defined in parameter
- NR_HP_RESERVED_VECTORS, for the case where the system is
- capable of supporting hot-add/hot-remove operations. Users
- may change the value defined in NR_HR_RESERVED_VECTORS to
- meet their specific needs.
-
-y = The number of MSI capable devices populated in the system.
- This policy ensures that each MSI capable device has its
- vector reserved to avoid the case where some MSI-X capable
- drivers may attempt to claim all available vector resources.
-
-z = The number of MSI-X capable devices populated in the system.
- This policy ensures that maximum (x - y) is distributed
- evenly among MSI-X capable devices.
-
-Note that the PCI subsystem scans y and z during a bus enumeration.
-When the PCI subsystem completes configuring MSI/MSI-X capability
-structure of a device as requested by its device driver, y/z is
-decremented accordingly.
-
-5.3.3 Handling MSI-X shortages
-
-For the case where fewer MSI-X vectors are allocated to a function
-than requested, the function pci_enable_msix() will return the
-maximum number of MSI-X vectors available to the caller. A device
-driver may re-send its request with fewer or equal vectors indicated
-in the return. For example, if a device driver requests 5 vectors, but
-the number of available vectors is 3 vectors, a value of 3 will be
-returned as a result of pci_enable_msix() call. A function could be
-designed for its driver to use only 3 MSI-X table entries as
-different combinations as ABC--, A-B-C, A--CB, etc. Note that this
-patch does not support multiple entries with the same vector. Such
-attempt by a device driver to use 5 MSI-X table entries with 3 vectors
-as ABBCC, AABCC, BCCBA, etc will result as a failure by the function
-pci_enable_msix(). Below are the reasons why supporting multiple
-entries with the same vector is an undesirable solution.
-
- - The PCI subsystem cannot determine the entry that
- generated the message to mask/unmask MSI while handling
- software driver ISR. Attempting to walk through all MSI-X
- table entries (2048 max) to mask/unmask any match vector
- is an undesirable solution.
-
- - Walking through all MSI-X table entries (2048 max) to handle
- SMP affinity of any match vector is an undesirable solution.

+
+uvesafb - A Generic Driver for VBE2+ compliant video cards
+==========================================================
+
+1. Requirements
+---------------
+
+uvesafb should work with any video card that has a Video BIOS compliant
+with the VBE 2.0 standard.
+
+Unlike other drivers, uvesafb makes use of a userspace helper called
+v86d. v86d is used to run the x86 Video BIOS code in a simulated and
+controlled environment. This allows uvesafb to function on arches other
+than x86. Check the v86d documentation for a list of currently supported
+arches.
+
+v86d source code can be downloaded from the following website:
+ http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/uvesafb
+
+Please refer to the v86d documentation for detailed configuration and
+installation instructions.
+
+Note that the v86d userspace helper has to be available at all times in
+order for uvesafb to work properly. If you want to use uvesafb during
+early boot, you will have to include v86d into an initramfs image, and
+either compile it into the kernel or use it as an initrd.
+
+2. Caveats and limitations
+--------------------------
+
+uvesafb is a _generic_ driver which supports a wide variety of video
+cards, but which is ultimately limited by the Video BIOS interface.
+The most important limitations are:
+
+- Lack of any type of acceleration.
+- A strict and limited set of supported video modes. Often the native
+ or most optimal resolution/refresh rate for your setup will not work
+ with uvesafb, simply because the Video BIOS doesn't support the
+ video mode you want to use. This can be especially painful with
+ widescreen panels, where native video modes don't have the 4:3 aspect
+ ratio, which is what most BIOS-es are limited to.
+- Adjusting the refresh rate is only possible with a VBE 3.0 compliant
+ Video BIOS. Note that many nVidia Video BIOS-es claim to be VBE 3.0
+ compliant, while they simply ignore any refresh rate settings.
+
+3. Configuration
+----------------
+
+uvesafb can be compiled either as a module, or directly into the kernel.
+In both cases it supports the same set of configuration options, which
+are either given on the kernel command line or as module parameters, e.g.:
+
+ video=uvesafb:1024x768-32,mtrr:3,ywrap (compiled into the kernel)
+
+ # modprobe uvesafb mode=1024x768-32 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap (module)
+
+Accepted options:
+
+ypan Enable display panning using the VESA protected mode
+ interface. The visible screen is just a window of the
+ video memory, console scrolling is done by changing the
+ start of the window. Available on x86 only.
+
+ywrap Same as ypan, but assumes your gfx board can wrap-around
+ the video memory (i.e. starts reading from top if it
+ reaches the end of video memory). Faster than ypan.
+ Available on x86 only.
+
+redraw Scroll by redrawing the affected part of the screen, this
+ is the safe (and slow) default.
+
+(If you're using uvesafb as a module, the above three options are
+ used a parameter of the scroll option, e.g. scroll=ypan.)
+
+vgapal Use the standard VGA registers for palette changes.
+
+pmipal Use the protected mode interface for palette changes.
+ This is the default if the protected mode interface is
+ available. Available on x86 only.
+
+mtrr:n Setup memory type range registers for the framebuffer
+ where n:
+ 0 - disabled (equivalent to nomtrr) (default)
+ 1 - uncachable
+ 2 - write-back
+ 3 - write-combining
+ 4 - write-through
+
+ If you see the following in dmesg, choose the type that matches
+ the old one. In this example, use "mtrr:2".
+...
+mtrr: type mismatch for e0000000,8000000 old: write-back new: write-combining
+...
+
+nomtrr Do not use memory type range registers.
+
+vremap:n
+ Remap 'n' MiB of video RAM. If 0 or not specified, remap memory
+ according to video mode.
+
+vtotal:n
+ If the video BIOS of your card incorrectly determines the total
+ amount of video RAM, use this option to override the BIOS (in MiB).
+
+<mode> The mode you want to set, in the standard modedb format. Refer to
+ modedb.txt for a detailed description. When uvesafb is compiled as
+ a module, the mode string should be provided as a value of the
+ 'mode' option.
+
+vbemode:x
+ Force the use of VBE mode x. The mode will only be set if it's
+ found in the VBE-provided list of supported modes.
+ NOTE: The mode number 'x' should be specified in VESA mode number
+ notation, not the Linux kernel one (eg. 257 instead of 769).
+ HINT: If you use this option because normal <mode> parameter does
+ not work for you and you use a X server, you'll probably want to
+ set the 'nocrtc' option to ensure that the video mode is properly
+ restored after console <-> X switches.
+
+nocrtc Do not use CRTC timings while setting the video mode. This option
+ has any effect only if the Video BIOS is VBE 3.0 compliant. Use it
+ if you have problems with modes set the standard way. Note that
+ using this option implies that any refresh rate adjustments will
+ be ignored and the refresh rate will stay at your BIOS default (60 Hz).
+
+noedid Do not try to fetch and use EDID-provided modes.
+
+noblank Disable hardware blanking.
+
+v86d:path
+ Set path to the v86d executable. This option is only available as
+ a module parameter, and not as a part of the video= string. If you
+ need to use it and have uvesafb built into the kernel, use
+ uvesafb.v86d="path".
+
+Additionally, the following parameters may be provided. They all override the
+EDID-provided values and BIOS defaults. Refer to your monitor's specs to get
+the correct values for maxhf, maxvf and maxclk for your hardware.
+
+maxhf:n Maximum horizontal frequency (in kHz).
+maxvf:n Maximum vertical frequency (in Hz).
+maxclk:n Maximum pixel clock (in MHz).
+
+4. The sysfs interface
+----------------------
+
+uvesafb provides several sysfs nodes for configurable parameters and
+additional information.
+
+Driver attributes:
+
+/sys/bus/platform/drivers/uvesafb
+ - v86d (default: /sbin/v86d)
+ Path to the v86d executable. v86d is started by uvesafb
+ if an instance of the daemon isn't already running.
+
+Device attributes:
+
+/sys/bus/platform/drivers/uvesafb/uvesafb.0
+ - nocrtc
+ Use the default refresh rate (60 Hz) if set to 1.
+
+ - oem_product_name
+ - oem_product_rev
+ - oem_string
+ - oem_vendor
+ Information about the card and its maker.
+
+ - vbe_modes
+ A list of video modes supported by the Video BIOS along with their
+ VBE mode numbers in hex.
+
+ - vbe_version
+ A BCD value indicating the implemented VBE standard.
+
+5. Miscellaneous
+----------------
+
+Uvesafb will set a video mode with the default refresh rate and timings
+from the Video BIOS if you set pixclock to 0 in fb_var_screeninfo.

+0. Why you should avoid mandatory locking
+-----------------------------------------
+
+The Linux implementation is prey to a number of difficult-to-fix race
+conditions which in practice make it not dependable:
+
+ - The write system call checks for a mandatory lock only once
+ at its start. It is therefore possible for a lock request to
+ be granted after this check but before the data is modified.
+ A process may then see file data change even while a mandatory
+ lock was held.
+ - Similarly, an exclusive lock may be granted on a file after
+ the kernel has decided to proceed with a read, but before the
+ read has actually completed, and the reading process may see
+ the file data in a state which should not have been visible
+ to it.
+ - Similar races make the claimed mutual exclusion between lock
+ and mmap similarly unreliable.
1. What is mandatory locking?

+hwmon sysfs attributes always contain numbers, so the first thing to do is to
+convert the input to a number, there are 2 ways todo this depending whether
+the number can be negative or not:
+unsigned long u = simple_strtoul(buf, NULL, 10);
+long s = simple_strtol(buf, NULL, 10);
+
+With buf being the buffer with the user input being passed by the kernel.

+This is done deliberately as checking this everywhere would add a lot of
+code to the kernel.
+
+Notice that it is important to always store the converted value in an
+unsigned long or long, so that no wrap around can happen before any further
+checking.
+
+After the input string is converted to an (unsigned) long, the value should be
+checked if its acceptable. Be careful with further conversions on the value
+before checking it for validity, as these conversions could still cause a wrap
+around before the check. For example do not multiply the result, and only
+add/subtract if it has been divided before the add/subtract.
+
+What to do if a value is found to be invalid, depends on the type of the
+sysfs attribute that is being set. If it is a continuous setting like a
+tempX_max or inX_max attribute, then the value should be clamped to its
+limits using SENSORS_LIMIT(value, min_limit, max_limit). If it is not
+continuous like for example a tempX_type, then when an invalid value is
+written, -EINVAL should be returned.
+
+Example1, temp1_max, register is a signed 8 bit value (-128 - 127 degrees):
+
+ long v = simple_strtol(buf, NULL, 10) / 1000;
+ v = SENSORS_LIMIT(v, -128, 127);
+ /* write v to register */
+
+Example2, fan divider setting, valid values 2, 4 and 8:
+
+ unsigned long v = simple_strtoul(buf, NULL, 10);
+
+ switch (v) {
+ case 2: v = 1; break;
+ case 4: v = 2; break;
+ case 8: v = 3; break;
+ default:
+ return -EINVAL;
+ }
+ /* write v to register */

-
-*** NOTE: It is the responsibility of user-space code to handle the fact
-that the beep enable and alarm bits are in different positions when using that
-feature of the chip.
-
-When an alarm goes off, you can be warned by a beeping signal through your
-computer speaker. It is possible to enable all beeping globally, or only
-the beeping for some alarms.
-
-The driver only reads the chip values each 3 seconds; reading them more
-often will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
+The w83791d has a global bit used to enable beeping from the speaker when an
+alarm is triggered as well as a bitmask to enable or disable the beep for
+specific alarms. You need both the global beep enable bit and the
+corresponding beep bit to be on for a triggered alarm to sound a beep.
+
+The sysfs interface to the gloabal enable is via the sysfs beep_enable file.
+This file is used for both legacy and new code.
+
+The sysfs interface to the beep bitmask has migrated from the original legacy
+method of a single sysfs beep_mask file to a newer method using multiple
+*_beep files as described in .../Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface.
+
+A similar change has occured for the bitmap corresponding to the alarms. The
+original legacy method used a single sysfs alarms file containing a bitmap
+of triggered alarms. The newer method uses multiple sysfs *_alarm files
+(again following the pattern described in sysfs-interface).
+
+Since both methods read and write the underlying hardware, they can be used
+interchangeably and changes in one will automatically be reflected by
+the other. If you use the legacy bitmask method, your user-space code is
+responsible for handling the fact that the alarms and beep_mask bitmaps
+are not the same (see the table below).
+
+NOTE: All new code should be written to use the newer sysfs-interface
+specification as that avoids bitmap problems and is the preferred interface
+going forward.
+
+The driver reads the hardware chip values at most once every three seconds.
+User mode code requesting values more often will receive cached values.

+
+ Fail over MAC is useful for devices that cannot ever alter

+
+ The down side of fail over MAC is that every device on the

+ traffic, not just ARP traffic, if the switch snoops incoming

+
+ When fail over MAC is used in conjuction with the mii monitor,

iterators of the scheduling modules are used. The balancing code got
quite a bit simpler as a result.
+
+Group scheduler extension to CFS
+================================
+
+Normally the scheduler operates on individual tasks and strives to provide
+fair CPU time to each task. Sometimes, it may be desirable to group tasks
+and provide fair CPU time to each such task group. For example, it may
+be desirable to first provide fair CPU time to each user on the system
+and then to each task belonging to a user.
+
+CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED strives to achieve exactly that. It lets
+SCHED_NORMAL/BATCH tasks be be grouped and divides CPU time fairly among such
+groups. At present, there are two (mutually exclusive) mechanisms to group
+tasks for CPU bandwidth control purpose:
+
+ - Based on user id (CONFIG_FAIR_USER_SCHED)
+ In this option, tasks are grouped according to their user id.
+ - Based on "cgroup" pseudo filesystem (CONFIG_FAIR_CGROUP_SCHED)
+ This options lets the administrator create arbitrary groups
+ of tasks, using the "cgroup" pseudo filesystem. See
+ Documentation/cgroups.txt for more information about this
+ filesystem.
+
+Only one of these options to group tasks can be chosen and not both.
+
+Group scheduler tunables:
+
+When CONFIG_FAIR_USER_SCHED is defined, a directory is created in sysfs for
+each new user and a "cpu_share" file is added in that directory.
+
+ # cd /sys/kernel/uids
+ # cat 512/cpu_share # Display user 512's CPU share
+ 1024
+ # echo 2048 > 512/cpu_share # Modify user 512's CPU share
+ # cat 512/cpu_share # Display user 512's CPU share
+ 2048
+ #
+
+CPU bandwidth between two users are divided in the ratio of their CPU shares.
+For ex: if you would like user "root" to get twice the bandwidth of user
+"guest", then set the cpu_share for both the users such that "root"'s
+cpu_share is twice "guest"'s cpu_share
+
+
+When CONFIG_FAIR_CGROUP_SCHED is defined, a "cpu.shares" file is created
+for each group created using the pseudo filesystem. See example steps
+below to create task groups and modify their CPU share using the "cgroups"
+pseudo filesystem
+
+ # mkdir /dev/cpuctl
+ # mount -t cgroup -ocpu none /dev/cpuctl
+ # cd /dev/cpuctl
+
+ # mkdir multimedia # create "multimedia" group of tasks
+ # mkdir browser # create "browser" group of tasks
+
+ # #Configure the multimedia group to receive twice the CPU bandwidth
+ # #that of browser group
+
+ # echo 2048 > multimedia/cpu.shares
+ # echo 1024 > browser/cpu.shares
+
+ # firefox & # Launch firefox and move it to "browser" group
+ # echo <firefox_pid> > browser/tasks

+Driver Compile Time Options and Debugging
+
+The following constants can be defined in the source file.
+
+1. ADVANSYS_ASSERT - Enable driver assertions (Def: Enabled)
+
+ Enabling this option adds assertion logic statements to the
+ driver. If an assertion fails a message will be displayed to
+ the console, but the system will continue to operate. Any
+ assertions encountered should be reported to the person
+ responsible for the driver. Assertion statements may proactively
+ detect problems with the driver and facilitate fixing these
+ problems. Enabling assertions will add a small overhead to the
+ execution of the driver.
+
+2. ADVANSYS_DEBUG - Enable driver debugging (Def: Disabled)
+
+ Enabling this option adds tracing functions to the driver and the
+ ability to set a driver tracing level at boot time. This option is
+ very useful for debugging the driver, but it will add to the size
+ of the driver execution image and add overhead to the execution of
+ the driver.
+
+ The amount of debugging output can be controlled with the global
+ variable 'asc_dbglvl'. The higher the number the more output. By
+ default the debug level is 0.
+
+ If the driver is loaded at boot time and the LILO Driver Option
+ is included in the system, the debug level can be changed by
+ specifying a 5th (ASC_NUM_IOPORT_PROBE + 1) I/O Port. The
+ first three hex digits of the pseudo I/O Port must be set to
+ 'deb' and the fourth hex digit specifies the debug level: 0 - F.
+ The following command line will look for an adapter at 0x330
+ and set the debug level to 2.
+
+ linux advansys=0x330,0,0,0,0xdeb2
+
+ If the driver is built as a loadable module this variable can be
+ defined when the driver is loaded. The following insmod command
+ will set the debug level to one.
+
+ insmod advansys.o asc_dbglvl=1
+
+ Debugging Message Levels:
+ 0: Errors Only
+ 1: High-Level Tracing
+ 2-N: Verbose Tracing
+
+ To enable debug output to console, please make sure that:
+
+ a. System and kernel logging is enabled (syslogd, klogd running).
+ b. Kernel messages are routed to console output. Check
+ /etc/syslog.conf for an entry similar to this:
+
+ kern.* /dev/console
+
+ c. klogd is started with the appropriate -c parameter
+ (e.g. klogd -c 8)
+
+ This will cause printk() messages to be be displayed on the
+ current console. Refer to the klogd(8) and syslogd(8) man pages
+ for details.
+
+ Alternatively you can enable printk() to console with this
+ program. However, this is not the 'official' way to do this.
+ Debug output is logged in /var/log/messages.
+
+ main()
+ {
+ syscall(103, 7, 0, 0);
+ }
+
+ Increasing LOG_BUF_LEN in kernel/printk.c to something like
+ 40960 allows more debug messages to be buffered in the kernel
+ and written to the console or log file.
+
+3. ADVANSYS_STATS - Enable statistics (Def: Enabled)
+
+ Enabling this option adds statistics collection and display
+ through /proc to the driver. The information is useful for
+ monitoring driver and device performance. It will add to the
+ size of the driver execution image and add minor overhead to
+ the execution of the driver.
+
+ Statistics are maintained on a per adapter basis. Driver entry
+ point call counts and transfer size counts are maintained.
+ Statistics are only available for kernels greater than or equal
+ to v1.3.0 with the CONFIG_PROC_FS (/proc) file system configured.
+
+ AdvanSys SCSI adapter files have the following path name format:
+
+ /proc/scsi/advansys/{0,1,2,3,...}
+
+ This information can be displayed with cat. For example:
+
+ cat /proc/scsi/advansys/0
+
+ When ADVANSYS_STATS is not defined the AdvanSys /proc files only
+ contain adapter and device configuration information.
+
+Driver LILO Option
+
+If init/main.c is modified as described in the 'Directions for Adding
+the AdvanSys Driver to Linux' section (B.4.) above, the driver will
+recognize the 'advansys' LILO command line and /etc/lilo.conf option.
+This option can be used to either disable I/O port scanning or to limit
+scanning to 1 - 4 I/O ports. Regardless of the option setting EISA and
+PCI boards will still be searched for and detected. This option only
+affects searching for ISA and VL boards.
+
+Examples:
+ 1. Eliminate I/O port scanning:
+ boot: linux advansys=
+ or
+ boot: linux advansys=0x0
+ 2. Limit I/O port scanning to one I/O port:
+ boot: linux advansys=0x110
+ 3. Limit I/O port scanning to four I/O ports:
+ boot: linux advansys=0x110,0x210,0x230,0x330
+
+For a loadable module the same effect can be achieved by setting
+the 'asc_iopflag' variable and 'asc_ioport' array when loading
+the driver, e.g.
+
+ insmod advansys.o asc_iopflag=1 asc_ioport=0x110,0x330
+
+If ADVANSYS_DEBUG is defined a 5th (ASC_NUM_IOPORT_PROBE + 1)
+I/O Port may be added to specify the driver debug level. Refer to
+the 'Driver Compile Time Options and Debugging' section above for
+more information.

+Notes on Power-Saving Mode
+==========================
+
+AC97 and HD-audio drivers have the automatic power-saving mode.
+This feature is enabled via Kconfig CONFIG_SND_AC97_POWER_SAVE
+and CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE options, respectively.
+
+With the automatic power-saving, the driver turns off the codec power
+appropriately when no operation is required. When no applications use
+the device and/or no analog loopback is set, the power disablement is
+done fully or partially. It'll save a certain power consumption, thus
+good for laptops (even for desktops).
+
+The time-out for automatic power-off can be specified via power_save
+module option of snd-ac97-codec and snd-hda-intel modules. Specify
+the time-out value in seconds. 0 means to disable the automatic
+power-saving. The default value of timeout is given via
+CONFIG_SND_AC97_POWER_SAVE_DEFAULT and
+CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE_DEFAULT Kconfig options. Setting this to 1
+(the minimum value) isn't recommended because many applications try to
+reopen the device frequently. 10 would be a good choice for normal
+operations.
+
+The power_save option is exported as writable. This means you can
+adjust the value via sysfs on the fly. For example, to turn on the
+automatic power-save mode with 10 seconds, write to
+/sys/modules/snd_ac97_codec/parameters/power_save (usually as root):
+
+ # echo 10 > /sys/modules/snd_ac97_codec/parameters/power_save
+
+
+Note that you might hear click noise/pop when changing the power
+state. Also, it often takes certain time to wake up from the
+power-down to the active state. These are often hardly to fix, so
+don't report extra bug reports unless you have a fix patch ;-)
+
+For HD-audio interface, there is another module option,
+power_save_controller. This enables/disables the power-save mode of
+the controller side. Setting this on may reduce a bit more power
+consumption, but might result in longer wake-up time and click noise.
+Try to turn it off when you experience such a thing too often.

+
+Authorizing (or not) your USB devices to connect to the system
+
+(C) 2007 Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com> Intel Corporation
+
+This feature allows you to control if a USB device can be used (or
+not) in a system. This feature will allow you to implement a lock-down
+of USB devices, fully controlled by user space.
+
+As of now, when a USB device is connected it is configured and
+it's interfaces inmediately made available to the users. With this
+modification, only if root authorizes the device to be configured will
+then it be possible to use it.
+
+Usage:
+
+Authorize a device to connect:
+
+$ echo 1 > /sys/usb/devices/DEVICE/authorized
+
+Deauthorize a device:
+
+$ echo 0 > /sys/usb/devices/DEVICE/authorized
+
+Set new devices connected to hostX to be deauthorized by default (ie:
+lock down):
+
+$ echo 0 > /sys/bus/devices/usbX/authorized_default
+
+Remove the lock down:
+
+$ echo 1 > /sys/bus/devices/usbX/authorized_default
+
+By default, Wired USB devices are authorized by default to
+connect. Wireless USB hosts deauthorize by default all new connected
+devices (this is so because we need to do an authentication phase
+before authorizing).
+
+
+Example system lockdown (lame)
+-----------------------
+
+Imagine you want to implement a lockdown so only devices of type XYZ
+can be connected (for example, it is a kiosk machine with a visible
+USB port):
+
+boot up
+rc.local ->
+
+ for host in /sys/bus/devices/usb*
+ do
+ echo 0 > $host/authorized_default
+ done
+
+Hookup an script to udev, for new USB devices
+
+ if device_is_my_type $DEV
+ then
+ echo 1 > $device_path/authorized
+ done
+
+
+Now, device_is_my_type() is where the juice for a lockdown is. Just
+checking if the class, type and protocol match something is the worse
+security verification you can make (or the best, for someone willing
+to break it). If you need something secure, use crypto and Certificate
+Authentication or stuff like that. Something simple for an storage key
+could be:
+
+function device_is_my_type()
+{
+ echo 1 > authorized # temporarily authorize it
+ # FIXME: make sure none can mount it
+ mount DEVICENODE /mntpoint
+ sum=$(md5sum /mntpoint/.signature)
+ if [ $sum = $(cat /etc/lockdown/keysum) ]
+ then
+ echo "We are good, connected"
+ umount /mntpoint
+ # Other stuff so others can use it
+ else
+ echo 0 > authorized
+ fi
+}
+
+
+Of course, this is lame, you'd want to do a real certificate
+verification stuff with PKI, so you don't depend on a shared secret,
+etc, but you get the idea. Anybody with access to a device gadget kit
+can fake descriptors and device info. Don't trust that. You are
+welcome.

+ Power Management for USB
+
+ Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
+
+ October 5, 2007
+
+
+
+ What is Power Management?
+ -------------------------
+
+Power Management (PM) is the practice of saving energy by suspending
+parts of a computer system when they aren't being used. While a
+component is "suspended" it is in a nonfunctional low-power state; it
+might even be turned off completely. A suspended component can be
+"resumed" (returned to a functional full-power state) when the kernel
+needs to use it. (There also are forms of PM in which components are
+placed in a less functional but still usable state instead of being
+suspended; an example would be reducing the CPU's clock rate. This
+document will not discuss those other forms.)
+
+When the parts being suspended include the CPU and most of the rest of
+the system, we speak of it as a "system suspend". When a particular
+device is turned off while the system as a whole remains running, we
+call it a "dynamic suspend" (also known as a "runtime suspend" or
+"selective suspend"). This document concentrates mostly on how
+dynamic PM is implemented in the USB subsystem, although system PM is
+covered to some extent (see Documentation/power/*.txt for more
+information about system PM).
+
+Note: Dynamic PM support for USB is present only if the kernel was
+built with CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND enabled. System PM support is present
+only if the kernel was built with CONFIG_SUSPEND or CONFIG_HIBERNATION
+enabled.
+
+
+ What is Remote Wakeup?
+ ----------------------
+
+When a device has been suspended, it generally doesn't resume until
+the computer tells it to. Likewise, if the entire computer has been
+suspended, it generally doesn't resume until the user tells it to, say
+by pressing a power button or opening the cover.
+
+However some devices have the capability of resuming by themselves, or
+asking the kernel to resume them, or even telling the entire computer
+to resume. This capability goes by several names such as "Wake On
+LAN"; we will refer to it generically as "remote wakeup". When a
+device is enabled for remote wakeup and it is suspended, it may resume
+itself (or send a request to be resumed) in response to some external
+event. Examples include a suspended keyboard resuming when a key is
+pressed, or a suspended USB hub resuming when a device is plugged in.
+
+
+ When is a USB device idle?
+ --------------------------
+
+A device is idle whenever the kernel thinks it's not busy doing
+anything important and thus is a candidate for being suspended. The
+exact definition depends on the device's driver; drivers are allowed
+to declare that a device isn't idle even when there's no actual
+communication taking place. (For example, a hub isn't considered idle
+unless all the devices plugged into that hub are already suspended.)
+In addition, a device isn't considered idle so long as a program keeps
+its usbfs file open, whether or not any I/O is going on.
+
+If a USB device has no driver, its usbfs file isn't open, and it isn't
+being accessed through sysfs, then it definitely is idle.
+
+
+ Forms of dynamic PM
+ -------------------
+
+Dynamic suspends can occur in two ways: manual and automatic.
+"Manual" means that the user has told the kernel to suspend a device,
+whereas "automatic" means that the kernel has decided all by itself to
+suspend a device. Automatic suspend is called "autosuspend" for
+short. In general, a device won't be autosuspended unless it has been
+idle for some minimum period of time, the so-called idle-delay time.
+
+Of course, nothing the kernel does on its own initiative should
+prevent the computer or its devices from working properly. If a
+device has been autosuspended and a program tries to use it, the
+kernel will automatically resume the device (autoresume). For the
+same reason, an autosuspended device will usually have remote wakeup
+enabled, if the device supports remote wakeup.
+
+It is worth mentioning that many USB drivers don't support
+autosuspend. In fact, at the time of this writing (Linux 2.6.23) the
+only drivers which do support it are the hub driver, kaweth, asix,
+usblp, usblcd, and usb-skeleton (which doesn't count). If a
+non-supporting driver is bound to a device, the device won't be
+autosuspended. In effect, the kernel pretends the device is never
+idle.
+
+We can categorize power management events in two broad classes:
+external and internal. External events are those triggered by some
+agent outside the USB stack: system suspend/resume (triggered by
+userspace), manual dynamic suspend/resume (also triggered by
+userspace), and remote wakeup (triggered by the device). Internal
+events are those triggered within the USB stack: autosuspend and
+autoresume.
+
+
+ The user interface for dynamic PM
+ ---------------------------------
+
+The user interface for controlling dynamic PM is located in the power/
+subdirectory of each USB device's sysfs directory, that is, in
+/sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/ where "..." is the device's ID. The
+relevant attribute files are: wakeup, level, and autosuspend.
+
+ power/wakeup
+
+ This file is empty if the device does not support
+ remote wakeup. Otherwise the file contains either the
+ word "enabled" or the word "disabled", and you can
+ write those words to the file. The setting determines
+ whether or not remote wakeup will be enabled when the
+ device is next suspended. (If the setting is changed
+ while the device is suspended, the change won't take
+ effect until the following suspend.)
+
+ power/level
+
+ This file contains one of three words: "on", "auto",
+ or "suspend". You can write those words to the file
+ to change the device's setting.
+
+ "on" means that the device should be resumed and
+ autosuspend is not allowed. (Of course, system
+ suspends are still allowed.)
+
+ "auto" is the normal state in which the kernel is
+ allowed to autosuspend and autoresume the device.
+
+ "suspend" means that the device should remain
+ suspended, and autoresume is not allowed. (But remote
+ wakeup may still be allowed, since it is controlled
+ separately by the power/wakeup attribute.)
+
+ power/autosuspend
+
+ This file contains an integer value, which is the
+ number of seconds the device should remain idle before
+ the kernel will autosuspend it (the idle-delay time).
+ The default is 2. 0 means to autosuspend as soon as
+ the device becomes idle, and -1 means never to
+ autosuspend. You can write a number to the file to
+ change the autosuspend idle-delay time.
+
+Writing "-1" to power/autosuspend and writing "on" to power/level do
+essentially the same thing -- they both prevent the device from being
+autosuspended. Yes, this is a redundancy in the API.
+
+(In 2.6.21 writing "0" to power/autosuspend would prevent the device
+from being autosuspended; the behavior was changed in 2.6.22. The
+power/autosuspend attribute did not exist prior to 2.6.21, and the
+power/level attribute did not exist prior to 2.6.22.)
+
+
+ Changing the default idle-delay time
+ ------------------------------------
+
+The default autosuspend idle-delay time is controlled by a module
+parameter in usbcore. You can specify the value when usbcore is
+loaded. For example, to set it to 5 seconds instead of 2 you would
+do:
+
+ modprobe usbcore autosuspend=5
+
+Equivalently, you could add to /etc/modprobe.conf a line saying:
+
+ options usbcore autosuspend=5
+
+Some distributions load the usbcore module very early during the boot
+process, by means of a program or script running from an initramfs
+image. To alter the parameter value you would have to rebuild that
+image.
+
+If usbcore is compiled into the kernel rather than built as a loadable
+module, you can add
+
+ usbcore.autosuspend=5
+
+to the kernel's boot command line.
+
+Finally, the parameter value can be changed while the system is
+running. If you do:
+
+ echo 5 >/sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend
+
+then each new USB device will have its autosuspend idle-delay
+initialized to 5. (The idle-delay values for already existing devices
+will not be affected.)
+
+Setting the initial default idle-delay to -1 will prevent any
+autosuspend of any USB device. This is a simple alternative to
+disabling CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND and rebuilding the kernel, and it has the
+added benefit of allowing you to enable autosuspend for selected
+devices.
+
+
+ Warnings
+ --------
+
+The USB specification states that all USB devices must support power
+management. Nevertheless, the sad fact is that many devices do not
+support it very well. You can suspend them all right, but when you
+try to resume them they disconnect themselves from the USB bus or
+they stop working entirely. This seems to be especially prevalent
+among printers and scanners, but plenty of other types of device have
+the same deficiency.
+
+For this reason, by default the kernel disables autosuspend (the
+power/level attribute is initialized to "on") for all devices other
+than hubs. Hubs, at least, appear to be reasonably well-behaved in
+this regard.
+
+(In 2.6.21 and 2.6.22 this wasn't the case. Autosuspend was enabled
+by default for almost all USB devices. A number of people experienced
+problems as a result.)
+
+This means that non-hub devices won't be autosuspended unless the user
+or a program explicitly enables it. As of this writing there aren't
+any widespread programs which will do this; we hope that in the near
+future device managers such as HAL will take on this added
+responsibility. In the meantime you can always carry out the
+necessary operations by hand or add them to a udev script. You can
+also change the idle-delay time; 2 seconds is not the best choice for
+every device.
+
+Sometimes it turns out that even when a device does work okay with
+autosuspend there are still problems. For example, there are
+experimental patches adding autosuspend support to the usbhid driver,
+which manages keyboards and mice, among other things. Tests with a
+number of keyboards showed that typing on a suspended keyboard, while
+causing the keyboard to do a remote wakeup all right, would
+nonetheless frequently result in lost keystrokes. Tests with mice
+showed that some of them would issue a remote-wakeup request in
+response to button presses but not to motion, and some in response to
+neither.
+
+The kernel will not prevent you from enabling autosuspend on devices
+that can't handle it. It is even possible in theory to damage a
+device by suspending it at the wrong time -- for example, suspending a
+USB hard disk might cause it to spin down without parking the heads.
+(Highly unlikely, but possible.) Take care.
+
+
+ The driver interface for Power Management
+ -----------------------------------------
+
+The requirements for a USB driver to support external power management
+are pretty modest; the driver need only define
+
+ .suspend
+ .resume
+ .reset_resume
+
+methods in its usb_driver structure, and the reset_resume method is
+optional. The methods' jobs are quite simple:
+
+ The suspend method is called to warn the driver that the
+ device is going to be suspended. If the driver returns a
+ negative error code, the suspend will be aborted. Normally
+ the driver will return 0, in which case it must cancel all
+ outstanding URBs (usb_kill_urb()) and not submit any more.
+
+ The resume method is called to tell the driver that the
+ device has been resumed and the driver can return to normal
+ operation. URBs may once more be submitted.
+
+ The reset_resume method is called to tell the driver that
+ the device has been resumed and it also has been reset.
+ The driver should redo any necessary device initialization,
+ since the device has probably lost most or all of its state
+ (although the interfaces will be in the same altsettings as
+ before the suspend).
+
+The reset_resume method is used by the USB Persist facility (see
+Documentation/usb/persist.txt) and it can also be used under certain
+circumstances when CONFIG_USB_PERSIST is not enabled. Currently, if a
+device is reset during a resume and the driver does not have a
+reset_resume method, the driver won't receive any notification about
+the resume. Later kernels will call the driver's disconnect method;
+2.6.23 doesn't do this.
+
+USB drivers are bound to interfaces, so their suspend and resume
+methods get called when the interfaces are suspended or resumed. In
+principle one might want to suspend some interfaces on a device (i.e.,
+force the drivers for those interface to stop all activity) without
+suspending the other interfaces. The USB core doesn't allow this; all
+interfaces are suspended when the device itself is suspended and all
+interfaces are resumed when the device is resumed. It isn't possible
+to suspend or resume some but not all of a device's interfaces. The
+closest you can come is to unbind the interfaces' drivers.
+
+
+ The driver interface for autosuspend and autoresume
+ ---------------------------------------------------
+
+To support autosuspend and autoresume, a driver should implement all
+three of the methods listed above. In addition, a driver indicates
+that it supports autosuspend by setting the .supports_autosuspend flag
+in its usb_driver structure. It is then responsible for informing the
+USB core whenever one of its interfaces becomes busy or idle. The
+driver does so by calling these three functions:
+
+ int usb_autopm_get_interface(struct usb_interface *intf);
+ void usb_autopm_put_interface(struct usb_interface *intf);
+ int usb_autopm_set_interface(struct usb_interface *intf);
+
+The functions work by maintaining a counter in the usb_interface
+structure. When intf->pm_usage_count is > 0 then the interface is
+deemed to be busy, and the kernel will not autosuspend the interface's
+device. When intf->pm_usage_count is <= 0 then the interface is
+considered to be idle, and the kernel may autosuspend the device.
+
+(There is a similar pm_usage_count field in struct usb_device,
+associated with the device itself rather than any of its interfaces.
+This field is used only by the USB core.)
+
+The driver owns intf->pm_usage_count; it can modify the value however
+and whenever it likes. A nice aspect of the usb_autopm_* routines is
+that the changes they make are protected by the usb_device structure's
+PM mutex (udev->pm_mutex); however drivers may change pm_usage_count
+without holding the mutex.
+
+ usb_autopm_get_interface() increments pm_usage_count and
+ attempts an autoresume if the new value is > 0 and the
+ device is suspended.
+
+ usb_autopm_put_interface() decrements pm_usage_count and
+ attempts an autosuspend if the new value is <= 0 and the
+ device isn't suspended.
+
+ usb_autopm_set_interface() leaves pm_usage_count alone.
+ It attempts an autoresume if the value is > 0 and the device
+ is suspended, and it attempts an autosuspend if the value is
+ <= 0 and the device isn't suspended.
+
+There also are a couple of utility routines drivers can use:
+
+ usb_autopm_enable() sets pm_usage_cnt to 1 and then calls
+ usb_autopm_set_interface(), which will attempt an autoresume.
+
+ usb_autopm_disable() sets pm_usage_cnt to 0 and then calls
+ usb_autopm_set_interface(), which will attempt an autosuspend.
+
+The conventional usage pattern is that a driver calls
+usb_autopm_get_interface() in its open routine and
+usb_autopm_put_interface() in its close or release routine. But
+other patterns are possible.
+
+The autosuspend attempts mentioned above will often fail for one
+reason or another. For example, the power/level attribute might be
+set to "on", or another interface in the same device might not be
+idle. This is perfectly normal. If the reason for failure was that
+the device hasn't been idle for long enough, a delayed workqueue
+routine is automatically set up to carry out the operation when the
+autosuspend idle-delay has expired.
+
+Autoresume attempts also can fail. This will happen if power/level is
+set to "suspend" or if the device doesn't manage to resume properly.
+Unlike autosuspend, there's no delay for an autoresume.
+
+
+ Other parts of the driver interface
+ -----------------------------------
+
+Sometimes a driver needs to make sure that remote wakeup is enabled
+during autosuspend. For example, there's not much point
+autosuspending a keyboard if the user can't cause the keyboard to do a
+remote wakeup by typing on it. If the driver sets
+intf->needs_remote_wakeup to 1, the kernel won't autosuspend the
+device if remote wakeup isn't available or has been disabled through
+the power/wakeup attribute. (If the device is already autosuspended,
+though, setting this flag won't cause the kernel to autoresume it.
+Normally a driver would set this flag in its probe method, at which
+time the device is guaranteed not to be autosuspended.)
+
+The usb_autopm_* routines have to run in a sleepable process context;
+they must not be called from an interrupt handler or while holding a
+spinlock. In fact, the entire autosuspend mechanism is not well geared
+toward interrupt-driven operation. However there is one thing a
+driver can do in an interrupt handler:
+
+ usb_mark_last_busy(struct usb_device *udev);
+
+This sets udev->last_busy to the current time. udev->last_busy is the
+field used for idle-delay calculations; updating it will cause any
+pending autosuspend to be moved back. The usb_autopm_* routines will
+also set the last_busy field to the current time.
+
+Calling urb_mark_last_busy() from within an URB completion handler is
+subject to races: The kernel may have just finished deciding the
+device has been idle for long enough but not yet gotten around to
+calling the driver's suspend method. The driver would have to be
+responsible for synchronizing its suspend method with its URB
+completion handler and causing the autosuspend to fail with -EBUSY if
+an URB had completed too recently.
+
+External suspend calls should never be allowed to fail in this way,
+only autosuspend calls. The driver can tell them apart by checking
+udev->auto_pm; this flag will be set to 1 for internal PM events
+(autosuspend or autoresume) and 0 for external PM events.
+
+Many of the ingredients in the autosuspend framework are oriented
+towards interfaces: The usb_interface structure contains the
+pm_usage_cnt field, and the usb_autopm_* routines take an interface
+pointer as their argument. But somewhat confusingly, a few of the
+pieces (usb_mark_last_busy() and udev->auto_pm) use the usb_device
+structure instead. Drivers need to keep this straight; they can call
+interface_to_usbdev() to find the device structure for a given
+interface.
+
+
+ Locking requirements
+ --------------------
+
+All three suspend/resume methods are always called while holding the
+usb_device's PM mutex. For external events -- but not necessarily for
+autosuspend or autoresume -- the device semaphore (udev->dev.sem) will
+also be held. This implies that external suspend/resume events are
+mutually exclusive with calls to probe, disconnect, pre_reset, and
+post_reset; the USB core guarantees that this is true of internal
+suspend/resume events as well.
+
+If a driver wants to block all suspend/resume calls during some
+critical section, it can simply acquire udev->pm_mutex.
+Alternatively, if the critical section might call some of the
+usb_autopm_* routines, the driver can avoid deadlock by doing:
+
+ down(&udev->dev.sem);
+ rc = usb_autopm_get_interface(intf);
+
+and at the end of the critical section:
+
+ if (!rc)
+ usb_autopm_put_interface(intf);
+ up(&udev->dev.sem);
+
+Holding the device semaphore will block all external PM calls, and the
+usb_autopm_get_interface() will prevent any internal PM calls, even if
+it fails. (Exercise: Why?)
+
+The rules for locking order are:
+
+ Never acquire any device semaphore while holding any PM mutex.
+
+ Never acquire udev->pm_mutex while holding the PM mutex for
+ a device that isn't a descendant of udev.
+
+In other words, PM mutexes should only be acquired going up the device
+tree, and they should be acquired only after locking all the device
+semaphores you need to hold. These rules don't matter to drivers very
+much; they usually affect just the USB core.
+
+Still, drivers do need to be careful. For example, many drivers use a
+private mutex to synchronize their normal I/O activities with their
+disconnect method. Now if the driver supports autosuspend then it
+must call usb_autopm_put_interface() from somewhere -- maybe from its
+close method. It should make the call while holding the private mutex,
+since a driver shouldn't call any of the usb_autopm_* functions for an
+interface from which it has been unbound.
+
+But the usb_autpm_* routines always acquire the device's PM mutex, and
+consequently the locking order has to be: private mutex first, PM
+mutex second. Since the suspend method is always called with the PM
+mutex held, it mustn't try to acquire the private mutex. It has to
+synchronize with the driver's I/O activities in some other way.
+
+
+ Interaction between dynamic PM and system PM
+ --------------------------------------------
+
+Dynamic power management and system power management can interact in
+a couple of ways.
+
+Firstly, a device may already be manually suspended or autosuspended
+when a system suspend occurs. Since system suspends are supposed to
+be as transparent as possible, the device should remain suspended
+following the system resume. The 2.6.23 kernel obeys this principle
+for manually suspended devices but not for autosuspended devices; they
+do get resumed when the system wakes up. (Presumably they will be
+autosuspended again after their idle-delay time expires.) In later
+kernels this behavior will be fixed.
+
+(There is an exception. If a device would undergo a reset-resume
+instead of a normal resume, and the device is enabled for remote
+wakeup, then the reset-resume takes place even if the device was
+already suspended when the system suspend began. The justification is
+that a reset-resume is a kind of remote-wakeup event. Or to put it
+another way, a device which needs a reset won't be able to generate
+normal remote-wakeup signals, so it ought to be resumed immediately.)
+
+Secondly, a dynamic power-management event may occur as a system
+suspend is underway. The window for this is short, since system
+suspends don't take long (a few seconds usually), but it can happen.
+For example, a suspended device may send a remote-wakeup signal while
+the system is suspending. The remote wakeup may succeed, which would
+cause the system suspend to abort. If the remote wakeup doesn't
+succeed, it may still remain active and thus cause the system to
+resume as soon as the system suspend is complete. Or the remote
+wakeup may fail and get lost. Which outcome occurs depends on timing
+and on the hardware and firmware design.
+
+More interestingly, a device might undergo a manual resume or
+autoresume during system suspend. With current kernels this shouldn't
+happen, because manual resumes must be initiated by userspace and
+autoresumes happen in response to I/O requests, but all user processes
+and I/O should be quiescent during a system suspend -- thanks to the
+freezer. However there are plans to do away with the freezer, which
+would mean these things would become possible. If and when this comes
+about, the USB core will carefully arrange matters so that either type
+of resume will block until the entire system has resumed.

Memory policies work within cpusets as described above. For memory policies
that require a node or set of nodes, the nodes are restricted to the set of
-nodes whose memories are allowed by the cpuset constraints. If the
-intersection of the set of nodes specified for the policy and the set of nodes

+nodes whose memories are allowed by the cpuset constraints. If the nodemask
+specified for the policy contains nodes that are not allowed by the cpuset, or
+the intersection of the set of nodes specified for the policy and the set of
+nodes with memory is the empty set, the policy is considered invalid
+and cannot be installed.
The interaction of memory policies and cpusets can be problematic for a
couple of reasons:
-1) the memory policy APIs take physical node id's as arguments. However, the
- memory policy APIs do not provide a way to determine what nodes are valid
- in the context where the application is running. An application MAY consult
- the cpuset file system [directly or via an out of tree, and not generally
- available, libcpuset API] to obtain this information, but then the
- application must be aware that it is running in a cpuset and use what are
- intended primarily as administrative APIs.
-
- However, as long as the policy specifies at least one node that is valid
- in the controlling cpuset, the policy can be used.
+1) the memory policy APIs take physical node id's as arguments. As mentioned
+ above, it is illegal to specify nodes that are not allowed in the cpuset.
+ The application must query the allowed nodes using the get_mempolicy()
+ API with the MPOL_F_MEMS_ALLOWED flag to determine the allowed nodes and
+ restrict itself to those nodes. However, the resources available to a
+ cpuset can be changed by the system administrator, or a workload manager
+ application, at any time. So, a task may still get errors attempting to
+ specify policy nodes, and must query the allowed memories again.
2) when tasks in two cpusets share access to a memory region, such as shared
memory segments created by shmget() of mmap() with the MAP_ANONYMOUS and
MAP_SHARED flags, and any of the tasks install shared policy on the region,
only nodes whose memories are allowed in both cpusets may be used in the
- policies. Again, obtaining this information requires "stepping outside"
- the memory policy APIs, as well as knowing in what cpusets other task might
- be attaching to the shared region, to use the cpuset information.

+ memory policy APIs to use the cpuset information and requires that one
+ know in what cpusets other task might be attaching to the shared region.
Furthermore, if the cpusets' allowed memory sets are disjoint, "local"
allocation is the only valid policy.
