+Description:
+		Standard I/O elevator operations include attempts to
+		merge contiguous I/Os. For known random I/O loads these
+		attempts will always fail and result in extra cycles
+		being spent in the kernel. This allows one to turn off
+		this behavior on one of two ways: When set to 1, complex
+		merge checks are disabled, but the simple one-shot merges
+		with the previous I/O request are enabled. When set to 2,
+		all merge tries are disabled. The default value is 0 -
+		which enables all types of merge tries.

+What:		/sys/devices/.../power/
+Date:		January 2009
+Contact:	Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
+Description:
+		The /sys/devices/.../power directory contains attributes
+		allowing the user space to check and modify some power
+		management related properties of given device.
+
+What:		/sys/devices/.../power/wakeup
+Date:		January 2009
+Contact:	Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
+Description:
+		The /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup attribute allows the user
+		space to check if the device is enabled to wake up the system
+		from sleep states, such as the memory sleep state (suspend to
+		RAM) and hibernation (suspend to disk), and to enable or disable
+		it to do that as desired.
+
+		Some devices support "wakeup" events, which are hardware signals
+		used to activate the system from a sleep state.  Such devices
+		have one of the following two values for the sysfs power/wakeup
+		file:
+
+		+ "enabled\n" to issue the events;
+		+ "disabled\n" not to do so;
+
+		In that cases the user space can change the setting represented
+		by the contents of this file by writing either "enabled", or
+		"disabled" to it.
+
+		For the devices that are not capable of generating system wakeup
+		events this file contains "\n".  In that cases the user space
+		cannot modify the contents of this file and the device cannot be
+		enabled to wake up the system.
+
+What:		/sys/devices/.../power/control
+Date:		January 2009
+Contact:	Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
+Description:
+		The /sys/devices/.../power/control attribute allows the user
+		space to control the run-time power management of the device.
+
+		All devices have one of the following two values for the
+		power/control file:
+
+		+ "auto\n" to allow the device to be power managed at run time;
+		+ "on\n" to prevent the device from being power managed;
+
+		The default for all devices is "auto", which means that they may
+		be subject to automatic power management, depending on their
+		drivers.  Changing this attribute to "on" prevents the driver
+		from power managing the device at run time.  Doing that while
+		the device is suspended causes it to be woken up.
+
+What:		/sys/devices/.../power/async
+Date:		January 2009
+Contact:	Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
+Description:
+		The /sys/devices/.../async attribute allows the user space to
+		enable or diasble the device's suspend and resume callbacks to
+		be executed asynchronously (ie. in separate threads, in parallel
+		with the main suspend/resume thread) during system-wide power
+		transitions (eg. suspend to RAM, hibernation).
+
+		All devices have one of the following two values for the
+		power/async file:
+
+		+ "enabled\n" to permit the asynchronous suspend/resume;
+		+ "disabled\n" to forbid it;
+
+		The value of this attribute may be changed by writing either
+		"enabled", or "disabled" to it.
+
+		It generally is unsafe to permit the asynchronous suspend/resume
+		of a device unless it is certain that all of the PM dependencies
+		of the device are known to the PM core.  However, for some
+		devices this attribute is set to "enabled" by bus type code or
+		device drivers and in that cases it should be safe to leave the
+		default value.

+Description:

+RCU and lockdep checking
+
+All flavors of RCU have lockdep checking available, so that lockdep is
+aware of when each task enters and leaves any flavor of RCU read-side
+critical section.  Each flavor of RCU is tracked separately (but note
+that this is not the case in 2.6.32 and earlier).  This allows lockdep's
+tracking to include RCU state, which can sometimes help when debugging
+deadlocks and the like.
+
+In addition, RCU provides the following primitives that check lockdep's
+state:
+
+	rcu_read_lock_held() for normal RCU.
+	rcu_read_lock_bh_held() for RCU-bh.
+	rcu_read_lock_sched_held() for RCU-sched.
+	srcu_read_lock_held() for SRCU.
+
+These functions are conservative, and will therefore return 1 if they
+aren't certain (for example, if CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is not set).
+This prevents things like WARN_ON(!rcu_read_lock_held()) from giving false
+positives when lockdep is disabled.
+
+In addition, a separate kernel config parameter CONFIG_PROVE_RCU enables
+checking of rcu_dereference() primitives:
+
+	rcu_dereference(p):
+		Check for RCU read-side critical section.
+	rcu_dereference_bh(p):
+		Check for RCU-bh read-side critical section.
+	rcu_dereference_sched(p):
+		Check for RCU-sched read-side critical section.
+	srcu_dereference(p, sp):
+		Check for SRCU read-side critical section.
+	rcu_dereference_check(p, c):
+		Use explicit check expression "c".
+	rcu_dereference_raw(p)
+		Don't check.  (Use sparingly, if at all.)
+
+The rcu_dereference_check() check expression can be any boolean
+expression, but would normally include one of the rcu_read_lock_held()
+family of functions and a lockdep expression.  However, any boolean
+expression can be used.  For a moderately ornate example, consider
+the following:
+
+	file = rcu_dereference_check(fdt->fd[fd],
+				     rcu_read_lock_held() ||
+				     lockdep_is_held(&files->file_lock) ||
+				     atomic_read(&files->count) == 1);
+
+This expression picks up the pointer "fdt->fd[fd]" in an RCU-safe manner,
+and, if CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is configured, verifies that this expression
+is used in:
+
+1.	An RCU read-side critical section, or
+2.	with files->file_lock held, or
+3.	on an unshared files_struct.
+
+In case (1), the pointer is picked up in an RCU-safe manner for vanilla
+RCU read-side critical sections, in case (2) the ->file_lock prevents
+any change from taking place, and finally, in case (3) the current task
+is the only task accessing the file_struct, again preventing any change
+from taking place.
+
+There are currently only "universal" versions of the rcu_assign_pointer()
+and RCU list-/tree-traversal primitives, which do not (yet) check for
+being in an RCU read-side critical section.  In the future, separate
+versions of these primitives might be created.

+Using RCU's CPU Stall Detector
+
+The CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR kernel config parameter enables
+RCU's CPU stall detector, which detects conditions that unduly delay
+RCU grace periods.  The stall detector's idea of what constitutes
+"unduly delayed" is controlled by a pair of C preprocessor macros:
+
+RCU_SECONDS_TILL_STALL_CHECK
+
+	This macro defines the period of time that RCU will wait from
+	the beginning of a grace period until it issues an RCU CPU
+	stall warning.	It is normally ten seconds.
+
+RCU_SECONDS_TILL_STALL_RECHECK
+
+	This macro defines the period of time that RCU will wait after
+	issuing a stall warning until it issues another stall warning.
+	It is normally set to thirty seconds.
+
+RCU_STALL_RAT_DELAY
+
+	The CPU stall detector tries to make the offending CPU rat on itself,
+	as this often gives better-quality stack traces.  However, if
+	the offending CPU does not detect its own stall in the number
+	of jiffies specified by RCU_STALL_RAT_DELAY, then other CPUs will
+	complain.  This is normally set to two jiffies.
+
+The following problems can result in an RCU CPU stall warning:
+
+o	A CPU looping in an RCU read-side critical section.
+	
+o	A CPU looping with interrupts disabled.
+
+o	A CPU looping with preemption disabled.
+
+o	For !CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels, a CPU looping anywhere in the kernel
+	without invoking schedule().
+
+o	A bug in the RCU implementation.
+
+o	A hardware failure.  This is quite unlikely, but has occurred
+	at least once in a former life.  A CPU failed in a running system,
+	becoming unresponsive, but not causing an immediate crash.
+	This resulted in a series of RCU CPU stall warnings, eventually
+	leading the realization that the CPU had failed.
+
+The RCU, RCU-sched, and RCU-bh implementations have CPU stall warning.
+SRCU does not do so directly, but its calls to synchronize_sched() will
+result in RCU-sched detecting any CPU stalls that might be occurring.
+
+To diagnose the cause of the stall, inspect the stack traces.  The offending
+function will usually be near the top of the stack.  If you have a series
+of stall warnings from a single extended stall, comparing the stack traces
+can often help determine where the stall is occurring, which will usually
+be in the function nearest the top of the stack that stays the same from
+trace to trace.
+
+RCU bugs can often be debugged with the help of CONFIG_RCU_TRACE.

+The final category of APIs is for I/O to deliberately aliased address

+----------------
+
+For PSC in UART mode the needed PSC serial devices
+are specified by fsl,mpc5121-psc-uart nodes in the
+fsl,mpc5121-immr SoC node. Additionally the PSC FIFO
+Controller node fsl,mpc5121-psc-fifo is requered there:
+
+fsl,mpc5121-psc-uart nodes
+--------------------------
+
+Required properties :
+ - compatible : Should contain "fsl,mpc5121-psc-uart" and "fsl,mpc5121-psc"
+ - cell-index : Index of the PSC in hardware
+ - reg : Offset and length of the register set for the PSC device
+ - interrupts : <a b> where a is the interrupt number of the
+   PSC FIFO Controller and b is a field that represents an
+   encoding of the sense and level information for the interrupt.
+ - interrupt-parent : the phandle for the interrupt controller that
+   services interrupts for this device.
+
+Recommended properties :
+ - fsl,rx-fifo-size : the size of the RX fifo slice (a multiple of 4)
+ - fsl,tx-fifo-size : the size of the TX fifo slice (a multiple of 4)

+   encoding of the sense and level information for the interrupt.
+ - interrupt-parent : the phandle for the interrupt controller that

+GDB intends to support the following hardware debug features of BookE
+processors:
+
+4 hardware breakpoints (IAC)
+2 hardware watchpoints (read, write and read-write) (DAC)
+2 value conditions for the hardware watchpoints (DVC)
+
+For that, we need to extend ptrace so that GDB can query and set these
+resources. Since we're extending, we're trying to create an interface
+that's extendable and that covers both BookE and server processors, so
+that GDB doesn't need to special-case each of them. We added the
+following 3 new ptrace requests.
+
+1. PTRACE_PPC_GETHWDEBUGINFO
+
+Query for GDB to discover the hardware debug features. The main info to
+be returned here is the minimum alignment for the hardware watchpoints.
+BookE processors don't have restrictions here, but server processors have
+an 8-byte alignment restriction for hardware watchpoints. We'd like to avoid
+adding special cases to GDB based on what it sees in AUXV.
+
+Since we're at it, we added other useful info that the kernel can return to
+GDB: this query will return the number of hardware breakpoints, hardware
+watchpoints and whether it supports a range of addresses and a condition.
+The query will fill the following structure provided by the requesting process:
+
+struct ppc_debug_info {
+       unit32_t version;
+       unit32_t num_instruction_bps;
+       unit32_t num_data_bps;
+       unit32_t num_condition_regs;
+       unit32_t data_bp_alignment;
+       unit32_t sizeof_condition; /* size of the DVC register */
+       uint64_t features; /* bitmask of the individual flags */
+};
+
+features will have bits indicating whether there is support for:
+
+#define PPC_DEBUG_FEATURE_INSN_BP_RANGE		0x1
+#define PPC_DEBUG_FEATURE_INSN_BP_MASK		0x2
+#define PPC_DEBUG_FEATURE_DATA_BP_RANGE		0x4
+#define PPC_DEBUG_FEATURE_DATA_BP_MASK		0x8
+
+2. PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG
+
+Sets a hardware breakpoint or watchpoint, according to the provided structure:
+
+struct ppc_hw_breakpoint {
+        uint32_t version;
+#define PPC_BREAKPOINT_TRIGGER_EXECUTE  0x1

+
+A request specifies one event, not necessarily just one register to be set.
+For instance, if the request is for a watchpoint with a condition, both the
+DAC and DVC registers will be set in the same request.
+
+With this GDB can ask for all kinds of hardware breakpoints and watchpoints
+that the BookE supports. COMEFROM breakpoints available in server processors
+are not contemplated, but that is out of the scope of this work.
+
+ptrace will return an integer (handle) uniquely identifying the breakpoint or
+watchpoint just created. This integer will be used in the PTRACE_DELHWDEBUG
+request to ask for its removal. Return -ENOSPC if the requested breakpoint
+can't be allocated on the registers.
+
+Some examples of using the structure to:
+
+- set a breakpoint in the first breakpoint register
+
+  p.version         = PPC_DEBUG_CURRENT_VERSION;
+  p.trigger_type    = PPC_BREAKPOINT_TRIGGER_EXECUTE;
+  p.addr_mode       = PPC_BREAKPOINT_MODE_EXACT;
+  p.condition_mode  = PPC_BREAKPOINT_CONDITION_NONE;
+  p.addr            = (uint64_t) address;
+  p.addr2           = 0;
+  p.condition_value = 0;
+
+- set a watchpoint which triggers on reads in the second watchpoint register
+
+  p.version         = PPC_DEBUG_CURRENT_VERSION;
+  p.trigger_type    = PPC_BREAKPOINT_TRIGGER_READ;
+  p.addr_mode       = PPC_BREAKPOINT_MODE_EXACT;
+  p.condition_mode  = PPC_BREAKPOINT_CONDITION_NONE;
+  p.addr            = (uint64_t) address;
+  p.addr2           = 0;
+  p.condition_value = 0;
+
+- set a watchpoint which triggers only with a specific value
+
+  p.version         = PPC_DEBUG_CURRENT_VERSION;
+  p.trigger_type    = PPC_BREAKPOINT_TRIGGER_READ;
+  p.addr_mode       = PPC_BREAKPOINT_MODE_EXACT;
+  p.condition_mode  = PPC_BREAKPOINT_CONDITION_AND | PPC_BREAKPOINT_CONDITION_BE_ALL;
+  p.addr            = (uint64_t) address;
+  p.addr2           = 0;
+  p.condition_value = (uint64_t) condition;
+
+- set a ranged hardware breakpoint
+
+  p.version         = PPC_DEBUG_CURRENT_VERSION;
+  p.trigger_type    = PPC_BREAKPOINT_TRIGGER_EXECUTE;
+  p.addr_mode       = PPC_BREAKPOINT_MODE_RANGE_INCLUSIVE;
+  p.condition_mode  = PPC_BREAKPOINT_CONDITION_NONE;
+  p.addr            = (uint64_t) begin_range;
+  p.addr2           = (uint64_t) end_range;
+  p.condition_value = 0;
+
+3. PTRACE_DELHWDEBUG
+
+Takes an integer which identifies an existing breakpoint or watchpoint
+(i.e., the value returned from PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG), and deletes the
+corresponding breakpoint or watchpoint..

+====================
+
+This is a v4l2/dvb device driver for the tlg2300 chip.
+
+
+current status
+==============
+
+video
+	- support mmap and read().(no overlay)
+
+audio
+	- The driver will register a ALSA card for the audio input.
+
+vbi
+	- Works for almost TV norms.
+
+dvb-t
+	- works for DVB-T
+
+FM
+	- Works for radio.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+TESTED APPLICATIONS:
+
+-VLC1.0.4 test the video and dvb. The GUI is friendly to use.
+
+-Mplayer test the video.
+
+-Mplayer test the FM. The mplayer should be compiled with --enable-radio and
+	 --enable-radio-capture.
+	The command runs as this(The alsa audio registers to card 1):
+	#mplayer radio://103.7/capture/ -radio adevice=hw=1,0:arate=48000 \
+		-rawaudio rate=48000:channels=2
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+KNOWN PROBLEMS:
+about preemphasis:
+	You can set the preemphasis for radio by the following command:
+	#v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio0 --set-ctrl=pre_emphasis_settings=1
+
+	"pre_emphasis_settings=1" means that you select the 50us. If you want
+	to select the 75us, please use "pre_emphasis_settings=2"

 video buffer helper functions
 -----------------------------

-		   videobuf_iolock() to alloc and prepare mmaped memory;
-ops->buf_queue   - advices the driver that another buffer were
-		   requested (by read() or by QBUF);
-ops->buf_release - frees any buffer that were allocated.
-
-In order to use it, the driver need to have a code (generally called at
-interrupt context) that will properly handle the buffer request lists,
-announcing that a new buffer were filled.
-
-The irq handling code should handle the videobuf task lists, in order
-to advice videobuf that a new frame were filled, in order to honor to a

-		return;
-
-	buf = list_entry(dma_q->active.next, struct vbuffer, vb.queue);
-
-	if (!waitqueue_active(&buf->vb.done))
-		return;
-
-	/* Some logic to handle the buf may be needed here */
-
-	list_del(&buf->vb.queue);

-

-      Initializes the videobuf infrastructure. This function should be
-      called before any other videobuf function on USB (and other drivers)
-      that need a vmalloced type of videobuf.
-

+An introduction to the videobuf layer
+Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
+Current as of 2.6.33
+
+The videobuf layer functions as a sort of glue layer between a V4L2 driver
+and user space.  It handles the allocation and management of buffers for
+the storage of video frames.  There is a set of functions which can be used
+to implement many of the standard POSIX I/O system calls, including read(),
+poll(), and, happily, mmap().  Another set of functions can be used to
+implement the bulk of the V4L2 ioctl() calls related to streaming I/O,
+including buffer allocation, queueing and dequeueing, and streaming
+control.  Using videobuf imposes a few design decisions on the driver
+author, but the payback comes in the form of reduced code in the driver and
+a consistent implementation of the V4L2 user-space API.
+
+Buffer types
+
+Not all video devices use the same kind of buffers.  In fact, there are (at
+least) three common variations:
+
+ - Buffers which are scattered in both the physical and (kernel) virtual
+   address spaces.  (Almost) all user-space buffers are like this, but it
+   makes great sense to allocate kernel-space buffers this way as well when
+   it is possible.  Unfortunately, it is not always possible; working with
+   this kind of buffer normally requires hardware which can do
+   scatter/gather DMA operations.
+
+ - Buffers which are physically scattered, but which are virtually
+   contiguous; buffers allocated with vmalloc(), in other words.  These
+   buffers are just as hard to use for DMA operations, but they can be
+   useful in situations where DMA is not available but virtually-contiguous
+   buffers are convenient.
+
+ - Buffers which are physically contiguous.  Allocation of this kind of
+   buffer can be unreliable on fragmented systems, but simpler DMA
+   controllers cannot deal with anything else.
+
+Videobuf can work with all three types of buffers, but the driver author
+must pick one at the outset and design the driver around that decision.
+
+[It's worth noting that there's a fourth kind of buffer: "overlay" buffers
+which are located within the system's video memory.  The overlay
+functionality is considered to be deprecated for most use, but it still
+shows up occasionally in system-on-chip drivers where the performance
+benefits merit the use of this technique.  Overlay buffers can be handled
+as a form of scattered buffer, but there are very few implementations in
+the kernel and a description of this technique is currently beyond the
+scope of this document.]
+
+Data structures, callbacks, and initialization
+
+Depending on which type of buffers are being used, the driver should
+include one of the following files:
+
+    <media/videobuf-dma-sg.h>		/* Physically scattered */
+    <media/videobuf-vmalloc.h>		/* vmalloc() buffers	*/
+    <media/videobuf-dma-contig.h>	/* Physically contiguous */
+
+The driver's data structure describing a V4L2 device should include a
+struct videobuf_queue instance for the management of the buffer queue,
+along with a list_head for the queue of available buffers.  There will also
+need to be an interrupt-safe spinlock which is used to protect (at least)
+the queue.
+
+The next step is to write four simple callbacks to help videobuf deal with
+the management of buffers:
+
+    struct videobuf_queue_ops {
+	int (*buf_setup)(struct videobuf_queue *q,
+			 unsigned int *count, unsigned int *size);
+	int (*buf_prepare)(struct videobuf_queue *q,
+			   struct videobuf_buffer *vb,
+			   enum v4l2_field field);
+	void (*buf_queue)(struct videobuf_queue *q,
+			  struct videobuf_buffer *vb);
+	void (*buf_release)(struct videobuf_queue *q,
+			    struct videobuf_buffer *vb);
+    };
+
+buf_setup() is called early in the I/O process, when streaming is being
+initiated; its purpose is to tell videobuf about the I/O stream.  The count
+parameter will be a suggested number of buffers to use; the driver should
+check it for rationality and adjust it if need be.  As a practical rule, a
+minimum of two buffers are needed for proper streaming, and there is
+usually a maximum (which cannot exceed 32) which makes sense for each
+device.  The size parameter should be set to the expected (maximum) size
+for each frame of data.
+
+Each buffer (in the form of a struct videobuf_buffer pointer) will be
+passed to buf_prepare(), which should set the buffer's size, width, height,
+and field fields properly.  If the buffer's state field is
+VIDEOBUF_NEEDS_INIT, the driver should pass it to:
+
+    int videobuf_iolock(struct videobuf_queue* q, struct videobuf_buffer *vb,
+			struct v4l2_framebuffer *fbuf);
+
+Among other things, this call will usually allocate memory for the buffer.
+Finally, the buf_prepare() function should set the buffer's state to
+VIDEOBUF_PREPARED.
+
+When a buffer is queued for I/O, it is passed to buf_queue(), which should
+put it onto the driver's list of available buffers and set its state to
+VIDEOBUF_QUEUED.  Note that this function is called with the queue spinlock
+held; if it tries to acquire it as well things will come to a screeching
+halt.  Yes, this is the voice of experience.  Note also that videobuf may
+wait on the first buffer in the queue; placing other buffers in front of it
+could again gum up the works.  So use list_add_tail() to enqueue buffers.
+
+Finally, buf_release() is called when a buffer is no longer intended to be
+used.  The driver should ensure that there is no I/O active on the buffer,
+then pass it to the appropriate free routine(s):
+
+    /* Scatter/gather drivers */
+    int videobuf_dma_unmap(struct videobuf_queue *q,
+			   struct videobuf_dmabuf *dma);
+    int videobuf_dma_free(struct videobuf_dmabuf *dma);
+
+    /* vmalloc drivers */
+    void videobuf_vmalloc_free (struct videobuf_buffer *buf);
+
+    /* Contiguous drivers */
+    void videobuf_dma_contig_free(struct videobuf_queue *q,
+				  struct videobuf_buffer *buf);
+
+One way to ensure that a buffer is no longer under I/O is to pass it to:
+
+    int videobuf_waiton(struct videobuf_buffer *vb, int non_blocking, int intr);
+
+Here, vb is the buffer, non_blocking indicates whether non-blocking I/O
+should be used (it should be zero in the buf_release() case), and intr
+controls whether an interruptible wait is used.
+
+File operations
+
+At this point, much of the work is done; much of the rest is slipping
+videobuf calls into the implementation of the other driver callbacks.  The
+first step is in the open() function, which must initialize the
+videobuf queue.  The function to use depends on the type of buffer used:
+
+    void videobuf_queue_sg_init(struct videobuf_queue *q,
+				struct videobuf_queue_ops *ops,
+				struct device *dev,
+				spinlock_t *irqlock,
+				enum v4l2_buf_type type,
+				enum v4l2_field field,
+				unsigned int msize,
+				void *priv);
+
+    void videobuf_queue_vmalloc_init(struct videobuf_queue *q,
+				struct videobuf_queue_ops *ops,
+				struct device *dev,
+				spinlock_t *irqlock,
+				enum v4l2_buf_type type,
+				enum v4l2_field field,
+				unsigned int msize,
+				void *priv);
+
+    void videobuf_queue_dma_contig_init(struct videobuf_queue *q,
+				       struct videobuf_queue_ops *ops,
+				       struct device *dev,
+				       spinlock_t *irqlock,
+				       enum v4l2_buf_type type,
+				       enum v4l2_field field,
+				       unsigned int msize,
+				       void *priv);
+
+In each case, the parameters are the same: q is the queue structure for the
+device, ops is the set of callbacks as described above, dev is the device
+structure for this video device, irqlock is an interrupt-safe spinlock to
+protect access to the data structures, type is the buffer type used by the
+device (cameras will use V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE, for example), field
+describes which field is being captured (often V4L2_FIELD_NONE for
+progressive devices), msize is the size of any containing structure used
+around struct videobuf_buffer, and priv is a private data pointer which
+shows up in the priv_data field of struct videobuf_queue.  Note that these
+are void functions which, evidently, are immune to failure.
+
+V4L2 capture drivers can be written to support either of two APIs: the
+read() system call and the rather more complicated streaming mechanism.  As
+a general rule, it is necessary to support both to ensure that all
+applications have a chance of working with the device.  Videobuf makes it
+easy to do that with the same code.  To implement read(), the driver need
+only make a call to one of:
+
+    ssize_t videobuf_read_one(struct videobuf_queue *q,
+			      char __user *data, size_t count,
+			      loff_t *ppos, int nonblocking);
+
+    ssize_t videobuf_read_stream(struct videobuf_queue *q,
+				 char __user *data, size_t count,
+				 loff_t *ppos, int vbihack, int nonblocking);
+
+Either one of these functions will read frame data into data, returning the
+amount actually read; the difference is that videobuf_read_one() will only
+read a single frame, while videobuf_read_stream() will read multiple frames
+if they are needed to satisfy the count requested by the application.  A
+typical driver read() implementation will start the capture engine, call
+one of the above functions, then stop the engine before returning (though a
+smarter implementation might leave the engine running for a little while in
+anticipation of another read() call happening in the near future).
+
+The poll() function can usually be implemented with a direct call to:
+
+    unsigned int videobuf_poll_stream(struct file *file,
+				      struct videobuf_queue *q,
+				      poll_table *wait);
+
+Note that the actual wait queue eventually used will be the one associated
+with the first available buffer.
+
+When streaming I/O is done to kernel-space buffers, the driver must support
+the mmap() system call to enable user space to access the data.  In many
+V4L2 drivers, the often-complex mmap() implementation simplifies to a
+single call to:
+
+    int videobuf_mmap_mapper(struct videobuf_queue *q,
+			     struct vm_area_struct *vma);
+
+Everything else is handled by the videobuf code.
+
+The release() function requires two separate videobuf calls:
+
+    void videobuf_stop(struct videobuf_queue *q);
+    int videobuf_mmap_free(struct videobuf_queue *q);
+
+The call to videobuf_stop() terminates any I/O in progress - though it is
+still up to the driver to stop the capture engine.  The call to
+videobuf_mmap_free() will ensure that all buffers have been unmapped; if
+so, they will all be passed to the buf_release() callback.  If buffers
+remain mapped, videobuf_mmap_free() returns an error code instead.  The
+purpose is clearly to cause the closing of the file descriptor to fail if
+buffers are still mapped, but every driver in the 2.6.32 kernel cheerfully
+ignores its return value.
+
+ioctl() operations
+
+The V4L2 API includes a very long list of driver callbacks to respond to
+the many ioctl() commands made available to user space.  A number of these
+- those associated with streaming I/O - turn almost directly into videobuf
+calls.  The relevant helper functions are:
+
+    int videobuf_reqbufs(struct videobuf_queue *q,
+			 struct v4l2_requestbuffers *req);
+    int videobuf_querybuf(struct videobuf_queue *q, struct v4l2_buffer *b);
+    int videobuf_qbuf(struct videobuf_queue *q, struct v4l2_buffer *b);
+    int videobuf_dqbuf(struct videobuf_queue *q, struct v4l2_buffer *b,
+		       int nonblocking);
+    int videobuf_streamon(struct videobuf_queue *q);
+    int videobuf_streamoff(struct videobuf_queue *q);
+    int videobuf_cgmbuf(struct videobuf_queue *q, struct video_mbuf *mbuf,
+			int count);
+
+So, for example, a VIDIOC_REQBUFS call turns into a call to the driver's
+vidioc_reqbufs() callback which, in turn, usually only needs to locate the
+proper struct videobuf_queue pointer and pass it to videobuf_reqbufs().
+These support functions can replace a great deal of buffer management
+boilerplate in a lot of V4L2 drivers.
+
+The vidioc_streamon() and vidioc_streamoff() functions will be a bit more
+complex, of course, since they will also need to deal with starting and
+stopping the capture engine.  videobuf_cgmbuf(), called from the driver's
+vidiocgmbuf() function, only exists if the V4L1 compatibility module has
+been selected with CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT, so its use must be surrounded
+with #ifdef directives.
+
+Buffer allocation
+
+Thus far, we have talked about buffers, but have not looked at how they are
+allocated.  The scatter/gather case is the most complex on this front.  For
+allocation, the driver can leave buffer allocation entirely up to the
+videobuf layer; in this case, buffers will be allocated as anonymous
+user-space pages and will be very scattered indeed.  If the application is
+using user-space buffers, no allocation is needed; the videobuf layer will
+take care of calling get_user_pages() and filling in the scatterlist array.
+
+If the driver needs to do its own memory allocation, it should be done in
+the vidioc_reqbufs() function, *after* calling videobuf_reqbufs().  The
+first step is a call to:
+
+    struct videobuf_dmabuf *videobuf_to_dma(struct videobuf_buffer *buf);
+
+The returned videobuf_dmabuf structure (defined in
+<media/videobuf-dma-sg.h>) includes a couple of relevant fields:
+
+    struct scatterlist  *sglist;
+    int                 sglen;
+
+The driver must allocate an appropriately-sized scatterlist array and
+populate it with pointers to the pieces of the allocated buffer; sglen
+should be set to the length of the array.
+
+Drivers using the vmalloc() method need not (and cannot) concern themselves
+with buffer allocation at all; videobuf will handle those details.  The
+same is normally true of contiguous-DMA drivers as well; videobuf will
+allocate the buffers (with dma_alloc_coherent()) when it sees fit.  That
+means that these drivers may be trying to do high-order allocations at any
+time, an operation which is not always guaranteed to work.  Some drivers
+play tricks by allocating DMA space at system boot time; videobuf does not
+currently play well with those drivers.
+
+As of 2.6.31, contiguous-DMA drivers can work with a user-supplied buffer,
+as long as that buffer is physically contiguous.  Normal user-space
+allocations will not meet that criterion, but buffers obtained from other
+kernel drivers, or those contained within huge pages, will work with these
+drivers.
+
+Filling the buffers
+
+The final part of a videobuf implementation has no direct callback - it's
+the portion of the code which actually puts frame data into the buffers,
+usually in response to interrupts from the device.  For all types of
+drivers, this process works approximately as follows:
+
+ - Obtain the next available buffer and make sure that somebody is actually
+   waiting for it.
+
+ - Get a pointer to the memory and put video data there.
+
+ - Mark the buffer as done and wake up the process waiting for it.
+
+Step (1) above is done by looking at the driver-managed list_head structure
+- the one which is filled in the buf_queue() callback.  Because starting
+the engine and enqueueing buffers are done in separate steps, it's possible
+for the engine to be running without any buffers available - in the
+vmalloc() case especially.  So the driver should be prepared for the list
+to be empty.  It is equally possible that nobody is yet interested in the
+buffer; the driver should not remove it from the list or fill it until a
+process is waiting on it.  That test can be done by examining the buffer's
+done field (a wait_queue_head_t structure) with waitqueue_active().
+
+A buffer's state should be set to VIDEOBUF_ACTIVE before being mapped for
+DMA; that ensures that the videobuf layer will not try to do anything with
+it while the device is transferring data.
+
+For scatter/gather drivers, the needed memory pointers will be found in the
+scatterlist structure described above.  Drivers using the vmalloc() method
+can get a memory pointer with:
+
+    void *videobuf_to_vmalloc(struct videobuf_buffer *buf);
+
+For contiguous DMA drivers, the function to use is:
+
+    dma_addr_t videobuf_to_dma_contig(struct videobuf_buffer *buf);
+
+The contiguous DMA API goes out of its way to hide the kernel-space address
+of the DMA buffer from drivers.
+
+The final step is to set the size field of the relevant videobuf_buffer
+structure to the actual size of the captured image, set state to
+VIDEOBUF_DONE, then call wake_up() on the done queue.  At this point, the
+buffer is owned by the videobuf layer and the driver should not touch it
+again.
+
+Developers who are interested in more information can go into the relevant
+header files; there are a few low-level functions declared there which have
+not been talked about here.  Also worthwhile is the vivi driver
+(drivers/media/video/vivi.c), which is maintained as an example of how V4L2
+drivers should be written.  Vivi only uses the vmalloc() API, but it's good
+enough to get started with.  Note also that all of these calls are exported
+GPL-only, so they will not be available to non-GPL kernel modules.
