That hardware framebuffer is able to drive the VGA, DVI, or HDMI +monitor with no CPU involvement until a pixel has to change. + +The CPU or other local resource does all the rendering; optinally compares the +result with a local shadow of the remote hardware framebuffer to identify +the minimal set of pixels that have changed; and compresses and sends those +pixels line-by-line via USB bulk transfers. + +Because of the efficiency of bulk transfers and a protocol on top that +does not require any acks - the effect is very low latency that +can support surprisingly high resolutions with good performance for +non-gaming and non-video applications. + +Mode setting, EDID read, etc are other bulk or control transfers. Mode +setting is very flexible - able to set nearly arbitrary modes from any timing. + +Advantages of USB graphics in general: + + * Ability to add a nearly arbitrary number of displays to any USB 2.0 + capable system. On Linux, number of displays is limited by fbdev interface + (FB_MAX is currently 32). Of course, all USB devices on the same + host controller share the same 480Mbs USB 2.0 interface. + +Advantages of supporting DisplayLink chips with kernel framebuffer interface: + + * The actual hardware functionality of DisplayLink chips matches nearly + one-to-one with the fbdev interface, making the driver quite small and + tight relative to the functionality it provides. + * X servers and other applications can use the standard fbdev interface + from user mode to talk to the device, without needing to know anything + about USB or DisplayLink's protocol at all. A "displaylink" X driver + and a slightly modified "fbdev" X driver are among those that already do. + +Disadvantages: + + * Fbdev's mmap interface assumes a real hardware framebuffer is mapped. + In the case of USB graphics, it is just an allocated (virtual) buffer. + Writes need to be detected and encoded into USB bulk transfers by the CPU. + Accurate damage/changed area notifications work around this problem. + In the future, hopefully fbdev will be enhanced with an small standard + interface to allow mmap clients to report damage, for the benefit + of virtual or remote framebuffers. + * Fbdev does not arbitrate client ownership of the framebuffer well. + * Fbcon assumes the first framebuffer it finds should be consumed for console. + * It's not clear what the future of fbdev is, given the rise of KMS/DRM. + +How to use it? +============== + +Udlfb, when loaded as a module, will match against all USB 2.0 generation +DisplayLink chips (Alex and Ollie family). It will then attempt to read the EDID +of the monitor, and set the best common mode between the DisplayLink device +and the monitor's capabilities. + +If the DisplayLink device is successful, it will paint a "green screen" which +means that from a hardware and fbdev software perspective, everything is good. + +At that point, a /dev/fb? interface will be present for user-mode applications +to open and begin writing to the framebuffer of the DisplayLink device using +standard fbdev calls. Note that if mmap() is used, by default the user mode +application must send down damage notifcations to trigger repaints of the +changed regions. Alternatively, udlfb can be recompiled with experimental +defio support enabled, to support a page-fault based detection mechanism +that can work without explicit notifcation. + +The most common client of udlfb is xf86-video-displaylink or a modified +xf86-video-fbdev X server. These servers have no real DisplayLink specific +code. They write to the standard framebuffer interface and rely on udlfb +to do its thing. The one extra feature they have is the ability to report +rectangles from the X DAMAGE protocol extension down to udlfb via udlfb's +damage interface (which will hopefully be standardized for all virtual +framebuffers that need damage info). These damage notifications allow +udlfb to efficiently process the changed pixels. + +Module Options +============== + +Special configuration for udlfb is usually unnecessary. There are a few +options, however. + +From the command line, pass options to modprobe +modprobe udlfb defio=1 console=1 + +Or for permanent option, create file like /etc/modprobe.d/options with text +options udlfb defio=1 console=1 + +Accepted options: + +fb_defio Make use of the fb_defio (CONFIG_FB_DEFERRED_IO) kernel + module to track changed areas of the framebuffer by page faults. + Standard fbdev applications that use mmap but that do not + report damage, may be able to work with this enabled. + Disabled by default because of overhead and other issues. + +console Allow fbcon to attach to udlfb provided framebuffers. This + is disabled by default because fbcon will aggressively consume + the first framebuffer it finds, which isn't usually what the + user wants in the case of USB displays. + +Sysfs Attributes +================ + +Udlfb creates several files in /sys/class/graphics/fb? +Where ? is the sequential framebuffer id of the particular DisplayLink device + +edid If a valid EDID blob is written to this file (typically + by a udev rule), then udlfb will use this EDID as a + backup in case reading the actual EDID of the monitor + attached to the DisplayLink device fails.

Since -2.5.62 kernel, dcache has been using a new locking model that uses RCU -to make dcache look-up lock-free. - -The current dcache locking model is not very different from the -existing dcache locking model. Prior to 2.5.62 kernel, dcache_lock -protected the hash chain, d_child, d_alias, d_lru lists as well as -d_inode and several other things like mount look-up. RCU-based changes -affect only the way the hash chain is protected. For everything else -the dcache_lock must be taken for both traversing as well as -updating. The hash chain updates too take the dcache_lock. The -significant change is the way d_lookup traverses the hash chain, it -doesn't acquire the dcache_lock for this and rely on RCU to ensure -that the dentry has not been *freed*. - - -Dcache locking details -====================== - -For many multi-user workloads, open() and stat() on files are very -frequently occurring operations. Both involve walking of path names to -find the dentry corresponding to the concerned file. In 2.4 kernel, -dcache_lock was held during look-up of each path component. Contention -and cache-line bouncing of this global lock caused significant -scalability problems. With the introduction of RCU in Linux kernel, -this was worked around by making the look-up of path components during -path walking lock-free. - - -Safe lock-free look-up of dcache hash table -=========================================== - -Dcache is a complex data structure with the hash table entries also -linked together in other lists. In 2.4 kernel, dcache_lock protected -all the lists. We applied RCU only on hash chain walking. The rest of -the lists are still protected by dcache_lock. Some of the important -changes are : - -1. The deletion from hash chain is done using hlist_del_rcu() macro - which doesn't initialize next pointer of the deleted dentry and - this allows us to walk safely lock-free while a deletion is - happening. - -2. Insertion of a dentry into the hash table is done using - hlist_add_head_rcu() which take care of ordering the writes - the - writes to the dentry must be visible before the dentry is - inserted. This works in conjunction with hlist_for_each_rcu(), - which has since been replaced by hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(), while - walking the hash chain. The only requirement is that all - initialization to the dentry must be done before - hlist_add_head_rcu() since we don't have dcache_lock protection - while traversing the hash chain. This isn't different from the - existing code. - -3. The dentry looked up without holding dcache_lock by cannot be - returned for walking if it is unhashed. It then may have a NULL - d_inode or other bogosity since RCU doesn't protect the other - fields in the dentry. We therefore use a flag DCACHE_UNHASHED to - indicate unhashed dentries and use this in conjunction with a - per-dentry lock (d_lock). Once looked up without the dcache_lock, - we acquire the per-dentry lock (d_lock) and check if the dentry is - unhashed. If so, the look-up is failed. If not, the reference count - of the dentry is increased and the dentry is returned. - -4. Once a dentry is looked up, it must be ensured during the path walk - for that component it doesn't go away. In pre-2.5.10 code, this was - done holding a reference to the dentry. dcache_rcu does the same. - In some sense, dcache_rcu path walking looks like the pre-2.5.10 - version. - -5. All dentry hash chain updates must take the dcache_lock as well as - the per-dentry lock in that order. dput() does this to ensure that - a dentry that has just been looked up in another CPU doesn't get - deleted before dget() can be done on it. - -6. There are several ways to do reference counting of RCU protected - objects. One such example is in ipv4 route cache where deferred - freeing (using call_rcu()) is done as soon as the reference count - goes to zero. This cannot be done in the case of dentries because - tearing down of dentries require blocking (dentry_iput()) which - isn't supported from RCU callbacks. Instead, tearing down of - dentries happen synchronously in dput(), but actual freeing happens - later when RCU grace period is over. This allows safe lock-free - walking of the hash chains, but a matched dentry may have been - partially torn down. The checking of DCACHE_UNHASHED flag with - d_lock held detects such dentries and prevents them from being - returned from look-up. - - -Maintaining POSIX rename semantics -================================== - -Since look-up of dentries is lock-free, it can race against a -concurrent rename operation. For example, during rename of file A to -B, look-up of either A or B must succeed. So, if look-up of B happens -after A has been removed from the hash chain but not added to the new -hash chain, it may fail. Also, a comparison while the name is being -written concurrently by a rename may result in false positive matches -violating rename semantics. Issues related to race with rename are -handled as described below : - -1. Look-up can be done in two ways - d_lookup() which is safe from - simultaneous renames and __d_lookup() which is not. If - __d_lookup() fails, it must be followed up by a d_lookup() to - correctly determine whether a dentry is in the hash table or - not. d_lookup() protects look-ups using a sequence lock - (rename_lock). - -2. The name associated with a dentry (d_name) may be changed if a - rename is allowed to happen simultaneously. To avoid memcmp() in - __d_lookup() go out of bounds due to a rename and false positive - comparison, the name comparison is done while holding the - per-dentry lock. This prevents concurrent renames during this - operation. - -3. Hash table walking during look-up may move to a different bucket as - the current dentry is moved to a different bucket due to rename. - But we use hlists in dcache hash table and they are - null-terminated. So, even if a dentry moves to a different bucket, - hash chain walk will terminate. [with a list_head list, it may not - since termination is when the list_head in the original bucket is - reached]. Since we redo the d_parent check and compare name while - holding d_lock, lock-free look-up will not race against d_move(). - -4. There can be a theoretical race when a dentry keeps coming back to - original bucket due to double moves. Due to this look-up may - consider that it has never moved and can end up in a infinite loop. - But this is not any worse that theoretical livelocks we already - have in the kernel. - - -Important guidelines for filesystem developers related to dcache_rcu -==================================================================== - -1. Existing dcache interfaces (pre-2.5.62) exported to filesystem - don't change. Only dcache internal implementation changes. However - filesystems *must not* delete from the dentry hash chains directly - using the list macros like allowed earlier. They must use dcache - APIs like d_drop() or __d_drop() depending on the situation. - -2. d_flags is now protected by a per-dentry lock (d_lock). All access - to d_flags must be protected by it. - -3. For a hashed dentry, checking of d_count needs to be protected by - d_lock. - - -Papers and other documentation on dcache locking -================================================ - -1.

Typically, for every open(), stat() etc., the path name +will be resolved. Paths are resolved by walking the namespace tree, starting +with the first component of the pathname (eg. root or cwd) with a known dentry, +then finding the child of that dentry, which is named the next component in the +path string. Then repeating the lookup from the child dentry and finding its +child with the next element, and so on. + +Since it is a frequent operation for workloads like multiuser environments and +web servers, it is important to optimize this code. + +Path walking synchronisation history: +Prior to 2.5.10, dcache_lock was acquired in d_lookup (dcache hash lookup) and +thus in every component during path look-up. Since 2.5.10 onwards, fast-walk +algorithm changed this by holding the dcache_lock at the beginning and walking +as many cached path component dentries as possible. This significantly +decreases the number of acquisition of dcache_lock. However it also increases +the lock hold time significantly and affects performance in large SMP machines. +Since 2.5.62 kernel, dcache has been using a new locking model that uses RCU to +make dcache look-up lock-free. + +All the above algorithms required taking a lock and reference count on the +dentry that was looked up, so that may be used as the basis for walking the +next path element. This is inefficient and unscalable. It is inefficient +because of the locks and atomic operations required for every dentry element +slows things down. It is not scalable because many parallel applications that +are path-walk intensive tend to do path lookups starting from a common dentry +(usually, the root "/" or current working directory). So contention on these +common path elements causes lock and cacheline queueing. + +Since 2.6.38, RCU is used to make a significant part of the entire path walk +(including dcache look-up) completely "store-free" (so, no locks, atomics, or +even stores into cachelines of common dentries). This is known as "rcu-walk" +path walking. + +Path walking overview +===================== + +A name string specifies a start (root directory, cwd, fd-relative) and a +sequence of elements (directory entry names), which together refer to a path in +the namespace. A path is represented as a (dentry, vfsmount) tuple. The name +elements are sub-strings, seperated by '/'. + +Name lookups will want to find a particular path that a name string refers to +(usually the final element, or parent of final element). This is done by taking +the path given by the name's starting point (which we know in advance -- eg. +current->fs->cwd or current->fs->root) as the first parent of the lookup. Then +iteratively for each subsequent name element, look up the child of the current +parent with the given name and if it is not the desired entry, make it the +parent for the next lookup. + +A parent, of course, must be a directory, and we must have appropriate +permissions on the parent inode to be able to walk into it. + +Turning the child into a parent for the next lookup requires more checks and +procedures. Symlinks essentially substitute the symlink name for the target +name in the name string, and require some recursive path walking. Mount points +must be followed into (thus changing the vfsmount that subsequent path elements +refer to), switching from the mount point path to the root of the particular +mounted vfsmount. These behaviours are variously modified depending on the +exact path walking flags. + +Path walking then must, broadly, do several particular things: +- find the start point of the walk; +- perform permissions and validity checks on inodes; +- perform dcache hash name lookups on (parent, name element) tuples; +- traverse mount points; +- traverse symlinks; +- lookup and create missing parts of the path on demand. + +Safe store-free look-up of dcache hash table +============================================ + +Dcache name lookup +------------------ +In order to lookup a dcache (parent, name) tuple, we take a hash on the tuple +and use that to select a bucket in the dcache-hash table. The list of entries +in that bucket is then walked, and we do a full comparison of each entry +against our (parent, name) tuple. + +The hash lists are RCU protected, so list walking is not serialised with +concurrent updates (insertion, deletion from the hash). This is a standard RCU +list application with the exception of renames, which will be covered below. + +Parent and name members of a dentry, as well as its membership in the dcache +hash, and its inode are protected by the per-dentry d_lock spinlock. A +reference is taken on the dentry (while the fields are verified under d_lock), +and this stabilises its d_inode pointer and actual inode. This gives a stable +point to perform the next step of our path walk against. + +These members are also protected by d_seq seqlock, although this offers +read-only protection and no durability of results, so care must be taken when +using d_seq for synchronisation (see seqcount based lookups, below). + +Renames +------- +Back to the rename case. In usual RCU protected lists, the only operations that +will happen to an object is insertion, and then eventually removal from the +list. The object will not be reused until an RCU grace period is complete. +This ensures the RCU list traversal primitives can run over the object without +problems (see RCU documentation for how this works). + +However when a dentry is renamed, its hash value can change, requiring it to be +moved to a new hash list. Allocating and inserting a new alias would be +expensive and also problematic for directory dentries. Latency would be far to +high to wait for a grace period after removing the dentry and before inserting +it in the new hash bucket. So what is done is to insert the dentry into the +new list immediately. + +However, when the dentry's list pointers are updated to point to objects in the +new list before waiting for a grace period, this can result in a concurrent RCU +lookup of the old list veering off into the new (incorrect) list and missing +the remaining dentries on the list. + +There is no fundamental problem with walking down the wrong list, because the +dentry comparisons will never match. However it is fatal to miss a matching +dentry. So a seqlock is used to detect when a rename has occurred, and so the +lookup can be retried. + + 1 2 3 + +---+ +---+ +---+ +hlist-->| N-+->| N-+->| N-+-> +head <--+-P |<-+-P |<-+-P | + +---+ +---+ +---+ + +Rename of dentry 2 may require it deleted from the above list, and inserted +into a new list.

Now when it follows 2's 'next' pointer, it will walk off into +another list without ever having checked object 3. + +A related, but distinctly different, issue is that of rename atomicity versus +lookup operations. If a file is renamed from 'A' to 'B', a lookup must only +find either 'A' or 'B'. So if a lookup of 'A' returns NULL, a subsequent lookup +of 'B' must succeed (note the reverse is not true). + +Between deleting the dentry from the old hash list, and inserting it on the new +hash list, a lookup may find neither 'A' nor 'B' matching the dentry. The same +rename seqlock is also used to cover this race in much the same way, by +retrying a negative lookup result if a rename was in progress. + +Seqcount based lookups +---------------------- +In refcount based dcache lookups, d_lock is used to serialise access to +the dentry, stabilising it while comparing its name and parent and then +taking a reference count (the reference count then gives a stable place to +start the next part of the path walk from). + +As explained above, we would like to do path walking without taking locks or +reference counts on intermediate dentries along the path. To do this, a per +dentry seqlock (d_seq) is used to take a "coherent snapshot" of what the dentry +looks like (its name, parent, and inode). That snapshot is then used to start +the next part of the path walk. When loading the coherent snapshot under d_seq, +care must be taken to load the members up-front, and use those pointers rather +than reloading from the dentry later on (otherwise we'd have interesting things +like d_inode going NULL underneath us, if the name was unlinked). + +Also important is to avoid performing any destructive operations (pretty much: +no non-atomic stores to shared data), and to recheck the seqcount when we are +"done" with the operation. Retry or abort if the seqcount does not match. +Avoiding destructive or changing operations means we can easily unwind from +failure. + +What this means is that a caller, provided they are holding RCU lock to +protect the dentry object from disappearing, can perform a seqcount based +lookup which does not increment the refcount on the dentry or write to +it in any way. This returned dentry can be used for subsequent operations, +provided that d_seq is rechecked after that operation is complete. + +Inodes are also rcu freed, so the seqcount lookup dentry's inode may also be +queried for permissions. + +With this two parts of the puzzle, we can do path lookups without taking +locks or refcounts on dentry elements. + +RCU-walk path walking design +============================ + +Path walking code now has two distinct modes, ref-walk and rcu-walk. ref-walk +is the traditional[*] way of performing dcache lookups using d_lock to +serialise concurrent modifications to the dentry and take a reference count on +it. ref-walk is simple and obvious, and may sleep, take locks, etc while path +walking is operating on each dentry. rcu-walk uses seqcount based dentry +lookups, and can perform lookup of intermediate elements without any stores to +shared data in the dentry or inode. rcu-walk can not be applied to all cases, +eg. if the filesystem must sleep or perform non trivial operations, rcu-walk +must be switched to ref-walk mode. + +[*] RCU is still used for the dentry hash lookup in ref-walk, but not the full + path walk. + +Where ref-walk uses a stable, refcounted ``parent'' to walk the remaining +path string, rcu-walk uses a d_seq protected snapshot. When looking up a +child of this parent snapshot, we open d_seq critical section on the child +before closing d_seq critical section on the parent. This gives an interlocking +ladder of snapshots to walk down. + + + proc 101 + /----------------\ + / comm: "vi" \ + / fs.root: dentry0 \ + \ fs.cwd: dentry2 / + \ / + \----------------/ + +So when vi wants to open("/home/npiggin/test.c", O_RDWR), then it will +start from current->fs->root, which is a pinned dentry. Alternatively, +"./test.c" would start from cwd; both names refer to the same path in +the context of proc101. + + dentry 0 + +---------------------+ rcu-walk begins here, we note d_seq, check the + | name: "/" | inode's permission, and then look up the next + | inode: 10 | path element which is "home"... + | children:"home", ...| + +---------------------+ + | + dentry 1 V + +---------------------+ ... which brings us here. We find dentry1 via + | name: "home" | hash lookup, then note d_seq and compare name + | inode: 678 | string and parent pointer. When we have a match, + | children:"npiggin" | we now recheck the d_seq of dentry0. Then we + +---------------------+ check inode and look up the next element. + | + dentry2 V + +---------------------+ Note: if dentry0 is now modified, lookup is + | name: "npiggin" | not necessarily invalid, so we need only keep a + | inode: 543 | parent for d_seq verification, and grandparents + | children:"a.c", ... | can be forgotten. + +---------------------+ + | + dentry3 V + +---------------------+ At this point we have our destination dentry. + | name: "a.c" | We now take its d_lock, verify d_seq of this + | inode: 14221 | dentry. If that checks out, we can increment + | children:NULL | its refcount because we're holding d_lock. + +---------------------+ + +Taking a refcount on a dentry from rcu-walk mode, by taking its d_lock, +re-checking its d_seq, and then incrementing its refcount is called +"dropping rcu" or dropping from rcu-walk into ref-walk mode. + +It is, in some sense, a bit of a house of cards. If the seqcount check of the +parent snapshot fails, the house comes down, because we had closed the d_seq +section on the grandparent, so we have nothing left to stand on. In that case, +the path walk must be fully restarted (which we do in ref-walk mode, to avoid +live locks). It is costly to have a full restart, but fortunately they are +quite rare. + +When we reach a point where sleeping is required, or a filesystem callout +requires ref-walk, then instead of restarting the walk, we attempt to drop rcu +at the last known good dentry we have. Avoiding a full restart in ref-walk in +these cases is fundamental for performance and scalability because blocking +operations such as creates and unlinks are not uncommon. + +The detailed design for rcu-walk is like this: +* LOOKUP_RCU is set in nd->flags, which distinguishes rcu-walk from ref-walk. +* Take the RCU lock for the entire path walk, starting with the acquiring + of the starting path (eg. root/cwd/fd-path). So now dentry refcounts are + not required for dentry persistence. +* synchronize_rcu is called when unregistering a filesystem, so we can + access d_ops and i_ops during rcu-walk. +* Similarly take the vfsmount lock for the entire path walk. So now mnt + refcounts are not required for persistence. Also we are free to perform mount + lookups, and to assume dentry mount points and mount roots are stable up and + down the path. +* Have a per-dentry seqlock to protect the dentry name, parent, and inode, + so we can load this tuple atomically, and also check whether any of its + members have changed. +* Dentry lookups (based on parent, candidate string tuple) recheck the parent + sequence after the child is found in case anything changed in the parent + during the path walk. +* inode is also RCU protected so we can load d_inode and use the inode for + limited things. +* i_mode, i_uid, i_gid can be tested for exec permissions during path walk. +* i_op can be loaded. +* When the destination dentry is reached, drop rcu there (ie. take d_lock, + verify d_seq, increment refcount). +* If seqlock verification fails anywhere along the path, do a full restart + of the path lookup in ref-walk mode. -ECHILD tends to be used (for want of + a better errno) to signal an rcu-walk failure. + +The cases where rcu-walk cannot continue are: +* NULL dentry (ie. any uncached path element) +* Following links + +It may be possible eventually to make following links rcu-walk aware. + +Uncached path elements will always require dropping to ref-walk mode, at the +very least because i_mutex needs to be grabbed, and objects allocated. + +Final note: +"store-free" path walking is not strictly store free. We take vfsmount lock +and refcounts (both of which can be made per-cpu), and we also store to the +stack (which is essentially CPU-local), and we also have to take locks and +refcount on final dentry. + +The point is that shared data, where practically possible, is not locked +or stored into. The result is massive improvements in performance and +scalability of path resolution. + + +Interesting statistics +====================== + +The following table gives rcu lookup statistics for a few simple workloads +(2s12c24t Westmere, debian non-graphical system). Ungraceful are attempts to +drop rcu that fail due to d_seq failure and requiring the entire path lookup +again. Other cases are successful rcu-drops that are required before the final +element, nodentry for missing dentry, revalidate for filesystem revalidate +routine requiring rcu drop, permission for permission check requiring drop, +and link for symlink traversal requiring drop. + + rcu-lookups restart nodentry link revalidate permission +bootup 47121 0 4624 1010 10283 7852 +dbench 25386793 0 6778659(26.7%) 55 549 1156 +kbuild 2696672 10 64442(2.3%) 108764(4.0%) 1 1590 +git diff 39605 0 28 2 0 106 +vfstest 24185492 4945 708725(2.9%) 1076136(4.4%) 0 2651 + +What this shows is that failed rcu-walk lookups, ie. ones that are restarted +entirely with ref-walk, are quite rare.

By contrast, the GNU General Public +License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free +software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This +General Public License applies to most of the Free Software +Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to +using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by +the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to +your programs, too. + + When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not +price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you +have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for +this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it +if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it +in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. + + To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid +anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. +These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you +distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. + + For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether +gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that +you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the +source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their +rights. + + We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and +(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, +distribute and/or modify the software. + + Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain +that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free +software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we +want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so +that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original +authors' reputations. + + Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software +patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free +program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the +program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any +patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. + + The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and +modification follow. + + GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE + TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION + + 0.

(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in +the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". + +Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not +covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of +running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program +is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the +Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). +Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. + + 1.

You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion +of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and +distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 +above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: + + a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices + stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. + + b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in + whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any + part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third + parties under the terms of this License. + + c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively + when run, you must cause it, when started running for such + interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an + announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a + notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide + a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under + these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this + License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but + does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on + the Program is not required to print an announcement.) + +These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If +identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, +and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in +themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those +sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you +distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based +on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of +this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the +entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. + +Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest +your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to +exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or +collective works based on the Program. + +In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program +with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of +a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under +the scope of this License. + + 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, +under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of +Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: + + a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable + source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections + 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, + + b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three + years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your + cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete + machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be + distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium + customarily used for software interchange; or, + + c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer + to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is + allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you + received the program in object code or executable form with such + an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) + +The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for +making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source +code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any +associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to +control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a +special exception, the source code distributed need not include +anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary +form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the +operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component +itself accompanies the executable. + +If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering +access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent +access to copy the source code from the same place counts as +distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not +compelled to copy the source along with the object code. + + 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program +except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt +otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is +void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. +However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under +this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such +parties remain in full compliance. + + 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not +signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or +distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are +prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by +modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the +Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and +all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying +the Program or works based on it. + + 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the +Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the +original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to +these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further +restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. +You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to +this License. + + 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent +infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), +conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or +otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not +excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot +distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this +License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you +may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent +license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by +all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then +the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to +refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. + +If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under +any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to +apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other +circumstances. + +It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any +patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any +such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the +integrity of the free software distribution system, which is +implemented by public license practices. Many people have made +generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed +through that system in reliance on consistent application of that +system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing +to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot +impose that choice. + +This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to +be a consequence of the rest of this License. + + 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in +certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the +original copyright holder who places the Program under this License +may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding +those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among +countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates +the limitation as if written in the body of this License. + + 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions +of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will +be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to +address new problems or concerns. + +Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program +specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any +later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions +either of that version or of any later version published by the Free +Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of +this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software +Foundation. + + 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free +programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author +to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free +Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes +make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals +of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and +of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. + + NO WARRANTY + + 11.

Unlike the batman daemon, +which exchanges information using UDP packets and sets routing +tables, batman-advanced operates on ISO/OSI Layer 2 only and uses +and routes (or better: bridges) Ethernet Frames. It emulates a +virtual network switch of all nodes participating. Therefore all +nodes appear to be link local, thus all higher operating proto- +cols won't be affected by any changes within the network. You can +run almost any protocol above batman advanced, prominent examples +are: IPv4, IPv6, DHCP, IPX. + +Batman advanced was implemented as a Linux kernel driver to re- +duce the overhead to a minimum. It does not depend on any (other) +network driver, and can be used on wifi as well as ethernet lan, +vpn, etc ... (anything with ethernet-style layer 2). + +CONFIGURATION +------------- + +Load the batman-adv module into your kernel: + +# insmod batman-adv.ko + +The module is now waiting for activation. You must add some in- +terfaces on which batman can operate. After loading the module +batman advanced will scan your systems interfaces to search for +compatible interfaces. Once found, it will create subfolders in +the /sys directories of each supported interface, e.g. + +# ls /sys/class/net/eth0/batman_adv/ +# iface_status mesh_iface + +If an interface does not have the "batman_adv" subfolder it prob- +ably is not supported. Not supported interfaces are: loopback, +non-ethernet and batman's own interfaces. + +Note: After the module was loaded it will continuously watch for +new interfaces to verify the compatibility. There is no need to +reload the module if you plug your USB wifi adapter into your ma- +chine after batman advanced was initially loaded. + +To activate a given interface simply write "bat0" into its +"mesh_iface" file inside the batman_adv subfolder: + +# echo bat0 > /sys/class/net/eth0/batman_adv/mesh_iface + +Repeat this step for all interfaces you wish to add. Now batman +starts using/broadcasting on this/these interface(s). + +By reading the "iface_status" file you can check its status: + +# cat /sys/class/net/eth0/batman_adv/iface_status +# active + +To deactivate an interface you have to write "none" into its +"mesh_iface" file: + +# echo none > /sys/class/net/eth0/batman_adv/mesh_iface + + +All mesh wide settings can be found in batman's own interface +folder: + +# ls /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/ +# aggregated_ogms bonding fragmentation orig_interval +# vis_mode + + +There is a special folder for debugging informations: + +# ls /sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/bat0/ +# originators socket transtable_global transtable_local +# vis_data + + +Some of the files contain all sort of status information regard- +ing the mesh network. For example, you can view the table of +originators (mesh participants) with: + +# cat /sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/bat0/originators + +Other files allow to change batman's behaviour to better fit your +requirements. For instance, you can check the current originator +interval (value in milliseconds which determines how often batman +sends its broadcast packets): + +# cat /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/orig_interval +# 1000 + +and also change its value: + +# echo 3000 > /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/orig_interval + +In very mobile scenarios, you might want to adjust the originator +interval to a lower value. This will make the mesh more respon- +sive to topology changes, but will also increase the overhead. + + +USAGE +----- + +To make use of your newly created mesh, batman advanced provides +a new interface "bat0" which you should use from this point on. +All interfaces added to batman advanced are not relevant any +longer because batman handles them for you. Basically, one "hands +over" the data by using the batman interface and batman will make +sure it reaches its destination. + +The "bat0" interface can be used like any other regular inter- +face. It needs an IP address which can be either statically con- +figured or dynamically (by using DHCP or similar services): + +# NodeA: ifconfig bat0 192.168.0.1 +# NodeB: ifconfig bat0 192.168.0.2 +# NodeB: ping 192.168.0.1 + +Note: In order to avoid problems remove all IP addresses previ- +ously assigned to interfaces now used by batman advanced, e.g. + +# ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 + + +VISUALIZATION +------------- + +If you want topology visualization, at least one mesh node must +be configured as VIS-server: + +# echo "server" > /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/vis_mode + +Each node is either configured as "server" or as "client" (de- +fault: "client"). Clients send their topology data to the server +next to them, and server synchronize with other servers. If there +is no server configured (default) within the mesh, no topology +information will be transmitted. With these "synchronizing +servers", there can be 1 or more vis servers sharing the same (or +at least very similar) data. + +When configured as server, you can get a topology snapshot of +your mesh: + +# cat /sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/bat0/vis_data + +This raw output is intended to be easily parsable and convertable +with other tools. Have a look at the batctl README if you want a +vis output in dot or json format for instance and how those out- +puts could then be visualised in an image. + +The raw format consists of comma separated values per entry where +each entry is giving information about a certain source inter- +face. Each entry can/has to have the following values: +-> "mac" - mac address of an originator's source interface + (each line begins with it) +-> "TQ mac value" - src mac's link quality towards mac address + of a neighbor originator's interface which + is being used for routing +-> "HNA mac" - HNA announced by source mac +-> "PRIMARY" - this is a primary interface +-> "SEC mac" - secondary mac address of source + (requires preceding PRIMARY) + +The TQ value has a range from 4 to 255 with 255 being the best. +The HNA entries are showing which hosts are connected to the mesh +via bat0 or being bridged into the mesh network. The PRIMARY/SEC +values are only applied on primary interfaces + + +LOGGING/DEBUGGING +----------------- + +All error messages, warnings and information messages are sent to +the kernel log. Depending on your operating system distribution +this can be read in one of a number of ways. Try using the com- +mands: dmesg, logread, or looking in the files /var/log/kern.log +or /var/log/syslog. All batman-adv messages are prefixed with +"batman-adv:" So to see just these messages try + +# dmesg | grep batman-adv + +When investigating problems with your mesh network it is some- +times necessary to see more detail debug messages. This must be +enabled when compiling the batman-adv module. When building bat- +man-adv as part of kernel, use "make menuconfig" and enable the +option "B.A.T.M.A.N. debugging". + +Those additional debug messages can be accessed using a special +file in debugfs + +# cat /sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/bat0/log + +The additional debug output is by default disabled.

The driver goes under drives/nfc/ and is compiled as a +module named "pn544". It registers a misc device and creates a device +file named "/dev/pn544". + +Host Interfaces: I2C, SPI and HSU, this driver supports currently only I2C. + +The Interface +------------- + +The driver offers a sysfs interface for a hardware test and an IOCTL +interface for selecting between two operating modes. There are read, +write and poll functions for transferring messages. The two operating +modes are the normal (HCI) mode and the firmware update mode. + +PN544 is controlled by sending messages from the userspace to the +chip. The main function of the driver is just to pass those messages +without caring about the message content. + + +Protocols +--------- + +In the normal (HCI) mode and in the firmware update mode read and +write functions behave a bit differently because the message formats +or the protocols are different. + +In the normal (HCI) mode the protocol used is derived from the ETSI +HCI specification. The firmware is updated using a specific protocol, +which is different from HCI. + +HCI messages consist of an eight bit header and the message body. The +header contains the message length. Maximum size for an HCI message is +33. In HCI mode sent messages are tested for a correct +checksum. Firmware update messages have the length in the second (MSB) +and third (LSB) bytes of the message. The maximum FW message length is +1024 bytes. + +For the ETSI HCI specification see +http://www.etsi.org/WebSite/Technologies/ProtocolSpecification.aspx + +The Hardware Test +----------------- + +The idea of the test is that it can performed by reading from the +corresponding sysfs file. The test is implemented in the board file +and it should test that PN544 can be put into the firmware update +mode. If the test is not implemented the sysfs file does not get +created. + +Example: +> cat /sys/module/pn544/drivers/i2c\:pn544/3-002b/nfc_test +1 + +Normal Operation +---------------- + +PN544 is powered up when the device file is opened, otherwise it's +turned off. Only one instance can use the device at a time. + +Userspace applications control PN544 with HCI messages. The hardware +sends an interrupt when data is available for reading.

The primary compression + algorithm (filter) is LZMA2. Additional filters can be used to improve + compression ratio even further. E.g. Branch/Call/Jump (BCJ) filters + improve compression ratio of executable data. + + The XZ decompressor in Linux is called XZ Embedded. It supports + the LZMA2 filter and optionally also BCJ filters. CRC32 is supported + for integrity checking. The home page of XZ Embedded is at + <http://tukaani.org/xz/embedded.html>, where you can find the + latest version and also information about using the code outside + the Linux kernel. + + For userspace, XZ Utils provide a zlib-like compression library + and a gzip-like command line tool. XZ Utils can be downloaded from + <http://tukaani.org/xz/>. + +XZ related components in the kernel + + The xz_dec module provides XZ decompressor with single-call (buffer + to buffer) and multi-call (stateful) APIs. The usage of the xz_dec + module is documented in include/linux/xz.h. + + The xz_dec_test module is for testing xz_dec. xz_dec_test is not + useful unless you are hacking the XZ decompressor. xz_dec_test + allocates a char device major dynamically to which one can write + .xz files from userspace. The decompressed output is thrown away. + Keep an eye on dmesg to see diagnostics printed by xz_dec_test. + See the xz_dec_test source code for the details. + + For decompressing the kernel image, initramfs, and initrd, there + is a wrapper function in lib/decompress_unxz.c. Its API is the + same as in other decompress_*.c files, which is defined in + include/linux/decompress/generic.h. + + scripts/xz_wrap.sh is a wrapper for the xz command line tool found + from XZ Utils. The wrapper sets compression options to values suitable + for compressing the kernel image. + + For kernel makefiles, two commands are provided for use with + $(call if_needed). The kernel image should be compressed with + $(call if_needed,xzkern) which will use a BCJ filter and a big LZMA2 + dictionary. It will also append a four-byte trailer containing the + uncompressed size of the file, which is needed by the boot code. + Other things should be compressed with $(call if_needed,xzmisc) + which will use no BCJ filter and 1 MiB LZMA2 dictionary. + +Notes on compression options + + Since the XZ Embedded supports only streams with no integrity check or + CRC32, make sure that you don't use some other integrity check type + when encoding files that are supposed to be decoded by the kernel. With + liblzma, you need to use either LZMA_CHECK_NONE or LZMA_CHECK_CRC32 + when encoding. With the xz command line tool, use --check=none or + --check=crc32. + + Using CRC32 is strongly recommended unless there is some other layer + which will verify the integrity of the uncompressed data anyway. + Double checking the integrity would probably be waste of CPU cycles. + Note that the headers will always have a CRC32 which will be validated + by the decoder; you can only change the integrity check type (or + disable it) for the actual uncompressed data. + + In userspace, LZMA2 is typically used with dictionary sizes of several + megabytes. The decoder needs to have the dictionary in RAM, thus big + dictionaries cannot be used for files that are intended to be decoded + by the kernel. 1 MiB is probably the maximum reasonable dictionary + size for in-kernel use (maybe more is OK for initramfs). The presets + in XZ Utils may not be optimal when creating files for the kernel, + so don't hesitate to use custom settings. Example: + + xz --check=crc32 --lzma2=dict=512KiB inputfile + + An exception to above dictionary size limitation is when the decoder + is used in single-call mode. Decompressing the kernel itself is an + example of this situation. In single-call mode, the memory usage + doesn't depend on the dictionary size, and it is perfectly fine to + use a big dictionary: for maximum compression, the dictionary should + be at least as big as the uncompressed data itself. + +Future plans + + Creating a limited XZ encoder may be considered if people think it is + useful. LZMA2 is slower to compress than e.g. Deflate or LZO even at + the fastest settings, so it isn't clear if LZMA2 encoder is wanted + into the kernel. + + Support for limited random-access reading is planned for the + decompression code. I don't know if it could have any use in the + kernel, but I know that it would be useful in some embedded projects + outside the Linux kernel. + +Conformance to the .xz file format specification + + There are a couple of corner cases where things have been simplified + at expense of detecting errors as early as possible. These should not + matter in practice all, since they don't cause security issues. But + it is good to know this if testing the code e.g. with the test files + from XZ Utils. + +Reporting bugs + + Before reporting a bug, please check that it's not fixed already + at upstream. See <http://tukaani.org/xz/embedded.html> to get the + latest code. + + Report bugs to <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> or visit #tukaani on + Freenode and talk to Larhzu. I don't actively read LKML or other + kernel-related mailing lists, so if there's something I should know, + you should email to me personally or use IRC. + + Don't bother Igor Pavlov with questions about the XZ implementation + in the kernel or about XZ Utils. While these two implementations + include essential code that is directly based on Igor Pavlov's code, + these implementations aren't maintained nor supported by him. |
