Client programs construct command + buffers containing references to previously allocated memory objects + and submit them to GEM. At that point, GEM will take care to bind + all the objects into the GTT, execute the buffer, and provide + necessary synchronization between clients accessing the same buffers. + This often involves evicting some objects from the GTT and re-binding + others (a fairly expensive operation), and providing relocation + support which hides fixed GTT offsets from clients. Clients must + take care not to submit command buffers that reference more objects + than can fit in the GTT or GEM will reject them and no rendering + will occur. Similarly, if several objects in the buffer require + fence registers to be allocated for correct rendering (e.g. 2D blits + on pre-965 chips), care must be taken not to require more fence + registers than are available to the client.

You need to +first of all create a journal_t data structure. There are +two calls to do this dependent on how you decide to allocate the physical +media on which the journal resides. The journal_init_inode() call +is for journals stored in filesystem inodes, or the journal_init_dev() +call can be use for journal stored on a raw device (in a continuous range +of blocks). A journal_t is a typedef for a struct pointer, so when +you are finally finished make sure you call journal_destroy() on it +to free up any used kernel memory. +</para> + +<para> +Once you have got your journal_t object you need to 'mount' or load the journal +file, unless of course you haven't initialised it yet - in which case you +need to call journal_create(). +</para> + +<para> +Most of the time however your journal file will already have been created, but +before you load it you must call journal_wipe() to empty the journal file. +Hang on, you say , what if the filesystem wasn't cleanly umount()'d . Well, it is the +job of the client file system to detect this and skip the call to journal_wipe(). +</para> + +<para> +In either case the next call should be to journal_load() which prepares the +journal file for use. Note that journal_wipe(..,0) calls journal_skip_recovery() +for you if it detects any outstanding transactions in the journal and similarly +journal_load() will call journal_recover() if necessary. +I would advise reading fs/ext3/super.c for examples on this stage. +[RGG: Why is the journal_wipe() call necessary - doesn't this needlessly +complicate the API. Or isn't a good idea for the journal layer to hide +dirty mounts from the client fs] +</para> + +<para> +Now you can go ahead and start modifying the underlying +filesystem. Almost. +</para> + +<para> + +You still need to actually journal your filesystem changes, this +is done by wrapping them into transactions. Additionally you +also need to wrap the modification of each of the buffers +with calls to the journal layer, so it knows what the modifications +you are actually making are. To do this use journal_start() which +returns a transaction handle. +</para> + +<para> +journal_start() +and its counterpart journal_stop(), which indicates the end of a transaction +are nestable calls, so you can reenter a transaction if necessary, +but remember you must call journal_stop() the same number of times as +journal_start() before the transaction is completed (or more accurately +leaves the update phase). Ext3/VFS makes use of this feature to simplify +quota support. +</para> + +<para> +Inside each transaction you need to wrap the modifications to the +individual buffers (blocks). Before you start to modify a buffer you +need to call journal_get_{create,write,undo}_access() as appropriate, +this allows the journalling layer to copy the unmodified data if it +needs to. After all the buffer may be part of a previously uncommitted +transaction. +At this point you are at last ready to modify a buffer, and once +you are have done so you need to call journal_dirty_{meta,}data(). +Or if you've asked for access to a buffer you now know is now longer +required to be pushed back on the device you can call journal_forget() +in much the same way as you might have used bforget() in the past. +</para> + +<para> +A journal_flush() may be called at any time to commit and checkpoint +all your transactions. +</para> + +<para> +Then at umount time , in your put_super() (2.4) or write_super() (2.5) +you can then call journal_destroy() to clean up your in-core journal object. +</para> + +<para> +Unfortunately there a couple of ways the journal layer can cause a deadlock. +The first thing to note is that each task can only have +a single outstanding transaction at any one time, remember nothing +commits until the outermost journal_stop(). This means +you must complete the transaction at the end of each file/inode/address +etc. operation you perform, so that the journalling system isn't re-entered +on another journal. Since transactions can't be nested/batched +across differing journals, and another filesystem other than +yours (say ext3) may be modified in a later syscall. +</para> + +<para> +The second case to bear in mind is that journal_start() can +block if there isn't enough space in the journal for your transaction +(based on the passed nblocks param) - when it blocks it merely(!) needs to +wait for transactions to complete and be committed from other tasks, +so essentially we are waiting for journal_stop(). So to avoid +deadlocks you must treat journal_start/stop() as if they +were semaphores and include them in your semaphore ordering rules to prevent +deadlocks. Note that journal_extend() has similar blocking behaviour to +journal_start() so you can deadlock here just as easily as on journal_start(). +</para> + +<para> +Try to reserve the right number of blocks the first time. ;-). This will +be the maximum number of blocks you are going to touch in this transaction. +I advise having a look at at least ext3_jbd.h to see the basis on which +ext3 uses to make these decisions. +</para> + +<para> +Another wriggle to watch out for is your on-disk block allocation strategy. +why? Because, if you undo a delete, you need to ensure you haven't reused any +of the freed blocks in a later transaction. One simple way of doing this +is make sure any blocks you allocate only have checkpointed transactions +listed against them. Ext3 does this in ext3_test_allocatable(). +</para> + +<para> +Lock is also providing through journal_{un,}lock_updates(), +ext3 uses this when it wants a window with a clean and stable fs for a moment. +eg. +</para> + +<programlisting> + + journal_lock_updates() //stop new stuff happening.. + journal_flush() // checkpoint everything. + ..do stuff on stable fs + journal_unlock_updates() // carry on with filesystem use. +</programlisting> + +<para> +The opportunities for abuse and DOS attacks with this should be obvious, +if you allow unprivileged userspace to trigger codepaths containing these +calls. +</para> + +<para> +A new feature of jbd since 2.5.25 is commit callbacks with the new +journal_callback_set() function you can now ask the journalling layer +to call you back when the transaction is finally committed to disk, so that +you can do some of your own management. The key to this is the journal_callback +struct, this maintains the internal callback information but you can +extend it like this:- +</para> +<programlisting> + struct myfs_callback_s { + //Data structure element required by jbd.. + struct journal_callback for_jbd; + // Stuff for myfs allocated together. + myfs_inode* i_commited; + + } +</programlisting> + +<para> +this would be useful if you needed to know when data was committed to a +particular inode. +</para> + + </sect2> + + <sect2 id="jbd_summary"> + <title>Summary</title> +<para> +Using the journal is a matter of wrapping the different context changes, +being each mount, each modification (transaction) and each changed buffer +to tell the journalling layer about them. +</para> + +<para> +Here is a some pseudo code to give you an idea of how it works, as +an example. +</para> + +<programlisting> + journal_t* my_jnrl = journal_create(); + journal_init_{dev,inode}(jnrl,...) + if (clean) journal_wipe(); + journal_load(); + + foreach(transaction) { /*transactions must be + completed before + a syscall returns to + userspace*/ + + handle_t * xct=journal_start(my_jnrl); + foreach(bh) { + journal_get_{create,write,undo}_access(xact,bh); + if ( myfs_modify(bh) ) { /* returns true + if makes changes */ + journal_dirty_{meta,}data(xact,bh); + } else { + journal_forget(bh); + } + } + journal_stop(xct); + } + journal_destroy(my_jrnl); +</programlisting> + </sect2> + + </sect1> + + <sect1 id="data_types"> + <title>Data Types</title> + <para> + The journalling layer uses typedefs to 'hide' the concrete definitions + of the structures used.

+ +<note><title>Incomplete Data Type Descriptions</title> + +<para>This documentation was prepared using the standard Linux +kernel <filename>docproc</filename> tool, which turns text +and in-code

autoconfiguration. +You'll have to read the header file, and use example source +code (such as that for "Gadget Zero"), to fully understand the API. +</para> + +<para>The part of the API implementing some basic +driver capabilities is specific to the version of the +Linux kernel that's in use. +The 2.6 kernel includes a <emphasis>driver model</emphasis> +framework that has no analogue on earlier kernels; +so those parts of the gadget API are not fully portable. +(They are implemented on 2.4 kernels, but in a different way.) +The driver model state is another part of this API that is +ignored by the kerneldoc tools. +</para> +</note> + +<para>The core API does not expose +every possible hardware feature, only the most widely available ones. +There are significant hardware features, such as device-to-device DMA +(without temporary storage in a memory buffer) +that would be added using hardware-specific APIs. +</para> + +<para>This API allows drivers to use conditional compilation to handle +endpoint capabilities of different hardware, but doesn't require that. +Hardware tends to have arbitrary restrictions, relating to +transfer types, addressing, packet sizes, buffering, and availability. +As a rule, such differences only matter for "endpoint zero" logic +that handles device configuration and management. +The API supports limited run-time +detection of capabilities, through naming conventions for endpoints. +Many drivers will be able to at least partially autoconfigure +themselves. +In particular, driver init sections will often have endpoint +autoconfiguration logic that scans the hardware's list of endpoints +to find ones matching the driver requirements +(relying on those conventions), to eliminate some of the most +common reasons for conditional compilation. +</para> + +<para>Like the Linux-USB host side API, this API exposes +the "chunky" nature of USB messages: I/O requests are in terms +of one or more "packets", and packet boundaries are visible to drivers. +Compared to RS-232 serial protocols, USB resembles +synchronous protocols like HDLC +(N bytes per frame, multipoint addressing, host as the primary +station and devices as secondary stations) +more than asynchronous ones +(tty style: 8 data bits per frame, no parity, one stop bit). +So for example the controller drivers won't buffer +two single byte writes into a single two-byte USB IN packet, +although gadget drivers may do so when they implement +protocols where packet boundaries (and "short packets") +are not significant. +</para> + +<sect1

The fundamental type + is the spinlock + (<filename class="headerfile">include/asm/spinlock.h</filename>), + which is a very simple single-holder lock: if you can't get the + spinlock, you keep trying (spinning) until you can. Spinlocks are + very small and fast, and can be used anywhere. + </para> + <para> + The second type is a mutex + (<filename class="headerfile">include/linux/mutex.h</filename>): it + is like a spinlock, but you may block holding a mutex. + If you can't lock a mutex, your task will suspend itself, and be woken + up when the mutex is released. This means the CPU can do something + else while you are waiting. There are many cases when you simply + can't sleep (see <xref linkend="sleeping-things"/>), and so have to + use a spinlock instead. + </para> + <para> + Neither type of lock is recursive: see + <xref linkend="deadlock"/>. + </para> + </sect1> + + <sect1 id="uniprocessor"> + <title>Locks and Uniprocessor Kernels</title> + + <para> + For kernels compiled without <symbol>CONFIG_SMP</symbol>, and + without <symbol>CONFIG_PREEMPT</symbol> spinlocks do not exist at + all. This is an excellent design decision: when no-one else can + run at the same time, there is no reason to have a lock. + </para> + + <para> + If the kernel is compiled without <symbol>CONFIG_SMP</symbol>, + but <symbol>CONFIG_PREEMPT</symbol> is set, then spinlocks + simply disable preemption, which is sufficient to prevent any + races. For most purposes, we can think of preemption as + equivalent to SMP, and not worry about it separately. + </para> + + <para> + You should always test your locking code with <symbol>CONFIG_SMP</symbol> + and <symbol>CONFIG_PREEMPT</symbol> enabled, even if you don't have an SMP test box, because it + will still catch some kinds of locking bugs. + </para> + + <para> + Mutexes still exist, because they are required for + synchronization between <firstterm linkend="gloss-usercontext">user + contexts</firstterm>, as we will see below. + </para> + </sect1> + + <sect1 id="usercontextlocking"> + <title>Locking Only In User Context</title> + + <para> + If you have a data structure which is only ever accessed from + user context, then you can use a simple mutex + (<filename>include/linux/mutex.h</filename>) to protect it.

First is concurrency: how many things +are going to be waiting while someone else is holding a lock. Second +is the time taken to actually acquire and release an uncontended lock. +Third is using fewer, or smarter locks. I'm assuming that the lock is +used fairly often: otherwise, you wouldn't be concerned about +efficiency. +</para> + <para> +Concurrency depends on how long the lock is usually held: you should +hold the lock for as long as needed, but no longer. In the cache +example, we always create the object without the lock held, and then +grab the lock only when we are ready to insert it in the list. +</para> + <para> +Acquisition times depend on how much damage the lock operations do to +the pipeline (pipeline stalls) and how likely it is that this CPU was +the last one to grab the lock (ie. is the lock cache-hot for this +CPU): on a machine with more CPUs, this likelihood drops fast. +Consider a 700MHz Intel Pentium III: an instruction takes about 0.7ns, +an atomic increment takes about 58ns, a lock which is cache-hot on +this CPU takes 160ns, and a cacheline transfer from another CPU takes +an additional 170 to 360ns. (These figures from Paul McKenney's +<ulink url="http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6993"> Linux +Journal RCU article</ulink>). +</para> + <para> +These two aims conflict: holding a lock for a short time might be done +by splitting locks into parts (such as in our final per-object-lock +example), but this increases the number of lock acquisitions, and the +results are often slower than having a single lock. This is another +reason to advocate locking simplicity. +</para> + <para> +The third concern is addressed below: there are some methods to reduce +the amount of locking which needs to be done. +</para> + + <sect1 id="efficiency-rwlocks"> + <title>Read/Write Lock Variants</title> + + <para> + Both spinlocks and mutexes have read/write variants: + <type>rwlock_t</type> and <structname>struct rw_semaphore</structname>. + These divide users into two classes: the readers and the writers. If + you are only reading the data, you can get a read lock, but to write to + the data you need the write lock. Many people can hold a read lock, + but a writer must be sole holder. + </para> + + <para> + If your code divides neatly along reader/writer lines (as our + cache code does), and the lock is held by readers for + significant lengths of time, using these locks can help. They + are slightly slower than the normal locks though, so in practice + <type>rwlock_t</type> is not usually worthwhile. + </para> + </sect1> + + <sect1 id="efficiency-read-copy-update"> + <title>Avoiding Locks: Read Copy Update</title> + + <para> + There is a special method of read/write locking called Read Copy + Update. Using RCU, the readers can avoid taking a lock + altogether: as we expect our cache to be read more often than + updated (otherwise the cache is a waste of time), it is a + candidate for this optimization. + </para> + + <para> + How do we get rid of read locks? Getting rid of read locks + means that writers may be changing the list underneath the + readers. That is actually quite simple: we can read a linked + list while an element is being added if the writer adds the + element very carefully. For example, adding + <symbol>new</symbol> to a single linked list called + <symbol>list</symbol>: + </para> + + <programlisting> + new->next = list->next; + wmb(); + list->next = new; + </programlisting> + + <para> + The <function>wmb()</function> is a write memory barrier. It + ensures that the first operation (setting the new element's + <symbol>next</symbol> pointer) is complete and will be seen by + all CPUs, before the second operation is (putting the new + element into the list). This is important, since modern + compilers and modern CPUs can both reorder instructions unless + told otherwise: we want a reader to either not see the new + element at all, or see the new element with the + <symbol>next</symbol> pointer correctly pointing at the rest of + the list. + </para> + <para> + Fortunately, there is a function to do this for standard + <structname>struct list_head</structname> lists: + <function>list_add_rcu()</function> + (<filename>include/linux/list.h</filename>). + </para> + <para> + Removing an element from the list is even simpler: we replace + the pointer to the old element with a pointer to its successor, + and readers will either see it, or skip over it. + </para> + <programlisting> + list->next = old->next; + </programlisting> + <para> + There is <function>list_del_rcu()</function> + (<filename>include/linux/list.h</filename>) which does this (the + normal version poisons the old object, which we don't want). + </para> + <para> + The reader must also be careful: some CPUs can look through the + <symbol>next</symbol> pointer to start reading the contents of + the next element early, but don't realize that the pre-fetched + contents is wrong when the <symbol>next</symbol> pointer changes + underneath them. Once again, there is a + <function>list_for_each_entry_rcu()</function> + (<filename>include/linux/list.h</filename>) to help you. Of + course, writers can just use + <function>list_for_each_entry()</function>, since there cannot + be two simultaneous writers. + </para> + <para> + Our final dilemma is this: when can we actually destroy the + removed element? Remember, a reader might be stepping through + this element in the list right now: if we free this element and + the <symbol>next</symbol> pointer changes, the reader will jump + off into garbage and crash. We need to wait until we know that + all the readers who were traversing the list when we deleted the + element are finished. We use <function>call_rcu()</function> to + register a callback which will actually destroy the object once + all pre-existing readers are finished. Alternatively, + <function>synchronize_rcu()</function> may be used to block until + all pre-existing are finished. + </para> + <para> + But how does Read Copy Update know when the readers are + finished? The method is this: firstly, the readers always + traverse the list inside + <function>rcu_read_lock()</function>/<function>rcu_read_unlock()</function> + pairs: these simply disable preemption so the reader won't go to + sleep while reading the list. + </para> + <para> + RCU then waits until every other CPU has slept at least once: + since readers cannot sleep, we know that any readers which were + traversing the list during the deletion are finished, and the + callback is triggered. The real Read Copy Update code is a + little more optimized than this, but this is the fundamental + idea. + </para> + +<programlisting> +--- cache.c.perobjectlock 2003-12-11 17:15:03.000000000 +1100 ++++ cache.c.rcupdate 2003-12-11 17:55:14.000000000 +1100 +@@ -1,15 +1,18 @@ + #include <linux/list.h> + #include <linux/slab.h> + #include <linux/string.h> ++#include <linux/rcupdate.h> + #include <linux/mutex.h> + #include <asm/errno.h> + + struct object + { +- /* These two protected by cache_lock. */ ++ /* This is protected by RCU */ + struct list_head list; + int popularity; + ++ struct rcu_head rcu; ++ + atomic_t refcnt; + + /* Doesn't change once created. */ +@@ -40,7 +43,7 @@ + { + struct object *i; + +- list_for_each_entry(i, &cache, list) { ++ list_for_each_entry_rcu(i, &cache, list) { + if (i->id == id) { + i->popularity++; + return i; +@@ -49,19 +52,25 @@ + return NULL; + } + ++/* Final discard done once we know no readers are looking. */ ++static void cache_delete_rcu(void *arg) ++{ ++ object_put(arg); ++} ++ + /* Must be holding cache_lock */ + static void __cache_delete(struct object *obj) + { + BUG_ON(!obj); +- list_del(&obj->list); +- object_put(obj); ++ list_del_rcu(&obj->list); + cache_num--; ++ call_rcu(&obj->rcu, cache_delete_rcu); + } + + /* Must be holding cache_lock */ + static void __cache_add(struct object *obj) + { +- list_add(&obj->list, &cache); ++ list_add_rcu(&obj->list, &cache); + if (++cache_num > MAX_CACHE_SIZE) { + struct object *i, *outcast = NULL; + list_for_each_entry(i, &cache, list) { +@@ -104,12 +114,11 @@ + struct object *cache_find(int id) + { + struct object *obj; +- unsigned long flags; + +- spin_lock_irqsave(&cache_lock, flags); ++ rcu_read_lock(); + obj = __cache_find(id); + if (obj) + object_get(obj); +- spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cache_lock, flags); ++ rcu_read_unlock(); + return obj; + } +</programlisting> + +<para> +Note that the reader will alter the +<structfield>popularity</structfield> member in +<function>__cache_find()</function>, and now it doesn't hold a lock. +One solution would be to make it an <type>atomic_t</type>, but for +this usage, we don't really care about races: an approximate result is +good enough, so I didn't change it. +</para> + +<para> +The result is that <function>cache_find()</function> requires no +synchronization with any other functions, so is almost as fast on SMP +as it would be on UP. +</para> + +<para> +There is a furthur optimization possible here: remember our original +cache code, where there were no reference counts and the caller simply +held the lock whenever using the object?

SELinux is an implementation of flexible and fine-grained +nondiscretionary access controls in the Linux kernel, originally +implemented as its own particular kernel patch. Several other +security projects (e.g. RSBAC, Medusa) have also developed flexible +access control architectures for the Linux kernel, and various +projects have developed particular access control models for Linux +(e.g. LIDS, DTE, SubDomain). Each project has developed and +maintained its own kernel patch to support its security needs. +</para> + +<para> +In response to the NSA presentation, Linus Torvalds made a set of +remarks that described a security framework he would be willing to +consider for inclusion in the mainstream Linux kernel. He described a +general framework that would provide a set of security hooks to +control operations on kernel objects and a set of opaque security +fields in kernel data structures for maintaining security attributes. +This framework could then be used by loadable kernel modules to +implement any desired model of security. Linus also suggested the +possibility of migrating the Linux capabilities code into such a +module. +</para> + +<para> +The Linux Security Modules (LSM) project was started by WireX to +develop such a framework. LSM is a joint development effort by +several security projects, including Immunix, SELinux, SGI and Janus, +and several individuals, including Greg Kroah-Hartman and James +Morris, to develop a Linux kernel patch that implements this +framework. The patch is currently tracking the 2.4 series and is +targeted for integration into the 2.5 development series. This +technical report provides an overview of the framework and the example +capabilities security module provided by the LSM kernel patch. +</para> + +</sect1> + +<sect1 id="framework"><title>LSM Framework</title> + +<para> +The LSM kernel patch provides a general kernel framework to support +security modules. In particular, the LSM framework is primarily +focused on supporting access control modules, although future +development is likely to address other security needs such as +auditing. By itself, the framework does not provide any additional +security; it merely provides the infrastructure to support security +modules. The LSM kernel patch also moves most of the capabilities +logic into an optional security module, with the system defaulting +to the traditional superuser logic. This capabilities module +is discussed further in <xref linkend="cap"/>. +</para> + +<para> +The LSM kernel patch adds security fields to kernel data structures +and inserts calls to hook functions at critical points in the kernel +code to manage the security fields and to perform access control. It +also adds functions for registering and unregistering security +modules, and adds a general <function>security</function> system call +to support new system calls for security-aware applications. +</para> + +<para> +The LSM security fields are simply <type>void*</type> pointers. For +process and program execution security information, security fields +were added to <structname>struct task_struct</structname> and +<structname>struct linux_binprm</structname>. For filesystem security +information, a security field was added to +<structname>struct super_block</structname>. For pipe, file, and socket +security information, security fields were added to +<structname>struct inode</structname> and +<structname>struct file</structname>. For packet and network device security +information, security fields were added to +<structname>struct sk_buff</structname> and +<structname>struct net_device</structname>. For System V IPC security +information, security fields were added to +<structname>struct kern_ipc_perm</structname> and +<structname>struct msg_msg</structname>; additionally, the definitions +for <structname>struct msg_msg</structname>, <structname>struct +msg_queue</structname>, and <structname>struct +shmid_kernel</structname> were moved to header files +(<filename>include/linux/msg.h</filename> and +<filename>include/linux/shm.h</filename> as appropriate) to allow +the security modules to use these definitions. +</para> + +<para> +Each LSM hook is a function pointer in a global table, +security_ops. This table is a +<structname>security_operations</structname> structure as defined by +<filename>include/linux/security.h</filename>. Detailed documentation +for each hook is included in this header file. At present, this +structure consists of a collection of substructures that group related +hooks based on the kernel object (e.g. task, inode, file, sk_buff, +etc) as well as some top-level hook function pointers for system +operations. This structure is likely to be flattened in the future +for performance. The placement of the hook calls in the kernel code +is described by the "called:" lines in the per-hook documentation in +the header file. The hook calls can also be easily found in the +kernel code by looking for the string "security_ops->". + +</para> + +<para> +Linus mentioned per-process security hooks in his original remarks as a +possible alternative to global security hooks. However, if LSM were +to start from the perspective of per-process hooks, then the base +framework would have to deal with how to handle operations that +involve multiple processes (e.g. kill), since each process might have +its own hook for controlling the operation. This would require a +general mechanism for composing hooks in the base framework. +Additionally, LSM would still need global hooks for operations that +have no process context (e.g. network input operations). +Consequently, LSM provides global security hooks, but a security +module is free to implement per-process hooks (where that makes sense) +by storing a security_ops table in each process' security field and +then invoking these per-process hooks from the global hooks. +The problem of composition is thus deferred to the module. +</para> + +<para> +The global security_ops table is initialized to a set of hook +functions provided by a dummy security module that provides +traditional superuser logic. A <function>register_security</function> +function (in <filename>security/security.c</filename>) is provided to +allow a security module to set security_ops to refer to its own hook +functions, and an <function>unregister_security</function> function is +provided to revert security_ops to the dummy module hooks. This +mechanism is used to set the primary security module, which is +responsible for making the final decision for each hook. +</para> + +<para> +LSM also provides a simple mechanism for stacking additional security +modules with the primary security module. It defines +<function>register_security</function> and +<function>unregister_security</function> hooks in the +<structname>security_operations</structname> structure and provides +<function>mod_reg_security</function> and +<function>mod_unreg_security</function> functions that invoke these +hooks after performing some sanity checking. A security module can +call these functions in order to stack with other modules. However, +the actual details of how this stacking is handled are deferred to the +module, which can implement these hooks in any way it wishes +(including always returning an error if it does not wish to support +stacking). In this manner, LSM again defers the problem of +composition to the module. +</para> + +<para> +Although the LSM hooks are organized into substructures based on +kernel object, all of the hooks can be viewed as falling into two +major categories: hooks that are used to manage the security fields +and hooks that are used to perform access control. Examples of the +first category of hooks include the +<function>alloc_security</function> and +<function>free_security</function> hooks defined for each kernel data +structure that has a security field. These hooks are used to allocate +and free security structures for kernel objects. The first category +of hooks also includes hooks that set information in the security +field after allocation, such as the <function>post_lookup</function> +hook in <structname>struct inode_security_ops</structname>. This hook +is used to set security information for inodes after successful lookup +operations. An example of the second category of hooks is the +<function>permission</function> hook in +<structname>struct inode_security_ops</structname>. This hook checks +permission when accessing an inode. +</para> + +</sect1> + +<sect1 id="cap"><title>LSM Capabilities Module</title> + +<para> +The LSM kernel patch moves most of the existing POSIX.1e capabilities +logic into an optional security module stored in the file +<filename>security/capability.c</filename>. This change allows +users who do not want to use capabilities to omit this code entirely +from their kernel, instead using the dummy module for traditional +superuser logic or any other module that they desire. This change +also allows the developers of the capabilities logic to maintain and +enhance their code more freely, without needing to integrate patches +back into the base kernel. +</para> + +<para> +In addition to moving the capabilities logic, the LSM kernel patch +could move the capability-related fields from the kernel data +structures into the new security fields managed by the security +modules. However, at present, the LSM kernel patch leaves the +capability fields in the kernel data structures. In his original +remarks, Linus suggested that this might be preferable so that other +security modules can be easily stacked with the capabilities module +without needing to chain multiple security structures on the security field. +It also avoids imposing extra overhead on the capabilities module +to manage the security fields. However, the LSM framework could +certainly support such a move if it is determined to be desirable, +with only a few additional changes described below. +</para> + +<para> +At present, the capabilities logic for computing process capabilities +on <function>execve</function> and <function>set*uid</function>, +checking capabilities for a particular process, saving and checking +capabilities for netlink messages, and handling the +<function>capget</function> and <function>capset</function> system +calls have been moved into the capabilities module. There are still a +few locations in the base kernel where capability-related fields are +directly examined or modified, but the current version of the LSM +patch does allow a security module to completely replace the +assignment and testing of capabilities. These few locations would +need to be changed if the capability-related fields were moved into +the security field.

In such a case, the kernel has to disable the IRQ completely + to leave the chip's register untouched. Now the userspace part can + determine the cause of the interrupt, but it cannot re-enable + interrupts. Another cornercase is chips where re-enabling interrupts + is a read-modify-write operation to a combined IRQ status/acknowledge + register. This would be racy if a new interrupt occurred + simultaneously. + </para> + <para> + To address these problems, UIO also implements a write() function. It + is normally not used and can be ignored for hardware that has only a + single interrupt source or has separate IRQ mask and status registers. + If you need it, however, a write to <filename>/dev/uioX</filename> + will call the <function>irqcontrol()</function> function implemented + by the driver. You have to write a 32-bit value that is usually either + 0 or 1 to disable or enable interrupts.

However, +it turned out to be a very useful model for implementing more +complicated driver APIs where each driver implements only a subset of +a larger API.</para> + + <para>The MPEG encoding API was the driving force behind +designing and implementing this extended control mechanism: the MPEG +standard is quite large and the currently supported hardware MPEG +encoders each only implement a subset of this standard. Further more, +many parameters relating to how the video is encoded into an MPEG +stream are specific to the MPEG encoding chip since the MPEG standard +only defines the format of the resulting MPEG stream, not how the +video is actually encoded into that format.</para> + + <para>Unfortunately, the original control API lacked some +features needed for these new uses and so it was extended into the +(not terribly originally named) extended control API.</para> + + <para>Even though the MPEG encoding API was the first effort +to use the Extended Control API, nowadays there are also other classes +of Extended Controls, such as Camera Controls and FM Transmitter Controls. +The Extended Controls API as well as all Extended Controls classes are +described in the following text.</para> + </section> + + <section> + <title>The Extended Control API</title> + + <para>Three new ioctls are available: &VIDIOC-G-EXT-CTRLS;, +&VIDIOC-S-EXT-CTRLS; and &VIDIOC-TRY-EXT-CTRLS;. These ioctls act on +arrays of controls (as opposed to the &VIDIOC-G-CTRL; and +&VIDIOC-S-CTRL; ioctls that act on a single control). This is needed +since it is often required to atomically change several controls at +once.</para> + + <para>Each of the new ioctls expects a pointer to a +&v4l2-ext-controls;. This structure contains a pointer to the control +array, a count of the number of controls in that array and a control +class. Control classes are used to group similar controls into a +single class. For example, control class +<constant>V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_USER</constant> contains all user controls +(&ie; all controls that can also be set using the old +<constant>VIDIOC_S_CTRL</constant> ioctl). Control class +<constant>V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_MPEG</constant> contains all controls +relating to MPEG encoding, etc.</para> + + <para>All controls in the control array must belong to the +specified control class. An error is returned if this is not the +case.</para> + + <para>It is also possible to use an empty control array (count +== 0) to check whether the specified control class is +supported.</para> + + <para>The control array is a &v4l2-ext-control; array. The +<structname>v4l2_ext_control</structname> structure is very similar to +&v4l2-control;, except for the fact that it also allows for 64-bit +values and pointers to be passed.</para> + + <para>It is important to realize that due to the flexibility of +controls it is necessary to check whether the control you want to set +actually is supported in the driver and what the valid range of values +is. So use the &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; and &VIDIOC-QUERYMENU; ioctls to +check this. Also note that it is possible that some of the menu +indices in a control of type <constant>V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_MENU</constant> +may not be supported (<constant>VIDIOC_QUERYMENU</constant> will +return an error).

V4L2 includes several +such formats, and this section is intended to be an unambiguous +specification of the standard image data formats in V4L2.</para> + + <para>V4L2 drivers are not limited to these formats, however. +Driver-specific formats are possible. In that case the application may +depend on a codec to convert images to one of the standard formats +when needed. But the data can still be stored and retrieved in the +proprietary format. For example, a device may support a proprietary +compressed format. Applications can still capture and save the data in +the compressed format, saving much disk space, and later use a codec +to convert the images to the X Windows screen format when the video is +to be displayed.</para> + + <para>Even so, ultimately, some standard formats are needed, so +the V4L2 specification would not be complete without well-defined +standard formats.</para> + + <para>The V4L2 standard formats are mainly uncompressed formats. The +pixels are always arranged in memory from left to right, and from top +to bottom. The first byte of data in the image buffer is always for +the leftmost pixel of the topmost row. Following that is the pixel +immediately to its right, and so on until the end of the top row of +pixels. Following the rightmost pixel of the row there may be zero or +more bytes of padding to guarantee that each row of pixel data has a +certain alignment. Following the pad bytes, if any, is data for the +leftmost pixel of the second row from the top, and so on. The last row +has just as many pad bytes after it as the other rows.</para> + + <para>In V4L2 each format has an identifier which looks like +<constant>PIX_FMT_XXX</constant>, defined in the <link +linkend="videodev">videodev.h</link> header file. These identifiers +represent <link linkend="v4l2-fourcc">four character (FourCC) codes</link> +which are also listed below, however they are not the same as those +used in the Windows world.</para> + + <para>For some formats, data is stored in separate, discontiguous +memory buffers. Those formats are identified by a separate set of FourCC codes +and are referred to as "multi-planar formats". For example, a YUV422 frame is +normally stored in one memory buffer, but it can also be placed in two or three +separate buffers, with Y component in one buffer and CbCr components in another +in the 2-planar version or with each component in its own buffer in the +3-planar case. Those sub-buffers are referred to as "planes".</para> + </section> + + <section id="colorspaces"> + <title>Colorspaces</title> + + <para>[intro]</para> + + <!-- See proposal by Billy Biggs, video4linux-list@redhat.com +on 11 Oct 2002, subject: "Re: [V4L] Re: v4l2 api", and +http://vektor.theorem.ca/graphics/ycbcr/ and +http://www.poynton.com/notes/colour_and_gamma/ColorFAQ.html --> + + <para> + <variablelist> + <varlistentry> + <term>Gamma Correction</term> + <listitem> + <para>[to do]</para> + <para>E'<subscript>R</subscript> = f(R)</para> + <para>E'<subscript>G</subscript> = f(G)</para> + <para>E'<subscript>B</subscript> = f(B)</para> + </listitem> + </varlistentry> + <varlistentry> + <term>Construction of luminance and color-difference +signals</term> + <listitem> + <para>[to do]</para> + <para>E'<subscript>Y</subscript> = +Coeff<subscript>R</subscript> E'<subscript>R</subscript> ++ Coeff<subscript>G</subscript> E'<subscript>G</subscript> ++ Coeff<subscript>B</subscript> E'<subscript>B</subscript></para> + <para>(E'<subscript>R</subscript> - E'<subscript>Y</subscript>) = E'<subscript>R</subscript> +- Coeff<subscript>R</subscript> E'<subscript>R</subscript> +- Coeff<subscript>G</subscript> E'<subscript>G</subscript> +- Coeff<subscript>B</subscript> E'<subscript>B</subscript></para> + <para>(E'<subscript>B</subscript> - E'<subscript>Y</subscript>) = E'<subscript>B</subscript> +- Coeff<subscript>R</subscript> E'<subscript>R</subscript> +- Coeff<subscript>G</subscript> E'<subscript>G</subscript> +- Coeff<subscript>B</subscript> E'<subscript>B</subscript></para> + </listitem> + </varlistentry> + <varlistentry> + <term>Re-normalized color-difference signals</term> + <listitem> + <para>The color-difference signals are scaled back to unity +range [-0.5;+0.5]:</para> + <para>K<subscript>B</subscript> = 0.5 / (1 - Coeff<subscript>B</subscript>)</para> + <para>K<subscript>R</subscript> = 0.5 / (1 - Coeff<subscript>R</subscript>)</para> + <para>P<subscript>B</subscript> = +K<subscript>B</subscript> (E'<subscript>B</subscript> - E'<subscript>Y</subscript>) = + 0.5 (Coeff<subscript>R</subscript> / Coeff<subscript>B</subscript>) E'<subscript>R</subscript> ++ 0.5 (Coeff<subscript>G</subscript> / Coeff<subscript>B</subscript>) E'<subscript>G</subscript> ++ 0.5 E'<subscript>B</subscript></para> + <para>P<subscript>R</subscript> = +K<subscript>R</subscript> (E'<subscript>R</subscript> - E'<subscript>Y</subscript>) = + 0.5 E'<subscript>R</subscript> ++ 0.5 (Coeff<subscript>G</subscript> / Coeff<subscript>R</subscript>) E'<subscript>G</subscript> ++ 0.5 (Coeff<subscript>B</subscript> / Coeff<subscript>R</subscript>) E'<subscript>B</subscript></para> + </listitem> + </varlistentry> + <varlistentry> + <term>Quantization</term> + <listitem> + <para>[to do]</para> + <para>Y' = (Lum.

Linux currently supports + almost all USB class devices (standard types of devices like keyboards, + mice, modems, printers and speakers) and an ever-growing number of + vendor-specific devices (such as USB to serial converters, digital + cameras, Ethernet devices and MP3 players). For a full list of the + different USB devices currently supported, see Resources. + </para> + <para> + The remaining kinds of USB devices that do not have support on Linux are + almost all vendor-specific devices. Each vendor decides to implement a + custom protocol to talk to their device, so a custom driver usually needs + to be created. Some vendors are open with their USB protocols and help + with the creation of Linux drivers, while others do not publish them, and + developers are forced to reverse-engineer. See Resources for some links + to handy reverse-engineering tools. + </para> + <para> + Because each different protocol causes a new driver to be created, I have + written a generic USB driver skeleton, modeled after the pci-skeleton.c + file in the kernel source tree upon which many PCI network drivers have + been based. This USB skeleton can be found at drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c + in the kernel source tree. In this article I will walk through the basics + of the skeleton driver, explaining the different pieces and what needs to + be done to customize it to your specific device. + </para> + </chapter> + + <chapter id="basics"> + <title>Linux USB Basics</title> + <para> + If you are going to write a Linux USB driver, please become familiar with + the USB protocol specification. It can be found, along with many other + useful documents, at the USB home page (see Resources). An excellent + introduction to the Linux USB subsystem can be found at the USB Working + Devices List (see Resources). It explains how the Linux USB subsystem is + structured and introduces the reader to the concept of USB urbs + (USB Request Blocks), which are essential to USB drivers. + </para> + <para> + The first thing a Linux USB driver needs to do is register itself with + the Linux USB subsystem, giving it some information about which devices + the driver supports and which functions to call when a device supported + by the driver is inserted or removed from the system. All of this + information is passed to the USB subsystem in the usb_driver structure. + The skeleton driver declares a usb_driver as: + </para> + <programlisting> +static struct usb_driver skel_driver = { + .name = "skeleton", + .probe = skel_probe, + .disconnect = skel_disconnect, + .fops = &skel_fops, + .minor = USB_SKEL_MINOR_BASE, + .id_table = skel_table, +}; + </programlisting> + <para> + The variable name is a string that describes the driver. It is used in + informational messages printed to the system log. The probe and + disconnect function pointers are called when a device that matches the + information provided in the id_table variable is either seen or removed. + </para> + <para> + The fops and minor variables are optional. Most USB drivers hook into + another kernel subsystem, such as the SCSI, network or TTY subsystem. + These types of drivers register themselves with the other kernel + subsystem, and any user-space interactions are provided through that + interface. But for drivers that do not have a matching kernel subsystem, + such as MP3 players or scanners, a method of interacting with user space + is needed. The USB subsystem provides a way to register a minor device + number and a set of file_operations function pointers that enable this + user-space interaction. The skeleton driver needs this kind of interface, + so it provides a minor starting number and a pointer to its + file_operations functions. + </para> + <para> + The USB driver is then registered with a call to usb_register, usually in + the driver's init function, as shown here: + </para> + <programlisting> +static int __init usb_skel_init(void) +{ + int result; + + /* register this driver with the USB subsystem */ + result = usb_register(&skel_driver); + if (result < 0) { + err("usb_register failed for the "__FILE__ "driver." + "Error number %d", result); + return -1; + } + + return 0; +} +module_init(usb_skel_init); + </programlisting> + <para> + When the driver is unloaded from the system, it needs to deregister + itself with the USB subsystem. This is done with the usb_deregister + function: + </para> + <programlisting> +static void __exit usb_skel_exit(void) +{ + /* deregister this driver with the USB subsystem */ + usb_deregister(&skel_driver); +} +module_exit(usb_skel_exit); + </programlisting> + <para> + To enable the linux-hotplug system to load the driver automatically when + the device is plugged in, you need to create a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE. The + following code tells the hotplug scripts that this module supports a + single device with a specific vendor and product ID: + </para> + <programlisting> +/* table of devices that work with this driver */ +static struct usb_device_id skel_table [] = { + { USB_DEVICE(USB_SKEL_VENDOR_ID, USB_SKEL_PRODUCT_ID) }, + { } /* Terminating entry */ +}; +MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE (usb, skel_table); + </programlisting> + <para> + There are other macros that can be used in describing a usb_device_id for + drivers that support a whole class of USB drivers. See usb.h for more + information on this. + </para> + </chapter> + + <chapter id="device"> + <title>Device operation</title> + <para> + When a device is plugged into the USB bus that matches the device ID + pattern that your driver registered with the USB core, the probe function + is called. The usb_device structure, interface number and the interface ID + are passed to the function: + </para> + <programlisting> +static int skel_probe(struct usb_interface *interface, + const struct usb_device_id *id) + </programlisting> + <para> + The driver now needs to verify that this device is actually one that it + can accept. If so, it returns 0. + If not, or if any error occurs during initialization, an errorcode + (such as <literal>-ENOMEM</literal> or <literal>-ENODEV</literal>) + is returned from the probe function. + </para> + <para> + In the skeleton driver, we determine what end points are marked as bulk-in + and bulk-out. We create buffers to hold the data that will be sent and + received from the device, and a USB urb to write data to the device is + initialized. + </para> + <para> + Conversely, when the device is removed from the USB bus, the disconnect + function is called with the device pointer. The driver needs to clean any + private data that has been allocated at this time and to shut down any + pending urbs that are in the USB system. + </para> + <para> + Now that the device is plugged into the system and the driver is bound to + the device, any of the functions in the file_operations structure that + were passed to the USB subsystem will be called from a user program trying + to talk to the device. The first function called will be open, as the + program tries to open the device for I/O. We increment our private usage + count and save a pointer to our internal structure in the file + structure. This is done so that future calls to file operations will + enable the driver to determine which device the user is addressing. All + of this is done with the following code: + </para> + <programlisting> +/* increment our usage count for the module */ +++skel->open_count; + +/* save our object in the file's private structure */ +file->private_data = dev; + </programlisting> + <para> + After the open function is called, the read and write functions are called + to receive and send data to the device. In the skel_write function, we + receive a pointer to some data that the user wants to send to the device + and the size of the data. The function determines how much data it can + send to the device based on the size of the write urb it has created (this + size depends on the size of the bulk out end point that the device has). + Then it copies the data from user space to kernel space, points the urb to + the data and submits the urb to the USB subsystem. This can be seen in + the following code: + </para> + <programlisting> +/* we can only write as much as 1 urb will hold */ +bytes_written = (count > skel->bulk_out_size) ? skel->bulk_out_size : count; + +/* copy the data from user space into our urb */ +copy_from_user(skel->write_urb->transfer_buffer, buffer, bytes_written); + +/* set up our urb */ +usb_fill_bulk_urb(skel->write_urb, + skel->dev, + usb_sndbulkpipe(skel->dev, skel->bulk_out_endpointAddr), + skel->write_urb->transfer_buffer, + bytes_written, + skel_write_bulk_callback, + skel); + +/* send the data out the bulk port */ +result = usb_submit_urb(skel->write_urb); +if (result) { + err("Failed submitting write urb, error %d", result); +} + </programlisting> + <para> + When the write urb is filled up with the proper information using the + usb_fill_bulk_urb function, we point the urb's completion callback to call our + own skel_write_bulk_callback function. This function is called when the + urb is finished by the USB subsystem. The callback function is called in + interrupt context, so caution must be taken not to do very much processing + at that time. Our implementation of skel_write_bulk_callback merely + reports if the urb was completed successfully or not and then returns. + </para> + <para> + The read function works a bit differently from the write function in that + we do not use an urb to transfer data from the device to the driver. + Instead we call the usb_bulk_msg function, which can be used to send or + receive data from a device without having to create urbs and handle + urb completion callback functions. We call the usb_bulk_msg function, + giving it a buffer into which to place any data received from the device + and a timeout value. If the timeout period expires without receiving any + data from the device, the function will fail and return an error message. + This can be shown with the following code: + </para> + <programlisting> +/* do an immediate bulk read to get data from the device */ +retval = usb_bulk_msg (skel->dev, + usb_rcvbulkpipe (skel->dev, + skel->bulk_in_endpointAddr), + skel->bulk_in_buffer, + skel->bulk_in_size, + &count, HZ*10); +/* if the read was successful, copy the data to user space */ +if (!retval) { + if (copy_to_user (buffer, skel->bulk_in_buffer, count)) + retval = -EFAULT; + else + retval = count; +} + </programlisting> + <para> + The usb_bulk_msg function can be very useful for doing single reads or + writes to a device; however, if you need to read or write constantly to a + device, it is recommended to set up your own urbs and submit them to the + USB subsystem. + </para> + <para> + When the user program releases the file handle that it has been using to + talk to the device, the release function in the driver is called. In this + function we decrement our private usage count and wait for possible + pending writes: + </para> + <programlisting> +/* decrement our usage count for the device */ +--skel->open_count; + </programlisting> + <para> + One of the more difficult problems that USB drivers must be able to handle + smoothly is the fact that the USB device may be removed from the system at + any point in time, even if a program is currently talking to it. It needs + to be able to shut down any current reads and writes and notify the + user-space programs that the device is no longer there. The following + code (function <function>skel_delete</function>) + is an example of how to do this: </para> + <programlisting> +static inline void skel_delete (struct usb_skel *dev) +{ + kfree (dev->bulk_in_buffer); + if (dev->bulk_out_buffer != NULL) + usb_free_coherent (dev->udev, dev->bulk_out_size, + dev->bulk_out_buffer, + dev->write_urb->transfer_dma); + usb_free_urb (dev->write_urb); + kfree (dev); +} + </programlisting> + <para> + If a program currently has an open handle to the device, we reset the flag + <literal>device_present</literal>. For + every read, write, release and other functions that expect a device to be + present, the driver first checks this flag to see if the device is + still present. If not, it releases that the device has disappeared, and a + -ENODEV error is returned to the user-space program. When the release + function is eventually called, it determines if there is no device + and if not, it does the cleanup that the skel_disconnect + function normally does if there are no open files on the device (see + Listing 5). + </para> + </chapter> + + <chapter id="iso"> + <title>Isochronous Data</title> + <para> + This usb-skeleton driver does not have any examples of interrupt or + isochronous data being sent to or from the device. Interrupt data is sent + almost exactly as bulk data is, with a few minor exceptions. Isochronous + data works differently with continuous streams of data being sent to or + from the device. The audio and video camera drivers are very good examples + of drivers that handle isochronous data and will be useful if you also + need to do this. + </para> + </chapter> + + <chapter id="Conclusion"> + <title>Conclusion</title> + <para> + Writing Linux USB device drivers is not a difficult task as the + usb-skeleton driver shows.

The low level driver will do the Z8530 and + DMA controller programming but not board specific magic. + </para> + <para> + Having initialised the device you can then call + <function>z8530_init</function>. This will probe the chip and + reset it into a known state. An identification sequence is then + run to identify the chip type. If the checks fail to pass the + function returns a non zero error code. Typically this indicates + that the port given is not valid. After this call the + type field of the z8530_dev structure is initialised to either + Z8530, Z85C30 or Z85230 according to the chip found. + </para> + <para> + Once you have called z8530_init you can also make use of the utility + function <function>z8530_describe</function>. This provides a + consistent reporting format for the Z8530 devices, and allows all + the drivers to provide consistent reporting. + </para> + </chapter> + + <chapter id="Attaching_Network_Interfaces"> + <title>Attaching Network Interfaces</title> + <para> + If you wish to use the network interface facilities of the driver, + then you need to attach a network device to each channel that is + present and in use. In addition to use the generic HDLC + you need to follow some additional plumbing rules. They may seem + complex but a look at the example hostess_sv11 driver should + reassure you. + </para> + <para> + The network device used for each channel should be pointed to by + the netdevice field of each channel. The hdlc-> priv field of the + network device points to your private data - you will need to be + able to find your private data from this. + </para> + <para> + The way most drivers approach this particular problem is to + create a structure holding the Z8530 device definition and + put that into the private field of the network device. The + network device fields of the channels then point back to the + network devices. + </para> + <para> + If you wish to use the generic HDLC then you need to register + the HDLC device. + </para> + <para> + Before you register your network device you will also need to + provide suitable handlers for most of the network device callbacks. + See the network device documentation for more details on this. + </para> + </chapter> + + <chapter id="Configuring_And_Activating_The_Port"> + <title>Configuring And Activating The Port</title> + <para> + The Z85230 driver provides helper functions and tables to load the + port registers on the Z8530 chips. When programming the register + settings for a channel be aware that the documentation recommends + initialisation orders. Strange things happen when these are not + followed. + </para> + <para> + <function>z8530_channel_load</function> takes an array of + pairs of initialisation values in an array of u8 type. The first + value is the Z8530 register number. Add 16 to indicate the alternate + register bank on the later chips. The array is terminated by a 255. + </para> + <para> + The driver provides a pair of public tables. The + z8530_hdlc_kilostream table is for the UK 'Kilostream' service and + also happens to cover most other end host configurations. The + z8530_hdlc_kilostream_85230 table is the same configuration using + the enhancements of the 85230 chip. The configuration loaded is + standard NRZ encoded synchronous data with HDLC bitstuffing. All + of the timing is taken from the other end of the link. + </para> + <para> + When writing your own tables be aware that the driver internally + tracks register values. It may need to reload values. You should + therefore be sure to set registers 1-7, 9-11, 14 and 15 in all + configurations. Where the register settings depend on DMA selection + the driver will update the bits itself when you open or close. + Loading a new table with the interface open is not recommended. + </para> + <para> + There are three standard configurations supported by the core + code. In PIO mode the interface is programmed up to use + interrupt driven PIO. This places high demands on the host processor + to avoid latency. The driver is written to take account of latency + issues but it cannot avoid latencies caused by other drivers, + notably IDE in PIO mode. Because the drivers allocate buffers you + must also prevent MTU changes while the port is open. + </para> + <para> + Once the port is open it will call the rx_function of each channel + whenever a completed packet arrived. This is invoked from + interrupt context and passes you the channel and a network + buffer (struct sk_buff) holding the data. The data includes + the CRC bytes so most users will want to trim the last two + bytes before processing the data. This function is very timing + critical. When you wish to simply discard data the support + code provides the function <function>z8530_null_rx</function> + to discard the data. + </para> + <para> + To active PIO mode sending and receiving the <function> + z8530_sync_open</function> is called. This expects to be passed + the network device and the channel. Typically this is called from + your network device open callback. On a failure a non zero error + status is returned. The <function>z8530_sync_close</function> + function shuts down a PIO channel. This must be done before the + channel is opened again and before the driver shuts down + and unloads. + </para> + <para> + The ideal mode of operation is dual channel DMA mode. Here the + kernel driver will configure the board for DMA in both directions. + The driver also handles ISA DMA issues such as controller + programming and the memory range limit for you. This mode is + activated by calling the <function>z8530_sync_dma_open</function> + function. On failure a non zero error value is returned. + Once this mode is activated it can be shut down by calling the + <function>z8530_sync_dma_close</function>. You must call the close + function matching the open mode you used. + </para> + <para> + The final supported mode uses a single DMA channel to drive the + transmit side. As the Z85C30 has a larger FIFO on the receive + channel this tends to increase the maximum speed a little. + This is activated by calling the <function>z8530_sync_txdma_open + </function>. This returns a non zero error code on failure. The + <function>z8530_sync_txdma_close</function> function closes down + the Z8530 interface from this mode. + </para> + </chapter> + + <chapter id="Network_Layer_Functions"> + <title>Network Layer Functions</title> + <para> + The Z8530 layer provides functions to queue packets for + transmission.

Any further buffering is up to + the caller. + </para> + <para> + The function <function>z8530_queue_xmit</function> takes a network + buffer in sk_buff format and queues it for transmission. The + caller must provide the entire packet with the exception of the + bitstuffing and CRC. This is normally done by the caller via + the generic HDLC interface layer. It returns 0 if the buffer has been + queued and non zero values for queue full. If the function accepts + the buffer it becomes property of the Z8530 layer and the caller + should not free it. + </para> + <para> + The function <function>z8530_get_stats</function> returns a pointer + to an internally maintained per interface statistics block.
