PCMCIAutils replaces pcmcia-cs (see below). It properly sets up
PCMCIA sockets at system startup and loads the appropriate modules
for 16-bit PCMCIA devices if the kernel is modularized and the hotplug

Block io priorities
===================
Intro
-----
With the introduction of cfq v3 (aka cfq-ts or time sliced cfq), basic io
priorities is supported for reads on files. This enables users to io nice
processes or process groups, similar to what has been possible to cpu
scheduling for ages. This document mainly details the current possibilites
with cfq, other io schedulers do not support io priorities so far.
Scheduling classes
------------------
CFQ implements three generic scheduling classes that determine how io is
served for a process.
IOPRIO_CLASS_RT: This is the realtime io class. This scheduling class is given
higher priority than any other in the system, processes from this class are
given first access to the disk every time. Thus it needs to be used with some
care, one io RT process can starve the entire system. Within the RT class,
there are 8 levels of class data that determine exactly how much time this
process needs the disk for on each service. In the future this might change
to be more directly mappable to performance, by passing in a wanted data
rate instead.
IOPRIO_CLASS_BE: This is the best-effort scheduling class, which is the default
for any process that hasn't set a specific io priority. The class data
determines how much io bandwidth the process will get, it's directly mappable
to the cpu nice levels just more coarsely implemented. 0 is the highest
BE prio level, 7 is the lowest. The mapping between cpu nice level and io
nice level is determined as: io_nice = (cpu_nice + 20) / 5.
IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE: This is the idle scheduling class, processes running at this
level only get io time when no one else needs the disk. The idle class has no
class data, since it doesn't really apply here.
Tools
-----
See below for a sample ionice tool. Usage:
# ionice -c<class> -n<level> -p<pid>
If pid isn't given, the current process is assumed. IO priority settings
are inherited on fork, so you can use ionice to start the process at a given
level:
# ionice -c2 -n0 /bin/ls
will run ls at the best-effort scheduling class at the highest priority.
For a running process, you can give the pid instead:
# ionice -c1 -n2 -p100
will change pid 100 to run at the realtime scheduling class, at priority 2.

A. Compiler command:
This driver provides kernel support for Davicom DM9102(A)/DM9132/DM9801 ethernet cards ( CNET
10/100 ethernet cards uses Davicom chipset too, so this driver supports CNET cards too ).If you
didn't compile this driver as a module, it will automatically load itself on boot and print a
line similar to :
A-1: For normal single or multiple processor kernel
"gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dmfe.c"
dmfe: Davicom DM9xxx net driver, version 1.36.4 (2002-01-17)
A-2: For single or multiple processor with kernel module version function
"gcc -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet
-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dmfe.c"
If you compiled this driver as a module, you have to load it on boot.You can load it with command :
insmod dmfe
This way it will autodetect the device mode.This is the suggested way to load the module.Or you can pass
a mode= setting to module while loading, like :
insmod dmfe mode=0 # Force 10M Half Duplex
insmod dmfe mode=1 # Force 100M Half Duplex
insmod dmfe mode=4 # Force 10M Full Duplex
insmod dmfe mode=5 # Force 100M Full Duplex
Next you should configure your network interface with a command similar to :
ifconfig eth0 172.22.3.18
^^^^^^^^^^^
Your IP Adress
Then you may have to modify the default routing table with command :
route add default eth0
B. The following steps teach you how to activate a DM9102 board:
1. Used the upper compiler command to compile dmfe.c
2. Insert dmfe module into kernel
"insmod dmfe" ;;Auto Detection Mode (Suggest)
"insmod dmfe mode=0" ;;Force 10M Half Duplex
"insmod dmfe mode=1" ;;Force 100M Half Duplex
"insmod dmfe mode=4" ;;Force 10M Full Duplex
"insmod dmfe mode=5" ;;Force 100M Full Duplex
3. Config a dm9102 network interface
"ifconfig eth0 172.22.3.18"
^^^^^^^^^^^ Your IP address
4. Activate the IP routing table. For some distributions, it is not
necessary. You can type "route" to check.
"route add default eth0"
Now your ethernet card should be up and running.
5. Well done. Your DM9102 adapter is now activated.
TODO:
Implement pci_driver::suspend() and pci_driver::resume() power management methods.
Check on 64 bit boxes.
Check and fix on big endian boxes.
Test and make sure PCI latency is now correct for all cases.

LC-trie implementation notes.
Node types
----------
leaf
An end node with data. This has a copy of the relevant key, along
with 'hlist' with routing table entries sorted by prefix length.
See struct leaf and struct leaf_info.
trie node or tnode
An internal node, holding an array of child (leaf or tnode) pointers,
indexed through a subset of the key. See Level Compression.
A few concepts explained
------------------------
Bits (tnode)
The number of bits in the key segment used for indexing into the
child array - the "child index". See Level Compression.
Pos (tnode)
The position (in the key) of the key segment used for indexing into
the child array. See Path Compression.
Path Compression / skipped bits
Any given tnode is linked to from the child array of its parent, using
a segment of the key specified by the parent's "pos" and "bits"
In certain cases, this tnode's own "pos" will not be immediately
adjacent to the parent (pos+bits), but there will be some bits
in the key skipped over because they represent a single path with no
deviations. These "skipped bits" constitute Path Compression.
Note that the search algorithm will simply skip over these bits when
searching, making it necessary to save the keys in the leaves to
verify that they actually do match the key we are searching for.
Level Compression / child arrays
the trie is kept level balanced moving, under certain conditions, the
children of a full child (see "full_children") up one level, so that
instead of a pure binary tree, each internal node ("tnode") may
contain an arbitrarily large array of links to several children.
Conversely, a tnode with a mostly empty child array (see empty_children)
may be "halved", having some of its children moved downwards one level,
in order to avoid ever-increasing child arrays.
empty_children
the number of positions in the child array of a given tnode that are
NULL.
full_children
the number of children of a given tnode that aren't path compressed.
(in other words, they aren't NULL or leaves and their "pos" is equal
to this tnode's "pos"+"bits").
(The word "full" here is used more in the sense of "complete" than
as the opposite of "empty", which might be a tad confusing.)
Comments
---------
We have tried to keep the structure of the code as close to fib_hash as
possible to allow verification and help up reviewing.
fib_find_node()
A good start for understanding this code. This function implements a
straightforward trie lookup.
fib_insert_node()
Inserts a new leaf node in the trie. This is bit more complicated than
fib_find_node(). Inserting a new node means we might have to run the
level compression algorithm on part of the trie.
trie_leaf_remove()
Looks up a key, deletes it and runs the level compression algorithm.
trie_rebalance()
The key function for the dynamic trie after any change in the trie
it is run to optimize and reorganize. Tt will walk the trie upwards
towards the root from a given tnode, doing a resize() at each step
to implement level compression.
resize()
Analyzes a tnode and optimizes the child array size by either inflating
or shrinking it repeatedly until it fullfills the criteria for optimal
level compression. This part follows the original paper pretty closely
and there may be some room for experimentation here.
inflate()
Doubles the size of the child array within a tnode. Used by resize().
halve()
Halves the size of the child array within a tnode - the inverse of
inflate(). Used by resize();
fn_trie_insert(), fn_trie_delete(), fn_trie_select_default()
The route manipulation functions. Should conform pretty closely to the
corresponding functions in fib_hash.
fn_trie_flush()
This walks the full trie (using nextleaf()) and searches for empty
leaves which have to be removed.
fn_trie_dump()
Dumps the routing table ordered by prefix length. This is somewhat
slower than the corresponding fib_hash function, as we have to walk the
entire trie for each prefix length. In comparison, fib_hash is organized
as one "zone"/hash per prefix length.
Locking
-------
fib_lock is used for an RW-lock in the same way that this is done in fib_hash.
However, the functions are somewhat separated for other possible locking
scenarios. It might conceivably be possible to run trie_rebalance via RCU
to avoid read_lock in the fn_trie_lookup() function.
Main lookup mechanism
---------------------
fn_trie_lookup() is the main lookup function.
The lookup is in its simplest form just like fib_find_node(). We descend the
trie, key segment by key segment, until we find a leaf. check_leaf() does
the fib_semantic_match in the leaf's sorted prefix hlist.
If we find a match, we are done.
If we don't find a match, we enter prefix matching mode. The prefix length,
starting out at the same as the key length, is reduced one step at a time,
and we backtrack upwards through the trie trying to find a longest matching
prefix. The goal is always to reach a leaf and get a positive result from the
fib_semantic_match mechanism.
Inside each tnode, the search for longest matching prefix consists of searching
through the child array, chopping off (zeroing) the least significant "1" of
the child index until we find a match or the child index consists of nothing but
zeros.
At this point we backtrack (t->stats.backtrack++) up the trie, continuing to
chop off part of the key in order to find the longest matching prefix.
At this point we will repeatedly descend subtries to look for a match, and there
are some optimizations available that can provide us with "shortcuts" to avoid
descending into dead ends. Look for "HL_OPTIMIZE" sections in the code.
To alleviate any doubts about the correctness of the route selection process,
a new netlink operation has been added. Look for NETLINK_FIB_LOOKUP, which
gives userland access to fib_lookup().

Matching of PCMCIA devices to drivers is done using one or more of the
following criteria:
- manufactor ID
- card ID
- product ID strings _and_ hashes of these strings
- function ID
- device function (actual and pseudo)
You should use the helpers in include/pcmcia/device_id.h for generating the
struct pcmcia_device_id[] entries which match devices to drivers.
If you want to match product ID strings, you also need to pass the crc32
hashes of the string to the macro, e.g. if you want to match the product ID
string 1, you need to use
PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID1("some_string", 0x(hash_of_some_string)),
If the hash is incorrect, the kernel will inform you about this in "dmesg"
upon module initialization, and tell you of the correct hash.
You can determine the hash of the product ID strings by catting the file
"modalias" in the sysfs directory of the PCMCIA device. It generates a string
in the following form:
pcmcia:m0149cC1ABf06pfn00fn00pa725B842DpbF1EFEE84pc0877B627pd00000000
The hex value after "pa" is the hash of product ID string 1, after "pb" for
string 2 and so on.
Alternatively, you can use this small tool to determine the crc32 hash.
simply pass the string you want to evaluate as argument to this program,
e.g.
$ ./crc32hash "Dual Speed"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
/* crc32hash.c - derived from linux/lib/crc32.c, GNU GPL v2 */
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
unsigned int crc32(unsigned char const *p, unsigned int len)
{
int i;
unsigned int crc = 0;
while (len--) {
crc ^= *p++;
for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)
crc = (crc >> 1) ^ ((crc & 1) ? 0xedb88320 : 0);
}
return crc;
}
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
unsigned int result;
if (argc != 2) {
printf("no string passed as argument\n");
return -1;
}
result = crc32(argv[1], strlen(argv[1]));
printf("0x%x\n", result);

This file details changes in 2.6 which affect PCMCIA card driver authors:
* in-kernel device<->driver matching
PCMCIA devices and their correct drivers can now be matched in
kernelspace. See 'devicetable.txt' for details.
* Device model integration (as of 2.6.11)
A struct pcmcia_device is registered with the device model core,
and can be used (e.g. for SET_NETDEV_DEV) by using
handle_to_dev(client_handle_t * handle).
* Convert internal I/O port addresses to unsigned long (as of 2.6.11)
ioaddr_t should be replaced by kio_addr_t in PCMCIA card drivers.
* irq_mask and irq_list parameters (as of 2.6.11)
The irq_mask and irq_list parameters should no longer be used in
PCMCIA card drivers. Instead, it is the job of the PCMCIA core to
determine which IRQ should be used. Therefore, link->irq.IRQInfo2
is ignored.
* client->PendingEvents is gone (as of 2.6.11)
client->PendingEvents is no longer available.
* client->Attributes are gone (as of 2.6.11)
client->Attributes is unused, therefore it is removed from all
PCMCIA card drivers
* core functions no longer available (as of 2.6.11)
The following functions have been removed from the kernel source
because they are unused by all in-kernel drivers, and no external
driver was reported to rely on them:
pcmcia_get_first_region()
pcmcia_get_next_region()
pcmcia_modify_window()
pcmcia_set_event_mask()
pcmcia_get_first_window()
pcmcia_get_next_window()
* device list iteration upon module removal (as of 2.6.10)
It is no longer necessary to iterate on the driver's internal
client list and call the ->detach() function upon module removal.
* Resource management. (as of 2.6.8)
Although the PCMCIA subsystem will allocate resources for cards,
it no longer marks these resources busy. This means that driver
authors are now responsible for claiming your resources as per
other drivers in Linux. You should use request_region() to mark
your IO regions in-use, and request_mem_region() to mark your
memory regions in-use. The name argument should be a pointer to
your driver name. Eg, for pcnet_cs, name should point to the
string "pcnet_cs".

<H3>Devices</H3>
Video4Linux provides the following sets of device files. These live on the
character device formerly known as "/dev/bttv". /dev/bttv should be a
symlink to /dev/video0 for most people.
<P>
<TABLE>
<TR><TH>Device Name</TH><TH>Minor Range</TH><TH>Function</TH>
<TR><TD>/dev/video</TD><TD>0-63</TD><TD>Video Capture Interface</TD>

<TR><TD>/dev/vbi</TD><TD>224-239</TD><TD>Raw VBI Data (Intercast/teletext)</TD>
</TABLE>
<P>
Video4Linux programs open and scan the devices to find what they are looking
for. Capability queries define what each interface supports. The
described API is only defined for video capture cards. The relevant subset
applies to radio cards. Teletext interfaces talk the existing VTX API.
<P>
<H3>Capability Query Ioctl</H3>
The <B>VIDIOCGCAP</B> ioctl call is used to obtain the capability
information for a video device. The <b>struct video_capability</b> object
passed to the ioctl is completed and returned. It contains the following
information
<P>
<TABLE>
<TR><TD><b>name[32]</b><TD>Canonical name for this interface</TD>
<TR><TD><b>type</b><TD>Type of interface</TD>
<TR><TD><b>channels</b><TD>Number of radio/tv channels if appropriate</TD>

<TR><TD><b>minwidth</b><TD>Minimum capture width in pixels</TD>
<TR><TD><b>minheight</b><TD>Minimum capture height in pixels</TD>
</TABLE>
<P>
The type field lists the capability flags for the device. These are
as follows
<P>
<TABLE>
<TR><TH>Name</TH><TH>Description</TH>
<TR><TD><b>VID_TYPE_CAPTURE</b><TD>Can capture to memory</TD>
<TR><TD><b>VID_TYPE_TUNER</b><TD>Has a tuner of some form</TD>
<TR><TD><b>VID_TYPE_TELETEXT</b><TD>Has teletext capability</TD>

<TR><TD><b>VID_TYPE_SUBCAPTURE</b><TD>Capture can be of only part of the image</TD>
</TABLE>
<P>
The minimum and maximum sizes listed for a capture device do not imply all
that all height/width ratios or sizes within the range are possible. A
request to set a size will be honoured by the largest available capture
size whose capture is no large than the requested rectangle in either
direction. For example the quickcam has 3 fixed settings.
<P>
<H3>Frame Buffer</H3>
Capture cards that drop data directly onto the frame buffer must be told the
base address of the frame buffer, its size and organisation. This is a
privileged ioctl and one that eventually X itself should set.
<P>
The <b>VIDIOCSFBUF</b> ioctl sets the frame buffer parameters for a capture
card. If the card does not do direct writes to the frame buffer then this
ioctl will be unsupported. The <b>VIDIOCGFBUF</b> ioctl returns the
currently used parameters. The structure used in both cases is a
<b>struct video_buffer</b>.
<P>
<TABLE>
<TR><TD><b>void *base</b></TD><TD>Base physical address of the buffer</TD>
<TR><TD><b>int height</b></TD><TD>Height of the frame buffer</TD>

<TR><TD><b>int depth</b></TD><TD>Depth of the frame buffer</TD>
<TR><TD><b>int bytesperline</b></TD><TD>Number of bytes of memory between the start of two adjacent lines</TD>
</TABLE>
<P>
Note that these values reflect the physical layout of the frame buffer.
The visible area may be smaller. In fact under XFree86 this is commonly the
case. XFree86 DGA can provide the parameters required to set up this ioctl.
Setting the base address to NULL indicates there is no physical frame buffer
access.
<P>
<H3>Capture Windows</H3>
The capture area is described by a <b>struct video_window</b>. This defines
a capture area and the clipping information if relevant. The
<b>VIDIOCGWIN</b> ioctl recovers the current settings and the
<b>VIDIOCSWIN</b> sets new values. A successful call to <b>VIDIOCSWIN</b>
indicates that a suitable set of parameters have been chosen. They do not
indicate that exactly what was requested was granted. The program should
call <b>VIDIOCGWIN</b> to check if the nearest match was suitable. The
<b>struct video_window</b> contains the following fields.
<P>
<TABLE>
<TR><TD><b>x</b><TD>The X co-ordinate specified in X windows format.</TD>
<TR><TD><b>y</b><TD>The Y co-ordinate specified in X windows format.</TD>

<TR><TD><b>flags</b><TD>Additional capture flags.</TD>
<TR><TD><b>clips</b><TD>A list of clipping rectangles. <em>(Set only)</em></TD>
<TR><TD><b>clipcount</b><TD>The number of clipping rectangles. <em>(Set only)</em></TD>
</TABLE>
<P>
Clipping rectangles are passed as an array. Each clip consists of the following
fields available to the user.
<P>
<TABLE>
<TR><TD><b>x</b></TD><TD>X co-ordinate of rectangle to skip</TD>
<TR><TD><b>y</b></TD><TD>Y co-ordinate of rectangle to skip</TD>
<TR><TD><b>width</b></TD><TD>Width of rectangle to skip</TD>
<TR><TD><b>height</b></TD><TD>Height of rectangle to skip</TD>
</TABLE>
<P>
Merely setting the window does not enable capturing. Overlay capturing
(i.e. PCI-PCI transfer to the frame buffer of the video card)
is activated by passing the <b>VIDIOCCAPTURE</b> ioctl a value of 1, and
disabled by passing it a value of 0.
<P>
Some capture devices can capture a subfield of the image they actually see.
This is indicated when VIDEO_TYPE_SUBCAPTURE is defined.
The video_capture describes the time and special subfields to capture.
The video_capture structure contains the following fields.

<H3>Video Sources</H3>
Each video4linux video or audio device captures from one or more
source <b>channels</b>. Each channel can be queries with the
<b>VDIOCGCHAN</b> ioctl call. Before invoking this function the caller
must set the channel field to the channel that is being queried. On return
the <b>struct video_channel</b> is filled in with information about the
nature of the channel itself.
<P>
The <b>VIDIOCSCHAN</b> ioctl takes an integer argument and switches the
capture to this input. It is not defined whether parameters such as colour
settings or tuning are maintained across a channel switch. The caller should
maintain settings as desired for each channel. (This is reasonable as
different video inputs may have different properties).

The image properties of the picture can be queried with the <b>VIDIOCGPICT</b>
ioctl which fills in a <b>struct video_picture</b>. The <b>VIDIOCSPICT</b>
ioctl allows values to be changed. All values except for the palette type
are scaled between 0-65535.

the <b>VIDIOCGTUNER</b> ioctl. Fill in the tuner number in the structure
then pass the structure to the ioctl to have the data filled in. The

the VIDIOCSPICT and VIDIOCSWIN ioctls) and then to pass a suitable
size buffer and length to the function. Not all devices will support
read operations.
<P>
A second way to handle image capture is via the mmap interface if supported.
To use the mmap interface a user first sets the desired image size and depth
properties. Next the VIDIOCGMBUF ioctl is issued. This reports the size
of buffer to mmap and the offset within the buffer for each frame. The
number of frames supported is device dependent and may only be one.
<P>
The video_mbuf structure contains the following fields
<P>
<TABLE>
<TR><TD><b>size</b><TD>The number of bytes to map</TD>
<TR><TD><b>frames</b><TD>The number of frames</TD>
<TR><TD><b>offsets</b><TD>The offset of each frame</TD>
</TABLE>
<P>
Once the mmap has been made the VIDIOCMCAPTURE ioctl starts the
capture to a frame using the format and image size specified in the
video_mmap (which should match or be below the initial query size).
When the VIDIOCMCAPTURE ioctl returns the frame is <em>not</em>
captured yet, the driver just instructed the hardware to start the
capture. The application has to use the VIDIOCSYNC ioctl to wait
until the capture of a frame is finished. VIDIOCSYNC takes the frame
number you want to wait for as argument.
<p>
It is allowed to call VIDIOCMCAPTURE multiple times (with different
frame numbers in video_mmap->frame of course) and thus have multiple
outstanding capture requests. A simple way do to double-buffering
using this feature looks like this:
<pre>
/* setup everything */
VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0)
while (whatever) {
VIDIOCMCAPTURE(1)
VIDIOCSYNC(0)
/* process frame 0 while the hardware captures frame 1 */
VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0)
VIDIOCSYNC(1)
/* process frame 1 while the hardware captures frame 0 */
}
</pre>
Note that you are <em>not</em> limited to only two frames. The API
allows up to 32 frames, the VIDIOCGMBUF ioctl returns the number of
frames the driver granted. Thus it is possible to build deeper queues
to avoid loosing frames on load peaks.
<p>
While capturing to memory the driver will make a "best effort" attempt
to capture to screen as well if requested. This normally means all
frames that "miss" memory mapped capture will go to the display.
<P>
A final ioctl exists to allow a device to obtain related devices if a
driver has multiple components (for example video0 may not be associated
with vbi0 which would cause an intercast display program to make a bad
mistake). The VIDIOCGUNIT ioctl reports the unit numbers of the associated
devices if any exist. The video_unit structure has the following fields.
<P>
<TABLE>
<TR><TD><b>video</b><TD>Video capture device</TD>
<TR><TD><b>vbi</b><TD>VBI capture device</TD>
<TR><TD><b>radio</b><TD>Radio device</TD>
<TR><TD><b>audio</b><TD>Audio mixer</TD>
<TR><TD><b>teletext</b><TD>Teletext device</TD>
</TABLE>
<P>
<H3>RDS Datastreams</H3>
For radio devices that support it, it is possible to receive Radio Data
System (RDS) data by means of a read() on the device. The data is packed in
groups of three, as follows:
<TABLE>
<TR><TD>First Octet</TD><TD>Least Significant Byte of RDS Block</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>Second Octet</TD><TD>Most Significant Byte of RDS Block
<TR><TD>Third Octet</TD><TD>Bit 7:</TD><TD>Error bit. Indicates that
an uncorrectable error occurred during reception of this block.</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>&nbsp;</TD><TD>Bit 6:</TD><TD>Corrected bit. Indicates that
an error was corrected for this data block.</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>&nbsp;</TD><TD>Bits 5-3:</TD><TD>Received Offset. Indicates the
offset received by the sync system.</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>&nbsp;</TD><TD>Bits 2-0:</TD><TD>Offset Name. Indicates the
offset applied to this data.</TD></TR>
</TABLE>

Some details about 30/34/35:
- saa7130 - low-price chip, doesn't have mute, that is why all those
cards should have .mute field defined in their tuner structure.
- saa7134 - usual chip
- saa7133/35 - saa7135 is probably a marketing decision, since all those
chips identifies itself as 33 on pci.
