Platform Devices and Drivers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
See <linux/platform_device.h> for the driver model interface to the
platform bus: platform_device, and platform_driver. This pseudo-bus
is used to connect devices on busses with minimal infrastructure,
like those used to integrate peripherals on many system-on-chip
processors, or some "legacy" PC interconnects; as opposed to large
formally specified ones like PCI or USB.
Platform devices
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Platform devices are devices that typically appear as autonomous
entities in the system. This includes legacy port-based devices and
host bridges to peripheral buses.
host bridges to peripheral buses, and most controllers integrated
into system-on-chip platforms. What they usually have in common
is direct addressing from a CPU bus. Rarely, a platform_device will
be connected through a segment of some other kind of bus; but its
registers will still be directly addressible.
Platform devices are given a name, used in driver binding, and a
list of resources such as addresses and IRQs.
struct platform_device {
const char *name;
u32 id;
struct device dev;
u32 num_resources;
struct resource *resource;
};
Platform drivers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Drivers for platform devices are typically very simple and
unstructured. Either the device was present at a particular I/O port
and the driver was loaded, or it was not. There was no possibility
of hotplugging or alternative discovery besides probing at a specific
I/O address and expecting a specific response.
Platform drivers follow the standard driver model convention, where
discovery/enumeration is handled outside the drivers, and drivers
provide probe() and remove() methods. They support power management
and shutdown notifications using the standard conventions.
struct platform_driver {
int (*probe)(struct platform_device *);
int (*remove)(struct platform_device *);
void (*shutdown)(struct platform_device *);
int (*suspend)(struct platform_device *, pm_message_t state);
int (*suspend_late)(struct platform_device *, pm_message_t state);
int (*resume_early)(struct platform_device *);
int (*resume)(struct platform_device *);
struct device_driver driver;
};
Note that probe() should general verify that the specified device hardware
actually exists; sometimes platform setup code can't be sure. The probing
can use device resources, including clocks, and device platform_data.
Platform drivers register themselves the normal way:
int platform_driver_register(struct platform_driver *drv);
Or, in common situations where the device is known not to be hot-pluggable,
the probe() routine can live in an init section to reduce the driver's
runtime memory footprint:
int platform_driver_probe(struct platform_driver *drv,
int (*probe)(struct platform_device *))
Other Architectures, Modern Firmware, and new Platforms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These devices are not always at the legacy I/O ports. This is true on
other architectures and on some modern architectures. In most cases,
the drivers are modified to discover the devices at other well-known
ports for the given platform. However, the firmware in these systems
does usually know where exactly these devices reside, and in some
cases, it's the only way of discovering them.
Device Enumeration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As a rule, platform specific (and often board-specific) setup code wil
register platform devices:
int platform_device_register(struct platform_device *pdev);
int platform_add_devices(struct platform_device **pdevs, int ndev);
The general rule is to register only those devices that actually exist,
but in some cases extra devices might be registered. For example, a kernel
might be configured to work with an external network adapter that might not
be populated on all boards, or likewise to work with an integrated controller
that some boards might not hook up to any peripherals.
In some cases, boot firmware will export tables describing the devices
that are populated on a given board. Without such tables, often the
only way for system setup code to set up the correct devices is to build
a kernel for a specific target board. Such board-specific kernels are
common with embedded and custom systems development.
In many cases, the memory and IRQ resources associated with the platform
device are not enough to let the device's driver work. Board setup code
will often provide additional information using the device's platform_data
field to hold additional information.
Embedded systems frequently need one or more clocks for platform devices,
which are normally kept off until they're actively needed (to save power).
System setup also associates those clocks with the device, so that that
calls to clk_get(&pdev->dev, clock_name) return them as needed.
The Platform Bus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A platform bus has been created to deal with these issues. First and
foremost, it groups all the legacy devices under a common bus, and
gives them a common parent if they don't already have one.
Device Naming and Driver Binding
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The platform_device.dev.bus_id is the canonical name for the devices.
It's built from two components:
But, besides the organizational benefits, the platform bus can also
accommodate firmware-based enumeration.
* platform_device.name ... which is also used to for driver matching.
* platform_device.id ... the device instance number, or else "-1"
to indicate there's only one.
Device Discovery
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The platform bus has no concept of probing for devices. Devices
discovery is left up to either the legacy drivers or the
firmware. These entities are expected to notify the platform of
devices that it discovers via the bus's add() callback:
These are catenated, so name/id "serial"/0 indicates bus_id "serial.0", and
"serial/3" indicates bus_id "serial.3"; both would use the platform_driver
named "serial". While "my_rtc"/-1 would be bus_id "my_rtc" (no instance id)
and use the platform_driver called "my_rtc".
platform_bus.add(parent,bus_id).
Driver binding is performed automatically by the driver core, invoking
driver probe() after finding a match between device and driver. If the
probe() succeeds, the driver and device are bound as usual. There are
three different ways to find such a match:
- Whenever a device is registered, the drivers for that bus are
checked for matches. Platform devices should be registered very
early during system boot.
Bus IDs
~~~~~~~
Bus IDs are the canonical names for the devices. There is no globally
standard addressing mechanism for legacy devices. In the IA-32 world,
we have Pnp IDs to use, as well as the legacy I/O ports. However,
neither tell what the device really is or have any meaning on other
platforms.
- When a driver is registered using platform_driver_register(), all
unbound devices on that bus are checked for matches. Drivers
usually register later during booting, or by module loading.
Since both PnP IDs and the legacy I/O ports (and other standard I/O
ports for specific devices) have a 1:1 mapping, we map the
platform-specific name or identifier to a generic name (at least
within the scope of the kernel).
For example, a serial driver might find a device at I/O 0x3f8. The
ACPI firmware might also discover a device with PnP ID (_HID)
PNP0501. Both correspond to the same device and should be mapped to the
canonical name 'serial'.
The bus_id field should be a concatenation of the canonical name and
the instance of that type of device. For example, the device at I/O
port 0x3f8 should have a bus_id of "serial0". This places the
responsibility of enumerating devices of a particular type up to the
discovery mechanism. But, they are the entity that should know best
(as opposed to the platform bus driver).
Drivers
~~~~~~~
Drivers for platform devices should have a name that is the same as
the canonical name of the devices they support. This allows the
platform bus driver to do simple matching with the basic data
structures to determine if a driver supports a certain device.
For example, a legacy serial driver should have a name of 'serial' and
register itself with the platform bus.
Driver Binding
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Legacy drivers assume they are bound to the device once they start up
and probe an I/O port. Divorcing them from this will be a difficult
process. However, that shouldn't prevent us from implementing
firmware-based enumeration.
The firmware should notify the platform bus about devices before the
legacy drivers have had a chance to load. Once the drivers are loaded,
they driver model core will attempt to bind the driver to any
previously-discovered devices. Once that has happened, it will be free
to discover any other devices it pleases.
- Registering a driver using platform_driver_probe() works just like
using platform_driver_register(), except that the the driver won't
be probed later if another device registers. (Which is OK, since
this interface is only for use with non-hotpluggable devices.)

which contains further information about ftape. Please cross check
this WWW address against the address given (if any) in the MAINTAINERS
file located in the top level directory of the Linux kernel source
tree.
NOTE: This is an unmaintained set of drivers, and it is not guaranteed to work.

A minus 1. Ftape documentation
==============================
Unluckily, the ftape-HOWTO is out of date. This really needs to be
changed. Up to date documentation as well as recent development
versions of ftape and useful links to related topics can be found at
the ftape home page at
http://ftape.dot-heine.de/
*******************************************************************************
A. Changes
==========
1. Goal
~~~~
The goal of all that incompatibilities was to give ftape an interface
that resembles the interface provided by SCSI tape drives as close
as possible. Thus any Unix backup program that is known to work
with SCSI tape drives should also work.
The concept of a fixed block size for read/write transfers is
rather unrelated to this SCSI tape compatibility at the file system
interface level. It developed out of a feature of zftape, a
block wise user transparent on-the-fly compression. That compression
support will not be dropped in future releases for compatibility
reasons with previous releases of zftape.
2. I/O Block Size
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The block size defaults to 10k which is the default block size of
GNU tar.
The block size can be tuned either during kernel configuration or
at runtime with the MTIOCTOP ioctl using the MTSETBLK operation
(i.e. do "mt -f /dev/qft0" setblk #BLKSZ). A block size of 0
switches to variable block size mode i.e. "mt setblk 0" switches
off the block size restriction. However, this disables zftape's
built in on-the-fly compression which doesn't work with variable
block size mode.
The BLKSZ parameter must be given as a byte count and must be a
multiple of 32k or 0, i.e. use "mt setblk 32768" to switch to a
block size of 32k.
The typical symptom of a block size mismatch is an "invalid
argument" error message.
3. Write Access when not at EOD (End Of Data) or BOT (Begin Of Tape)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
zftape (the file system interface of ftape-3.x) denies write access
to the tape cartridge when it isn't positioned either at BOT or
EOD.
4. Formatting
~~~~~~~~~~
ftape DOES support formatting of floppy tape cartridges. You need the
`ftformat' program that is shipped with the modules version of ftape.
Please get the latest version of ftape from
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/kernel/tapes
or from the ftape home page at
http://ftape.dot-heine.de/
`ftformat' is contained in the `./contrib/' subdirectory of that
separate ftape package.
5. Interchanging cartridges with other operating systems
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The internal emulation of Unix tape device file marks has changed
completely. ftape now uses the volume table segment as specified
by the QIC-40/80/3010/3020/113 standards to emulate file marks. As
a consequence there is limited support to interchange cartridges
with other operating systems.
To be more precise: ftape will detect volumes written by other OS's
programs and other OS's programs will detect volumes written by
ftape.
However, it isn't possible to extract the data dumped to the tape
by some MSDOS program with ftape. This exceeds the scope of a
kernel device driver. If you need such functionality, then go ahead
and write a user space utility that is able to do that. ftape already
provides all kernel level support necessary to do that.
*******************************************************************************
B. Debugging Output
================
1. Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ftape driver can be very noisy in that is can print lots of
debugging messages to the kernel log files and the system console.
While this is useful for debugging it might be annoying during
normal use and enlarges the size of the driver by several kilobytes.
To reduce the size of the driver you can trim the maximal amount of
debugging information available during kernel configuration. Please
refer to the kernel configuration script and its on-line help
functionality.
The amount of debugging output maps to the "tracing" boot time
option and the "ft_tracing" modules option as follows:
0 bugs
1 + errors (with call-stack dump)
2 + warnings
3 + information
4 + more information
5 + program flow
6 + fdc/dma info
7 + data flow
8 + everything else
2. Tuning the debugging output
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To reduce the amount of debugging output printed to the system
console you can
i) trim the debugging output at run-time with
mt -f /dev/nqft0 setdensity #DBGLVL
where "#DBGLVL" is a number between 0 and 9
ii) trim the debugging output at module load time with
modprobe ftape ft_tracing=#DBGLVL
Of course, this applies only if you have configured ftape to be
compiled as a module.
iii) trim the debugging output during system boot time. Add the
following to the kernel command line:
ftape=#DBGLVL,tracing
Please refer also to the next section if you don't know how to
set boot time parameters.
*******************************************************************************
C. Boot and load time configuration
================================
1. Setting boot time parameters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Assuming that you use lilo, the LI)nux LO)ader, boot time kernel
parameters can be set by adding a line
append some_kernel_boot_time_parameter
to `/etc/lilo.conf' or at real boot time by typing in the options
at the prompt provided by LILO. I can't give you advice on how to
specify those parameters with other loaders as I don't use them.
For ftape, each "some_kernel_boot_time_parameter" looks like
"ftape=value,option". As an example, the debugging output can be
increased with
ftape=4,tracing
NOTE: the value precedes the option name.
2. Module load time parameters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Module parameters can be specified either directly when invoking
the program 'modprobe' at the shell prompt:
modprobe ftape ft_tracing=4
or by editing the file `/etc/modprobe.conf' in which case they take
effect each time when the module is loaded with `modprobe' (please
refer to the respective manual pages). Thus, you should add a line
options ftape ft_tracing=4
to `/etc/modprobe.conf` if you intend to increase the debugging
output of the driver.
3. Ftape boot- and load time options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i. Controlling the amount of debugging output
DBGLVL has to be replaced by a number between 0 and 8.
module | kernel command line
-----------------------|----------------------
ft_tracing=DBGLVL | ftape=DBGLVL,tracing
ii. Hardware setup
BASE is the base address of your floppy disk controller,
IRQ and DMA give its interrupt and DMA channel, respectively.
BOOL is an integer, "0" means "no"; any other value means
"yes". You don't need to specify anything if connecting your tape
drive to the standard floppy disk controller. All of these
values have reasonable defaults. The defaults can be modified
during kernel configuration, i.e. while running "make config",
"make menuconfig" or "make xconfig" in the top level directory
of the Linux kernel source tree. Please refer also to the on
line documentation provided during that kernel configuration
process.
ft_probe_fc10 is set to a non-zero value if you wish for ftape to
probe for a Colorado FC-10 or FC-20 controller.
ft_mach2 is set to a non-zero value if you wish for ftape to probe
for a Mountain MACH-2 controller.
module | kernel command line
-----------------------|----------------------
ft_fdc_base=BASE | ftape=BASE,ioport
ft_fdc_irq=IRQ | ftape=IRQ,irq
ft_fdc_dma=DMA | ftape=DMA,dma
ft_probe_fc10=BOOL | ftape=BOOL,fc10
ft_mach2=BOOL | ftape=BOOL,mach2
ft_fdc_threshold=THR | ftape=THR,threshold
ft_fdc_rate_limit=RATE | ftape=RATE,datarate
4. Example kernel parameter setting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To configure ftape to probe for a Colorado FC-10/FC-20 controller
and to increase the amount of debugging output a little bit, add
the following line to `/etc/lilo.conf':
append ftape=1,fc10 ftape=4,tracing
5. Example module parameter setting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To do the same, but with ftape compiled as a loadable kernel
module, add the following line to `/etc/modprobe.conf':
options ftape ft_probe_fc10=1 ft_tracing=4

DCCP_SOCKOPT_SEND_CSCOV and DCCP_SOCKOPT_RECV_CSCOV are used for setting the
partial checksum coverage (RFC 4340, sec. 9.2). The default is that checksums
always cover the entire packet and that only fully covered application data is
accepted by the receiver. Hence, when using this feature on the sender, it must
be enabled at the receiver, too with suitable choice of CsCov.
DCCP_SOCKOPT_SEND_CSCOV sets the sender checksum coverage. Values in the
range 0..15 are acceptable. The default setting is 0 (full coverage),
values between 1..15 indicate partial coverage.
DCCP_SOCKOPT_SEND_CSCOV is for the receiver and has a different meaning: it
sets a threshold, where again values 0..15 are acceptable. The default
of 0 means that all packets with a partial coverage will be discarded.
Values in the range 1..15 indicate that packets with minimally such a
coverage value are also acceptable. The higher the number, the more

Requests minus one) before timing out. In addition, it also governs
the behaviour of the other, passive side: this variable also sets
the number of times DCCP repeats sending a Response when the initial

is received after the initial Request). This value should be greater

side considers its connecting peer dead. Analogue of tcp_retries1.

=====
SELinux does not yet have support for DCCP. You will need to turn it off or
else you will get EACCES.

the checksum covers the psuedo-header as per TCP and UDP. It should be
relatively trivial to add Linux NAT support for DCCP.

because the checksum covers the psuedo-header as per TCP and UDP. Linux NAT
support for DCCP has been added.

InterruptThrottleRate
---------------------
(not supported on Intel 82542, 82543 or 82544-based adapters)
Valid Range: 100-100000 (0=off, 1=dynamic)
Default Value: 8000

Valid Range: 0,1,3,100-100000 (0=off, 1=dynamic, 3=dynamic conservative)
Default Value: 3
This value represents the maximum number of interrupts per second the
controller generates. InterruptThrottleRate is another setting used in
interrupt moderation. Dynamic mode uses a heuristic algorithm to adjust
InterruptThrottleRate based on the current traffic load.
The driver can limit the amount of interrupts per second that the adapter
will generate for incoming packets. It does this by writing a value to the
adapter that is based on the maximum amount of interrupts that the adapter
will generate per second.
Setting InterruptThrottleRate to a value greater or equal to 100
will program the adapter to send out a maximum of that many interrupts
per second, even if more packets have come in. This reduces interrupt
load on the system and can lower CPU utilization under heavy load,
but will increase latency as packets are not processed as quickly.
The default behaviour of the driver previously assumed a static
InterruptThrottleRate value of 8000, providing a good fallback value for
all traffic types,but lacking in small packet performance and latency.
The hardware can handle many more small packets per second however, and
for this reason an adaptive interrupt moderation algorithm was implemented.
Since 7.3.x, the driver has two adaptive modes (setting 1 or 3) in which
it dynamically adjusts the InterruptThrottleRate value based on the traffic
that it receives. After determining the type of incoming traffic in the last
timeframe, it will adjust the InterruptThrottleRate to an appropriate value
for that traffic.
The algorithm classifies the incoming traffic every interval into
classes. Once the class is determined, the InterruptThrottleRate value is
adjusted to suit that traffic type the best. There are three classes defined:
"Bulk traffic", for large amounts of packets of normal size; "Low latency",
for small amounts of traffic and/or a significant percentage of small
packets; and "Lowest latency", for almost completely small packets or
minimal traffic.
In dynamic conservative mode, the InterruptThrottleRate value is set to 4000
for traffic that falls in class "Bulk traffic". If traffic falls in the "Low
latency" or "Lowest latency" class, the InterruptThrottleRate is increased
stepwise to 20000. This default mode is suitable for most applications.
For situations where low latency is vital such as cluster or
grid computing, the algorithm can reduce latency even more when
InterruptThrottleRate is set to mode 1. In this mode, which operates
the same as mode 3, the InterruptThrottleRate will be increased stepwise to
70000 for traffic in class "Lowest latency".
Setting InterruptThrottleRate to 0 turns off any interrupt moderation
and may improve small packet latency, but is generally not suitable
for bulk throughput traffic.
NOTE: InterruptThrottleRate takes precedence over the TxAbsIntDelay and
RxAbsIntDelay parameters. In other words, minimizing the receive
RxAbsIntDelay parameters. In other words, minimizing the receive
and/or transmit absolute delays does not force the controller to
generate more interrupts than what the Interrupt Throttle Rate
allows.

NOTE: When e1000 is loaded with default settings and multiple adapters
are in use simultaneously, the CPU utilization may increase non-
linearly. In order to limit the CPU utilization without impacting
linearly. In order to limit the CPU utilization without impacting
the overall throughput, we recommend that you load the driver as
follows:
insmod e1000.o InterruptThrottleRate=3000,3000,3000
modprobe e1000 InterruptThrottleRate=3000,3000,3000

If you have an Intel PCI Express adapter running at 10mbps or 100mbps, half-

===========================================================================
The UDP-Lite protocol (RFC 3828)
===========================================================================
UDP-Lite is a Standards-Track IETF transport protocol whose characteristic
is a variable-length checksum. This has advantages for transport of multimedia
(video, VoIP) over wireless networks, as partly damaged packets can still be
fed into the codec instead of being discarded due to a failed checksum test.
This file briefly describes the existing kernel support and the socket API.
For in-depth information, you can consult:
o The UDP-Lite Homepage: http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/udp-lite/
Fom here you can also download some example application source code.
o The UDP-Lite HOWTO on
http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/udp-lite/files/UDP-Lite-HOWTO.txt
o The Wireshark UDP-Lite WiKi (with capture files):
http://wiki.wireshark.org/Lightweight_User_Datagram_Protocol
o The Protocol Spec, RFC 3828, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3828.txt
I) APPLICATIONS
Several applications have been ported successfully to UDP-Lite. Ethereal
(now called wireshark) has UDP-Litev4/v6 support by default. The tarball on
http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/udp-lite/files/udplite_linux.tar.gz
has source code for several v4/v6 client-server and network testing examples.
Porting applications to UDP-Lite is straightforward: only socket level and
IPPROTO need to be changed; senders additionally set the checksum coverage
length (default = header length = 8). Details are in the next section.
II) PROGRAMMING API
UDP-Lite provides a connectionless, unreliable datagram service and hence
uses the same socket type as UDP. In fact, porting from UDP to UDP-Lite is
very easy: simply add `IPPROTO_UDPLITE' as the last argument of the socket(2)
call so that the statement looks like:
s = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDPLITE);
or, respectively,
s = socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDPLITE);
With just the above change you are able to run UDP-Lite services or connect
to UDP-Lite servers. The kernel will assume that you are not interested in
using partial checksum coverage and so emulate UDP mode (full coverage).
To make use of the partial checksum coverage facilities requires setting a
single socket option, which takes an integer specifying the coverage length:
* Sender checksum coverage: UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV
For example,
int val = 20;
setsockopt(s, SOL_UDPLITE, UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV, &val, sizeof(int));
sets the checksum coverage length to 20 bytes (12b data + 8b header).
Of each packet only the first 20 bytes (plus the pseudo-header) will be
checksummed. This is useful for RTP applications which have a 12-byte
base header.
* Receiver checksum coverage: UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV
This option is the receiver-side analogue. It is truly optional, i.e. not
required to enable traffic with partial checksum coverage. Its function is
that of a traffic filter: when enabled, it instructs the kernel to drop
all packets which have a coverage _less_ than this value. For example, if
RTP and UDP headers are to be protected, a receiver can enforce that only
packets with a minimum coverage of 20 are admitted:
int min = 20;
setsockopt(s, SOL_UDPLITE, UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV, &min, sizeof(int));
The calls to getsockopt(2) are analogous. Being an extension and not a stand-
alone protocol, all socket options known from UDP can be used in exactly the
same manner as before, e.g. UDP_CORK or UDP_ENCAP.
A detailed discussion of UDP-Lite checksum coverage options is in section IV.
III) HEADER FILES
The socket API requires support through header files in /usr/include:
* /usr/include/netinet/in.h
to define IPPROTO_UDPLITE
* /usr/include/netinet/udplite.h
for UDP-Lite header fields and protocol constants
For testing purposes, the following can serve as a `mini' header file:
#define IPPROTO_UDPLITE 136
#define SOL_UDPLITE 136
#define UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV 10
#define UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV 11
Ready-made header files for various distros are in the UDP-Lite tarball.
IV) KERNEL BEHAVIOUR WITH REGARD TO THE VARIOUS SOCKET OPTIONS
To enable debugging messages, the log level need to be set to 8, as most
messages use the KERN_DEBUG level (7).
1) Sender Socket Options
If the sender specifies a value of 0 as coverage length, the module
assumes full coverage, transmits a packet with coverage length of 0
and according checksum. If the sender specifies a coverage < 8 and
different from 0, the kernel assumes 8 as default value. Finally,
if the specified coverage length exceeds the packet length, the packet
length is used instead as coverage length.
2) Receiver Socket Options
The receiver specifies the minimum value of the coverage length it
is willing to accept. A value of 0 here indicates that the receiver
always wants the whole of the packet covered. In this case, all
partially covered packets are dropped and an error is logged.
It is not possible to specify illegal values (<0 and <8); in these
cases the default of 8 is assumed.
All packets arriving with a coverage value less than the specified
threshold are discarded, these events are also logged.
3) Disabling the Checksum Computation
On both sender and receiver, checksumming will always be performed
and can not be disabled using SO_NO_CHECK. Thus
setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_NO_CHECK, ... );
will always will be ignored, while the value of
getsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_NO_CHECK, &value, ...);
is meaningless (as in TCP). Packets with a zero checksum field are
illegal (cf. RFC 3828, sec. 3.1) will be silently discarded.
4) Fragmentation
The checksum computation respects both buffersize and MTU. The size
of UDP-Lite packets is determined by the size of the send buffer. The
minimum size of the send buffer is 2048 (defined as SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF
in include/net/sock.h), the default value is configurable as
net.core.wmem_default or via setting the SO_SNDBUF socket(7)
option. The maximum upper bound for the send buffer is determined
by net.core.wmem_max.
Given a payload size larger than the send buffer size, UDP-Lite will
split the payload into several individual packets, filling up the
send buffer size in each case.
The precise value also depends on the interface MTU. The interface MTU,
in turn, may trigger IP fragmentation. In this case, the generated
UDP-Lite packet is split into several IP packets, of which only the
first one contains the L4 header.
The send buffer size has implications on the checksum coverage length.
Consider the following example:
Payload: 1536 bytes Send Buffer: 1024 bytes
MTU: 1500 bytes Coverage Length: 856 bytes
UDP-Lite will ship the 1536 bytes in two separate packets:
Packet 1: 1024 payload + 8 byte header + 20 byte IP header = 1052 bytes
Packet 2: 512 payload + 8 byte header + 20 byte IP header = 540 bytes
The coverage packet covers the UDP-Lite header and 848 bytes of the
payload in the first packet, the second packet is fully covered. Note
that for the second packet, the coverage length exceeds the packet
length. The kernel always re-adjusts the coverage length to the packet
length in such cases.
As an example of what happens when one UDP-Lite packet is split into
several tiny fragments, consider the following example.
Payload: 1024 bytes Send buffer size: 1024 bytes
MTU: 300 bytes Coverage length: 575 bytes
+-+-----------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
|8| 272 | 280 | 280 | 280 |
+-+-----------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
280 560 840 1032
^
*****checksum coverage*************
The UDP-Lite module generates one 1032 byte packet (1024 + 8 byte
header). According to the interface MTU, these are split into 4 IP
packets (280 byte IP payload + 20 byte IP header). The kernel module
sums the contents of the entire first two packets, plus 15 bytes of
the last packet before releasing the fragments to the IP module.
To see the analogous case for IPv6 fragmentation, consider a link
MTU of 1280 bytes and a write buffer of 3356 bytes. If the checksum
coverage is less than 1232 bytes (MTU minus IPv6/fragment header
lengths), only the first fragment needs to be considered. When using
larger checksum coverage lengths, each eligible fragment needs to be
checksummed. Suppose we have a checksum coverage of 3062. The buffer
of 3356 bytes will be split into the following fragments:
Fragment 1: 1280 bytes carrying 1232 bytes of UDP-Lite data
Fragment 2: 1280 bytes carrying 1232 bytes of UDP-Lite data
Fragment 3: 948 bytes carrying 900 bytes of UDP-Lite data
The first two fragments have to be checksummed in full, of the last
fragment only 598 (= 3062 - 2*1232) bytes are checksummed.
While it is important that such cases are dealt with correctly, they
are (annoyingly) rare: UDP-Lite is designed for optimising multimedia
performance over wireless (or generally noisy) links and thus smaller
coverage lenghts are likely to be expected.
V) UDP-LITE RUNTIME STATISTICS AND THEIR MEANING
Exceptional and error conditions are logged to syslog at the KERN_DEBUG
level. Live statistics about UDP-Lite are available in /proc/net/snmp
and can (with newer versions of netstat) be viewed using
netstat -svu
This displays UDP-Lite statistics variables, whose meaning is as follows.
InDatagrams: Total number of received datagrams.
NoPorts: Number of packets received to an unknown port.
These cases are counted separately (not as InErrors).
InErrors: Number of erroneous UDP-Lite packets. Errors include:
* internal socket queue receive errors
* packet too short (less than 8 bytes or stated
coverage length exceeds received length)
* xfrm4_policy_check() returned with error
* application has specified larger min. coverage
length than that of incoming packet
* checksum coverage violated
* bad checksum
OutDatagrams: Total number of sent datagrams.
These statistics derive from the UDP MIB (RFC 2013).
VI) IPTABLES
There is packet match support for UDP-Lite as well as support for the LOG target.
If you copy and paste the following line into /etc/protcols,
udplite 136 UDP-Lite # UDP-Lite [RFC 3828]
then
iptables -A INPUT -p udplite -j LOG
will produce logging output to syslog. Dropping and rejecting packets also works.

Real Time Clock Driver for Linux
================================
Real Time Clock (RTC) Drivers for Linux
=======================================
When Linux developers talk about a "Real Time Clock", they usually mean
something that tracks wall clock time and is battery backed so that it
works even with system power off. Such clocks will normally not track
the local time zone or daylight savings time -- unless they dual boot
with MS-Windows -- but will instead be set to Coordinated Universal Time
(UTC, formerly "Greenwich Mean Time").
The newest non-PC hardware tends to just count seconds, like the time(2)
system call reports, but RTCs also very commonly represent time using
the Gregorian calendar and 24 hour time, as reported by gmtime(3).
Linux has two largely-compatible userspace RTC API families you may
need to know about:
* /dev/rtc ... is the RTC provided by PC compatible systems,
so it's not very portable to non-x86 systems.
* /dev/rtc0, /dev/rtc1 ... are part of a framework that's
supported by a wide variety of RTC chips on all systems.
Programmers need to understand that the PC/AT functionality is not
always available, and some systems can do much more. That is, the
RTCs use the same API to make requests in both RTC frameworks (using
different filenames of course), but the hardware may not offer the
same functionality. For example, not every RTC is hooked up to an
IRQ, so they can't all issue alarms; and where standard PC RTCs can
only issue an alarm up to 24 hours in the future, other hardware may
be able to schedule one any time in the upcoming century.
Old PC/AT-Compatible driver: /dev/rtc
--------------------------------------
All PCs (even Alpha machines) have a Real Time Clock built into them.
Usually they are built into the chipset of the computer, but some may
actually have a Motorola MC146818 (or clone) on the board. This is the
clock that keeps the date and time while your computer is turned off.
ACPI has standardized that MC146818 functionality, and extended it in
a few ways (enabling longer alarm periods, and wake-from-hibernate).
That functionality is NOT exposed in the old driver.
However it can also be used to generate signals from a slow 2Hz to a
relatively fast 8192Hz, in increments of powers of two. These signals
are reported by interrupt number 8. (Oh! So *that* is what IRQ 8 is
@ -63,223 +100,331 @@ Rather than write 50 pages describing the ioctl() and so on, it is

that will be using this driver. See the code at the end of this document.
(The original /dev/rtc driver was written by Paul Gortmaker.)
New portable "RTC Class" drivers: /dev/rtcN
--------------------------------------------
Because Linux supports many non-ACPI and non-PC platforms, some of which
have more than one RTC style clock, it needed a more portable solution
than expecting a single battery-backed MC146818 clone on every system.
Accordingly, a new "RTC Class" framework has been defined. It offers
three different userspace interfaces:
* /dev/rtcN ... much the same as the older /dev/rtc interface
* /sys/class/rtc/rtcN ... sysfs attributes support readonly
access to some RTC attributes.
* /proc/driver/rtc ... the first RTC (rtc0) may expose itself
using a procfs interface. More information is (currently) shown
here than through sysfs.
The RTC Class framework supports a wide variety of RTCs, ranging from those
integrated into embeddable system-on-chip (SOC) processors to discrete chips
using I2C, SPI, or some other bus to communicate with the host CPU. There's
even support for PC-style RTCs ... including the features exposed on newer PCs
through ACPI.
The new framework also removes the "one RTC per system" restriction. For
example, maybe the low-power battery-backed RTC is a discrete I2C chip, but
a high functionality RTC is integrated into the SOC. That system might read
the system clock from the discrete RTC, but use the integrated one for all
other tasks, because of its greater functionality.
The ioctl() calls supported by /dev/rtc are also supported by the RTC class
framework. However, because the chips and systems are not standardized,
some PC/AT functionality might not be provided. And in the same way, some
newer features -- including those enabled by ACPI -- are exposed by the
RTC class framework, but can't be supported by the older driver.
* RTC_RD_TIME, RTC_SET_TIME ... every RTC supports at least reading
time, returning the result as a Gregorian calendar date and 24 hour
wall clock time. To be most useful, this time may also be updated.
* RTC_AIE_ON, RTC_AIE_OFF, RTC_ALM_SET, RTC_ALM_READ ... when the RTC
is connected to an IRQ line, it can often issue an alarm IRQ up to
24 hours in the future.
* RTC_WKALM_SET, RTC_WKALM_READ ... RTCs that can issue alarms beyond
the next 24 hours use a slightly more powerful API, which supports
setting the longer alarm time and enabling its IRQ using a single
request (using the same model as EFI firmware).
* RTC_UIE_ON, RTC_UIE_OFF ... if the RTC offers IRQs, it probably
also offers update IRQs whenever the "seconds" counter changes.
If needed, the RTC framework can emulate this mechanism.
* RTC_PIE_ON, RTC_PIE_OFF, RTC_IRQP_SET, RTC_IRQP_READ ... another
feature often accessible with an IRQ line is a periodic IRQ, issued
at settable frequencies (usually 2^N Hz).
In many cases, the RTC alarm can be a system wake event, used to force
Linux out of a low power sleep state (or hibernation) back to a fully
operational state. For example, a system could enter a deep power saving
state until it's time to execute some scheduled tasks.
