Coccinelle is often used +to aid refactoring and collateral evolution of source code, but it can also help +to avoid certain bugs that occur in common code patterns. The types of tests +available include API tests, tests for correct usage of kernel iterators, checks +for the soundness of free operations, analysis of locking behavior, and further +tests known to help keep consistent kernel usage.

因为每次frontswap失败都是在交换页写到磁盘之前，系统很可能是 I/O 绑定 +的，无论如何使用一小部分的 CPU 都是不相关的。 + +至于空间，如果CONFIG_FRONTSWAP被启用，并且有一个frontswap的backend注册，那么 +每个交换设备的每个交换页都会被分配一个比特。这是在内核已经为每个交换设备的每个交换 +页分配的8位（在2.6.34之前是16位）上增加的。(Hugh Dickins观察到，frontswap可能 +会偷取现有的8个比特，但是我们以后再来担心这个小的优化问题)。对于标准的4K页面大小的 +非常大的交换盘（这很罕见），这是每32GB交换盘1MB开销。 + +当交换页存储在transcendent memory中而不是写到磁盘上时，有一个副作用，即这可能会 +产生更多的内存压力，有可能超过其他的优点。一个backend，比如zcache，必须实现策略 +来仔细（但动态地）管理内存限制，以确保这种情况不会发生。 + +* 好吧，那就用内核骇客能理解的术语来快速概述一下这个frontswap补丁的作用如何？ + +我们假设在内核初始化过程中，一个frontswap 的 “backend” 已经注册了；这个注册表 +明这个frontswap 的 “backend” 可以访问一些不被内核直接访问的“内存”。它到底提 +供了多少内存是完全动态和随机的。 + +每当一个交换设备被交换时，就会调用frontswap_init()，把交换设备的编号（又称“类 +型”）作为一个参数传给它。这就通知了frontswap，以期待 “store” 与该号码相关的交 +换页的尝试。 + +每当交换子系统准备将一个页面写入交换设备时（参见swap_writepage()），就会调用 +frontswap_store。Frontswap与frontswap backend协商，如果backend说它没有空 +间，frontswap_store返回-1，内核就会照常把页换到交换设备上。注意，来自frontswap +backend的响应对内核来说是不可预测的；它可能选择从不接受一个页面，可能接受每九个 +页面，也可能接受每一个页面。但是如果backend确实接受了一个页面，那么这个页面的数 +据已经被复制并与类型和偏移量相关联了，而且backend保证了数据的持久性。在这种情况 +下，frontswap在交换设备的“frontswap_map” 中设置了一个位，对应于交换设备上的 +页面偏移量，否则它就会将数据写入该设备。 + +当交换子系统需要交换一个页面时（swap_readpage()），它首先调用frontswap_load()， +检查frontswap_map，看这个页面是否早先被frontswap backend接受。如果是，该页 +的数据就会从frontswap后端填充，换入就完成了。如果不是，正常的交换代码将被执行， +以便从真正的交换设备上获得这一页的数据。 + +所以每次frontswap backend接受一个页面时，交换设备的读取和（可能）交换设备的写 +入都被 “frontswap backend store” 和（可能）“frontswap backend loads” +所取代，这可能会快得多。 + +* frontswap不能被配置为一个 “特殊的” 交换设备，它的优先级要高于任何真正的交换 + 设备（例如像zswap，或者可能是swap-over-nbd/NFS）？ + +首先，现有的交换子系统不允许有任何种类的交换层次结构。也许它可以被重写以适应层次 +结构，但这将需要相当大的改变。即使它被重写，现有的交换子系统也使用了块I/O层，它 +假定交换设备是固定大小的，其中的任何页面都是可线性寻址的。Frontswap几乎没有触 +及现有的交换子系统，而是围绕着块I/O子系统的限制，提供了大量的灵活性和动态性。 + +例如，frontswap backend对任何交换页的接受是完全不可预测的。这对frontswap backend +的定义至关重要，因为它赋予了backend完全动态的决定权。在zcache中，人们无法预 +先知道一个页面的可压缩性如何。可压缩性 “差” 的页面会被拒绝，而 “差” 本身也可 +以根据当前的内存限制动态地定义。 + +此外，frontswap是完全同步的，而真正的交换设备，根据定义，是异步的，并且使用 +块I/O。块I/O层不仅是不必要的，而且可能进行 “优化”，这对面向RAM的设备来说是 +不合适的，包括将一些页面的写入延迟相当长的时间。同步是必须的，以确保后端的动 +态性，并避免棘手的竞争条件，这将不必要地大大增加frontswap和/或块I/O子系统的 +复杂性。也就是说，只有最初的 “store” 和 “load” 操作是需要同步的。一个独立 +的异步线程可以自由地操作由frontswap存储的页面。例如，RAMster中的 “remotification” +线程使用标准的异步内核套接字，将压缩的frontswap页面移动到远程机器。同样， +KVM的客户方实现可以进行客户内压缩，并使用 “batched” hypercalls。 + +在虚拟化环境中，动态性允许管理程序（或主机操作系统）做“intelligent overcommit”。 +例如，它可以选择只接受页面，直到主机交换可能即将发生，然后强迫客户机做他们 +自己的交换。 + +transcendent memory规格的frontswap有一个坏处。因为任何 “store” 都可 +能失败，所以必须在一个真正的交换设备上有一个真正的插槽来交换页面。因此， +frontswap必须作为每个交换设备的 “影子” 来实现，它有可能容纳交换设备可能 +容纳的每一个页面，也有可能根本不容纳任何页面。这意味着frontswap不能包含比 +swap设备总数更多的页面。例如，如果在某些安装上没有配置交换设备，frontswap +就没有用。无交换设备的便携式设备仍然可以使用frontswap，但是这种设备的 +backend必须配置某种 “ghost” 交换设备，并确保它永远不会被使用。 + + +* 为什么会有这种关于 “重复存储” 的奇怪定义？如果一个页面以前被成功地存储过， + 难道它不能总是被成功地覆盖吗？ + +几乎总是可以的，不，有时不能。考虑一个例子，数据被压缩了，原来的4K页面被压 +缩到了1K。现在，有人试图用不可压缩的数据覆盖该页，因此会占用整个4K。但是 +backend没有更多的空间了。在这种情况下，这个存储必须被拒绝。每当frontswap +拒绝一个会覆盖的存储时，它也必须使旧的数据作废，并确保它不再被访问。因为交 +换子系统会把新的数据写到读交换设备上，这是确保一致性的正确做法。 + +* 为什么frontswap补丁会创建新的头文件swapfile.h？ + +frontswap代码依赖于一些swap子系统内部的数据结构，这些数据结构多年来一直 +在静态和全局之间来回移动。这似乎是一个合理的妥协：将它们定义为全局，但在一 +个新的包含文件中声明它们，该文件不被包含swap.h的大量源文件所包含。 + +Dan Magenheimer，最后更新于2012年4月9日 diff --git a/Documentation/translations/zh_CN/vm/index.rst b/Documentation/translations/zh_CN/vm/index.rst index a1d2f0356cc1..a78060a0c2ed 100644 --- a/Documentation/translations/zh_CN/vm/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/translations/zh_CN/vm/index.rst @@ -27,11 +27,11 @@ TODO:待引用文档集被翻译完毕后请及时修改此处） free_page_reporting highmem ksm + frontswap TODOLIST: * arch_pgtable_helpers * free_page_reporting -* frontswap * hmm * hwpoison * hugetlbfs_reserv From 19a05e35dd92e49b287ec2f66c609338e93b1e57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yanteng Si Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2022 17:59:44 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 12/70] docs/zh_CN: add vm hwpoison translation Translate .../vm/hwpoison.rst into Chinese.

+:ref:`hugetlbpage` 中描述的巨页通常是预先分配给应用程序使用的。如果VMA指 +示要使用巨页，这些巨页会在缺页异常时被实例化到任务的地址空间。如果在缺页异常 +时没有巨页存在，任务就会被发送一个SIGBUS，并经常不高兴地死去。在加入巨页支 +持后不久，人们决定，在mmap()时检测巨页的短缺情况会更好。这个想法是，如果 +没有足够的巨页来覆盖映射，mmap()将失败。这首先是在mmap()时在代码中做一个 +简单的检查，以确定是否有足够的空闲巨页来覆盖映射。就像内核中的大多数东西一 +样，代码随着时间的推移而不断发展。然而，基本的想法是在mmap()时 “预留” +巨页，以确保巨页可以用于该映射中的缺页异常。下面的描述试图描述在v4.10内核 +中是如何进行巨页预留处理的。 + + +读者 +==== +这个描述主要是针对正在修改hugetlbfs代码的内核开发者。 + + +数据结构 +======== + +resv_huge_pages + 这是一个全局的（per-hstate）预留的巨页的计数。预留的巨页只对预留它们的任 + 务可用。因此，一般可用的巨页的数量被计算为(``free_huge_pages - resv_huge_pages``)。 +Reserve Map + 预留映射由以下结构体描述:: + + struct resv_map { + struct kref refs; + spinlock_t lock; + struct list_head regions; + long adds_in_progress; + struct list_head region_cache; + long region_cache_count; + }; + + 系统中每个巨页映射都有一个预留映射。resv_map中的regions列表描述了映射中的 + 区域。一个区域被描述为:: + + struct file_region { + struct list_head link; + long from; + long to; + }; + + file_region结构体的 ‘from’ 和 ‘to’ 字段是进入映射的巨页索引。根据映射的类型，在 + reserv_map 中的一个区域可能表示该范围存在预留，或预留不存在。 +Flags for MAP_PRIVATE Reservations + 这些被存储在预留的映射指针的底部。 + + ``#define HPAGE_RESV_OWNER (1UL << 0)`` + 表示该任务是与该映射相关的预留的所有者。 + ``#define HPAGE_RESV_UNMAPPED (1UL << 1)`` + 表示最初映射此范围（并创建储备）的任务由于COW失败而从该任务（子任务）中取消映 + 射了一个页面。 +Page Flags + PagePrivate页面标志是用来指示在释放巨页时必须恢复巨页的预留。更多细节将在 + “释放巨页” 一节中讨论。 + + +预留映射位置（私有或共享） +========================== + +一个巨页映射或段要么是私有的，要么是共享的。如果是私有的，它通常只对一个地址空间 +（任务）可用。如果是共享的，它可以被映射到多个地址空间（任务）。对于这两种类型的映射， +预留映射的位置和语义是明显不同的。位置的差异是： + +- 对于私有映射，预留映射挂在VMA结构体上。具体来说，就是vma->vm_private_data。这个保 + 留映射是在创建映射（mmap(MAP_PRIVATE)）时创建的。 +- 对于共享映射，预留映射挂在inode上。具体来说，就是inode->i_mapping->private_data。 + 由于共享映射总是由hugetlbfs文件系统中的文件支持，hugetlbfs代码确保每个节点包含一个预 + 留映射。因此，预留映射在创建节点时被分配。 + + +创建预留 +======== +当创建一个巨大的有页面支持的共享内存段（shmget(SHM_HUGETLB)）或通过mmap(MAP_HUGETLB) +创建一个映射时，就会创建预留。这些操作会导致对函数hugetlb_reserve_pages()的调用:: + + int hugetlb_reserve_pages(struct inode *inode, + long from, long to, + struct vm_area_struct *vma, + vm_flags_t vm_flags) + +hugetlb_reserve_pages()做的第一件事是检查在调用shmget()或mmap()时是否指定了NORESERVE +标志。如果指定了NORESERVE，那么这个函数立即返回，因为不需要预留。 + +参数'from'和'to'是映射或基础文件的巨页索引。对于shmget()，'from'总是0，'to'对应于段/映射 +的长度。对于mmap()，offset参数可以用来指定进入底层文件的偏移量。在这种情况下，'from'和'to' +参数已经被这个偏移量所调整。 + +PRIVATE和SHARED映射之间的一个很大的区别是预留在预留映射中的表示方式。 + +- 对于共享映射，预留映射中的条目表示对应页面的预留存在或曾经存在。当预留被消耗时，预留映射不被 + 修改。 +- 对于私有映射，预留映射中没有条目表示相应页面存在预留。随着预留被消耗，条目被添加到预留映射中。 + 因此，预留映射也可用于确定哪些预留已被消耗。 + +对于私有映射，hugetlb_reserve_pages()创建预留映射并将其挂在VMA结构体上。此外， +HPAGE_RESV_OWNER标志被设置，以表明该VMA拥有预留。 + +预留映射被查阅以确定当前映射/段需要多少巨页预留。对于私有映射，这始终是一个值（to - from）。 +然而，对于共享映射来说，一些预留可能已经存在于(to - from)的范围内。关于如何实现这一点的细节， +请参见 :ref:`预留映射的修改 ` 一节。 + +该映射可能与一个子池（subpool）相关联。如果是这样，将查询子池以确保有足够的空间用于映射。子池 +有可能已经预留了可用于映射的预留空间。更多细节请参见 :ref: `子池预留 ` +一节。 + +在咨询了预留映射和子池之后，就知道了需要的新预留数量。hugetlb_acct_memory()函数被调用以检查 +并获取所要求的预留数量。hugetlb_acct_memory()调用到可能分配和调整剩余页数的函数。然而，在这 +些函数中，代码只是检查以确保有足够的空闲的巨页来容纳预留。如果有的话，全局预留计数resv_huge_pages +会被调整，如下所示:: + + if (resv_needed <= (resv_huge_pages - free_huge_pages)) + resv_huge_pages += resv_needed; + +注意，在检查和调整这些计数器时，全局锁hugetlb_lock会被预留。 + +如果有足够的空闲的巨页，并且全局计数resv_huge_pages被调整，那么与映射相关的预留映射被修改以 +反映预留。在共享映射的情况下，将存在一个file_region，包括'from'-'to'范围。对于私有映射， +不对预留映射进行修改，因为没有条目表示存在预留。 + +如果hugetlb_reserve_pages()成功，全局预留数和与映射相关的预留映射将根据需要被修改，以确保 +在'from'-'to'范围内存在预留。 + +消耗预留/分配一个巨页 +=========================== + +当与预留相关的巨页在相应的映射中被分配和实例化时，预留就被消耗了。该分配是在函数alloc_huge_page() +中进行的:: + + struct page *alloc_huge_page(struct vm_area_struct *vma, + unsigned long addr, int avoid_reserve) + +alloc_huge_page被传递给一个VMA指针和一个虚拟地址，因此它可以查阅预留映射以确定是否存在预留。 +此外，alloc_huge_page需要一个参数avoid_reserve，该参数表示即使看起来已经为指定的地址预留了 +预留，也不应该使用预留。avoid_reserve参数最常被用于写时拷贝和页面迁移的情况下，即现有页面的额 +外拷贝被分配。 + + +调用辅助函数vma_needs_reservation()来确定是否存在对映射(vma)中地址的预留。关于这个函数的详 +细内容，请参见 :ref:`预留映射帮助函数 ` 一节。从 +vma_needs_reservation()返回的值通常为0或1。如果该地址存在预留，则为0，如果不存在预留，则为1。 +如果不存在预留，并且有一个与映射相关联的子池，则查询子池以确定它是否包含预留。如果子池包含预留， +则可将其中一个用于该分配。然而，在任何情况下，avoid_reserve参数都会优先考虑为分配使用预留。在 +确定预留是否存在并可用于分配后，调用dequeue_huge_page_vma()函数。这个函数需要两个与预留有关 +的参数： + +- avoid_reserve，这是传递给alloc_huge_page()的同一个值/参数。 +- chg，尽管这个参数的类型是long，但只有0或1的值被传递给dequeue_huge_page_vma。如果该值为0， + 则表明存在预留（关于可能的问题，请参见 “预留和内存策略” 一节）。如果值 + 为1，则表示不存在预留，如果可能的话，必须从全局空闲池中取出该页。 + +与VMA的内存策略相关的空闲列表被搜索到一个空闲页。如果找到了一个页面，当该页面从空闲列表中移除时， +free_huge_pages的值被递减。如果有一个与该页相关的预留，将进行以下调整:: + + SetPagePrivate(page); /* 表示分配这个页面消耗了一个预留， + * 如果遇到错误，以至于必须释放这个页面，预留将被 + * 恢复。 */ + resv_huge_pages--; /* 减少全局预留计数 */ + +注意，如果找不到满足VMA内存策略的巨页，将尝试使用伙伴分配器分配一个。这就带来了超出预留范围 +的剩余巨页和超额分配的问题。即使分配了一个多余的页面，也会进行与上面一样的基于预留的调整: +SetPagePrivate(page) 和 resv_huge_pages--. + +在获得一个新的巨页后，(page)->private被设置为与该页面相关的子池的值，如果它存在的话。当页 +面被释放时，这将被用于子池的计数。 + +然后调用函数vma_commit_reservation()，根据预留的消耗情况调整预留映射。一般来说，这涉及 +到确保页面在区域映射的file_region结构体中被表示。对于预留存在的共享映射，预留映射中的条目 +已经存在，所以不做任何改变。然而，如果共享映射中没有预留，或者这是一个私有映射，则必须创建一 +个新的条目。 + +注意，如果找不到满足VMA内存策略的巨页，将尝试使用伙伴分配器分配一个。这就带来了超出预留范围 +的剩余巨页和过度分配的问题。即使分配了一个多余的页面，也会进行与上面一样的基于预留的调整。 +SetPagePrivate(page)和resv_huge_pages-。 +

+享映射中为同一页面被调用，这将是可能的。在这种情况下，预留计数和子池空闲页计数会有一个偏差。 +这种罕见的情况可以通过比较vma_needs_reservation和vma_commit_reservation的返回值来 +识别。如果检测到这种竞争，子池和全局预留计数将被调整以进行补偿。关于这些函数的更多信息，请 +参见 :ref:`预留映射帮助函数 ` 一节。 + + +实例化巨页 +========== + +在巨页分配之后，页面通常被添加到分配任务的页表中。在此之前，共享映射中的页面被添加到页面缓 +存中，私有映射中的页面被添加到匿名反向映射中。在这两种情况下，PagePrivate标志被清除。因此， +当一个已经实例化的巨页被释放时，不会对全局预留计数（resv_huge_pages）进行调整。 + + +释放巨页 +======== + +巨页释放是由函数free_huge_page()执行的。这个函数是hugetlbfs复合页的析构器。因此，它只传 +递一个指向页面结构体的指针。当一个巨页被释放时，可能需要进行预留计算。如果该页与包含保 +留的子池相关联，或者该页在错误路径上被释放，必须恢复全局预留计数，就会出现这种情况。 + +page->private字段指向与该页相关的任何子池。如果PagePrivate标志被设置，它表明全局预留计数 +应该被调整（关于如何设置这些标志的信息，请参见 +:ref: `消耗预留/分配一个巨页 ` ）。 + + +该函数首先调用hugepage_subpool_put_pages()来处理该页。如果这个函数返回一个0的值（不等于 +传递的1的值），它表明预留与子池相关联，这个新释放的页面必须被用来保持子池预留的数量超过最小值。 +因此，在这种情况下，全局resv_huge_pages计数器被递增。 + +如果页面中设置了PagePrivate标志，那么全局resv_huge_pages计数器将永远被递增。 + +子池预留 +======== + +有一个结构体hstate与每个巨页尺寸相关联。hstate跟踪所有指定大小的巨页。一个子池代表一 +个hstate中的页面子集，它与一个已挂载的hugetlbfs文件系统相关 + +当一个hugetlbfs文件系统被挂载时，可以指定min_size选项，它表示文件系统所需的最小的巨页数量。 +如果指定了这个选项，与min_size相对应的巨页的数量将被预留给文件系统使用。这个数字在结构体 +hugepage_subpool的min_hpages字段中被跟踪。在挂载时，hugetlb_acct_memory(min_hpages) +被调用以预留指定数量的巨页。如果它们不能被预留，挂载就会失败。 + +当从子池中获取或释放页面时，会调用hugepage_subpool_get/put_pages()函数。 +hugepage_subpool_get/put_pages被传递给巨页数量，以此来调整子池的 “已用页面” 计数 +（get为下降，put为上升）。通常情况下，如果子池中没有足够的页面，它们会返回与传递的相同的值或 +一个错误。 + +然而，如果预留与子池相关联，可能会返回一个小于传递值的返回值。这个返回值表示必须进行的额外全局 +池调整的数量。例如，假设一个子池包含3个预留的巨页，有人要求5个。与子池相关的3个预留页可以用来 +满足部分请求。但是，必须从全局池中获得2个页面。为了向调用者转达这一信息，将返回值2。然后，调用 +者要负责从全局池中获取另外两个页面。 + + +COW和预留 +========== + +由于共享映射都指向并使用相同的底层页面，COW最大的预留问题是私有映射。在这种情况下，两个任务可 +以指向同一个先前分配的页面。一个任务试图写到该页，所以必须分配一个新的页，以便每个任务都指向它 +自己的页。 + +当该页最初被分配时，该页的预留被消耗了。当由于COW而试图分配一个新的页面时，有可能没有空闲的巨 +页，分配会失败。 + +当最初创建私有映射时，通过设置所有者的预留映射指针中的HPAGE_RESV_OWNER位来标记映射的所有者。 +由于所有者创建了映射，所有者拥有与映射相关的所有预留。因此，当一个写异常发生并且没有可用的页面 +时，对预留的所有者和非所有者采取不同的行动。 + +在发生异常的任务不是所有者的情况下，异常将失败，该任务通常会收到一个SIGBUS。 + +如果所有者是发生异常的任务，我们希望它能够成功，因为它拥有原始的预留。为了达到这个目的，该页被 +从非所有者任务中解映射出来。这样一来，唯一的引用就是来自拥有者的任务。此外，HPAGE_RESV_UNMAPPED +位被设置在非拥有任务的预留映射指针中。如果非拥有者任务后来在一个不存在的页面上发生异常，它可能 +会收到一个SIGBUS。但是，映射/预留的原始拥有者的行为将与预期一致。 + +预留映射的修改 +============== + +以下低级函数用于对预留映射进行修改。通常情况下，这些函数不会被直接调用。而是调用一个预留映射辅 +助函数，该函数调用这些低级函数中的一个。这些低级函数在源代码（mm/hugetlb.c）中得到了相当好的 +记录。这些函数是:: + + long region_chg(struct resv_map *resv, long f, long t); + long region_add(struct resv_map *resv, long f, long t); + void region_abort(struct resv_map *resv, long f, long t); + long region_count(struct resv_map *resv, long f, long t); + +在预留映射上的操作通常涉及两个操作: + +1) region_chg()被调用来检查预留映射，并确定在指定的范围[f, t]内有多少页目前没有被代表。 + + 调用代码执行全局检查和分配，以确定是否有足够的巨页使操作成功。 + +2) + a) 如果操作能够成功，regi_add()将被调用，以实际修改先前传递给regi_chg()的相同范围 + [f, t]的预留映射。 + b) 如果操作不能成功，region_abort被调用，在相同的范围[f, t]内中止操作。 + +注意，这是一个两步的过程， region_add()和 region_abort()在事先调用 region_chg()后保证 +成功。 region_chg()负责预先分配任何必要的数据结构以确保后续操作（特别是 region_add()）的 +成功。 + +如上所述，region_chg()确定该范围内当前没有在映射中表示的页面的数量。region_add()返回添加 +到映射中的范围内的页数。在大多数情况下， region_add() 的返回值与 region_chg() 的返回值相 +同。然而，在共享映射的情况下，有可能在调用 region_chg() 和 region_add() 之间对预留映射进 +行更改。在这种情况下，regi_add()的返回值将与regi_chg()的返回值不符。在这种情况下，全局计数 +和子池计数很可能是不正确的，需要调整。检查这种情况并进行适当的调整是调用者的责任。 + +函数region_del()被调用以从预留映射中移除区域。 +它通常在以下情况下被调用: + +- 当hugetlbfs文件系统中的一个文件被删除时，该节点将被释放，预留映射也被释放。在释放预留映射 + 之前，所有单独的file_region结构体必须被释放。在这种情况下，region_del的范围是[0, LONG_MAX]。 +- 当一个hugetlbfs文件正在被截断时。在这种情况下，所有在新文件大小之后分配的页面必须被释放。 + 此外，预留映射中任何超过新文件大小的file_region条目必须被删除。在这种情况下，region_del + 的范围是[new_end_of_file, LONG_MAX]。 +- 当在一个hugetlbfs文件中打洞时。在这种情况下，巨页被一次次从文件的中间移除。当这些页被移除 + 时，region_del()被调用以从预留映射中移除相应的条目。在这种情况下，region_del被传递的范 + 围是[page_idx, page_idx + 1]。 + +在任何情况下，region_del()都会返回从预留映射中删除的页面数量。在非常罕见的情况下，region_del() +会失败。这只能发生在打洞的情况下，即它必须分割一个现有的file_region条目，而不能分配一个新的 +结构体。在这种错误情况下，region_del()将返回-ENOMEM。这里的问题是，预留映射将显示对该页有 +预留。然而，子池和全局预留计数将不反映该预留。为了处理这种情况，调用函数hugetlb_fix_reserve_counts() +来调整计数器，使其与不能被删除的预留映射条目相对应。 + +region_count()在解除私有巨页映射时被调用。在私有映射中，预留映射中没有条目表明存在一个预留。 +因此，通过计算预留映射中的条目数，我们知道有多少预留被消耗了，有多少预留是未完成的 +（Outstanding = (end - start) - region_count（resv, start, end））。由于映射正在消 +失，子池和全局预留计数被未完成的预留数量所减去。 + +预留映射帮助函数 +================ + +有几个辅助函数可以查询和修改预留映射。这些函数只对特定的巨页的预留感兴趣，所以它们只是传入一个 +地址而不是一个范围。此外，它们还传入相关的VMA。从VMA中，可以确定映射的类型（私有或共享）和预留 +映射的位置（inode或VMA）。这些函数只是调用 “预留映射的修改” 一节中描述的基础函数。然而， +它们确实考虑到了私有和共享映射的预留映射条目的 “相反” 含义，并向调用者隐藏了这个细节:: + + long vma_needs_reservation(struct hstate *h, + struct vm_area_struct *vma, + unsigned long addr) + +该函数为指定的页面调用 region_chg()。如果不存在预留，则返回1。如果存在预留，则返回0:: + + long vma_commit_reservation(struct hstate *h, + struct vm_area_struct *vma, + unsigned long addr) + +这将调用 region_add()，用于指定的页面。与region_chg和region_add的情况一样，该函数应在 +先前调用的vma_needs_reservation后调用。它将为该页添加一个预留条目。如果预留被添加，它将 +返回1，如果没有则返回0。返回值应与之前调用vma_needs_reservation的返回值进行比较。如果出 +现意外的差异，说明在两次调用之间修改了预留映射:: + + void vma_end_reservation(struct hstate *h, + struct vm_area_struct *vma, + unsigned long addr) + +这将调用指定页面的 region_abort()。与region_chg和region_abort的情况一样，该函数应在 +先前调用的vma_needs_reservation后被调用。它将中止/结束正在进行的预留添加操作:: + + long vma_add_reservation(struct hstate *h, + struct vm_area_struct *vma, + unsigned long addr) + +这是一个特殊的包装函数，有助于在错误路径上清理预留。它只从repare_reserve_on_error()函数 +中调用。该函数与vma_needs_reservation一起使用，试图将一个预留添加到预留映射中。它考虑到 +了私有和共享映射的不同预留映射语义。因此，region_add被调用用于共享映射（因为映射中的条目表 +示预留），而region_del被调用用于私有映射（因为映射中没有条目表示预留）。关于在错误路径上需 +要做什么的更多信息，请参见 “错误路径中的预留清理” 。 + + +错误路径中的预留清理 +==================== + +正如在:ref:`预留映射帮助函数` 一节中提到的，预留的修改分两步进行。首 +先，在分配页面之前调用vma_needs_reservation。如果分配成功，则调用vma_commit_reservation。 +如果不是，则调用vma_end_reservation。全局和子池的预留计数根据操作的成功或失败进行调整， +一切都很好。 + +此外，在一个巨页被实例化后，PagePrivate标志被清空，这样，当页面最终被释放时，计数是 +正确的。 + +然而，有几种情况是，在一个巨页被分配后，但在它被实例化之前，就遇到了错误。在这种情况下， +页面分配已经消耗了预留，并进行了适当的子池、预留映射和全局计数调整。如果页面在这个时候被释放 +（在实例化和清除PagePrivate之前），那么free_huge_page将增加全局预留计数。然而，预留映射 +显示报留被消耗了。这种不一致的状态将导致预留的巨页的 “泄漏” 。全局预留计数将比它原本的要高， +并阻止分配一个预先分配的页面。 + +函数 restore_reserve_on_error() 试图处理这种情况。它有相当完善的文档。这个函数的目的 +是将预留映射恢复到页面分配前的状态。通过这种方式，预留映射的状态将与页面释放后的全局预留计 +数相对应。 + +函数restore_reserve_on_error本身在试图恢复预留映射条目时可能会遇到错误。在这种情况下， +它将简单地清除该页的PagePrivate标志。这样一来，当页面被释放时，全局预留计数将不会被递增。 +然而，预留映射将继续看起来像预留被消耗了一样。一个页面仍然可以被分配到该地址，但它不会像最 +初设想的那样使用一个预留页。 + +有一些代码（最明显的是userfaultfd）不能调用restore_reserve_on_error。在这种情况下， +它简单地修改了PagePrivate，以便在释放巨页时不会泄露预留。 + + +预留和内存策略 +============== +当git第一次被用来管理Linux代码时，每个节点的巨页列表就存在于hstate结构中。预留的概念是 +在一段时间后加入的。当预留被添加时，没有尝试将内存策略考虑在内。虽然cpusets与内存策略不 +完全相同，但hugetlb_acct_memory中的这个注释总结了预留和cpusets/内存策略之间的相互作 +用:: + + + /* + * 当cpuset被配置时，它打破了严格的hugetlb页面预留，因为计数是在一个全局变量上完 + * 成的。在有cpuset的情况下，这样的预留完全是垃圾，因为预留没有根据当前cpuset的 + * 页面可用性来检查。在任务所在的cpuset中缺乏空闲的htlb页面时，应用程序仍然有可能 + * 被内核OOM'ed。试图用cpuset来执行严格的计数几乎是不可能的（或者说太难看了），因 + * 为cpuset太不稳定了，任务或内存节点可以在cpuset之间动态移动。与cpuset共享 + * hugetlb映射的语义变化是不可取的。然而，为了预留一些语义，我们退回到检查当前空闲 + * 页的可用性，作为一种最好的尝试，希望能将cpuset改变语义的影响降到最低。 + */ + +添加巨页预留是为了防止在缺页异常时出现意外的页面分配失败（OOM）。然而，如果一个应用 +程序使用cpusets或内存策略，就不能保证在所需的节点上有巨页可用。即使有足够数量的全局 +预留，也是如此。 +

This effect doesn't disturb - * normal operation most of the time because read/write - * requests are relatively fast, and once we are - * performing one tape r/w request, a lot of requests - * from the other device can be queued and ide.c will - * service all of them after this single tape request. - * Ver 1.0 Dec 11 95 Integrated into Linux 1.3.46 development tree. - * On each read / write request, we now ask the drive - * if we can transfer a constant number of bytes - * (a parameter of the drive) only to its buffers, - * without causing actual media access. If we can't, - * we just wait until we can by polling the DSC bit. - * This ensures that while we are not transferring - * more bytes than the constant referred to above, the - * interrupt latency will not become too high and - * we won't cause an interrupt timeout, as happened - * occasionally in the previous version. - * While polling for DSC, the current request is - * postponed and ide.c is free to handle requests from - * the other device.

I will soon add an ioctl to get - * this important parameter. - * Our data transfer buffer is allocated on startup, - * rather than before each data transfer. This should - * ensure that we will indeed have a data buffer. - * Ver 1.1 Dec 14 95 Fixed random problems which occurred when the tape - * shared an interface with another device. - * (poll_for_dsc was a complete mess). - * Removed some old (non-active) code which had - * to do with supporting buffer cache originated - * requests. - * The block device interface can now be opened, so - * that general ide driver features like the unmask - * interrupts flag can be selected with an ioctl. - * This is the only use of the block device interface. - * New fast pipelined operation mode (currently only on - * writes).

+ +在 ops->invalidate() 回调期间，设备驱动程序必须对范围执行更新操作（将范围标记为只 +读，或完全取消映射等）。设备必须在驱动程序回调返回之前完成更新。 + +当设备驱动程序想要填充一个虚拟地址范围时，它可以使用:: + + int hmm_range_fault(struct hmm_range *range); + +如果请求写访问，它将在丢失或只读条目上触发缺页异常（见下文）。缺页异常使用通用的 mm 缺 +页异常代码路径，就像 CPU 缺页异常一样。 + +这两个函数都将 CPU 页表条目复制到它们的 pfns 数组参数中。该数组中的每个条目对应于虚拟 +范围中的一个地址。HMM 提供了一组标志来帮助驱动程序识别特殊的 CPU 页表项。 + +在 sync_cpu_device_pagetables() 回调中锁定是驱动程序必须尊重的最重要的方面，以保 +持事物正确同步。使用模式是:: + + int driver_populate_range(...) + { + struct hmm_range range;

+ +还有devm_request_free_mem_region(), devm_memremap_pages(), +devm_memunmap_pages() 和 devm_release_mem_region() 当资源可以绑定到 ``struct device``. + +整体迁移步骤类似于在系统内存中迁移 NUMA 页面(see :ref:`Page migration `) ， +但这些步骤分为设备驱动程序特定代码和共享公共代码: + +1. ``mmap_read_lock()`` + + 设备驱动程序必须将 ``struct vm_area_struct`` 传递给migrate_vma_setup()， + 因此需要在迁移期间保留 mmap_read_lock() 或 mmap_write_lock()。 + +2. ``migrate_vma_setup(struct migrate_vma *args)`` + + 设备驱动初始化了 ``struct migrate_vma`` 的字段，并将该指针传递给 + migrate_vma_setup()。``args->flags`` 字段是用来过滤哪些源页面应该被迁移。 + 例如，设置 ``MIGRATE_VMA_SELECT_SYSTEM`` 将只迁移系统内存，设置 + ``MIGRATE_VMA_SELECT_DEVICE_PRIVATE`` 将只迁移驻留在设备私有内存中的页 + 面。如果后者被设置， ``args->pgmap_owner`` 字段被用来识别驱动所拥有的设备 + 私有页。这就避免了试图迁移驻留在其他设备中的设备私有页。目前，只有匿名的私有VMA + 范围可以被迁移到系统内存和设备私有内存。 + + migrate_vma_setup()所做的第一步是用 ``mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()`` + 和 ``mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end()`` 调用来遍历设备周围的页表，使 + 其他设备的MMU无效，以便在 ``args->src`` 数组中填写要迁移的PFN。 + ``invalidate_range_start()`` 回调传递给一个``struct mmu_notifier_range`` ， + 其 ``event`` 字段设置为MMU_NOTIFY_MIGRATE， ``owner`` 字段设置为传递给 + migrate_vma_setup()的 ``args->pgmap_owner`` 字段。这允许设备驱动跳过无 + 效化回调，只无效化那些实际正在迁移的设备私有MMU映射。这一点将在下一节详细解释。 + + + 在遍历页表时，一个 ``pte_none()`` 或 ``is_zero_pfn()`` 条目导致一个有效 + 的 “zero” PFN 存储在 ``args->src`` 阵列中。这让驱动分配设备私有内存并清 + 除它，而不是复制一个零页。到系统内存或设备私有结构页的有效PTE条目将被 + ``lock_page()``锁定，与LRU隔离（如果系统内存和设备私有页不在LRU上），从进 + 程中取消映射，并插入一个特殊的迁移PTE来代替原来的PTE。 migrate_vma_setup() + 还清除了 ``args->dst`` 数组。 + +3. 设备驱动程序分配目标页面并将源页面复制到目标页面。 + + 驱动程序检查每个 ``src`` 条目以查看该 ``MIGRATE_PFN_MIGRATE`` 位是否已 + 设置并跳过未迁移的条目。设备驱动程序还可以通过不填充页面的 ``dst`` 数组来选 + 择跳过页面迁移。 + + 然后，驱动程序分配一个设备私有 struct page 或一个系统内存页，用 ``lock_page()`` + 锁定该页，并将 ``dst`` 数组条目填入:: + + dst[i] = migrate_pfn(page_to_pfn(dpage)); + + 现在驱动程序知道这个页面正在被迁移，它可以使设备私有 MMU 映射无效并将设备私有 + 内存复制到系统内存或另一个设备私有页面。由于核心 Linux 内核会处理 CPU 页表失 + 效，因此设备驱动程序只需使其自己的 MMU 映射失效。 + + 驱动程序可以使用 ``migrate_pfn_to_page(src[i])`` 来获取源设备的 + ``struct page`` 面，并将源页面复制到目标设备上，如果指针为 ``NULL`` ，意 + 味着源页面没有被填充到系统内存中，则清除目标设备的私有内存。 + +4. ``migrate_vma_pages()`` + + 这一步是实际“提交”迁移的地方。 + + 如果源页是 ``pte_none()`` 或 ``is_zero_pfn()`` 页，这时新分配的页会被插 + 入到CPU的页表中。如果一个CPU线程在同一页面上发生异常，这可能会失败。然而，页 + 表被锁定，只有一个新页会被插入。如果它失去了竞争，设备驱动将看到 + ``MIGRATE_PFN_MIGRATE`` 位被清除。 + + 如果源页被锁定、隔离等，源 ``struct page`` 信息现在被复制到目标 + ``struct page`` ，最终完成CPU端的迁移。 + +5. 设备驱动为仍在迁移的页面更新设备MMU页表，回滚未迁移的页面。 + + 如果 ``src`` 条目仍然有 ``MIGRATE_PFN_MIGRATE`` 位被设置，设备驱动可以 + 更新设备MMU，如果 ``MIGRATE_PFN_WRITE`` 位被设置，则设置写启用位。 + +6. ``migrate_vma_finalize()`` + + 这一步用新页的页表项替换特殊的迁移页表项，并释放对源和目的 ``struct page`` + 的引用。 + +7. ``mmap_read_unlock()`` + + 现在可以释放锁了。 + +独占访问存储器 +============== + +一些设备具有诸如原子PTE位的功能，可以用来实现对系统内存的原子访问。为了支持对一 +个共享的虚拟内存页的原子操作，这样的设备需要对该页的访问是排他的，而不是来自CPU +的任何用户空间访问。 ``make_device_exclusive_range()`` 函数可以用来使一 +个内存范围不能从用户空间访问。 + +这将用特殊的交换条目替换给定范围内的所有页的映射。任何试图访问交换条目的行为都会 +导致一个异常，该异常会通过用原始映射替换该条目而得到恢复。驱动程序会被通知映射已 +经被MMU通知器改变，之后它将不再有对该页的独占访问。独占访问被保证持续到驱动程序 +放弃页面锁和页面引用为止，这时页面上的任何CPU异常都可以按所述进行。 + +内存 cgroup (memcg) 和 rss 统计 +=============================== + +目前，设备内存被视为 rss 计数器中的任何常规页面（如果设备页面用于匿名，则为匿名， +如果设备页面用于文件支持页面，则为文件，如果设备页面用于共享内存，则为 shmem）。 +这是为了保持现有应用程序的故意选择，这些应用程序可能在不知情的情况下开始使用设备 +内存，运行不受影响。 + +一个缺点是 OOM 杀手可能会杀死使用大量设备内存而不是大量常规系统内存的应用程序， +因此不会释放太多系统内存。在决定以不同方式计算设备内存之前，我们希望收集更多关 +于应用程序和系统在存在设备内存的情况下在内存压力下如何反应的实际经验。 + +对内存 cgroup 做出了相同的决定。设备内存页面根据相同的内存 cgroup 计算，常规 +页面将被计算在内。这确实简化了进出设备内存的迁移。这也意味着从设备内存迁移回常规 +内存不会失败，因为它会超过内存 cgroup 限制。一旦我们对设备内存的使用方式及其对 +内存资源控制的影响有了更多的了解，我们可能会在后面重新考虑这个选择。 + +请注意，设备内存永远不能由设备驱动程序或通过 GUP 固定，因此此类内存在进程退出时 +总是被释放的。或者在共享内存或文件支持内存的情况下，当删除最后一个引用时。 diff --git a/Documentation/translations/zh_CN/vm/index.rst b/Documentation/translations/zh_CN/vm/index.rst index 61cd39cefdcf..0839b2231548 100644 --- a/Documentation/translations/zh_CN/vm/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/translations/zh_CN/vm/index.rst @@ -28,6 +28,7 @@ TODO:待引用文档集被翻译完毕后请及时修改此处） highmem ksm frontswap + hmm hwpoison hugetlbfs_reserv memory-model @@ -44,7 +45,6 @@ TODO:待引用文档集被翻译完毕后请及时修改此处） TODOLIST: * arch_pgtable_helpers * free_page_reporting -* hmm * hugetlbfs_reserv * numa * page_migration From f5cc416384d82d5201e9a066b5686cc38ddb2f00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yanteng Si Date: Sun, 24 Apr 2022 18:10:50 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 51/70] docs/zh_CN: add vm numa translation Translate .../vm/numa.rst into Chinese.

Introduction ---------------- - -The ide-cd driver should work with all ATAPI ver 1.2 to ATAPI 2.6 compliant -CDROM drives which attach to an IDE interface. Note that some CDROM vendors -(including Mitsumi, Sony, Creative, Aztech, and Goldstar) have made -both ATAPI-compliant drives and drives which use a proprietary -interface. If your drive uses one of those proprietary interfaces, -this driver will not work with it (but one of the other CDROM drivers -probably will). This driver will not work with `ATAPI` drives which -attach to the parallel port. In addition, there is at least one drive -(CyCDROM CR520ie) which attaches to the IDE port but is not ATAPI; -this driver will not work with drives like that either (but see the -aztcd driver). - -This driver provides the following features: - - - Reading from data tracks, and mounting ISO 9660 filesystems. - - - Playing audio tracks. Most of the CDROM player programs floating - around should work; I usually use Workman. - - - Multisession support. - - - On drives which support it, reading digital audio data directly - from audio tracks. The program cdda2wav can be used for this. - Note, however, that only some drives actually support this. - - - There is now support for CDROM changers which comply with the - ATAPI 2.6 draft standard (such as the NEC CDR-251). This additional - functionality includes a function call to query which slot is the - currently selected slot, a function call to query which slots contain - CDs, etc. A sample program which demonstrates this functionality is - appended to the end of this file. The Sanyo 3-disc changer - (which does not conform to the standard) is also now supported. - Please note the driver refers to the first CD as slot # 0. - - -2. Installation ---------------- - -0. The ide-cd relies on the ide disk driver. See - Documentation/ide/ide.rst for up-to-date information on the ide - driver. - -1. Make sure that the ide and ide-cd drivers are compiled into the - kernel you're using. When configuring the kernel, in the section - entitled "Floppy, IDE, and other block devices", say either `Y` - (which will compile the support directly into the kernel) or `M` - (to compile support as a module which can be loaded and unloaded) - to the options:: - - ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support - Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support - - Depending on what type of IDE interface you have, you may need to - specify additional configuration options. See - Documentation/ide/ide.rst. - -2. You should also ensure that the iso9660 filesystem is either - compiled into the kernel or available as a loadable module. You - can see if a filesystem is known to the kernel by catting - /proc/filesystems. - -3. The CDROM drive should be connected to the host on an IDE - interface. Each interface on a system is defined by an I/O port - address and an IRQ number, the standard assignments being - 0x1f0 and 14 for the primary interface and 0x170 and 15 for the - secondary interface. Each interface can control up to two devices, - where each device can be a hard drive, a CDROM drive, a floppy drive, - or a tape drive. The two devices on an interface are called `master` - and `slave`; this is usually selectable via a jumper on the drive. - - Linux names these devices as follows. The master and slave devices - on the primary IDE interface are called `hda` and `hdb`, - respectively. The drives on the secondary interface are called - `hdc` and `hdd`. (Interfaces at other locations get other letters - in the third position; see Documentation/ide/ide.rst.) - - If you want your CDROM drive to be found automatically by the - driver, you should make sure your IDE interface uses either the - primary or secondary addresses mentioned above. In addition, if - the CDROM drive is the only device on the IDE interface, it should - be jumpered as `master`. (If for some reason you cannot configure - your system in this manner, you can probably still use the driver. - You may have to pass extra configuration information to the kernel - when you boot, however. See Documentation/ide/ide.rst for more - information.) - -4. Boot the system. If the drive is recognized, you should see a - message which looks like:: - - hdb: NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:260, ATAPI CDROM drive - - If you do not see this, see section 5 below. - -5. You may want to create a symbolic link /dev/cdrom pointing to the - actual device. You can do this with the command:: - - ln -s /dev/hdX /dev/cdrom - - where X should be replaced by the letter indicating where your - drive is installed. - -6. You should be able to see any error messages from the driver with - the `dmesg` command. - - -3. Basic usage --------------- - -An ISO 9660 CDROM can be mounted by putting the disc in the drive and -typing (as root):: - - mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom - -where it is assumed that /dev/cdrom is a link pointing to the actual -device (as described in step 5 of the last section) and /mnt/cdrom is -an empty directory. You should now be able to see the contents of the -CDROM under the /mnt/cdrom directory. If you want to eject the CDROM, -you must first dismount it with a command like:: - - umount /mnt/cdrom - -Note that audio CDs cannot be mounted. - -Some distributions set up /etc/fstab to always try to mount a CDROM -filesystem on bootup. It is not required to mount the CDROM in this -manner, though, and it may be a nuisance if you change CDROMs often. -You should feel free to remove the cdrom line from /etc/fstab and -mount CDROMs manually if that suits you better. - -Multisession and photocd discs should work with no special handling. -The hpcdtoppm package (ftp.gwdg.de:/pub/linux/hpcdtoppm/) may be -useful for reading photocds. - -To play an audio CD, you should first unmount and remove any data -CDROM. Any of the CDROM player programs should then work (workman, -workbone, cdplayer, etc.). - -On a few drives, you can read digital audio directly using a program -such as cdda2wav. The only types of drive which I've heard support -this are Sony and Toshiba drives. You will get errors if you try to -use this function on a drive which does not support it. - -For supported changers, you can use the `cdchange` program (appended to -the end of this file) to switch between changer slots. Note that the -drive should be unmounted before attempting this. The program takes -two arguments: the CDROM device, and the slot number to which you wish -to change. If the slot number is -1, the drive is unloaded. - - -4. Common problems ------------------- - -This section discusses some common problems encountered when trying to -use the driver, and some possible solutions. Note that if you are -experiencing problems, you should probably also review -Documentation/ide/ide.rst for current information about the underlying -IDE support code. Some of these items apply only to earlier versions -of the driver, but are mentioned here for completeness. - -In most cases, you should probably check with `dmesg` for any errors -from the driver. - -a. Drive is not detected during booting. - - - Review the configuration instructions above and in - Documentation/ide/ide.rst, and check how your hardware is - configured. - - - If your drive is the only device on an IDE interface, it should - be jumpered as master, if at all possible. - - - If your IDE interface is not at the standard addresses of 0x170 - or 0x1f0, you'll need to explicitly inform the driver using a - lilo option. See Documentation/ide/ide.rst. (This feature was - added around kernel version 1.3.30.) - - - If the autoprobing is not finding your drive, you can tell the - driver to assume that one exists by using a lilo option of the - form `hdX=cdrom`, where X is the drive letter corresponding to - where your drive is installed. Note that if you do this and you - see a boot message like:: - - hdX: ATAPI cdrom (?) - - this does _not_ mean that the driver has successfully detected - the drive; rather, it means that the driver has not detected a - drive, but is assuming there's one there anyway because you told - it so. If you actually try to do I/O to a drive defined at a - nonexistent or nonresponding I/O address, you'll probably get - errors with a status value of 0xff. - - - Some IDE adapters require a nonstandard initialization sequence - before they'll function properly. (If this is the case, there - will often be a separate MS-DOS driver just for the controller.) - IDE interfaces on sound cards often fall into this category. - - Support for some interfaces needing extra initialization is - provided in later 1.3.x kernels. You may need to turn on - additional kernel configuration options to get them to work; - see Documentation/ide/ide.rst. - - Even if support is not available for your interface, you may be - able to get it to work with the following procedure. First boot - MS-DOS and load the appropriate drivers. Then warm-boot linux - (i.e., without powering off). If this works, it can be automated - by running loadlin from the MS-DOS autoexec. - - -b. Timeout/IRQ errors. - - - If you always get timeout errors, interrupts from the drive are - probably not making it to the host. - - - IRQ problems may also be indicated by the message - `IRQ probe failed ()` while booting. If is zero, that - means that the system did not see an interrupt from the drive when - it was expecting one (on any feasible IRQ). If is negative, - that means the system saw interrupts on multiple IRQ lines, when - it was expecting to receive just one from the CDROM drive. - - - Double-check your hardware configuration to make sure that the IRQ - number of your IDE interface matches what the driver expects. - (The usual assignments are 14 for the primary (0x1f0) interface - and 15 for the secondary (0x170) interface.) Also be sure that - you don't have some other hardware which might be conflicting with - the IRQ you're using. Also check the BIOS setup for your system; - some have the ability to disable individual IRQ levels, and I've - had one report of a system which was shipped with IRQ 15 disabled - by default. - - - Note that many MS-DOS CDROM drivers will still function even if - there are hardware problems with the interrupt setup; they - apparently don't use interrupts. - - - If you own a Pioneer DR-A24X, you _will_ get nasty error messages - on boot such as "irq timeout: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete }" - The Pioneer DR-A24X CDROM drives are fairly popular these days. - Unfortunately, these drives seem to become very confused when we perform - the standard Linux ATA disk drive probe. If you own one of these drives, - you can bypass the ATA probing which confuses these CDROM drives, by - adding `append="hdX=noprobe hdX=cdrom"` to your lilo.conf file and running - lilo (again where X is the drive letter corresponding to where your drive - is installed.) - -c. System hangups. - - - If the system locks up when you try to access the CDROM, the most - likely cause is that you have a buggy IDE adapter which doesn't - properly handle simultaneous transactions on multiple interfaces. - The most notorious of these is the CMD640B chip. This problem can - be worked around by specifying the `serialize` option when - booting. Recent kernels should be able to detect the need for - this automatically in most cases, but the detection is not - foolproof. See Documentation/ide/ide.rst for more information - about the `serialize` option and the CMD640B. - - - Note that many MS-DOS CDROM drivers will work with such buggy - hardware, apparently because they never attempt to overlap CDROM - operations with other disk activity. - - -d. Can't mount a CDROM. - - - If you get errors from mount, it may help to check `dmesg` to see - if there are any more specific errors from the driver or from the - filesystem. - - - Make sure there's a CDROM loaded in the drive, and that's it's an - ISO 9660 disc. You can't mount an audio CD. - - - With the CDROM in the drive and unmounted, try something like:: - - cat /dev/cdrom | od | more - - If you see a dump, then the drive and driver are probably working - OK, and the problem is at the filesystem level (i.e., the CDROM is - not ISO 9660 or has errors in the filesystem structure). - - - If you see `not a block device` errors, check that the definitions - of the device special files are correct. They should be as - follows:: - - brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 0 Nov 11 18:48 /dev/hda - brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 64 Nov 11 18:48 /dev/hdb - brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 Nov 11 18:48 /dev/hdc - brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 64 Nov 11 18:48 /dev/hdd - - Some early Slackware releases had these defined incorrectly. If - these are wrong, you can remake them by running the script - scripts/MAKEDEV.ide. (You may have to make it executable - with chmod first.) - - If you have a /dev/cdrom symbolic link, check that it is pointing - to the correct device file. - - If you hear people talking of the devices `hd1a` and `hd1b`, these - were old names for what are now called hdc and hdd. Those names - should be considered obsolete. - - - If mount is complaining that the iso9660 filesystem is not - available, but you know it is (check /proc/filesystems), you - probably need a newer version of mount. Early versions would not - always give meaningful error messages. - - -e. Directory listings are unpredictably truncated, and `dmesg` shows - `buffer botch` error messages from the driver. - - - There was a bug in the version of the driver in 1.2.x kernels - which could cause this. It was fixed in 1.3.0. If you can't - upgrade, you can probably work around the problem by specifying a - blocksize of 2048 when mounting. (Note that you won't be able to - directly execute binaries off the CDROM in that case.) - - If you see this in kernels later than 1.3.0, please report it as a - bug. - - -f. Data corruption. - - - Random data corruption was occasionally observed with the Hitachi - CDR-7730 CDROM. If you experience data corruption, using "hdx=slow" - as a command line parameter may work around the problem, at the - expense of low system performance. - - -5. cdchange.c -------------- - -:: - - /* - * cdchange.c [-v] [] - * - * This loads a CDROM from a specified slot in a changer, and displays - * information about the changer status.
