McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> + + +Linux provides a number of features that can be used to implement circular +buffering. There are two sets of such features: + + (1) Convenience functions for determining information about power-of-2 sized + buffers. + + (2) Memory barriers for when the producer and the consumer of objects in the + buffer don't want to share a lock. + +To use these facilities, as discussed below, there needs to be just one +producer and just one consumer. It is possible to handle multiple producers by +serialising them, and to handle multiple consumers by serialising them. + + +Contents: + + (*) What is a circular buffer? + + (*) Measuring power-of-2 buffers. + + (*) Using memory barriers with circular buffers. + - The producer. + - The consumer. + + +========================== +WHAT IS A CIRCULAR BUFFER? +========================== + +First of all, what is a circular buffer? A circular buffer is a buffer of +fixed, finite size into which there are two indices: + + (1) A 'head' index - the point at which the producer inserts items into the + buffer. + + (2) A 'tail' index - the point at which the consumer finds the next item in + the buffer. + +Typically when the tail pointer is equal to the head pointer, the buffer is +empty; and the buffer is full when the head pointer is one less than the tail +pointer. + +The head index is incremented when items are added, and the tail index when +items are removed. The tail index should never jump the head index, and both +indices should be wrapped to 0 when they reach the end of the buffer, thus +allowing an infinite amount of data to flow through the buffer. + +Typically, items will all be of the same unit size, but this isn't strictly +required to use the techniques below. The indices can be increased by more +than 1 if multiple items or variable-sized items are to be included in the +buffer, provided that neither index overtakes the other. The implementer must +be careful, however, as a region more than one unit in size may wrap the end of +the buffer and be broken into two segments. + + +============================ +MEASURING POWER-OF-2 BUFFERS +============================ + +Calculation of the occupancy or the remaining capacity of an arbitrarily sized +circular buffer would normally be a slow operation, requiring the use of a +modulus (divide) instruction. However, if the buffer is of a power-of-2 size, +then a much quicker bitwise-AND instruction can be used instead. + +Linux provides a set of macros for handling power-of-2 circular buffers. These +can be made use of by: + + #include <linux/circ_buf.h> + +The macros are: + + (*) Measure the remaining capacity of a buffer: + + CIRC_SPACE(head_index, tail_index, buffer_size); + + This returns the amount of space left in the buffer[1] into which items + can be inserted. + + + (*) Measure the maximum consecutive immediate space in a buffer: + + CIRC_SPACE_TO_END(head_index, tail_index, buffer_size); + + This returns the amount of consecutive space left in the buffer[1] into + which items can be immediately inserted without having to wrap back to the + beginning of the buffer. + + + (*) Measure the occupancy of a buffer: + + CIRC_CNT(head_index, tail_index, buffer_size); + + This returns the number of items currently occupying a buffer[2]. + + + (*) Measure the non-wrapping occupancy of a buffer: + + CIRC_CNT_TO_END(head_index, tail_index, buffer_size); + + This returns the number of consecutive items[2] that can be extracted from + the buffer without having to wrap back to the beginning of the buffer. + + +Each of these macros will nominally return a value between 0 and buffer_size-1, +however: + + [1] CIRC_SPACE*() are intended to be used in the producer. To the producer + they will return a lower bound as the producer controls the head index, + but the consumer may still be depleting the buffer on another CPU and + moving the tail index. + + To the consumer it will show an upper bound as the producer may be busy + depleting the space. + + [2] CIRC_CNT*() are intended to be used in the consumer. To the consumer they + will return a lower bound as the consumer controls the tail index, but the + producer may still be filling the buffer on another CPU and moving the + head index. + + To the producer it will show an upper bound as the consumer may be busy + emptying the buffer. + + [3] To a third party, the order in which the writes to the indices by the + producer and consumer become visible cannot be guaranteed as they are + independent and may be made on different CPUs - so the result in such a + situation will merely be a guess, and may even be negative. + + +=========================================== +USING MEMORY BARRIERS WITH CIRCULAR BUFFERS +=========================================== + +By using memory barriers in conjunction with circular buffers, you can avoid +the need to: + + (1) use a single lock to govern access to both ends of the buffer, thus + allowing the buffer to be filled and emptied at the same time; and + + (2) use atomic counter operations. + +There are two sides to this: the producer that fills the buffer, and the +consumer that empties it. Only one thing should be filling a buffer at any one +time, and only one thing should be emptying a buffer at any one time, but the +two sides can operate simultaneously. + + +THE PRODUCER +------------ + +The producer will look something like this: + + spin_lock(&producer_lock); + + unsigned long head = buffer->head; + unsigned long tail = ACCESS_ONCE(buffer->tail); + + if (CIRC_SPACE(head, tail, buffer->size) >= 1) { + /* insert one item into the buffer */ + struct item *item = buffer[head]; + + produce_item(item); + + smp_wmb(); /* commit the item before incrementing the head */ + + buffer->head = (head + 1) & (buffer->size - 1); + + /* wake_up() will make sure that the head is committed before + * waking anyone up */ + wake_up(consumer); + } + + spin_unlock(&producer_lock); + +This will instruct the CPU that the contents of the new item must be written +before the head index makes it available to the consumer and then instructs the +CPU that the revised head index must be written before the consumer is woken. + +Note that wake_up() doesn't have to be the exact mechanism used, but whatever +is used must guarantee a (write) memory barrier between the update of the head +index and the change of state of the consumer, if a change of state occurs. + + +THE CONSUMER +------------ + +The consumer will look something like this: + + spin_lock(&consumer_lock); + + unsigned long head = ACCESS_ONCE(buffer->head); + unsigned long tail = buffer->tail; + + if (CIRC_CNT(head, tail, buffer->size) >= 1) { + /* read index before reading contents at that index */ + smp_read_barrier_depends(); + + /* extract one item from the buffer */ + struct item *item = buffer[tail]; + + consume_item(item); + + smp_mb(); /* finish reading descriptor before incrementing tail */ + + buffer->tail = (tail + 1) & (buffer->size - 1); + } + + spin_unlock(&consumer_lock); + +This will instruct the CPU to make sure the index is up to date before reading +the new item, and then it shall make sure the CPU has finished reading the item +before it writes the new tail pointer, which will erase the item. + + +Note the use of ACCESS_ONCE() in both algorithms to read the opposition index. +This prevents the compiler from discarding and reloading its cached value - +which some compilers will do across smp_read_barrier_depends().

When storage nodes fail, data is +re-replicated in a distributed fashion by the storage nodes themselves +(with some minimal coordination from a cluster monitor), making the +system extremely efficient and scalable. + +Metadata servers effectively form a large, consistent, distributed +in-memory cache above the file namespace that is extremely scalable, +dynamically redistributes metadata in response to workload changes, +and can tolerate arbitrary (well, non-Byzantine) node failures. The +metadata server takes a somewhat unconventional approach to metadata +storage to significantly improve performance for common workloads. In +particular, inodes with only a single link are embedded in +directories, allowing entire directories of dentries and inodes to be +loaded into its cache with a single I/O operation. The contents of +extremely large directories can be fragmented and managed by +independent metadata servers, allowing scalable concurrent access. + +The system offers automatic data rebalancing/migration when scaling +from a small cluster of just a few nodes to many hundreds, without +requiring an administrator carve the data set into static volumes or +go through the tedious process of migrating data between servers. +When the file system approaches full, new nodes can be easily added +and things will "just work." + +Ceph includes flexible snapshot mechanism that allows a user to create +a snapshot on any subdirectory (and its nested contents) in the +system. Snapshot creation and deletion are as simple as 'mkdir +.snap/foo' and 'rmdir .snap/foo'. + +Ceph also provides some recursive accounting on directories for nested +files and bytes. That is, a 'getfattr -d foo' on any directory in the +system will reveal the total number of nested regular files and +subdirectories, and a summation of all nested file sizes. This makes +the identification of large disk space consumers relatively quick, as +no 'du' or similar recursive scan of the file system is required. + + +Mount Syntax +============ + +The basic mount syntax is: + + # mount -t ceph monip[:port][,monip2[:port]...]:/[subdir] mnt + +You only need to specify a single monitor, as the client will get the +full list when it connects. (However, if the monitor you specify +happens to be down, the mount won't succeed.) The port can be left +off if the monitor is using the default. So if the monitor is at +1.2.3.4, + + # mount -t ceph 1.2.3.4:/ /mnt/ceph + +is sufficient. If /sbin/mount.ceph is installed, a hostname can be +used instead of an IP address. + + + +Mount Options +============= + + ip=A.B.C.D[:N] + Specify the IP and/or port the client should bind to locally. + There is normally not much reason to do this. If the IP is not + specified, the client's IP address is determined by looking at the + address it's connection to the monitor originates from. + + wsize=X + Specify the maximum write size in bytes. By default there is no + maximum. Ceph will normally size writes based on the file stripe + size. + + rsize=X + Specify the maximum readahead. + + mount_timeout=X + Specify the timeout value for mount (in seconds), in the case + of a non-responsive Ceph file system. The default is 30 + seconds. + + rbytes + When stat() is called on a directory, set st_size to 'rbytes', + the summation of file sizes over all files nested beneath that + directory. This is the default. + + norbytes + When stat() is called on a directory, set st_size to the + number of entries in that directory. + + nocrc + Disable CRC32C calculation for data writes. If set, the storage node + must rely on TCP's error correction to detect data corruption + in the data payload. + + noasyncreaddir + Disable client's use its local cache to satisfy readdir + requests.

The voyager came in three levels of architectural -sophistication: 3,4 and 5 --- 1 and 2 never made it out of prototype. -The linux patches support only the Level 5 voyager architecture (any -machine class 3435 and above). - -The Voyager Architecture ------------------------- - -Voyager machines consist of a Baseboard with a 386 diagnostic -processor, a Power Supply Interface (PSI) a Primary and possibly -Secondary Microchannel bus and between 2 and 20 voyager slots. The -voyager slots can be populated with memory and cpu cards (up to 4GB -memory and from 1 486 to 32 Pentium Pro processors). Internally, the -voyager has a dual arbitrated system bus and a configuration and test -bus (CAT). The voyager bus speed is 40MHz. Therefore (since all -voyager cards are dual ported for each system bus) the maximum -transfer rate is 320Mb/s but only if you have your slot configuration -tuned (only memory cards can communicate with both busses at once, CPU -cards utilise them one at a time). - -Voyager SMP ------------ - -Since voyager was the first intel based SMP system, it is slightly -more primitive than the Intel IO-APIC approach to SMP. Voyager allows -arbitrary interrupt routing (including processor affinity routing) of -all 16 PC type interrupts. However it does this by using a modified -5259 master/slave chip set instead of an APIC bus. Additionally, -voyager supports Cross Processor Interrupts (CPI) equivalent to the -APIC IPIs. There are two routed voyager interrupt lines provided to -each slot. - -Processor Cards ---------------- - -These come in single, dyadic and quad configurations (the quads are -problematic--see later). The maximum configuration is 8 quad cards -for 32 way SMP. - -Quad Processors ---------------- - -Because voyager only supplies two interrupt lines to each Processor -card, the Quad processors have to be configured (and Bootstrapped) in -as a pair of Master/Slave processors. - -In fact, most Quad cards only accept one VIC interrupt line, so they -have one interrupt handling processor (called the VIC extended -processor) and three non-interrupt handling processors. - -Current Status --------------- - -The System will boot on Mono, Dyad and Quad cards. There was -originally a Quad boot problem which has been fixed by proper gdt -alignment in the initial boot loader. If you still cannot get your -voyager system to boot, email me at: - -<J.E.J.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com> - - -The Quad cards now support using the separate Quad CPI vectors instead -of going through the VIC mailbox system. - -The Level 4 architecture (3430 and 3360 Machines) should also work -fine. - -Dump Switch ------------ - -The voyager dump switch sends out a broadcast NMI which the voyager -code intercepts and does a task dump. - -Power Switch ------------- - -The front panel power switch is intercepted by the kernel and should -cause a system shutdown and power off. - -A Note About Mixed CPU Systems ------------------------------- - -Linux isn't designed to handle mixed CPU systems very well. In order -to get everything going you *must* make sure that your lowest -capability CPU is used for booting. Also, mixing CPU classes -(e.g. 486 and 586) is really not going to work very well at all. diff --git a/Documentation/watchdog/src/watchdog-simple.c b/Documentation/watchdog/src/watchdog-simple.c index 4cf72f3fa8e..ba45803a221 100644 --- a/Documentation/watchdog/src/watchdog-simple.c +++ b/Documentation/watchdog/src/watchdog-simple.c @@ -17,9 +17,6 @@ int main(void) ret = -1; break; } - ret = fsync(fd); - if (ret) - break; sleep(10); } close(fd); diff --git a/Documentation/watchdog/src/watchdog-test.c b/Documentation/watchdog/src/watchdog-test.c index a750532ffcf..63fdc34ceb9 100644 --- a/Documentation/watchdog/src/watchdog-test.c +++ b/Documentation/watchdog/src/watchdog-test.c @@ -31,6 +31,8 @@ static void keep_alive(void) */ int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { + int flags; + fd = open("/dev/watchdog", O_WRONLY); if (fd == -1) { @@ -41,12 +43,14 @@ int main(int argc, char *argv[]) if (argc > 1) { if (!strncasecmp(argv[1], "-d", 2)) { - ioctl(fd, WDIOC_SETOPTIONS, WDIOS_DISABLECARD); + flags = WDIOS_DISABLECARD; + ioctl(fd, WDIOC_SETOPTIONS, &flags); fprintf(stderr, "Watchdog card disabled.\n"); fflush(stderr); exit(0); } else if (!strncasecmp(argv[1], "-e", 2)) { - ioctl(fd, WDIOC_SETOPTIONS, WDIOS_ENABLECARD); + flags = WDIOS_ENABLECARD; + ioctl(fd, WDIOC_SETOPTIONS, &flags); fprintf(stderr, "Watchdog card enabled.\n"); fflush(stderr); exit(0); diff --git a/Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt b/Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt index 4cc4ba9d715..eb7132ed8bb 100644 --- a/Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt +++ b/Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt @@ -222,11 +222,10 @@ returned value is the temperature in degrees fahrenheit. ioctl(fd, WDIOC_GETTEMP, &temperature); Finally the SETOPTIONS ioctl can be used to control some aspects of -the cards operation; right now the pcwd driver is the only one -supporting this ioctl. +the cards operation. int options = 0; - ioctl(fd, WDIOC_SETOPTIONS, options); + ioctl(fd, WDIOC_SETOPTIONS, &options); The following options are available: |
