2014-03-07powerpc/powernv Platform dump interfaceStewart Smith
This enables support for userspace to fetch and initiate FSP and Platform dumps from the service processor (via firmware) through sysfs. Based on original patch from Vasant Hegde <hegdevasant@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Flow: - We register for OPAL notification events. - OPAL sends new dump available notification. - We make information on dump available via sysfs - Userspace requests dump contents - We retrieve the dump via OPAL interface - User copies the dump data - userspace sends ack for dump - We send ACK to OPAL. sysfs files: - We add the /sys/firmware/opal/dump directory - echoing 1 (well, anything, but in future we may support different dump types) to /sys/firmware/opal/dump/initiate_dump will initiate a dump. - Each dump that we've been notified of gets a directory in /sys/firmware/opal/dump/ with a name of the dump type and ID (in hex, as this is what's used elsewhere to identify the dump). - Each dump has files: id, type, dump and acknowledge dump is binary and is the dump itself. echoing 'ack' to acknowledge (currently any string will do) will acknowledge the dump and it will soon after disappear from sysfs. OPAL APIs: - opal_dump_init() - opal_dump_info() - opal_dump_read() - opal_dump_ack() - opal_dump_resend_notification() Currently we are only ever notified for one dump at a time (until the user explicitly acks the current dump, then we get a notification of the next dump), but this kernel code should "just work" when OPAL starts notifying us of all the dumps present.

2014-03-07powerpc/powernv: Read OPAL error log and export it through sysfsStewart Smith
Based on a patch by: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com> This patch adds support to read error logs from OPAL and export them to userspace through a sysfs interface. We export each log entry as a directory in /sys/firmware/opal/elog/ Currently, OPAL will buffer up to 128 error log records, we don't need to have any knowledge of this limit on the Linux side as that is actually largely transparent to us. Each error log entry has the following files: id, type, acknowledge, raw. Currently we just export the raw binary error log in the 'raw' attribute. In a future patch, we may parse more of the error log to make it a bit easier for userspace (e.g. to be able to display a brief summary in petitboot without having to have a full parser). If we have >128 logs from OPAL, we'll only be notified of 128 until userspace starts acknowledging them. This limitation may be lifted in the future and with this patch, that should "just work" from the linux side. A userspace daemon should: - wait for error log entries using normal mechanisms (we announce creation) - read error log entry - save error log entry safely to disk - acknowledge the error log entry - rinse, repeat. On the Linux side, we read the error log when we're notified of it. This possibly isn't ideal as it would be better to only read them on-demand. However, this doesn't really work with current OPAL interface, so we read the error log immediately when notified at the moment. I've tested this pretty extensively and am rather confident that the linux side of things works rather well. There is currently an issue with the service processor side of things for >128 error logs though.

This includes: - Support for implementing fast_io_fail_tmo, the time that should elapse after having detected a transport layer problem and before failing I/O. - Support for implementing dev_loss_tmo, the time that should elapse after having detected a transport layer problem and before removing a remote port.

Several InfiniBand HCAs allow configuring the completion vector per CQ.

In other words, configuring the completion vector properly not only allows reducing latency on an initiator connected to multiple SRP targets but also allows improving throughput.

2012-07-20Documentation: Add newline at end-of-file to files lacking oneJesper Juhl
This patch simply adds a newline character at end-of-file to those files in Documentation/ that currently lack one. This is done for a few different reasons: A) It's rather annoying when you do "cat some_file.txt" that your prompt/cursor ends up at the end of the last line of output rather than on a new line. B) Some tools that process files line-by-line may get confused by the lack of a newline on the last line. C) The "\ No newline at end of file" line in diffs annoys me for some reason. So, let's just add the missing newline once and for all. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jj@chaosbits.net> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>

2008-04-18ocfs2: Move /sys/o2cb to /sys/fs/o2cbMark Fasheh
/sys/fs is where we really want file system specific sysfs objects. Ocfs2-tools has been updated to look in /sys/fs/o2cb. We can maintain backwards compatibility with old ocfs2-tools by using a sysfs symlink. After some time (2 years), the symlink can be safely removed. This patch also adds documentation to make it easier for people to figure out what /sys/fs/o2cb is used for. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>
