+Description:	The /sys/dev tree provides a method to look up the sysfs
+		path for a device using the information returned from
+		stat(2).  There are two directories, 'block' and 'char',
+		beneath /sys/dev containing symbolic links with names of

+		corresponding sysfs path for the given device.
+
+		Example:
+		$ readlink /sys/dev/block/8:32
+		../../block/sdc
+
+		Entries in /sys/dev/char and /sys/dev/block will be
+		dynamically created and destroyed as devices enter and

+A generic digital 24-port PCI GPIO card can be built out of an ordinary
+Brooktree bt848, bt849, bt878 or bt879 based analog TV tuner card. The
+Brooktree chip is used in old analog Hauppauge WinTV PCI cards. You can easily

+SH7760/SH7763 integrated LCDC Framebuffer driver
+================================================
+
+0. Overwiew
+-----------
+The SH7760/SH7763 have an integrated LCD Display controller (LCDC) which
+supports (in theory) resolutions ranging from 1x1 to 1024x1024,
+with color depths ranging from 1 to 16 bits, on STN, DSTN and TFT Panels.
+
+Caveats:
+* Framebuffer memory must be a large chunk allocated at the top
+  of Area3 (HW requirement). Because of this requirement you should NOT
+  make the driver a module since at runtime it may become impossible to
+  get a large enough contiguous chunk of memory.
+
+* The driver does not support changing resolution while loaded
+  (displays aren't hotpluggable anyway)
+
+* Heavy flickering may be observed
+  a) if you're using 15/16bit color modes at >= 640x480 px resolutions,
+  b) during PCMCIA (or any other slow bus) activity.
+
+* Rotation works only 90degress clockwise, and only if horizontal
+  resolution is <= 320 pixels.

+
+1. Platform setup
+-----------------
+SH7760:
+ Video data is fetched via the DMABRG DMA engine, so you have to
+ configure the SH DMAC for DMABRG mode (write 0x94808080 to the
+ DMARSRA register somewhere at boot).
+
+ PFC registers PCCR and PCDR must be set to peripheral mode.
+ (write zeros to both).
+
+The driver does NOT do the above for you since board setup is, well, job
+of the board setup code.
+
+2. Panel definitions
+--------------------
+The LCDC must explicitly be told about the type of LCD panel
+attached.  Data must be wrapped in a "struct sh7760fb_platdata" and
+passed to the driver as platform_data.

+All families are accelerated. Only PCI/AGP based cards are supported,
+none of the older Tridents.
+The driver supports 8, 16 and 32 bits per pixel depths.
+The TGUI family requires a line length to be power of 2 if acceleration
+is enabled. This means that range of possible resolutions and bpp is
+limited comparing to the range if acceleration is disabled (see list
+of parameters below).
+
+Known bugs:
+1. The driver randomly locks up on 3DImage975 chip with acceleration
+   enabled. The same happens in X11 (Xorg).
+2. The ramdac speeds require some more fine tuning. It is possible to

+Optimized MPEG Filesystem (OMFS)
+
+Overview
+========
+
+OMFS is a filesystem created by SonicBlue for use in the ReplayTV DVR
+and Rio Karma MP3 player.  The filesystem is extent-based, utilizing
+block sizes from 2k to 8k, with hash-based directories.  This
+filesystem driver may be used to read and write disks from these
+devices.
+
+Note, it is not recommended that this FS be used in place of a general
+filesystem for your own streaming media device.  Native Linux filesystems
+will likely perform better.
+
+More information is available at:
+
+    http://linux-karma.sf.net/
+
+Various utilities, including mkomfs and omfsck, are included with
+omfsprogs, available at:
+
+    http://bobcopeland.com/karma/
+
+Instructions are included in its README.
+
+Options
+=======
+
+OMFS supports the following mount-time options:
+
+    uid=n        - make all files owned by specified user
+    gid=n        - make all files owned by specified group
+    umask=xxx    - set permission umask to xxx
+    fmask=xxx    - set umask to xxx for files
+    dmask=xxx    - set umask to xxx for directories
+
+Disk format
+===========
+
+OMFS discriminates between "sysblocks" and normal data blocks.  The sysblock
+group consists of super block information, file metadata, directory structures,
+and extents.  Each sysblock has a header containing CRCs of the entire
+sysblock, and may be mirrored in successive blocks on the disk.  A sysblock may
+have a smaller size than a data block, but since they are both addressed by the
+same 64-bit block number, any remaining space in the smaller sysblock is
+unused.
+
+Sysblock header information:
+
+struct omfs_header {
+        __be64 h_self;                  /* FS block where this is located */
+        __be32 h_body_size;             /* size of useful data after header */
+        __be16 h_crc;                   /* crc-ccitt of body_size bytes */
+        char h_fill1[2];
+        u8 h_version;                   /* version, always 1 */
+        char h_type;                    /* OMFS_INODE_X */
+        u8 h_magic;                     /* OMFS_IMAGIC */
+        u8 h_check_xor;                 /* XOR of header bytes before this */
+        __be32 h_fill2;
+};
+
+Files and directories are both represented by omfs_inode:
+
+struct omfs_inode {
+        struct omfs_header i_head;      /* header */
+        __be64 i_parent;                /* parent containing this inode */
+        __be64 i_sibling;               /* next inode in hash bucket */
+        __be64 i_ctime;                 /* ctime, in milliseconds */
+        char i_fill1[35];
+        char i_type;                    /* OMFS_[DIR,FILE] */
+        __be32 i_fill2;
+        char i_fill3[64];
+        char i_name[OMFS_NAMELEN];      /* filename */
+        __be64 i_size;                  /* size of file, in bytes */
+};
+
+Directories in OMFS are implemented as a large hash table.  Filenames are
+hashed then prepended into the bucket list beginning at OMFS_DIR_START.
+Lookup requires hashing the filename, then seeking across i_sibling pointers
+until a match is found on i_name.  Empty buckets are represented by block
+pointers with all-1s (~0).
+
+A file is an omfs_inode structure followed by an extent table beginning at
+OMFS_EXTENT_START:
+
+struct omfs_extent_entry {
+        __be64 e_cluster;               /* start location of a set of blocks */
+        __be64 e_blocks;                /* number of blocks after e_cluster */
+};
+
+struct omfs_extent {
+        __be64 e_next;                  /* next extent table location */
+        __be32 e_extent_count;          /* total # extents in this table */
+        __be32 e_fill;
+        struct omfs_extent_entry e_entry;       /* start of extent entries */
+};
+
+Each extent holds the block offset followed by number of blocks allocated to
+the extent.  The final extent in each table is a terminator with e_cluster
+being ~0 and e_blocks being ones'-complement of the total number of blocks
+in the table.
+
+If this table overflows, a continuation inode is written and pointed to by
+e_next.  These have a header but lack the rest of the inode structure.

+
+
+Sysfs Interface for Userspace (OPTIONAL)
+========================================
+Platforms which use the "gpiolib" implementors framework may choose to
+configure a sysfs user interface to GPIOs.  This is different from the
+debugfs interface, since it provides control over GPIO direction and
+value instead of just showing a gpio state summary.  Plus, it could be
+present on production systems without debugging support.
+
+Given approprate hardware documentation for the system, userspace could
+know for example that GPIO #23 controls the write protect line used to
+protect boot loader segments in flash memory.  System upgrade procedures
+may need to temporarily remove that protection, first importing a GPIO,
+then changing its output state, then updating the code before re-enabling
+the write protection.  In normal use, GPIO #23 would never be touched,
+and the kernel would have no need to know about it.
+
+Again depending on appropriate hardware documentation, on some systems
+userspace GPIO can be used to determine system configuration data that
+standard kernels won't know about.  And for some tasks, simple userspace
+GPIO drivers could be all that the system really needs.
+
+Note that standard kernel drivers exist for common "LEDs and Buttons"
+GPIO tasks:  "leds-gpio" and "gpio_keys", respectively.  Use those
+instead of talking directly to the GPIOs; they integrate with kernel
+frameworks better than your userspace code could.
+
+
+Paths in Sysfs
+--------------
+There are three kinds of entry in /sys/class/gpio:
+
+   -	Control interfaces used to get userspace control over GPIOs;
+
+   -	GPIOs themselves; and
+
+   -	GPIO controllers ("gpio_chip" instances).
+
+That's in addition to standard files including the "device" symlink.
+
+The control interfaces are write-only:
+
+    /sys/class/gpio/
+
+    	"export" ... Userspace may ask the kernel to export control of
+		a GPIO to userspace by writing its number to this file.
+
+		Example:  "echo 19 > export" will create a "gpio19" node
+		for GPIO #19, if that's not requested by kernel code.
+
+    	"unexport" ... Reverses the effect of exporting to userspace.
+
+		Example:  "echo 19 > unexport" will remove a "gpio19"
+		node exported using the "export" file.
+
+GPIO signals have paths like /sys/class/gpio/gpio42/ (for GPIO #42)
+and have the following read/write attributes:
+
+    /sys/class/gpio/gpioN/
+
+	"direction" ... reads as either "in" or "out".  This value may
+		normally be written.  Writing as "out" defaults to
+		initializing the value as low.  To ensure glitch free
+		operation, values "low" and "high" may be written to
+		configure the GPIO as an output with that initial value.
+
+		Note that this attribute *will not exist* if the kernel
+		doesn't support changing the direction of a GPIO, or
+		it was exported by kernel code that didn't explicitly
+		allow userspace to reconfigure this GPIO's direction.
+
+	"value" ... reads as either 0 (low) or 1 (high).  If the GPIO
+		is configured as an output, this value may be written;
+		any nonzero value is treated as high.
+
+GPIO controllers have paths like /sys/class/gpio/chipchip42/ (for the
+controller implementing GPIOs starting at #42) and have the following
+read-only attributes:
+
+    /sys/class/gpio/gpiochipN/
+
+    	"base" ... same as N, the first GPIO managed by this chip
+
+    	"label" ... provided for diagnostics (not always unique)
+
+    	"ngpio" ... how many GPIOs this manges (N to N + ngpio - 1)
+
+Board documentation should in most cases cover what GPIOs are used for
+what purposes.  However, those numbers are not always stable; GPIOs on
+a daughtercard might be different depending on the base board being used,
+or other cards in the stack.  In such cases, you may need to use the
+gpiochip nodes (possibly in conjunction with schematics) to determine
+the correct GPIO number to use for a given signal.
+
+
+Exporting from Kernel code
+--------------------------
+Kernel code can explicitly manage exports of GPIOs which have already been
+requested using gpio_request():
+
+	/* export the GPIO to userspace */
+	int gpio_export(unsigned gpio, bool direction_may_change);
+
+	/* reverse gpio_export() */
+	void gpio_unexport();
+
+After a kernel driver requests a GPIO, it may only be made available in
+the sysfs interface by gpio_export().  The driver can control whether the
+signal direction may change.  This helps drivers prevent userspace code
+from accidentally clobbering important system state.
+
+This explicit exporting can help with debugging (by making some kinds
+of experiments easier), or can provide an always-there interface that's
+suitable for documenting as part of a board support package.

+as follows:

+

+
+Change the name of example_attach to example_probe to align it with the
+i2c_driver entry names. The rest of the probe routine will now need to be
+changed as the i2c_client has already been setup for use.
+
+The necessary client fields have already been setup before

+-	example->client.addr    = addr;
+-	example->client.flags   = 0;
+-	example->client.adapter = adap;
+-
+-	strlcpy(client->i2c_client.name, "example", I2C_NAME_SIZE);
+
+The i2c_set_clientdata is now:
+
+-	i2c_set_clientdata(&state->client, state);
++	i2c_set_clientdata(client, state);
+
+The call to i2c_attach_client is no longer needed, if the probe
+routine exits successfully, then the driver will be automatically
+attached by the core. Change the probe routine as so:
+
+-	ret = i2c_attach_client(&state->i2c_client);
+-	if (ret < 0) {
+-		dev_err(dev, "failed to attach client\n");
+-		kfree(state);

+-	}
+
+
+Remove the storage of 'struct i2c_client' from the 'struct example_state'
+as we are provided with the i2c_client in our example_probe. Instead we
+store a pointer to it for when it is needed.
+
+struct example_state {
+-	struct i2c_client	client;

+
+-	struct device *dev = &adap->dev;  /* to use for dev_ reports */
++ 	struct device *dev = &i2c_client->dev;  /* to use for dev_ reports */
+
+And remove the change after our client is attached, as the driver no
+longer needs to register a new client structure with the core:
+
+-	dev = &state->i2c_client.dev;
+
+In the probe routine, ensure that the new state has the client stored
+in it:
+

+		return -ENOMEM;
+	}
+
++	state->client = i2c_client;
+
+Update the detach method, by changing the name to _remove and

+Paravirt_ops on IA64
+====================
+                          21 May 2008, Isaku Yamahata <yamahata@valinux.co.jp>
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+The aim of this documentation is to help with maintainability and/or to
+encourage people to use paravirt_ops/IA64.
+
+paravirt_ops (pv_ops in short) is a way for virtualization support of
+Linux kernel on x86. Several ways for virtualization support were
+proposed, paravirt_ops is the winner.
+On the other hand, now there are also several IA64 virtualization
+technologies like kvm/IA64, xen/IA64 and many other academic IA64
+hypervisors so that it is good to add generic virtualization
+infrastructure on Linux/IA64.
+
+
+What is paravirt_ops?
+---------------------
+It has been developed on x86 as virtualization support via API, not ABI.
+It allows each hypervisor to override operations which are important for
+hypervisors at API level. And it allows a single kernel binary to run on
+all supported execution environments including native machine.
+Essentially paravirt_ops is a set of function pointers which represent
+operations corresponding to low level sensitive instructions and high
+level functionalities in various area. But one significant difference
+from usual function pointer table is that it allows optimization with
+binary patch. It is because some of these operations are very
+performance sensitive and indirect call overhead is not negligible.
+With binary patch, indirect C function call can be transformed into
+direct C function call or in-place execution to eliminate the overhead.
+
+Thus, operations of paravirt_ops are classified into three categories.
+- simple indirect call
+  These operations correspond to high level functionality so that the
+  overhead of indirect call isn't very important.
+
+- indirect call which allows optimization with binary patch
+  Usually these operations correspond to low level instructions. They
+  are called frequently and performance critical. So the overhead is
+  very important.
+
+- a set of macros for hand written assembly code
+  Hand written assembly codes (.S files) also need paravirtualization
+  because they include sensitive instructions or some of code paths in
+  them are very performance critical.
+
+
+The relation to the IA64 machine vector
+---------------------------------------
+Linux/IA64 has the IA64 machine vector functionality which allows the
+kernel to switch implementations (e.g. initialization, ipi, dma api...)
+depending on executing platform.
+We can replace some implementations very easily defining a new machine
+vector. Thus another approach for virtualization support would be
+enhancing the machine vector functionality.
+But paravirt_ops approach was taken because
+- virtualization support needs wider support than machine vector does.
+  e.g. low level instruction paravirtualization. It must be
+       initialized very early before platform detection.
+
+- virtualization support needs more functionality like binary patch.
+  Probably the calling overhead might not be very large compared to the
+  emulation overhead of virtualization. However in the native case, the
+  overhead should be eliminated completely.
+  A single kernel binary should run on each environment including native,
+  and the overhead of paravirt_ops on native environment should be as
+  small as possible.
+
+- for full virtualization technology, e.g. KVM/IA64 or
+  Xen/IA64 HVM domain, the result would be
+  (the emulated platform machine vector. probably dig) + (pv_ops).
+  This means that the virtualization support layer should be under
+  the machine vector layer.
+
+Possibly it might be better to move some function pointers from
+paravirt_ops to machine vector. In fact, Xen domU case utilizes both
+pv_ops and machine vector.
+
+
+IA64 paravirt_ops
+-----------------
+In this section, the concrete paravirt_ops will be discussed.
+Because of the architecture difference between ia64 and x86, the
+resulting set of functions is very different from x86 pv_ops.
+
+- C function pointer tables
+They are not very performance critical so that simple C indirect
+function call is acceptable. The following structures are defined at
+this moment. For details see linux/include/asm-ia64/paravirt.h
+  - struct pv_info
+    This structure describes the execution environment.
+  - struct pv_init_ops
+    This structure describes the various initialization hooks.
+  - struct pv_iosapic_ops
+    This structure describes hooks to iosapic operations.
+  - struct pv_irq_ops
+    This structure describes hooks to irq related operations
+  - struct pv_time_op
+    This structure describes hooks to steal time accounting.
+
+- a set of indirect calls which need optimization
+Currently this class of functions correspond to a subset of IA64
+intrinsics. At this moment the optimization with binary patch isn't
+implemented yet.
+struct pv_cpu_op is defined. For details see
+linux/include/asm-ia64/paravirt_privop.h
+Mostly they correspond to ia64 intrinsics 1-to-1.
+Caveat: Now they are defined as C indirect function pointers, but in
+order to support binary patch optimization, they will be changed
+using GCC extended inline assembly code.
+
+- a set of macros for hand written assembly code (.S files)
+For maintenance purpose, the taken approach for .S files is single
+source code and compile multiple times with different macros definitions.
+Each pv_ops instance must define those macros to compile.
+The important thing here is that sensitive, but non-privileged
+instructions must be paravirtualized and that some privileged
+instructions also need paravirtualization for reasonable performance.
+Developers who modify .S files must be aware of that. At this moment
+an easy checker is implemented to detect paravirtualization breakage.
+But it doesn't cover all the cases.
+
+Sometimes this set of macros is called pv_cpu_asm_op. But there is no
+corresponding structure in the source code.
+Those macros mostly 1:1 correspond to a subset of privileged
+instructions. See linux/include/asm-ia64/native/inst.h.
+And some functions written in assembly also need to be overrided so
+that each pv_ops instance have to define some macros. Again see
+linux/include/asm-ia64/native/inst.h.
+
+
+Those structures must be initialized very early before start_kernel.
+Probably initialized in head.S using multi entry point or some other trick.
+For native case implementation see linux/arch/ia64/kernel/paravirt.c.

+DM9000 Network driver
+=====================
+
+Copyright 2008 Simtec Electronics,
+	  Ben Dooks <ben@simtec.co.uk> <ben-linux@fluff.org>
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+This file describes how to use the DM9000 platform-device based network driver
+that is contained in the files drivers/net/dm9000.c and drivers/net/dm9000.h.
+
+The driver supports three DM9000 variants, the DM9000E which is the first chip
+supported as well as the newer DM9000A and DM9000B devices. It is currently
+maintained and tested by Ben Dooks, who should be CC: to any patches for this
+driver.
+
+
+Defining the platform device
+----------------------------
+
+The minimum set of resources attached to the platform device are as follows:
+
+    1) The physical address of the address register
+    2) The physical address of the data register
+    3) The IRQ line the device's interrupt pin is connected to.
+
+These resources should be specified in that order, as the ordering of the
+two address regions is important (the driver expects these to be address
+and then data).
+
+An example from arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/mach-bast.c is:
+
+static struct resource bast_dm9k_resource[] = {
+	[0] = {
+		.start = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000,
+		.end   = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000 + 3,
+		.flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
+	},
+	[1] = {
+		.start = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000 + 0x40,
+		.end   = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000 + 0x40 + 0x3f,
+		.flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
+	},
+	[2] = {
+		.start = IRQ_DM9000,
+		.end   = IRQ_DM9000,
+		.flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ | IORESOURCE_IRQ_HIGHLEVEL,
+	}
+};
+
+static struct platform_device bast_device_dm9k = {
+	.name		= "dm9000",
+	.id		= 0,
+	.num_resources	= ARRAY_SIZE(bast_dm9k_resource),
+	.resource	= bast_dm9k_resource,
+};
+
+Note the setting of the IRQ trigger flag in bast_dm9k_resource[2].flags,
+as this will generate a warning if it is not present. The trigger from
+the flags field will be passed to request_irq() when registering the IRQ
+handler to ensure that the IRQ is setup correctly.
+
+This shows a typical platform device, without the optional configuration
+platform data supplied. The next example uses the same resources, but adds
+the optional platform data to pass extra configuration data:
+
+static struct dm9000_plat_data bast_dm9k_platdata = {
+	.flags		= DM9000_PLATF_16BITONLY,
+};
+
+static struct platform_device bast_device_dm9k = {
+	.name		= "dm9000",
+	.id		= 0,
+	.num_resources	= ARRAY_SIZE(bast_dm9k_resource),
+	.resource	= bast_dm9k_resource,
+	.dev		= {
+		.platform_data = &bast_dm9k_platdata,
+	}
+};
+
+The platform data is defined in include/linux/dm9000.h and described below.
+
+
+Platform data
+-------------
+
+Extra platform data for the DM9000 can describe the IO bus width to the
+device, whether or not an external PHY is attached to the device and
+the availability of an external configuration EEPROM.
+
+The flags for the platform data .flags field are as follows:
+
+DM9000_PLATF_8BITONLY
+
+	The IO should be done with 8bit operations.
+
+DM9000_PLATF_16BITONLY
+
+	The IO should be done with 16bit operations.
+
+DM9000_PLATF_32BITONLY
+
+	The IO should be done with 32bit operations.
+
+DM9000_PLATF_EXT_PHY
+
+	The chip is connected to an external PHY.
+
+DM9000_PLATF_NO_EEPROM
+
+	This can be used to signify that the board does not have an
+	EEPROM, or that the EEPROM should be hidden from the user.
+
+DM9000_PLATF_SIMPLE_PHY
+
+	Switch to using the simpler PHY polling method which does not
+	try and read the MII PHY state regularly. This is only available
+	when using the internal PHY. See the section on link state polling
+	for more information.
+
+	The config symbol DM9000_FORCE_SIMPLE_PHY_POLL, Kconfig entry
+	"Force simple NSR based PHY polling" allows this flag to be
+	forced on at build time.
+
+
+PHY Link state polling
+----------------------
+
+The driver keeps track of the link state and informs the network core
+about link (carrier) availablilty. This is managed by several methods
+depending on the version of the chip and on which PHY is being used.
+
+For the internal PHY, the original (and currently default) method is
+to read the MII state, either when the status changes if we have the
+necessary interrupt support in the chip or every two seconds via a
+periodic timer.
+
+To reduce the overhead for the internal PHY, there is now the option
+of using the DM9000_FORCE_SIMPLE_PHY_POLL config, or DM9000_PLATF_SIMPLE_PHY
+platform data option to read the summary information without the
+expensive MII accesses. This method is faster, but does not print
+as much information.
+
+When using an external PHY, the driver currently has to poll the MII
+link status as there is no method for getting an interrupt on link change.
+
+
+DM9000A / DM9000B
+-----------------
+
+These chips are functionally similar to the DM9000E and are supported easily
+by the same driver. The features are:
+
+   1) Interrupt on internal PHY state change. This means that the periodic
+      polling of the PHY status may be disabled on these devices when using
+      the internal PHY.
+
+   2) TCP/UDP checksum offloading, which the driver does not currently support.
+
+
+ethtool
+-------
+
+The driver supports the ethtool interface for access to the driver
+state information, the PHY state and the EEPROM.

+
+     insmod /lib/modules/<KERNEL VERSION>/kernel/drivers/net/ixgb/ixgb.ko
+
+   With 2.6 based kernels also make sure that older ixgb drivers are
+   removed from the kernel, before loading the new module:
+
+     rmmod ixgb; modprobe ixgb
+
+3. Assign an IP address to the interface by entering the following, where
+   x is the interface number:
+
+     ifconfig ethx <IP_address>
+
+4. Verify that the interface works. Enter the following, where <IP_address>
+   is the IP address for another machine on the same subnet as the interface
+   that is being tested:
+
+     ping  <IP_address>

 Resolving Slow UDP Traffic

+
+Additional Configurations
+=========================
+
+  Configuring the Driver on Different Distributions
+  -------------------------------------------------
+  Configuring a network driver to load properly when the system is started is
+  distribution dependent. Typically, the configuration process involves adding
+  an alias line to /etc/modprobe.conf as well as editing other system startup
+  scripts and/or configuration files.  Many popular Linux distributions ship
+  with tools to make these changes for you.  To learn the proper way to
+  configure a network device for your system, refer to your distribution
+  documentation.  If during this process you are asked for the driver or module
+  name, the name for the Linux Base Driver for the Intel 10GbE Family of
+  Adapters is ixgb.
+
+  Viewing Link Messages
+  ---------------------
+  Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is
+  restricting system messages. In order to see network driver link messages on
+  your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following:
+
+       dmesg -n 8
+
+  NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots.
+
+
+  Jumbo Frames
+  ------------
+  The driver supports Jumbo Frames for all adapters. Jumbo Frames support is
+  enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than the default of 1500.
+  The maximum value for the MTU is 16114.  Use the ifconfig command to
+  increase the MTU size.  For example:
+
+        ifconfig ethx mtu 9000 up
+
+  The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 16114.  This value coincides
+  with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 16128.
+
+
+  Ethtool
+  -------
+  The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
+  diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information.  Ethtool
+  version 1.6 or later is required for this functionality.
+
+  The latest release of ethtool can be found from
+  http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel
+
+  NOTE: Ethtool 1.6 only supports a limited set of ethtool options. Support
+        for a more complete ethtool feature set can be enabled by upgrading
+        to the latest version.
+
+
+  NAPI
+  ----
+
+  NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the ixgb driver.  NAPI is enabled
+  or disabled based on the configuration of the kernel.  see CONFIG_IXGB_NAPI
+
+  See www.cyberus.ca/~hadi/usenix-paper.tgz for more information on NAPI.
+
+
+Known Issues/Troubleshooting
+============================
+
+  NOTE: After installing the driver, if your Intel Network Connection is not
+  working, verify in the "In This Release" section of the readme that you have
+  installed the correct driver.
+
+  Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter Cable Interoperability Issue with
+  Fujitsu XENPAK Module in SmartBits Chassis
+  ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+  Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4
+  Server adapter is connected to a Fujitsu XENPAK CX4 module in a SmartBits
+  chassis using 15 m/24AWG cable assemblies manufactured by Fujitsu or Leoni.
+  The CRC errors may be received either by the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4
+  Server adapter or the SmartBits. If this situation occurs using a different
+  cable assembly may resolve the issue.
+
+  CX4 Server Adapter Cable Interoperability Issues with HP Procurve 3400cl
+  Switch Port
+  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
+  Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4 Server
+  adapter is connected to an HP Procurve 3400cl switch port using short cables
+  (1 m or shorter). If this situation occurs, using a longer cable may resolve
+  the issue.
+
+  Excessive CRC errors may be observed using Fujitsu 24AWG cable assemblies that
+  Are 10 m or longer or where using a Leoni 15 m/24AWG cable assembly. The CRC
+  errors may be received either by the CX4 Server adapter or at the switch. If
+  this situation occurs, using a different cable assembly may resolve the issue.
+
+
+  Jumbo Frames System Requirement
+  -------------------------------
+  Memory allocation failures have been observed on Linux systems with 64 MB
+  of RAM or less that are running Jumbo Frames.  If you are using Jumbo
+  Frames, your system may require more than the advertised minimum
+  requirement of 64 MB of system memory.
+
+
+  Performance Degradation with Jumbo Frames
+  -----------------------------------------
+  Degradation in throughput performance may be observed in some Jumbo frames
+  environments.  If this is observed, increasing the application's socket buffer
+  size and/or increasing the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_*mem entry values may help.
+  See the specific application manual and /usr/src/linux*/Documentation/
+  networking/ip-sysctl.txt for more details.
+
+
+  Allocating Rx Buffers when Using Jumbo Frames
+  ---------------------------------------------
+  Allocating Rx buffers when using Jumbo Frames on 2.6.x kernels may fail if
+  the available memory is heavily fragmented. This issue may be seen with PCI-X
+  adapters or with packet split disabled. This can be reduced or eliminated
+  by changing the amount of available memory for receive buffer allocation, by
+  increasing /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes.
+
+
+  Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network
+  ------------------------------------------------------
+  Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have
+  one system on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain
+  (non-partitioned switch) behave as expected.  All Ethernet interfaces
+  will respond to IP traffic for any IP address assigned to the system.
+  This results in unbalanced receive traffic.
+
+  If you have multiple interfaces in a server, do either of the following:
+
+  - Turn on ARP filtering by entering:
+      echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter
+
+  - Install the interfaces in separate broadcast domains - either in
+    different switches or in a switch partitioned to VLANs.
+
+
+  UDP Stress Test Dropped Packet Issue
+  --------------------------------------
+  Under small packets UDP stress test with 10GbE driver, the Linux system
+  may drop UDP packets due to the fullness of socket buffers. You may want
+  to change the driver's Flow Control variables to the minimum value for
+  controlling packet reception.
+
+
+  Tx Hangs Possible Under Stress
+  ------------------------------
+  Under stress conditions, if TX hangs occur, turning off TSO
+  "ethtool -K eth0 tso off" may resolve the problem.

+Introduction
+
+mac80211_hwsim is a Linux kernel module that can be used to simulate
+arbitrary number of IEEE 802.11 radios for mac80211. It can be used to
+test most of the mac80211 functionality and user space tools (e.g.,
+hostapd and wpa_supplicant) in a way that matches very closely with
+the normal case of using real WLAN hardware. From the mac80211 view
+point, mac80211_hwsim is yet another hardware driver, i.e., no changes
+to mac80211 are needed to use this testing tool.
+
+The main goal for mac80211_hwsim is to make it easier for developers
+to test their code and work with new features to mac80211, hostapd,
+and wpa_supplicant. The simulated radios do not have the limitations
+of real hardware, so it is easy to generate an arbitrary test setup
+and always reproduce the same setup for future tests. In addition,
+since all radio operation is simulated, any channel can be used in
+tests regardless of regulatory rules.
+
+mac80211_hwsim kernel module has a parameter 'radios' that can be used
+to select how many radios are simulated (default 2). This allows
+configuration of both very simply setups (e.g., just a single access
+point and a station) or large scale tests (multiple access points with
+hundreds of stations).
+
+mac80211_hwsim works by tracking the current channel of each virtual
+radio and copying all transmitted frames to all other radios that are
+currently enabled and on the same channel as the transmitting
+radio. Software encryption in mac80211 is used so that the frames are
+actually encrypted over the virtual air interface to allow more
+complete testing of encryption.
+
+A global monitoring netdev, hwsim#, is created independent of
+mac80211. This interface can be used to monitor all transmitted frames
+regardless of channel.

-Finally, the base driver should indicate that it is a multiqueue device.  The

-		netdev->features |= NETIF_F_MULTI_QUEUE;
-#endif

-
-Section 2: Qdisc support for multiqueue devices
------------------------------------------------
-
-Currently two qdiscs support multiqueue devices.  A new round-robin qdisc,
-sch_rr, and sch_prio. The qdisc is responsible for classifying the skb's to
-bands and queues, and will store the queue mapping into skb->queue_mapping.
-Use this field in the base driver to determine which queue to send the skb
-to.
-
-sch_rr has been added for hardware that doesn't want scheduling policies from
-software, so it's a straight round-robin qdisc.  It uses the same syntax and
-classification priomap that sch_prio uses, so it should be intuitive to
-configure for people who've used sch_prio.
-
-In order to utilitize the multiqueue features of the qdiscs, the network
-device layer needs to enable multiple queue support.  This can be done by
-selecting NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE under Drivers.
-
-The PRIO qdisc naturally plugs into a multiqueue device.  If
-NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE is selected, then on qdisc load, the number of
-bands requested is compared to the number of queues on the hardware.  If they
-are equal, it sets a one-to-one mapping up between the queues and bands.  If
-they're not equal, it will not load the qdisc.  This is the same behavior
-for RR.  Once the association is made, any skb that is classified will have
-skb->queue_mapping set, which will allow the driver to properly queue skb's
-to multiple queues.
-
-
-Section 3: Brief howto using PRIO and RR for multiqueue devices
----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The userspace command 'tc,' part of the iproute2 package, is used to configure
-qdiscs.  To add the PRIO qdisc to your network device, assuming the device is
-called eth0, run the following command:
-
-# tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: prio bands 4 multiqueue
-
-This will create 4 bands, 0 being highest priority, and associate those bands
-to the queues on your NIC.  Assuming eth0 has 4 Tx queues, the band mapping
-would look like:
-
-band 0 => queue 0
-band 1 => queue 1
-band 2 => queue 2
-band 3 => queue 3
-
-Traffic will begin flowing through each queue if your TOS values are assigning
-traffic across the various bands.  For example, ssh traffic will always try to
-go out band 0 based on TOS -> Linux priority conversion (realtime traffic),
-so it will be sent out queue 0.  ICMP traffic (pings) fall into the "normal"
-traffic classification, which is band 1.  Therefore pings will be send out
-queue 1 on the NIC.
-
-Note the use of the multiqueue keyword.  This is only in versions of iproute2
-that support multiqueue networking devices; if this is omitted when loading
-a qdisc onto a multiqueue device, the qdisc will load and operate the same
-if it were loaded onto a single-queue device (i.e. - sends all traffic to
-queue 0).
-
-Another alternative to multiqueue band allocation can be done by using the
-multiqueue option and specify 0 bands.  If this is the case, the qdisc will
-allocate the number of bands to equal the number of queues that the device
-reports, and bring the qdisc online.
-
-The behavior of tc filters remains the same, where it will override TOS priority
-classification.

+APM or ACPI?
+------------
+If you have a relatively recent x86 mobile, desktop, or server system,
+odds are it supports either Advanced Power Management (APM) or
+Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI).  ACPI is the newer
+of the two technologies and puts power management in the hands of the
+operating system, allowing for more intelligent power management than
+is possible with BIOS controlled APM.
+
+The best way to determine which, if either, your system supports is to
+build a kernel with both ACPI and APM enabled (as of 2.3.x ACPI is
+enabled by default).  If a working ACPI implementation is found, the
+ACPI driver will override and disable APM, otherwise the APM driver
+will be used.
+
+No, sorry, you cannot have both ACPI and APM enabled and running at
+once.  Some people with broken ACPI or broken APM implementations
+would like to use both to get a full set of working features, but you
+simply cannot mix and match the two.  Only one power management
+interface can be in control of the machine at once.  Think about it..
+
+User-space Daemons
+------------------
+Both APM and ACPI rely on user-space daemons, apmd and acpid
+respectively, to be completely functional.  Obtain both of these
+daemons from your Linux distribution or from the Internet (see below)
+and be sure that they are started sometime in the system boot process.
+Go ahead and start both.  If ACPI or APM is not available on your
+system the associated daemon will exit gracefully.

-Driver Interface -- OBSOLETE, DO NOT USE!
-----------------*************************
-
-Note: pm_register(), pm_access(), pm_dev_idle() and friends are
-obsolete. Please do not use them. Instead you should properly hook
-your driver into the driver model, and use its suspend()/resume()
-callbacks to do this kind of stuff.
-
-If you are writing a new driver or maintaining an old driver, it
-should include power management support.  Without power management
-support, a single driver may prevent a system with power management
-capabilities from ever being able to suspend (safely).
-
-Overview:
-1) Register each instance of a device with "pm_register"
-2) Call "pm_access" before accessing the hardware.
-   (this will ensure that the hardware is awake and ready)
-3) Your "pm_callback" is called before going into a
-   suspend state (ACPI D1-D3) or after resuming (ACPI D0)
-   from a suspend.
-4) Call "pm_dev_idle" when the device is not being used
-   (optional but will improve device idle detection)
-5) When unloaded, unregister the device with "pm_unregister"

-Driver Details
---------------
-This is just a quick Q&A as a stopgap until a real driver writers'
-power management guide is available.
-
-Q: When is a device suspended?
-
-Devices can be suspended based on direct user request (eg. laptop lid
-closes), system power policy (eg.  sleep after 30 minutes of console
-inactivity), or device power policy (eg. power down device after 5
-minutes of inactivity)
-
-Q: Must a driver honor a suspend request?
-
-No, a driver can return -EBUSY from a suspend request and this
-will stop the system from suspending.  When a suspend request
-fails, all suspended devices are resumed and the system continues
-to run.  Suspend can be retried at a later time.
-
-Q: Can the driver block suspend/resume requests?
-
-Yes, a driver can delay its return from a suspend or resume
-request until the device is ready to handle requests.  It
-is advantageous to return as quickly as possible from a
-request as suspend/resume are done serially.
-
-Q: What context is a suspend/resume initiated from?
-
-A suspend or resume is initiated from a kernel thread context.
-It is safe to block, allocate memory, initiate requests
-or anything else you can do within the kernel.
-
-Q: Will requests continue to arrive after a suspend?
-
-Possibly.  It is the driver's responsibility to queue(*),
-fail, or drop any requests that arrive after returning
-success to a suspend request.  It is important that the
-driver not access its device until after it receives
-a resume request as the device's bus may no longer
-be active.
-
-(*) If a driver queues requests for processing after
-    resume be aware that the device, network, etc.
-    might be in a different state than at suspend time.
-    It's probably better to drop requests unless
-    the driver is a storage device.
-
-Q: Do I have to manage bus-specific power management registers
-
-No.  It is the responsibility of the bus driver to manage
-PCI, USB, etc. power management registers.  The bus driver
-or the power management subsystem will also enable any
-wake-on functionality that the device has.
-
-Q: So, really, what do I need to do to support suspend/resume?
-
-You need to save any device context that would
-be lost if the device was powered off and then restore
-it at resume time.  When ACPI is active, there are
-three levels of device suspend states; D1, D2, and D3.
-(The suspend state is passed as the "data" argument
-to the device callback.)  With D3, the device is powered
-off and loses all context, D1 and D2 are shallower power
-states and require less device context to be saved.  To
-play it safe, just save everything at suspend and restore
-everything at resume.
-
-Q: Where do I store device context for suspend?
-
-Anywhere in memory, kmalloc a buffer or store it
-in the device descriptor.  You are guaranteed that the
-contents of memory will be restored and accessible
-before resume, even when the system suspends to disk.
-
-Q: What do I need to do for ACPI vs. APM vs. etc?
-
-Drivers need not be aware of the specific power management
-technology that is active.  They just need to be aware
-of when the overlying power management system requests
-that they suspend or resume.
-
-Q: What about device dependencies?
-
-When a driver registers a device, the power management
-subsystem uses the information provided to build a
-tree of device dependencies (eg. USB device X is on
-USB controller Y which is on PCI bus Z)  When power
-management wants to suspend a device, it first sends
-a suspend request to its driver, then the bus driver,
-and so on up to the system bus.  Device resumes
-proceed in the opposite direction.
-
-Q: Who do I contact for additional information about
-   enabling power management for my specific driver/device?
-

-
-System Interface -- OBSOLETE, DO NOT USE!

-If you are providing new power management support to Linux (ie.
-adding support for something like APM or ACPI), you should
-communicate with drivers through the existing generic power
-management interface.

+
+    s) SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) busses
+
+    SPI busses can be described with a node for the SPI master device
+    and a set of child nodes for each SPI slave on the bus.  For this
+    discussion, it is assumed that the system's SPI controller is in
+    SPI master mode.  This binding does not describe SPI controllers
+    in slave mode.
+
+    The SPI master node requires the following properties:
+    - #address-cells  - number of cells required to define a chip select
+			address on the SPI bus.
+    - #size-cells     - should be zero.
+    - compatible      - name of SPI bus controller following generic names
+			recommended practice.
+    No other properties are required in the SPI bus node.  It is assumed
+    that a driver for an SPI bus device will understand that it is an SPI bus.
+    However, the binding does not attempt to define the specific method for
+    assigning chip select numbers.  Since SPI chip select configuration is
+    flexible and non-standardized, it is left out of this binding with the
+    assumption that board specific platform code will be used to manage
+    chip selects.  Individual drivers can define additional properties to
+    support describing the chip select layout.
+
+    SPI slave nodes must be children of the SPI master node and can
+    contain the following properties.
+    - reg             - (required) chip select address of device.
+    - compatible      - (required) name of SPI device following generic names
+			recommended practice
+    - spi-max-frequency - (required) Maximum SPI clocking speed of device in Hz
+    - spi-cpol        - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
+			inverse clock polarity (CPOL) mode
+    - spi-cpha        - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
+			shifted clock phase (CPHA) mode

+X - Specifying Device Power Management Information (sleep property)
+===================================================================
+
+Devices on SOCs often have mechanisms for placing devices into low-power
+states that are decoupled from the devices' own register blocks.  Sometimes,
+this information is more complicated than a cell-index property can
+reasonably describe.  Thus, each device controlled in such a manner
+may contain a "sleep" property which describes these connections.
+
+The sleep property consists of one or more sleep resources, each of
+which consists of a phandle to a sleep controller, followed by a
+controller-specific sleep specifier of zero or more cells.
+
+The semantics of what type of low power modes are possible are defined
+by the sleep controller.  Some examples of the types of low power modes
+that may be supported are:
+
+ - Dynamic: The device may be disabled or enabled at any time.
+ - System Suspend: The device may request to be disabled or remain
+   awake during system suspend, but will not be disabled until then.
+ - Permanent: The device is disabled permanently (until the next hard
+   reset).
+
+Some devices may share a clock domain with each other, such that they should
+only be suspended when none of the devices are in use.  Where reasonable,
+such nodes should be placed on a virtual bus, where the bus has the sleep
+property.  If the clock domain is shared among devices that cannot be
+reasonably grouped in this manner, then create a virtual sleep controller
+(similar to an interrupt nexus, except that defining a standardized
+sleep-map should wait until its necessity is demonstrated).

+
+1. Introduction:
+
+The rfkill switch subsystem exists to add a generic interface to circuitry that
+can enable or disable the signal output of a wireless *transmitter* of any
+type.  By far, the most common use is to disable radio-frequency transmitters.
+
+Note that disabling the signal output means that the the transmitter is to be
+made to not emit any energy when "blocked".  rfkill is not about blocking data
+transmissions, it is about blocking energy emission.
+
+The rfkill subsystem offers support for keys and switches often found on
+laptops to enable wireless devices like WiFi and Bluetooth, so that these keys
+and switches actually perform an action in all wireless devices of a given type
+attached to the system.
+
+The buttons to enable and disable the wireless transmitters are important in
+situations where the user is for example using his laptop on a location where
+radio-frequency transmitters _must_ be disabled (e.g. airplanes).
+
+Because of this requirement, userspace support for the keys should not be made
+mandatory.  Because userspace might want to perform some additional smarter
+tasks when the key is pressed, rfkill provides userspace the possibility to
+take over the task to handle the key events.

+
+Important terms for the rfkill subsystem:
+
+In order to avoid confusion, we avoid the term "switch" in rfkill when it is
+referring to an electronic control circuit that enables or disables a
+transmitter.  We reserve it for the physical device a human manipulates
+(which is an input device, by the way):
+
+rfkill switch:
+
+	A physical device a human manipulates.  Its state can be perceived by
+	the kernel either directly (through a GPIO pin, ACPI GPE) or by its
+	effect on a rfkill line of a wireless device.
+
+rfkill controller:
+
+	A hardware circuit that controls the state of a rfkill line, which a
+	kernel driver can interact with *to modify* that state (i.e. it has
+	either write-only or read/write access).
+
+rfkill line:
+
+	An input channel (hardware or software) of a wireless device, which
+	causes a wireless transmitter to stop emitting energy (BLOCK) when it
+	is active.  Point of view is extremely important here: rfkill lines are
+	always seen from the PoV of a wireless device (and its driver).
+
+soft rfkill line/software rfkill line:
+
+	A rfkill line the wireless device driver can directly change the state
+	of.  Related to rfkill_state RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED.
+
+hard rfkill line/hardware rfkill line:
+
+	A rfkill line that works fully in hardware or firmware, and that cannot
+	be overridden by the kernel driver.  The hardware device or the
+	firmware just exports its status to the driver, but it is read-only.
+	Related to rfkill_state RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED.
+
+The enum rfkill_state describes the rfkill state of a transmitter:
+
+When a rfkill line or rfkill controller is in the RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED state,
+the wireless transmitter (radio TX circuit for example) is *enabled*.  When the
+it is in the RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED or RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED, the
+wireless transmitter is to be *blocked* from operating.
+
+RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED indicates that a call to toggle_radio() can change
+that state.  RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED indicates that a call to toggle_radio()
+will not be able to change the state and will return with a suitable error if
+attempts are made to set the state to RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED.
+
+RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED is used by drivers to signal that the device is
+locked in the BLOCKED state by a hardwire rfkill line (typically an input pin
+that, when active, forces the transmitter to be disabled) which the driver
+CANNOT override.
+
+Full rfkill functionality requires two different subsystems to cooperate: the
+input layer and the rfkill class.  The input layer issues *commands* to the
+entire system requesting that devices registered to the rfkill class change
+state.  The way this interaction happens is not complex, but it is not obvious
+either:
+
+Kernel Input layer:
+
+	* Generates KEY_WWAN, KEY_WLAN, KEY_BLUETOOTH, SW_RFKILL_ALL, and
+	  other such events when the user presses certain keys, buttons, or
+	  toggles certain physical switches.
+
+	THE INPUT LAYER IS NEVER USED TO PROPAGATE STATUS, NOTIFICATIONS OR THE
+	KIND OF STUFF AN ON-SCREEN-DISPLAY APPLICATION WOULD REPORT.  It is
+	used to issue *commands* for the system to change behaviour, and these
+	commands may or may not be carried out by some kernel driver or
+	userspace application.  It follows that doing user feedback based only
+	on input events is broken, as there is no guarantee that an input event
+	will be acted upon.
+
+	Most wireless communication device drivers implementing rfkill
+	functionality MUST NOT generate these events, and have no reason to
+	register themselves with the input layer.  Doing otherwise is a common
+	misconception.  There is an API to propagate rfkill status change
+	information, and it is NOT the input layer.
+
+rfkill class:
+
+	* Calls a hook in a driver to effectively change the wireless
+	  transmitter state;
+	* Keeps track of the wireless transmitter state (with help from
+	  the driver);
+	* Generates userspace notifications (uevents) and a call to a
+	  notification chain (kernel) when there is a wireless transmitter
+	  state change;
+	* Connects a wireless communications driver with the common rfkill
+	  control system, which, for example, allows actions such as
+	  "switch all bluetooth devices offline" to be carried out by
+	  userspace or by rfkill-input.
+
+	THE RFKILL CLASS NEVER ISSUES INPUT EVENTS.  THE RFKILL CLASS DOES
+	NOT LISTEN TO INPUT EVENTS.  NO DRIVER USING THE RFKILL CLASS SHALL
+	EVER LISTEN TO, OR ACT ON RFKILL INPUT EVENTS.  Doing otherwise is
+	a layering violation.
+
+	Most wireless data communication drivers in the kernel have just to
+	implement the rfkill class API to work properly.  Interfacing to the
+	input layer is not often required (and is very often a *bug*) on
+	wireless drivers.
+
+	Platform drivers often have to attach to the input layer to *issue*
+	(but never to listen to) rfkill events for rfkill switches, and also to
+	the rfkill class to export a control interface for the platform rfkill
+	controllers to the rfkill subsystem.  This does NOT mean the rfkill
+	switch is attached to a rfkill class (doing so is almost always wrong).
+	It just means the same kernel module is the driver for different
+	devices (rfkill switches and rfkill controllers).
+
+
+Userspace input handlers (uevents) or kernel input handlers (rfkill-input):
+
+	* Implements the policy of what should happen when one of the input
+	  layer events related to rfkill operation is received.
+	* Uses the sysfs interface (userspace) or private rfkill API calls
+	  to tell the devices registered with the rfkill class to change
+	  their state (i.e. translates the input layer event into real
+	  action).
+	* rfkill-input implements EPO by handling EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL 0
+	  (power off all transmitters) in a special way: it ignores any
+	  overrides and local state cache and forces all transmitters to the
+	  RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED state (including those which are already
+	  supposed to be BLOCKED).  Note that the opposite event (power on all
+	  transmitters) is handled normally.
+
+Userspace uevent handler or kernel platform-specific drivers hooked to the
+rfkill notifier chain:
+
+	* Taps into the rfkill notifier chain or to KOBJ_CHANGE uevents,
+	  in order to know when a device that is registered with the rfkill
+	  class changes state;
+	* Issues feedback notifications to the user;
+	* In the rare platforms where this is required, synthesizes an input
+	  event to command all *OTHER* rfkill devices to also change their
+	  statues when a specific rfkill device changes state.
+
+
+===============================================================================
+3: Kernel driver guidelines
+
+Remember: point-of-view is everything for a driver that connects to the rfkill
+subsystem.  All the details below must be measured/perceived from the point of
+view of the specific driver being modified.
+
+The first thing one needs to know is whether his driver should be talking to
+the rfkill class or to the input layer.  In rare cases (platform drivers), it
+could happen that you need to do both, as platform drivers often handle a
+variety of devices in the same driver.
+
+Do not mistake input devices for rfkill controllers.  The only type of "rfkill
+switch" device that is to be registered with the rfkill class are those
+directly controlling the circuits that cause a wireless transmitter to stop
+working (or the software equivalent of them), i.e. what we call a rfkill
+controller.  Every other kind of "rfkill switch" is just an input device and
+MUST NOT be registered with the rfkill class.
+
+A driver should register a device with the rfkill class when ALL of the
+following conditions are met (they define a rfkill controller):
+
+1. The device is/controls a data communications wireless transmitter;
+
+2. The kernel can interact with the hardware/firmware to CHANGE the wireless
+   transmitter state (block/unblock TX operation);
+
+3. The transmitter can be made to not emit any energy when "blocked":
+   rfkill is not about blocking data transmissions, it is about blocking
+   energy emission;
+
+A driver should register a device with the input subsystem to issue
+rfkill-related events (KEY_WLAN, KEY_BLUETOOTH, KEY_WWAN, KEY_WIMAX,
+SW_RFKILL_ALL, etc) when ALL of the folowing conditions are met:
+
+1. It is directly related to some physical device the user interacts with, to
+   command the O.S./firmware/hardware to enable/disable a data communications
+   wireless transmitter.
+
+   Examples of the physical device are: buttons, keys and switches the user
+   will press/touch/slide/switch to enable or disable the wireless
+   communication device.
+
+2. It is NOT slaved to another device, i.e. there is no other device that
+   issues rfkill-related input events in preference to this one.
+
+   Please refer to the corner cases and examples section for more details.
+
+When in doubt, do not issue input events.  For drivers that should generate
+input events in some platforms, but not in others (e.g. b43), the best solution
+is to NEVER generate input events in the first place.  That work should be
+deferred to a platform-specific kernel module (which will know when to generate
+events through the rfkill notifier chain) or to userspace.  This avoids the
+usual maintenance problems with DMI whitelisting.
+
+
+Corner cases and examples:
 ====================================
-2: Driver support
 
-To build a driver with rfkill subsystem support, the driver should

-A driver should implement a few steps to correctly make use of the

-rfkill subsystem. First for non-polling drivers:
+user interacted with (the button/switch/key) to issue an input event, THAT is
+the device driver that should be issuing input events.
 
-	- rfkill_allocate()
+E.g:
-	- input_allocate_device()
+  [RFKILL slider switch] -- [GPIO hardware] -- [WLAN card rf-kill input]
-	- rfkill_register()
+                           (platform driver)    (wireless card driver)
-	- input_register_device()
 
-For polling drivers:
+The user is closer to the RFKILL slide switch plaform driver, so the driver
+which must issue input events is the platform driver looking at the GPIO
+hardware, and NEVER the wireless card driver (which is just a slave).  It is
+very likely that there are other leaves than just the WLAN card rf-kill input
+(e.g. a bluetooth card, etc)...
 
-	- rfkill_allocate()
+On the other hand, some embedded devices do this:
-	- input_allocate_polled_device()
-	- rfkill_register()
-	- input_register_polled_device()
 
-When a key event has been detected, the correct event should be
+  [RFKILL slider switch] -- [WLAN card rf-kill input]
-sent over the input device which has been registered by the driver.
+                             (wireless card driver)
 
+In this situation, the wireless card driver *could* register itself as an input
+device and issue rf-kill related input events... but in order to AVOID the need
+for DMI whitelisting, the wireless card driver does NOT do it.  Userspace (HAL)
+or a platform driver (that exists only on these embedded devices) will do the
+dirty job of issuing the input events.
+
+
+COMMON MISTAKES in kernel drivers, related to rfkill:
 ====================================
-3: Userspace support
 
-For each key an input device will be created which will send out the correct
+1. NEVER confuse input device keys and buttons with input device switches.
-key event when the rfkill key has been pressed.
+
+  1a. Switches are always set or reset.  They report the current state
+      (on position or off position).
+
+  1b. Keys and buttons are either in the pressed or not-pressed state, and
+      that's it.  A "button" that latches down when you press it, and
+      unlatches when you press it again is in fact a switch as far as input
+      devices go.
+
+Add the SW_* events you need for switches, do NOT try to emulate a button using
+KEY_* events just because there is no such SW_* event yet.  Do NOT try to use,
+for example, KEY_BLUETOOTH when you should be using SW_BLUETOOTH instead.
+
+2. Input device switches (sources of EV_SW events) DO store their current state
+(so you *must* initialize it by issuing a gratuitous input layer event on
+driver start-up and also when resuming from sleep), and that state CAN be
+queried from userspace through IOCTLs.  There is no sysfs interface for this,
+but that doesn't mean you should break things trying to hook it to the rfkill
+class to get a sysfs interface :-)
+
+3. Do not issue *_RFKILL_ALL events by default, unless you are sure it is the
+correct event for your switch/button.  These events are emergency power-off
+events when they are trying to turn the transmitters off.  An example of an
+input device which SHOULD generate *_RFKILL_ALL events is the wireless-kill
+switch in a laptop which is NOT a hotkey, but a real switch that kills radios
+in hardware, even if the O.S. has gone to lunch.  An example of an input device
+which SHOULD NOT generate *_RFKILL_ALL events by default, is any sort of hot
+key that does nothing by itself, as well as any hot key that is type-specific
+(e.g. the one for WLAN).
+
+
+3.1 Guidelines for wireless device drivers
+------------------------------------------
+
+1. Each independent transmitter in a wireless device (usually there is only one
+transmitter per device) should have a SINGLE rfkill class attached to it.
+
+2. If the device does not have any sort of hardware assistance to allow the
+driver to rfkill the device, the driver should emulate it by taking all actions
+required to silence the transmitter.
+
+3. If it is impossible to silence the transmitter (i.e. it still emits energy,
+even if it is just in brief pulses, when there is no data to transmit and there
+is no hardware support to turn it off) do NOT lie to the users.  Do not attach
+it to a rfkill class.  The rfkill subsystem does not deal with data
+transmission, it deals with energy emission.  If the transmitter is emitting
+energy, it is not blocked in rfkill terms.
+
+4. It doesn't matter if the device has multiple rfkill input lines affecting
+the same transmitter, their combined state is to be exported as a single state
+per transmitter (see rule 1).
+
+This rule exists because users of the rfkill subsystem expect to get (and set,
+when possible) the overall transmitter rfkill state, not of a particular rfkill
+line.
+
+Example of a WLAN wireless driver connected to the rfkill subsystem:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+A certain WLAN card has one input pin that causes it to block the transmitter
+and makes the status of that input pin available (only for reading!) to the
+kernel driver.  This is a hard rfkill input line (it cannot be overridden by
+the kernel driver).
+
+The card also has one PCI register that, if manipulated by the driver, causes
+it to block the transmitter.  This is a soft rfkill input line.
+
+It has also a thermal protection circuitry that shuts down its transmitter if
+the card overheats, and makes the status of that protection available (only for
+reading!) to the kernel driver.  This is also a hard rfkill input line.
+
+If either one of these rfkill lines are active, the transmitter is blocked by
+the hardware and forced offline.
+
+The driver should allocate and attach to its struct device *ONE* instance of
+the rfkill class (there is only one transmitter).
+
+It can implement the get_state() hook, and return RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED if
+either one of its two hard rfkill input lines are active.  If the two hard
+rfkill lines are inactive, it must return RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED if its soft
+rfkill input line is active.  Only if none of the rfkill input lines are
+active, will it return RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED.
+
+If it doesn't implement the get_state() hook, it must make sure that its calls
+to rfkill_force_state() are enough to keep the status always up-to-date, and it
+must do a rfkill_force_state() on resume from sleep.
+
+Every time the driver gets a notification from the card that one of its rfkill
+lines changed state (polling might be needed on badly designed cards that don't
+generate interrupts for such events), it recomputes the rfkill state as per
+above, and calls rfkill_force_state() to update it.
+
+The driver should implement the toggle_radio() hook, that:
+
+1. Returns an error if one of the hardware rfkill lines are active, and the
+caller asked for RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED.
+
+2. Activates the soft rfkill line if the caller asked for state
+RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED.  It should do this even if one of the hard rfkill
+lines are active, effectively double-blocking the transmitter.
+
+3. Deactivates the soft rfkill line if none of the hardware rfkill lines are
+active and the caller asked for RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED.
+
+===============================================================================
+4: Kernel API
+
+To build a driver with rfkill subsystem support, the driver should depend on
+(or select) the Kconfig symbol RFKILL; it should _not_ depend on RKFILL_INPUT.
+
+The hardware the driver talks to may be write-only (where the current state
+of the hardware is unknown), or read-write (where the hardware can be queried
+about its current state).
+
+The rfkill class will call the get_state hook of a device every time it needs
+to know the *real* current state of the hardware.  This can happen often.
+
+Some hardware provides events when its status changes.  In these cases, it is
+best for the driver to not provide a get_state hook, and instead register the
+rfkill class *already* with the correct status, and keep it updated using
+rfkill_force_state() when it gets an event from the hardware.
+
+There is no provision for a statically-allocated rfkill struct.  You must
+use rfkill_allocate() to allocate one.
+
+You should:
+	- rfkill_allocate()
+	- modify rfkill fields (flags, name)
+	- modify state to the current hardware state (THIS IS THE ONLY TIME
+	  YOU CAN ACCESS state DIRECTLY)
+	- rfkill_register()
+
+The only way to set a device to the RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED state is through
+a suitable return of get_state() or through rfkill_force_state().
+
+When a device is in the RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED state, the only way to switch
+it to a different state is through a suitable return of get_state() or through
+rfkill_force_state().
+
+If toggle_radio() is called to set a device to state RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED
+when that device is already at the RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED state, it should
+not return an error.  Instead, it should try to double-block the transmitter,
+so that its state will change from RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED to
+RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED should the hardware blocking cease.
+
+Please refer to the source for more documentation.
+
+===============================================================================
+5: Userspace support
+
+rfkill devices issue uevents (with an action of "change"), with the following
+environment variables set:
+
+RFKILL_NAME
+RFKILL_STATE
+RFKILL_TYPE
+
+The ABI for these variables is defined by the sysfs attributes.  It is best
+to take a quick look at the source to make sure of the possible values.
+
+It is expected that HAL will trap those, and bridge them to DBUS, etc.  These
+events CAN and SHOULD be used to give feedback to the user about the rfkill
+status of the system.
+
+Input devices may issue events that are related to rfkill.  These are the
+various KEY_* events and SW_* events supported by rfkill-input.c.
+
+******IMPORTANT******
+When rfkill-input is ACTIVE, userspace is NOT TO CHANGE THE STATE OF AN RFKILL
+SWITCH IN RESPONSE TO AN INPUT EVENT also handled by rfkill-input, unless it
+has set to true the user_claim attribute for that particular switch.  This rule
+is *absolute*; do NOT violate it.
+******IMPORTANT******
+
+Userspace must not assume it is the only source of control for rfkill switches.
+Their state CAN and WILL change due to firmware actions, direct user actions,
+and the rfkill-input EPO override for *_RFKILL_ALL.
+
+When rfkill-input is not active, userspace must initiate a rfkill status
+change by writing to the "state" attribute in order for anything to happen.
+
+Take particular care to implement EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL properly.  When that
+switch is set to OFF, *every* rfkill device *MUST* be immediately put into the
+RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED state, no questions asked.
 
 The following sysfs entries will be created:
 
 	name: Name assigned by driver to this key (interface or driver name).
 	type: Name of the key type ("wlan", "bluetooth", etc).
-	state: Current state of the key. 1: On, 0: Off.
+	state: Current state of the transmitter
+		0: RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED
+			transmitter is forced off, but one can override it
+			by a write to the state attribute;
+		1: RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED
+			transmiter is NOT forced off, and may operate if
+			all other conditions for such operation are met
+			(such as interface is up and configured, etc);
+		2: RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED
+			transmitter is forced off by something outside of
+			the driver's control.  One cannot set a device to
+			this state through writes to the state attribute;
 	claim: 1: Userspace handles events, 0: Kernel handles events
 
 Both the "state" and "claim" entries are also writable. For the "state" entry
-this means that when 1 or 0 is written all radios, not yet in the requested
+this means that when 1 or 0 is written, the device rfkill state (if not yet in
-state, will be will be toggled accordingly.
+the requested state), will be will be toggled accordingly.
