If this is + lower, the interrupt latency should be lower too (faster + processor). The benefit of a lower threshold is less + interrupts. + + To tune the fifo threshold, switch on over/underrun messages + using 'floppycontrol --messages'. Then access a floppy + disk. If you get a huge amount of "Over/Underrun - retrying" + messages, then the fifo threshold is too low. Try with a + higher value, until you only get an occasional Over/Underrun. + It is a good idea to compile the floppy driver as a module + when doing this tuning. Indeed, it allows to try different + fifo values without rebooting the machine for each test.

Introduction +=============== + +Owing to the simplicity and near universality of the parallel port interface +to personal computers, many external devices such as portable hard-disk, +CD-ROM, LS-120 and tape drives use the parallel port to connect to their +host computer. While some devices (notably scanners) use ad-hoc methods +to pass commands and data through the parallel port interface, most +external devices are actually identical to an internal model, but with +a parallel-port adapter chip added in. Some of the original parallel port +adapters were little more than mechanisms for multiplexing a SCSI bus. +(The Iomega PPA-3 adapter used in the ZIP drives is an example of this +approach). Most current designs, however, take a different approach. +The adapter chip reproduces a small ISA or IDE bus in the external device +and the communication protocol provides operations for reading and writing +device registers, as well as data block transfer functions. Sometimes, +the device being addressed via the parallel cable is a standard SCSI +controller like an NCR 5380. The "ditto" family of external tape +drives use the ISA replicator to interface a floppy disk controller, +which is then connected to a floppy-tape mechanism. The vast majority +of external parallel port devices, however, are now based on standard +IDE type devices, which require no intermediate controller. If one +were to open up a parallel port CD-ROM drive, for instance, one would +find a standard ATAPI CD-ROM drive, a power supply, and a single adapter +that interconnected a standard PC parallel port cable and a standard +IDE cable. It is usually possible to exchange the CD-ROM device with +any other device using the IDE interface. + +The document describes the support in Linux for parallel port IDE +devices. It does not cover parallel port SCSI devices, "ditto" tape +drives or scanners. Many different devices are supported by the +parallel port IDE subsystem, including: + + - MicroSolutions backpack CD-ROM + - MicroSolutions backpack PD/CD + - MicroSolutions backpack hard-drives + - MicroSolutions backpack 8000t tape drive + - SyQuest EZ-135, EZ-230 & SparQ drives + - Avatar Shark + - Imation Superdisk LS-120 + - Maxell Superdisk LS-120 + - FreeCom Power CD + - Hewlett-Packard 5GB and 8GB tape drives + - Hewlett-Packard 7100 and 7200 CD-RW drives + +as well as most of the clone and no-name products on the market. + +To support such a wide range of devices, pata_parport is actually structured +in two parts. There is a base pata_parport module which provides an interface +to kernel libata subsystem, registry and some common methods for accessing +the parallel ports. + +The second component is a set of low-level protocol drivers for each of the +parallel port IDE adapter chips. Thanks to the interest and encouragement of +Linux users from many parts of the world, support is available for almost all +known adapter protocols: + + ==== ====================================== ==== + aten ATEN EH-100 (HK) + bpck Microsolutions backpack (US) + comm DataStor (old-type) "commuter" adapter (TW) + dstr DataStor EP-2000 (TW) + epat Shuttle EPAT (UK) + epia Shuttle EPIA (UK) + fit2 FIT TD-2000 (US) + fit3 FIT TD-3000 (US) + friq Freecom IQ cable (DE) + frpw Freecom Power (DE) + kbic KingByte KBIC-951A and KBIC-971A (TW) + ktti KT Technology PHd adapter (SG) + on20 OnSpec 90c20 (US) + on26 OnSpec 90c26 (US) + ==== ====================================== ==== + + +2. Using pata_parport subsystem +=============================== + +While configuring the Linux kernel, you may choose either to build +the pata_parport drivers into your kernel, or to build them as modules. + +In either case, you will need to select "Parallel port IDE device support" +and at least one of the parallel port communication protocols. +If you do not know what kind of parallel port adapter is used in your drive, +you could begin by checking the file names and any text files on your DOS +installation floppy. Alternatively, you can look at the markings on +the adapter chip itself. That's usually sufficient to identify the +correct device. + +You can actually select all the protocol modules, and allow the pata_parport +subsystem to try them all for you. + +For the "brand-name" products listed above, here are the protocol +and high-level drivers that you would use: + + ================ ============ ======== + Manufacturer Model Protocol + ================ ============ ======== + MicroSolutions CD-ROM bpck + MicroSolutions PD drive bpck + MicroSolutions hard-drive bpck + MicroSolutions 8000t tape bpck + SyQuest EZ, SparQ epat + Imation Superdisk epat + Maxell Superdisk friq + Avatar Shark epat + FreeCom CD-ROM frpw + Hewlett-Packard 5GB Tape epat + Hewlett-Packard 7200e (CD) epat + Hewlett-Packard 7200e (CD-R) epat + ================ ============ ======== + +All parports and all protocol drivers are probed automatically unless probe=0 +parameter is used.

Troubleshooting +================== + +3.1 Use EPP mode if you can +---------------------------- + +The most common problems that people report with the pata_parport drivers +concern the parallel port CMOS settings. At this time, none of the +protocol modules support ECP mode, or any ECP combination modes. +If you are able to do so, please set your parallel port into EPP mode +using your CMOS setup procedure. + +3.2 Check the port delay +------------------------- + +Some parallel ports cannot reliably transfer data at full speed. To +offset the errors, the protocol modules introduce a "port +delay" between each access to the i/o ports. Each protocol sets +a default value for this delay. In most cases, the user can override +the default and set it to 0 - resulting in somewhat higher transfer +rates. In some rare cases (especially with older 486 systems) the +default delays are not long enough. if you experience corrupt data +transfers, or unexpected failures, you may wish to increase the +port delay. + +3.3 Some drives need a printer reset +------------------------------------- + +There appear to be a number of "noname" external drives on the market +that do not always power up correctly. We have noticed this with some +drives based on OnSpec and older Freecom adapters. In these rare cases, +the adapter can often be reinitialised by issuing a "printer reset" on +the parallel port. As the reset operation is potentially disruptive in +multiple device environments, the pata_parport drivers will not do it +automatically. You can however, force a printer reset by doing:: + + insmod lp reset=1 + rmmod lp + +If you have one of these marginal cases, you should probably build +your pata_parport drivers as modules, and arrange to do the printer reset +before loading the pata_parport drivers. diff --git a/Documentation/admin-guide/blockdev/ramdisk.rst b/Documentation/admin-guide/blockdev/ramdisk.rst new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..9ce6101e8d --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/admin-guide/blockdev/ramdisk.rst @@ -0,0 +1,153 @@ +========================================== +Using the RAM disk block device with Linux +========================================== + +..

The +default is 4096 (4 MB). + +2b) Module parameters + + rd_nr + /dev/ramX devices created. + + max_part + Maximum partition number. + + rd_size + See ramdisk_size. + +3) Using "rdev" +--------------- + +"rdev" is an obsolete, deprecated, antiquated utility that could be used +to set the boot device in a Linux kernel image. + +Instead of using rdev, just place the boot device information on the +kernel command line and pass it to the kernel from the bootloader. + +You can also pass arguments to the kernel by setting FDARGS in +arch/x86/boot/Makefile and specify in initrd image by setting FDINITRD in +arch/x86/boot/Makefile. + +Some of the kernel command line boot options that may apply here are:: + + ramdisk_start=N + ramdisk_size=M + +If you make a boot disk that has LILO, then for the above, you would use:: + + append = "ramdisk_start=N ramdisk_size=M" + +4) An Example of Creating a Compressed RAM Disk +----------------------------------------------- + +To create a RAM disk image, you will need a spare block device to +construct it on. This can be the RAM disk device itself, or an +unused disk partition (such as an unmounted swap partition). For this +example, we will use the RAM disk device, "/dev/ram0". + +Note: This technique should not be done on a machine with less than 8 MB +of RAM. If using a spare disk partition instead of /dev/ram0, then this +restriction does not apply. + +a) Decide on the RAM disk size that you want. Say 2 MB for this example. + Create it by writing to the RAM disk device. (This step is not currently + required, but may be in the future.) It is wise to zero out the + area (esp. for disks) so that maximal compression is achieved for + the unused blocks of the image that you are about to create:: + + dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram0 bs=1k count=2048 + +b) Make a filesystem on it. Say ext2fs for this example:: + + mke2fs -vm0 /dev/ram0 2048 + +c) Mount it, copy the files you want to it (eg: /etc/* /dev/* ...) + and unmount it again. + +d) Compress the contents of the RAM disk. The level of compression + will be approximately 50% of the space used by the files. Unused + space on the RAM disk will compress to almost nothing:: + + dd if=/dev/ram0 bs=1k count=2048 | gzip -v9 > /tmp/ram_image.gz + +e) Put the kernel onto the floppy:: + + dd if=zImage of=/dev/fd0 bs=1k + +f) Put the RAM disk image onto the floppy, after the kernel. Use an offset + that is slightly larger than the kernel, so that you can put another + (possibly larger) kernel onto the same floppy later without overlapping + the RAM disk image. An offset of 400 kB for kernels about 350 kB in + size would be reasonable. Make sure offset+size of ram_image.gz is + not larger than the total space on your floppy (usually 1440 kB):: + + dd if=/tmp/ram_image.gz of=/dev/fd0 bs=1k seek=400 + +g) Make sure that you have already specified the boot information in + FDARGS and FDINITRD or that you use a bootloader to pass kernel + command line boot options to the kernel. + +That is it. You now have your boot/root compressed RAM disk floppy. Some +users may wish to combine steps (d) and (f) by using a pipe. + + + Paul Gortmaker 12/95 + +Changelog: +---------- + +SEPT-2020 : + + Removed usage of "rdev" + +10-22-04 : + Updated to reflect changes in command line options, remove + obsolete references, general cleanup. + James Nelson (james4765@gmail.com) + +12-95 : + Original Document diff --git a/Documentation/admin-guide/blockdev/zram.rst b/Documentation/admin-guide/blockdev/zram.rst new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..e4551579cb --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/admin-guide/blockdev/zram.rst @@ -0,0 +1,532 @@ +======================================== +zram: Compressed RAM-based block devices +======================================== + +Introduction +============ + +The zram module creates RAM-based block devices named /dev/zram<id> +(<id> = 0, 1, ...). Pages written to these disks are compressed and stored +in memory itself. These disks allow very fast I/O and compression provides +good amounts of memory savings. Some of the use cases include /tmp storage, +use as swap disks, various caches under /var and maybe many more. :) + +Statistics for individual zram devices are exported through sysfs nodes at +/sys/block/zram<id>/ + +Usage +===== + +There are several ways to configure and manage zram device(-s): + +a) using zram and zram_control sysfs attributes +b) using zramctl utility, provided by util-linux (util-linux@vger.kernel.org). + +In this document we will describe only 'manual' zram configuration steps, +IOW, zram and zram_control sysfs attributes. + +In order to get a better idea about zramctl please consult util-linux +documentation, zramctl man-page or `zramctl --help`. Please be informed +that zram maintainers do not develop/maintain util-linux or zramctl, should +you have any questions please contact util-linux@vger.kernel.org + +Following shows a typical sequence of steps for using zram. + +WARNING +======= + +For the sake of simplicity we skip error checking parts in most of the +examples below. However, it is your sole responsibility to handle errors. + +zram sysfs attributes always return negative values in case of errors. +The list of possible return codes: + +======== ============================================================= +-EBUSY an attempt to modify an attribute that cannot be changed once + the device has been initialised. Please reset device first. +-ENOMEM zram was not able to allocate enough memory to fulfil your + needs. +-EINVAL invalid input has been provided. +======== ============================================================= + +If you use 'echo', the returned value is set by the 'echo' utility, +and, in general case, something like:: + + echo 3 > /sys/block/zram0/max_comp_streams + if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then + handle_error + fi + +should suffice. + +1) Load Module +============== + +:: + + modprobe zram num_devices=4 + +This creates 4 devices: /dev/zram{0,1,2,3} + +num_devices parameter is optional and tells zram how many devices should be +pre-created. Default: 1. + +2) Set max number of compression streams +======================================== + +Regardless of the value passed to this attribute, ZRAM will always +allocate multiple compression streams - one per online CPU - thus +allowing several concurrent compression operations. The number of +allocated compression streams goes down when some of the CPUs +become offline. There is no single-compression-stream mode anymore, +unless you are running a UP system or have only 1 CPU online. + +To find out how many streams are currently available:: + + cat /sys/block/zram0/max_comp_streams + +3) Select compression algorithm +=============================== + +Using comp_algorithm device attribute one can see available and +currently selected (shown in square brackets) compression algorithms, +or change the selected compression algorithm (once the device is initialised +there is no way to change compression algorithm). + +Examples:: + + #show supported compression algorithms + cat /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm + lzo [lz4] + + #select lzo compression algorithm + echo lzo > /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm + +For the time being, the `comp_algorithm` content does not necessarily +show every compression algorithm supported by the kernel. We keep this +list primarily to simplify device configuration and one can configure +a new device with a compression algorithm that is not listed in +`comp_algorithm`. The thing is that, internally, ZRAM uses Crypto API +and, if some of the algorithms were built as modules, it's impossible +to list all of them using, for instance, /proc/crypto or any other +method. This, however, has an advantage of permitting the usage of +custom crypto compression modules (implementing S/W or H/W compression). + +4) Set Disksize +=============== + +Set disk size by writing the value to sysfs node 'disksize'. +The value can be either in bytes or you can use mem suffixes. +Examples:: + + # Initialize /dev/zram0 with 50MB disksize + echo $((50*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize + + # Using mem suffixes + echo 256K > /sys/block/zram0/disksize + echo 512M > /sys/block/zram0/disksize + echo 1G > /sys/block/zram0/disksize + +Note: +There is little point creating a zram of greater than twice the size of memory +since we expect a 2:1 compression ratio. Note that zram uses about 0.1% of the +size of the disk when not in use so a huge zram is wasteful. + +5) Set memory limit: Optional +============================= + +Set memory limit by writing the value to sysfs node 'mem_limit'. +The value can be either in bytes or you can use mem suffixes. +In addition, you could change the value in runtime. +Examples:: + + # limit /dev/zram0 with 50MB memory + echo $((50*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/mem_limit + + # Using mem suffixes + echo 256K > /sys/block/zram0/mem_limit + echo 512M > /sys/block/zram0/mem_limit + echo 1G > /sys/block/zram0/mem_limit + + # To disable memory limit + echo 0 > /sys/block/zram0/mem_limit + +6) Activate +=========== + +:: + + mkswap /dev/zram0 + swapon /dev/zram0 + + mkfs.ext4 /dev/zram1 + mount /dev/zram1 /tmp + +7) Add/remove zram devices +========================== + +zram provides a control interface, which enables dynamic (on-demand) device +addition and removal. + +In order to add a new /dev/zramX device, perform a read operation on the hot_add +attribute. This will return either the new device's device id (meaning that you +can use /dev/zram<id>) or an error code. + +Example:: + + cat /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add + 1 + +To remove the existing /dev/zramX device (where X is a device id) +execute:: + + echo X > /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove + +8) Stats +======== + +Per-device statistics are exported as various nodes under /sys/block/zram<id>/ + +A brief description of exported device attributes follows.

You must set the disksize again + before reusing the device. + +Optional Feature +================ + +writeback +--------- + +With CONFIG_ZRAM_WRITEBACK, zram can write idle/incompressible page +to backing storage rather than keeping it in memory. +To use the feature, admin should set up backing device via:: + + echo /dev/sda5 > /sys/block/zramX/backing_dev + +before disksize setting. It supports only partitions at this moment. +If admin wants to use incompressible page writeback, they could do it via:: + + echo huge > /sys/block/zramX/writeback + +To use idle page writeback, first, user need to declare zram pages +as idle:: + + echo all > /sys/block/zramX/idle + +From now on, any pages on zram are idle pages. The idle mark +will be removed until someone requests access of the block. +IOW, unless there is access request, those pages are still idle pages. +Additionally, when CONFIG_ZRAM_MEMORY_TRACKING is enabled pages can be +marked as idle based on how long (in seconds) it's been since they were +last accessed:: + + echo 86400 > /sys/block/zramX/idle + +In this example all pages which haven't been accessed in more than 86400 +seconds (one day) will be marked idle. + +Admin can request writeback of those idle pages at right timing via:: + + echo idle > /sys/block/zramX/writeback + +With the command, zram will writeback idle pages from memory to the storage. + +Additionally, if a user choose to writeback only huge and idle pages +this can be accomplished with:: + + echo huge_idle > /sys/block/zramX/writeback + +If a user chooses to writeback only incompressible pages (pages that none of +algorithms can compress) this can be accomplished with:: + + echo incompressible > /sys/block/zramX/writeback + +If an admin wants to write a specific page in zram device to the backing device, +they could write a page index into the interface:: + + echo "page_index=1251" > /sys/block/zramX/writeback + +If there are lots of write IO with flash device, potentially, it has +flash wearout problem so that admin needs to design write limitation +to guarantee storage health for entire product life. + +To overcome the concern, zram supports "writeback_limit" feature. +The "writeback_limit_enable"'s default value is 0 so that it doesn't limit +any writeback. IOW, if admin wants to apply writeback budget, they should +enable writeback_limit_enable via:: + + $ echo 1 > /sys/block/zramX/writeback_limit_enable + +Once writeback_limit_enable is set, zram doesn't allow any writeback +until admin sets the budget via /sys/block/zramX/writeback_limit. + +(If admin doesn't enable writeback_limit_enable, writeback_limit's value +assigned via /sys/block/zramX/writeback_limit is meaningless.) + +If admin wants to limit writeback as per-day 400M, they could do it +like below:: + + $ MB_SHIFT=20 + $ 4K_SHIFT=12 + $ echo $((400<<MB_SHIFT>>4K_SHIFT)) > \ + /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit. + $ echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit_enable + +If admins want to allow further write again once the budget is exhausted, +they could do it like below:: + + $ echo $((400<<MB_SHIFT>>4K_SHIFT)) > \ + /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit + +If an admin wants to see the remaining writeback budget since last set:: + + $ cat /sys/block/zramX/writeback_limit + +If an admin wants to disable writeback limit, they could do:: + + $ echo 0 > /sys/block/zramX/writeback_limit_enable + +The writeback_limit count will reset whenever you reset zram (e.g., +system reboot, echo 1 > /sys/block/zramX/reset) so keeping how many of +writeback happened until you reset the zram to allocate extra writeback +budget in next setting is user's job. + +If admin wants to measure writeback count in a certain period, they could +know it via /sys/block/zram0/bd_stat's 3rd column. + +recompression +------------- + +With CONFIG_ZRAM_MULTI_COMP, zram can recompress pages using alternative +(secondary) compression algorithms. The basic idea is that alternative +compression algorithm can provide better compression ratio at a price of +(potentially) slower compression/decompression speeds. Alternative compression +algorithm can, for example, be more successful compressing huge pages (those +that default algorithm failed to compress). Another application is idle pages +recompression - pages that are cold and sit in the memory can be recompressed +using more effective algorithm and, hence, reduce zsmalloc memory usage. + +With CONFIG_ZRAM_MULTI_COMP, zram supports up to 4 compression algorithms: +one primary and up to 3 secondary ones. Primary zram compressor is explained +in "3) Select compression algorithm", secondary algorithms are configured +using recomp_algorithm device attribute. + +Example::: + + #show supported recompression algorithms + cat /sys/block/zramX/recomp_algorithm + #1: lzo lzo-rle lz4 lz4hc [zstd] + #2: lzo lzo-rle lz4 [lz4hc] zstd + +Alternative compression algorithms are sorted by priority. In the example +above, zstd is used as the first alternative algorithm, which has priority +of 1, while lz4hc is configured as a compression algorithm with priority 2. +Alternative compression algorithm's priority is provided during algorithms +configuration::: + + #select zstd recompression algorithm, priority 1 + echo "algo=zstd priority=1" > /sys/block/zramX/recomp_algorithm + + #select deflate recompression algorithm, priority 2 + echo "algo=deflate priority=2" > /sys/block/zramX/recomp_algorithm + +Another device attribute that CONFIG_ZRAM_MULTI_COMP enables is recompress, +which controls recompression. + +Examples::: + + #IDLE pages recompression is activated by `idle` mode + echo "type=idle" > /sys/block/zramX/recompress + + #HUGE pages recompression is activated by `huge` mode + echo "type=huge" > /sys/block/zram0/recompress + + #HUGE_IDLE pages recompression is activated by `huge_idle` mode + echo "type=huge_idle" > /sys/block/zramX/recompress + +The number of idle pages can be significant, so user-space can pass a size +threshold (in bytes) to the recompress knob: zram will recompress only pages +of equal or greater size::: + + #recompress all pages larger than 3000 bytes + echo "threshold=3000" > /sys/block/zramX/recompress + + #recompress idle pages larger than 2000 bytes + echo "type=idle threshold=2000" > /sys/block/zramX/recompress + +Recompression of idle pages requires memory tracking. + +During re-compression for every page, that matches re-compression criteria, +ZRAM iterates the list of registered alternative compression algorithms in +order of their priorities. ZRAM stops either when re-compression was +successful (re-compressed object is smaller in size than the original one) +and matches re-compression criteria (e.g. size threshold) or when there are +no secondary algorithms left to try. If none of the secondary algorithms can +successfully re-compressed the page such a page is marked as incompressible, +so ZRAM will not attempt to re-compress it in the future. + +This re-compression behaviour, when it iterates through the list of +registered compression algorithms, increases our chances of finding the +algorithm that successfully compresses a particular page. Sometimes, however, +it is convenient (and sometimes even necessary) to limit recompression to +only one particular algorithm so that it will not try any other algorithms. +This can be achieved by providing a algo=NAME parameter::: + + #use zstd algorithm only (if registered) + echo "type=huge algo=zstd" > /sys/block/zramX/recompress + +memory tracking +=============== + +With CONFIG_ZRAM_MEMORY_TRACKING, user can know information of the +zram block. It could be useful to catch cold or incompressible +pages of the process with*pagemap. + +If you enable the feature, you could see block state via +/sys/kernel/debug/zram/zram0/block_state".
