====================
net: manually convert files to ReST format - part 1

There are very few documents upstream that aren't converted upstream.

This series convert part of the networking text files into ReST.
It is part of a bigger set of patches, which were split on parts,
in order to make reviewing task easier.

The full series (including those ones) are at:

	https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git/log/?h=net-docs

And the documents, converted to HTML via the building system
are at:

1. What is 6pack, and what are the advantages to KISS?
======================================================
6pack is a transmission protocol for data exchange between the PC and
the TNC over a serial line. It can be used as an alternative to KISS.
6pack has two major advantages:
- The PC is given full control over the radio
channel. Special control data is exchanged between the PC and the TNC so
that the PC knows at any time if the TNC is receiving data, if a TNC
buffer underrun or overrun has occurred, if the PTT is
set and so on. This control data is processed at a higher priority than
normal data, so a data stream can be interrupted at any time to issue an
important event. This helps to improve the channel access and timing
algorithms as everything is computed in the PC. It would even be possible
to experiment with something completely different from the known CSMA and
important event. This helps to improve the channel access and timing
algorithms as everything is computed in the PC. It would even be possible

This kind of real-time control is especially important to supply several

CAIF SPI porting
================
CAIF SPI basics
===============
Running CAIF over SPI needs some extra setup, owing to the nature of SPI.
Two extra GPIOs have been added in order to negotiate the transfers
between the master and the slave. The minimum requirement for running
CAIF over SPI is a SPI slave chip and two GPIOs (more details below).
Please note that running as a slave implies that you need to keep up
with the master clock. An overrun or underrun event is fatal.
CAIF SPI framework
==================
To make porting as easy as possible, the CAIF SPI has been divided in
two parts. The first part (called the interface part) deals with all
generic functionality such as length framing, SPI frame negotiation
and SPI frame delivery and transmission. The other part is the CAIF
SPI slave device part, which is the module that you have to write if
you want to run SPI CAIF on a new hardware. This part takes care of
the physical hardware, both with regard to SPI and to GPIOs.
- Implementing a CAIF SPI device:
- Functionality provided by the CAIF SPI slave device:
In order to implement a SPI device you will, as a minimum,
need to implement the following
functions:
::
int (*init_xfer) (struct cfspi_xfer * xfer, struct cfspi_dev *dev):
This function is called by the CAIF SPI interface to give
you a chance to set up your hardware to be ready to receive
a stream of data from the master. The xfer structure contains
both physical and logical addresses, as well as the total length
of the transfer in both directions.The dev parameter can be used
to map to different CAIF SPI slave devices.
::
void (*sig_xfer) (bool xfer, struct cfspi_dev *dev):
This function is called by the CAIF SPI interface when the output
(SPI_INT) GPIO needs to change state. The boolean value of the xfer
variable indicates whether the GPIO should be asserted (HIGH) or
deasserted (LOW). The dev parameter can be used to map to different CAIF
SPI slave devices.
- Functionality provided by the CAIF SPI interface:
::
void (*ss_cb) (bool assert, struct cfspi_ifc *ifc);
This function is called by the CAIF SPI slave device in order to
signal a change of state of the input GPIO (SS) to the interface.
Only active edges are mandatory to be reported.
This function can be called from IRQ context (recommended in order
not to introduce latency). The ifc parameter should be the pointer
returned from the platform probe function in the SPI device structure.
::
void (*xfer_done_cb) (struct cfspi_ifc *ifc);
This function is called by the CAIF SPI slave device in order to
report that a transfer is completed. This function should only be
called once both the transmission and the reception are completed.
This function can be called from IRQ context (recommended in order
not to introduce latency). The ifc parameter should be the pointer
returned from the platform probe function in the SPI device structure.
- Connecting the bits and pieces:
- Filling in the SPI slave device structure:
Connect the necessary callback functions.
Indicate clock speed (used to calculate toggle delays).
Chose a suitable name (helps debugging if you use several CAIF
SPI slave devices).
Assign your private data (can be used to map to your
structure).
- Filling in the SPI slave platform device structure:
Add name of driver to connect to ("cfspi_sspi").
Assign the SPI slave device structure as platform data.
Padding
=======
In order to optimize throughput, a number of SPI padding options are provided.
Padding can be enabled independently for uplink and downlink transfers.
Padding can be enabled for the head, the tail and for the total frame size.
The padding needs to be correctly configured on both sides of the link.
The padding can be changed via module parameters in cfspi_sspi.c or via
the sysfs directory of the cfspi_sspi driver (before device registration).

- CAIF SPI porting -
- CAIF SPI basics:
Running CAIF over SPI needs some extra setup, owing to the nature of SPI.
Two extra GPIOs have been added in order to negotiate the transfers
between the master and the slave. The minimum requirement for running
CAIF over SPI is a SPI slave chip and two GPIOs (more details below).
Please note that running as a slave implies that you need to keep up
with the master clock. An overrun or underrun event is fatal.
- CAIF SPI framework:
To make porting as easy as possible, the CAIF SPI has been divided in
two parts. The first part (called the interface part) deals with all
generic functionality such as length framing, SPI frame negotiation
and SPI frame delivery and transmission. The other part is the CAIF
SPI slave device part, which is the module that you have to write if
you want to run SPI CAIF on a new hardware. This part takes care of
the physical hardware, both with regard to SPI and to GPIOs.
- Implementing a CAIF SPI device:
- Functionality provided by the CAIF SPI slave device:
In order to implement a SPI device you will, as a minimum,
need to implement the following
functions:
int (*init_xfer) (struct cfspi_xfer * xfer, struct cfspi_dev *dev):
This function is called by the CAIF SPI interface to give
you a chance to set up your hardware to be ready to receive
a stream of data from the master. The xfer structure contains
both physical and logical addresses, as well as the total length
of the transfer in both directions.The dev parameter can be used
to map to different CAIF SPI slave devices.
void (*sig_xfer) (bool xfer, struct cfspi_dev *dev):
This function is called by the CAIF SPI interface when the output
(SPI_INT) GPIO needs to change state. The boolean value of the xfer
variable indicates whether the GPIO should be asserted (HIGH) or
deasserted (LOW). The dev parameter can be used to map to different CAIF
SPI slave devices.
- Functionality provided by the CAIF SPI interface:
void (*ss_cb) (bool assert, struct cfspi_ifc *ifc);
This function is called by the CAIF SPI slave device in order to
signal a change of state of the input GPIO (SS) to the interface.
Only active edges are mandatory to be reported.
This function can be called from IRQ context (recommended in order
not to introduce latency). The ifc parameter should be the pointer
returned from the platform probe function in the SPI device structure.
void (*xfer_done_cb) (struct cfspi_ifc *ifc);
This function is called by the CAIF SPI slave device in order to
report that a transfer is completed. This function should only be
called once both the transmission and the reception are completed.
This function can be called from IRQ context (recommended in order
not to introduce latency). The ifc parameter should be the pointer
returned from the platform probe function in the SPI device structure.
- Connecting the bits and pieces:
- Filling in the SPI slave device structure:
Connect the necessary callback functions.
Indicate clock speed (used to calculate toggle delays).
Chose a suitable name (helps debugging if you use several CAIF
SPI slave devices).
Assign your private data (can be used to map to your structure).
- Filling in the SPI slave platform device structure:
Add name of driver to connect to ("cfspi_sspi").
Assign the SPI slave device structure as platform data.
- Padding:
In order to optimize throughput, a number of SPI padding options are provided.
Padding can be enabled independently for uplink and downlink transfers.
Padding can be enabled for the head, the tail and for the total frame size.
The padding needs to be correctly configured on both sides of the link.
The padding can be changed via module parameters in cfspi_sspi.c or via
the sysfs directory of the cfspi_sspi driver (before device registration).

========================================
The COPS LocalTalk Linux driver (cops.c)
========================================
By Jay Schulist <jschlst@samba.org>
This driver has two modes and they are: Dayna mode and Tangent mode.
Each mode corresponds with the type of card. It has been found
that there are 2 main types of cards and all other cards are
the same and just have different names or only have minor differences
such as more IO ports. As this driver is tested it will
become more clear exactly what cards are supported.
Right now these cards are known to work with the COPS driver. The
LT-200 cards work in a somewhat more limited capacity than the
DL200 cards, which work very well and are in use by many people.
TANGENT driver mode:
- Tangent ATB-II, Novell NL-1000, Daystar Digital LT-200
DAYNA driver mode:
- Dayna DL2000/DaynaTalk PC (Half Length), COPS LT-95,
- Farallon PhoneNET PC III, Farallon PhoneNET PC II
Other cards possibly supported mode unknown though:
- Dayna DL2000 (Full length)
The COPS driver defaults to using Dayna mode. To change the driver's
mode if you built a driver with dual support use board_type=1 or
board_type=2 for Dayna or Tangent with insmod.
Operation/loading of the driver
===============================
Use modprobe like this: /sbin/modprobe cops.o (IO #) (IRQ #)
If you do not specify any options the driver will try and use the IO = 0x240,
IRQ = 5. As of right now I would only use IRQ 5 for the card, if autoprobing.
To load multiple COPS driver Localtalk cards you can do one of the following::
insmod cops io=0x240 irq=5
insmod -o cops2 cops io=0x260 irq=3
Or in lilo.conf put something like this::
append="ether=5,0x240,lt0 ether=3,0x260,lt1"
Then bring up the interface with ifconfig. It will look something like this::
lt0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-F7-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:600 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0
Netatalk Configuration
======================
You will need to configure atalkd with something like the following to make
it work with the cops.c driver.
* For single LTalk card use::
dummy -seed -phase 2 -net 2000 -addr 2000.10 -zone "1033"
lt0 -seed -phase 1 -net 1000 -addr 1000.50 -zone "1033"
* For multiple cards, Ethernet and LocalTalk::
eth0 -seed -phase 2 -net 3000 -addr 3000.20 -zone "1033"
lt0 -seed -phase 1 -net 1000 -addr 1000.50 -zone "1033"
* For multiple LocalTalk cards, and an Ethernet card.
* Order seems to matter here, Ethernet last::
lt0 -seed -phase 1 -net 1000 -addr 1000.10 -zone "LocalTalk1"
lt1 -seed -phase 1 -net 2000 -addr 2000.20 -zone "LocalTalk2"

Hi Simon,
Hi Simon,
I've installed your patch and it works great. I have trialed
it over twin SL/IP lines, just over null modems, but I was
able to data at over 48Kb/s [ISDN link -Simon]. I managed a
transfer of up to 7.5 Kbyte/s on one go, but averaged around
6.4 Kbyte/s, which I think is pretty cool. :)

These setting should work well in most environments, but can be
changed by typing the following command:
insmod <IA_DIR>/ia.o IA_RX_BUF=<RX_CNT> IA_RX_BUF_SZ=<RX_SIZE> \
IA_TX_BUF=<TX_CNT> IA_TX_BUF_SZ=<TX_SIZE>
Where:
RX_CNT = number of receive buffers in the range (1-128)
RX_SIZE = size of receive buffers in the range (48-64K)
TX_CNT = number of transmit buffers in the range (1-128)
TX_SIZE = size of transmit buffers in the range (48-64K)
changed by typing the following command::
1. Transmit and receive buffer size must be a multiple of 4.
2. Care should be taken so that the memory required for the
transmit and receive buffers is less than or equal to the
total adapter packet memory.

can provide more debug trace if needed. There is a bit mask variable,
IADebugFlag, which controls the output of the traces. You can find the bit
map of the IADebugFlag in iphase.h.

Kernel Connection Multiplexor

Kernel Connection Multiplexor (KCM) is a mechanism that provides a message based
interface over TCP for generic application protocols. With KCM an application
can efficiently send and receive application protocol messages over TCP using
datagram sockets.
