<title>Using uio_pdrv for platform devices</title>
<para>
In many cases, UIO drivers for platform devices can be handled in a
generic way. In the same place where you define your
<varname>struct platform_device</varname>, you simply also implement
your interrupt handler and fill your
<varname>struct uio_info</varname>. A pointer to this
<varname>struct uio_info</varname> is then used as
<varname>platform_data</varname> for your platform device.
</para>
<para>
You also need to set up an array of <varname>struct resource</varname>
containing addresses and sizes of your memory mappings. This
information is passed to the driver using the
<varname>.resource</varname> and <varname>.num_resources</varname>
elements of <varname>struct platform_device</varname>.
</para>
<para>
You now have to set the <varname>.name</varname> element of
<varname>struct platform_device</varname> to
<varname>"uio_pdrv"</varname> to use the generic UIO platform device
driver. This driver will fill the <varname>mem[]</varname> array
according to the resources given, and register the device.
</para>
<para>
The advantage of this approach is that you only have to edit a file
you need to edit anyway. You do not have to create an extra driver.

<sect1 id="using_uio_pdrv_genirq">
<title>Using uio_pdrv_genirq for platform devices</title>
<para>
Especially in embedded devices, you frequently find chips where the
irq pin is tied to its own dedicated interrupt line. In such cases,
where you can be really sure the interrupt is not shared, we can take
the concept of <varname>uio_pdrv</varname> one step further and use a
generic interrupt handler. That's what
<varname>uio_pdrv_genirq</varname> does.
</para>
<para>
The setup for this driver is the same as described above for
<varname>uio_pdrv</varname>, except that you do not implement an
interrupt handler. The <varname>.handler</varname> element of
<varname>struct uio_info</varname> must remain
<varname>NULL</varname>. The <varname>.irq_flags</varname> element
must not contain <varname>IRQF_SHARED</varname>.
</para>
<para>
You will set the <varname>.name</varname> element of
<varname>struct platform_device</varname> to
<varname>"uio_pdrv_genirq"</varname> to use this driver.
</para>
<para>
The generic interrupt handler of <varname>uio_pdrv_genirq</varname>
will simply disable the interrupt line using
<function>disable_irq_nosync()</function>. After doing its work,
userspace can reenable the interrupt by writing 0x00000001 to the UIO
device file. The driver already implements an
<function>irq_control()</function> to make this possible, you must not
implement your own.
</para>
<para>
Using <varname>uio_pdrv_genirq</varname> not only saves a few lines of
interrupt handler code. You also do not need to know anything about
the chip's internal registers to create the kernel part of the driver.
All you need to know is the irq number of the pin the chip is
connected to.

Besides management of swap is one of complicated parts of memcg,
call path of swap-in at swapoff is not same as usual swap-in path..
It's worth to be tested explicitly.

For example, test like following is good.
(Shell-A)
# mount -t cgroup none /cgroup -t memory
# mkdir /cgroup/test
# echo 40M > /cgroup/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
# echo 0 > /cgroup/test/tasks
Run malloc(100M) program under this. You'll see 60M of swaps.
(Shell-B)
# move all tasks in /cgroup/test to /cgroup
# /sbin/swapoff -a
# rmdir /test/cgroup
# kill malloc task.

Of course, tmpfs v.s. swapoff test should be tested, too.

values are in the range -16 to +15, plus the special value -17, which disables
oom-killing altogether for this process.

The process to be killed in an out-of-memory situation is selected among all others
based on its badness score. This value equals the original memory size of the process
and is then updated according to its CPU time (utime + stime) and the
run time (uptime - start time). The longer it runs the smaller is the score.
Badness score is divided by the square root of the CPU time and then by
the double square root of the run time.

Swapped out tasks are killed first. Half of each child's memory size is added to
the parent's score if they do not share the same memory. Thus forking servers
are the prime candidates to be killed. Having only one 'hungry' child will make
parent less preferable than the child.

/proc/<pid>/oom_score shows process' current badness score.

The following heuristics are then applied:
* if the task was reniced, its score doubles
* superuser or direct hardware access tasks (CAP_SYS_ADMIN, CAP_SYS_RESOURCE
or CAP_SYS_RAWIO) have their score divided by 4
* if oom condition happened in one cpuset and checked task does not belong
to it, its score is divided by 8
* the resulting score is multiplied by two to the power of oom_adj, i.e.
points <<= oom_adj when it is positive and
points >>= -(oom_adj) otherwise

The task with the highest badness score is then selected and its children
are killed, process itself will be killed in an OOM situation when it does
not have children or some of them disabled oom like described above.
