+ There is no safe way Linux can detect these devices, so this
+ is not enabled by default. If it is known that your device
+ does support the unload feature, then you can tell the kernel

+Description:

+
+ There are four possible options:
+
+ min_power: Tell the controller to try to make the link use the

+ power states.
+
+ max_performance: Generally, this means no power management.
+ Tell the controller to have performance be a priority over power
+ management.
+
+ medium_power: Tell the controller to enter a lower power state
+ when possible, but do not enter the lowest power state, thus
+ improving latency over min_power setting.
+
+ med_power_with_dipm: Identical to the existing medium_power
+ setting except that it enables dipm (device initiated power
+ management) on top, which makes it match the Windows IRST (Intel

+Description:
+ (RW) Option to disable this idle state (bool). The behavior and
+ the effect of the disable variable depends on the implementation
+ of a particular governor. In the ladder governor, for example,
+ it is not coherent, i.e. if one is disabling a light state, then
+ all deeper states are disabled as well, but the disable variable
+ does not reflect it. Likewise, if one enables a deep state but a
+ lighter state still is disabled, then this has no effect.

check really thoroughly that the hierarchy is correctly mapped; otherwise
you can get false positives or false negatives.
+Annotations
+-----------
+
+Two constructs can be used to annotate and check where and if certain locks
+must be held: lockdep_assert_held*(&lock) and lockdep_*pin_lock(&lock).
+
+As the name suggests, lockdep_assert_held* family of macros assert that a
+particular lock is held at a certain time (and generate a WARN() otherwise).
+This annotation is largely used all over the kernel, e.g. kernel/sched/
+core.c
+
+ void update_rq_clock(struct rq *rq)
+ {
+ s64 delta;
+
+ lockdep_assert_held(&rq->lock);
+ [...]
+ }
+
+where holding rq->lock is required to safely update a rq's clock.
+
+The other family of macros is lockdep_*pin_lock(), which is admittedly only
+used for rq->lock ATM. Despite their limited adoption these annotations
+generate a WARN() if the lock of interest is "accidentally" unlocked. This turns
+out to be especially helpful to debug code with callbacks, where an upper
+layer assumes a lock remains taken, but a lower layer thinks it can maybe drop
+and reacquire the lock ("unwittingly" introducing races). lockdep_pin_lock()
+returns a 'struct pin_cookie' that is then used by lockdep_unpin_lock() to check
+that nobody tampered with the lock, e.g. kernel/sched/sched.h
+
+ static inline void rq_pin_lock(struct rq *rq, struct rq_flags *rf)
+ {
+ rf->cookie = lockdep_pin_lock(&rq->lock);
+ [...]
+ }
+
+ static inline void rq_unpin_lock(struct rq *rq, struct rq_flags *rf)
+ {
+ [...]
+ lockdep_unpin_lock(&rq->lock, rf->cookie);
+ }
+
+While comments about locking requirements might provide useful information,
+the runtime checks performed by annotations are invaluable when debugging
+locking problems and they carry the same level of details when inspecting
+code. Always prefer annotations when in doubt!
+
Proof of 100% correctness:

--------------
Mutexes are represented by 'struct mutex', defined in include/linux/mutex.h
-and implemented in kernel/locking/mutex.c. These locks use a three
-state atomic counter (->count) to represent the different possible
-transitions that can occur during the lifetime of a lock:
-
- 1: unlocked
- 0: locked, no waiters
- negative: locked, with potential waiters
-
-In its most basic form it also includes a wait-queue and a spinlock
-that serializes access to it. CONFIG_SMP systems can also include
-a pointer to the lock task owner (->owner) as well as a spinner MCS
-lock (->osq), both described below in (ii).
+and implemented in kernel/locking/mutex.c. These locks use an atomic variable
+(->owner) to keep track of the lock state during its lifetime. Field owner
+actually contains 'struct task_struct *' to the current lock owner and it is
+therefore NULL if not currently owned. Since task_struct pointers are aligned
+at at least L1_CACHE_BYTES, low bits (3) are used to store extra state (e.g.,
+if waiter list is non-empty). In its most basic form it also includes a
+wait-queue and a spinlock that serializes access to it. Furthermore,
+CONFIG_MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER=y systems use a spinner MCS lock (->osq), described
+below in (ii).
When acquiring a mutex, there are three possible paths that can be
taken, depending on the state of the lock:
-(i) fastpath: tries to atomically acquire the lock by decrementing the
- counter. If it was already taken by another task it goes to the next
- possible path. This logic is architecture specific. On x86-64, the
- locking fastpath is 2 instructions:
-
- 0000000000000e10 <mutex_lock>:
- e21: f0 ff 0b lock decl (%rbx)
- e24: 79 08 jns e2e <mutex_lock+0x1e>
-
- the unlocking fastpath is equally tight:
-
- 0000000000000bc0 <mutex_unlock>:
- bc8: f0 ff 07 lock incl (%rdi)
- bcb: 7f 0a jg bd7 <mutex_unlock+0x17>
-
+(i) fastpath: tries to atomically acquire the lock by cmpxchg()ing the owner with
+ the current task. This only works in the uncontended case (cmpxchg() checks
+ against 0UL, so all 3 state bits above have to be 0). If the lock is
+ contended it goes to the next possible path.
(ii) midpath: aka optimistic spinning, tries to spin for acquisition
while the lock owner is running and there are no other tasks ready

+SCTP accelleration with GSO
+===========================
+
+SCTP - despite the lack of hardware support - can still take advantage of
+GSO to pass one large packet through the network stack, rather than
+multiple small packets.
+
+This requires a different approach to other offloads, as SCTP packets
+cannot be just segmented to (P)MTU. Rather, the chunks must be contained in
+IP segments, padding respected. So unlike regular GSO, SCTP can't just
+generate a big skb, set gso_size to the fragmentation point and deliver it
+to IP layer.
+
+Instead, the SCTP protocol layer builds an skb with the segments correctly
+padded and stored as chained skbs, and skb_segment() splits based on those.
+To signal this, gso_size is set to the special value GSO_BY_FRAGS.
+
+Therefore, any code in the core networking stack must be aware of the
+possibility that gso_size will be GSO_BY_FRAGS and handle that case
+appropriately.
+
+There are some helpers to make this easier:
+
+ - skb_is_gso(skb) && skb_is_gso_sctp(skb) is the best way to see if
+ an skb is an SCTP GSO skb.
+
+ - For size checks, the skb_gso_validate_*_len family of helpers correctly
+ considers GSO_BY_FRAGS.
+
+ - For manipulating packets, skb_increase_gso_size and skb_decrease_gso_size
+ will check for GSO_BY_FRAGS and WARN if asked to manipulate these skbs.
+
+This also affects drivers with the NETIF_F_FRAGLIST & NETIF_F_GSO_SCTP bits
+set. Note also that NETIF_F_GSO_SCTP is included in NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE.
