Merge tag 'pinctrl-v7.3-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrlgrafted
Pull pin control updates from Linus Walleij:
"Core changes:
- Use the non-blocking mux_state_try_select() in the generic MUX pin
control back-end
- Free pin maps on pinctrl_generic_to_map() failure in the core
helpers
New hardware pin control:
- Qualcomm Maili TLMM SoC, PMG1110 PMIC, and Eliza LPASS LPI TLMM SoC
(this is for the low power audio, LPASS = Low Power Audio SubSystem
portions)
- Upboard support on top of the Intel pin controller
- Apple T6030 and T6031 support (just compatible strings)
- Samsung Exynos 8855 SoC
- Mediatek MT6858 SoC
- Rockchip RK3308B and RV1106 SoCs
- Airoha EN7523 and AN7563 SoCs
Improvements:
- Qualcomm TLMM GPIOs are unconditionally marked as wakeup capable
- Qualcomm improvements on top of the Qualcomm PDC (power domain
controller) irqchip improvements from tglx:s tree
- Qualcomm IPQ806x and IPQ9650 non-urgent pin grop fixups
- The NPCM8xx driver has been put into shape fixing many pin and
group definitions
- Some non-urgent Tegra 264 pin assignments are fixed up
- Some non-urgent fixups to Airoha AN7581 and AN7583 registers and
pin assignments, missing features etc"

Doesn't sysfs + normally contain a single value per file? + +A. + By having a single file, the kernel can guarantee that the statistics + represent a consistent snapshot of the state of the device. If the + statistics were exported as multiple files containing one statistic + each, it would be impossible to guarantee that a set of readings + represent a single point in time. + +The stat file consists of a single line of text containing 17 decimal +values separated by whitespace. The fields are summarized in the +following table, and described in more detail below. + + +=============== ============= ================================================= +Name units description +=============== ============= ================================================= +read I/Os requests number of read I/Os processed +read merges requests number of read I/Os merged with in-queue I/O +read sectors sectors number of sectors read +read ticks milliseconds total wait time for read requests +write I/Os requests number of write I/Os processed +write merges requests number of write I/Os merged with in-queue I/O +write sectors sectors number of sectors written +write ticks milliseconds total wait time for write requests +in_flight requests number of I/Os currently in flight +io_ticks milliseconds total time this block device has been active +time_in_queue milliseconds total wait time for all requests +discard I/Os requests number of discard I/Os processed +discard merges requests number of discard I/Os merged with in-queue I/O +discard sectors sectors number of sectors discarded +discard ticks milliseconds total wait time for discard requests +flush I/Os requests number of flush I/Os processed +flush ticks milliseconds total wait time for flush requests +=============== ============= ================================================= + +read I/Os, write I/Os, discard I/0s +=================================== + +These values increment when an I/O request completes. + +flush I/Os +========== + +These values increment when an flush I/O request completes. + +Block layer combines flush requests and executes at most one at a time. +This counts flush requests executed by disk. Not tracked for partitions. + +read merges, write merges, discard merges +========================================= + +These values increment when an I/O request is merged with an +already-queued I/O request. + +read sectors, write sectors, discard_sectors +============================================ + +These values count the number of sectors read from, written to, or +discarded from this block device. The "sectors" in question are the +standard UNIX 512-byte sectors, not any device- or filesystem-specific +block size. The counters are incremented when the I/O completes. + +read ticks, write ticks, discard ticks, flush ticks +=================================================== + +These values count the number of milliseconds that I/O requests have +waited on this block device. If there are multiple I/O requests waiting, +these values will increase at a rate greater than 1000/second; for +example, if 60 read requests wait for an average of 30 ms, the read_ticks +field will increase by 60*30 = 1800. + +in_flight +========= + +This value counts the number of I/O requests that have been issued to +the device driver but have not yet completed. It does not include I/O +requests that are in the queue but not yet issued to the device driver. + +io_ticks +======== + +This value counts the number of milliseconds during which the device has +had I/O requests queued. + +time_in_queue +============= + +This value counts the number of milliseconds that I/O requests have waited +on this block device. If there are multiple I/O requests waiting, this +value will increase as the product of the number of milliseconds times the +number of requests waiting (see "read ticks" above for an example). |
