Since it is optional for platforms to implement DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING,

those that do not will simply ignore the attribute and exhibit default

behavior.

DMA_ATTR_WRITE_COMBINE

----------------------

DMA_ATTR_WRITE_COMBINE specifies that writes to the mapping may be

buffered to improve performance.

Since it is optional for platforms to implement DMA_ATTR_WRITE_COMBINE,

those that do not will simply ignore the attribute and exhibit default

behavior.

DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT

-----------------------

DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT lets the platform to choose to return either

consistent or non-consistent memory as it sees fit.  By using this API,

you are guaranteeing to the platform that you have all the correct and

necessary sync points for this memory in the driver.

	High Speed Synchronous Serial Interface (HSI) is a

	serial interface mainly used for connecting application

	engines (APE) with cellular modem engines (CMT) in cellular

	handsets.

	HSI provides multiplexing for up to 16 logical channels,

	low-latency and full duplex communication.

The cpus and mems files in the root (top_cpuset) cpuset are

read-only.  The cpus file automatically tracks the value of

cpu_online_map using a CPU hotplug notifier, and the mems file

cpu_online_mask using a CPU hotplug notifier, and the mems file

automatically tracks the value of node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY]--i.e.,

nodes with memory--using the cpuset_track_online_nodes() hook.

BIOS doesn't mark such hot-pluggable cpus as disabled entries, one could

use this parameter "additional_cpus=x" to represent those cpus in the

possible_cpus=n		[s390,x86_64] use this to set hotpluggable cpus.

CPU maps and such

[More on cpumaps and primitive to manipulate, please check

include/linux/cpumask.h that has more descriptive text.]

cpu_possible_map: Bitmap of possible CPUs that can ever be available in the

cpu_possible_mask: Bitmap of possible CPUs that can ever be available in the

system. This is used to allocate some boot time memory for per_cpu variables

that aren't designed to grow/shrink as CPUs are made available or removed.

Once set during boot time discovery phase, the map is static, i.e no bits

upfront can save some boot time memory. See below for how we use heuristics

in x86_64 case to keep this under check.

cpu_online_map: Bitmap of all CPUs currently online. Its set in __cpu_up()

cpu_online_mask: Bitmap of all CPUs currently online. Its set in __cpu_up()

after a cpu is available for kernel scheduling and ready to receive

interrupts from devices. Its cleared when a cpu is brought down using

__cpu_disable(), before which all OS services including interrupts are

migrated to another target CPU.

cpu_present_map: Bitmap of CPUs currently present in the system. Not all

cpu_present_mask: Bitmap of CPUs currently present in the system. Not all

of them may be online. When physical hotplug is processed by the relevant

subsystem (e.g ACPI) can change and new bit either be added or removed

from the map depending on the event is hot-add/hot-remove. There are currently

You really dont need to manipulate any of the system cpu maps. They should

be read-only for most use. When setting up per-cpu resources almost always use

cpu_possible_map/for_each_possible_cpu() to iterate.

cpu_possible_mask/for_each_possible_cpu() to iterate.

Never use anything other than cpumask_t to represent bitmap of CPUs.

	for_each_possible_cpu     - Iterate over cpu_possible_map

The above calls are used to inhibit cpu hotplug operations. While the

cpu_hotplug.refcount is non zero, the cpu_online_map will not change.

cpu_hotplug.refcount is non zero, the cpu_online_mask will not change.

If you merely need to avoid cpus going away, you could also use

preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() for those sections.

Just remember the critical section cannot call any
