The other lines present the following data as +a sequence of unsigned decimal numeric fields. One line is shown +for each NFS thread pool. + +All counters are 64 bits wide and wrap naturally. There is no way +to zero these counters, instead applications should do their own +rate conversion. + +pool + The id number of the NFS thread pool to which this line applies. + This number does not change. + + Thread pool ids are a contiguous set of small integers starting + at zero. The maximum value depends on the thread pool mode, but + currently cannot be larger than the number of CPUs in the system. + Note that in the default case there will be a single thread pool + which contains all the nfsd threads and all the CPUs in the system, + and thus this file will have a single line with a pool id of "0". + +packets-arrived + Counts how many NFS packets have arrived. More precisely, this + is the number of times that the network stack has notified the + sunrpc server layer that new data may be available on a transport + (e.g. an NFS or UDP socket or an NFS/RDMA endpoint). + + Depending on the NFS workload patterns and various network stack + effects (such as Large Receive Offload) which can combine packets + on the wire, this may be either more or less than the number + of NFS calls received (which statistic is available elsewhere). + However this is a more accurate and less workload-dependent measure + of how much CPU load is being placed on the sunrpc server layer + due to NFS network traffic. + +sockets-enqueued + Counts how many times an NFS transport is enqueued to wait for + an nfsd thread to service it, i.e. no nfsd thread was considered + available. + + The circumstance this statistic tracks indicates that there was NFS + network-facing work to be done but it couldn't be done immediately, + thus introducing a small delay in servicing NFS calls. The ideal + rate of change for this counter is zero; significantly non-zero + values may indicate a performance limitation. + + This can happen either because there are too few nfsd threads in the + thread pool for the NFS workload (the workload is thread-limited), + or because the NFS workload needs more CPU time than is available in + the thread pool (the workload is CPU-limited). In the former case, + configuring more nfsd threads will probably improve the performance + of the NFS workload. In the latter case, the sunrpc server layer is + already choosing not to wake idle nfsd threads because there are too + many nfsd threads which want to run but cannot, so configuring more + nfsd threads will make no difference whatsoever. The overloads-avoided + statistic (see below) can be used to distinguish these cases. + +threads-woken + Counts how many times an idle nfsd thread is woken to try to + receive some data from an NFS transport. + + This statistic tracks the circumstance where incoming + network-facing NFS work is being handled quickly, which is a good + thing. The ideal rate of change for this counter will be close + to but less than the rate of change of the packets-arrived counter. + +overloads-avoided + Counts how many times the sunrpc server layer chose not to wake an + nfsd thread, despite the presence of idle nfsd threads, because + too many nfsd threads had been recently woken but could not get + enough CPU time to actually run. + + This statistic counts a circumstance where the sunrpc layer + heuristically avoids overloading the CPU scheduler with too many + runnable nfsd threads. The ideal rate of change for this counter + is zero. Significant non-zero values indicate that the workload + is CPU limited. Usually this is associated with heavy CPU usage + on all the CPUs in the nfsd thread pool. + + If a sustained large overloads-avoided rate is detected on a pool, + the top(1) utility should be used to check for the following + pattern of CPU usage on all the CPUs associated with the given + nfsd thread pool. + + - %us ~= 0 (as you're *NOT* running applications on your NFS server) + + - %wa ~= 0 + + - %id ~= 0 + + - %sy + %hi + %si ~= 100 + + If this pattern is seen, configuring more nfsd threads will *not* + improve the performance of the workload. If this patten is not + seen, then something more subtle is wrong. + +threads-timedout + Counts how many times an nfsd thread triggered an idle timeout, + i.e. was not woken to handle any incoming network packets for + some time. + + This statistic counts a circumstance where there are more nfsd + threads configured than can be used by the NFS workload. This is + a clue that the number of nfsd threads can be reduced without + affecting performance. Unfortunately, it's only a clue and not + a strong indication, for a couple of reasons: + + - Currently the rate at which the counter is incremented is quite + slow; the idle timeout is 60 minutes. Unless the NFS workload + remains constant for hours at a time, this counter is unlikely + to be providing information that is still useful. + + - It is usually a wise policy to provide some slack, + i.e. configure a few more nfsds than are currently needed, + to allow for future spikes in load. + + +Note that incoming packets on NFS transports will be dealt with in +one of three ways. An nfsd thread can be woken (threads-woken counts +this case), or the transport can be enqueued for later attention +(sockets-enqueued counts this case), or the packet can be temporarily +deferred because the transport is currently being used by an nfsd +thread.

ASoC +provides a version of this API adding two additional features: + + - It allows more than one jack detection method to work together on one + user visible jack. In embedded systems it is common for multiple + to be present on a single jack but handled by separate bits of + hardware. + + - Integration with DAPM, allowing DAPM endpoints to be updated + automatically based on the detected jack status (eg, turning off the + headphone outputs if no headphones are present). + +This is done by splitting the jacks up into three things working +together: the jack itself represented by a struct snd_soc_jack, sets of +snd_soc_jack_pins representing DAPM endpoints to update and blocks of +code providing jack reporting mechanisms. + +For example, a system may have a stereo headset jack with two reporting +mechanisms, one for the headphone and one for the microphone. Some +systems won't be able to use their speaker output while a headphone is +connected and so will want to make sure to update both speaker and +headphone when the headphone jack status changes. + +The jack - struct snd_soc_jack +============================== + +This represents a physical jack on the system and is what is visible to +user space. The jack itself is completely passive, it is set up by the +machine driver and updated by jack detection methods. + +Jacks are created by the machine driver calling snd_soc_jack_new(). + +snd_soc_jack_pin +================ + +These represent a DAPM pin to update depending on some of the status +bits supported by the jack. Each snd_soc_jack has zero or more of these +which are updated automatically. They are created by the machine driver +and associated with the jack using snd_soc_jack_add_pins(). The status +of the endpoint may configured to be the opposite of the jack status if +required (eg, enabling a built in microphone if a microphone is not +connected via a jack). + +Jack detection methods +====================== + +Actual jack detection is done by code which is able to monitor some +input to the system and update a jack by calling snd_soc_jack_report(), +specifying a subset of bits to update. The jack detection code should +be set up by the machine driver, taking configuration for the jack to +update and the set of things to report when the jack is connected. + +Often this is done based on the status of a GPIO - a handler for this is +provided by the snd_soc_jack_add_gpio() function. Other methods are +also available, for example integrated into CODECs. One example of +CODEC integrated jack detection can be see in the WM8350 driver. + +Each jack may have multiple reporting mechanisms, though it will need at +least one to be useful. + +Machine drivers +=============== + +These are all hooked together by the machine driver depending on the +system hardware.
