peripheral drivers can determine where in the devstat(9) list they are inserted. This requires recompilation of libdevstat, systat, vmstat, rpc.rstatd, and any ports that depend on the devstat code, since the size of the devstat structure has changed. The devstat version number has been incremented as well to reflect the change. This sorts devices in the devstat list in "more interesting" to "less interesting" order. So, for instance, da devices are now more important than floppy drives, and so will appear before floppy drives in the default output from systat, iostat, vmstat, etc. The order of devices is, for now, kept in a central table in devicestat.h. If individual drivers were able to make a meaningful decision on what priority they should be at attach time, we could consider splitting the priority information out into the various drivers. For now, though, they have no way of knowing that, so it's easier to put them in an easy to find table. Also, move the checkversion() call in vmstat(8) to a more logical place. Thanks to Bruce and David O'Brien for suggestions, for reviewing this, and for putting up with the long time it has taken me to commit it. Bruce did object somewhat to the central priority table (he would rather the priorities be distributed in each driver), so his objection is duly noted here. Reviewed by: bde, obrien

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The devstat subsystem is an interface for recording device
|
|
statistics, as its name implies. The idea is to keep reasonably detailed
|
|
statistics while utilizing a minimum amount of CPU time to record them.
|
|
Thus, no statistical calculations are actually performed in the kernel
|
|
portion of the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
code. Instead, that is left for user programs to handle.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn devstat_add_entry
|
|
registers a device with the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
subsystem. The caller is expected to have already allocated \fBand zeroed\fR
|
|
the devstat structure before calling this function.
|
|
.Fn devstat_add_entry
|
|
takes several arguments:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width device_type
|
|
.It ds
|
|
The
|
|
.Va devstat
|
|
structure, allocated and zeroed by the client.
|
|
.It dev_name
|
|
The device name. e.g. da, cd, sa.
|
|
.It unit_number
|
|
Device unit number.
|
|
.It block_size
|
|
Block size of the device, if supported. If the device does not support a
|
|
block size, or if the blocksize is unknown at the time the device is added
|
|
to the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
list, it should be set to 0.
|
|
.It flags
|
|
Flags indicating operations supported or not supported by the device. See
|
|
below for details.
|
|
.It device_type
|
|
The device type. This is broken into three sections: base device type
|
|
(e.g. direct access, CDROM, sequential access), interface type (IDE, SCSI
|
|
or other) and a passthrough flag to indicate pasthrough devices. See below
|
|
for a complete list of types.
|
|
.It priority
|
|
The device priority. The priority is used to determine how devices are
|
|
sorted within
|
|
.Nm devstat's
|
|
list of devices. Devices are sorted first by priority (highest to lowest),
|
|
and then by attach order. See below for a complete list of available
|
|
priorities.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn devstat_remove_entry
|
|
removes a device from the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
subsystem. It takes the devstat structure for the device in question as
|
|
an argument. The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
generation number is incremented and the number of devices is decremented.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn devstat_start_transaction
|
|
registers the start of a transaction with the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
subsystem. The busy count is incremented with each transaction start.
|
|
When a device goes from idle to busy, the system uptime is recorded in the
|
|
.Va start_time
|
|
field of the
|
|
.Va devstat
|
|
structure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn devstat_end_transaction
|
|
registers the end of a transaction with the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
subsystem. It takes four arguments:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width tag_type
|
|
.It ds
|
|
The
|
|
.Va devstat
|
|
structure for the device in question.
|
|
.It bytes
|
|
The number of bytes transferred in this transaction.
|
|
.It tag_type
|
|
Transaction tag type. See below for tag types.
|
|
.It flags
|
|
Transaction flags indicating whether the transaction was a read, write, or
|
|
whether no data was transferred.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Va devstat
|
|
structure is composed of the following fields:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width dev_creation_time
|
|
.It dev_links
|
|
Each
|
|
.Va devstat
|
|
structure is placed in a linked list when it is registered. The
|
|
.Va dev_links
|
|
field contains a pointer to the next entry in the list of
|
|
.Va devstat
|
|
structures.
|
|
.It device_number
|
|
The device number is a unique identifier for each device. The device
|
|
number is incremented for each new device that is registered. The device
|
|
number is currently only a 32-bit integer, but it could be enlarged if
|
|
someone has a system with more than four billion device arrival events.
|
|
.It device_name
|
|
The device name is a text string given by the registering driver to
|
|
identify itself. (e.g.
|
|
.Dq da ,
|
|
.Dq cd ,
|
|
.Dq sa ,
|
|
etc.)
|
|
.It unit_number
|
|
The unit number identifies the particular instance of the peripheral driver
|
|
in question.
|
|
.It bytes_written
|
|
This is the number of bytes that have been written to the device. This
|
|
number is currently an unsigned 64 bit integer. This will hopefully
|
|
eliminate the counter wrap that would come very quickly on some systems if
|
|
32 bit integers were used.
|
|
.It bytes_read
|
|
This is the number of bytes that have been read from the device.
|
|
.It num_reads
|
|
This is the number of reads from the device.
|
|
.It num_writes
|
|
This is the number of writes to the device.
|
|
.It num_other
|
|
This is the number of transactions to the device which are neither reads or
|
|
writes. For instance,
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
drivers often send a test unit ready command to
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
devices. The test unit ready command does not read or write any data. It
|
|
merely causes the device to return its status.
|
|
.It busy_count
|
|
This is the current number of outstanding transactions for the device.
|
|
This should never go below zero, and on an idle device it should be zero.
|
|
If either one of these conditions is not true, it indicates a problem in
|
|
the way
|
|
.Fn devstat_start_transaction
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn devstat_end_transaction
|
|
are being called in client code. There should be one and only one
|
|
transaction start event and one transaction end event for each transaction.
|
|
.It block_size
|
|
This is the block size of the device, if the device has a block size.
|
|
.It tag_types
|
|
This is an array of counters to record the number of various tag types that
|
|
are sent to a device. See below for a list of tag types.
|
|
.It dev_creation_time
|
|
This is the time, as reported by
|
|
.Fn getmicrotime
|
|
that the device was registered.
|
|
.It busy_time
|
|
This is the amount of time that the device busy count has been greater than
|
|
zero. This is only updated when the busy count returns to zero.
|
|
.It start_time
|
|
This is the time, as reported by
|
|
.Fn getmicrouptime
|
|
that the device busy count went from zero to one.
|
|
.It last_comp_time
|
|
This is the time as reported by
|
|
.Fn getmicrouptime
|
|
that a transaction last completed. It is used along with
|
|
.Va start_time
|
|
to calculate the device busy time.
|
|
.It flags
|
|
These flags indicate which statistics measurements are supported by a
|
|
particular device. These flags are primarily intended to serve as an aid
|
|
to userland programs that decipher the statistics.
|
|
.It device_type
|
|
This is the device type. It consists of three parts: the device type
|
|
(e.g. direct access, CDROM, sequential access, etc.), the interface (IDE,
|
|
SCSI or other) and whether or not the device in question is a passthrough
|
|
driver. See below for a complete list of device types.
|
|
.It priority
|
|
This is the priority. This is the first parameter used to determine where
|
|
to insert a device in the
|
|
.Nm devstat
|
|
list. The second parameter is attach order. See below for a list of
|
|
available priorities.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each device is given a device type. Passthrough devices have the same
|
|
underlying device type and interface as the device they provide an
|
|
interface for, but they also have the passthrough flag set. The base
|
|
device types are identical to the
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
device type numbers, so with
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
peripherals, the device type returned from an inquiry is usually ORed with
|
|
the
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
interface type and the passthrough flag if appropriate. The device type
|
|
flags are as follows:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent

|
|
Devices have a priority associated with them, which controls roughly where
|
|
they are placed in the
|
|
.Nm devstat
|
|
list. The priorities are as follows:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
typedef enum {
|
|
DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_MIN = 0x000,
|
|
DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_OTHER = 0x020,
|
|
DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_PASS = 0x030,
|
|
DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_FD = 0x040,
|
|
DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_WFD = 0x050,
|
|
DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_SA = 0x060,
|
|
DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_OCD = 0x070,
|
|
DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_WCD = 0x080,
|
|
DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_CD = 0x090,
|
|
DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_WD = 0x100,
|
|
DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_DA = 0x110,
|
|
DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_CCD = 0x120,
|
|
DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_MAX = 0xfff
|
|
} devstat_priority;
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each device has associated with it flags to indicate what operations are
|
|
supported or not supported. The
|
|
.Va devstat_support_flags
|
|
values are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width DEVSTAT_NO_ORDERED_TAGS
|
|
.It DEVSTAT_ALL_SUPPORTED
|
|
Every statistic type is supported by the device.
|
|
.It DEVSTAT_NO_BLOCKSIZE
|
|
This device does not have a blocksize.
|
|
.It DEVSTAT_NO_ORDERED_TAGS
|
|
This device does not support ordered tags.
|
|
.It DEVSTAT_BS_UNAVAILABLE
|
|
This device supports a blocksize, but it is currently unavailable. This
|
|
flag is most often used with removable media drives.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Transactions to a device fall into one of three categories, which are
|
|
represented in the
|
|
.Va flags
|
|
passed into
|
|
.Fn devstat_end_transaction .
|
|
The transaction types are as follows:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
typedef enum {
|
|
DEVSTAT_NO_DATA = 0x00,
|
|
DEVSTAT_READ = 0x01,
|
|
DEVSTAT_WRITE = 0x02
|
|
} devstat_trans_flags;
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There are four possible values for the
|
|
.Va tag_type
|
|
argument to
|
|
.Fn devstat_end_transaction :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width DEVSTAT_TAG_ORDERED
|
|
.It DEVSTAT_TAG_SIMPLE
|
|
The transaction had a simple tag.
|
|
.It DEVSTAT_TAG_HEAD
|
|
The transaction had a head of queue tag.
|
|
.It DEVSTAT_TAG_ORDERED
|
|
The transaction had an ordered tag.
|
|
.It DEVSTAT_TAG_NONE
|
|
The device doesn't support tags.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The tag type values correspond to the lower four bits of the
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
tag definitions. In CAM, for instance, the
|
|
.Va tag_action
|
|
from the CCB is ORed with 0xf to determine the tag type to pass in to
|
|
.Fn devstat_end_transaction .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There is a macro,
|
|
.Dv DEVSTAT_VERSION
|
|
that is defined in
|
|
.Aq sys/devicestat.h .
|
|
This is the current version of the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
subsystem, and it should be incremented each time a change is made that
|
|
would require recompilation of userland programs that access
|
|
.Nm
|
|
statistics. Userland programs use this version, via the
|
|
.Va kern.devstat.version
|
|
.Nm sysctl
|
|
variable to determine whether they are in sync with the kernel
|
|
.Nm
|
|
structures.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
There may be a need for
|
|
.Fn spl
|
|
protection around some of the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
list manipulation code to insure, for example, that the list of devices
|
|
is not changed while someone is fetching the
|
|
.Va kern.devstat.all
|
|
.Nm sysctl
|
|
variable.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is impossible with the current
|
|
.Nm
|
|
architecture to accurately measure time per transaction. The only feasible
|
|
way to accurately measure time per transaction would be to record a
|
|
timestamp for every transaction. This measurement is probably not
|
|
worthwhile for most people as it would adversely affect the performance of
|
|
the system and cost space to store the timestamps for individual
|
|
transactions.
