+Word of warning:  While the kernel allows device_create_file() and
+device_remove_file() to be called on a device at any time, userspace has
+strict expectations on when attributes get created.  When a new device is
+registered in the kernel, a uevent is generated to notify userspace (like
+udev) that a new device is available.  If attributes are added after the
+device is registered, then userspace won't get notified and userspace will
+not know about the new attributes.
+
+This is important for device driver that need to publish additional
+attributes for a device at driver probe time.  If the device driver simply
+calls device_create_file() on the device structure passed to it, then
+userspace will never be notified of the new attributes.  Instead, it should
+probably use class_create() and class->dev_attrs to set up a list of
+desired attributes in the modules_init function, and then in the .probe()
+hook, and then use device_create() to create a new device as a child
+of the probed device.  The new device will generate a new uevent and
+properly advertise the new attributes to userspace.
+
+For example, if a driver wanted to add the following attributes:
+struct device_attribute mydriver_attribs[] = {
+	__ATTR(port_count, 0444, port_count_show),
+	__ATTR(serial_number, 0444, serial_number_show),
+	NULL
+};
+
+Then in the module init function is would do:
+	mydriver_class = class_create(THIS_MODULE, "my_attrs");
+	mydriver_class.dev_attr = mydriver_attribs;
+
+And assuming 'dev' is the struct device passed into the probe hook, the driver
+probe function would do something like:
+	create_device(&mydriver_class, dev, chrdev, &private_data, "my_name");

+Debugfs exists as a simple way for kernel developers to make information
+available to user space.  Unlike /proc, which is only meant for information
+about a process, or sysfs, which has strict one-value-per-file rules,
+debugfs has no rules at all.  Developers can put any information they want
+there.  The debugfs filesystem is also intended to not serve as a stable
+ABI to user space; in theory, there are no stability constraints placed on
+files exported there.  The real world is not always so simple, though [1];
+even debugfs interfaces are best designed with the idea that they will need
+to be maintained forever.
+
+Debugfs is typically mounted with a command like:
+
+    mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
+
+(Or an equivalent /etc/fstab line). 
+
+Note that the debugfs API is exported GPL-only to modules.
+
+Code using debugfs should include <linux/debugfs.h>.  Then, the first order
+of business will be to create at least one directory to hold a set of
+debugfs files:
+
+    struct dentry *debugfs_create_dir(const char *name, struct dentry *parent);
+
+This call, if successful, will make a directory called name underneath the
+indicated parent directory.  If parent is NULL, the directory will be
+created in the debugfs root.  On success, the return value is a struct
+dentry pointer which can be used to create files in the directory (and to
+clean it up at the end).  A NULL return value indicates that something went
+wrong.  If ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) is returned, that is an indication that the
+kernel has been built without debugfs support and none of the functions
+described below will work.
+
+The most general way to create a file within a debugfs directory is with:
+
+    struct dentry *debugfs_create_file(const char *name, mode_t mode,
+				       struct dentry *parent, void *data,
+				       const struct file_operations *fops);
+
+Here, name is the name of the file to create, mode describes the access
+permissions the file should have, parent indicates the directory which
+should hold the file, data will be stored in the i_private field of the
+resulting inode structure, and fops is a set of file operations which
+implement the file's behavior.  At a minimum, the read() and/or write()
+operations should be provided; others can be included as needed.  Again,
+the return value will be a dentry pointer to the created file, NULL for
+error, or ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) if debugfs support is missing.
+
+In a number of cases, the creation of a set of file operations is not
+actually necessary; the debugfs code provides a number of helper functions
+for simple situations.  Files containing a single integer value can be
+created with any of:
+
+    struct dentry *debugfs_create_u8(const char *name, mode_t mode,
+				     struct dentry *parent, u8 *value);
+    struct dentry *debugfs_create_u16(const char *name, mode_t mode,
+				      struct dentry *parent, u16 *value);
+    struct dentry *debugfs_create_u32(const char *name, mode_t mode,
+				      struct dentry *parent, u32 *value);
+    struct dentry *debugfs_create_u64(const char *name, mode_t mode,
+				      struct dentry *parent, u64 *value);
+
+These files support both reading and writing the given value; if a specific
+file should not be written to, simply set the mode bits accordingly.  The
+values in these files are in decimal; if hexadecimal is more appropriate,
+the following functions can be used instead:
+
+    struct dentry *debugfs_create_x8(const char *name, mode_t mode,
+				     struct dentry *parent, u8 *value);
+    struct dentry *debugfs_create_x16(const char *name, mode_t mode,
+				      struct dentry *parent, u16 *value);
+    struct dentry *debugfs_create_x32(const char *name, mode_t mode,
+				      struct dentry *parent, u32 *value);
+
+Note that there is no debugfs_create_x64().
+
+These functions are useful as long as the developer knows the size of the
+value to be exported.  Some types can have different widths on different
+architectures, though, complicating the situation somewhat.  There is a
+function meant to help out in one special case:
+
+    struct dentry *debugfs_create_size_t(const char *name, mode_t mode,
+				         struct dentry *parent, 
+					 size_t *value);
+
+As might be expected, this function will create a debugfs file to represent
+a variable of type size_t.
+
+Boolean values can be placed in debugfs with:
+
+    struct dentry *debugfs_create_bool(const char *name, mode_t mode,
+				       struct dentry *parent, u32 *value);
+
+A read on the resulting file will yield either Y (for non-zero values) or
+N, followed by a newline.  If written to, it will accept either upper- or
+lower-case values, or 1 or 0.  Any other input will be silently ignored.
+
+Finally, a block of arbitrary binary data can be exported with:
+
+    struct debugfs_blob_wrapper {
+	void *data;
+	unsigned long size;
+    };
+
+    struct dentry *debugfs_create_blob(const char *name, mode_t mode,
+				       struct dentry *parent,
+				       struct debugfs_blob_wrapper *blob);
+
+A read of this file will return the data pointed to by the
+debugfs_blob_wrapper structure.  Some drivers use "blobs" as a simple way
+to return several lines of (static) formatted text output.  This function
+can be used to export binary information, but there does not appear to be
+any code which does so in the mainline.  Note that all files created with
+debugfs_create_blob() are read-only.
+
+There are a couple of other directory-oriented helper functions:
+
+    struct dentry *debugfs_rename(struct dentry *old_dir, 
+    				  struct dentry *old_dentry,
+		                  struct dentry *new_dir, 
+				  const char *new_name);
+
+    struct dentry *debugfs_create_symlink(const char *name, 
+                                          struct dentry *parent,
+				      	  const char *target);
+
+A call to debugfs_rename() will give a new name to an existing debugfs
+file, possibly in a different directory.  The new_name must not exist prior
+to the call; the return value is old_dentry with updated information.
+Symbolic links can be created with debugfs_create_symlink().
+
+There is one important thing that all debugfs users must take into account:
+there is no automatic cleanup of any directories created in debugfs.  If a
+module is unloaded without explicitly removing debugfs entries, the result
+will be a lot of stale pointers and no end of highly antisocial behavior.
+So all debugfs users - at least those which can be built as modules - must
+be prepared to remove all files and directories they create there.  A file
+can be removed with:
+
+    void debugfs_remove(struct dentry *dentry);
+
+The dentry value can be NULL, in which case nothing will be removed.
+
+Once upon a time, debugfs users were required to remember the dentry
+pointer for every debugfs file they created so that all files could be
+cleaned up.  We live in more civilized times now, though, and debugfs users
+can call:
+
+    void debugfs_remove_recursive(struct dentry *dentry);
+
+If this function is passed a pointer for the dentry corresponding to the
+top-level directory, the entire hierarchy below that directory will be
+removed.

Documentation/futex-requeue-pi.txt

+Futex Requeue PI
+----------------
+
+Requeueing of tasks from a non-PI futex to a PI futex requires
+special handling in order to ensure the underlying rt_mutex is never
+left without an owner if it has waiters; doing so would break the PI
+boosting logic [see rt-mutex-desgin.txt] For the purposes of
+brevity, this action will be referred to as "requeue_pi" throughout
+this document.  Priority inheritance is abbreviated throughout as
+"PI".
+
+Motivation
+----------
+
+Without requeue_pi, the glibc implementation of
+pthread_cond_broadcast() must resort to waking all the tasks waiting
+on a pthread_condvar and letting them try to sort out which task
+gets to run first in classic thundering-herd formation.  An ideal
+implementation would wake the highest-priority waiter, and leave the
+rest to the natural wakeup inherent in unlocking the mutex
+associated with the condvar.
+
+Consider the simplified glibc calls:
+
+/* caller must lock mutex */
+pthread_cond_wait(cond, mutex)
+{
+	lock(cond->__data.__lock);
+	unlock(mutex);
+	do {
+	   unlock(cond->__data.__lock);
+	   futex_wait(cond->__data.__futex);
+	   lock(cond->__data.__lock);
+	} while(...)
+	unlock(cond->__data.__lock);
+	lock(mutex);
+}
+
+pthread_cond_broadcast(cond)
+{
+	lock(cond->__data.__lock);
+	unlock(cond->__data.__lock);
+	futex_requeue(cond->data.__futex, cond->mutex);
+}
+
+Once pthread_cond_broadcast() requeues the tasks, the cond->mutex
+has waiters. Note that pthread_cond_wait() attempts to lock the
+mutex only after it has returned to user space.  This will leave the
+underlying rt_mutex with waiters, and no owner, breaking the
+previously mentioned PI-boosting algorithms.
+
+In order to support PI-aware pthread_condvar's, the kernel needs to
+be able to requeue tasks to PI futexes.  This support implies that
+upon a successful futex_wait system call, the caller would return to
+user space already holding the PI futex.  The glibc implementation
+would be modified as follows:
+
+
+/* caller must lock mutex */
+pthread_cond_wait_pi(cond, mutex)
+{
+	lock(cond->__data.__lock);
+	unlock(mutex);
+	do {
+	   unlock(cond->__data.__lock);
+	   futex_wait_requeue_pi(cond->__data.__futex);
+	   lock(cond->__data.__lock);
+	} while(...)
+	unlock(cond->__data.__lock);
+        /* the kernel acquired the the mutex for us */
+}
+
+pthread_cond_broadcast_pi(cond)
+{
+	lock(cond->__data.__lock);
+	unlock(cond->__data.__lock);
+	futex_requeue_pi(cond->data.__futex, cond->mutex);
+}
+
+The actual glibc implementation will likely test for PI and make the
+necessary changes inside the existing calls rather than creating new
+calls for the PI cases.  Similar changes are needed for
+pthread_cond_timedwait() and pthread_cond_signal().
+
+Implementation
+--------------
+
+In order to ensure the rt_mutex has an owner if it has waiters, it
+is necessary for both the requeue code, as well as the waiting code,
+to be able to acquire the rt_mutex before returning to user space.
+The requeue code cannot simply wake the waiter and leave it to
+acquire the rt_mutex as it would open a race window between the
+requeue call returning to user space and the waiter waking and
+starting to run.  This is especially true in the uncontended case.
+
+The solution involves two new rt_mutex helper routines,
+rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() and rt_mutex_finish_proxy_lock(), which
+allow the requeue code to acquire an uncontended rt_mutex on behalf
+of the waiter and to enqueue the waiter on a contended rt_mutex.
+Two new system calls provide the kernel<->user interface to
+requeue_pi: FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI and FUTEX_REQUEUE_CMP_PI.
+
+FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI is called by the waiter (pthread_cond_wait()
+and pthread_cond_timedwait()) to block on the initial futex and wait
+to be requeued to a PI-aware futex.  The implementation is the
+result of a high-speed collision between futex_wait() and
+futex_lock_pi(), with some extra logic to check for the additional
+wake-up scenarios.
+
+FUTEX_REQUEUE_CMP_PI is called by the waker
+(pthread_cond_broadcast() and pthread_cond_signal()) to requeue and
+possibly wake the waiting tasks. Internally, this system call is
+still handled by futex_requeue (by passing requeue_pi=1).  Before
+requeueing, futex_requeue() attempts to acquire the requeue target
+PI futex on behalf of the top waiter.  If it can, this waiter is
+woken.  futex_requeue() then proceeds to requeue the remaining
+nr_wake+nr_requeue tasks to the PI futex, calling
+rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() prior to each requeue to prepare the
+task as a waiter on the underlying rt_mutex.  It is possible that
+the lock can be acquired at this stage as well, if so, the next
+waiter is woken to finish the acquisition of the lock.
+
+FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI accepts nr_wake and nr_requeue as arguments, but
+their sum is all that really matters.  futex_requeue() will wake or
+requeue up to nr_wake + nr_requeue tasks.  It will wake only as many
+tasks as it can acquire the lock for, which in the majority of cases
+should be 0 as good programming practice dictates that the caller of
+either pthread_cond_broadcast() or pthread_cond_signal() acquire the
+mutex prior to making the call. FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI requires that
+nr_wake=1.  nr_requeue should be INT_MAX for broadcast and 0 for
+signal.

+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for Texas Instruments TMP401 and
+TMP411 chips. These chips implements one remote and one local
+temperature sensor. Temperature is measured in degrees
+Celsius. Resolution of the remote sensor is 0.0625 degree. Local
+sensor resolution can be set to 0.5, 0.25, 0.125 or 0.0625 degree (not
+supported by the driver so far, so using the default resolution of 0.5
+degree).
+
+The driver provides the common sysfs-interface for temperatures (see
+/Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface under Temperatures).
+
+The TMP411 chip is compatible with TMP401. It provides some additional
+features.
+
+* Minimum and Maximum temperature measured since power-on, chip-reset

+
+* Reset of historical minimum/maximum temperature measurements

+Kernel Memory Leak Detector
+===========================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Kmemleak provides a way of detecting possible kernel memory leaks in a
+way similar to a tracing garbage collector
+(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_collection_%28computer_science%29#Tracing_garbage_collectors),
+with the difference that the orphan objects are not freed but only
+reported via /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak. A similar method is used by the
+Valgrind tool (memcheck --leak-check) to detect the memory leaks in
+user-space applications.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK in "Kernel hacking" has to be enabled. A kernel
+thread scans the memory every 10 minutes (by default) and prints any new
+unreferenced objects found. To trigger an intermediate scan and display
+all the possible memory leaks:
+
+  # mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug/
+  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
+
+Note that the orphan objects are listed in the order they were allocated
+and one object at the beginning of the list may cause other subsequent
+objects to be reported as orphan.
+
+Memory scanning parameters can be modified at run-time by writing to the
+/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak file. The following parameters are supported:
+
+  off		- disable kmemleak (irreversible)
+  stack=on	- enable the task stacks scanning
+  stack=off	- disable the tasks stacks scanning
+  scan=on	- start the automatic memory scanning thread
+  scan=off	- stop the automatic memory scanning thread
+  scan=<secs>	- set the automatic memory scanning period in seconds (0
+		  to disable it)
+
+Kmemleak can also be disabled at boot-time by passing "kmemleak=off" on
+the kernel command line.
+
+Basic Algorithm
+---------------
+
+The memory allocations via kmalloc, vmalloc, kmem_cache_alloc and
+friends are traced and the pointers, together with additional
+information like size and stack trace, are stored in a prio search tree.
+The corresponding freeing function calls are tracked and the pointers
+removed from the kmemleak data structures.
+
+An allocated block of memory is considered orphan if no pointer to its
+start address or to any location inside the block can be found by
+scanning the memory (including saved registers). This means that there
+might be no way for the kernel to pass the address of the allocated
+block to a freeing function and therefore the block is considered a
+memory leak.
+
+The scanning algorithm steps:
+
+  1. mark all objects as white (remaining white objects will later be
+     considered orphan)
+  2. scan the memory starting with the data section and stacks, checking
+     the values against the addresses stored in the prio search tree. If
+     a pointer to a white object is found, the object is added to the
+     gray list
+  3. scan the gray objects for matching addresses (some white objects
+     can become gray and added at the end of the gray list) until the
+     gray set is finished
+  4. the remaining white objects are considered orphan and reported via
+     /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
+
+Some allocated memory blocks have pointers stored in the kernel's
+internal data structures and they cannot be detected as orphans. To
+avoid this, kmemleak can also store the number of values pointing to an
+address inside the block address range that need to be found so that the
+block is not considered a leak. One example is __vmalloc().
+
+Kmemleak API
+------------
+
+See the include/linux/kmemleak.h header for the functions prototype.
+
+kmemleak_init		 - initialize kmemleak
+kmemleak_alloc		 - notify of a memory block allocation
+kmemleak_free		 - notify of a memory block freeing
+kmemleak_not_leak	 - mark an object as not a leak
+kmemleak_ignore		 - do not scan or report an object as leak
+kmemleak_scan_area	 - add scan areas inside a memory block
+kmemleak_no_scan	 - do not scan a memory block
+kmemleak_erase		 - erase an old value in a pointer variable
+kmemleak_alloc_recursive - as kmemleak_alloc but checks the recursiveness
+kmemleak_free_recursive	 - as kmemleak_free but checks the recursiveness
+
+Dealing with false positives/negatives
+--------------------------------------
+
+The false negatives are real memory leaks (orphan objects) but not
+reported by kmemleak because values found during the memory scanning
+point to such objects. To reduce the number of false negatives, kmemleak
+provides the kmemleak_ignore, kmemleak_scan_area, kmemleak_no_scan and
+kmemleak_erase functions (see above). The task stacks also increase the
+amount of false negatives and their scanning is not enabled by default.
+
+The false positives are objects wrongly reported as being memory leaks
+(orphan). For objects known not to be leaks, kmemleak provides the
+kmemleak_not_leak function. The kmemleak_ignore could also be used if
+the memory block is known not to contain other pointers and it will no
+longer be scanned.
+
+Some of the reported leaks are only transient, especially on SMP
+systems, because of pointers temporarily stored in CPU registers or
+stacks. Kmemleak defines MSECS_MIN_AGE (defaulting to 1000) representing
+the minimum age of an object to be reported as a memory leak.
+
+Limitations and Drawbacks
+-------------------------
+
+The main drawback is the reduced performance of memory allocation and
+freeing. To avoid other penalties, the memory scanning is only performed
+when the /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak file is read. Anyway, this tool is
+intended for debugging purposes where the performance might not be the
+most important requirement.
+
+To keep the algorithm simple, kmemleak scans for values pointing to any
+address inside a block's address range. This may lead to an increased
+number of false negatives. However, it is likely that a real memory leak
+will eventually become visible.
+
+Another source of false negatives is the data stored in non-pointer
+values. In a future version, kmemleak could only scan the pointer
+members in the allocated structures. This feature would solve many of
+the false negative cases described above.
+
+The tool can report false positives. These are cases where an allocated
+block doesn't need to be freed (some cases in the init_call functions),
+the pointer is calculated by other methods than the usual container_of
+macro or the pointer is stored in a location not scanned by kmemleak.
+
+Page allocations and ioremap are not tracked. Only the ARM and x86
+architectures are currently supported.

+---------------------------
+
+Sleeping and waking on an event flagged in global data can be viewed as an
+interaction between two pieces of data: the task state of the task waiting for
+the event and the global data used to indicate the event.  To make sure that
+these appear to happen in the right order, the primitives to begin the process
+of going to sleep, and the primitives to initiate a wake up imply certain
+barriers.
+
+Firstly, the sleeper normally follows something like this sequence of events:
+
+	for (;;) {
+		set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
+		if (event_indicated)
+			break;
+		schedule();
+	}
+
+A general memory barrier is interpolated automatically by set_current_state()
+after it has altered the task state:
+
+	CPU 1
+	===============================
+	set_current_state();
+	  set_mb();
+	    STORE current->state
+	    <general barrier>
+	LOAD event_indicated
+
+set_current_state() may be wrapped by:
+
+	prepare_to_wait();
+	prepare_to_wait_exclusive();
+
+which therefore also imply a general memory barrier after setting the state.
+The whole sequence above is available in various canned forms, all of which
+interpolate the memory barrier in the right place:
+
+	wait_event();
+	wait_event_interruptible();
+	wait_event_interruptible_exclusive();
+	wait_event_interruptible_timeout();
+	wait_event_killable();
+	wait_event_timeout();
+	wait_on_bit();
+	wait_on_bit_lock();
+
+
+Secondly, code that performs a wake up normally follows something like this:
+
+	event_indicated = 1;
+	wake_up(&event_wait_queue);
+
+or:
+
+	event_indicated = 1;
+	wake_up_process(event_daemon);
+
+A write memory barrier is implied by wake_up() and co. if and only if they wake
+something up.  The barrier occurs before the task state is cleared, and so sits
+between the STORE to indicate the event and the STORE to set TASK_RUNNING:
+
+	CPU 1				CPU 2
+	===============================	===============================
+	set_current_state();		STORE event_indicated
+	  set_mb();			wake_up();
+	    STORE current->state	  <write barrier>
+	    <general barrier>		  STORE current->state
+	LOAD event_indicated
+
+The available waker functions include:
+
+	complete();
+	wake_up();
+	wake_up_all();
+	wake_up_bit();
+	wake_up_interruptible();
+	wake_up_interruptible_all();
+	wake_up_interruptible_nr();
+	wake_up_interruptible_poll();
+	wake_up_interruptible_sync();
+	wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll();
+	wake_up_locked();
+	wake_up_locked_poll();
+	wake_up_nr();
+	wake_up_poll();
+	wake_up_process();
+
+
+[!] Note that the memory barriers implied by the sleeper and the waker do _not_
+order multiple stores before the wake-up with respect to loads of those stored
+values after the sleeper has called set_current_state().  For instance, if the
+sleeper does:
+
+	set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
+	if (event_indicated)
+		break;
+	__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
+	do_something(my_data);
+
+and the waker does:
+
+	my_data = value;
+	event_indicated = 1;
+	wake_up(&event_wait_queue);
+
+there's no guarantee that the change to event_indicated will be perceived by
+the sleeper as coming after the change to my_data.  In such a circumstance, the
+code on both sides must interpolate its own memory barriers between the
+separate data accesses.  Thus the above sleeper ought to do:
+
+	set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
+	if (event_indicated) {
+		smp_rmb();
+		do_something(my_data);
+	}
+
+and the waker should do:
+
+	my_data = value;
+	smp_wmb();
+	event_indicated = 1;
+	wake_up(&event_wait_queue);
+

+  6.5.2 Setting the CAN bit-timing
+
+  The CAN bit-timing parameters can always be defined in a hardware
+  independent format as proposed in the Bosch CAN 2.0 specification

+  and "sjw":
+
+    $ ip link set canX type can tq 125 prop-seg 6 \
+				phase-seg1 7 phase-seg2 2 sjw 1
+
+  If the kernel option CONFIG_CAN_CALC_BITTIMING is enabled, CIA
+  recommended CAN bit-timing parameters will be calculated if the bit-
+  rate is specified with the argument "bitrate":
+
+    $ ip link set canX type can bitrate 125000
+
+  Note that this works fine for the most common CAN controllers with
+  standard bit-rates but may *fail* for exotic bit-rates or CAN system
+  clock frequencies. Disabling CONFIG_CAN_CALC_BITTIMING saves some
+  space and allows user-space tools to solely determine and set the
+  bit-timing parameters. The CAN controller specific bit-timing
+  constants can be used for that purpose. They are listed by the
+  following command:
+
+    $ ip -details link show can0
+    ...
+      sja1000: clock 8000000 tseg1 1..16 tseg2 1..8 sjw 1..4 brp 1..64 brp-inc 1
+
+  6.5.3 Starting and stopping the CAN network device
+
+  A CAN network device is started or stopped as usual with the command
+  "ifconfig canX up/down" or "ip link set canX up/down". Be aware that
+  you *must* define proper bit-timing parameters for real CAN devices
+  before you can start it to avoid error-prone default settings:
+
+    $ ip link set canX up type can bitrate 125000
+
+  A device may enter the "bus-off" state if too much errors occurred on
+  the CAN bus. Then no more messages are received or sent. An automatic
+  bus-off recovery can be enabled by setting the "restart-ms" to a
+  non-zero value, e.g.:
+
+    $ ip link set canX type can restart-ms 100
+
+  Alternatively, the application may realize the "bus-off" condition
+  by monitoring CAN error frames and do a restart when appropriate with
+  the command:
+
+    $ ip link set canX type can restart
+
+  Note that a restart will also create a CAN error frame (see also
+  chapter 3.4).

+The address family, socket addresses etc. are defined in the
+include/net/ieee802154/af_ieee802154.h header or in the special header
+in our userspace package (see either linux-zigbee sourceforge download page

+MLME - MAC Level Management
+============================
+
+Most of IEEE 802.15.4 MLME interfaces are directly mapped on netlink commands.
+See the include/net/ieee802154/nl802154.h header. Our userspace tools package
+(see above) provides CLI configuration utility for radio interfaces and simple
+coordinator for IEEE 802.15.4 networks as an example users of MLME protocol.
+
+
+Kernel side
+=============
+
+Like with WiFi, there are several types of devices implementing IEEE 802.15.4.
+1) 'HardMAC'. The MAC layer is implemented in the device itself, the device
+   exports MLME and data API.
+2) 'SoftMAC' or just radio. These types of devices are just radio transceivers
+   possibly with some kinds of acceleration like automatic CRC computation and
+   comparation, automagic ACK handling, address matching, etc.
+
+Those types of devices require different approach to be hooked into Linux kernel.
+
+
+HardMAC
+=======
+
+See the header include/net/ieee802154/netdevice.h. You have to implement Linux
+net_device, with .type = ARPHRD_IEEE802154. Data is exchanged with socket family
+code via plain sk_buffs. The control block of sk_buffs will contain additional
+info as described in the struct ieee802154_mac_cb.
+
+To hook the MLME interface you have to populate the ml_priv field of your
+net_device with a pointer to struct ieee802154_mlme_ops instance. All fields are
+required.
+
+We provide an example of simple HardMAC driver at drivers/ieee802154/fakehard.c
+
+
+SoftMAC
+=======
+
+We are going to provide intermediate layer impelementing IEEE 802.15.4 MAC
+in software. This is currently WIP.
+
+See header include/net/ieee802154/mac802154.h and several drivers in
