Commit 015af2dd authored by Bart Samwel's avatar Bart Samwel Committed by Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Add documentation about /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode to various docs.

From: Bart Samwel <bart@samwel.tk>

A bunch of small laptop mode updates:

* Mention the laptop_mode and block_dump sysctls in the relevant docs,
  referring to the laptop-mode.txt. Improve description of what the
  laptop_mode knob means (i.e. seconds between last I/O and automatic
  sync).

* Document the most relevant config file options.

* Change the installation instructions in the laptop mode doc to describe
  the ACPI-bound version first, because this is the easiest. Explain
  the non-ACPI version afterwards. Added a reference to my "packaged
  version" of the scripts.

* Move the setting of hdparm and cpu frequency out of the ACPI script
  and into the core laptop mode script. Add config option DO_HD to
  enable hdparm. Add config setting HD to set device to do hdparm on.
  Rename Dax's CPU_MANAGE to DO_CPU, with 0/1 instead of yes/no, to
  improve consistency.

* Fix a problem where the root filesystem wouln't be remounted when
  /etc/mtab listed its type as "unknown". Deduce the type of "unknown"
  filesystems from /etc/fstab.

This depends on the patch that adds config files, which was submitted
to Linus by Dax Kelson on July 10.

laptop_mode is a knob that controls "laptop mode". All the things that are
controlled by this knob are discussed in Documentation/laptop-mode.txt.

block_dump enables block I/O debugging when set to a nonzero value. More

your convenience, a tarball containing an installer can be downloaded at:
# laptop_mode start
Then set your harddisk spindown time to a relatively low value with hdparm: http://www.xs4all.nl/~bsamwel/laptop_mode/tools
hdparm -S 4 /dev/hda To configure laptop mode, you need to edit the configuration file, which is
located in /etc/default/laptop-mode on Debian-based systems, or in
/etc/sysconfig/laptop-mode on other systems.

If 10 minutes is too much or too little downtime for you, you can configure
this downtime as follows. In the control script, set the MAX_AGE value to the
maximum number of seconds of disk downtime that you would like. You should
then set your filesystem's commit interval to the same value. The dirty ratio
is also configurable from the control script.
If you don't like the idea of the control script remounting your filesystems Configuration
for you, you can change DO_REMOUNTS to 0 in the script. -------------
The laptop mode configuration file is located in /etc/default/laptop-mode on
Debian-based systems, or in /etc/sysconfig/laptop-mode on other systems. It
contains the following options:
MAX_AGE:
Maximum time, in seconds, of hard drive spindown time that you are
confortable with. Worst case, it's possible that you could lose this
amount of work if your battery fails while you're in laptop mode.
AC_HD/BATT_HD:
The idle timeout that should be set on your hard drive when laptop mode
is active (BATT_HD) and when it is not active (AC_HD). The defaults are
20 seconds (value 4) for BATT_HD and 2 hours (value 244) for AC_HD. The
possible values are those listed in the manual page for "hdparm" for the
"-S" option.
HD:
The devices for which the spindown timeout should be adjusted by laptop mode.
Default is /dev/hda. If you specify multiple devices, separate them by a space.
READAHEAD:
Disk readahead, in 512-byte sectors, while laptop mode is active. A large
readahead can prevent disk accesses for things like executable pages (which are
loaded on demand while the application executes) and sequentially accessed data
(MP3s).
DO_REMOUNTS:
The control script automatically remounts any mounted journaled filesystems
with approriate commit interval options. When this option is set to 0, this
feature is disabled.
DO_REMOUNT_NOATIME:
When remounting, should the filesystems be remounted with the noatime option?
Normally, this is set to "1" (enabled), but there may be programs that require
access time recording.
DIRTY_RATIO:
The percentage of memory that is allowed to contain "dirty" or unsaved data
before a writeback is forced, while laptop mode is active. Corresponds to
the /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio sysctl.
DIRTY_BACKGROUND_RATIO:
The percentage of memory that is allowed to contain "dirty" or unsaved data
after a forced writeback is done due to an exceeding of DIRTY_RATIO. Set
this nice and low. This corresponds to the /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio
sysctl.
Thanks to Kiko Piris, the control script can be used to enable laptop mode on Note that the behaviour of dirty_background_ratio is quite different
both the Linux 2.4 and 2.6 series. when laptop mode is active and when it isn't. When laptop mode is inactive,
dirty_background_ratio is the threshold percentage at which background writeouts
start taking place. When laptop mode is active, however, background writeouts
are disabled, and the dirty_background_ratio only determines how much writeback
is done when dirty_ratio is reached.
DO_CPU:
Enable CPU frequency scaling when in laptop mode. (Requires CPUFreq to be setup.
See Documentation/cpu-freq/user-guide.txt for more info. Disabled by default.)
CPU_MAXFREQ:
When on battery, what is the maximum CPU speed that the system should use? Legal
values are "slowest" for the slowest speed that your CPU is able to operate at,
or a value listed in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies.

* One thing which will cause disks to spin up is not-present application
and dynamic library text pages. The kernel will load program text off disk
on-demand, so each time you invoke an application feature for the first
time, the kernel needs to spin the disk up to go and fetch that part of the
application.
So it is useful to increase the disk readahead parameter greatly, so that
the kernel will pull all of the executable's pages into memory on the first
pagefault.
