Currently if user wishes to enable the host trace buffer during driver load
time, then user has to load the driver with module parameter
'diag_buffer_enable' set to one.
Alternatively now the user can enable host trace buffer by enabling the
following fields in manufacturing page11 in NVDATA (nvdata xml is used
while building HBA firmware image):
* HostTraceBufferMaxSizeKB - Maximum trace buffer size in KB that host can
allocate,
* HostTraceBufferMinSizeKB - Minimum trace buffer size in KB atleast host
should allocate,
* HostTraceBufferDecrementSizeKB - size by which host can reduce from
buffer size and retry the buffer allocation
when buffer allocation failed with previous
calculated buffer size.
The driver will register the trace buffer automatically without any module
parameter during boot time when above fields are enabled in manufacturing
page11 in HBA firmware.
Driver follows the following algorithm for enabling the host trace buffer
during driver load time:
* If user has loaded the driver with module parameter 'diag_buffer_enable'
set to one, then driver allocates 2MB buffer and registers this buffer
with HBA firmware for capturing the firmware trace logs.
* Else driver reads manufacture page11 data and checks whether
HostTraceBufferMaxSizeKB filed is zero or not?
- If HostTraceBufferMaxSizeKB is non-zero then driver tries to allocate
HostTraceBufferMaxSizeKB size of memory. If the buffer allocation is
successful, then it will register this buffer with HBA firmware, else
in a loop the driver will try again by reducing the current buffer size
with HostTraceBufferDecrementSizeKB size until memory allocation is
successful or buffer size falls below HostTraceBufferMinSizeKB. If the
memory allocation is successful, then the buffer will be registered
with the firmware. Else, if the buffer size falls below the
HostTraceBufferMinSizeKB, then driver won't register trace buffer with
HBA firmware.
- If HostTraceBufferMaxSizeKB is zero, then driver won't register trace
buffer with HBA firmware.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
