Subject: [PATCH 25/25] Documentation: sysfs-block-device: document command duration limits
From: Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@...nsource.wdc.com>
Document ABI/testing/sysfs-block-device the sysfs attributes present
under /sys/block/*/device/duration_limits for ATA and SCSI devices
supporting the command duration limits feature.

+Description:
+ (RW) For ATA and SCSI devices supporting the command duration
+ limits feature, write to the file to turn on or off the
+ feature. By default this feature is turned off. If the device
+ does not support the command duration limits feature, this
+ attribute does not exist (the directory
+ "/sys/block/*/device/duration_limits" does not exist).
+ Writing "1" to this file enables the use of command duration
+ limits for read and write commands in the kernel and turns on
+ the feature on the device. Writing "0" disables the feature.

+Description:
+ (RO) For ATA and SCSI devices supporting the command duration
+ limits feature, this shows the set of 7 command duration limits
+ descriptors for read commands currently set on the device. For
+ each of the 7 descritors, the following read-only attributes
+ are present:
+
+ - duration_guideline: specifies the preferred length of time
+ in microseconds for the completion of a command.
+
+ - duration_guideline_policy: specifies the policy action
+ taken if the duration_guideline attribute specifies a
+ non-zero command duration guideline that the device is
+ unable to achieve for a command.
+
+ Possible values are:
+
+ - 0x0: The device will complete the command at the
+ earliest possible time consistent with the
+ specified command duration guideline.
+ - 0x1: If the specified command duration guideline has
+ not been achieved and the command duration
+ guideline policy field is not the seventh command
+ duration limits descriptor, then the device
+ continues processing that command using the
+ command duration limits descriptor that has
+ the next higher number.
+ - 0x2: The device will continue processing the command
+ as with no command duration limits descriptor
+ being used.
+ - 0xD: The device will complete the command and an IO
+ failure will be reported to the user with the ETIME
+ error code.
+ - 0xF: Same as 0xD.
+
+ - max_active_time: specifies an upper limit in microseconds
+ on the time that elapses from the time at which the device
+ initiates actions to access, transfer, or act upon the
+ specified data until the time the device returns status for
+ the command.
+
+ - max_active_time_policy: specifies the policy action taken
+ if the time used to process a command exceeds a non-zero
+ time specified by the max_active_time attribute.
+
+ Possible values are:
+
+ - 0x0: The device will complete the command at the
+ earliest possible time (i.e, do nothing based on
+ the max limit not being met).
+ - 0xD: The device will complete the command and an IO
+ failure will be reported to the user with the ETIME
+ error code.
+ - 0xE: Same as 0xD.
+ - 0xF: Same as 0xD.
+
+ - max_inactive_time: specifies an upper limit in microseconds
+ on the time that elapses from the time at which the device
+ receives the command until the time at which the device
+ initiates actions to access, transfer, or act upon the
+ specified data.
+
+ - max_inactive_time_policy: specifies the policy action taken
+ if a non-zero max_inactive_time limit is not met.
+
+ Possible values are:
+
+ - 0x0: The device will complete the command at the
+ earliest possible time (i.e, do nothing based on
+ the time limit not being met).
+ - 0xD: The device will complete the command and an IO
+ failure will be reported to the user with the ETIME
+ error code.
