Determining how long device has been in defined state
All,
Hoping you can help. I'm wondering how I can determine how long a device (network interface) has been in a defined state. Know there's a way, just can't figure it out.

Hi,
I would like to know wheather it is possible to make device in availabe state?
if for same reason os is not able to make it in available state. and it is in define state. (2 Replies)
Hi,
Occasionally I am getting the port state in CLOSE_WAIT for long time in the solaris server. I am not sure is it application problem or not. Because we are using port 9009 for Tomcat process in our web application, some time when I start the application, the port 9009 is in CLOSE_WAIT... (0 Replies)
ENUM WIMAX_ST(9) Linux Networking ENUM WIMAX_ST(9)NAME
enum_wimax_st - The different states of a WiMAX device
SYNOPSIS
enum wimax_st {
__WIMAX_ST_NULL,
WIMAX_ST_DOWN,
__WIMAX_ST_QUIESCING,
WIMAX_ST_UNINITIALIZED,
WIMAX_ST_RADIO_OFF,
WIMAX_ST_READY,
WIMAX_ST_SCANNING,
WIMAX_ST_CONNECTING,
WIMAX_ST_CONNECTED,
__WIMAX_ST_INVALID
};
CONSTANTS
__WIMAX_ST_NULL
The device structure has been allocated and zeroed, but still wimax_dev_add hasn't been called. There is no state.
WIMAX_ST_DOWN
The device has been registered with the WiMAX and networking stacks, but it is not initialized (normally that is done with 'ifconfig
DEV up' [or equivalent], which can upload firmware and enable communications with the device). In this state, the device is powered
down and using as less power as possible. This state is the default after a call to wimax_dev_add. It is ok to have drivers move
directly to WIMAX_ST_UNINITIALIZED or WIMAX_ST_RADIO_OFF in _probe after the call to wimax_dev_add. It is recommended that the driver
leaves this state when calling 'ifconfig DEV up' and enters it back on 'ifconfig DEV down'.
__WIMAX_ST_QUIESCING
The device is being torn down, so no API operations are allowed to proceed except the ones needed to complete the device clean up
process.
WIMAX_ST_UNINITIALIZED
[optional] Communication with the device is setup, but the device still requires some configuration before being operational. Some
WiMAX API calls might work.
WIMAX_ST_RADIO_OFF
The device is fully up; radio is off (wether by hardware or software switches). It is recommended to always leave the device in this
state after initialization.
WIMAX_ST_READY
The device is fully up and radio is on.
WIMAX_ST_SCANNING
[optional] The device has been instructed to scan. In this state, the device cannot be actively connected to a network.
WIMAX_ST_CONNECTING
The device is connecting to a network. This state exists because in some devices, the connect process can include a number of
negotiations between user space, kernel space and the device. User space needs to know what the device is doing. If the connect
sequence in a device is atomic and fast, the device can transition directly to CONNECTED
WIMAX_ST_CONNECTED
The device is connected to a network.
__WIMAX_ST_INVALID
This is an invalid state used to mark the maximum numeric value of states.
DESCRIPTION
Transitions from one state to another one are atomic and can only be caused in kernel space with wimax_state_change. To read the state, use
wimax_state_get.
States starting with __ are internal and shall not be used or referred to by drivers or userspace. They look ugly, but that's the point --
if any use is made non-internal to the stack, it is easier to catch on review.
All API operations [with well defined exceptions] will take the device mutex before starting and then check the state. If the state is
__WIMAX_ST_NULL, WIMAX_ST_DOWN, WIMAX_ST_UNINITIALIZED or __WIMAX_ST_QUIESCING, it will drop the lock and quit with -EINVAL, -ENOMEDIUM,
-ENOTCONN or -ESHUTDOWN.
The order of the definitions is important, so we can do numerical comparisons (eg: < WIMAX_ST_RADIO_OFF means the device is not ready to
operate).
