WARNING: drivers/staging/built-in.o(.init.text+0xdc): Section mismatch in reference from the function fsl_mc_bus_driver_init() to the function .exit.text:dprc_driver_exit() The function __init fsl_mc_bus_driver_init() references a function __exit dprc_driver_exit(). This is often seen when error handling in the init function uses functionality in the exit path. The fix is often to remove the __exit annotation of dprc_driver_exit() so it may be used outside an exit section.

DPAA2 consists of sophisticated mechanisms for processing Ethernet packets, queue management, buffer management, autonomous L2 switching, virtual Ethernet bridging, and accelerator (e.g. crypto) sharing. A DPAA2 hardware component called the Management Complex (or MC) manages the DPAA2 hardware resources. The MC provides an object-based abstraction for software drivers to use the DPAA2 hardware. The MC uses DPAA2 hardware resources such as queues, buffer pools, and network ports to create functional objects/devices such as network interfaces, an L2 switch, or accelerator instances. The MC provides memory-mapped I/O command interfaces (MC portals) which DPAA2 software drivers use to operate on DPAA2 objects: +--------------------------------------+ | OS | | DPAA2 drivers | | | | +-----------------------------|--------+ | | (create,discover,connect | config,use,destroy) | DPAA2 | +------------------------| mc portal |-+ | | | | +- - - - - - - - - - - - -V- - -+ | | | | | | | Management Complex (MC) | | | | | | | +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -+ | | | | Hardware Hardware | | Resources Objects | | --------- ------- | | -queues -DPRC | | -buffer pools -DPMCP | | -Eth MACs/ports -DPIO | | -network interface -DPNI | | profiles -DPMAC | | -queue portals -DPBP | | -MC portals ... | | ... | | | +--------------------------------------+ The MC mediates operations such as create, discover, connect, configuration, and destroy. Fast-path operations on data, such as packet transmit/receive, are not mediated by the MC and are done directly using memory mapped regions in DPIO objects. Overview of DPAA2 Objects ------------------------- The section provides a brief overview of some key objects in the DPAA2 hardware. A simple scenario is described illustrating the objects involved in creating a network interfaces. -DPRC (Datapath Resource Container) A DPRC is an container object that holds all the other types of DPAA2 objects. In the example diagram below there are 8 objects of 5 types (DPMCP, DPIO, DPBP, DPNI, and DPMAC) in the container. +---------------------------------------------------------+ | DPRC | | | | +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ | | | DPMCP | | DPIO | | DPBP | | DPNI | | DPMAC | | | +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +---+---+ +---+---+ | | | DPMCP | | DPIO | | | +-------+ +-------+ | | | DPMCP | | | +-------+ | | | +---------------------------------------------------------+ From the point of view of an OS, a DPRC is bus-like. Like a plug-and-play bus, such as PCI, DPRC commands can be used to enumerate the contents of the DPRC, discover the hardware objects present (including mappable regions and interrupts). dprc.1 (bus) | +--+--------+-------+-------+-------+ | | | | | dpmcp.1 dpio.1 dpbp.1 dpni.1 dpmac.1 dpmcp.2 dpio.2 dpmcp.3 Hardware objects can be created and destroyed dynamically, providing the ability to hot plug/unplug objects in and out of the DPRC. A DPRC has a mappable mmio region (an MC portal) that can be used to send MC commands. It has an interrupt for status events (like hotplug). All objects in a container share the same hardware "isolation context". This means that with respect to an IOMMU the isolation granularity is at the DPRC (container) level, not at the individual object level. DPRCs can be defined statically and populated with objects via a config file passed to the MC when firmware starts it. There is also a Linux user space tool called "restool" that can be used to create/destroy containers and objects dynamically. -DPAA2 Objects for an Ethernet Network Interface A typical Ethernet NIC is monolithic-- the NIC device contains TX/RX queuing mechanisms, configuration mechanisms, buffer management, physical ports, and interrupts. DPAA2 uses a more granular approach utilizing multiple hardware objects. Each object has specialized functions, and are used together by software to provide Ethernet network interface functionality. This approach provides efficient use of finite hardware resources, flexibility, and performance advantages. The diagram below shows the objects needed for a simple network interface configuration on a system with 2 CPUs. +---+---+ +---+---+ CPU0 CPU1 +---+---+ +---+---+ | | +---+---+ +---+---+ DPIO DPIO +---+---+ +---+---+ \ / \ / \ / +---+---+ DPNI --- DPBP,DPMCP +---+---+ | | +---+---+ DPMAC +---+---+ | port/PHY Below the objects are described. For each object a brief description is provided along with a summary of the kinds of operations the object supports and a summary of key resources of the object (mmio regions and irqs). -DPMAC (Datapath Ethernet MAC): represents an Ethernet MAC, a hardware device that connects to an Ethernet PHY and allows physical transmission and reception of Ethernet frames. -mmio regions: none -irqs: dpni link change -commands: set link up/down, link config, get stats, irq config, enable, reset -DPNI (Datapath Network Interface): contains TX/RX queues, network interface configuration, and rx buffer pool configuration mechanisms. -mmio regions: none -irqs: link state -commands: port config, offload config, queue config, parse/classify config, irq config, enable, reset -DPIO (Datapath I/O): provides interfaces to enqueue and dequeue packets and do hardware buffer pool management operations. For optimum performance there is typically DPIO per CPU. This allows each CPU to perform simultaneous enqueue/dequeue operations. -mmio regions: queue operations, buffer mgmt -irqs: data availability, congestion notification, buffer pool depletion -commands: irq config, enable, reset -DPBP (Datapath Buffer Pool): represents a hardware buffer pool. -mmio regions: none -irqs: none -commands: enable, reset -DPMCP (Datapath MC Portal): provides an MC command portal. Used by drivers to send commands to the MC to manage objects. -mmio regions: MC command portal -irqs: command completion -commands: irq config, enable, reset Object Connections ------------------ Some objects have explicit relationships that must be configured: -DPNI <--> DPMAC -DPNI <--> DPNI -DPNI <--> L2-switch-port A DPNI must be connected to something such as a DPMAC, another DPNI, or L2 switch port. The DPNI connection is made via a DPRC command. +-------+ +-------+ | DPNI | | DPMAC | +---+---+ +---+---+ | | +==========+ -DPNI <--> DPBP A network interface requires a 'buffer pool' (DPBP object) which provides a list of pointers to memory where received Ethernet data is to be copied. The Ethernet driver configures the DPBPs associated with the network interface. Interrupts ---------- All interrupts generated by DPAA2 objects are message interrupts. At the hardware level message interrupts generated by devices will normally have 3 components-- 1) a non-spoofable 'device-id' expressed on the hardware bus, 2) an address, 3) a data value. In the case of DPAA2 devices/objects, all objects in the same container/DPRC share the same 'device-id'. For ARM-based SoC this is the same as the stream ID. DPAA2 Linux Driver Overview --------------------------- This section provides an overview of the Linux kernel drivers for DPAA2-- 1) the bus driver and associated "DPAA2 infrastructure" drivers and 2) functional object drivers (such as Ethernet). As described previously, a DPRC is a container that holds the other types of DPAA2 objects. It is functionally similar to a plug-and-play bus controller. Each object in the DPRC is a Linux "device" and is bound to a driver. The diagram below shows the Linux drivers involved in a networking scenario and the objects bound to each driver. A brief description of each driver follows. +------------+ | OS Network | | Stack | +------------+ +------------+ | Allocator |. . . . . . . | Ethernet | |(dpmcp,dpbp)| | (dpni) | +-.----------+ +---+---+----+ . . ^ | . . <data avail, | |<enqueue, . . tx confirm> | | dequeue> +-------------+ . | | | DPRC driver | . +---+---V----+ +---------+ | (dprc) | . . . . . .| DPIO driver| | MAC | +----------+--+ | (dpio) | | (dpmac) | | +------+-----+ +-----+---+ |<dev add/remove> | | | | | +----+--------------+ | +--+---+ | mc-bus driver | | | PHY | | | | |driver| | /fsl-mc@80c000000 | | +--+---+ +-------------------+ | | | | ================================ HARDWARE =========|=================|====== DPIO | | | DPNI---DPBP | | | DPMAC | | | PHY ---------------+ ===================================================|======================== A brief description of each driver is provided below. mc-bus driver ------------- The mc-bus driver is a platform driver and is probed from an "/fsl-mc@xxxx" node in the device tree passed in by boot firmware. It is responsible for bootstrapping the DPAA2 kernel infrastructure. Key functions include: -registering a new bus type named "fsl-mc" with the kernel, and implementing bus call-backs (e.g. match/uevent/dev_groups) -implemeting APIs for DPAA2 driver registration and for device add/remove -creates an MSI irq domain -do a device add of the 'root' DPRC device, which is needed to bootstrap things DPRC driver ----------- The dprc-driver is bound DPRC objects and does runtime management of a bus instance. It performs the initial bus scan of the DPRC and handles interrupts for container events such as hot plug. Allocator ---------- Certain objects such as DPMCP and DPBP are generic and fungible, and are intended to be used by other drivers. For example, the DPAA2 Ethernet driver needs: -DPMCPs to send MC commands, to configure network interfaces -DPBPs for network buffer pools The allocator driver registers for these allocatable object types and those objects are bound to the allocator when the bus is probed. The allocator maintains a pool of objects that are available for allocation by other DPAA2 drivers. DPIO driver ----------- The DPIO driver is bound to DPIO objects and provides services that allow other drivers such as the Ethernet driver to receive and transmit data. Key services include: -data availability notifications -hardware queuing operations (enqueue and dequeue of data) -hardware buffer pool management There is typically one DPIO object per physical CPU for optimum performance, allowing each CPU to simultaneously enqueue and dequeue data. The DPIO driver operates on behalf of all DPAA2 drivers active in the kernel-- Ethernet, crypto, compression, etc. Ethernet -------- The Ethernet driver is bound to a DPNI and implements the kernel interfaces needed to connect the DPAA2 network interface to the network stack. Each DPNI corresponds to a Linux network interface. MAC driver ---------- An Ethernet PHY is an off-chip, board specific component and is managed by the appropriate PHY driver via an mdio bus. The MAC driver plays a role of being a proxy between the PHY driver and the MC. It does this proxy via the MC commands to a DPMAC object.
