RapidIO subsystem mport driver for IDT Tsi721 PCI Express-to-SRIO bridge.
|
|
=========================================================================
|
|
|
|
I. Overview
|
|
|
|
This driver implements all currently defined RapidIO mport callback functions.
|
|
It supports maintenance read and write operations, inbound and outbound RapidIO
|
|
doorbells, inbound maintenance port-writes and RapidIO messaging.
|
|
|
|
To generate SRIO maintenance transactions this driver uses one of Tsi721 DMA
|
|
channels. This mechanism provides access to larger range of hop counts and
|
|
destination IDs without need for changes in outbound window translation.
|
|
|
|
RapidIO messaging support uses dedicated messaging channels for each mailbox.
|
|
For inbound messages this driver uses destination ID matching to forward messages
|
|
into the corresponding message queue. Messaging callbacks are implemented to be
|
|
fully compatible with RIONET driver (Ethernet over RapidIO messaging services).
|
|
|
|
1. Module parameters:
|
|
- 'dbg_level' - This parameter allows to control amount of debug information
|
|
generated by this device driver. This parameter is formed by set of
|
|
This parameter can be changed bit masks that correspond to the specific
|
|
functional block.
|
|
For mask definitions see 'drivers/rapidio/devices/tsi721.h'
|
|
This parameter can be changed dynamically.
|
|
Use CONFIG_RAPIDIO_DEBUG=y to enable debug output at the top level.
|
|
|
|
II. Known problems
|
|
|
|
None.
|
|
|
|
III. DMA Engine Support
|
|
|
|
Tsi721 mport driver supports DMA data transfers between local system memory and
|
|
remote RapidIO devices. This functionality is implemented according to SLAVE
|
|
mode API defined by common Linux kernel DMA Engine framework.
|
|
|
|
Depending on system requirements RapidIO DMA operations can be included/excluded
|
|
by setting CONFIG_RAPIDIO_DMA_ENGINE option. Tsi721 miniport driver uses seven
|
|
out of eight available BDMA channels to support DMA data transfers.
|
|
One BDMA channel is reserved for generation of maintenance read/write requests.
|
|
|
|
If Tsi721 mport driver have been built with RAPIDIO_DMA_ENGINE support included,
|
|
this driver will accept DMA-specific module parameter:
|
|
"dma_desc_per_channel" - defines number of hardware buffer descriptors used by
|
|
each BDMA channel of Tsi721 (by default - 128).
|
|
|
|
IV. Version History
|
|
|
|
1.1.0 - DMA operations re-worked to support data scatter/gather lists larger
|
|
than hardware buffer descriptors ring.
|
|
1.0.0 - Initial driver release.
