DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     Provide a bus- and machine-independent "DMA mapping interface."

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

     All data structures, function prototypes, and macros will be defined by
     the port-specific header ~ <machine/bus.h>.  Note that this document
     assumes the existence of types already defined by the current "bus.h"
     interface.

     Unless otherwise noted, all function calls in this interface may be
     defined as cpp(1) macros.

DATA TYPES    [Toc]    [Back]

     Individual implementations may name these structures whatever they wish,
     providing that the external representations are:

     bus_dma_tag_t
              A machine-dependent opaque type describing the implementation of
              DMA for a given bus.

     bus_dma_segment_t
              A structure with at least the following members:

                      bus_addr_t      ds_addr;
                      bus_size_t      ds_len;

              The structure may have machine-dependent members and arbitrary
              layout.  The values in ds_addr and ds_len are suitable for programming
 into DMA controller address and length registers.

     bus_dmamap_t
              A pointer to a structure with at least the following members:

                      bus_size_t      dm_mapsize;
                      int             dm_nsegs;
                      bus_dma_segment_t *dm_segs;

              The structure may have machine-dependent members and arbitrary
              layout.  The dm_mapsize member indicates the size of the mapping.
  A value of 0 indicates the mapping is invalid.  The
              dm_segs member may be an array of segments or a pointer to an
              array of segments.  The dm_nsegs member indicates the number of
              segments in dm_segs.

FUNCTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

     bus_dmamap_create(tag, size, nsegments, maxsegsz, boundary, flags, dmamp)
              Allocates a DMA handle and initializes it according to the
              parameters provided.  Arguments are as follows:
              tag        This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the parent
                         driver via <bus>_attach_args.
              size       This is the maximum DMA transfer that can be mapped
                         by the handle.
              nsegments  Number of segments the device can support in a single
                         DMA transaction.  This may be the number of scattergather
 descriptors supported by the device.
              maxsegsz   The maximum number of bytes that may be transferred
                         by any given DMA segment.
              boundary   Some DMA controllers are not able to transfer data
                         that crosses a particular boundary.  This argument
                         allows this boundary to be specified.  The boundary
                         lines begin at 0, and occur every boundary bytes.
                         Mappings may begin on a boundary line but may not end
                         on or cross a boundary line.  If no boundary condition
 needs to be observed, a boundary argument of 0
                         should be used.
              flags      Flags are defined as follows:
                         BUS_DMA_WAITOK    It is safe to wait (sleep) for
                                           resources during this call.
                         BUS_DMA_NOWAIT    It is not safe to wait (sleep) for
                                           resources during this call.
                         BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW  Perform any resource allocation
                                           this handle may need now.  If this
                                           is not specified, the allocation
                                           may be deferred to
                                           bus_dmamap_load().  If this flag is
                                           specified, bus_dmamap_load() will
                                           not block on resource allocation.
                         BUS_DMA_BUS[1-4]  These flags are placeholders, and
                                           may be used by busses to provide
                                           bus-dependent functionality.
              dmamp      This is a pointer to a bus_dmamap_t.  A DMA map will
                         be allocated and pointed to by dmamp upon successful
                         completion of this routine.

              Behavior is not defined if invalid arguments are passed to
              bus_dmamap_create().

              Returns 0 on success, or an error code to indicate mode of failure.


     bus_dmamap_destroy(tag, dmam)
              Frees all resources associated with a given DMA handle.  Arguments
 are as follows:
              tag   This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the parent
                    driver via <bus>_attach_args.
              dmam  The DMA handle to destroy.

              In the event that the DMA handle contains a valid mapping, the
              mapping will be unloaded via the same mechanism used by
              bus_dmamap_unload().

              Behavior is not defined if invalid arguments are passed to
              bus_dmamap_destroy().

              If given valid arguments, bus_dmamap_destroy() always succeeds.

     bus_dmamap_load(tag, dmam, buf, buflen, p, flags)
              Loads a DMA handle with mappings for a DMA transfer.  It assumes
              that all pages involved in a DMA transfer are wired.  Arguments
              are as follows:
              tag     This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the parent
                      driver via <bus>_attach_args.
              dmam    The DMA handle with which to map the transfer.
              buf     The buffer to be used for the DMA transfer.
              buflen  The size of the buffer.
              p       Used to indicate the address space in which the buffer
                      is located.  If NULL, the buffer is assumed to be in
                      kernel space.  Otherwise, the buffer is assumed to be in
                      process p's address space.
              flags   are defined as follows:
                      BUS_DMA_WAITOK     It is safe to wait (sleep) for
                                         resources during this call.
                      BUS_DMA_NOWAIT     It is not safe to wait (sleep) for
                                         resources during this call.
                      BUS_DMA_STREAMING  By default, the bus_dma API assumes
                                         that there is coherency between memory
 and the device performing the DMA
                                         transaction.  Some platforms, however,
 have special hardware, such as
                                         an ``I/O cache'', which may improve
                                         performance of some types of DMA
                                         transactions, but which break the
                                         assumption that there is coherency
                                         between memory and the device performing
 the DMA transaction.  This
                                         flag allows the use of this special
                                         hardware, provided that the device is
                                         doing sequential, unidirectional
                                         transfers which conform to certain
                                         alignment and size constraints
                                         defined by the platform.  If the
                                         platform does not support the feature,
 or if the buffer being loaded
                                         into the DMA map does not conform to
                                         the constraints required for use of
                                         the feature, then this flag will be
                                         silently ignored.  Also refer to the
                                         use of this flag with the
                                         bus_dmamem_alloc() function.
                      BUS_DMA_READ       This is a hint to the machine-dependent
 back-end that indicates the mapping
 will be used only for a device
                                         -> memory transaction.  The back-end
                                         may perform optimizations based on
                                         this information.
                      BUS_DMA_WRITE      This is a hint to the machine-dependent
 back-end that indicates the mapping
 will be used only for a memory
                                         -> device transaction.  The back-end
                                         may perform optimizations based on
                                         this information.
                      BUS_DMA_BUS[1-4]   These flags are placeholders, and may
                                         be used by busses to provide busdependent
 functionality.

              As noted above, if a DMA handle is created with
              BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW, bus_dmamap_load() will never block.

              If a call to bus_dmamap_load() fails, the mapping in the DMA
              handle will be invalid.  It is the responsibility of the caller
              to clean up any inconsistent device state resulting from incomplete
 iteration through the uio.

              Behavior is not defined if invalid arguments are passed to
              bus_dmamap_load().

              Returns 0 on success, or an error code to indicate mode of failure.


     bus_dmamap_load_mbuf(tag, dmam, chain, flags)
              This is a variation of bus_dmamap_load() which maps mbuf chains
              for DMA transfers.  Mbuf chains are assumed to be in kernel virtual
 address space.

     bus_dmamap_load_uio(tag, dmam, uio, flags)
              This is a variation of bus_dmamap_load() which maps buffers
              pointed to by uio for DMA transfers.  The value of
              uio->uio_segflg will determine if the buffers are in user or
              kernel virtual address space.  If the buffers are in user
              address space, the buffers are assumed to be in uio->uio_procp's
              address space.

     bus_dmamap_load_raw(tag, dmam, segs, nsegs, size, flags)
              This is a variation of bus_dmamap_load() which maps buffers
              allocated by bus_dmamem_alloc() (see below).  The segs argument
              is an array of bus_dma_segment_t's filled in by
              bus_dmamem_alloc().  The nsegs argument is the number of segments
 in the array.  The size argument is the size of the DMA
              transfer.

     bus_dmamap_unload(tag, dmam)
              Deletes the mappings for a given DMA handle.  Arguments are as
              follows:
              tag   This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the parent
                    driver via <bus>_attach_args.
              dmam  The DMA handle containing the mappings which are to be
                    deleted.

              If the DMA handle was created with BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW,
              bus_dmamap_unload() will not free the corresponding resources
              which were allocated by bus_dmamap_create().  This is to ensure
              that bus_dmamap_load() will never block on resources if the handle
 was created with BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW.

              Behavior is not defined if invalid arguments are passed to
              bus_dmamap_unload().

              If given valid arguments, bus_dmamap_unload() always succeeds.

     bus_dmamap_sync(tag, dmam, offset, len, ops)
              Performs pre- and post-DMA operation cache and/or buffer synchronization.
  Arguments are as follows:
              tag     This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the parent
                      driver via <bus>_attach_args.
              dmam    The DMA mapping to be synchronized.
              offset  The offset into the DMA mapping to synchronize.
              len     The length of the mapping from offset to synchronize.
              ops     One or more synchronization operation to perform.  The
                      following DMA synchronization operations are defined:
                      BUS_DMASYNC_PREREAD    Perform any pre-read DMA cache
                                             and/or bounce operations.
                      BUS_DMASYNC_POSTREAD   Perform any post-read DMA cache
                                             and/or bounce operations.
                      BUS_DMASYNC_PREWRITE   Perform any pre-write DMA cache
                                             and/or bounce operations.
                      BUS_DMASYNC_POSTWRITE  Perform any post-write DMA cache
                                             and/or bounce operations.

                      More than one operation may performed in a given synchronization
 call.  Mixing of PRE and POST operations is
                      not allowed, and behavior is undefined if this is
                      attempted.

              Synchronization operations are expressed from the perspective of
              the host RAM, e.g. a device -> memory operation is a READ and a
              memory -> device operation is a WRITE.

              bus_dmamap_sync() may consult state kept within the DMA map to
              determine if the memory is mapped in a DMA coherent fashion.  If
              so, bus_dmamap_sync() may elect to skip certain expensive operations,
 such as flushing of the data cache.  See bus_dmamem_map()
              for more information on this subject.

              On platforms which implement reordered stores, bus_dmamap_sync()
              will always cause the store buffer to be flushed.

              This function exists so that multiple read and write transfers
              can be performed with the same buffer, and so that drivers can
              explicitly inform the bus_dma code when their data is 'ready' in
              its DMA buffer.

              An example of multiple read-write use of a single mapping might
              look like:

              bus_dmamap_load(...);

              while (not done) {
                      /* invalidate soon-to-be-stale cache blocks */

              If DMA read and write operations are not preceded and followed
              by the appropriate synchronization operations, behavior is undefined.


              Behavior is not defined if invalid arguments are passed to
              bus_dmamap_sync().

              If given valid arguments, bus_dmamap_sync() always succeeds.

     bus_dmamem_alloc(tag, size, alignment, boundary, segs, ...)
              Allocates memory that is "DMA safe" for the bus corresponding to
              the given tag.

              The mapping of this memory is machine-dependent (or "opaque");
              machine-independent code is not to assume that the addresses
              returned are valid in kernel virtual address space, or that the
              addresses returned are system physical addresses. The address
              value returned as part of segs can thus not be used to program
              DMA controller address registers. Only the values in the dm_segs
              array of a successfully loaded DMA map (using bus_dmamap_load()
              ) can be used for this purpose.

              Allocations will always be rounded to the hardware page size.
              Callers may wish to take advantage of this, and cluster allocation
 of small data structures.  Arguments are as follows:
              tag        The is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the parent
                         driver via <bus>_attach_args.
              size       The amount of memory to allocate.
              alignment  Each segment in the allocated memory will be aligned
                         to this value.  If the alignment is less than a hardware
 page size, it will be rounded up to the hardware
                         page size.  This value must be a power of two.
              boundary   Each segment in the allocated memory must not cross
                         this boundary (relative to zero).  This value must be
                         a power of two.  A boundary value less than the size
                         of the allocation is invalid.
              segs       An array of bus_dma_segment_t's, filled in as memory
                         is allocated, representing the opaque addresses of
                         the memory chunks.
              nsegs      Specifies the number of segments in segs, and this is
                         the maximum number of segments that the allocated
                         memory may contain.
              rsegs      Used to return the actual number of segments the memory
 contains.
              flags      Flags are defined as follows:
                         BUS_DMA_WAITOK     It is safe to wait (sleep) for
                                            resources during this call.
                         BUS_DMA_NOWAIT     It is not safe to wait (sleep) for
                                            resources during this call.
                         BUS_DMA_STREAMING  Adjusts, if necessary, the size,
                                            alignment, and boundary constrains
                                            to conform to the platform-dependent
 requirements for the use of
                                            the BUS_DMA_STREAMING flag with
                                            the bus_dmamap_load() function.
                                            If the platform does not support
                                            the BUS_DMA_STREAMING feature, or
                                            if the size, alignment, and boundary
 constraints would already satisfy
 the platform's requirements,
                                            this flag is silently ignored.
                                            The BUS_DMA_STREAMING flag will
                                            never relax the constraints specified
 in the call.
                         BUS_DMA_BUS[1-4]   These flags are placeholders, and
                                            may be used by busses to provide
                                            bus-dependent functionality.

              All pages allocated by bus_dmamem_alloc() will be wired down
              until they are freed by bus_dmamem_free().

              Behavior is undefined if invalid arguments are passed to
              bus_dmamem_alloc().

              Returns 0 on success, or an error code indicating mode of failure.


     bus_dmamem_free(tag, segs, nsegs)
              Frees memory previously allocated by bus_dmamem_alloc().  Any
              mappings will be invalidated.  Arguments are as follows:
              tag    This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the parent
                     driver via <bus>_attach_args.
              segs   The array of bus_dma_segment_t's filled in by
                     bus_dmamem_alloc().
              nsegs  The number of segments in segs.

              Behavior is undefined if invalid arguments are passed to
              bus_dmamem_free().

              If given valid arguments, bus_dmamem_free() always succeeds.

     bus_dmamem_map(tag, segs, nsegs, size, kvap, flags)
              Maps memory allocated with bus_dmamem_alloc() into kernel virtual
 address space.  Arguments are as follows:
              tag    This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the parent
                     driver via <bus>_attach_args.
              segs   The array of bus_dma_segment_t's filled in by
                     bus_dmamem_alloc(), representing the memory regions to
                     map.
              nsegs  The number of segments in segs.
              size   The size of the mapping.
              kvap   Filled in to specify the kernel virtual address where the
                     memory is mapped.
              flags  Flags are defined as follows:
                     BUS_DMA_WAITOK    It is safe to wait (sleep) for
                                       resources during this call.
                     BUS_DMA_NOWAIT    It is not safe to wait (sleep) for
                                       resources during this call.
                     BUS_DMA_BUS[1-4]  These flags are placeholders, and may
                                       be used by busses to provide bus-dependent
 functionality.
                     BUS_DMA_COHERENT  This flag is a hint to machine-dependent
 code.  If possible, map the memory
                                       in such a way as it will be DMA coherent.
  This may include mapping the
                                       pages into uncached address space or
                                       setting the cache-inhibit bits in page
                                       table entries.  If DMA coherent mappings
 are impossible, this flag is
                                       silently ignored.

                                       Later, when this memory is loaded into
                                       a DMA map, machine-dependent code will
                                       take whatever steps are necessary to
                                       determine if the memory was mapped in a
                                       DMA coherent fashion.  This may include
                                       checking if the kernel virtual address
                                       lies within uncached address space or
                                       if the cache-inhibit bits are set in
                                       page table entries.  If it is determined
 that the mapping is DMA coherent,
                                       state may be placed into the DMA map
                                       for use by later calls to
                                       bus_dmamap_sync().

                                       Note that a device driver must not rely
                                       on BUS_DMA_COHERENT for correct operation.
  All calls to bus_dmamap_sync()
                                       must still be made.  This flag is provided
 only as an optimization hint to
                                       machine-dependent code.

                                       Also note that this flag only applies
                                       to coherency between the CPU and memory.
  Coherency between memory and the
                                       device is controlled with a different
                                       flag.  See the description of the
                                       bus_dmamap_load() function.

              Behavior is undefined if invalid arguments are passed to
              bus_dmamem_map().

              Returns 0 on success, or an error code indicating mode of failure.


     bus_dmamem_unmap(tag, kva, size)
              Unmaps memory previously mapped with bus_dmamem_map(), freeing
              the kernel virtual address space used by the mapping.  The arguments
 are as follows:
              tag   This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the parent
                    driver via <bus>_attach_args.
              kva   The kernel virtual address of the mapped memory.
              size  The size of the mapping.

              Behavior is undefined if invalid arguments are passed to
              bus_dmamem_unmap().

              If given valid arguments, bus_dmamem_unmap() always succeeds.

     bus_dmamem_mmap(tag, segs, nsegs, off, prot, flags)
              Provides support for user mmap(2)'ing of DMA-safe memory.  This
              function is to be called by a device driver's (*d_mmap)() entry
              point, which is called by the device pager for each page to be
              mapped.  The arguments are as follows:
              tag    This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the parent
                     driver via <bus>_attach_args.
              segs   The array of bus_dma_segment_t's filled in by
                     bus_dmamem_alloc(), representing the memory to be
                     mmap(2)'ed.
              nsegs  The number of elements in the segs array.
              off    The offset of the page in DMA memory which is to be
                     mapped.
              prot   The protection codes for the mapping.
              flags  Flags are defined as follows:
                     BUS_DMA_WAITOK    It is safe to wait (sleep) for
                                       resources during this call.
                     BUS_DMA_NOWAIT    It is not safe to wait (sleep) for
                                       resources during this call.
                     BUS_DMA_BUS[1-4]  These flags are placeholders, and may
                                       be used by busses to provide bus-dependent
 functionality.
                     BUS_DMA_COHERENT  See bus_dmamem_map() above for a
                                       description of this flag.

              Behavior is undefined if invalid arguments are passed to
              bus_dmamem_mmap().

              Returns -1 to indicate failure.  Otherwise, returns an opaque
              value to be interpreted by the device pager.
