DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The  bus_space  functions  exist to allow device drivers machine-independent
     access to bus memory and register areas.  All of  the  functions and types
     described  in  this  document  can  be used by including the
<machine/bus.h>
     header file.

     Many common devices are used on multiple architectures,  but
are accessed
     differently  on  each  because of architectural constraints.
For instance,
     a device which is mapped in one system's I/O  space  may  be
mapped in memory
  space  on a second system.  On a third system, architectural limitations
 might change the way registers  need  to  be  accessed
(e.g. creating a
     non-linear  register space).  In some cases, a single driver
may need to
     access the same type of device in multiple ways in a  single
system or architecture.
  The goal of the bus_space functions is to allow
a single
     driver source file to manipulate a set of devices on different system architectures,
 and to allow a single driver object file to manipulate a set
     of devices on multiple bus types on a single architecture.

     Not all busses have to implement all functions described  in
this document,
  though that is encouraged if the operations are logically supported
     by the bus.  Unimplemented functions should  cause  compiletime errors if
     possible.

     All  of the interface definitions described in this document
are shown as
     function prototypes and discussed as if they  were  required
to be functions.
   Implementations  are encouraged to implement prototyped (typechecked)
 versions of these  interfaces,  but  may  implement
them as macros
     if  appropriate.   Machine-dependent  types,  variables, and
functions should
     be marked clearly in <machine/bus.h> to avoid confusion with
the machineindependent
 types and functions, and, if possible, should be
given names
     which make the machine-dependence clear.

CONCEPTS AND GUIDELINES    [Toc]    [Back]

     Bus spaces are described by bus space  tags,  which  can  be
created only by
     machine-dependent  code.   A  given machine may have several
different types
     of bus space (e.g.  memory space and I/O  space),  and  thus
may provide
     multiple different bus space tags.  Individual busses or devices on a machine
 may use more than one bus space  tag.   For  instance,
ISA devices are
     given an ISA memory space tag and an ISA I/O space tag.  Architectures
     may have several different tags  which  represent  the  same
type of space,
     for  instance  because of multiple different host bus interface chipsets.

     A range in bus space is described by a bus address and a bus
size.  The
     bus  address  describes the start of the range in bus space.
The bus size
     describes the size of the range in bytes.  Busses which  are
not byte addressable
 may require use of bus space ranges with appropriately aligned
     addresses and properly rounded sizes.

     Access to regions of bus space is facilitated by use of  bus
space handles,
  which are usually created by mapping a specific range
of a bus
     space.  Handles may also be created by allocating  and  mapping a range of
     bus space, the actual location of which is picked by the implementation
     within bounds specified by  the  caller  of  the  allocation
function.

     All  of the bus space access functions require one bus space
tag argument,
     at least one handle argument, and at least one offset  argument (a bus
     size).   The  bus space tag specifies the space, each handle
specifies a
     region in the space, and each offset  specifies  the  offset
into the region
     of the actual location(s) to be accessed.  Offsets are given
in bytes,
     though busses may impose alignment constraints.  The  offset
used to access
  data  relative to a given handle must be such that all
of the data
     being accessed is in the mapped region that the  handle  describes.  Trying
     to access data outside that region is an error.

     Because  some architectures' memory systems use buffering to
improve memory
 and device access performance, there is a mechanism which
can be used
     to  create  ``barriers''  in  the  bus  space read and write
stream.  There are
     three types of barriers: read, write, and  read/write.   All
reads started
     to the region before a read barrier must complete before any
reads after
     the read barrier are started.  The analogous requirement  is
true for
     write  barriers.   Read/write  barriers  force all reads and
writes started
     before the barrier to complete before any  reads  or  writes
after the barrier
  are  started.   Correctly-written drivers will include
all appropriate
     barriers, and assume only the read/write ordering imposed by
the barrier
     operations.

     People  trying  to write portable drivers with the bus_space
functions
     should try to make minimal assumptions about what the system
allows.  In
     particular,  they should expect that the system requires bus
space addresses
 being accessed to be naturally  aligned  (i.e.  base
address of handle
  added  to offset is a multiple of the access size), and
that the system
 does alignment checking on pointers (i.e. pointer to objects being
     read and written must point to properly-aligned data).

     The  descriptions of the bus_space functions given below all
assume that
     they are called with proper arguments.  If called  with  invalid arguments
     or  arguments  that  are out of range (e.g. trying to access
data outside of
     the region mapped when a given handle  was  created),  undefined behaviour
     results.   In  that case, they may cause the system to halt,
either intentionally
 (via panic) or unintentionally (by causing a  fatal
trap of by
     some  other  means) or may cause improper operation which is
not immediately
 fatal.  Functions which return void or which return  data
read from bus
     space  (i.e. functions which don't obviously return an error
code) do not
     fail.  They could only fail if given invalid arguments,  and
in that case
     their  behaviour is undefined.  Functions which take a count
of bytes have
     undefined results if the specified count is zero.

TYPES    [Toc]    [Back]

     Several types are defined in <machine/bus.h>  to  facilitate
use of the
     bus_space functions by drivers.

     bus_addr_t

     The  bus_addr_t  type is used to describe bus addresses.  It
must be an unsigned
 integral type capable of holding the largest bus  address usable by
     the  architecture.  This type is primarily used when mapping
and unmapping
     bus space.

     bus_size_t

     The bus_size_t type is used to describe sizes of  ranges  in
bus space.  It
     must  be  an  unsigned  integral type capable of holding the
size of the
     largest bus address range usable on the architecture.   This
type is used
     by  virtually  all  of  the  bus_space functions, describing
sizes when mapping
 regions and offsets into regions when performing  space
access operations.


     bus_space_tag_t

     The  bus_space_tag_t  type  is used to describe a particular
bus space on a
     machine.  Its contents are machine-dependent and  should  be
considered
     opaque  by  machine-independent  code.  This type is used by
all bus_space
     functions to name the space on which they're operating.

     bus_space_handle_t

     The bus_space_handle_t type is used to describe a mapping of
a range of
     bus space.  Its contents are machine-dependent and should be
considered
     opaque by machine-independent code.  This type is used  when
performing
     bus space access operations.

MAPPING AND UNMAPPING BUS SPACE    [Toc]    [Back]

     Bus  space  must be mapped before it can be used, and should
be unmapped
     when it  is  no  longer  needed.   The  bus_space_map()  and
bus_space_unmap()
     functions provide these capabilities.

     Some drivers need to be able to pass a subregion of alreadymapped bus
     space to another driver or module within a driver.  The
     bus_space_subregion() function allows such subregions to  be
created.

     bus_space_map(space, address, size, cacheable, handlep)

     The  bus_space_map()  function  maps the region of bus space
named by the
     space, address, and size arguments.  If successful,  it  returns zero and
     fills in the bus space handle pointed to by handlep with the
handle that
     can be used to access the mapped region.   If  unsuccessful,
it will return
     non-zero  and  leave  the  bus  space  handle  pointed to by
handlep in an undefined
 state.

     The cacheable argument controls  how  the  space  is  to  be
mapped.  Supported
     flags include:

           BUS_SPACE_MAP_CACHEABLE   Try to map the space so that
access can be
                                    cached by the  system  cache.
If this flag
                                    is  not specified, the implementation
                                    should map the space so  that
it will not
                                    be   cached.    This  mapping
method will only
                                    be useful in very rare  occasions.

                                    This  flag  must have a value
of 1 on all
                                    implementations for  backward
compatibility.


           BUS_SPACE_MAP_PREFETCHABLE
                                    Try  to map the space so that
accesses can
                                    be prefetched by the  system,
and writes
                                    can be buffered.  This means,
accesses
                                    should be  side  effect  free
(idempotent).
                                    The bus_space_barrier() methods will flush
                                    the write buffer or force actual read accesses.
   If this flag is not
specified,
                                    the implementation should map
the space so
                                    that    it    will   not   be
prefetched or delayed.

           BUS_SPACE_MAP_LINEAR     Try to map the space so  that
its contents
                                    can  be accessed linearly via
normal memory
                                    access methods (e.g.  pointer
dereferencing
                                    and structure accesses).  The
                                    bus_space_vaddr() method  can
be used to
                                    obtain the kernel virtual address of the
                                    mapped range.  This is useful
when software
  wants  to do direct access to a memory
                                    device, e.g. a frame  buffer.
If this flag
                                    is  specified and linear mapping is not
                                    possible, the bus_space_map()
call should
                                    fail.   If  this  flag is not
specified, the
                                    system may map the  space  in
whatever way
                                    is  most  convenient.  Use of
this mapping
                                    method is not encouraged  for
normal device
                                    access;  where  linear access
is not essential,
     use     of      the
bus_space_read/write()
                                    methods  is  strongly  recommended.

     BUS_SPACE_MAP_CACHEABLE may be meaningless when used on many
systems' I/O
     port spaces.  and on some systems BUS_SPACE_MAP_LINEAR without
     BUS_SPACE_MAP_PREFETCHABLE may never work.  When the  system
hardware or
     firmware  provides  hints  as to how spaces should be mapped
(e.g. the PCI
     memory mapping registers' "prefetchable" bit),  those  hints
should be followed
  for maximum compatibility.  On some systems, requesting a mapping
     that cannot be satisfied (e.g. requesting a non-prefetchable
mapping when
     the  system  can only provide a prefetchable one) will cause
the request to
     fail.

     Some implementations may keep track of use of bus space  for
some or all
     bus  spaces and refuse to allow duplicate allocations.  This
is encouraged
     for bus spaces which have no notion of  slot-specific  space
addressing,
     such as ISA and VME, and for spaces which coexist with those
spaces (e.g.
     EISA and PCI memory and I/O spaces co-existing with ISA memory and I/O
     spaces).

     Mapped  regions  may  contain areas for which no there is no
device on the
     bus.  If space in those areas is accessed, the  results  are
bus-dependent.

     bus_space_unmap(space, handle, size)

     The  bus_space_unmap() function unmaps a region of bus space
mapped with
     bus_space_map().  When unmapping a region, the  size  specified should be
     the  same  as the size given to bus_space_map() when mapping
that region.

     After bus_space_unmap() is called on a handle,  that  handle
is no longer
     valid.  If copies were made of the handle they are no longer
valid, either.


     This function will never fail.  If it would fail  (e.g.  because of an argument
  error),  that  indicates a software bug which should
cause a panic.
     In that case, bus_space_unmap() will never return.

     bus_space_subregion(space, handle, offset, size, nhandlep)

     The bus_space_subregion() function is a convenience function
which makes
     a  new  handle to some subregion of an already-mapped region
of bus space.
     The subregion described by the new  handle  starts  at  byte
offset offset
     into  the  region described by handle, with the size give by
size, and must
     be wholly contained within the original region.

     If successful, bus_space_subregion() returns zero and  fills
in the bus
     space  handle  pointed  to by nhandlep.  If unsuccessful, it
returns non-zero
 and leaves the bus space handle pointed to by nhandlep in
an undefined
     state.   In  either case, the handle described by handle remains valid and
     is unmodified.

     When done with a handle  created  by  bus_space_subregion(),
the handle
     should  be  thrown  away.   Under  no  circumstances  should
bus_space_unmap()
     be used on the handle.  Doing so may  confuse  any  resource
management being
  done  on  the  space,  and will result in undefined behaviour.  When
     bus_space_unmap() or bus_space_free() is called on a handle,
all subregions
 of that handle become invalid.

     bus_space_vaddr(tag, handle)

     This  method  returns the kernel virtual address of a mapped
bus space if
     and only if it  was  mapped  with  the  BUS_SPACE_MAP_LINEAR
flag.  The range
     can  be  accessed by normal (volatile) pointer dereferences.
If mapped
     with    the     BUS_SPACE_MAP_PREFETCHABLE     flag,     the
bus_space_barrier() method
     must be used to force a particular access order.

ALLOCATING AND FREEING BUS SPACE    [Toc]    [Back]

     Some  devices  require or allow bus space to be allocated by
the operating
     system for device use.  When the devices no longer need  the
space, the
     operating  system  should  free it for use by other devices.
The
     bus_space_alloc()  and  bus_space_free()  functions  provide
these capabilities.


     bus_space_alloc(space,  reg_start, reg_end, size, alignment,
boundary,
     cacheable, addrp, handlep)

     The bus_space_alloc() function allocates and maps  a  region
of bus space
     with the size given by size, corresponding to the given constraints.  If
     successful, it returns zero, fills in the bus address pointed to by addrp
     with  the  bus  space  address  of the allocated region, and
fills in the bus
     space handle pointed to by handlep with the handle that  can
be used to
     access  that  region.   If unsuccessful, it returns non-zero
and leaves the
     bus address pointed to by addrp and  the  bus  space  handle
pointed to by
     handlep in an undefined state.

     Constraints  on  the  allocation are given by the reg_start,
reg_end,
     alignment, and boundary parameters.   The  allocated  region
will start at
     or  after  reg_start  and  end  before  or  at reg_end.  The
alignment constraint
 must be a power of two,  and  the  allocated  region
will start at an
     address  that is an even multiple of that power of two.  The
boundary constraint,
 if non-zero, ensures that the region  is  allocated
so that first
     address  in  region  /  boundary  has the same value as last
address in region
     /   boundary.    If   the   constraints   cannot   be   met,
bus_space_alloc() will
     fail.   It  is an error to specify a set of constraints that
can never be
     met (for example, size greater than boundary).

     The cacheable parameter is the same as the like-named parameter to
     bus_space_map, the same flag values should be used, and they
have the
     same meanings.

     Handles created by bus_space_alloc() should  only  be  freed
with
     bus_space_free().   Trying  to use bus_space_unmap() on them
causes undefined
 behaviour.  The bus_space_subregion() function can  be
used on handles
 created by bus_space_alloc().

     bus_space_free(space, handle, size)

     The  bus_space_free()  function unmaps and frees a region of
bus space
     mapped and allocated with bus_space_alloc().  When unmapping
a region,
     the size specified should be the same as the size given to
     bus_space_alloc() when allocating the region.

     After bus_space_free() is called on a handle, that handle is
no longer
     valid.  If copies were made  of  the  handle,  they  are  no
longer valid, either.


     This  function  will never fail.  If it would fail (e.g. because of an argument
 error), that indicates a software  bug  which  should
cause a panic.
     In that case, bus_space_free() will never return.

READING AND WRITING SINGLE DATA ITEMS    [Toc]    [Back]

     The  simplest  way to access bus space is to read or write a
single data
     item.  The bus_space_read_N() and bus_space_write_N()  families of functions
  provide  the ability to read and write 1, 2, 4, and 8
byte data
     items on busses which support those access sizes.

     bus_space_read_1(space, handle, offset)
     bus_space_read_2(space, handle, offset)
     bus_space_read_4(space, handle, offset)
     bus_space_read_8(space, handle, offset)

     The bus_space_read_N() family of functions reads a 1, 2,  4,
or 8 byte data
  item from the offset specified by offset into the region
specified by
     handle of the bus space specified by  space.   The  location
being read must
     lie within the bus space region specified by handle.

     For  portability,  the starting address of the region specified by handle
     plus the offset should be a multiple of  the  size  of  data
item being read.
     On  some systems, not obeying this requirement may cause incorrect data to
     be read, on others it may cause a system crash.

     Read operations done by the bus_space_read_N() functions may
be executed
     out  of  order  with respect to other pending read and write
operations unless
 order is enforced by  use  of  the  bus_space_barrier()
function.

     These  functions  will never fail.  If they would fail (e.g.
because of an
     argument error), that indicates a software bug which  should
cause a panic.
  In that case, they will never return.

     bus_space_write_1(space, handle, offset, value)
     bus_space_write_2(space, handle, offset, value)
     bus_space_write_4(space, handle, offset, value)
     bus_space_write_8(space, handle, offset, value)

     The  bus_space_write_N()  family of functions writes a 1, 2,
4, or 8 byte
     data item to the offset specified by offset into the  region
specified by
     handle  of  the  bus space specified by space.  The location
being written
     must lie within the bus space region specified by handle.

     For portability, the starting address of the  region  specified by handle
     plus  the  offset  should  be a multiple of the size of data
item being written.
  On some systems,  not  obeying  this  requirement  may
cause incorrect
     data to be written, on others it may cause a system crash.

     Write  operations  done by the bus_space_write_N() functions
may be executed
 out of order with respect to other pending read and write
operations
     unless  order  is enforced by use of the bus_space_barrier()
function.

     These functions will never fail.  If they would  fail  (e.g.
because of an
     argument  error), that indicates a software bug which should
cause a panic.
  In that case, they will never return.

BARRIERS    [Toc]    [Back]

     In order to allow high-performance buffering implementations
to avoid bus
     activity  on every operation, read and write ordering should
be specified
     explicitly    by    drivers     when     necessary.      The
bus_space_barrier() function
     provides that ability.

     bus_space_barrier(space, handle, offset, length, flags)

     The  bus_space_barrier()  function  enforces ordering of bus
space read and
     write operations for the specified subregion  (described  by
the offset and
     length  parameters)  of  the  region  named by handle in the
space named by
     space.

     The flags argument controls what types of operations are  to
be ordered.
     Supported flags are:

           BUS_SPACE_BARRIER_READ    Synchronize read operations.

           BUS_SPACE_BARRIER_WRITE  Synchronize write operations.

     Those  flags can be combined (or-ed together) to enforce ordering on both
     read and write operations.

     All of the specified type(s) of operation which are done  to
the region
     before  the barrier operation are guaranteed to complete before any of the
     specified type(s) of operation done after the barrier.

     Example: Consider a hypothetical device with two single-byte
ports, one
     write-only  input  port (at offset 0) and a read-only output
port (at offset
 1).  Operation of the device is as follows:  data  bytes
are written to
     the input port, and are placed by the device on a stack, the
top of which
     is read by reading from the output port.   The  sequence  to
correctly write
     two  data bytes to the device then read those two data bytes
back would
     be:

     /*
      * t and h are the tag and handle for the mapped device's
      * space.
      */
     bus_space_write_1(t, h, 0, data0);
     bus_space_barrier(t, h, 0, 1, BUS_SPACE_BARRIER_WRITE);   /*
1 */
     bus_space_write_1(t, h, 0, data1);
     bus_space_barrier(t, h, 0, 2,
         BUS_SPACE_BARRIER_READ|BUS_SPACE_BARRIER_WRITE);      /*
2 */
     ndata1 = bus_space_read_1(t, h, 1);
     bus_space_barrier(t, h, 1, 1, BUS_SPACE_BARRIER_READ);    /*
3 */
     ndata0 = bus_space_read_1(t, h, 1);
     /* data0 == ndata0, data1 == ndata1 */

     The  first  barrier makes sure that the first write finishes
before the
     second write is issued, so that two writes to the input port
are done in
     order  and  are not collapsed into a single write.  This ensures that the
     data bytes are written to the device correctly and in order.

     The  second barrier makes sure that the writes to the output
port finish
     before any of the reads to the input port are issued, thereby making sure
     that  all  of  the  writes are finished before data is read.
This ensures
     that the first byte read from the device really is the  last
one that was
     written.

     The  third  barrier  makes sure that the first read finishes
before the second
 read is issued, ensuring that data is read correctly and
in order.

     The barriers in the example above are specified to cover the
absolute
     minimum number of bus space locations.  It is  correct  (and
often easier)
     to make barrier operations cover the device's whole range of
bus space,
     that is, to specify an offset of zero and the  size  of  the
whole region.

REGION OPERATIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

     Some  devices use buffers which are mapped as regions in bus
space.  Often,
 drivers want to copy the contents of those  buffers  to
or from memory,
  e.g. into mbufs which can be passed to higher levels of
the system or
     from mbufs to be output to a network.   In  order  to  allow
drivers to do
     this      as      efficiently      as      possible,     the
bus_space_read_region_N() and
     bus_space_write_region_N() families of functions are provided.

     Drivers  occasionally need to copy one region of a bus space
to another,
     or to set all locations in a region of bus space to  contain
a single value.
  The bus_space_copy_N() family of functions and the
     bus_space_set_region_N()  family  of functions allow drivers
to perform
     these operations.

     bus_space_read_region_1(space, handle, offset, datap, count)
     bus_space_read_region_2(space, handle, offset, datap, count)
     bus_space_read_region_4(space, handle, offset, datap, count)
     bus_space_read_region_8(space, handle, offset, datap, count)

     The  bus_space_read_region_N()  family  of  functions  reads
count 1, 2, 4, or
     8  byte  data  items  from bus space starting at byte offset
offset in the
     region specified by handle of the  bus  space  specified  by
space and writes
     them into the array specified by datap.  Each successive data item is
     read from an offset 1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes after  the  previous
data item (depending
  on  which  function  is used).  All locations being
read must lie
     within the bus space region specified by handle.

     For portability, the starting address of the  region  specified by handle
     plus  the  offset  should  be a multiple of the size of data
items being read
     and the data array pointer should be properly  aligned.   On
some systems,
     not  obeying  these requirements may cause incorrect data to
be read, on
     others it may cause a system crash.

     Read operations done by the bus_space_read_region_N()  functions may be
     executed in any order.  They may also be executed out of order with respect
 to other pending read and write operations unless  order is enforced
     by use of the bus_space_barrier() function.  There is no way
to insert
     barriers between reads of individual bus space locations executed by the
     bus_space_read_region_N() functions.

     These  functions  will never fail.  If they would fail (e.g.
because of an
     argument error), that indicates a software bug which  should
cause a panic.
  In that case, they will never return.

     bus_space_write_region_1(space,   handle,   offset,   datap,
count)
     bus_space_write_region_2(space,   handle,   offset,   datap,
count)
     bus_space_write_region_4(space,   handle,   offset,   datap,
count)
     bus_space_write_region_8(space,   handle,   offset,   datap,
count)

     The  bus_space_write_region_N()  family  of  functions reads
count 1, 2, 4,
     or 8 byte data items from the array specified by  datap  and
writes them to
     bus space starting at byte offset offset in the region specified by
     handle of the bus space specified by space.  Each successive
data item is
     written  to an offset 1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes after the previous
data item
     (depending on which function is used).  All locations  being
written must
     lie within the bus space region specified by handle.

     For  portability,  the starting address of the region specified by handle
     plus the offset should be a multiple of  the  size  of  data
items being
     written  and  the  data  array  pointer  should  be properly
aligned.  On some
     systems, not obeying these requirements may cause  incorrect
data to be
     written, on others it may cause a system crash.

     Write  operations  done  by  the  bus_space_write_region_N()
functions may be
     executed in any order.  They may also be executed out of order with respect
  to other pending read and write operations unless order is enforced
     by use of the bus_space_barrier() function.  There is no way
to insert
     barriers  between  writes  of individual bus space locations
executed by the
     bus_space_write_region_N() functions.

     These functions will never fail.  If they would  fail  (e.g.
because of an
     argument  error), that indicates a software bug which should
cause a panic.
  In that case, they will never return.

     bus_space_copy_8(space,   srchandle,  srcoffset,  dsthandle,
dstoffset,
     count)

     The bus_space_copy_N() family of functions copies  count  1,
2, 4, or 8
     byte  data items in bus space from the area starting at byte
offset
     srcoffset in the region specified by srchandle  of  the  bus
space specified
     by  space  to  the area starting at byte offset dstoffset in
the region
     specified by dsthandle in the same bus space.  Each  successive data item
     read  or written has an offset 1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes after the
previous data
     item (depending on which function is used).   All  locations
being read and
     written  must  lie  within the bus space region specified by
their respective
 handles.

     For portability, the starting addresses of the regions specified by each
     handle  plus  its  respective offset should be a multiple of
the size of data
 items being copied.  On some systems,  not  obeying  this
requirement may
     cause  incorrect data to be copied, on others it may cause a
system crash.

     Read and write operations  done  by  the  bus_space_copy_N()
functions may be
     executed in any order.  They may also be executed out of order with respect
 to other pending read and write operations unless  order is enforced
     by  use of the bus_space_barrier(function).  There is no way
to insert
     barriers between reads or writes of individual bus space locations executed
 by the bus_space_copy_N() functions.

     Overlapping  copies between different subregions of a single
region of bus
     space are handled correctly by the bus_space_copy_N()  functions.

     These  functions  will never fail.  If they would fail (e.g.
because of an
     argument error), that indicates a software bug which  should
cause a panic.
  In that case, they will never return.

     bus_space_set_region_2(space, handle, offset, value, count)
     bus_space_set_region_4(space, handle, offset, value, count)
     bus_space_set_region_8(space, handle, offset, value, count)

     The  bus_space_set_region_N() family of functions writes the
given value
     to count 1, 2, 4, or 8 byte data items in bus space starting
at byte offset
  offset  in  the  region  specified by handle of the bus
space specified
     by space.  Each successive data item has an offset 1, 2,  4,
or 8 bytes
     after the previous data item (depending on which function is
used).  All
     locations being written must lie within the bus space region
specified by
     handle.

     For  portability,  the starting address of the region specified by handle
     plus the offset should be a multiple of  the  size  of  data
items being
     written.   On some systems, not obeying this requirement may
cause incorrect
 data to be written, on others it  may  cause  a  system
crash.

     Write  operations done by the bus_space_set_region_N() functions may be
     executed in any order.  They may also be executed out of order with respect
  to other pending read and write operations unless order is enforced
     by use of the bus_space_barrier() function.  There is no way
to insert
     barriers  between  writes  of individual bus space locations
executed by the
     bus_space_set_region_N() functions.

     These functions will never fail.  If they would  fail  (e.g.
because of an
     argument  error), that indicates a software bug which should
cause a panic.
  In that case, they will never return.

READING AND WRITING A SINGLE LOCATION MULTIPLE TIMES    [Toc]    [Back]

     Some devices implement single locations in bus  space  which
are to be read
     or  written  multiple  times  to communicate data, e.g. some
ethernet devices'
 packet buffer FIFOs.  In order to  allow  drivers  to
manipulate
     these types of devices as efficiently as possible, the
     bus_space_read_multi_N(), bus_space_write_multi_N(), and
     bus_space_set_multi_N()  families of functions are provided.

     bus_space_read_multi_1(space, handle, offset, datap, count)
     bus_space_read_multi_2(space, handle, offset, datap, count)
     bus_space_read_multi_4(space, handle, offset, datap, count)
     bus_space_read_multi_8(space, handle, offset, datap, count)

     The bus_space_read_multi_N() family of functions reads count
1, 2, 4, or
     8  byte  data  items from bus space at byte offset offset in
the region
     specified by handle of the bus space specified by space  and
writes them
     into  the  array  specified  by datap.  Each successive data
item is read
     from the same location in bus  space.   The  location  being
read must lie
     within the bus space region specified by handle.

     For  portability,  the starting address of the region specified by handle
     plus the offset should be a multiple of  the  size  of  data
items being read
     and  the  data array pointer should be properly aligned.  On
some systems,
     not obeying these requirements may cause incorrect  data  to
be read, on
     others it may cause a system crash.

     Read  operations  done by the bus_space_read_multi_N() functions may be executed
 out of order with respect to other pending  read  and
write operations
   unless   order   is   enforced   by   use   of   the
bus_space_barrier() function.
  Because the bus_space_read_multi_N()  functions  read
the same bus
     space  location  multiple times, they place an implicit read
barrier between
 each successive read of that bus space location.

     These functions will never fail.  If they would  fail  (e.g.
because of an
     argument  error), that indicates a software bug which should
cause a panic.
  In that case, they will never return.

     bus_space_write_multi_1(space, handle, offset, datap, count)
     bus_space_write_multi_2(space, handle, offset, datap, count)
     bus_space_write_multi_4(space, handle, offset, datap, count)
     bus_space_write_multi_8(space, handle, offset, datap, count)

     The  bus_space_write_multi_N()  family  of  functions  reads
count 1, 2, 4, or
     8  byte  data  items  from  the array specified by datap and
writes them into
     bus space at byte offset offset in the region  specified  by
handle of the
     bus  space specified by space.  Each successive data item is
written to
     the same location in bus space.  The location being  written
must lie
     within the bus space region specified by handle.

     For  portability,  the starting address of the region specified by handle
     plus the offset should be a multiple of  the  size  of  data
items being
     written  and  the  data  array  pointer  should  be properly
aligned.  On some
     systems, not obeying these requirement
