resources: add io-mapping functions to dynamically map large device apertures
Impact: add new generic io_map_*() APIs Graphics devices have large PCI apertures which would consume a significant fraction of a 32-bit address space if mapped during driver initialization. Using ioremap at runtime is impractical as it is too slow. This new set of interfaces uses atomic mappings on 32-bit processors and a large static mapping on 64-bit processors to provide reasonable 32-bit performance and optimal 64-bit performance. The current implementation sits atop the io_map_atomic fixmap-based mechanism for 32-bit processors.

The io_mapping functions in linux/io-mapping.h provide an abstraction for
|
||||
efficiently mapping small regions of an I/O device to the CPU. The initial
|
||||
usage is to support the large graphics aperture on 32-bit processors where
|
||||
ioremap_wc cannot be used to statically map the entire aperture to the CPU
|
||||
as it would consume too much of the kernel address space.
|
||||
|
||||
A mapping object is created during driver initialization using
|
||||
|
||||
struct io_mapping *io_mapping_create_wc(unsigned long base,
|
||||
unsigned long size)
|
||||
|
||||
'base' is the bus address of the region to be made
|
||||
mappable, while 'size' indicates how large a mapping region to
|
||||
enable. Both are in bytes.
|
||||
|
||||
This _wc variant provides a mapping which may only be used
|
||||
with the io_mapping_map_atomic_wc or io_mapping_map_wc.
|
||||
|
||||
With this mapping object, individual pages can be mapped either atomically
|
||||
or not, depending on the necessary scheduling environment. Of course, atomic
|
||||
maps are more efficient:
|
||||
|
||||
void *io_mapping_map_atomic_wc(struct io_mapping *mapping,
|
||||
unsigned long offset)
|
||||
|
||||
'offset' is the offset within the defined mapping region.
|
||||
Accessing addresses beyond the region specified in the
|
||||
creation function yields undefined results. Using an offset
|
||||
which is not page aligned yields an undefined result. The
|
||||
return value points to a single page in CPU address space.
|
||||
|
||||
This _wc variant returns a write-combining map to the
|
||||
page and may only be used with mappings created by
|
||||
io_mapping_create_wc
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the task may not sleep while holding this page
|
||||
mapped.
|
||||
|
||||
void io_mapping_unmap_atomic(void *vaddr)
|
||||
|
||||
'vaddr' must be the the value returned by the last
|
||||
io_mapping_map_atomic_wc call. This unmaps the specified
|
||||
page and allows the task to sleep once again.
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to sleep while holding the lock, you can use the non-atomic
|
||||
variant, although they may be significantly slower.
|
||||
|
||||
void *io_mapping_map_wc(struct io_mapping *mapping,
|
||||
unsigned long offset)
|
||||
|
||||
This works like io_mapping_map_atomic_wc except it allows
|
||||
the task to sleep while holding the page mapped.
|
||||
|
||||
void io_mapping_unmap(void *vaddr)
|
||||
|
||||
This works like io_mapping_unmap_atomic, except it is used
|
||||
for pages mapped with io_mapping_map_wc.
|
||||
|
||||
At driver close time, the io_mapping object must be freed:
|
||||
|
||||
void io_mapping_free(struct io_mapping *mapping)
|
||||
|
||||
Current Implementation:
|
||||
|
||||
The initial implementation of these functions uses existing mapping
|
||||
mechanisms and so provides only an abstraction layer and no new
|
||||
functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
On 64-bit processors, io_mapping_create_wc calls ioremap_wc for the whole
|
||||
range, creating a permanent kernel-visible mapping to the resource. The
|
||||
map_atomic and map functions add the requested offset to the base of the
|
||||
virtual address returned by ioremap_wc.
|
||||
|
||||
On 32-bit processors, io_mapping_map_atomic_wc uses io_map_atomic_prot_pfn,
|
||||
which uses the fixmaps to get us a mapping to a page using an atomic fashion.
|
||||
For io_mapping_map_wc, ioremap_wc() is used to get a mapping of the region.
