These are the values that must be communicated to the DMA device. Taken together the segments exactly and completely describe the buffer being used to transfer data. .Pp bus_dma_tag_t's are an opaque type, received from higher software layers and are never created, changed, deleted or even examined in this interface. .Pp The basic cycle to transfer data to/from a dma device is: .Bd -literal bus_dmamap_create(); /* get a dmamap to load/unload */ for each dma xfer { bus_dmamem_alloc(); /* allocate some DMA'able memory */ bus_dmamem_map(); /* map it into the kernel address space */ /* * Fill the allocated DMA'able memory with whatever data * is to be sent out, using the pointer obtained with * bus_dmamem_map(). */ bus_dmamap_load(); /* initialize the segments of dmamap */ bus_dmamap_sync(); /* synchronize/flush any dma cache */ for (i=0; idm_segs[i].ds_addr) and the length * (dmamap->dm_segs[i].ds_len) of the memory to xfer. * * Start the DMA, wait until it's done */ } bus_dmamap_sync(); /* synchronize/flush any dma cache */ bus_dmamap_unload(); /* prepare dmamap for reuse */ /* * copy any data desired from the DMA'able memory using the * pointer created by bus_dmamem_map(). */ bus_dmamem_unmap(); /* free kernel virtual address space */ bus_dmamem_free(); /* free DMA'able memory */ } bus_dmamap_destroy(); /* release any resources used by dmamap */ .Ed .Sh NOTES All data structures, function prototypes, and macros are defined in the architecture-specific header .Pa Aq machine/bus.h . Note that this document assumes the existence of types already defined by the current "bus.h" interface. .Pp Unless otherwise noted, all function calls in this interface may be defined as .Xr cpp 1 macros. .Sh DATA TYPES Individual implementations may name these structures whatever they wish, providing that the external representations are: .Bl -tag -width compact .It Fa bus_dma_tag_t A machine-dependent opaque type describing the implementation of DMA for a given bus. .It Fa bus_dma_segment_t A structure with at least the following members: .Bd -literal bus_addr_t ds_addr; bus_size_t ds_len; .Ed .sp The structure may have machine-dependent members and arbitrary layout. The values in .Fa ds_addr and .Fa ds_len are suitable for programming into DMA controller address and length registers. .It Fa bus_dmamap_t A pointer to a structure with at least the following members: .Bd -literal int dm_nsegs; bus_dma_segment_t *dm_segs; .Ed .sp The structure may have machine-dependent members and arbitrary layout. The .Fa dm_segs member may be an array of segments or a pointer to an array of segments. The .Fa dm_nsegs member indicates the number of segments in .Fa dm_segs . .El .Sh FUNCTIONS .Bl -tag -width compact .It Fn 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: .Bl -tag -width nsegments -compact .It Fa tag This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the parent driver via .Fa _attach_args . .It Fa size This is the maximum DMA transfer that can be mapped by the handle. .It Fa nsegments Number of segments the device can support in a single DMA transaction. This may be the number of scatter-gather descriptors supported by the device. .It Fa maxsegsz The maximum number of bytes that may be transferred by any given DMA segment. .It Fa 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 .Fa 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 .Fa boundary argument of 0 should be used. .It Fa flags Flags are defined as follows: .Bl -tag -width BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW -compact .It Dv BUS_DMA_WAITOK It is safe to wait (sleep) for resources during this call. .It Dv BUS_DMA_NOWAIT It is not safe to wait (sleep) for resources during this call. .It Dv BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW Perform any resource allocation this handle may need now. If this is not specified, the allocation may be deferred to .Fn bus_dmamap_load . If this flag is specified, .Fn bus_dmamap_load will not block on resource allocation. .It Dv BUS_DMA_BUS[1-4] These flags are placeholders, and may be used by busses to provide bus-dependent functionality. .El .It Fa dmamp This is a pointer to a bus_dmamap_t. A DMA map will be allocated and pointed to by .Fa dmamp upon successful completion of this routine. .El .Pp Behavior is not defined if invalid arguments are passed to .Fn bus_dmamap_create . .Pp Returns 0 on success, or an error code to indicate mode of failure. .It Fn bus_dmamap_destroy "tag" "dmam" Frees all resources associated with a given DMA handle. Arguments are as follows: .Bl -tag -width dmam -compact .It Fa tag This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the parent driver via .Fa _attach_args . .It Fa dmam The DMA handle to destroy. .El .Pp In the event that the DMA handle contains a valid mapping, the mapping will be unloaded via the same mechanism used by .Fn bus_dmamap_unload . .Pp Behavior is not defined if invalid arguments are passed to .Fn bus_dmamap_destroy . .Pp If given valid arguments, .Fn bus_dmamap_destroy always succeeds. .It Fn 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: .Bl -tag -width buflen -compact .It Fa tag This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the parent driver via .Fa _attach_args . .It Fa dmam The DMA handle with which to map the transfer. .It Fa buf The buffer to be used for the DMA transfer. .It Fa buflen The size of the buffer. .It Fa p Used to indicate the address space in which the buffer is located. If .Dv NULL , the buffer is assumed to be in kernel space. Otherwise, the buffer is assumed to be in process .Fa p Ns 's address space. .It Fa flags are defined as follows: .Bl -tag -width "BUS_DMA_BUS[1-4]" -compact .It Dv BUS_DMA_WAITOK It is safe to wait (sleep) for resources during this call. .It Dv BUS_DMA_NOWAIT It is not safe to wait (sleep) for resources during this call. .It Dv BUS_DMA_BUS[1-4] These flags are placeholders, and may be used by busses to provide bus-dependent functionality. .El .El .Pp As noted above, if a DMA handle is created with .Dv BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW , .Fn bus_dmamap_load will never block. .Pp If a call to .Fn 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. .Pp Behavior is not defined if invalid arguments are passed to .Fn bus_dmamap_load . .Pp Returns 0 on success, or an error code to indicate mode of failure. .It Fn bus_dmamap_load_mbuf "tag" "dmam" "chain" "flags" This is a variation of .Fn bus_dmamap_load which maps mbuf chains for DMA transfers. Mbuf chains are assumed to be in kernel virtual address space. .It Fn bus_dmamap_load_uio "tag" "dmam" "uio" "flags" This is a variation of .Fn bus_dmamap_load which maps buffers pointed to by .Fa uio for DMA transfers. The value of .Fa "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 .Fa "uio->uio_procp" Ns 's address space. .It Fn bus_dmamap_load_raw "tag" "dmam" "segs" "nsegs" "size" "flags" This is a variation of .Fn bus_dmamap_load which maps buffers allocated by .Fn bus_dmamem_alloc (see below). The .Fa segs argument is an array of bus_dma_segment_t's filled in by .Fn bus_dmamem_alloc . The .Fa nsegs argument is the number of segments in the array. The .Fa size argument is the size of the DMA transfer. .It Fn bus_dmamap_unload "tag" "dmam" Deletes the mappings for a given DMA handle. Arguments are as follows: .Bl -tag -width dmam -compact .It Fa tag This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the parent driver via .Fa _attach_args . .It Fa dmam The DMA handle containing the mappings which are to be deleted. .El .Pp If the DMA handle was created with .Dv BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW , .Fn bus_dmamap_unload will not free the corresponding resources which were allocated by .Fn bus_dmamap_create . This is to ensure that .Fn bus_dmamap_load will never block on resources if the handle was created with .Dv BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW . .Pp Behavior is not defined if invalid arguments are passed to .Fn bus_dmamap_unload . .Pp If given valid arguments, .Fn bus_dmamap_unload always succeeds. .It Fn bus_dmamap_sync "tag" "dmam" "ops" Performs pre- and post-DMA operation cache and/or buffer synchronization. Arguments are as follows: .Bl -tag -width offset -compact .It Fa tag This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the parent driver via .Fa _attach_args . .It Fa dmam The DMA mapping to be synchronized. .It Fa ops One or more synchronization operation to perform. The following DMA synchronization operations are defined: .Bl -tag -width BUS_DMASYNC_POSTWRITE -compact .It Dv BUS_DMASYNC_PREREAD Perform any pre-read DMA cache and/or bounce operations. .It Dv BUS_DMASYNC_POSTREAD Perform any post-read DMA cache and/or bounce operations. .It Dv BUS_DMASYNC_PREWRITE Perform any pre-write DMA cache and/or bounce operations. .It Dv BUS_DMASYNC_POSTWRITE Perform any post-write DMA cache and/or bounce operations. .El .Pp More than one operation may performed in a given synchronization call. Mixing of .Em PRE and .Em POST operations is not allowed, and behavior is undefined if this is attempted. .El .Pp Synchronization operations are expressed from the perspective of the host RAM, e.g. a .Em "device -> memory" operation is a .Em READ and a .Em "memory -> device" operation is a .Em WRITE . .Pp .Fn 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, .Fn bus_dmamap_sync may elect to skip certain expensive operations, such as flushing of the data cache. See .Fn bus_dmamem_map for more information on this subject. .Pp On platforms which implement reordered stores, .Fn bus_dmamap_sync will always cause the store buffer to be flushed. .Pp 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 .Nm code when their data is 'ready' in its DMA buffer. .Pp An example of multiple read-write use of a single mapping might look like: .Bd -literal bus_dmamap_load(...); while (not done) { /* invalidate soon-to-be-stale cache blocks */ bus_dmamap_sync(..., BUS_DMASYNC_PREREAD); [ do read DMA ] /* copy from bounce */ bus_dmamap_sync(..., BUS_DMASYNC_POSTREAD); /* read data now in driver-provided buffer */ [ computation ] /* data to be written now in driver-provided buffer */ /* flush write buffers and writeback, copy to bounce */ bus_dmamap_sync(..., BUS_DMASYNC_PREWRITE); [ do write DMA ] /* probably a no-op, but provided for consistency */ bus_dmamap_sync(..., BUS_DMASYNC_POSTWRITE); } bus_dmamap_unload(...); .Ed .Pp If DMA read and write operations are not preceded and followed by the appropriate synchronization operations, behavior is undefined. .Pp Behavior is not defined if invalid arguments are passed to .Fn bus_dmamap_sync . .Pp If given valid arguments, .Fn bus_dmamap_sync always succeeds. .\" XXX: This does not work with all the arguments. .It Fn bus_dmamem_alloc "tag" "size" "alignment" "boundary" "segs" "..." Allocates memory that is "DMA safe" for the bus corresponding to the given tag. .Pp 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 .Fa segs can thus not be used to program DMA controller address registers. Only the values in the .Fa dm_segs array of a successfully loaded DMA map (using .Fn bus_dmamap_load ) can be used for this purpose. .Pp 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: .Bl -tag -width alignment -compact .It Fa tag The is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the parent driver via .Fa _attach_args . .It Fa size The amount of memory to allocate. .It Fa 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. .It Fa 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. .It Fa segs An array of bus_dma_segment_t's, filled in as memory is allocated, representing the opaque addresses of the memory chunks. .It Fa nsegs Specifies the number of segments in .Fa segs , and this is the maximum number of segments that the allocated memory may contain. .It Fa rsegs Used to return the actual number of segments the memory contains. .It Fa flags Flags are defined as follows: .Bl -tag -width BUS_DMA_BUS[1-4] -compact .It Dv BUS_DMA_WAITOK It is safe to wait (sleep) for resources during this call. .It Dv BUS_DMA_NOWAIT It is not safe to wait (sleep) for resources during this call. .It Dv BUS_DMA_BUS[1-4] These flags are placeholders, and may be used by busses to provide bus-dependent functionality. .El .El .Pp All pages allocated by .Fn bus_dmamem_alloc will be wired down until they are freed by .Fn bus_dmamem_free . .Pp Behavior is undefined if invalid arguments are passed to .Fn bus_dmamem_alloc . .Pp Returns 0 on success, or an error code indicating mode of failure. .It Fn bus_dmamem_free "tag" "segs" "nsegs" Frees memory previously allocated by .Fn bus_dmamem_alloc . Any mappings will be invalidated. Arguments are as follows: .Bl -tag -width nsegs -compact .It Fa tag This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the parent driver via .Fa _attach_args . .It Fa segs The array of bus_dma_segment_t's filled in by .Fn bus_dmamem_alloc . .It Fa nsegs The number of segments in .Fa segs . .El .Pp Behavior is undefined if invalid arguments are passed to .Fn bus_dmamem_free . .Pp If given valid arguments, .Fn bus_dmamem_free always succeeds. .It Fn bus_dmamem_map "tag" "segs" "nsegs" "size" "kvap" "flags" Maps memory allocated with .Fn bus_dmamem_alloc into kernel virtual address space. Arguments are as follows: .Bl -tag -width flags -compact .It Fa tag This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the parent driver via .Fa _attach_args . .It Fa segs The array of bus_dma_segment_t's filled in by .Fn bus_dmamem_alloc , representing the memory regions to map. .It Fa nsegs The number of segments in .Fa segs . .It Fa size The size of the mapping. .It Fa kvap Filled in to specify the kernel virtual address where the memory is mapped. .It Fa flags Flags are defined as follows: .Bl -tag -width BUS_DMA_COHERENT -compact .It Dv BUS_DMA_WAITOK It is safe to wait (sleep) for resources during this call. .It Dv BUS_DMA_NOWAIT It is not safe to wait (sleep) for resources during this call. .It Dv BUS_DMA_BUS[1-4] These flags are placeholders, and may be used by busses to provide bus-dependent functionality. .It Dv BUS_DMA_COHERENT This flag is a .Em 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 implementation of DMA coherent mappings is impossible, this is ignored. .Pp 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 .Fn bus_dmamap_sync . .El .El .Pp Behavior is undefined if invalid arguments are passed to .Fn bus_dmamem_map . This function must not be called from an interrupt context. .Pp Returns 0 on success, or an error code indicating mode of failure. .It Fn bus_dmamem_unmap "tag" "kva" "size" Unmaps memory previously mapped with .Fn bus_dmamem_map , freeing the kernel virtual address space used by the mapping. The arguments are as follows: .Bl -tag -width size -compact .It Fa tag This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the parent driver via .Fa _attach_args . .It Fa kva The kernel virtual address of the mapped memory. .It Fa size The size of the mapping. .El .Pp Behavior is undefined if invalid arguments are passed to .Fn bus_dmamem_unmap . This function must not be called from an interrupt context. .Pp If given valid arguments, .Fn bus_dmamem_unmap always succeeds. .It Fn bus_dmamem_mmap "tag" "segs" "nsegs" "off" "prot" "flags" Provides support for user .Xr mmap 2 Ns '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: .Bl -tag -width nsegs -compact .It Fa tag This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the parent driver via .Fa _attach_args . .It Fa segs The array of bus_dma_segment_t's filled in by .Fn bus_dmamem_alloc , representing the memory to be .Xr mmap 2 Ns 'ed . .It Fa nsegs The number of elements in the .Fa segs array. .It Fa off The offset of the page in DMA memory which is to be mapped. .It Fa prot The protection codes for the mapping. .It Fa flags Flags are defined as follows: .Bl -tag -width BUS_DMA_COHERENT -compact .It Dv BUS_DMA_WAITOK It is safe to wait (sleep) for resources during this call. .It Dv BUS_DMA_NOWAIT It is not safe to wait (sleep) for resources during this call. .It Dv BUS_DMA_BUS[1-4] These flags are placeholders, and may be used by busses to provide bus-dependent functionality. .It Dv BUS_DMA_COHERENT See .Fn bus_dmamem_map above for a description of this flag. .El .El .Pp Behavior is undefined if invalid arguments are passed to .Fn bus_dmamem_mmap . .Pp Returns -1 to indicate failure. Otherwise, returns an opaque value to be interpreted by the device pager. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr bus_space 9 .Sh AUTHORS The .Nm interface was designed and implemented by Jason R.
