SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +================= +PCI NTB Function +================= + +:Author: Kishon Vijay Abraham I + +PCI Non-Transparent Bridges (NTB) allow two host systems to communicate +with each other by exposing each host as a device to the other host. +NTBs typically support the ability to generate interrupts on the remote +machine, expose memory ranges as BARs and perform DMA. They also support +scratchpads which are areas of memory within the NTB that are accessible +from both machines. + +PCI NTB Function allows two different systems (or hosts) to communicate +with each other by configurig the endpoint instances in such a way that +transactions from one system are routed to the other system. + +In the below diagram, PCI NTB function configures the SoC with multiple +PCIe Endpoint (EP) instances in such a way that transactions from one EP +controller are routed to the other EP controller. Once PCI NTB function +configures the SoC with multiple EP instances, HOST1 and HOST2 can +communicate with each other using SoC as a bridge. + +.. code-block:: text + + +-------------+ +-------------+ + | | | | + | HOST1 | | HOST2 | + | | | | + +------^------+ +------^------+ + | | + | | + +---------|-------------------------------------------------|---------+ + | +------v------+ +------v------+ | + | | | | | | + | | EP | | EP | | + | | CONTROLLER1 | | CONTROLLER2 | | + | | <-----------------------------------> | | + | | | | | | + | | | | | | + | | | SoC With Multiple EP Instances | | | + | | | (Configured using NTB Function) | | | + | +-------------+ +-------------+ | + +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ + +Constructs used for Implementing NTB +==================================== + + 1) Config Region + 2) Self Scratchpad Registers + 3) Peer Scratchpad Registers + 4) Doorbell (DB) Registers + 5) Memory Window (MW) + + +Config Region: +-------------- + +Config Region is a construct that is specific to NTB implemented using NTB +Endpoint Function Driver. The host and endpoint side NTB function driver will +exchange information with each other using this region. Config Region has +Control/Status Registers for configuring the Endpoint Controller. Host can +write into this region for configuring the outbound Address Translation Unit +(ATU) and to indicate the link status. Endpoint can indicate the status of +commands issued by host in this region. Endpoint can also indicate the +scratchpad offset and number of memory windows to the host using this region. + +The format of Config Region is given below. All the fields here are 32 bits. + +.. code-block:: text + + +------------------------+ + | COMMAND | + +------------------------+ + | ARGUMENT | + +------------------------+ + | STATUS | + +------------------------+ + | TOPOLOGY | + +------------------------+ + | ADDRESS (LOWER 32) | + +------------------------+ + | ADDRESS (UPPER 32) | + +------------------------+ + | SIZE | + +------------------------+ + | NO OF MEMORY WINDOW | + +------------------------+ + | MEMORY WINDOW1 OFFSET | + +------------------------+ + | SPAD OFFSET | + +------------------------+ + | SPAD COUNT | + +------------------------+ + | DB ENTRY SIZE | + +------------------------+ + | DB DATA | + +------------------------+ + | : | + +------------------------+ + | : | + +------------------------+ + | DB DATA | + +------------------------+ + + + COMMAND: + + NTB function supports three commands: + + CMD_CONFIGURE_DOORBELL (0x1): Command to configure doorbell. Before + invoking this command, the host should allocate and initialize + MSI/MSI-X vectors (i.e., initialize the MSI/MSI-X capability in the + Endpoint). The endpoint on receiving this command will configure + the outbound ATU such that transactions to Doorbell BAR will be routed + to the MSI/MSI-X address programmed by the host. The ARGUMENT + register should be populated with number of DBs to configure (in the + lower 16 bits) and if MSI or MSI-X should be configured (BIT 16). + + CMD_CONFIGURE_MW (0x2): Command to configure memory window (MW). The + host invokes this command after allocating a buffer that can be + accessed by remote host. The allocated address should be programmed + in the ADDRESS register (64 bit), the size should be programmed in + the SIZE register and the memory window index should be programmed + in the ARGUMENT register. The endpoint on receiving this command + will configure the outbound ATU such that transactions to MW BAR + is routed to the address provided by the host. + + CMD_LINK_UP (0x3): Command to indicate an NTB application is + bound to the EP device on the host side. Once the endpoint + receives this command from both the hosts, the endpoint will + raise an LINK_UP event to both the hosts to indicate the host + NTB applications can start communicating with each other. + + ARGUMENT: + + The value of this register is based on the commands issued in + command register. See COMMAND section for more information. + + TOPOLOGY: + + Set to NTB_TOPO_B2B_USD for Primary interface + Set to NTB_TOPO_B2B_DSD for Secondary interface + + ADDRESS/SIZE: + + Address and Size to be used while configuring the memory window. + See "CMD_CONFIGURE_MW" for more info. + + MEMORY WINDOW1 OFFSET: + + Memory Window 1 and Doorbell registers are packed together in the + same BAR. The initial portion of the region will have doorbell + registers and the latter portion of the region is for memory window 1. + This register will specify the offset of the memory window 1. + + NO OF MEMORY WINDOW: + + Specifies the number of memory windows supported by the NTB device. + + SPAD OFFSET: + + Self scratchpad region and config region are packed together in the + same BAR. The initial portion of the region will have config region + and the latter portion of the region is for self scratchpad. This + register will specify the offset of the self scratchpad registers. + + SPAD COUNT: + + Specifies the number of scratchpad registers supported by the NTB + device. + + DB ENTRY SIZE: + + Used to determine the offset within the DB BAR that should be written + in order to raise doorbell. EPF NTB can use either MSI/MSI-X to + ring doorbell (MSI-X support will be added later). MSI uses same + address for all the interrupts and MSI-X can provide different + addresses for different interrupts. The MSI/MSI-X address is provided + by the host and the address it gives is based on the MSI/MSI-X + implementation supported by the host. For instance, ARM platform + using GIC ITS will have same MSI-X address for all the interrupts. + In order to support all the combinations and use the same mechanism + for both MSI and MSI-X, EPF NTB allocates separate region in the + Outbound Address Space for each of the interrupts. This region will + be mapped to the MSI/MSI-X address provided by the host. If a host + provides the same address for all the interrupts, all the regions + will be translated to the same address. If a host provides different + address, the regions will be translated to different address. This + will ensure there is no difference while raising the doorbell. + + DB DATA: + + EPF NTB supports 32 interrupts. So there are 32 DB DATA registers. + This holds the MSI/MSI-X data that has to be written to MSI address + for raising doorbell interrupt. This will be populated by EPF NTB + while invoking CMD_CONFIGURE_DOORBELL. + +Scratchpad Registers: +--------------------- + + Each host has its own register space allocated in the memory of NTB endpoint + controller. They are both readable and writable from both sides of the bridge. + They are used by applications built over NTB and can be used to pass control + and status information between both sides of a device. + + Scratchpad registers has 2 parts + 1) Self Scratchpad: Host's own register space + 2) Peer Scratchpad: Remote host's register space. + +Doorbell Registers: +------------------- + + Doorbell Registers are used by the hosts to interrupt each other. + +Memory Window: +-------------- + + Actual transfer of data between the two hosts will happen using the + memory window. + +Modeling Constructs: +==================== + +There are 5 or more distinct regions (config, self scratchpad, peer +scratchpad, doorbell, one or more memory windows) to be modeled to achieve +NTB functionality. At least one memory window is required while more than +one is permitted. All these regions should be mapped to BAR for hosts to +access these regions. + +If one 32-bit BAR is allocated for each of these regions, the scheme would +look like + +====== =============== +BAR NO CONSTRUCTS USED +====== =============== +BAR0 Config Region +BAR1 Self Scratchpad +BAR2 Peer Scratchpad +BAR3 Doorbell +BAR4 Memory Window 1 +BAR5 Memory Window 2 +====== =============== + +However if we allocate a separate BAR for each of the regions, there would not +be enough BARs for all the regions in a platform that supports only 64-bit +BAR. + +In order to be supported by most of the platforms, the regions should be +packed and mapped to BARs in a way that provides NTB functionality and +also making sure the hosts doesn't access any region that it is not supposed +to. + +The following scheme is used in EPF NTB Function + +====== =============================== +BAR NO CONSTRUCTS USED +====== =============================== +BAR0 Config Region + Self Scratchpad +BAR1 Peer Scratchpad +BAR2 Doorbell + Memory Window 1 +BAR3 Memory Window 2 +BAR4 Memory Window 3 +BAR5 Memory Window 4 +====== =============================== + +With this scheme, for the basic NTB functionality 3 BARs should be sufficient. + +Modeling Config/Scratchpad Region: +---------------------------------- + +.. code-block:: text + + +-----------------+------->+------------------+ +-----------------+ + | BAR0 | | CONFIG REGION | | BAR0 | + +-----------------+----+ +------------------+<-------+-----------------+ + | BAR1 | | |SCRATCHPAD REGION | | BAR1 | + +-----------------+ +-->+------------------+<-------+-----------------+ + | BAR2 | Local Memory | BAR2 | + +-----------------+ +-----------------+ + | BAR3 | | BAR3 | + +-----------------+ +-----------------+ + | BAR4 | | BAR4 | + +-----------------+ +-----------------+ + | BAR5 | | BAR5 | + +-----------------+ +-----------------+ + EP CONTROLLER 1 EP CONTROLLER 2 + +Above diagram shows Config region + Scratchpad region for HOST1 (connected to +EP controller 1) allocated in local memory.
