Subject: [RESEND PATCHv5 00/11] modem_shm: Driver for ST-E Thor M7400 LTE modem
This patch-set implements a shared memory interface for ST-Ericsson modem
M7400. Review comments and feedback are welcome.
Patches are available at: git://github.com/sjurbren/modem-ipc.git for-next.
Introduction:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This patch-set introduces the Shared Memory Driver for ST-Ericsson's
Thor M7400 LTE modem.
The shared memory model is implemented for Chip-to-chip and
uses a reserved memory area and a number of bi-directional
channels. Each channel has it's own designated data area where payload
data is copied into.
Two different channel types are defined, one stream channel which is
implemented as a traditional ring-buffer, and a packet channel which
is a ring-buffer of fix sized buffers where each buffer contains
an array of CAIF frames.
The notification of read and write index updates are handled in a
separate driver called c2c_genio. This driver will be contributed separately,
but the API is included in this patch-set.
The channel configuration is stored in shared memory, each channel
has a designated area in shared memory for configuration data,
read and write indexes and a data area.
Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IPC-TOC
+--------------------+ Index Area
| Channel Descr 0 | -----> +------------+
| | -+ | Read Index |
|--------------------| | |------------|
| Channel Descr 1 | | | Write Index|
| | | +------------+
|--------------------| | Data Area
| ... | | +------------+
| | +---> | |
+--------------------+ | |
| |
+------------+
A IPC-TOC (table of content) is used for holding configuration data
for the channels (struct shm_ipctoc). It contains an array of
channel descriptors (struct shm_ipctoc_channel). The channel
descriptors points out the data area and the location of
read and write indexes.
The configuration is provided from user-space using gen-netlink.
The gen-netlink format is defined in modem_shm_netlink.h and and handled
in shm_boot.c
Packet data
~~~~~~~~~~~
The packet channel is set up to minimize interrupts needed to
transfer a packet and to allow efficient DMA operations on the modem.
Ring Buffer Indexes:
+------------+
+-| Read Index |
| |------------|
| | Write Index|------------------------+
| +------------+ |
| |
V |
Buffer-0: V Buffer-1:
+----------------------------------------+---------------+---
|ofs,len|ofs,len| ....| frm-0|frm-1| ... | ofs,len | ....|...
+----------------------------------------+---------------+--
| | ^ ^
+---------------------+ |
+---------------------+
Packet data is organized in a channel containing a number of fixed-
size buffers. The channel has a read and write pointer to a buffer in a normal
ring-buffer fashion.
Each buffer holds an array of CAIF-frames, and starts with an descriptor array
containing pointers to the data frames in the buffer. The descriptor array
contains offset and length of each frame.
The packet device (caif_shm.c) is implemented as a network interface of
type ARPHRD_CAIF.
Stream data
~~~~~~~~~~~
The driver for the stream channel is implemented as a character device
interface to user space. The character device implements non-blocking open
and non-blocking IO in general. The character device is implementing
a traditional circular buffer directly in the shared memory region for
the channel.
Driver model
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A SHM bus is implemented, the example below shows one device
of each type (stream and packet):
