SPDX-License-Identifier: BSD-3-Clause + Copyright 2021 HiSilicon Limited + +DMA Device Library +==================== + +The DMA library provides a DMA device framework for management and provisioning +of hardware and software DMA poll mode drivers, defining generic APIs which +support a number of different DMA operations. + + +Design Principles +----------------- + +The DMA library follows the same basic principles as those used in DPDK's +Ethernet Device framework and the RegEx framework. The DMA framework provides +a generic DMA device framework which supports both physical (hardware) +and virtual (software) DMA devices as well as a generic DMA API which allows +DMA devices to be managed and configured and supports DMA operations to be +provisioned on DMA poll mode driver. + +.. _figure_dmadev: + +.. figure:: img/dmadev.* + +The above figure shows the model on which the DMA framework is built on: + + * The DMA controller could have multiple hardware DMA channels (aka. hardware + DMA queues), each hardware DMA channel should be represented by a dmadev. + * The dmadev could create multiple virtual DMA channels, each virtual DMA + channel represents a different transfer context. The DMA operation request + must be submitted to the virtual DMA channel. e.g. Application could create + virtual DMA channel 0 for memory-to-memory transfer scenario, and create + virtual DMA channel 1 for memory-to-device transfer scenario. + + +Device Management +----------------- + +Device Creation +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Physical DMA controllers are discovered during the PCI probe/enumeration of the +EAL function which is executed at DPDK initialization, this is based on their +PCI BDF (bus/bridge, device, function). Specific physical DMA controllers, like +other physical devices in DPDK can be listed using the EAL command line options. + +The dmadevs are dynamically allocated by using the API +``rte_dmadev_pmd_allocate`` based on the number of hardware DMA channels. + + +Device Identification +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Each DMA device, whether physical or virtual is uniquely designated by two +identifiers: + +- A unique device index used to designate the DMA device in all functions + exported by the DMA API. + +- A device name used to designate the DMA device in console messages, for + administration or debugging purposes. + + +Device Configuration +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The rte_dmadev_configure API is used to configure a DMA device. + +.. code-block:: c + + int rte_dmadev_configure(uint16_t dev_id, + const struct rte_dmadev_conf *dev_conf); + +The ``rte_dmadev_conf`` structure is used to pass the configuration parameters +for the DMA device for example the number of virtual DMA channels to set up, +indication of whether to enable silent mode. + + +Configuration of Virtual DMA Channels +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The rte_dmadev_vchan_setup API is used to configure a virtual DMA channel. + +.. code-block:: c + + int rte_dmadev_vchan_setup(uint16_t dev_id, uint16_t vchan, + const struct rte_dmadev_vchan_conf *conf); + +The ``rte_dmadev_vchan_conf`` structure is used to pass the configuration +parameters for the virtual DMA channel for example transfer direction, number of +descriptor for the virtual DMA channel, source device access port parameter, +destination device access port parameter. + + +Device Features and Capabilities +-------------------------------- + +DMA devices may support different feature sets. The ``rte_dmadev_info_get`` API +can be used to get the device info and supported features. + +Silent mode is a special device capability which does not require the +application to invoke dequeue APIs. + + +Enqueue / Dequeue APIs +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Enqueue APIs such as ``rte_dmadev_copy`` and ``rte_dmadev_fill`` can be used to +enqueue operations to hardware. If an enqueue is successful, a ``ring_idx`` is +returned. This ``ring_idx`` can be used by applications to track per operation +metadata in an application-defined circular ring. + +The ``rte_dmadev_submit`` API is used to issue doorbell to hardware. +Alternatively the ``RTE_DMA_OP_FLAG_SUBMIT`` flag can be passed to the enqueue +APIs to also issue the doorbell to hardware. + +There are two dequeue APIs ``rte_dmadev_completed`` and +``rte_dmadev_completed_status``, these are used to obtain the results of +the enqueue requests. ``rte_dmadev_completed`` will return the number of +successfully completed operations. ``rte_dmadev_completed_status`` will return +the number of completed operations along with the status of each operation +(filled into the ``status`` array passed by user). These two APIs can also +return the last completed operation's ``ring_idx`` which could help user track +operations within their own application-defined rings. diff --git a/doc/guides/prog_guide/img/dmadev.svg b/doc/guides/prog_guide/img/dmadev.svg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..157d7eb --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/guides/prog_guide/img/dmadev.svg @@ -0,0 +1,283 @@ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + virtual DMA channel + + virtual DMA channel + + virtual DMA channel + + + dmadev + + hardware DMA channel + + hardware DMA channel + + hardware DMA controller + + dmadev + + + + + + + + + diff --git a/doc/guides/prog_guide/index.rst b/doc/guides/prog_guide/index.rst index 2dce507..0abea06 100644 --- a/doc/guides/prog_guide/index.rst +++ b/doc/guides/prog_guide/index.rst @@ -29,6 +29,7 @@ Programmer's Guide regexdev rte_security rawdev + dmadev link_bonding_poll_mode_drv_lib timer_lib hash_lib -- 2.8.1
