BAR0 maps device register space and is +0x2000 in size. BAR1 maps MSI-X vector and PBA tables and is also 0x2000 in +size, allowing for 256 MSI-X vectors. + +All registers are 4 or 8 bytes long. It is assumed host software will access 4 +byte registers with one 4-byte access, and 8 byte registers with either two +4-byte accesses or a single 8-byte access. In the case of two 4-byte accesses, +access must be lower and then upper 4-bytes, in that order. + +BAR0 device register space is organized as follows: + + offset description + ------------------------------------------------------ + 0x0000-0x000f Bogus registers to catch misbehaving + drivers.

Command processing includes statistical counters and table dumps, +table insertion/deletion, and more. Event processing provides an async +notification method for device-originating events. Each DMA operation has a +set of control registers to manage a descriptor ring. The descriptor rings are +allocated from contiguous host DMA-able memory and registers specify the rings +base address, size and current head and tail indices. Software always writes +the head, and hardware always writes the tail. + +The higher-order bit of DMA_DESC_COMP_ERR is used to mark hardware completion +of a descriptor. Software will clear this bit when posting a descriptor to the +ring, and hardware will set this bit when the descriptor is complete. + +Descriptor ring sizes must be a power of 2 and range from 2 to 64K entries. +Descriptor rings' base address must be 8-byte aligned. Descriptors must be +packed within ring. Each descriptor in each ring must also be aligned on an 8 +byte boundary. Each descriptor ring will have these registers: + + DMA_DESC_xxx_BASE_ADDR, offset 0x1000 + (x * 32), 64-bit, (R/W) + DMA_DESC_xxx_SIZE, offset 0x1008 + (x * 32), 32-bit, (R/W) + DMA_DESC_xxx_HEAD, offset 0x100c + (x * 32), 32-bit, (R/W) + DMA_DESC_xxx_TAIL, offset 0x1010 + (x * 32), 32-bit, (R) + DMA_DESC_xxx_CTRL, offset 0x1014 + (x * 32), 32-bit, (W) + DMA_DESC_xxx_CREDITS, offset 0x1018 + (x * 32), 32-bit, (R/W) + DMA_DESC_xxx_RSVD1, offset 0x101c + (x * 32), 32-bit, (R/W) + +Where x is descriptor ring index: + + index ring + -------------------- + 0 CMD + 1 EVENT + 2 TX (port 0) + 3 RX (port 0) + 4 TX (port 1) + 5 RX (port 1) + . + . + . + 124 TX (port 61) + 125 RX (port 61) + 126 Resv + 127 Resv + +Writing BASE_ADDR or SIZE will reset HEAD and TAIL to zero. HEAD cannot be +written past TAIL. To do so would wrap the ring. An empty ring is when HEAD +== TAIL. A full ring is when HEAD is one position behind TAIL. Both HEAD and +TAIL increment and modulo wrap at the ring size. + +CTRL register bits: + + bit name description + ------------------------------------------------------------------------ + [0] CTRL_RESET Reset the descriptor ring + [1:31] Reserved + +All descriptor types share some common fields: + + field width description + ------------------------------------------------------------------- + DMA_DESC_BUF_ADDR 8 Phys addr of desc payload, 8-byte + aligned + DMA_DESC_COOKIE 8 Desc cookie for completion matching, + upper-most bit is reserved + DMA_DESC_BUF_SIZE 2 Desc payload size in bytes + DMA_DESC_TLV_SIZE 2 Desc payload total size in bytes + used for TLVs.

High order bit is + clear on new descs, toggled by + hw for completed items. + +To support forward- and backward-compatibility, descriptor and completion +payloads are specified in TLV format. Fields are packed with Type=field name, +Length=field length, and Value=field value. Software will ignore unknown fields +filled in by the switch. Likewise, the switch will ignore unknown fields +filled in by software. + +Descriptor payload buffer is 8-byte aligned and TLVs are 8-byte aligned. The +value within a TLV is also 8-byte aligned. The (packed, 8 byte) TLV header is: + + field width description + ----------------------------- + type 4 TLV type + len 2 TLV value length + pad 2 Reserved + +The alignment requirements for descriptors and TLVs are to avoid unaligned +access exceptions in software.

Each descriptor ring has +a credit count which represents the number of outstanding descriptors to be +processed by the driver. As the device marks descriptors complete, the credit +count is incremented. As the driver processes those outstanding descriptors, +it returns credits back to the device. This way, the device knows the driver's +progress and can make decisions about when to fire the next interrupt or not. +When the credit count is zero, and the first descriptors are posted for the +driver, a single interrupt is fired. Once the interrupt is fired, the +interrupt is disabled (auto-masked*). In response to the interrupt, the driver +will process descriptors and PIO write a returned credit value for that +descriptor ring. If the driver returns all credits (the driver caught up with +the device and there is no outstanding work), then the interrupt is unmasked, +but not fired. If only partial credits are returned, the interrupt remains +masked but the device generates an interrupt, signaling the driver that more +outstanding work is available. + +(* this masking is unrelated to to the MSI-X interrupt mask register) + +Endianness +---------- + +Device registers are hard-coded to little-endian (LE). The driver should +convert to/from host endianess to LE for device register accesses. + +Descriptors are LE. Descriptor buffer TLVs will have LE type and length +fields, but the value field can either be LE or network-byte-order, depending +on context. TLV values containing network packet data will be in network-byte +order. A TLV value containing a field or mask used to compare against network +packet data is network-byte order. For example, flow match fields (and masks) +are network-byte-order since they're matched directly, byte-by-byte, against +network packet data. All non-network-packet TLV multi-byte values will be LE. + +TLV values in network-byte-order are designated with (N). + + +SECTION 5: Test Registers +========================= + +Rocker has several test registers to support troubleshooting register access, +interrupt generation, and DMA operations: + + TEST_REG, offset 0x0010, 32-bit (R/W) + TEST_REG64, offset 0x0018, 64-bit (R/W) + TEST_IRQ, offset 0x0020, 32-bit (R/W) + TEST_DMA_ADDR, offset 0x0028, 64-bit (R/W) + TEST_DMA_SIZE, offset 0x0030, 32-bit (R/W) + TEST_DMA_CTRL, offset 0x0034, 32-bit (R/W) + +Reads to TEST_REG and TEST_REG64 will read a value equal to twice the last +value written to the register. The 32-bit and 64-bit versions are for testing +32-bit and 64-bit host accesses. + +A vector can be written to TEST_IRQ and the device will generate an interrupt +for that vector. + +To test basic DMA operations, allocate a DMA-able host buffer and put the +buffer address into TEST_DMA_ADDR and size into TEST_DMA_SIZE. Then, write to +TEST_DMA_CTRL to manipulate the buffer contents. TEST_DMA_CTRL operations are: + + operation value description + ----------------------------------------------------------- + TEST_DMA_CTRL_CLEAR 1 clear buffer + TEST_DMA_CTRL_FILL 2 fill buffer bytes with 0x96 + TEST_DMA_CTRL_INVERT 4 invert bytes in buffer + +Various buffer address and sizes should be tested to verify no address boundary +issue exists. In particular, buffers that start on odd-8-byte boundary and/or +span multiple PAGE sizes should be tested. + + +SECTION 6: Ports +================ + +Physical and Logical Ports +------------------------------------ + +The switch supports up to 62 physical (front-panel) ports. Register +PORT_PHYS_COUNT returns the actual number of physical ports available: + + PORT_PHYS_COUNT, offset 0x0304, 32-bit, (R) + +In addition to front-panel ports, the switch supports logical ports for +tunnels. + +Front-panel ports and logical tunnel ports are mapped into a single 32-bit port +space. A special CPU port is assigned port 0. The front-panel ports are +mapped to ports 1-62. A special loopback port is assigned port 63. Logical +tunnel ports are assigned ports 0x0001000-0x0001ffff. +To summarize the port assignments: + + port mapping + ------------------------------------------------------- + 0 CPU port (for packets to/from host CPU) + 1-62 front-panel physical ports + 63 loopback port + 64-0x0000ffff RSVD + 0x00010000-0x0001ffff logical tunnel ports + 0x00020000-0xffffffff RSVD + +Physical Port Mode +------------------ + +Switch front-panel ports operate in a mode. Currently, the only mode is +OF-DPA. OF-DPA[1] mode is based on OpenFlow Data Plane Abstraction (OF-DPA) +Abstract Switch Specification, Version 1.0, from Broadcom Corporation. To +set/get the mode for front-panel ports, see port settings, below. + +Port Settings +------------- + +Link status for all front-panel ports is available via PORT_PHYS_LINK_STATUS: + + PORT_PHYS_LINK_STATUS, offset 0x0310, 64-bit, (R) + + Value is port bitmap.

Likewise, host CPU originating packets destined to egress +on switch ports are scheduled by software using the DMA TX ring. + +Tx Packet Processing +-------------------- + +Software schedules packets for egress on switch ports using the DMA TX ring. A +TX descriptor buffer describes the packet location and size in host DMA-able +memory, the destination port, and any hardware-offload functions (such as L3 +payload checksum offload). Software then bumps the descriptor head to signal +hardware of new Tx work. In response, hardware will DMA read Tx descriptors up +to head, DMA read descriptor buffer and packet data, perform offloading +functions, and finally frame packet on wire (network). Once packet processing +is complete, hardware will writeback status to descriptor(s) to signal to +software that Tx is complete and software resources (e.g. skb) backing packet +can be released. + +Figure 2 shows an example 3-fragment packet queued with one Tx descriptor.

Rx descriptor buffers are allocated by software and placed on the +ring. Hardware will fill Rx descriptor buffers with packet data, write the +completion, and signal to software that a new packet is ready. Since Rx packet +size is not known a-priori, the Rx descriptor buffer must be allocated for +worst-case packet size. A single Rx descriptor will contain the entire Rx +packet data in one RX_FRAG. Other Rx TLVs describe and hardware offloads +performed on the packet, such as checksum validation. + +The TLVs for Rx descriptor buffer are: + + field width description + --------------------------------------------------- + PPORT 4 Source physical port # + RX_FLAGS 2 Packet parsing flags: + (1 << 0): IPv4 packet + (1 << 1): IPv6 packet + (1 << 2): csum calculated + (1 << 3): IPv4 csum good + (1 << 4): IP fragment + (1 << 5): TCP packet + (1 << 6): UDP packet + (1 << 7): TCP/UDP csum good + RX_CSUM 2 IP calculated checksum: + IPv4: IP payload csum + IPv6: header and payload csum + (Only valid is RX_FLAGS:csum calc is set) + RX_FRAG_ADDR 8 DMA address of packet fragment + RX_FRAG_MAX_LEN 2 Packet maximum fragment length + RX_FRAG_LEN 2 Actual packet fragment length after receive + +Possible status return codes in descriptor on completion are: + + DESC_COMP_ERR reason + -------------------------------------------------------------------- + 0 OK + -ROCKER_ENXIO address or data read err on desc buf + -ROCKER_ENOMEM no memory for internal staging desc buf + -ROCKER_EMSGSIZE Rx descriptor buffer wasn't big enough to contain + packet data TLV and other TLVs. + + +SECTION 10: OF-DPA Mode +====================== + +OF-DPA mode allows the switch to offload flow packet processing functions to +hardware. An OpenFlow controller would communicate with an OpenFlow agent +installed on the switch. The OpenFlow agent would (directly or indirectly) +communicate with the Rocker switch driver, which in turn would program switch +hardware with flow functionality, as defined in OF-DPA.
