Detailed Description

DMA (Direct Memory Access) device API.

The DMA framework is built on the following model:

---------------   ---------------       ---------------
| virtual DMA |   | virtual DMA |       | virtual DMA |
| channel     |   | channel     |       | channel     |
---------------   ---------------       ---------------
       |                |                      |
       ------------------                      |
                |                              |
          ------------                    ------------
          |  dmadev  |                    |  dmadev  |
          ------------                    ------------
                |                              |
       ------------------               ------------------
       | HW DMA channel |               | HW DMA channel |
       ------------------               ------------------
                |                              |
                --------------------------------
                                |
                      ---------------------
                      | HW DMA Controller |
                      ---------------------

The DMA controller could have multiple HW-DMA-channels (aka. HW-DMA-queues), each HW-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.

This framework uses 'int16_t dev_id' as the device identifier of a dmadev, and 'uint16_t vchan' as the virtual DMA channel identifier in one dmadev.

The functions exported by the dmadev API to setup a device designated by its device identifier must be invoked in the following order:

Then, the application can invoke dataplane functions to process jobs.

If the application wants to change the configuration (i.e. invoke rte_dma_configure() or rte_dma_vchan_setup()), it must invoke rte_dma_stop() first to stop the device and then do the reconfiguration before invoking rte_dma_start() again. The dataplane functions should not be invoked when the device is stopped.

Finally, an application can close a dmadev by invoking the rte_dma_close() function.

The dataplane APIs include two parts: The first part is the submission of operation requests:

These APIs could work with different virtual DMA channels which have different contexts.

The first three APIs are used to submit the operation request to the virtual DMA channel, if the submission is successful, a positive ring_idx <= UINT16_MAX is returned, otherwise a negative number is returned.

The last API is used to issue doorbell to hardware, and also there are flags (

See also
RTE_DMA_OP_FLAG_SUBMIT) parameter of the first three APIs could do the same work.
Note
When enqueuing a set of jobs to the device, having a separate submit outside a loop makes for clearer code than having a check for the last iteration inside the loop to set a special submit flag. However, for cases where one item alone is to be submitted or there is a small set of jobs to be submitted sequentially, having a submit flag provides a lower-overhead way of doing the submission while still keeping the code clean.

The second part is to obtain the result of requests:

Note
If the dmadev works in silent mode (
See also
RTE_DMA_CAPA_SILENT), application does not invoke the above two completed APIs.

About the ring_idx which enqueue APIs (e.g. rte_dma_copy(), rte_dma_fill()) return, the rules are as follows:

One example:

The DMA operation address used in enqueue APIs (i.e. rte_dma_copy(), rte_dma_copy_sg(), rte_dma_fill()) is defined as rte_iova_t type.

The dmadev supports two types of address: memory address and device address.

About MT-safe, all the functions of the dmadev API implemented by a PMD are lock-free functions which assume to not be invoked in parallel on different logical cores to work on the same target dmadev object.

Note
Different virtual DMA channels on the same dmadev DO NOT support parallel invocation because these virtual DMA channels share the same HW-DMA-channel.

#define RTE_DMA_OP_FLAG_FENCE   RTE_BIT64(0)

Fence flag. It means the operation with this flag must be processed only after all previous operations are completed. If the specify DMA HW works in-order (it means it has default fence between operations), this flag could be NOP.

Definition at line 789 of file rte_dmadev.h.

◆ RTE_DMA_OP_FLAG_SUBMIT

#define RTE_DMA_OP_FLAG_SUBMIT   RTE_BIT64(1)

Submit flag. It means the operation with this flag must issue doorbell to hardware after enqueued jobs.

Definition at line 794 of file rte_dmadev.h.

◆ RTE_DMA_OP_FLAG_LLC

#define RTE_DMA_OP_FLAG_LLC   RTE_BIT64(2)

Write data to low level cache hint. Used for performance optimization, this is just a hint, and there is no capability bit for this, driver should not return error if this flag was set.

◆ rte_dma_submit()

static int rte_dma_submit ( int16_t  dev_id,
uint16_t  vchan 
)
inlinestatic

Trigger hardware to begin performing enqueued operations.

Writes the "doorbell" to the hardware to trigger it to begin the operations previously enqueued by rte_dma_copy/fill().

Parameters
dev_idThe identifier of the device.
vchanThe identifier of virtual DMA channel.
Returns
0 on success. Otherwise negative value is returned.

◆ rte_dma_completed()

static uint16_t rte_dma_completed ( int16_t  dev_id,
uint16_t  vchan,
const uint16_t  nb_cpls,
uint16_t *  last_idx,
bool *  has_error 
)
inlinestatic

Return the number of operations that have been successfully completed. Once an operation has been reported as completed, the results of that operation will be visible to all cores on the system.

Parameters
dev_idThe identifier of the device.
vchanThe identifier of virtual DMA channel.
nb_cplsThe maximum number of completed operations that can be processed.
[out]last_idxThe last completed operation's ring_idx. If not required, NULL can be passed in.
[out]has_errorIndicates if there are transfer error. If not required, NULL can be passed in.
Returns
The number of operations that successfully completed. This return value must be less than or equal to the value of nb_cpls.

◆ rte_dma_completed_status()

static uint16_t rte_dma_completed_status ( int16_t  dev_id,
uint16_t  vchan,
const uint16_t  nb_cpls,
uint16_t *  last_idx,
enum rte_dma_status_code status 
)
inlinestatic

Return the number of operations that have been completed, and the operations result may succeed or fail. Once an operation has been reported as completed successfully, the results of that operation will be visible to all cores on the system.

Parameters
dev_idThe identifier of the device.
vchanThe identifier of virtual DMA channel.
nb_cplsIndicates the size of status array.
[out]last_idxThe last completed operation's ring_idx. If not required, NULL can be passed in.
[out]statusThis is a pointer to an array of length 'nb_cpls' that holds the completion status code of each operation.
See also
enum rte_dma_status_code
Returns
The number of operations that completed. This return value must be less than or equal to the value of nb_cpls. If this number is greater than zero (assuming n), then n values in the status array are also set.
