^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 5) Introduction
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 6) ============
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 7)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 8) The IBM Power architecture provides support for CAPI (Coherent
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 9) Accelerator Power Interface), which is available to certain PCIe slots
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 10) on Power 8 systems. CAPI can be thought of as a special tunneling
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 11) protocol through PCIe that allow PCIe adapters to look like special
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 12) purpose co-processors which can read or write an application's
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 13) memory and generate page faults. As a result, the host interface to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 14) an adapter running in CAPI mode does not require the data buffers to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 15) be mapped to the device's memory (IOMMU bypass) nor does it require
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 16) memory to be pinned.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 17)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 18) On Linux, Coherent Accelerator (CXL) kernel services present CAPI
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 19) devices as a PCI device by implementing a virtual PCI host bridge.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 20) This abstraction simplifies the infrastructure and programming
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 21) model, allowing for drivers to look similar to other native PCI
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 22) device drivers.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 23)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 24) CXL provides a mechanism by which user space applications can
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 25) directly talk to a device (network or storage) bypassing the typical
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 26) kernel/device driver stack. The CXL Flash Adapter Driver enables a
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 27) user space application direct access to Flash storage.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 28)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 29) The CXL Flash Adapter Driver is a kernel module that sits in the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 30) SCSI stack as a low level device driver (below the SCSI disk and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 31) protocol drivers) for the IBM CXL Flash Adapter. This driver is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 32) responsible for the initialization of the adapter, setting up the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 33) special path for user space access, and performing error recovery. It
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 34) communicates directly the Flash Accelerator Functional Unit (AFU)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 35) as described in Documentation/powerpc/cxl.rst.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 36)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 37) The cxlflash driver supports two, mutually exclusive, modes of
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 38) operation at the device (LUN) level:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 39)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 40) - Any flash device (LUN) can be configured to be accessed as a
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 41) regular disk device (i.e.: /dev/sdc). This is the default mode.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 42)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 43) - Any flash device (LUN) can be configured to be accessed from
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 44) user space with a special block library. This mode further
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 45) specifies the means of accessing the device and provides for
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 46) either raw access to the entire LUN (referred to as direct
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 47) or physical LUN access) or access to a kernel/AFU-mediated
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 48) partition of the LUN (referred to as virtual LUN access). The
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 49) segmentation of a disk device into virtual LUNs is assisted
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 50) by special translation services provided by the Flash AFU.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 52) Overview
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 53) ========
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 54)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 55) The Coherent Accelerator Interface Architecture (CAIA) introduces a
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 56) concept of a master context. A master typically has special privileges
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 57) granted to it by the kernel or hypervisor allowing it to perform AFU
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 58) wide management and control. The master may or may not be involved
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 59) directly in each user I/O, but at the minimum is involved in the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 60) initial setup before the user application is allowed to send requests
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 61) directly to the AFU.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 62)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 63) The CXL Flash Adapter Driver establishes a master context with the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 64) AFU. It uses memory mapped I/O (MMIO) for this control and setup. The
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 65) Adapter Problem Space Memory Map looks like this::

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 80) This driver configures itself into the SCSI software stack as an
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 81) adapter driver. The driver is the only entity that is considered a
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 82) Trusted Process to program the Provisioning and Control and Global
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 83) areas in the MMIO Space shown above. The master context driver
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 84) discovers all LUNs attached to the CXL Flash adapter and instantiates
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 85) scsi block devices (/dev/sdb, /dev/sdc etc.) for each unique LUN
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 86) seen from each path.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 87)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 88) Once these scsi block devices are instantiated, an application
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 89) written to a specification provided by the block library may get
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 90) access to the Flash from user space (without requiring a system call).
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 91)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 92) This master context driver also provides a series of ioctls for this
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 93) block library to enable this user space access. The driver supports
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 94) two modes for accessing the block device.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 95)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 96) The first mode is called a virtual mode. In this mode a single scsi
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 97) block device (/dev/sdb) may be carved up into any number of distinct
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 98) virtual LUNs. The virtual LUNs may be resized as long as the sum of
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 99) the sizes of all the virtual LUNs, along with the meta-data associated
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 100) with it does not exceed the physical capacity.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 101)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 102) The second mode is called the physical mode. In this mode a single
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 103) block device (/dev/sdb) may be opened directly by the block library
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 104) and the entire space for the LUN is available to the application.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 105)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 106) Only the physical mode provides persistence of the data. i.e. The
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 107) data written to the block device will survive application exit and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 108) restart and also reboot. The virtual LUNs do not persist (i.e. do
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 109) not survive after the application terminates or the system reboots).

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 115) Applications intending to get access to the CXL Flash from user
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 116) space should use the block library, as it abstracts the details of
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 117) interfacing directly with the cxlflash driver that are necessary for
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 118) performing administrative actions (i.e.: setup, tear down, resize).
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 119) The block library can be thought of as a 'user' of services,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 120) implemented as IOCTLs, that are provided by the cxlflash driver
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 121) specifically for devices (LUNs) operating in user space access
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 122) mode. While it is not a requirement that applications understand
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 123) the interface between the block library and the cxlflash driver,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 124) a high-level overview of each supported service (IOCTL) is provided

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 133)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 134) Users, such as the block library, that wish to interface with a flash
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 135) device (LUN) via user space access need to use the services provided
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 136) by the cxlflash driver. As these services are implemented as ioctls,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 137) a file descriptor handle must first be obtained in order to establish
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 138) the communication channel between a user and the kernel. This file
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 139) descriptor is obtained by opening the device special file associated
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 140) with the scsi disk device (/dev/sdb) that was created during LUN
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 141) discovery. As per the location of the cxlflash driver within the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 142) SCSI protocol stack, this open is actually not seen by the cxlflash
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 143) driver. Upon successful open, the user receives a file descriptor
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 144) (herein referred to as fd1) that should be used for issuing the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 145) subsequent ioctls listed below.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 153) This ioctl obtains, initializes, and starts a context using the CXL
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 154) kernel services. These services specify a context id (u16) by which
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 155) to uniquely identify the context and its allocated resources. The
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 156) services additionally provide a second file descriptor (herein

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 158) memory mapped I/O (via mmap()) to the CXL flash device and poll for
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 159) completion events. This file descriptor is intentionally installed by
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 160) this driver and not the CXL kernel services to allow for intermediary
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 161) notification and access in the event of a non-user-initiated close(),
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 162) such as a killed process. This design point is described in further
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 163) detail in the description for the DK_CXLFLASH_DETACH ioctl.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 165) There are a few important aspects regarding the "tokens" (context id
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 166) and fd2) that are provided back to the user:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 167)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 168) - These tokens are only valid for the process under which they
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 169) were created. The child of a forked process cannot continue
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 170) to use the context id or file descriptor created by its parent
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 171) (see DK_CXLFLASH_VLUN_CLONE for further details).
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 172)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 173) - These tokens are only valid for the lifetime of the context and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 174) the process under which they were created. Once either is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 175) destroyed, the tokens are to be considered stale and subsequent
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 176) usage will result in errors.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 177)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 178) - A valid adapter file descriptor (fd2 >= 0) is only returned on
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 179) the initial attach for a context. Subsequent attaches to an
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 180) existing context (DK_CXLFLASH_ATTACH_REUSE_CONTEXT flag present)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 181) do not provide the adapter file descriptor as it was previously
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 182) made known to the application.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 183)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 184) - When a context is no longer needed, the user shall detach from
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 185) the context via the DK_CXLFLASH_DETACH ioctl. When this ioctl
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 186) returns with a valid adapter file descriptor and the return flag
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 187) DK_CXLFLASH_APP_CLOSE_ADAP_FD is present, the application _must_
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 188) close the adapter file descriptor following a successful detach.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 189)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 190) - When this ioctl returns with a valid fd2 and the return flag
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 191) DK_CXLFLASH_APP_CLOSE_ADAP_FD is present, the application _must_
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 192) close fd2 in the following circumstances:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 193)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 194) + Following a successful detach of the last user of the context

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 198)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 199) - At any time, a close on fd2 will invalidate the tokens. Applications
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 200) should exercise caution to only close fd2 when appropriate (outlined
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 201) in the previous bullet) to avoid premature loss of I/O.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 202)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 203) DK_CXLFLASH_USER_DIRECT
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 204) -----------------------
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 205) This ioctl is responsible for transitioning the LUN to direct
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 206) (physical) mode access and configuring the AFU for direct access from
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 207) user space on a per-context basis. Additionally, the block size and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 208) last logical block address (LBA) are returned to the user.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 209)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 210) As mentioned previously, when operating in user space access mode,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 211) LUNs may be accessed in whole or in part. Only one mode is allowed
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 212) at a time and if one mode is active (outstanding references exist),
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 213) requests to use the LUN in a different mode are denied.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 214)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 215) The AFU is configured for direct access from user space by adding an
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 216) entry to the AFU's resource handle table. The index of the entry is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 217) treated as a resource handle that is returned to the user. The user
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 218) is then able to use the handle to reference the LUN during I/O.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 219)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 220) DK_CXLFLASH_USER_VIRTUAL
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 221) ------------------------
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 222) This ioctl is responsible for transitioning the LUN to virtual mode
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 223) of access and configuring the AFU for virtual access from user space
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 224) on a per-context basis. Additionally, the block size and last logical
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 225) block address (LBA) are returned to the user.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 226)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 227) As mentioned previously, when operating in user space access mode,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 228) LUNs may be accessed in whole or in part. Only one mode is allowed
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 229) at a time and if one mode is active (outstanding references exist),
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 230) requests to use the LUN in a different mode are denied.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 231)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 232) The AFU is configured for virtual access from user space by adding
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 233) an entry to the AFU's resource handle table. The index of the entry
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 234) is treated as a resource handle that is returned to the user. The
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 235) user is then able to use the handle to reference the LUN during I/O.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 236)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 237) By default, the virtual LUN is created with a size of 0. The user
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 238) would need to use the DK_CXLFLASH_VLUN_RESIZE ioctl to adjust the grow
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 239) the virtual LUN to a desired size. To avoid having to perform this
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 240) resize for the initial creation of the virtual LUN, the user has the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 241) option of specifying a size as part of the DK_CXLFLASH_USER_VIRTUAL
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 242) ioctl, such that when success is returned to the user, the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 243) resource handle that is provided is already referencing provisioned
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 244) storage. This is reflected by the last LBA being a non-zero value.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 245)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 246) When a LUN is accessible from more than one port, this ioctl will
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 247) return with the DK_CXLFLASH_ALL_PORTS_ACTIVE return flag set. This
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 248) provides the user with a hint that I/O can be retried in the event
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 249) of an I/O error as the LUN can be reached over multiple paths.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 253) This ioctl is responsible for resizing a previously created virtual
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 254) LUN and will fail if invoked upon a LUN that is not in virtual
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 255) mode. Upon success, an updated last LBA is returned to the user
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 256) indicating the new size of the virtual LUN associated with the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 257) resource handle.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 258)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 259) The partitioning of virtual LUNs is jointly mediated by the cxlflash
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 260) driver and the AFU. An allocation table is kept for each LUN that is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 261) operating in the virtual mode and used to program a LUN translation
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 262) table that the AFU references when provided with a resource handle.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 263)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 264) This ioctl can return -EAGAIN if an AFU sync operation takes too long.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 265) In addition to returning a failure to user, cxlflash will also schedule
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 266) an asynchronous AFU reset. Should the user choose to retry the operation,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 267) it is expected to succeed. If this ioctl fails with -EAGAIN, the user
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 268) can either retry the operation or treat it as a failure.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 272) This ioctl is responsible for releasing a previously obtained
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 273) reference to either a physical or virtual LUN. This can be
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 274) thought of as the inverse of the DK_CXLFLASH_USER_DIRECT or
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 275) DK_CXLFLASH_USER_VIRTUAL ioctls. Upon success, the resource handle
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 276) is no longer valid and the entry in the resource handle table is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 277) made available to be used again.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 279) As part of the release process for virtual LUNs, the virtual LUN
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 280) is first resized to 0 to clear out and free the translation tables
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 281) associated with the virtual LUN reference.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 285) This ioctl is responsible for unregistering a context with the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 286) cxlflash driver and release outstanding resources that were
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 287) not explicitly released via the DK_CXLFLASH_RELEASE ioctl. Upon
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 288) success, all "tokens" which had been provided to the user from the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 289) DK_CXLFLASH_ATTACH onward are no longer valid.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 291) When the DK_CXLFLASH_APP_CLOSE_ADAP_FD flag was returned on a successful
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 292) attach, the application _must_ close the fd2 associated with the context
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 293) following the detach of the final user of the context.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 297) This ioctl is responsible for cloning a previously created
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 298) context to a more recently created context. It exists solely to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 299) support maintaining user space access to storage after a process
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 300) forks. Upon success, the child process (which invoked the ioctl)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 301) will have access to the same LUNs via the same resource handle(s)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 302) as the parent, but under a different context.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 303)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 304) Context sharing across processes is not supported with CXL and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 305) therefore each fork must be met with establishing a new context
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 306) for the child process. This ioctl simplifies the state management
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 307) and playback required by a user in such a scenario. When a process
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 308) forks, child process can clone the parents context by first creating
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 309) a context (via DK_CXLFLASH_ATTACH) and then using this ioctl to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 310) perform the clone from the parent to the child.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 311)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 312) The clone itself is fairly simple. The resource handle and lun
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 313) translation tables are copied from the parent context to the child's
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 314) and then synced with the AFU.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 315)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 316) When the DK_CXLFLASH_APP_CLOSE_ADAP_FD flag was returned on a successful
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 317) attach, the application _must_ close the fd2 associated with the source
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 318) context (still resident/accessible in the parent process) following the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 319) clone. This is to avoid a stale entry in the file descriptor table of the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 320) child process.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 322) This ioctl can return -EAGAIN if an AFU sync operation takes too long.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 323) In addition to returning a failure to user, cxlflash will also schedule
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 324) an asynchronous AFU reset. Should the user choose to retry the operation,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 325) it is expected to succeed. If this ioctl fails with -EAGAIN, the user
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 326) can either retry the operation or treat it as a failure.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 330) This ioctl is used to detect various changes such as the capacity of
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 331) the disk changing, the number of LUNs visible changing, etc. In cases
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 332) where the changes affect the application (such as a LUN resize), the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 333) cxlflash driver will report the changed state to the application.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 335) The user calls in when they want to validate that a LUN hasn't been
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 336) changed in response to a check condition. As the user is operating out
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 337) of band from the kernel, they will see these types of events without
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 338) the kernel's knowledge. When encountered, the user's architected
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 339) behavior is to call in to this ioctl, indicating what they want to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 340) verify and passing along any appropriate information. For now, only
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 341) verifying a LUN change (ie: size different) with sense data is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 342) supported.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 347) of a specified user context. Any state associated with the user context
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 348) is re-established upon successful recovery.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 350) User contexts are put into an error condition when the device needs to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 351) be reset or is terminating. Users are notified of this error condition
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 352) by seeing all 0xF's on an MMIO read. Upon encountering this, the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 353) architected behavior for a user is to call into this ioctl to recover
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 354) their context. A user may also call into this ioctl at any time to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 355) check if the device is operating normally. If a failure is returned
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 356) from this ioctl, the user is expected to gracefully clean up their
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 357) context via release/detach ioctls. Until they do, the context they
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 358) hold is not relinquished. The user may also optionally exit the process
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 359) at which time the context/resources they held will be freed as part of

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 379) Each host adapter instance that is supported by the cxlflash driver
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 380) has a special character device associated with it to enable a set of

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 392) This ioctl is used to create and delete persistent LUNs on cxlflash
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 393) devices that lack an external LUN management interface. It is only
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 394) valid when used with AFUs that support the LUN provision capability.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 395)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 396) When sufficient space is available, LUNs can be created by specifying
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 397) the target port to host the LUN and a desired size in 4K blocks. Upon
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 398) success, the LUN ID and WWID of the created LUN will be returned and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 399) the SCSI bus can be scanned to detect the change in LUN topology. Note
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 400) that partial allocations are not supported. Should a creation fail due
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 401) to a space issue, the target port can be queried for its current LUN
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 402) geometry.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 403)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 404) To remove a LUN, the device must first be disassociated from the Linux
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 405) SCSI subsystem. The LUN deletion can then be initiated by specifying a
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 406) target port and LUN ID. Upon success, the LUN geometry associated with
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 407) the port will be updated to reflect new number of provisioned LUNs and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 408) available capacity.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 409)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 410) To query the LUN geometry of a port, the target port is specified and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 411) upon success, the following information is presented:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 412)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 413) - Maximum number of provisioned LUNs allowed for the port

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 427) With exception of buffer management, AFU debug commands are opaque to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 428) cxlflash and treated as pass-through. For debug commands that do require
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 429) data transfer, the user supplies an adequately sized data buffer and must
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 430) specify the data transfer direction with respect to the host. There is a
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 431) maximum transfer size of 256K imposed. Note that partial read completions
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 432) are not supported - when errors are experienced with a host read data
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 433) transfer, the data buffer is not copied back to the user.
