[PATCH v4 02/18] fpga: mgr: API change to replace fpga load functions with single function

From: Alan Tull
Date: Wed Sep 13 2017 - 16:49:00 EST


fpga-mgr has three methods for programming FPGAs, depending on
whether the image is in a scatter gather list, a contiguous
buffer, or a firmware file. This makes it difficult to write
upper layers as the caller has to assume whether the FPGA image
is in a sg table, as a single buffer, or a firmware file.
This commit moves these parameters to struct fpga_image_info
and adds a single function for programming fpgas.

New functions:
* fpga_mgr_load - given fpga manager and struct fpga_image_info,
program the fpga.

* fpga_image_info_alloc - alloc a struct fpga_image_info.

* fpga_image_info_free - free a struct fpga_image_info.

These three functions are unexported:
* fpga_mgr_buf_load_sg
* fpga_mgr_buf_load
* fpga_mgr_firmware_load

Also use devm_kstrdup to copy firmware_name so we aren't making
assumptions about where it comes from when allocing/freeing the
struct fpga_image_info.

API documentation has been updated and a new document for
FPGA region has been added.

The FPGA image data itself is very manufacturer specific, but for our purposes
it's just binary data. The FPGA manager core won't parse it.

+The FPGA image to be programmed can be in a scatter gather list, a single

+gather list instead if possible.

+The particulars for programming the image are presented in a structure (struct

+FPGA Regions

+
+CONTENTS
+ - Introduction
+ - The FPGA region API
+ - Usage example
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This document is meant to be an brief overview of the FPGA region API usage. A
+more conceptual look at regions can be found in [1].
+
+For the purposes of this API document, let's just say that a region associates
+an FPGA Manager and a bridge (or bridges) with a reprogrammable region of an
+FPGA or the whole FPGA. The API provides a way to register a region and to
+program a region.
+
+Currently the only layer above fpga-region.c in the kernel is the Device Tree
+support (of-fpga-region.c) described in [1]. The DT support layer uses regions
+to program the FPGA and then DT to handle enumeration. The common region code
+is intended to be used by other schemes that have other ways of accomplishing
+enumeration after programming.
+
+An fpga-region can be set up to know the following things:
+* which FPGA manager to use to do the programming
+* which bridges to disable before programming and enable afterwards.
+
+Additional info needed to program the FPGA image is passed in the struct
+fpga_image_info [2] including:
+* pointers to the image as either a scatter-gather buffer, a contiguous
+ buffer, or the name of firmware file
+* flags indicating specifics such as whether the image if for partial
+ reconfiguration.
+
+===================
+The FPGA region API
+===================
+
+To register or unregister a region:
+-----------------------------------
+
+ int fpga_region_register(struct device *dev,
+ struct fpga_region *region);
+ int fpga_region_unregister(struct fpga_region *region);
+
+An example of usage can be seen in the probe function of [3]
+
+To program an FPGA:
+-------------------
+ int fpga_region_program_fpga(struct fpga_region *region);
+
+This function operates on info passed in the fpga_image_info
+(region->info).
+
+This function will attempt to:
+ * lock the region's mutex
+ * lock the region's FPGA manager
+ * build a list of FPGA bridges if a method has been specified to do so
+ * disable the bridges
+ * program the FPGA
+ * re-enable the bridges
+ * release the locks
+
+=============
+Usage example
+=============
+
+First, allocate the info struct:
+
+ info = fpga_image_info_alloc(dev);
+ if (!info)
+ return -ENOMEM;
+
+Set flags as needed, i.e.
+
+ info->flags |= FPGA_MGR_PARTIAL_RECONFIG;
+
+Point to your FPGA image, such as:
+
+ info->sgt = &sgt;
+
+Add info to region and do the programming:
+
+ region->info = info;
+ ret = fpga_region_program_fpga(region);
+
+Then enumerate whatever hardware has appeared in the FPGA.

+Linux kernel FPGA support
+
+Alan Tull 2017
+
+The main point of this project has been to separate the out the upper layers
+that know when to reprogram a FPGA from the lower layers that know how to
+reprogram a specific FPGA device. The intention is to make this manufacturer
+agnostic, understanding that of course the FPGA images are very device specific
+themselves.
+
+The framework in the kernel includes:
+* low level FPGA manager drivers that know how to program a specific device
+* the fpga-mgr framework they are registered with
+* low level FPGA bridge drivers for hard/soft bridges which are intended to
+ be disable during FPGA programming
+* the fpga-bridge framework they are registered with
+* the fpga-region framework which associates and controls managers and bridges
+ as reconfigurable regions
+* the of-fpga-region support for reprogramming FPGAs when device tree overlays
+ are applied.
+
+I would encourage you the user to add code that creates FPGA regions rather
+that trying to control managers and bridges separately.
