For pkts copied to the CPU (to be processed by guest driver), mark the Rx descriptor with flag "OFFLOAD_FWD" to indicate device has already forwarded pkt. The guest driver will use this indicator to avoid duplicate forwarding in the guest OS. Examples include bcast/mcast/unknown ucast pkts flooded to bridged ports. We want to avoid both the device and the guest bridge driver flooding these pkts, which would result in duplicates pkts on the wire. Packet sampling, such as sFlow, can also use this technique to mark pkts for the guest OS to record but otherwise drop.

SECTION 2: PCI Configuration Registers
|
||
======================================
|
||
|
||
PCI Configuration Space
|
||
-----------------------
|
||
|
||
Each switch instance registers as a PCI device with PCI configuration space:

|
||
|
||
SECTION 3: Memory-Mapped Register Space
|
||
=======================================
|
||
|
||
There are two memory-mapped BARs. 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. Writes do nothing. Reads
|
||
back as 0xDEADBABE.
|
||
0x0010-0x00ff Test registers
|
||
0x0300-0x03ff General purpose registers
|
||
0x1000-0x1fff Descriptor control
|
||
|
||
Holes in register space are reserved. Writes to reserved registers do nothing.
|
||
Reads to reserved registers read back as 0.
|
||
|
||
No fancy stuff like write-combining is enabled on any of the registers.
|
||
|
||
BAR1 MSI-X register space is organized as follows:
|
||
|
||
offset description
|
||
------------------------------------------------------
|
||
0x0000-0x0fff MSI-X vector table (256 vectors total)
|
||
0x1000-0x1fff MSI-X PBA table
|
||
|
||
|
||
SECTION 4: Interrupts, DMA, and Endianness
|
||
==========================================
|
||
|
||
PCI Interrupts
|
||
--------------
|
||
|
||
The device supports only MSI-X interrupts. BAR1 memory-mapped region contains
|
||
the MSI-X vector and PBA tables, with support for up to 256 MSI-X vectors.
|
||
|
||
The vector assignment is:
|
||
|
||

|
||
1 Event descriptor ring completion
|
||
2 Test operation completion
|
||
3 RSVD
|
||
4-255 Tx and Rx descriptor ring completion
|
||
Tx vector is even
|
||
Rx vector is odd
|
||
|
||
A MSI-X vector table entry is 16 bytes:
|
||
|
||

|
||
-------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
lower_addr 0x0 4 [31:2] message address[31:2]
|
||

|
||

|
||
upper_addr 0x4 4 [31:19] Rsvd
|
||

|
||

|
||
control 0xc 4 [31:1] Rsvd
|
||
[0] mask (0 = enable,
|
||
1 = masked)
|
||
|
||
Software should install the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) before any ports
|
||
are enabled or any commands are issued on the command ring.
|
||
|
||
DMA Operations
|
||
--------------
|
||
|
||
DMA operations are used for packet DMA to/from the CPU, command and event
|
||
processing. 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:
|
||
|
||

|
||
--------------------
|
||
0 CMD
|
||
1 EVENT
|
||

|
||
3 RX (port 0)
|
||
4 TX (port 1)

|
||
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.

|
||
|
||
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. Must be <=
|
||
DMA_DESC_BUF_SIZE.
|
||
DMA_DESC_COMP_ERR 2 Completion status of associated
|
||
desc payload. 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. Note that the payload for each TLV is also
|
||
8 byte aligned.
|
||
|
||
Figure 1 shows an example descriptor buffer with two TLVs.

|
||
|
||
Interrupt credits
|
||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
||
MSI-X vectors used for descriptor ring completions use a credit mechanism for
|
||
efficient device, PCIe bus, OS and driver operations. 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
|
||

|
||
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. Bits 0 and 63 always read 0. Bits 1-62
|
||
read 1 for link UP and 0 for link DOWN for respective front-panel ports.
|
||
|
||
Other properties for front-panel ports are available via DMA CMD descriptors:

MODE 1 0 = OF-DPA
|
||
|
||
Port Enable
|
||
-----------
|
||
|
||
Front-panel ports are initially disabled, which means port ingress and egress
|
||
packets will be dropped. To enable or disable a port, use PORT_PHYS_ENABLE:
|
||
|
||
PORT_PHYS_ENABLE: offset 0x0318, 64-bit, (R/W)
|
||
|
||
Value is bitmap of first 64 ports. Bits 0 and 63 are ignored
|
||
and always read as 0. Write 1 to enable port; write 0 to disable it.
|
||
Default is 0.
|
||
|
||
|
||
SECTION 7: Switch Control
|
||
=========================
|
||
|
||
This section covers switch-wide register settings.
|
||
|
||
Control
|
||
-------
|
||
|
||
This register is used for low level control of the switch.

|
||
|
||
Switch ID
|
||
---------
|
||
|
||
The switch has a SWITCH_ID to be used by software to uniquely identify the
|
||
switch:
|
||
|
||
SWITCH_ID: offset 0x0320, 64-bit, (R)
|
||
|
||
Value is opaque to switch software and no special encoding is implied.
|
||
|
||
|
||
SECTION 8: Events
|
||
=================
|
||
|
||
Non-I/O asynchronous events from the device are notified to the host using the
|
||
event ring. The TLV structure for events is:
|
||
|
||

MAC VLAN Seen Event
|

-------------------
|
||
|
||
When a packet ingresses on a port and the source MAC/VLAN isn't known to the
|
||
device, the device will generate this event. In response to the event, the
|
||
driver should install to the device the MAC/VLAN on the port into the bridge
|
||
table. Once installed, the MAC/VLAN is known on the port and this event will
|
||
no longer be generated.

SECTION 9: CPU Packet Processing
|
||
================================
|
||
|
||
Ingress packets directed to the host CPU for further processing are delivered
|
||
in the DMA RX ring. 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. A
|
||
TLV is used for each packet fragment.

Rx Packet Processing
|
||
--------------------
|
||
|
||
For packets ingressing on switch ports that are not forwarded by the switch but
|
||
rather directed to the host CPU for further processing are delivered in the DMA
|
||
RX ring. 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.

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. The block diagram is:
|
||
|
||

To participate in flow functions, ports must be configure for OF-DPA mode
|
||
during switch initialization.

|
||
|
||
