+ + DMA Window Manipulation Calls + + DMA windows for a PE can be changed by the OS when the platform + implements the Dynamic DMA Windows (DDW) option for a PE. The occurrence + of the + “ibm,ddw-applicable” property in any node + of the OF Device Tree indicates that the platform implements the DDW + option, but that property is required to be in the bridge above a PE in + order for the DDW RTAS call to be applicable for the PE. That is, DDW may + be applicable to some PEs in a platform and not for others. + The platform may implement the DDW RTAS calls even when the OS does + not support these, because they are not required to be used by the OS, + because there is always a default window initially allocated below 4 GB, + as specified by the + “ibm,dma-window” property. During + partition migration, these RTAS calls may come and go, but so will the + “ibm,ddw-applicable” property as the + nodes in which those are supported come or go. + The following is an example of how an OS may grab all DMA window + resources allocated for a PE: + + + + If the default window (as specified by the + “ibm,dma-window” property for the PE) is + not needed, then call + ibm,remove-pe-dma-window for the PE, specifying the + default window LIOBN, to make the maximum resources available for the + ibm,create-pe-dma-window RTAS call. + + + + Call + ibm,query-pe-dma-window for the PE to get the + Windows Available and + PE TCEs available for the PE.

This + requires either additional TCEs being available or that I/O page sizes + other than 4 KB are available and the PE can use the largest I/O page + size (the default window using only the 4 KB I/O page size). If not, then + removing the default window would only allow re-allocation of the same + size window at a different bus address (that is, same number of TCEs and + same I/O page size). However, it may be possible for this to happen, in + which case the platform may indicate that DDW is available to a PE, but + removal of the default window will only allow creation of the same size + window.

+ <emphasis>ibm,update-nodes</emphasis> RTAS Call + + This RTAS call is used to determine which device tree nodes have + changed due to a massive platform reconfiguration such as when the + partition is migrated between machines. Differing platform + reconfigurations are expected to potentially result in different sets of + nodes being updated; the “scope” argument communicates what + set of changes are to be reported. The work area is a 4 KB naturally + aligned area of storage below the first 4 GB; as such, it may not be + large enough to contain the reports of all changed nodes. The status + value of 1 is used to inform the caller that there are more updates to + report and that it will have to call the + ibm,update-nodes RTAS again to receive them. On + subsequent calls the state variable, which is set to zero on the first + call, is set to the value returned on the previous call, to supply RTAS + with the information it needs to continue from where the previous call + ended. + Upon return, the work area contains, in addition to the state + variable, zero or more operation lists, and logically ends with a + terminator (4 byte word naturally aligned containing 0x00000000). An + operation list consists of an operator (4 bytes naturally aligned) and + zero or more (up to a the maximum number of 4 byte locations remaining in + the work area) operands, each 4 bytes long. An operator consists of a + single byte opcode followed by 3 bytes encoded with the binary value of + the number of operands that follow.

+ <emphasis>ibm,update-properties</emphasis> RTAS Call + + This RTAS call is used to report updates to the properties changed + due to a massive platform reconfiguration such as when the partition is + migrated between machines. This RTAS call reports changes in the node + specified by the phandle value in the work area passed using the Work + Area Address argument. The phandle value may be that of a critical node + that the caller is interested in or one reported by + ibm,update-nodes RTAS call. These changes may include + any combination of new values, deleted and added properties. Updates for + a given node are retained until the platform is subsequently + reconfigured, and remain available to subsequent calls to + ibm,update-nodes. + There may be more changes than can be reported in a single 4 K work + area. In this case, the RTAS call returns with a status of 1 “More + properties updated -- call again”. On the first call, the second + word of the work area contains the value 0 specifying that the RTAS call + is to start with the first changed property for the specified updated + node. On a call with a status value of 1, the first sixteen (16) bytes of + the work area contain values that, when subsequently supplied in the work + area of another call to + ibm,update-properties RTAS, specify that the call + returns the updated property data for properties after those reported in + the previous call. + A single updated property value string may exceed the capacity of a + single 4 K work area.

- <emphasis>ibm,update-nodes</emphasis> RTAS Call - - This RTAS call is used to determine which device tree nodes have - changed due to a massive platform reconfiguration such as when the - partition is migrated between machines. Differing platform - reconfigurations are expected to potentially result in different sets of - nodes being updated; the “scope” argument communicates what - set of changes are to be reported. The work area is a 4 KB naturally - aligned area of storage below the first 4 GB; as such, it may not be - large enough to contain the reports of all changed nodes. The status - value of 1 is used to inform the caller that there are more updates to - report and that it will have to call the - ibm,update-nodes RTAS again to receive them. On - subsequent calls the state variable, which is set to zero on the first - call, is set to the value returned on the previous call, to supply RTAS - with the information it needs to continue from where the previous call - ended. - Upon return, the work area contains, in addition to the state - variable, zero or more operation lists, and logically ends with a - terminator (4 byte word naturally aligned containing 0x00000000). An - operation list consists of an operator (4 bytes naturally aligned) and - zero or more (up to a the maximum number of 4 byte locations remaining in - the work area) operands, each 4 bytes long. An operator consists of a - single byte opcode followed by 3 bytes encoded with the binary value of - the number of operands that follow. An operator with an operand length - field of zero performs no operation, and the opcode of zero is reserved - for the terminator -- thus the terminator can be considered a special - encoding of a no-op operator. - - - - The opcode of 0x01 is used for deleted nodes -- the operands are - the - phandle values for the deleted nodes. - - - - The opcode of 0x02 is used for updated nodes -- the operands are - the - phandle values for the updated nodes. The updated - properties are obtained using the - ibm,update-properties RTAS call. - - - - The opcode of 0x03 is used for adding nodes -- the operands are - pairs of - phandle and - drc-index values; the - phandle value denotes the parent node of the node to - be added and the - ibm,drc-index value is passed with the - ibm,configure-connector RTAS call to obtain the - contents of the added node. - - - - To make processing of device tree updates simpler, all opcode 0x01 - (delete) operations (if any) are presented prior to all opcode 0x02 - (update) operations (if any), and finally any 0x03 (addition) operations - are presented.

- <emphasis>ibm,update-properties</emphasis> RTAS Call - - This RTAS call is used to report updates to the properties changed - due to a massive platform reconfiguration such as when the partition is - migrated between machines. This RTAS call reports changes in the node - specified by the phandle value in the work area passed using the Work - Area Address argument. The phandle value may be that of a critical node - that the caller is interested in or one reported by - ibm,update-nodes RTAS call. These changes may include - any combination of new values, deleted and added properties. Updates for - a given node are retained until the platform is subsequently - reconfigured, and remain available to subsequent calls to - ibm,update-nodes. - There may be more changes than can be reported in a single 4 K work - area. In this case, the RTAS call returns with a status of 1 “More - properties updated -- call again”. On the first call, the second - word of the work area contains the value 0 specifying that the RTAS call - is to start with the first changed property for the specified updated - node. On a call with a status value of 1, the first sixteen (16) bytes of - the work area contain values that, when subsequently supplied in the work - area of another call to - ibm,update-properties RTAS, specify that the call - returns the updated property data for properties after those reported in - the previous call. - A single updated property value string may exceed the capacity of a - single 4 K work area. In that case, the updated property value descriptor - for the property appears in the work area of multiple sequential calls to - ibm,update-properties RTAS. When the updated property - value descriptor contains the final data for the property value, the - property string length field of the updated property value descriptor is - a positive number. When the updated property value descriptor contains - either the initial or interim data for the property value, the updated - property string length field is a negative number denoting the twos - complement of the length of the updated property string contained in the - work area. The data value strings for a given property name are - concatenated until the final updated property value descriptor is - processed. - The first value returned, with an updated property name string of - NULL, is always the node’s name (for example: full path || - name property value || @ unit address) even if there - has been no change. - - - - R1--1. - - For the Update OF Tree option: The platform must - implement the - ibm,update-properties RTAS call using the argument - call buffer defined by - . - - - Argument Call Buffer - <emphasis>ibm,update-properties</emphasis> - - - - - - - - - Parameter Type - - - - - Name - - - - - Values - - - - - - - - In - - - - Token - - - - Token for - ibm,update-properties - - - - - - Number Inputs - - - - 2 - - - - - - Number Outputs - - - - 1 - - - - - - Work Area Address - - - - 32 bit real address of work area - - - - - - Scope - - - - Values per - . - - - - - Out - - - - Status - - - - -1: Hardware Error - -2: Busy - -3: Parameter Error (Purpose does not match the current - partition state) - 0: Success - 1: More properties updated -- call again - - - - -

- DMA Window Manipulation Calls - - DMA windows for a PE can be changed by the OS when the platform - implements the Dynamic DMA Windows (DDW) option for a PE. The occurrence - of the - “ibm,ddw-applicable” property in any node - of the OF Device Tree indicates that the platform implements the DDW - option, but that property is required to be in the bridge above a PE in - order for the DDW RTAS call to be applicable for the PE. That is, DDW may - be applicable to some PEs in a platform and not for others. - The platform may implement the DDW RTAS calls even when the OS does - not support these, because they are not required to be used by the OS, - because there is always a default window initially allocated below 4 GB, - as specified by the - “ibm,dma-window” property. During - partition migration, these RTAS calls may come and go, but so will the - “ibm,ddw-applicable” property as the - nodes in which those are supported come or go. - The following is an example of how an OS may grab all DMA window - resources allocated for a PE: - - - - If the default window (as specified by the - “ibm,dma-window” property for the PE) is - not needed, then call - ibm,remove-pe-dma-window for the PE, specifying the - default window LIOBN, to make the maximum resources available for the - ibm,create-pe-dma-window RTAS call. - - - - Call - ibm,query-pe-dma-window for the PE to get the - Windows Available and - PE TCEs available for the PE. If the - Windows Available field indicates 1 or more and the - PE TCEs field is non-zero, then continue. - - - - Call ibm,create-pe-dma-window for the PE, specifying the - size based on the - PE TCEs field obtained from the - ibm,query-pe-dma-window RTAS call in step - and on the I/O page size being - specified. - - - - If the Windows Available field indicated 2 or more in step - , then go back to step - and repeat, otherwise - finished. - - - - Software Implementation Note: The general expectation - is that if the - “ibm,ddw-applicable” property exists for - a PE, that the OS will be able to generate one or more windows whose - total size is larger than what is available via the default window. This - requires either additional TCEs being available or that I/O page sizes - other than 4 KB are available and the PE can use the largest I/O page - size (the default window using only the 4 KB I/O page size). If not, then - removing the default window would only allow re-allocation of the same - size window at a different bus address (that is, same number of TCEs and - same I/O page size). However, it may be possible for this to happen, in - which case the platform may indicate that DDW is available to a PE, but - removal of the default window will only allow creation of the same size - window. An example is when a larger I/O page size is available but only - the TCEs in the default window are available, and the PE cannot make use - of the larger page size. - - - - R1--1. - - For the Dynamic DMA Windows (DDW) option: The - platform must implement all of the following RTAS calls: - ibm,query-dma-window, - ibm,create-dma-window, and - ibm,remove-dma-window. - - - - - R1--2. - - For the Dynamic DMA Windows (DDW) option: The - platform must provide the - “ibm,ddw-applicable” property in the OF - Device Tree in the bridge above each PE for which the DDW option is - supported. - - - - - R1--3. - - For the Dynamic DMA Windows (DDW) option: The - software must not call the - ibm,query-dma-window, - ibm,create-dma-window, or - ibm,remove-dma-window RTAS calls in the absence of - the - “ibm,ddw-applicable” property for the PE, - otherwise the call returns a - Status of -3 (Parameter error), and when the property - does exist, software must use the token values specified in the - “ibm,ddw-applicable” property for these - RTAS calls. - - - - - R1--4. - - For the Dynamic DMA Windows (DDW) option: The - platform must provide a default DMA window for each PE, and all of the - following must be true: - - - - The window is defined by the - “ibm,dma-window” property in the OF - device tree. - - - - The window is defined with 4 KB I/O pages. - - - - The window is located entirely below 4 GB. - - - - - - - R1--5. - - For the Dynamic DMA Windows (DDW) option: - The platform must remove any DMA windows created by the - ibm,create-pe-dma-window RTAS call for a PE and must - restore the default DMA window (if it was removed) for the PE, as - originally defined by the - “ibm,dma-window” properties for the PE, - in each of the following cases: - - - - On a reboot of the partition - - - - On a DR isolate operation that encompasses the PE - - - - - - - R1--6. - - For the Dynamic DMA Windows (DDW) option: - In Requirement - , the platform must provide the - same LIOBN, location, and size as specified in the - “ibm,dma-window” property in the OF - Device Tree for the device. - - - - -
