+ *
+ * The TILE-Gx mPIPE&tm; shim provides Ethernet connectivity, packet
+ * classification, and packet load balancing services. The
+ * gxio_mpipe_ API, declared in <gxio/mpipe.h>, allows applications to
+ * allocate mPIPE IO channels, configure packet distribution
+ * parameters, and send and receive Ethernet packets. The API is
+ * designed to be a minimal wrapper around the mPIPE hardware, making
+ * system calls only where necessary to preserve inter-process
+ * protection guarantees.
+ *
+ * The APIs described below allow the programmer to allocate and
+ * configure mPIPE resources. As described below, the mPIPE is a
+ * single shared hardware device that provides partitionable resources
+ * that are shared between all applications in the system. The
+ * gxio_mpipe_ API allows userspace code to make resource request
+ * calls to the hypervisor, which in turns keeps track of the
+ * resources in use by all applications, maintains protection
+ * guarantees, and resets resources upon application shutdown.
+ *
+ * We strongly recommend reading the mPIPE section of the IO Device
+ * Guide (UG404) before working with this API. Most functions in the
+ * gxio_mpipe_ API are directly analogous to hardware interfaces and
+ * the documentation assumes that the reader understands those
+ * hardware interfaces.
+ *
+ * @section mpipe__ingress mPIPE Ingress Hardware Resources
+ *
+ * The mPIPE ingress hardware provides extensive hardware offload for
+ * tasks like packet header parsing, load balancing, and memory
+ * management. This section provides a brief introduction to the
+ * hardware components and the gxio_mpipe_ calls used to manage them;
+ * see the IO Device Guide for a much more detailed description of the
+ * mPIPE's capabilities.
+ *
+ * When a packet arrives at one of the mPIPE's Ethernet MACs, it is
+ * assigned a channel number indicating which MAC received it. It
+ * then proceeds through the following hardware pipeline:
+ *
+ * @subsection mpipe__classification Classification
+ *
+ * A set of classification processors run header parsing code on each
+ * incoming packet, extracting information including the destination
+ * MAC address, VLAN, Ethernet type, and five-tuple hash. Some of
+ * this information is then used to choose which buffer stack will be
+ * used to hold the packet, and which bucket will be used by the load
+ * balancer to determine which application will receive the packet.
+ *
+ * The rules by which the buffer stack and bucket are chosen can be
+ * configured via the @ref gxio_mpipe_classifier API. A given app can
+ * specify multiple rules, each one specifying a bucket range, and a
+ * set of buffer stacks, to be used for packets matching the rule.
+ * Each rule can optionally specify a restricted set of channels,
+ * VLANs, and/or dMACs, in which it is interested. By default, a
+ * given rule starts out matching all channels associated with the
+ * mPIPE context's set of open links; all VLANs; and all dMACs.
+ * Subsequent restrictions can then be added.
+ *
+ * @subsection mpipe__load_balancing Load Balancing
+ *
+ * The mPIPE load balancer is responsible for choosing the NotifRing
+ * to which the packet will be delivered. This decision is based on
+ * the bucket number indicated by the classification program. In
+ * general, the bucket number is based on some number of low bits of
+ * the packet's flow hash (applications that aren't interested in flow
+ * hashing use a single bucket). Each load balancer bucket keeps a
+ * record of the NotifRing to which packets directed to that bucket
+ * are currently being delivered. Based on the bucket's load
+ * balancing mode (@ref gxio_mpipe_bucket_mode_t), the load balancer
+ * either forwards the packet to the previously assigned NotifRing or
+ * decides to choose a new NotifRing. If a new NotifRing is required,
+ * the load balancer chooses the least loaded ring in the NotifGroup
+ * associated with the bucket.
+ *
+ * The load balancer is a shared resource. Each application needs to
+ * explicitly allocate NotifRings, NotifGroups, and buckets, using
+ * gxio_mpipe_alloc_notif_rings(), gxio_mpipe_alloc_notif_groups(),
+ * and gxio_mpipe_alloc_buckets(). Then the application needs to
+ * configure them using gxio_mpipe_init_notif_ring() and
+ * gxio_mpipe_init_notif_group_and_buckets().
+ *
+ * @subsection mpipe__buffers Buffer Selection and Packet Delivery
+ *
+ * Once the load balancer has chosen the destination NotifRing, the
+ * mPIPE DMA engine pops at least one buffer off of the 'buffer stack'
+ * chosen by the classification program and DMAs the packet data into
+ * that buffer. Each buffer stack provides a hardware-accelerated
+ * stack of data buffers with the same size. If the packet data is
+ * larger than the buffers provided by the chosen buffer stack, the
+ * mPIPE hardware pops off multiple buffers and chains the packet data
+ * through a multi-buffer linked list. Once the packet data is
+ * delivered to the buffer(s), the mPIPE hardware writes the
+ * ::gxio_mpipe_idesc_t metadata object (calculated by the classifier)
+ * into the NotifRing and increments the number of packets delivered
+ * to that ring.
+ *
+ * Applications can push buffers onto a buffer stack by calling
+ * gxio_mpipe_push_buffer() or by egressing a packet with the
+ * ::gxio_mpipe_edesc_t::hwb bit set, indicating that the egressed
+ * buffers should be returned to the stack.
+ *
+ * Applications can allocate and initialize buffer stacks with the
+ * gxio_mpipe_alloc_buffer_stacks() and gxio_mpipe_init_buffer_stack()
+ * APIs.
+ *
+ * The application must also register the memory pages that will hold
+ * packets. This requires calling gxio_mpipe_register_page() for each
+ * memory page that will hold packets allocated by the application for
+ * a given buffer stack. Since each buffer stack is limited to 16
+ * registered pages, it may be necessary to use huge pages, or even
+ * extremely huge pages, to hold all the buffers.
+ *
+ * @subsection mpipe__iqueue NotifRings
+ *
+ * Each NotifRing is a region of shared memory, allocated by the
+ * application, to which the mPIPE delivers packet descriptors
+ * (::gxio_mpipe_idesc_t). The application can allocate them via
+ * gxio_mpipe_alloc_notif_rings(). The application can then either
+ * explicitly initialize them with gxio_mpipe_init_notif_ring() and
+ * then read from them manually, or can make use of the convenience
+ * wrappers provided by @ref gxio_mpipe_wrappers.
+ *
+ * @section mpipe__egress mPIPE Egress Hardware
+ *
+ * Applications use eDMA rings to queue packets for egress. The
+ * application can allocate them via gxio_mpipe_alloc_edma_rings().
+ * The application can then either explicitly initialize them with
+ * gxio_mpipe_init_edma_ring() and then write to them manually, or
+ * can make use of the convenience wrappers provided by
+ * @ref gxio_mpipe_wrappers.
+ *
+ * @section gxio__shortcomings Plans for Future API Revisions
+ *
+ * The API defined here is only an initial version of the mPIPE API.
+ * Future plans include:
+ *
+ * - Higher level wrapper functions to provide common initialization
+ * patterns. This should help users start writing mPIPE programs
+ * without having to learn the details of the hardware.
+ *
+ * - Support for reset and deallocation of resources, including
+ * cleanup upon application shutdown.
+ *
+ * - Support for calling these APIs in the BME.
+ *
+ * - Support for IO interrupts.
+ *
+ * - Clearer definitions of thread safety guarantees.
+ *
+ * @section gxio__mpipe_examples Examples
+ *
+ * See the following mPIPE example programs for more information about
+ * allocating mPIPE resources and using them in real applications:
+ *
+ * - @ref mpipe/ingress/app.c : Receiving packets.
+ *
+ * - @ref mpipe/forward/app.c : Forwarding packets.
+ *
+ * Note that there are several more examples.

+ * stack to contain the packet, usually based on the channel, VLAN,

+ * API described below.
+ *

+ *

+ * shipped as source in "$TILERA_ROOT/src/sys/mpipe/classifier.c",
+ * which serves as its official documentation. It is shipped as a
+ * binary program in "$TILERA_ROOT/tile/boot/classifier", which is
+ * automatically included in bootroms created by "tile-monitor", and
+ * is automatically loaded by the hypervisor at boot time.
+ *
+ * The L2 analysis handles LLC packets, SNAP packets, and "VLAN
+ * wrappers" (keeping the outer VLAN).
+ *
+ * The L3 analysis handles IPv4 and IPv6, dropping packets with bad
+ * IPv4 header checksums, requesting computation of a TCP/UDP checksum
+ * if appropriate, and hashing the dest and src IP addresses, plus the
+ * ports for TCP/UDP packets, into the flow hash. No special analysis
+ * is done for "fragmented" packets or "tunneling" protocols. Thus,
+ * the first fragment of a fragmented TCP/UDP packet is hashed using
+ * src/dest IP address and ports and all subsequent fragments are only
+ * hashed according to src/dest IP address.
+ *
+ * The L3 analysis handles other packets too, hashing the dMAC
+ * smac into a flow hash.
+ *
+ * The channel, VLAN, and dMAC used to pick a "rule" (see the
+ * "rules" APIs below), which in turn is used to pick a buffer stack
+ * (based on the packet size) and a bucket (based on the flow hash).
+ *
+ * To receive traffic matching a particular (channel/VLAN/dMAC
+ * pattern, an application should allocate its own buffer stacks and
+ * load balancer buckets, and map traffic to those stacks and buckets,
+ * as decribed by the "rules" API below.
+ *
+ * Various packet metadata is encoded in the idesc. The flow hash is
+ * four bytes at 0x0C. The VLAN is two bytes at 0x10. The ethtype is
+ * two bytes at 0x12. The l3 start is one byte at 0x14. The l4 start

+ * Ingress Queue Wrapper *
+ ******************************************************************/
+
+/*
+ *
+ * Convenience functions for receiving packets from a NotifRing and
+ * sending packets via an eDMA ring.
+ *
+ * The mpipe ingress and egress hardware uses shared memory packet
+ * descriptors to describe packets that have arrived on ingress or
+ * are destined for egress. These descriptors are stored in shared
+ * memory ring buffers and written or read by hardware as necessary.
+ * The gxio library provides wrapper functions that manage the head and
+ * tail pointers for these rings, allowing the user to easily read or
+ * write packet descriptors.
+ *
+ * The initialization interface for ingress and egress rings is quite
+ * similar. For example, to create an ingress queue, the user passes
+ * a ::gxio_mpipe_iqueue_t state object, a ring number from
+ * gxio_mpipe_alloc_notif_rings(), and the address of memory to hold a
+ * ring buffer to the gxio_mpipe_iqueue_init() function. The function
+ * returns success when the state object has been initialized and the
+ * hardware configured to deliver packets to the specified ring
+ * buffer. Similarly, gxio_mpipe_equeue_init() takes a
+ * ::gxio_mpipe_equeue_t state object, a ring number from
+ * gxio_mpipe_alloc_edma_rings(), and a shared memory buffer.
+ *
+ * @section gxio_mpipe_iqueue Working with Ingress Queues
+ *
+ * Once initialized, the gxio_mpipe_iqueue_t API provides two flows
+ * for getting the ::gxio_mpipe_idesc_t packet descriptor associated
+ * with incoming packets. The simplest is to call
+ * gxio_mpipe_iqueue_get() or gxio_mpipe_iqueue_try_get(). These
+ * functions copy the oldest packet descriptor out of the NotifRing and
+ * into a descriptor provided by the caller. They also immediately
+ * inform the hardware that a descriptor has been processed.
+ *
+ * For applications with stringent performance requirements, higher
+ * efficiency can be achieved by avoiding the packet descriptor copy
+ * and processing multiple descriptors at once. The
+ * gxio_mpipe_iqueue_peek() and gxio_mpipe_iqueue_try_peek() functions
+ * allow such optimizations. These functions provide a pointer to the
+ * next valid ingress descriptor in the NotifRing's shared memory ring
+ * buffer, and a count of how many contiguous descriptors are ready to
+ * be processed. The application can then process any number of those
+ * descriptors in place, calling gxio_mpipe_iqueue_consume() to inform
+ * the hardware after each one has been processed.
+ *
+ * @section gxio_mpipe_equeue Working with Egress Queues
+ *
+ * Similarly, the egress queue API provides a high-performance
+ * interface plus a simple wrapper for use in posting
+ * ::gxio_mpipe_edesc_t egress packet descriptors. The simple
+ * version, gxio_mpipe_equeue_put(), allows the programmer to wait for
+ * an eDMA ring slot to become available and write a single descriptor
+ * into the ring.
+ *
+ * Alternatively, you can reserve slots in the eDMA ring using
+ * gxio_mpipe_equeue_reserve() or gxio_mpipe_equeue_try_reserve(), and
+ * then fill in each slot using gxio_mpipe_equeue_put_at(). This
+ * capability can be used to amortize the cost of reserving slots
+ * across several packets. It also allows gather operations to be
+ * performed on a shared equeue, by ensuring that the edescs for all
+ * the fragments are all contiguous in the eDMA ring.
+ *
+ * The gxio_mpipe_equeue_reserve() and gxio_mpipe_equeue_try_reserve()
+ * functions return a 63-bit "completion slot", which is actually a
+ * sequence number, the low bits of which indicate the ring buffer
+ * index and the high bits the number of times the application has
+ * gone around the egress ring buffer. The extra bits allow an
+ * application to check for egress completion by calling
+ * gxio_mpipe_equeue_is_complete() to see whether a particular 'slot'
+ * number has finished. Given the maximum packet rates of the Gx
+ * processor, the 63-bit slot number will never wrap.
+ *
+ * In practice, most applications use the ::gxio_mpipe_edesc_t::hwb
+ * bit to indicate that the buffers containing egress packet data
+ * should be pushed onto a buffer stack when egress is complete. Such
+ * applications generally do not need to know when an egress operation
+ * completes (since there is no need to free a buffer post-egress),
+ * and thus can use the optimized gxio_mpipe_equeue_reserve_fast() or
+ * gxio_mpipe_equeue_try_reserve_fast() functions, which return a 24
+ * bit "slot", instead of a 63-bit "completion slot".
+ *
+ * Once a slot has been "reserved", it MUST be filled. If the
+ * application reserves a slot and then decides that it does not
+ * actually need it, it can set the ::gxio_mpipe_edesc_t::ns (no send)
+ * bit on the descriptor passed to gxio_mpipe_equeue_put_at() to
+ * indicate that no data should be sent. This technique can also be
+ * used to drop an incoming packet, instead of forwarding it, since
+ * any buffer will still be pushed onto the buffer stack when the
+ * egress descriptor is processed.

+
+/*
+ *
+ * Functions for manipulating and sensing the state and configuration
+ * of physical network links.
+ *
+ * @section gxio_mpipe_link_perm Link Permissions
+ *
+ * Opening a link (with gxio_mpipe_link_open()) requests a set of link
+ * permissions, which control what may be done with the link, and potentially
+ * what permissions may be granted to other processes.
+ *
+ * Data permission allows the process to receive packets from the link by
+ * specifying the link's channel number in mPIPE packet distribution rules,
+ * and to send packets to the link by using the link's channel number as
+ * the target for an eDMA ring.
+ *
+ * Stats permission allows the process to retrieve link attributes (such as
+ * the speeds it is capable of running at, or whether it is currently up), and
+ * to read and write certain statistics-related registers in the link's MAC.
+ *
+ * Control permission allows the process to retrieve and modify link attributes
+ * (so that it may, for example, bring the link up and take it down), and
+ * read and write many registers in the link's MAC and PHY.
+ *
+ * Any permission may be requested as shared, which allows other processes
+ * to also request shared permission, or exclusive, which prevents other
+ * processes from requesting it. In keeping with GXIO's typical usage in
+ * an embedded environment, the defaults for all permissions are shared.
+ *
+ * Permissions are granted on a first-come, first-served basis, so if two
+ * applications request an exclusive permission on the same link, the one
+ * to run first will win. Note, however, that some system components, like
+ * the kernel Ethernet driver, may get an opportunity to open links before
+ * any applications run.
+ *
+ * @section gxio_mpipe_link_names Link Names
+ *
+ * Link names are of the form gbe<em>number</em> (for Gigabit Ethernet),
+ * xgbe<em>number</em> (for 10 Gigabit Ethernet), loop<em>number</em> (for
+ * internal mPIPE loopback), or ilk<em>number</em>/<em>channel</em>
+ * (for Interlaken links); for instance, gbe0, xgbe1, loop3, and
+ * ilk0/12 are all possible link names. The correspondence between
+ * the link name and an mPIPE instance number or mPIPE channel number is
+ * system-dependent; all links will not exist on all systems, and the set
+ * of numbers used for a particular link type may not start at zero and may
+ * not be contiguous. Use gxio_mpipe_link_enumerate() to retrieve the set of
+ * links which exist on a system, and always use gxio_mpipe_link_instance()
+ * to determine which mPIPE controls a particular link.
+ *
+ * Note that in some cases, links may share hardware, such as PHYs, or
+ * internal mPIPE buffers; in these cases, only one of the links may be
+ * opened at a time. This is especially common with xgbe and gbe ports,
+ * since each xgbe port uses 4 SERDES lanes, each of which may also be
+ * configured as one gbe port.
+ *
+ * @section gxio_mpipe_link_states Link States
+ *
+ * The mPIPE link management model revolves around three different states,
+ * which are maintained for each link:
+ *
+ * 1. The <em>current</em> link state: is the link up now, and if so, at
+ * what speed?
+ *
+ * 2. The <em>desired</em> link state: what do we want the link state to be?
+ * The system is always working to make this state the current state;
+ * thus, if the desired state is up, and the link is down, we'll be
+ * constantly trying to bring it up, automatically.
+ *
+ * 3. The <em>possible</em> link state: what speeds are valid for this
+ * particular link? Or, in other words, what are the capabilities of
+ * the link hardware?
+ *
+ * These link states are not, strictly speaking, related to application
+ * state; they may be manipulated at any time, whether or not the link
+ * is currently being used for data transfer. However, for convenience,
+ * gxio_mpipe_link_open() and gxio_mpipe_link_close() (or application exit)
+ * can affect the link state. These implicit link management operations
+ * may be modified or disabled by the use of link open flags.
+ *
+ * From an application, you can use gxio_mpipe_link_get_attr()
+ * and gxio_mpipe_link_set_attr() to manipulate the link states.
+ * gxio_mpipe_link_get_attr() with ::GXIO_MPIPE_LINK_POSSIBLE_STATE
+ * gets you the possible link state. gxio_mpipe_link_get_attr() with
+ * ::GXIO_MPIPE_LINK_CURRENT_STATE gets you the current link state.
+ * Finally, gxio_mpipe_link_set_attr() and gxio_mpipe_link_get_attr()
+ * with ::GXIO_MPIPE_LINK_DESIRED_STATE allow you to modify or retrieve
+ * the desired link state.
+ *
+ * If you want to manage a link from a part of your application which isn't
+ * involved in packet processing, you can use the ::GXIO_MPIPE_LINK_NO_DATA
+ * flags on a gxio_mpipe_link_open() call. This opens the link, but does
+ * not request data permission, so it does not conflict with any exclusive
+ * permissions which may be held by other processes. You can then can use
+ * gxio_mpipe_link_get_attr() and gxio_mpipe_link_set_attr() on this link
+ * object to bring up or take down the link.
+ *
+ * Some links support link state bits which support various loopback
+ * modes. ::GXIO_MPIPE_LINK_LOOP_MAC tests datapaths within the Tile
+ * Processor itself; ::GXIO_MPIPE_LINK_LOOP_PHY tests the datapath between
+ * the Tile Processor and the external physical layer interface chip; and
+ * ::GXIO_MPIPE_LINK_LOOP_EXT tests the entire network datapath with the
+ * aid of an external loopback connector. In addition to enabling hardware
+ * testing, such configuration can be useful for software testing, as well.
+ *
+ * When LOOP_MAC or LOOP_PHY is enabled, packets transmitted on a channel
+ * will be received by that channel, instead of being emitted on the
+ * physical link, and packets received on the physical link will be ignored.
+ * Other than that, all standard GXIO operations work as you might expect.
+ * Note that loopback operation requires that the link be brought up using
+ * one or more of the GXIO_MPIPE_LINK_SPEED_xxx link state bits.
+ *
+ * Those familiar with previous versions of the MDE on TILEPro hardware
+ * will notice significant similarities between the NetIO link management
+ * model and the mPIPE link management model. However, the NetIO model
+ * was developed in stages, and some of its features -- for instance,
+ * the default setting of certain flags -- were shaped by the need to be
+ * compatible with previous versions of NetIO. Since the features provided
+ * by the mPIPE hardware and the mPIPE GXIO library are significantly
+ * different than those provided by NetIO, in some cases, we have made
+ * different choices in the mPIPE link management API. Thus, please read
+ * this documentation carefully before assuming that mPIPE link management
