Message-ID <[email protected]>
Define the BAR-resident metadata format used by endpoint functions that
expose an endpoint-integrated DMA controller to the host.

A VSEC-based discovery scheme would be a natural fit, and existing
dw-edma-pcie providers such as Synopsys EDDA and AMD (Xilinx) MDB/CPM6
already use VSECs for DMA discovery. However, some endpoint controllers
cannot provide enough writable configuration-space storage for a
complete, controller-defined payload. Keep the extensible metadata in a
BAR instead, where the endpoint function controls the layout and size.

The format describes the DMA register window, exported channel counts,
descriptor windows, optional auxiliary windows, endpoint-local descriptor
and auxiliary DMA addresses, and a ready bit that tells the host when the
described BAR windows are usable. Channel entries keep the auxiliary
window optional so layouts that need a separate data or auxiliary aperture
can describe it without a format bump.

+ * BAR metadata format used by PCI endpoint functions that expose an
+ * endpoint-integrated DMA controller to a PCI host.
+ *
+ * Offsets are relative to the beginning of the metadata blob. Multi-byte
+ * fields are little-endian. The blob is normally placed at offset 0 of a
+ * function BAR selected by the endpoint function and discovered by the host
+ * driver using device-specific policy. Other data in the same BAR, such as a
+ * standard MSI-X table or PBA, is outside this metadata format.

+ *          metadata magic: PCI_EP_DMA_METADATA_MAGIC.

+ *                           in the BAR allocation that contains the metadata.
+ *          revision: metadata format revision.
+ *          R: ready bit. Set only by the endpoint after all fields and BAR
+ *             windows described by this metadata have been programmed and can
+ *             be used by the host. The host must not consume the windows
+ *             before observing this bit.
+ *          H: host-request bit. Set only by the host driver after it has found
+ *             this metadata. The endpoint may use this as the trigger to
+ *             program DMA window BAR subrange mappings, and may clear it while
+ *             revoking R during teardown or reinitialization.
+ *          ch entry size: byte stride between consecutive channel table
+ *                         entries. Revision 1 requires at least
+ *                         PCI_EP_DMA_METADATA_CH_ENTRY_SIZE bytes.
+ *          RD count: number of exposed RC-to-endpoint DMA read channels and
+ *                    read channel-table entries.
+ *          WR count: number of exposed endpoint-to-RC DMA write channels and
+ *                    write channel-table entries.
+ *          BAR: BAR that contains the DMA controller register window.
+ *          register window offset: BAR-local byte offset of the DMA controller
+ *                                  register window in BAR.
+ *          register window size: DMA controller register window size in bytes.
+ *          layout: DMA controller register layout identifier.
+ *          layout data: layout-specific data. For
+ *                       PCI_EP_DMA_METADATA_REG_LAYOUT_DW_EDMA this is the
+ *                       DesignWare eDMA/HDMA map format.
+ *          write table: starts at PCI_EP_DMA_METADATA_HDR_LEN if write channel
+ *                       count is non-zero.

+ *                      table size if read channel count is non-zero.
