Subject: [PATCH v5 0/2] UIO support for dfl devices

This patchset supports some dfl device drivers written in userspace.

In the patchset v1, the "driver_override" interface should be used to bind
the DFL UIO driver to DFL devices. But there is concern that the
"driver_override" interface is not OK itself.

In v2, we use a new matching algorithem. The "driver_override" interface
is abandoned, the DFL UIO driver matches any DFL device which could not be
handled by other DFL drivers. So the DFL UIO driver could be used for new
DFL devices which are not supported by kernel. The concern is the UIO may
not be suitable as a default/generic driver for all dfl features, such as
features with multiple interrupts.

In v4, we specify each matching device in the id_table of the UIO driver,
just the same as other dfl drivers do. Now the UIO driver supports Ether
Group feature. To support more DFL features, their feature ids should be
added to the driver's id_table.


Main changes from v1:
- switch to the new matching algorithem. It matches DFL devices which could
not be handled by other DFL drivers.
- refacor the code about device resources filling.
- add the documentation.

Main changes from v2:
- split the match ops changes in dfl.c to an independent patch.
- move the declarations needed for dfl-uio-pdev from include/linux/dfl.h
to driver/fpga/dfl.h
- some minor fixes.

Main changes from v3:
- switch to specifying each matching device in the driver's id_table.
- refactor the irq handling code.

Main changes from v4:
- refactor the irq handling code.

Subject: [PATCH v5 1/2] fpga: dfl: add the userspace I/O device support for DFL devices

This patch supports the DFL drivers be written in userspace. This is
realized by exposing the userspace I/O device interfaces.

The driver leverages the uio_pdrv_genirq, it adds the uio_pdrv_genirq
platform device with the DFL device's resources, and let the generic UIO
platform device driver provide support to userspace access to kernel
interrupts and memory locations.

The driver now supports the ether group feature. To support a new DFL
feature been directly accessed via UIO, its feature id should be added to
the driver's id_table.

+UIO support for DFL devices
+===========================
+The purpose of an FPGA is to be reprogrammed with newly developed hardware
+components. New hardware can instantiate a new private feature in the DFL, and
+then get a DFL device in their system. In some cases users may need a userspace
+driver for the DFL device:
+
+* Users may need to run some diagnostic test for their hardwares.
+* Users may prototype the kernel driver in user space.
+* Some hardware is designed for specific purposes and does not fit into one of
+ the standard kernel subsystems.
+
+This requires the direct access to the MMIO space and interrupt handling in
+userspace. The dfl-uio-pdev module exposes the UIO device interfaces for this
+purpose. It adds the uio_pdrv_genirq platform device with the resources of
+the DFL feature, and lets the generic UIO platform device driver provide UIO
+support to userspace.
+
+FPGA_DFL_UIO_PDEV should be selected to enable the dfl-uio-pdev module driver.
+To support a new DFL feature been directly accessed via UIO, its feature id
+should be added to the driver's id_table.

Looks like res[] needs to be zeroed for other fields not used here.
other places look good to me.

I think the main purpose is to support userspace driver for DFL devices, and
UIO is the option for now. Do you think if the title could be userspace driver
support for DFL devices?

I think this is what you want, yes. Instead of doing a driver override
or such, add devices that should always be bound to UIO to a device id
table. For those you temporarily want to bind, make sure you can unbind
them and use 'new_id' or 'bind' in sysfs, similar to what sysfs does.

I'm not sure if this is more readable than:

uio_pdev = platform_device_register_full(&pdevinfo);
if (IS_ERR(uio_pdev))
return PTR_ERR(uio_pdev);

dev_set_drvdata(dev, uio_pdev);
return 0;

No strong preference, though ... :)

Will you want to always bind FME_FEATURE_ID_ETH_GROUP? If not I'd suggest not
to add it here.

If you want to provide an option to somewhat non-ABI fixed bind things
you could look at what vfio-pci does (provide a module parameter),
otherwise use sysfs 'new_id' or 'bind'.

Does that sound reasonable?

I think your version is more readable, I'll change it.

Actually this is not the most preferable to me. I'm always looking for a
generic way to bind the uio driver to user assigned dfl devices. But there
is concern that userspace should not be responsible for the device driver
matching in previous mail thread:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fpga/[email protected]/

But TBH I still didn't figure out why driver_override is not OK in this
case.

I would like to have a "new_id" for dfl bus driver. It is not generic to
all drivers, I need to add the attr for dfl drivers like pci do.

My concern is how the module param or "new_id" is different from
"driver_override", seems userspace is also taking part in the device
matching.

But since we've restarted the discussion, I'm very much willing to have
a try on the "new_id".

"new_id" is not generic to all bus drivers, we need to add the attr in
dfl bus driver like pci do, actually I think quite similar to
"driver_override", How do you think?

I'm glad we restarted the discussion for the temporary binding of UIO
driver.

I don't believe there is any problem with the basic platform uio driver.

Can we split it out and work the new_id change in parallel ?

Yes. The Ether Group is always bind to the uio driver for Intel PAC
N3000. So this patch works properly now. We could have a separate patch
for the new_id.

Sounds good, can you resend your series with the other changes
discussed?
