Yes, I have. The final version is attached below. Perry said he was
going to nroff it, but he apparently hasn't had time yet.

PURPOSE
-------
The purpose of this document is to describe a bus- and machine-independent
DMA mapping interface.
All data structures, function prototypes, and macros will be defined
by the port-specific header <machine/bus.h>. Note that this document
assumes the existence of types already defined by the current "bus.h"
interface.
Unless otherwise noted, all function calls in this interface may be
defined as CPP macros.
DATA TYPES
----------
Individual implementations may name these structures whatever they
wish, providing that the external representations are:
bus_dma_tag_t A machine-dependent opaque type
describing the implementation of
DMA for a given bus.
bus_dma_segment_t A structure with at least the following
members:
bus_addr_t ds_addr;
bus_size_t ds_len;
The structure may have machine-dependent
members and arbitrary layout. The values
in "ds_addr" and "ds_len" are suitable for
programming into DMA controller address
and length registers.
bus_dmamap_t A pointer to a structure with at least the
following members:
bus_dma_segment_t *dm_segs;
int dm_nsegs;
The structure may have machine-dependent
members and arbitrary layout. The "dm_segs"
member may be an array of segments or
a pointer to an array of segments. The
"dm_nsegs" member indicates the number
of segments in "dm_segs". A value of 0
indicates the mapping is invalid.
bus_dmasync_op_t An enumerated type providing the following
unique values:
BUS_DMASYNC_PREREAD
BUS_DMASYNC_POSTREAD
BUS_DMASYNC_PREWRITE
BUS_DMASYNC_POSTWRITE
See bus_dmamap_sync() for more details.
FUNCTIONS
---------
int bus_dmamap_create __P((bus_dma_tag_t tag, bus_size_t size,
int nsegments, bus_size_t maxsegsz, bus_size_t boundary,
int flags, bus_dmamap_t *dmamp));
bus_dmamap_create() allocates a dma handle and initializes
it according to the paramters provided. Arguments are
as follows:
tag This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the
parent driver via <bus>_attach_args.
size This is the maximum DMA transfer that can
be mapped by the handle.
nsegments Number of segments the device can support
in a single DMA transaction. This may
be the number of scatter-gather descriptors
supported by the device.
maxsegsz The maximum number of bytes that may be
transfered by any given DMA segment.
boundary Some DMA controllers are not able to transfer
data that crosses a particular boundary. This
argument allows this boundary to be specified.
The boundary lines begin at 0, and occur every
"boundary" bytes. Mappings may begin on a
boundary line but may not end on or cross a
boundary line. If no boundary condition needs
to be observed, an "boundary" arguement of 0
should be used.
flags Flags are defined as follows:
BUS_DMA_WAITOK It is safe to wait (sleep)
for resouces during this call.
BUS_DMA_NOWAIT It is not safe to wait (sleep)
for resources during this call.
BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW Perform any resource allocation
this handle may need now.
If this is not specified, the
allocation may be deferred to
bus_dmamap_load(). If this flag
is specified, bus_dmamap_load()
will not block on resource
allocation.
BUS_DMA_BUS[1-4] These flags are placeholders,
and may be used by busses to
provide bus-dependent functionality.
dmamp This is a pointer to a bus_dmamap_t.
A dma map will be allocated and pointed to by
*dmamp upon sucessful completion of this routine.
Behavior is not defined if invalid arguments are passed to
bus_dmamap_create().
RETURN VALUES
Returns 0 on success or an error code to indicate mode of failure.
void bus_dmamap_destroy __P((bus_dma_tag_t tag, bus_dmamap_t dmam));
bus_dmamap_destroy() frees all resources associated with a
given dma handle. Arguments are as follows:
tag This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the
parent driver via <bus>_attach_args.
dmam The dma handle to destroy.
In the event that the dma handle contains a valid mapping,
the mapping will be unloaded via the same mechanism used
by bus_dmamap_unload().
Behavior is not defined if invalid arguments are passed
to bus_dmamap_destroy().
RETURN VALUES
If given valid arguments, bus_dmamap_destroy() always suceeds.
int bus_dmamap_load __P((bus_dma_tag_t tag, bus_dmamap_t dmam,
void *buf, bus_size_t buflen, struct proc *p, int flags));
bus_dmamap_load() loads a dma handle with mappings for a
DMA transfer. bus_dmamap_load() assumes that all pages
involved in a DMA transfer are wired.
Arguments are as follows:
tag This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the
parent driver via <bus>_attach_args.
dmam The dma handle with which to map the
transfer.
buf The buffer to be used for the DMA transfer.
buflen The size of the buffer.
p Used to indicate the address space in which
the buffer is located. If NULL, the buffer is
assumed to be in kernel space. Otherwise, the
buffer is assumed to be in process "p"'s address
space.
flags Flags are defined as follows:
BUS_DMA_WAITOK It is safe to wait (sleep)
for resources during this call.
BUS_DMA_NOWAIT It is not safe to wait (sleep)
for resources during this call.
BUS_DMA_BUS[1-4] These flags are placeholders,
and may be used by busses to
provide bus-dependent functionality.
As noted above, if a dma handle is created with
BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW, bus_dmamap_load() will never block.
If a call to bus_dmamap_load() fails, the mapping in
the dma handle will be invalid. It is the responsibility
of the caller to clean up any inconsistent device state
resulting from incomplete iteration through the uio.
Behavior is not defined if invalid arguments are passed to
bus_dmamap_load().
RETURN VALUES
Returns 0 on success or an error code to indicate mode of failure.
int bus_dmamap_load_mbuf __P((bus_dma_tag_t tag, bus_dmamap_t dmam,
struct mbuf *chain, int flags));
This is a variation of bus_dmamap_load() which maps mbuf chains
for DMA transfers. mbuf chains are assumed to be in kernel
virtual address space.
int bus_dmamap_load_uio __P((bus_dma_tag_t tag, bus_dmamap_t dmam,
struct uio *uio, int flags));
This is a variation of bus_dmamap_load() which maps buffers
pointed to be "uio" for DMA transfers. The value of
"uio->uio_segflg" will determine if the buffers are in user
or kernel virtual address space. If the buffers are in user
address space, the buffers are assumed to be in "uio->uio_procp"'s
address space.
int bus_dmamap_load_raw __P((bus_dma_tag_t tag, bus_dmamap_t dmam,
bus_dma_segment_t *segs, int nsegs, bus_size_t size,
int flags));
This is a variation of bus_dmamap_load() which maps buffers
allocated by bus_dmamem_alloc() (see below). The "segs"
argument is an array of bus_dma_segment_t's filled in
by bus_dmamem_alloc(). The "nsegs" arguement is the
number of segments in the array. The "size" argument
is the size of the DMA transfer.
void bus_dmamap_unload __P((bus_dma_tag_t tag, bus_dmamap_t dmam));
bus_dmamap_unload() deletes the mappings for a given
dma handle. Arguments are as follows:
tag This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the
parent driver via <bus>_attach_args.
dmam The dma handle containing the mappings
which are to be deleted.
If the dma handle was created with BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW,
bus_dmamap_unload() will not free the corresponding
resources which were allocated by bus_dmamap_create().
This is to ensure that bus_dmamap_load() will never block
on resources if the handle was created with BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW.
Behavior is not defined if invalid arguments are passed to
bus_dmamap_unload().
RETURN VALUES
If given valid arguments, bus_dmamap_unload() always suceeds.
void bus_dmamap_sync __P((bus_dma_tag_t tag, bus_dmamap_t dmam,
bus_dmasync_op_t op));
bus_dmamap_sync() performs pre- and post-DMA operation
cache and/or buffer synchronization. Arguments are as follows:
tag This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the
parent driver via <bus>_attach_args.
dmam The DMA mapping to be synchronized.
op The synchronization operation to perform.
The following DMA synchronization operations are defined:
BUS_DMASYNC_PREREAD Perform any pre-read DMA cache
and/or bounce operations.
BUS_DMASYNC_POSTREAD Perform any post-read DMA cache
and/or bounce operations.
BUS_DMASYNC_PREWRITE Perform any pre-write DMA cache
and/or bounce operations.
BUS_DMASYNC_POSTWRITE Perform any post-write DMA cache
and/or bounce operations.
This function exists so that multiple read and write transfers
can be performed with the same buffer, and so that drivers can
explicitly inform the bus DMA code when their data is 'ready'
in its DMA buffer.
An example of multiple read-write use of a single mapping
might look like:
bus_dmamap_load(...);
while (not done) {
/* invalidate soon-to-be-stale cache blocks */
bus_dmamap_sync(..., BUS_DMASYNC_PREREAD);
[ do read DMA ]
/* copy from bounce */
bus_dmamap_sync(..., BUS_DMASYNC_POSTREAD);
/* read data now in driver-provided buffer */
[ computation ]
/* data to be written now in driver-provided buffer */
/* flush write buffers and writeback, copy to bounce */
bus_dmamap_sync(..., BUS_DMASYNC_PREWRITE);
[ do write DMA ]
/* probably a no-op, but provided for consistency */
bus_dmamap_sync(..., BUS_DMASYNC_POSTWRITE);
}
bus_dmamap_unload(...);
If DMA read and write operations are not preceeded and followed
by the apropriate synchronization operations, behavior is
undefined.
Behavior is not defined if invalid arguments are passed to
bus_dmamap_sync().
RETURN VALUES
If given valid arguments, bus_dmamap_sync() always succeeds.
int bus_dmamem_alloc __P((bus_dma_tag_t tag, bus_size_t size,
bus_size_t alignment, bus_size_t boundary,
bus_dma_segment_t *segs, int nsegs, int *rsegs, int flags));
bus_dmamem_alloc() allocates memory that is "DMA safe"
for the bus corresponding to the given tag. The mapping
of this memory is machine-dependent (or "opaque"); machine-
independent code is not to assume that the addresses returned
are valid in kernel virtual address space, or that the addresses
returned are system physical addresses.
Allocations will always be rounded to the hardware page size.
Callers may wish to take advantage of this, and cluster allocation
of small data structures.
Arguments are as follows:
tag The is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the
parent driver via <bus>_attach_args.
size The amount of memory to allocate.
alignment Each segment in the allocated memory will be
aligned to this value. If the alignment is
less than a hardware page size, it will be
rounded up to the hardware page size. This
value must be a power of two.
boundary Each segment in the allocated memory must not
cross this boundary (relative to zero). This
value must be a power of two. A boundary value
less than the size of the allocation is invalid.
segs An array of bus_dma_segment_t's, filled in
as memory is allocated, representing the
opaque addresses of the memory chunks.
nsegs Specifies the number of segments in "segs", and
this the maximum number of segments that the
allocated memory may map to.
rsegs Used to return the actual number of segments
the memory is composed of.
flags Flags are defined as follows:
BUS_DMA_WAITOK It is safe to wait (sleep)
for resources during this call.
BUS_DMA_NOWAIT It is not safe to wait (sleep)
for resources during this call.
BUS_DMA_BUS[1-4] These flags are placeholders,
and may be used by busses to
provide bus-dependent functionality.
All pages allocated by bus_dmamem_alloc() will be wired down
until they are freed by bus_dmamem_free().
Behavior is undefined if invalid arguments are passed to
bus_dmamem_alloc().
RETURN VALUES
Returns 0 on success or an error code indicating mode of
failure.
void bus_dmamem_free __P((bus_dma_tag_t tag, bus_dma_segment_t *segs,
int nsegs));
bus_dmamem_free() and frees memory previously allocated
by bus_dmamem_alloc(). Any mappings will be invalidated.
Arguements are as follows:
tag This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the
parent driver via <bus>_attach_args.
segs The array of bus_dma_segment_t's filled in
by bus_dmamem_alloc().
nsegs The number of segments in "segs".
Behavior is undefined if invalid arguments are passed to
bus_dmamem_free().
RETURN VALUES
If given valid arguments, bus_dmamem_free() always succeeds.
int bus_dmamem_map __P((bus_dma_tag_t tag, bus_dma_segment_t *segs,
int nsegs, size_t size, caddr_t *kvap, flags));
bus_dmamem_map() maps memory allocated with bus_dmamem_alloc()
into kernel virtual address space. Arguements are as follows:
tag This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the
parent driver via <bus>_attach_args.
segs The array of bus_dma_segment_t's filled in
by bus_dmamem_alloc(), representing the
memory regions to map.
nsegs The number of segments in "segs".
size The size of the mapping.
kvap Filled in to specifiy the kernel virtual address
where the memory is mapped.
flags Flags are defined as follows:
BUS_DMA_WAITOK It is safe to wait (sleep)
for resources during this call.
BUS_DMA_NOWAIT It is not safe to wait (sleep)
for resources during this call.
BUS_DMA_BUS[1-4] These flags are placeholders,
and may be used by busses to
provide bus-dependent functionality.
BUS_DMAMEM_NOSYNC Map the memory in such a way that
synchronization of the map
with bus_dmamap_sync() will not
be required. This is especially
useful in the case of descriptor
blocks which are occasionally
read/written by the device and
host as a means of command/status
communications, for which map
synchronization would be unecessarily
expensive. This flag should be
used with care.
Behavior is undefined if invalid arguements are passed to
bus_dmamem_map().
RETURN VALUES
Returns 0 on success or an error code indicating mode of
failure.
void bus_dmamem_unmap __P((bus_dma_tag_t tag, caddr_t kva,
size_t size));
bus_dmamem_unmap() unmaps memory previously mapped with
bus_dmamem_map(), freeing the kernel virtual address
space used by the mapping. The arguments are as follows:
tag This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the
parent driver via <bus>_attach_args.
kva The kernel virtual address of the mapped
memory.
size The size of the mapping.
Behavior is undefined if invalid arguements are passed to
bus_dmamem_unmap().
RETURN VALUES
If given valid arguments, bus_dmamem_unmap() always succeeds.
int bus_dmamem_mmap __P((bus_dma_tag_t tag, bus_dma_segment_t *segs,
int nsegs, int off, int prot, int flags));
bus_dmamem_mmap() provides support for user mmap(2)'ing of
DMA-safe memory. This function is to be called by a device
driver's (*d_mmap)() entry point, which is called by the
device pager for each page to be mapped. The arguements are
as follows:
tag This is the bus_dma_tag_t passed down from the
parent driver via <bus>_attach_args.
segs The array of bus_dma_segment_t's filled in
by bus_dmamem_alloc(), representing the
memory to me mmap(2)'ed.
nsegs The number of elements in the "segs" array.
off The offset of the page in DMA memory which
is to be mapped.
prot The protection codes for the mapping.
flags Flags are defined as follows:
BUS_DMA_WAITOK It is safe to wait (sleep)
for resources during this call.
BUS_DMA_NOWAIT It is not safe to wait (sleep)
for resources during this call.
BUS_DMA_BUS[1-4] These flags are placeholders,
and may be used by busses to
provide bus-dependent functionality.
BUS_DMAMEM_NOSYNC Map the memory in such a way that
synchronization of the map
with bus_dmamap_sync() will not
be required. This is especially
useful in the case of descriptor
blocks which are occasionally
read/written by the device and
host as a means of command/status
communications, for which map
synchronization would be unecessarily
expensive. This flag should be
used with care.
Behavior is undefined if invalid arguments are passed
to bus_dmamem_mmap().
RETURN VALUES
Returns -1 to indicate failure. Otherwise, returns an opaque
value to be interpreted by the device pager.
