Subject: [PATCH v2 28/31] io-mapping.txt: standardize document format
Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2017 12:25:47 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a4a3782bc53a907e00d1f8a51f03fa4a445e6d88.1497713142.git.mchehab@s-opensource.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <f0f77a106d183325dce9eecd3c11214154050e11.1497713142.git.mchehab@s-opensource.com>
In-Reply-To: <f0f77a106d183325dce9eecd3c11214154050e11.1497713142.git.mchehab@s-opensource.com>
Each text file under Documentation follows a different
format. Some doesn't even have titles!
Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,
using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:
- Add a title for the document and for API chapter;
- mark literal blocks;
- Adjust whitespacing.

+The io_mapping functions
+========================

+API
+===
+
The io_mapping functions in linux/io-mapping.h provide an abstraction for
efficiently mapping small regions of an I/O device to the CPU. The initial
usage is to support the large graphics aperture on 32-bit processors where
ioremap_wc cannot be used to statically map the entire aperture to the CPU
as it would consume too much of the kernel address space.

+A mapping object is created during driver initialization using::
struct io_mapping *io_mapping_create_wc(unsigned long base,
unsigned long size)
- 'base' is the bus address of the region to be made
- mappable, while 'size' indicates how large a mapping region to
- enable. Both are in bytes.

With this mapping object, individual pages can be mapped either atomically
or not, depending on the necessary scheduling environment. Of course, atomic

- 'offset' is the offset within the defined mapping region.
- Accessing addresses beyond the region specified in the

- which is not page aligned yields an undefined result. The
- return value points to a single page in CPU address space.

If you need to sleep while holding the lock, you can use the non-atomic
variant, although they may be significantly slower.
