Hi,
Some endpoint platforms cannot use a GIC ITS-backed MSI domain for
EP-side doorbells. In those cases, endpoint function (EPF) drivers
cannot provide a doorbell to the root complex (RC), and features such as
vNTB may fall back to polling with significantly higher latency.
This series adds an alternate doorbell backend based on the PCIe
endpoint controller (EPC)'s integrated eDMA interrupt-emulation feature.
The RC rings the doorbell by doing a single 32-bit MMIO write to an eDMA
doorbell location exposed in a BAR window. The EP side receives a Linux
IRQ that EPF drivers can use as a doorbell interrupt, without relying on
MSI message writes reaching the ITS.
The DesignWare eDMA interrupt-emulation doorbell is wired up as one user
of the generic EPC aux-resource API. Other vendors can support their
MMIO-based doorbells by implementing the EPC aux-resource callbacks:
pci_epc_ops.count_aux_resources() / pci_epc_ops.get_aux_resources().
Dependencies
============
(1). [PATCH 0/2] dmaengine: dw-edma: Interrupt-emulation doorbell support
https://lore.kernel.org/dmaengine/20260215152216.3393561-1-den@valinux.co.jp/
Note: already landed in dmaengine/next.
Tested on
=========
v12 re-tested on:
(1). R-Car S4 Spider: EP <-> RC
(2). RK3588 Rock 5B (EP) <-> CIX CD8180 Orion O6 (RC)
The EP in both scenarios prints the following in dmesg when running
DOORBELL_TEST:
pci_epf_test pci_epf_test.0: Can't find MSI domain for EPC
pci_epf_test pci_epf_test.0: Using embedded (DMA) doorbell fallback
With this series applied, the DOORBELL_TEST succeeds:
$ ./pci_endpoint_test -t DOORBELL_TEST
TAP version 13
1..1
# Starting 1 tests from 1 test cases.
# RUN pcie_ep_doorbell.DOORBELL_TEST ...
# OK pcie_ep_doorbell.DOORBELL_TEST
ok 1 pcie_ep_doorbell.DOORBELL_TEST
# PASSED: 1 / 1 tests passed.
# Totals: pass:1 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
IOMMU coverage tested:
On R-Car S4 Spider EP, DOORBELL_TEST passes with the EP IOMMU both
enabled and disabled.
On Rock 5B EP, DOORBELL_TEST passes with the EP IOMMU disabled. The
enabled case is not applicable, as the EP IOMMU is explicitly disabled
upstream on this platform.
Performance test: vNTB ping latency
===================================
(*) Re-tested with v12 only to confirm that no regression was introduced
in v11->v12. No performance difference is expected.
Prerequisite:
To test on 2x R-Car S4 Spider boards, the following two commits are
needed:
- 13f55a7ca773 ("PCI: dwc: rcar-gen4: Change EPC BAR alignment to 4K as
per the documentation")
- f761e0deb4d9 ("PCI: dwc: rcar-gen4: Mark BAR0 and BAR2 as Resizable
BARs in endpoint mode")
Note: these already landed in pci/controller/dwc-rcar-gen4-ep.
Setup:
- configfs (R-Car S4 Spider in EP mode):
cd /sys/kernel/config/pci_ep/
mkdir functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1
echo 0x1912 > functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/vendorid

Changelog
---------
* v11->v12 changes:
- Rebased onto the current pci/endpoint:
185596ad93f5 ("PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-vntb: Implement .get_dma_dev()")
- Split the EPC auxiliary-resource API into
pci_epc_count_aux_resources() and pci_epc_get_aux_resources(), both
returning 0 on success.
- Added the corresponding count/get callbacks in pci_epc_ops and in the
DesignWare EPC provider.
- Updated the embedded doorbell fallback to use the new count/get
helpers.
- Stopped warning on duplicate DOORBELL_MMIO resources for now; use the
first matching resource and add a TODO for future multi-resource
support.
* v10->v11 changes:
- Rebased onto the current pci/endpoint:
e022f0c72c7f ("selftests: pci_endpoint: Skip reserved BARs")
- Dropped PCI_EPC_AUX_DMA_CTRL_MMIO and PCI_EPC_AUX_DMA_CHAN_DESC from
this series; they will be added later together with their first real
consumer.
- Picked up tags from Frank and Niklas for patches 5/6/7.
- Dropped tags for patches 1 and 3 due to code changes.
- Revised the commit message of Patch 2 to better explain the purpose.
* v9->v10 changes:
- Patch 7/7: report the dma_map_resource() DMA address instead of the
raw physical address, so EPF drivers do not need to perform any
additional IOMMU mapping and the semantics match the MSI doorbell
case.
- Rebased onto the latest pci/endpoint, and updated dependency references.
- Re-ran functional tests and vNTB ping-latency measurements, and added
Rock 5B (EP) <-> Orion O6 (RC) to the test matrix.
* v8->v9 changes:
- Add a new dependency series (3), which moved the BAR reserved-subregion
framework + the RK3588 BAR4 example out of v8 (dropping the corresponding
patches from this series).
- pci-epf-vntb: rename the duplicate-IRQ helper and invert the return value,
per Frank's review.
- pci-epf-test: drop the extra size_add() doorbell-offset check, per Niklas'
review.
- pci-ep-msi: add a DWORD alignment check for DOORBELL_MMIO, per Niklas's
review.
- Carry over Reviewed-by tags for unchanged patches + drop Reviewed-by tags
where code changed.
- Rename the last patch subject (drop 'eDMA' word).
* v7->v8 changes:
- Deduplicate request_irq()/free_irq() calls based on virq (shared
IRQ) rather than doorbell type, as suggested during review of v7
Patch #7.
- Clean up the pci_epf_alloc_doorbell() error path, as suggested
during review of v7 Patch #9.
- Use range_end_overflows_t() instead of an open-coded overflow check,
following discussion during review of v7 Patch #5.
- Add a write-data field to the DOORBELL_MMIO aux-resource metadata
and plumb it through to the embedded doorbell backend (DesignWare
uses data=0).
* v6->v7 changes:
- Split out preparatory patches to keep the series below 10 patches.
- Add support for platforms where the eDMA register block is fixed
within a reserved BAR window (e.g. RK3588 BAR4) and must be reused
as-is.
- Introduce a dedicated virtual IRQ and irq_chip (using
handle_level_irq) for interrupt-emulation doorbells instead of
reusing per-channel IRQs. This avoids delivery via different IRQs on
platforms with chip->nr_irqs > 1.
* v5->v6 changes:
- Fix a double-free in v5 Patch 8/8 caused by mixing __free(kfree) with
an explicit kfree(). This is a functional bug (detectable by KASAN),
hence the respin solely for this fix. Sorry for the noise. No other
changes.
* v4->v5 changes:
- Change the series subject now that the series has evolved into a
consumer-driven set focused on the embedded doorbell fallback and its
in-tree users (epf-test and epf-vntb).
- Drop [PATCH v4 01/09] (dw-edma per-channel interrupt routing control)
from this series for now, so the series focuses on what's needed by the
current consumer (i.e. the doorbell fallback implementation).
- Replace the v4 embedded-doorbell "test variant + host/kselftest
plumbing" with a generic embedded-doorbell fallback in
pci_epf_alloc_doorbell(), including exposing required IRQ request flags
to EPF drivers.
- Two preparatory fix patches (Patch 6/8 and 7/8) to clean up error
handling and state management ahead of Patch 8/8.
- Rename *_get_remote_resource() to *_get_aux_resources() and adjust
relevant variable namings and kernel docs. Discussion may continue.
- Rework dw-edma per-channel metadata exposure to cache the needed info
in dw_edma_chip (IRQ number + emulation doorbell offset) and consume it
from the DesignWare EPC auxiliary resource provider without calling back
to dw-edma.
* v3->v4 changes:
- Drop dma_slave_caps.hw_id and the dmaengine selfirq callback
registration API. Instead, add a dw-edma specific dw_edma_chan_info()
helper and extend the EPC remote resource metadata accordingly.
- Add explicit acking for eDMA interrupt emulation and adjust the
dw-edma IRQ path for embedded-doorbell usage.
- Replace the previous EPC API smoke test with an embedded doorbell
test variant (pci-epf-test + pci_endpoint_test/selftests).
- Rebase onto pci.git controller/dwc commit 43d324eeb08c.
* v2->v3 changes:
- Replace DWC-specific helpers with a generic EPC remote resource query API.
- Add pci-epf-test smoke test and host/kselftest support for the new API.
- Drop the dw-edma-specific notify-only channel and polling approach
([PATCH v2 4/7] and [PATCH v2 5/7]), and rework notification handling
around a generic dmaengine_(un)register_selfirq() API implemented
by dw-edma.
* v1->v2 changes:
- Combine the two previously posted series into a single set (per Frank's
suggestion). Order dmaengine/dw-edma patches first so hw_id support
lands before the PCI LL-region helper, which assumes
dma_slave_caps.hw_id availability.

Endpoint controller drivers may integrate auxiliary blocks (e.g. DMA
engines) whose register windows and descriptor memories metadata need to
be exposed to a remote peer. Endpoint function drivers need a generic
way to discover such resources without hard-coding controller-specific
helpers.
Add pci_epc_count_aux_resources() / pci_epc_get_aux_resources() and the
corresponding pci_epc_ops callbacks. The count helper returns the number
of available resources via an output parameter, while the get helper
fills a caller-provided array of resources described by type, physical
address and size, plus type-specific metadata.

Some DesignWare PCIe controllers integrate an eDMA block whose registers
are located in a dedicated register window.
The EP-side aux-resource code exposes an interrupt-emulation doorbell
register (DOORBELL_MMIO) from that window. Its location is derived from
the start of the eDMA register window plus the doorbell offset already
provided by dw-edma, and the window size is used to validate the
computed register location.
Record the physical base and size of the integrated eDMA register window
in struct dw_pcie so the EP-side DesignWare aux-resource provider can
construct that doorbell resource.

Implement the EPC aux-resource API for DesignWare endpoint controllers
with integrated eDMA.
Currently, only report an interrupt-emulation doorbell register
(PCI_EPC_AUX_DOORBELL_MMIO), including its Linux IRQ and the write data
needed to trigger the interrupt.
If the DMA controller MMIO window is already exposed via a
platform-owned fixed BAR subregion, also provide the BAR number and
offset so EPF drivers can reuse it without reprogramming the BAR.

Changes in v12:
- Implement the new callback .count_aux_resources().
dw_pcie_ep_get_aux_resources() is refined.

Prepare pci-ep-msi for non-MSI doorbell backends.
Factor MSI doorbell allocation into a helper and extend struct
pci_epf_doorbell_msg with:
- irq_flags: required IRQ request flags (e.g. IRQF_SHARED for some
backends)
- type: doorbell backend type
- bar/offset: pre-exposed doorbell target location, if any
Initialize these fields for the existing MSI-backed doorbell
implementation.
Also add PCI_EPF_DOORBELL_EMBEDDED type, which is to be implemented in a
follow-up patch.
No functional changes.

Support doorbell backends where the doorbell target is already exposed
via a platform-owned fixed BAR mapping and/or where the doorbell IRQ
must be requested with specific flags.
When pci_epf_alloc_doorbell() provides db_msg[].bar/offset, reuse the
pre-exposed BAR window and skip programming a new inbound mapping. Also
honor db_msg[].irq_flags when requesting the doorbell IRQ.
Multiple doorbells may share the same Linux IRQ. Avoid duplicate
request_irq() calls by requesting each unique virq once.
Make pci-epf-vntb work with platform-defined or embedded doorbell
backends without exposing backend-specific details to the consumer
layer.

pci-epf-test advertises the doorbell target to the RC as a BAR number
and an offset, and the RC rings the doorbell with a single DWORD MMIO
write.
Some doorbell backends may report that the doorbell target is already
exposed via a platform-owned fixed BAR (db_msg[0].bar/offset). In that
case, reuse the pre-exposed window and do not reprogram the BAR with
pci_epc_set_bar().
Also honor db_msg[0].irq_flags when requesting the doorbell IRQ, and
only restore the original BAR mapping on disable if pci-epf-test
programmed it.

Some endpoint platforms cannot use platform MSI / GIC ITS to implement
EP-side doorbells. In those cases, EPF drivers cannot provide an
interrupt-driven doorbell and often fall back to polling.
Add an "embedded" doorbell backend that uses a controller-integrated
doorbell target (e.g. DesignWare integrated eDMA interrupt-emulation
doorbell).
The backend locates the doorbell register and a corresponding Linux IRQ
via the EPC aux-resource API. If the doorbell register is already
exposed via a fixed BAR mapping, provide BAR+offset. Otherwise provide
the DMA address returned by dma_map_resource() (which may be an IOVA
when an IOMMU is enabled) so EPF drivers can map it into BAR space.
When MSI doorbell allocation fails with -ENODEV,
pci_epf_alloc_doorbell() falls back to this embedded backend.

Changes in v12:
- Use the new pci_epc_count_aux_resources()
- Add TODO comment and defer multiple DOORBELL_MMIO resources per EPC
case.

Most like such kinds APIs return count directly,

>= 0, means how many resource.

I chose to return 0 on success here based on Mani's earlier feedback on v11:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/lfbv6sjevz4xtjr6zt2hl3wap3bfwkvigqb6fdztqmutxgcvld@3t4x5gstr4nj/
I don't have a strong preference here, but since there seems to be no clear
policy/convention across the kernel, I would prefer to follow what is most
consistent and maintainable for the maintainers. Of course, I'm happy to switch
and respin if preferred.
Thanks for reviewing,
Koichiro

I am okay for both, But may request Mani think 2nd. Most existing kernel
API use return value for count of resource.

Ok, fine with me.
@Koichiro Den: When you respin, could you please rename the API to
pci_epc_get_aux_resources_count()?
Reset LGTM!
