[char-misc-next 01/11 V4] mei: bus: Initial MEI Client bus type implementation

From: Tomas Winkler
Date: Wed Mar 20 2013 - 18:44:51 EST


From: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

mei cleint bus will present some of the me clients
as devices for other standard subsystems

Implement the probe, remove, match and the device addtion routines.
A mei-cleint-bus.txt document describing the rationale and the API usage
is also added.

+Intel(R) Management Engine (ME) Client bus API
+===============================================
+
+
+Rationale
+=========
+MEI misc character device is useful for dedicated applications to send and receive
+data to the many FW appliance found in Intel's ME from the user space.
+However for some of the ME functionalities it make sense to leverage existing software
+stack and expose them through existing kernel subsystems.
+
+In order to plug seamlessly into the kernel device driver model we add kernel virtual
+bus abstraction on top of the MEI driver. This allows implementing linux kernel drivers
+for the various MEI features as a stand alone entities found in their respective subsystem.
+Existing device drivers can even potentially be re-used by adding an MEI CL bus layer to
+the existing code.
+
+
+MEI CL bus API
+===========
+A driver implementation for an MEI Client is very similar to existing bus
+based device drivers. The driver registers itself as an MEI CL bus driver through
+the mei_cl_driver structure:
+
+struct mei_cl_driver {
+ struct device_driver driver;
+ const char *name;
+
+ const struct mei_cl_id *id_table;
+
+ int (*probe)(struct mei_cl_device *dev, const struct mei_cl_id *id);
+ int (*remove)(struct mei_cl_device *dev);
+};
+
+struct mei_cl_id {
+ char name[MEI_NAME_SIZE];
+ uuid_le uuid;
+};
+
+The mei_cl_id structure allows the driver to bind itself against an ME UUID and a
+device name. There is typically one ME UUID per technology and the mei_cl_id name
+field matches a specific implementation of that technology. As an example,
+the ME supports NFC devices from multiple IP vendors and device types.
+All of them have the same ME UUID but the ME bus code will assign
+each of them a different name. There is some analogy to device class and device
+vendor terms.
+
+To actually register a driver on the ME Client bus one must call the mei_cl_add_driver()
+API. This is typically called at module init time.
+
+Once registered on the ME Client bus, a driver will typically try to do some I/O on
+this bus and this should be done through the mei_cl_send() and mei_cl_recv()
+routines. The latter is synchronous (blocks and sleeps until data shows up).
+In order for drivers to be notified of pending events waiting for them (e.g.
+an Rx event) they can register an event handler through the
+mei_cl_register_event_cb() routine. Currently only the MEI_EVENT_RX event
+will trigger an event handler call and the driver implementation is supposed
+to call mei_recv() from the event handler in order to fetch the pending
+received buffers.
+
+
+Example
+=======
+As a theoretical example let's pretend the ME comes with a "contact" NFC IP.
+The driver init and exit routines for this device would look like:
+
+#define CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME "contact"
+
+#define NFC_UUID UUID_LE(0x0bb17a78, 0x2a8e, 0x4c50, 0x94, \
+ 0xd4, 0x50, 0x26, 0x67, 0x23, 0x77, 0x5c)
+
+static struct mei_cl_id contact_mei_cl_tbl[] = {
+ { CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME, NFC_UUID },
+
+ /* required last entry */
+ { }
+};
+
+static struct mei_cl_driver contact_driver = {
+ .id_table = contact_mei_tbl,
+ .name = CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME,
+
+ .probe = contact_probe,
+ .remove = contact_remove,
+};
+
+static int contact_init(void)
+{
+ int r;
+
+ r = mei_cl_driver_register(&contact_driver);
+ if (r) {
+ pr_err(CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME ": driver registration failed\n");
+ return r;
+ }
+
+ return 0;
+}
+
+static void __exit contact_exit(void)
+{
+ mei_cl_driver_unregister(&contact_driver);
+}
+
+module_init(contact_init);
+module_exit(contact_exit);
+
+And the driver's simplified probe routine would look like that:
+
+int contact_probe(struct mei_cl_device *dev, struct mei_cl_id *id)
+{
+ struct contact_driver *contact;
+
+ [...]
+ mei_cl_register_event_cb(dev, contact_event_cb, contact);
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+In the probe routine the driver basically registers an ME bus event handler
+which is as close as it can get to registering a threaded IRQ handler.
+The handler implementation will typically call some I/O routine depending on
+the pending events:
+
+#define MAX_NFC_PAYLOAD 128
+
+static void contact_event_cb(struct mei_cl_device *dev, u32 events,
+ void *context)
+{
+ struct contact_driver *contact = context;
+
+ if (events & BIT(MEI_EVENT_RX)) {
+ u8 payload[MAX_NFC_PAYLOAD];
+ int payload_size;
+
+ payload_size = mei_recv(dev, payload, MAX_NFC_PAYLOAD);
+ if (payload_size <= 0)
+ return;
+
+ /* Hook to the NFC subsystem */
+ nfc_hci_recv_frame(contact->hdev, payload, payload_size);
+ }
+}
