Thanks, Andy.


Hi Wolfram,

Let me introduce some development background, it is used for OpenBMC project,

which belongs to the Linux Foundation now (https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/openbmc-project-community-comes-together-at-the-linux-foundation-to-define-open-source-implementation-of-bmc-firmware-stack/).

**

*IPMI is embedded within IPMB (similar to KCS, BT?)*

*

*

Who started, who responded to messages

*

We need a kernel interface for handling a multi-master slave

*

Dell has a non-standard i2c IPMB interface

o

Kernel maintains table of outstanding commands

*

Brendan suggests we need a kernel driver for doing both MCTP and IPMB

*

We canât do them both in usersland as MCTP makes extensions to SMBUS
in order to allow arbitration. Problematic extension is the âMCTP
fairness arbitrationâ. Requires the i2c controllers on the bus
(masters/slaves) to observe the line for a certain period of time in
order to see who is using the line. Thereâs no userspace API for
this, and it the timing requirements are tight

*

Slave mode is not yet exposed to the user

*

As we donât have a userspace interface, it makes sense to add a new one

*

BR,
Haiyue

This new slave mqueue backend is used to receive and queue messages,
it
will exposes these messages to userspace by sysfs bin file.

Wolfram, I'm not sure this is the best approach, though I can't propose
anything else right now.

If you are satisfied with it, I give a formal

+=====================================
+Linux I2C slave message queue backend
+=====================================
+
+:Author: Haiyue Wang <haiyue.wang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
+
+Some protocols over I2C/SMBus are designed for bi-directional
transferring
+messages by using I2C Master Write protocol. This requires that both
sides
+of the communication have slave addresses.
+
+Like MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol) and IPMB
(Intelligent
+Platform Management Bus), they both require that the userspace can
receive
+messages from i2c dirvers under slave mode.
+
+This I2C slave mqueue (message queue) backend is used to receive and
queue
+messages from the remote i2c intelligent device; and it will add the
target
+slave address (with R/W# bit is always 0) into the message at the
first byte,
+so that userspace can use this byte to dispatch the messages into
different
+handling modules. Also, like IPMB, the address byte is in its message
format,
+it needs it to do checksum.
+
+For messages are time related, so this backend will flush the oldest
message
+to queue the newest one.

+
+How to use
+----------
+For example, the I2C5 bus has slave address 0x10, bellowing command
will create
+the related message queue interface:
+
+ echo slave-mqueue 0x1010 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-5/new_device
+
+Then you can dump the messages like this:
+
+ hexdump -C /sys/bus/i2c/devices/5-1010/slave-mqueue
+
+Code Example
+------------
+*Note: call 'lseek' before 'read', this is a requirement from kernfs'
design.*
+
+::
+
+ #include <sys/types.h>
+ #include <sys/stat.h>
+ #include <unistd.h>
+ #include <poll.h>
+ #include <time.h>
+ #include <fcntl.h>
+ #include <stdio.h>
+
+ int main(int argc, char *argv[])
+ {
+ int i, r;
+ struct pollfd pfd;
+ struct timespec ts;
+ unsigned char data[256];
+
+ pfd.fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK);
+ if (pfd.fd < 0)
+ return -1;
+
+ pfd.events = POLLPRI;
+
+ while (1) {
+ r = poll(&pfd, 1, 5000);
+
+ if (r < 0)
+ break;
+
+ if (r == 0 || !(pfd.revents & POLLPRI))
+ continue;
+
+ lseek(pfd.fd, 0, SEEK_SET);
+ r = read(pfd.fd, data, sizeof(data));
+ if (r <= 0)
+ continue;
+
+ clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &ts);
+ printf("[%ld.%.9ld] :", ts.tv_sec, ts.tv_nsec);
+ for (i = 0; i < r; i++)
+ printf(" %02x", data[i]);
+ printf("\n");
+ }
+
+ close(pfd.fd);
+
+ return 0;
+ }
