Commit Message

Alan Tull Aug. 14, 2018, 7:15 p.m. UTC
Clarify the intention that interfaces and upper layers use
regions rather than managers directly.

Rearrange API documentation to better group the API functions
used to create FPGA mgr/bridge/regions and the API used for
programming FPGAs.

+In-kernel API for FPGA Programming
+==================================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The in-kernel API for FPGA programming is a combination of APIs from
+FPGA manager, bridge, and regions.  The actual function used to
+trigger FPGA programming is :c:func:`fpga_region_program_fpga()`.
+
+:c:func:`fpga_region_program_fpga()` uses functionality supplied by
+the FPGA manager and bridges.  It will:
+
+ * lock the region's mutex
+ * lock the mutex of the region's FPGA manager
+ * build a list of FPGA bridges if a method has been specified to do so
+ * disable the bridges
+ * program the FPGA using info passed in :c:member:`fpga_region->info`.
+ * re-enable the bridges
+ * release the locks
+
+The struct fpga_image_info specifies what FPGA image to program.  It is allocated/freed by :c:func:`fpga_image_info_alloc()` and freed with :c:func:`fpga_image_info_free()`
+
+How to program an FPGA using a region
+-------------------------------------
+
+When the FPGA region driver probed, it was given a pointer to a FPGA manager
+driver so it knows which manager to use.  The region also either has a list of
+bridges to control during programming or it has a pointer to a function that
+will generate that list.  Here's some sample code of what to do next::
+
+	#include <linux/fpga/fpga-mgr.h>
+	#include <linux/fpga/fpga-region.h>
+
+	struct fpga_image_info *info;
+	int ret;
+
+	/*
+	 * First, alloc the struct with information about the FPGA image to
+	 * program.
+	 */
+	info = fpga_image_info_alloc(dev);
+	if (!info)
+		return -ENOMEM;
+
+	/* Set flags as needed, such as: */
+	info->flags = FPGA_MGR_PARTIAL_RECONFIG;
+
+	/*
+	 * Indicate where the FPGA image is. This is pseudo-code; you're
+	 * going to use one of these three.
+	 */
+	if (image is in a scatter gather table) {
+
+		info->sgt = [your scatter gather table]
+
+	} else if (image is in a buffer) {
+
+		info->buf = [your image buffer]
+		info->count = [image buffer size]
+
+	} else if (image is in a firmware file) {
+
+		info->firmware_name = devm_kstrdup(dev, firmware_name,
+						   GFP_KERNEL);
+
+	}
+
+	/* Add info to region and do the programming */
+	region->info = info;
+	ret = fpga_region_program_fpga(region);
+	if (ret)
+		return ret;
+
+	/* Deallocate the image info if you're done with it */
+	fpga_image_info_free(info);
+
+	/* Now enumerate whatever hardware has appeared in the FPGA. */

+* :c:func:`devm_fpga_region_create` — Allocate and init a region struct
+* :c:func:`fpga_region_register` —  Register a FPGA region
+* :c:func:`fpga_region_unregister` —  Unregister a FPGA region
+
+The FPGA region's probe function will need to get a reference to the FPGA
+Manager it will be using to do the programming.  This usually would happen
+during the region's probe function.
+
+* :c:func:`fpga_mgr_get` — Get a reference to a FPGA manager, raise ref count
+* :c:func:`of_fpga_mgr_get` —  Get a reference to a FPGA manager, raise ref count,
+  given a device node.
+* :c:func:`fpga_mgr_put` — Put a FPGA manager
+
+The FPGA region will need to specify which bridges to control while programming
+the FPGA.  The region driver can build a list of bridges during probe time
+(:c:member:`fpga_region->bridge_list`) or it can have a function that creates
+the list of bridges to program just before programming
+(:c:member:`fpga_region->get_bridges`).  The FPGA bridge framework supplies the
+following APIs to handle building or tearing down that list.
