Ben has some follow-on patches that double-down on this organization, so we want to get this question answered first. Ben, I kept your reviewed-by, but if the new changelog does not look quite right feel free to holler. --- From a5618df78d28a9be6a75d4c1b1cd4e50f6e43297 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Date: Tue, 9 Feb 2021 00:05:22 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] cxl/mem: Introduce 'struct cxl_regs' for "composable" CXL devices CXL MMIO register blocks are organized by device type and capabilities. There are Component registers, Device registers (yes, an ambiguous name), and Memory Device registers (a specific extension of Device registers). It is possible for a given device instance (endpoint or port) to implement register sets from multiple of the above categories. The driver code that enumerates and maps the registers is type specific so it is useful to have a dedicated type and helpers for each block type. At the same time, once the registers are mapped the origin type does not matter. It is overly pedantic to reference the register block type in code that is using the registers. In preparation for the endpoint driver to incorporate Component registers into its MMIO operations reorganize the registers to allow typed enumeration + mapping, but anonymous usage. With the end state of 'struct cxl_regs' to be: struct cxl_regs { union { struct { CXL_DEVICE_REGS(); }; struct cxl_device_regs device_regs; }; union { struct { CXL_COMPONENT_REGS(); }; struct cxl_component_regs component_regs; }; }; With this arrangement the driver can share component init code with ports, but when using the registers it can directly reference the component register block type by name without the 'component_regs' prefix. So, map + enumerate can be shared across drivers of different CXL classes e.g.: void cxl_setup_device_regs(struct device *dev, void __iomem *base, struct cxl_device_regs *regs); void cxl_setup_component_regs(struct device *dev, void __iomem *base, struct cxl_component_regs *regs); ...while inline usage in the driver need not indicate where the registers came from: readl(cxlm->regs.mbox + MBOX_OFFSET); readl(cxlm->regs.hdm + HDM_OFFSET); ...instead of: readl(cxlm->regs.device_regs.mbox + MBOX_OFFSET); readl(cxlm->regs.component_regs.hdm + HDM_OFFSET); This complexity of the definition in .h yields improvement in code readability in .c while maintaining type-safety for organization of setup code. It prepares the implementation to maintain organization in the face of CXL devices that compose register interfaces consisting of multiple types.
