I have a few general comments, which I'll mention here. - This description goes out of its way to say MHI *could* be used over almost any transport, and PCIe just happens to be one of them. The reality is, you are only supporting it over PCIe, and as far as I know you have no plans to go beyond that. Even if you did, I think it should be clearer that you are doing MHI support over PCIe, even though other options are possible (and could be incorporated in the future). - The first two patches are bug fixes; I think you should send those out right away, without waiting for the entire series to get accepted. - But ideally, can we get a "Tested-by" tag on these first? - The next several, maybe up to patch 7, are also sort of preparatory for the "real" code you're adding. Maybe those could be sent out early/separately too, knowing that the end goal is to get the MHI endpoint support accepted. - Given the endianness issues (which I pointed out last time, but which seem to be addressed), are you able to test this code using a host that has different endianness than the modem CPU (SDX55)? - Paul Davey seems to have the ability to test this. - I have a few very minor suggestions in the wording below. - You really need a picture to make it easier to see at a glance what the hardware model is. Here's one I did at one point, but it also includes the IPA in it (which is the FUUUUTURE!!!). The SDX55 AP controls the PCIe endpoint. .................... .................................. : "Intel host" : : "SDX55" : : : : ------------ : : : : | SDX55 AP | : : : : ------------ : : : | | : | : : -------- (root complex) |P| (endpoint) ------- --------- : : | Host |----------------|C|------------| IPA |-------| Modem | : : -------- : |I| : ------- --------- : :..................: |e| :................................: | | Something this picture does not show is that the transfer, command and event rings (and buffers) reside in host memory, while information *about* those rings (size, location, and current read/write pointers) reside in PCIe memory. > Overview > ======== > > This series aims at adding the MHI support in the endpoint devices with the goal This series adds the MHI support... > of getting data connectivity using the mainline kernel running on the modems. > Modems here refer to the combination of an APPS processor (Cortex A grade) and > a baseband processor (DSP).

Hello, This series adds initial support for the Qualcomm specific Modem Host Interface (MHI) bus in endpoint devices like SDX55 modems. The MHI bus in endpoint devices communicates with the MHI bus in host machines like x86 over any physical bus like PCIe. The MHI host support is already in mainline [1] and been used by PCIe based modems and WLAN devices running vendor code (downstream). Overview ======== This series aims at adding the MHI support in the endpoint devices with the goal of getting data connectivity using the mainline kernel running on the modems. Modems here refer to the combination of an APPS processor (Cortex A grade) and a baseband processor (DSP). The MHI bus is located in the APPS processor and it transfers data packets from the baseband processor to the host machine. The MHI Endpoint (MHI EP) stack proposed here is inspired by the downstream code written by Qualcomm. But the complete stack is mostly re-written to adapt to the "bus" framework and made it modular so that it can work with the upstream subsystems like "PCI Endpoint". The code structure of the MHI endpoint stack follows the MHI host stack to maintain uniformity. With this initial MHI EP stack (along with few other drivers), we can establish the network interface between host and endpoint over the MHI software channels (IP_SW0) and can do things like IP forwarding, SSH, etc... Stack Organization ================== The MHI EP stack has the concept of controller and device drivers as like the MHI host stack. The MHI EP controller driver can be a PCI Endpoint Function driver and the MHI device driver can be a MHI EP Networking driver or QRTR driver. The MHI EP controller driver is tied to the PCI Endpoint subsystem and handles all bus related activities like mapping the host memory, raising IRQ, passing link specific events etc... The MHI EP networking driver is tied to the Networking stack and handles all networking related activities like sending/receiving the SKBs from netdev, statistics collection etc... This series only contains the MHI EP code, whereas the PCIe EPF driver and MHI EP Networking drivers are not yet submitted and can be found here [2]. Though the MHI EP stack doesn't have the build time dependency, it cannot function without them. Test setup ========== This series has been tested on Telit FN980 TLB board powered by Qualcomm SDX55 (a.k.a X55 modem) and Qualcomm SM8450 based dev board. For testing the stability and performance, networking tools such as iperf, ssh and ping are used. Limitations =========== We are not _yet_ there to get the data packets from the modem as that involves the Qualcomm IP Accelerator (IPA) integration with MHI endpoint stack. But we are planning to add support for it in the coming days.

Changes in v2: v2 mostly addresses the issues seen while testing the stack on SM8450 that is a SMP platform and also incorporates the review comments from Alex. Major changes are: * Added a cleanup patch for getting rid of SHIFT macros and used the bitfield operations. * Added the endianess patches that were submitted to MHI list and used the endianess conversion in EP patches also. * Added support for multiple event rings. * Fixed the MSI generation based on the event ring index. * Fixed the doorbell list handling by making use of list splice and not locking the entire list manipulation. * Added new APIs for wrapping the reading and writing to host memory (Dmitry). * Optimized the read_channel and queue_skb function logics. * Added Hemant's R-o-b tag.
