Thanks Keith, I'll look into using those.

Some of this would be simplified if you use the managed device API's:
devm_request_irq, pcim_enable_device, pcim_iomap, etc...

No need to copy bad code, I suggest fixing that up as well :)

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the quick review!

Why do you have a pointer to a device, yet a kref as well?  Just have
this structure embed a 'struct device' in itself, like you did for a
kref, and you will be fine.  Otherwise you are dealing with two
different sets of reference counting here, for no good reason.


Ok, understood. I had referenced the device dax driver which did it this 
way in 4.8 but looks like it was changed to the way you suggest in 4.9.

Ick, just open code these please.  That's a huge hint your use of the

Ok, will do. For reference, I was copying

drivers/ntb/hw/intel/ntb_hw_intel.h

which does a similar thing.

[RFC 1/1] MicroSemi Switchtec management interface driver

2016-12-17 Thread Logan Gunthorpe
Microsemi's "Switchtec" line of PCI switch devices is already
supported by the kernel with standard PCI switch drivers. However, the
Switchtec device advertises a special management endpoint which
enables some additional functionality. This includes:

 * Packet and Byte Counters
 * Firmware Upgrades
 * Event and Error logs
 * Querying port link status
 * Custom user firmware commands

This patch introduces the switchtec kernel module which provides
pci driver that exposes a char device. The char device provides
userspace access to this interface through read, write and (optionally)
poll calls. Currently no ioctls have been implemented but a couple
may be added in a later revision.

A short text file is provided which documents the switchtec driver
and outlines the semantics of using the char device.

A WIP userspace tool which utilizes this interface is available
at [1]. This tool takes
inspiration (and borrows some code) from nvme-cli [2].

+Linux Switchtec Support
+
+
+Microsemi's "Switchtec" line of PCI switch devices is already
+supported by the kernel with standard PCI switch drivers. However, the
+Switchtec device advertises a special management endpoint which
+enables some additional functionality. This includes:
+
+ * Packet and Byte Counters
+ * Firmware Upgrades
+ * Event and Error logs
+ * Querying port link status
+ * Custom user firmware commands
+
+The switchtec kernel module implements this functionality.
+
+
+
+Interface
+=
+
+The primary means of communicating with the Switchtec management firmware is
+through the Memory-mapped Remote Procedure Call (MRPC) interface.
+Commands are submitted to the interface with a 4-byte command
+identifier and up to 1KB of command specific data. The firmware will
+respond with a 4 bytes return code and up to 1KB of command specific
+data. The interface only processes a single command at a time.
+
+
+Userspace Interface
+===
+
+The MRPC interface will be exposed to userspace through a simple char
+device: /dev/switchtec#, one for each management endpoint in the system.
+
+The char device has the following semantics:
+
+ * A write must consist of at least 4 bytes and no more than 1028 bytes.
+   The first four bytes will be interpreted as the command to run and
+   the remainder will be used as the input data. A write will send the
+   command to the firmware to begin processing.
+
+ * Each write must be followed by exactly one read. Any double write will
+   produce an error and any read that doesn't follow a write will
+   produce an error.
+
+ * A read will block until the firmware completes the command and return
+   the four bytes of status plus up to 1024 bytes of output data. (The
+   length will be specified by the size parameter of the read call --
+   reading less than 4 bytes will produce an error.
+
+ * The poll call will also be supported for userspace applications that
+   need to do other things while waiting for the command to complete.
