It steers each frame's Tx command (which contains the frame + * data) into one of up to 7 prioritized Tx DMA FIFO channels within the + * device. A queue maps to only one (selectable by driver) Tx DMA channel, + * but one DMA channel may take input from several queues. + * + * Tx DMA channels have dedicated purposes. For 4965, they are used as follows: + * + * 0 -- EDCA BK (background) frames, lowest priority + * 1 -- EDCA BE (best effort) frames, normal priority + * 2 -- EDCA VI (video) frames, higher priority + * 3 -- EDCA VO (voice) and management frames, highest priority + * 4 -- Commands (e.g. RXON, etc.) + * 5 -- HCCA short frames + * 6 -- HCCA long frames + * 7 -- not used by driver (device-internal only) + * + * Driver should normally map queues 0-6 to Tx DMA/FIFO channels 0-6. + * In addition, driver can map queues 7-15 to Tx DMA/FIFO channels 0-3 to + * support 11n aggregation via EDCA DMA channels. + * + * The driver sets up each queue to work in one of two modes: + * + * 1) Scheduler-Ack, in which the scheduler automatically supports a + * block-ack (BA) window of up to 64 TFDs. In this mode, each queue + * contains TFDs for a unique combination of Recipient Address (RA) + * and Traffic Identifier (TID), that is, traffic of a given + * Quality-Of-Service (QOS) priority, destined for a single station. + * + * In scheduler-ack mode, the scheduler keeps track of the Tx status of + * each frame within the BA window, including whether it's been transmitted, + * and whether it's been acknowledged by the receiving station. The device + * automatically processes block-acks received from the receiving STA, + * and reschedules un-acked frames to be retransmitted (successful + * Tx completion may end up being out-of-order). + * + * The driver must maintain the queue's Byte Count table in host DRAM + * (struct iwl4965_sched_queue_byte_cnt_tbl) for this mode. + * This mode does not support fragmentation. + * + * 2) FIFO (a.k.a. non-Scheduler-ACK), in which each TFD is processed in order. + * The device may automatically retry Tx, but will retry only one frame + * at a time, until receiving ACK from receiving station, or reaching + * retry limit and giving up. + * + * The command queue (#4) must use this mode! + * This mode does not require use of the Byte Count table in host DRAM. + * + * Driver controls scheduler operation via 3 means: + * 1) Scheduler registers + * 2) Shared scheduler data base in internal 4956 SRAM + * 3) Shared data in host DRAM + * + * Initialization: + * + * When loading, driver should allocate memory for: + * 1) 16 TFD circular buffers, each with space for (typically) 256 TFDs. + * 2) 16 Byte Count circular buffers in 16 KBytes contiguous memory + * (1024 bytes for each queue). + * + * After receiving "Alive" response from uCode, driver must initialize + * the scheduler (especially for queue #4, the command queue, otherwise + * the driver can't issue commands!): + */ + +/** + * Max Tx window size is the max number of contiguous TFDs that the scheduler + * can keep track of at one time when creating block-ack chains of frames. + * Note that "64" matches the number of ack bits in a block-ack packet. + * Driver should use SCD_WIN_SIZE and SCD_FRAME_LIMIT values to initialize + * SCD_CONTEXT_QUEUE_OFFSET(x) values. + */ #define SCD_WIN_SIZE 64 #define SCD_FRAME_LIMIT 64 -/* SRAM structures */ -#define SCD_CONTEXT_DATA_OFFSET 0x380 -#define SCD_TX_STTS_BITMAP_OFFSET 0x400 -#define SCD_TRANSLATE_TBL_OFFSET 0x500 -#define SCD_CONTEXT_QUEUE_OFFSET(x) (SCD_CONTEXT_DATA_OFFSET + ((x) * 8)) -#define SCD_TRANSLATE_TBL_OFFSET_QUEUE(x) \ - ((SCD_TRANSLATE_TBL_OFFSET + ((x) * 2)) & 0xfffffffc) +/* SCD registers are internal, must be accessed via HBUS_TARG_PRPH regs */ +#define SCD_START_OFFSET 0xa02c00 + +/* + * 4965 tells driver SRAM address for internal scheduler structs via this reg. + * Value is valid only after "Alive" response from uCode. + */ +#define SCD_SRAM_BASE_ADDR (SCD_START_OFFSET + 0x0) +/* + * Driver may need to update queue-empty bits after changing queue's + * write and read pointers (indexes) during (re-)initialization (i.e. when + * scheduler is not tracking what's happening). + * Bit fields: + * 31-16: Write mask -- 1: update empty bit, 0: don't change empty bit + * 15-00: Empty state, one for each queue -- 1: empty, 0: non-empty + * NOTE: This register is not used by Linux driver. + */ +#define SCD_EMPTY_BITS (SCD_START_OFFSET + 0x4) + +/* + * Physical base address of array of byte count (BC) circular buffers (CBs). + * Each Tx queue has a BC CB in host DRAM to support Scheduler-ACK mode. + * This register points to BC CB for queue 0, must be on 1024-byte boundary. + * Others are spaced by 1024 bytes. + * Each BC CB is 2 bytes * (256 + 64) = 740 bytes, followed by 384 bytes pad. + * (Index into a queue's BC CB) = (index into queue's TFD CB) = (SSN & 0xff). + * Bit fields: + * 25-00: Byte Count CB physical address [35:10], must be 1024-byte aligned. + */ +#define SCD_DRAM_BASE_ADDR (SCD_START_OFFSET + 0x10) + +/* + * Enables any/all Tx DMA/FIFO channels. + * Scheduler generates requests for only the active channels. + * Set this to 0xff to enable all 8 channels (normal usage). + * Bit fields: + * 7- 0: Enable (1), disable (0), one bit for each channel 0-7 + */ +#define SCD_TXFACT (SCD_START_OFFSET + 0x1c) + +/* Mask to enable contiguous Tx DMA/FIFO channels between "lo" and "hi". */ #define SCD_TXFACT_REG_TXFIFO_MASK(lo, hi) \ ((1<<(hi))|((1<<(hi))-(1<<(lo)))) +/* + * Queue (x) Write Pointers (indexes, really!), one for each Tx queue. + * Initialized and updated by driver as new TFDs are added to queue. + * NOTE: If using Block Ack, index must correspond to frame's + * Start Sequence Number; index = (SSN & 0xff) + * NOTE: Alternative to HBUS_TARG_WRPTR, which is what Linux driver uses?
