OpenCAPI (Open Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface)
|
||||
========================================================
|
||||
|
||||
OpenCAPI is an interface between processors and accelerators. It aims
|
||||
at being low-latency and high-bandwidth. The specification is
|
||||
developed by the `OpenCAPI Consortium <http://opencapi.org/>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
It allows an accelerator (which could be a FPGA, ASICs, ...) to access
|
||||
the host memory coherently, using virtual addresses. An OpenCAPI
|
||||
device can also host its own memory, that can be accessed from the
|
||||
host.
|
||||
|
||||
OpenCAPI is known in linux as 'ocxl', as the open, processor-agnostic
|
||||
evolution of 'cxl' (the driver for the IBM CAPI interface for
|
||||
powerpc), which was named that way to avoid confusion with the ISDN
|
||||
CAPI subsystem.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
High-level view
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
OpenCAPI defines a Data Link Layer (DL) and Transaction Layer (TL), to
|
||||
be implemented on top of a physical link. Any processor or device
|
||||
implementing the DL and TL can start sharing memory.

|
||||
Device discovery
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
OpenCAPI relies on a PCI-like configuration space, implemented on the
|
||||
device. So the host can discover AFUs by querying the config space.
|
||||
|
||||
OpenCAPI devices in Linux are treated like PCI devices (with a few
|
||||
caveats). The firmware is expected to abstract the hardware as if it
|
||||
was a PCI link. A lot of the existing PCI infrastructure is reused:
|
||||
devices are scanned and BARs are assigned during the standard PCI
|
||||
enumeration. Commands like 'lspci' can therefore be used to see what
|
||||
devices are available.
|
||||
|
||||
The configuration space defines the AFU(s) that can be found on the
|
||||
physical adapter, such as its name, how many memory contexts it can
|
||||
work with, the size of its MMIO areas, ...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
MMIO
|
||||
====
|
||||
|
||||
OpenCAPI defines two MMIO areas for each AFU:
|
||||
|
||||
* the global MMIO area, with registers pertinent to the whole AFU.
|
||||
* a per-process MMIO area, which has a fixed size for each context.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
AFU interrupts
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
OpenCAPI includes the possibility for an AFU to send an interrupt to a
|
||||
host process. It is done through a 'intrp_req' defined in the
|
||||
Transaction Layer, specifying a 64-bit object handle which defines the
|
||||
interrupt.
|
||||
|
||||
The driver allows a process to allocate an interrupt and obtain its
|
||||
64-bit object handle, that can be passed to the AFU.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
char devices
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
The driver creates one char device per AFU found on the physical
|
||||
device. A physical device may have multiple functions and each
|
||||
function can have multiple AFUs. At the time of this writing though,
|
||||
it has only been tested with devices exporting only one AFU.
|
||||
|
||||
Char devices can be found in /dev/ocxl/ and are named as:
|
||||
/dev/ocxl/<AFU name>.<location>.<index>
|
||||
|
||||
where <AFU name> is a max 20-character long name, as found in the
|
||||
config space of the AFU.
|
||||
<location> is added by the driver and can help distinguish devices
|
||||
when a system has more than one instance of the same OpenCAPI device.
|
||||
<index> is also to help distinguish AFUs in the unlikely case where a
|
||||
device carries multiple copies of the same AFU.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Sysfs class
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
An ocxl class is added for the devices representing the AFUs. See
|
||||
/sys/class/ocxl. The layout is described in
|
||||
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-ocxl
|
||||
|

||||
|
||||
User API
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
open
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
Based on the AFU definition found in the config space, an AFU may
|
||||
support working with more than one memory context, in which case the
|
||||
associated char device may be opened multiple times by different
|
||||
processes.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
ioctl
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
OCXL_IOCTL_ATTACH:
|
||||
|
||||
Attach the memory context of the calling process to the AFU so that
|
||||
the AFU can access its memory.
|
||||
|
||||
OCXL_IOCTL_IRQ_ALLOC:
|
||||
|
||||
Allocate an AFU interrupt and return an identifier.
|
||||
|
||||
OCXL_IOCTL_IRQ_FREE:
|
||||
|
||||
Free a previously allocated AFU interrupt.
|
||||
|
||||
OCXL_IOCTL_IRQ_SET_FD:
|
||||
|
||||
Associate an event fd to an AFU interrupt so that the user process
|
||||
can be notified when the AFU sends an interrupt.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
mmap
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
A process can mmap the per-process MMIO area for interactions with the
|
||||
AFU.
