cxl: Implement an ioctl to fetch afu card-id, offset-id and mode

2015-06-03T03:27:15Z

Given a file descriptor on an afu device, libcxl currently uses the major/minor number obtained from fstat on the fd to construct path to the afu's sysfs directory. However it is possible that rather than using one of the device in /dev/cxl, a kernel driver creates its own device which export generic cxl interface to the userspace. This causes problems with libcxl as it tries to use a wrong major/minor number to construct the sysfs path and fail. So this patch introduces a new ioctl called CXL_IOCTL_GET_AFU_ID on the afu file descriptor to fetch the cxl_afu_id struct that holds the card/offset-id and mode information. These info is then used by libcxl to construct the correct path to the afu sysfs directory. Testing: - Build against pseries be/le configs - Testing with corresponding libcxl changes to verify that it constructs right sysfs path to the afu.

cxl: Add documentation for userspace APIs

2014-10-08T09:16:19Z

This documentation gives an overview of the hardware architecture, userspace APIs via /dev/cxl/afuM.N and the syfs files. It also adds a MAINTAINERS file entry for cxl. Signed-off-by: Ian Munsie Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

cxl: Add userspace header file

2014-10-08T09:15:57Z

This adds a header file for use by userspace programs wanting to interact with the kernel cxl driver. It defines structs and magic numbers required for userspace to interact with devices in /dev/cxl/afuM.N. Further documentation on this interface is added in a subsequent patch in Documentation/powerpc/cxl.txt. It also adds this new userspace header file to Kbuild so it's exported when doing "make headers_installs". Signed-off-by: Ian Munsie Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman
