[PATCH v2, RESEND] misc: new driver sram_uapi for user level SRAM access

Wang Wenhu wenhu.wang at vivo.com
Mon Apr 20 13:05:38 AEST 2020


A generic User-Kernel interface that allows a misc device created
by it to support file-operations of ioctl and mmap to access SRAM
memory from user level. Different kinds of SRAM alloction and free
APIs could be registered by specific SRAM hardware level driver to
the available list and then be chosen by users to allocate and map
SRAM memory from user level.

It is extremely helpful for the user space applications that require
high performance memory accesses, such as embedded networking devices
that would process data in user space, and PowerPC e500 is a case.

Changes since v1: addressed comments from Arnd
 * Changed the ioctl cmd definitions using _IO micros
 * Export interfaces for HW-SRAM drivers to register apis to available list
 * Modified allocation alignment to PAGE_SIZE
 * Use phys_addr_t as type of SRAM resource size and offset
 * Support compat_ioctl
 * Misc device name:sram

Note: From this on, the SRAM_UAPI driver is independent to any hardware
drivers, so I would only commit the patch itself as v2, while the v1 of
it was wrapped together with patches for Freescale L2-Cache-SRAM device.
Then after, I'd create patches for Freescale L2-Cache-SRAM device as
another series.
