Hi Bill,

could you clarify if this "device" is related to devicetree as defined by
Linaro (https://github.com/devicetree-org/devicetree-specification) or the
devices that are in the scope of Christophe Millard, or some other device
concept ?

This is the Device ID proposal that Petri suggested at BKK16. It is not
related to devtree or any other specific taxonomy as the idea was to
establish an abstract "device" framework that would support both individual
sockets or multi-SoC environments. In odp-linux these are basically
placeholder functions as we don't have any cross-platform concept of NUMA.
The idea is that each individual platform that does support NUMA should be
able to map their native concepts into this framework to permit
applications to associate an internal odp_dev_t handle with named devices.

Devicetree has been formed by and for SoC vendors to represent what they
have on their platforms (CPUs, Memory, interconnects, IOMMUs, ports, IRQ
lines, firmware -
http://free-electrons.com/pub/conferences/2013/elce/petazzoni-device-tree-dummies/petazzoni-device-tree-dummies.pdf).....
so it looks like very similar to what Petri is talking about.

ACPI has also a concept of a proximity domains and the relative cost to use
a resource from another domain.

Handling NUMA requires a well thought through approach because it has
implications at many levels in particular for device and driver framework.

Bottom line, regardless if it's value, the introduction of the API seem too
early as I haven't seen the use case that it supports and in particular the
device and drivers framework.

Savolainen, Petri (Nokia - FI/Espoo) Dec. 7, 2016, 11:13 a.m. UTC | #10
I know device trees and how ugly those can be ….  values are not documented but you (your driver) just have to know what some list of four integers (reg = <4, 78865, 6, 565>) may actually mean…

Anyway, the idea here is that

·         an implementation has a way to enumerate resources to the user as names

o   a name may come from a standard or system specific tool (ifconfig), a configuration file (even device trees), etc. API does not dictate how user gets a resource name, or which kind of string  that name is.

·         User passes the name to the application (through command line, config file, env variable). API don’t dictate how that happens.

·         Application passes the name to the implementation and gets a device ID (odp_dev_t), which it uses as a parameter on other calls

Resource discovery/enumeration/management/etc is left to upper layer. API is only needed for passing resource identifier information down to the  implementation. And this is how it should be: ODP is a passive library which does what it’s told to do, the active role is on upper layers (user, scripts, resource management SW, etc entity).

So, no need to defer the API since it’s flexible enough (to pass any kind of string down to implementation). Driver, cloud, etc frameworks may then specify the dev name string format, etc later on, but it would not change the API if a timer is called “timer0” or “timer0:2” or “/proc/soc/0/timer/1” or something else.

ACPI has also a concept of a proximity domains and the relative cost to use a resource from another domain.

Handling NUMA requires a well thought through approach because it has implications at many levels in particular for device and driver framework.

Bottom line, regardless if it's value, the introduction of the API seem too early as I haven't seen the use case that it supports and in particular the device and drivers framework.

This is the Device ID proposal that Petri suggested at BKK16. It is not related to devtree or any other specific taxonomy as the idea was to establish an abstract "device" framework that would support both individual sockets or multi-SoC environments. In odp-linux these are basically placeholder functions as we don't have any cross-platform concept of NUMA. The idea is that each individual platform that does support NUMA should be able to map their native concepts into this framework to permit applications to associate an internal odp_dev_t handle with named devices.

Well, we need to formalize the scope and it looks like this is part of the
Device and Driver Framework (DDF) that Christophe works on.

I have asked Christophe to create a document complementing the patches it
pushed so that we have a human readable reference on what the DDF does and
the general mechanics of it.

For instance the DDF can build a "physical" view of things through the
various device enumerators (from DT to DPAA2 including ACPi, PCI, virtual,
static...). But applications should not care about that. They may care of a
"functional representation" derived from that hardware aspect. For instance
controlling SFP aspects of a port may require controlling a specific PCI
device ID while the port itself is under the control of another PCI device
ID.
Additional information can be found here:
https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/presentation/d/1Ecb9-jA_7jbXtgMVImiTePzpOJsa6IldZMeFdjG8ypQ/edit?usp=sharing

So until we know how (or even if) the proposed API fits in a functional
framework (how it is used by what - application, odp internal, drivers
only...) this is premature to introduce it.

DDF may be part of some implementations, but it's not compulsory. So, DFF must be able utilize dev API, but dev API does not depend on DDF. Dev API needs to provide freedom of implementation.

Weather a device is behind PCI or not (or if SFP is used or not) is far beyond the API level. Application may ask to open "eth0" or "eth10g_backplane", which is the name of an Ethernet port on the blade (on the system). Implementation knows which driver to use for that interface (from system configuration, etc), application does not need to know about drivers or other implementation details of the interface.

Anyway, the idea here is that
•         an implementation has a way to enumerate resources to the user as names
o   a name may come from a standard or system specific tool (ifconfig), a configuration file (even device trees), etc. API does not dictate how user gets a resource name, or which kind of string  that name is.
•         User passes the name to the application (through command line, config file, env variable). API don’t dictate how that happens.
•         Application passes the name to the implementation and gets a device ID (odp_dev_t), which it uses as a parameter on other calls
 
Resource discovery/enumeration/management/etc is left to upper layer. API is only needed for passing resource identifier information down to the  implementation. And this is how it should be: ODP is a passive library which does what it’s told to do, the active role is on upper layers (user, scripts, resource management SW, etc entity).
 
So, no need to defer the API since it’s flexible enough (to pass any kind of string down to implementation). Driver, cloud, etc frameworks may then specify the dev name string format, etc later on, but it would not change the API if a timer is called “timer0” or “timer0:2” or “/proc/soc/0/timer/1” or something else.

This is the Device ID proposal that Petri suggested at BKK16. It is not related to devtree or any other specific taxonomy as the idea was to establish an abstract "device" framework that would support both individual sockets or multi-SoC environments. In odp-linux these are basically placeholder functions as we don't have any cross-platform concept of NUMA. The idea is that each individual platform that does support NUMA should be able to map their native concepts into this framework to permit applications to associate an internal odp_dev_t handle with named devices.

Application may ask to open "eth0" or "eth10g_backplane", which is the name of an Ethernet port on the blade (on the system). Implementation knows which driver to use for that interface (from system configuration, etc), application does not need to know about drivers or other implementation details of the interface.

But applications should not care about that. They may care of a "functional representation" derived from that hardware aspect. For instance controlling SFP aspects of a port may require controlling a specific PCI device ID while the port itself is under the control of another PCI device ID.

And this is how it should be: ODP is a passive library which does what it’s told to do, the active role is on upper layers (user, scripts, resource management SW, etc entity).

Driver, cloud, etc frameworks may then specify the dev name string format, etc later on, but it would not change the API if a timer is called “timer0” or “timer0:2” or “/proc/soc/0/timer/1” or something else.

> This is the Device ID proposal that Petri suggested at BKK16. It is not related to devtree or any other specific taxonomy as the idea was to establish an abstract "device" framework that would support both individual sockets or multi-SoC environments. In odp-linux these are basically placeholder functions as we don't have any cross-platform concept of NUMA. The idea is that each individual platform that does support NUMA should be able to map their native concepts into this framework to permit applications to associate an internal odp_dev_t handle with named devices.
