Commit Message

Sudeep Holla June 26, 2017, 3:55 p.m. UTC
The SCMI is intended to allow OSPM to manage various functions that are
provided by the hardware platform it is running on, including power and
performance functions. SCMI provides two levels of abstraction, protocols
and transports. Protocols define individual groups of system control and
management messages. A protocol specification describes the messages
that it supports. Transports describe the method by which protocol
messages are communicated between agents and the platform.

This patch adds basic infrastructure to manage the message allocation,
initialisation, packing/unpacking and shared memory management.

Yes they can continue that, but SCMI just doesn't depend on that.

Exactly, now with SCMI, every controller *can do* that, as we just care
about the signaling which in other terms I have so far referred as
"doorbell". The data passed should not be used for any other purpose
as there's no need to even by the remote firmware implementing SCMI.

If you read the SCMI specification, it's designed to avoid all such
issues with wide variety of mailbox controller we have in the wild.
And hence all the command and other information are passed in the shared
memory.

What do you mean by abusing the API ?

Exactly, if and only if they adhere to the specification.

OK, if platform had to send some platform specific data, I agree. But
can you point me from the SCPI specification the need for the platforms
to do that. That's the whole point. Transport is just a doorbell nothing
more.

You are trying to fit the existing platform implementation into SCMI
which won't work.

E.g. if TI/Rockchip implements SCMI, they can continue using these
drivers as along as it does the job of "ringing the doorbell".

They may be passing some data today because their existing remote
firmware expects it. With SCMI, they don't have to. These existing
drivers are doing additional job in the current form: passing some data
along with triggering the remote doorbell. We just need latter in SCMI
case as we don't need any data in the transport as it's all part of shmem.

Why do you think that won't work ? Remember all the platform specific
stuff(if platform implement own protocols) in SCMI is moved to the
shared memory and transport just needs to do "doorbell". So I disagree
with your concern unless I am missing something.

Definitely neither SCMI specification nor SCMI driver is ruling out any
class of mailbox controllers as long as there are capable of signaling
the other end that "hey look you have something to check in shared
memory" which I think is the case with most of the controllers.

To be honest this whole mailbox framework is somewhat complex for simple
doorbell kind of this, but hey I am not complaining ;).

Hi Roy, Matt, Nishant, Harb Abdulhamid, Loc,

I have a gut feeling you guys were part of the SCMI spec committee. If
so, could you please chime in?

No, the controllers can not ... unless you clone and adapt the 9
drivers+bindings to conform to the expectations of SCMI (like you
attempted with MHU recently). Also, then mandate every future
controller driver must emulate "doorbell" channels.

As the mailbox maintainer, I am open to suggestions that would allow
every controller to support SCMI.
But compared to the options of scmi-as-a-library and
scmi-as-child-node-of-platform-parent, this does not even qualify as
an option.

Why? Because SCMI is but one protocol that provides 4 features ATM,
and certainly can not provide for every whim and quirk of future
platforms.  Among the sane requirements are watchdog,
suspend/resume/hibernation and thermal _control_ (not just sensor
readings) and among the weird are video, network and storage over
mailbox api. And even a filesystem backed by read/write over mailbox!!
 And these are only that I have worked on first hand.

  The point is : you can not assume SCMI to be the only protocol
running over a controller _and_ you can not dictate other protocols to
not touch certain bits of the signal register/fifo.

In simplest terms, controller driver can not cater to only a
particular client. That's the reason we have the controller driver
define the message format and clients conform to it.

Thanks.

You keep combining the 2 changes. Please treat them differently.
I need ARM MHU doorbell changes as I need to support multiple channels
on my platform which are independent and run different protocol.
That doorbell change *is not SCMI* specific. I am not sure how to conver
that message to you. All my attempts have failed so far.

Why do you think so ? Please give me your understanding on what SCMI
specification expects as you seem to think we need to clone ?
All I am saying is we don't pass any information in the controller.
The current drivers just need a way to trigger the remote and I believe
all of them already have.

That's good to know.

Fine. We need to support them I am not saying that we don't. Please
answer my question above which I believe should reduce the confusion.

NO, I am saying again that I am not assuming that and you are the one
who is assuming MHU *must* work in the way the driver is written
currently and constantly/repeatedly ignoring the fact what MHY
specification states and mixing that change with SCMI here.

100%. You need to understand the fact that my changes makes it work with
SCMI and other protocol and MHU as it stands only work with whatever
platform you have with whatever client that supports.

I take it as no self respecting developer/architect would stand by
your FUBAR implementation of SCMI.

SCMI  calls
    mbox_send_message(struct mbox_chan *chan, struct scmi_xfer *xfer);

whereas the API expects
    mbox_send_message(struct mbox_chan *chan, struct controller_specific *xfer);

As the maintainer I have tried to explain it to you in a dozen ways.
If you still can't see how it's broken, you can't be helped.

Checking out until someone else has any point.
NAK.

That's not hard to change but you seem to have combined my ARM MHU
changes into this which is totally wrong and now I say also stupid after
mentioning the same thing so many times. Consider them independently and
try to understand.

Sorry but you wanted driver to explain initially. I posted them. But you
haven't answer my specific questions yet.
