Video DMA Support Design Note
The video port needs to expose the following apis:
1) PUBLIC
BOOLEAN
VideoPortDoDma(
IN PVOID HwDeviceExtension,
IN PVIDEO_REQUEST_PACKET pVrp
);
This function:
a) allocates the MDL associated with the InputBuffer
contained in the pVrp.
b) maps the buffers if required by the hardware
c) flushes the system buffers for cache coherency
d)computes the number of map registers requested
and checks that this number satisfies system requirements
e) saves some parameters needed for subsequent
Io calls such as the associated virtual MDL address, the
number of map registers
f) calls IoAllocateAdapterChannel, providiong a callback which
builds the scatter gather list.
Requirements: A mechanism to save the arguments to IoMapTransfer
and a mechanism to indicate that a DPC is to be scheduled. The
argments to IoMapTransfer are:
PADAPTER_OBJECT pAO
Returned from a call to HalGetAdapter and stored
in the DEVICE_EXTENSION.
If the actual transfer is desired, this is non NULL.
If only the physical address is desired, this parameter
can be NULL.
PMDL pMdl
Extracted from irp returned from
IoBuildDeviceIoControlRequest. (also possible to get irp
from IoBuildAsynchronousFsdRequest).
PVOID pMapRegisterBase
Allocated via ExAllocatePool from nonpaged pool of length
dependent on bus type. Filled by Io subsystem via a call
to HalGetBusData and held in the video ports
DEVICE_EXTENSION.
PVOID pCurrentVirtualAddress
Constructed from LogicalAddress and
MmGetMdlVirtualAddress(Irp->MdlAddress).
PULONG pLength
Pointer to amount to be transferred. Value saved in
PUBLIC_VIDEO_REQUEST_BLOCK.
BOOLEAN WriteToDevice
Always set for video.
2) PVOID
VideoPortGetCommonBuffer(
IN PVOID HwDeviceExtension,
IN PVIDEO_REQUEST_PACKET pVrp,
IN ULONG Length,
OUT PPHYSICAL_ADDRESS pLogicalAddress,
IN BOOLEAN CacheEnabled
);
This routine allows the miniport to allocate a common buffer in
which to store miniport specific data.
3) PVOID
VideoPortGetCommonBuffer(
IN PVOID HwDeviceExtension,
IN PVIDEO_REQUEST_PACKET pVrp,
IN ULONG Length,
OUT PPHYSICAL_ADDRESS pLogicalAddress,
IN BOOLEAN CacheEnabled
);
This routine allows the miniport to allocate a common buffer in
which to store miniport specific data. This buffer is visible both to the
system and the device and appears contiguous to the device.
In support of each of these functions, the following can be added to the
DEVICE_EXTENSION video port data structure:
PVOID MapRegisterBase
PADAPTER_OBJECT pDmaAdapterObject
DMA_PARAMETERS FlushDmaParameters
DMA_PARAMETERS MapTransferParameters
PHW_DMA_STARTED HwDmaStarted
BOOLEAN bMapBuffers
where
MapRegisterBase is as specified above.
PADAPTER_OBJECT is defined by Io subsystem
DMA_PARAMETERS, is of the form
typedef struct __DMA_PARAMETERS {
PPUBLIC_VIDEO_REQUEST_BLOCK pVideoRequestBlock;
PIRP pIrp;
ULONG DataOffset;
ULONG VRBFlags;
PVOID pMapRegisterBase;
ULONG NumberOfMapRegisters;
PVOID pLogicalAddress;
ULONG Length;
PVOID MdlAddress;
PVRB_SG pScatterGather;
VRB_SG SGList[17];
} DMA_PARAMETERS, *PDMA_PARAMETERS;
which needs to be a field of the Parameters field of the IrpStack as well
as a field in the interrupt data owned by the miniport and where
PPUBLIC_VIDEO_REQUEST_BLOCK may be defined by
typedef struct __PUBLIC_VIDEO_REQUEST_BLOCK {
// Private stuff.
PIRP pIrp;
ULONG VRBFlags;
ULONG Qindex;
// Public stuff.
VIDEO_REQUEST_PACKET vrp;
BOOLEAN bUnlock;
} PUBLIC_VIDEO_REQUEST_BLOCK, *PPUBLIC_VIDEO_REQUEST_BLOCK;
with VRB_SG defined by
typedef struct __VRB_SG {
int64 PhysicalAddress;
ULONG Length;
} VRB_SG, *PVRB_SG;
Useful flags for VRBFlags in DMA_PARAMETERS:
DMA_FLUSH_ADAPTER
MAP_DMA_TRANSFER
FREE_SG
NOTIFY_REQUIRED.
Also in PORT_CONFIG_INFO, the following are required:
ULONG DmaChannel
ULONG DmaPort
DMA_WIDTH DmaWidth
DMA_SPEED DmaSpeed
BOOLEAN DMA32bitAddresses
BOOLEAN DMADemandMode
One of the dependencies that supporting DMA transfers has in NT is calling
IoAllocateAdapterChannel.
This routine is of the form:
NTSTATUS
IoAllocateAdapterChannel(
PADAPTER_OBJECT pAO,
PDEVICE_OBJECT pDO,
ULONG NumberOfRegisters,
PDRIVER_CONTROL pBuildScatterGather,
PVOID pContext
);
where pAO is returned by HalGetAdapter,
pDO is returned by IoCreateDevice
NumberOfRegisters comes from a calculation involving the
DataBuffer to be transferred and it's length.
pBuildScatterGather builds the scatter/gather list and is a
callback from the Io subsystem.
pContext is the context pointer passed into pBuildScatterGather
by Io subsystem (PDMA_PARAMETERS).
If the miniport has indicated that DMA support is desired, then the
following sequence of system calls are made:
MmGetMdlVirtualAddress (to save IoMapTransfer params)
MmGetSystemAddressForMdl (if MapBuffers set)
KeFlushIoBuffers
IoAllocateAdapterChannel (request a DPC if this fails)
KeSynchronizeExecution
IoMapTransfer (note PADAPTER_OBJECT)
IoFlushAdapterBuffers
IoFreeMapRegisters
The Io subsystem calls back to a routine to build scatter gather lists
of the form:
IO_PRIVATE
IO_ALLOCATION_ACTION
pVideoPortBuildScatterGather(
PDEVICE_OBJECT pDO,
PIRP pIrp,
PVOID pMapRegisterBase,
PVOID pDmaParameters
);
As mentioned, it builds and saves the scatter gather lists, and calls
KeSynchronizeExecution, passing in pVideoPortStartDmaSynchronized as
the synchronizing function. pVideoPortStartDmaSynchronized in turn calls
HwStartDma, which is not to return until the device has finished draining
the current request data.
IOCTL interface
IOCTL_VIDEO_DMA_INIT - set by DispDrvr
Causes VideoPortGetCommonBuffer() to be called by miniport.
IOCTL_VIDEO_DMA_TRANSFER - set by DispDrvr
Causes VideoPortDoDma() to be called by miniport.
VideoPortGetScatterGatherList is called from miniport.
IOCTL_VIDEO_DMA_UNLOCK_PAGES - set by DispDrvr
Causes pVideoPortUnlock to be called from videoport. Note that
this IOCTL is private to the videoport.
