Introduction - -The Linux I2O subsystem provides a set of ioctl() commands that can be -utilized by user space applications to communicate with IOPs and devices -on individual IOPs. This document defines the specific ioctl() commands -that are available to the user and provides examples of their uses. - -This document assumes the reader is familiar with or has access to the -I2O specification as no I2O message parameters are outlined. For information -on the specification, see http://www.i2osig.org - -This document and the I2O user space interface are currently maintained -by Deepak Saxena. Please send all comments, errata, and bug fixes to -deepak@csociety.purdue.edu - -II. IOP Access - -Access to the I2O subsystem is provided through the device file named -/dev/i2o/ctl. This file is a character file with major number 10 and minor -number 166. It can be created through the following command: - - mknod /dev/i2o/ctl c 10 166 - -III. Determining the IOP Count - - SYNOPSIS - - ioctl(fd, I2OGETIOPS, int *count); - - u8 count[MAX_I2O_CONTROLLERS]; - - DESCRIPTION - - This function returns the system's active IOP table. count should - point to a buffer containing MAX_I2O_CONTROLLERS entries. Upon - returning, each entry will contain a non-zero value if the given - IOP unit is active, and NULL if it is inactive or non-existent. - - RETURN VALUE. - - Returns 0 if no errors occur, and -1 otherwise. If an error occurs, - errno is set appropriately: - - EFAULT Invalid user space pointer was passed - -IV. Getting Hardware Resource Table - - SYNOPSIS - - ioctl(fd, I2OHRTGET, struct i2o_cmd_hrt *hrt); - - struct i2o_cmd_hrtlct - { - u32 iop; /* IOP unit number */ - void *resbuf; /* Buffer for result */ - u32 *reslen; /* Buffer length in bytes */ - }; - - DESCRIPTION - - This function returns the Hardware Resource Table of the IOP specified - by hrt->iop in the buffer pointed to by hrt->resbuf. The actual size of - the data is written into *(hrt->reslen). - - RETURNS - - This function returns 0 if no errors occur. If an error occurs, -1 - is returned and errno is set appropriately: - - EFAULT Invalid user space pointer was passed - ENXIO Invalid IOP number - ENOBUFS Buffer not large enough. If this occurs, the required - buffer length is written into *(hrt->reslen) - -V. Getting Logical Configuration Table - - SYNOPSIS - - ioctl(fd, I2OLCTGET, struct i2o_cmd_lct *lct); - - struct i2o_cmd_hrtlct - { - u32 iop; /* IOP unit number */ - void *resbuf; /* Buffer for result */ - u32 *reslen; /* Buffer length in bytes */ - }; - - DESCRIPTION - - This function returns the Logical Configuration Table of the IOP specified - by lct->iop in the buffer pointed to by lct->resbuf. The actual size of - the data is written into *(lct->reslen). - - RETURNS - - This function returns 0 if no errors occur. If an error occurs, -1 - is returned and errno is set appropriately: - - EFAULT Invalid user space pointer was passed - ENXIO Invalid IOP number - ENOBUFS Buffer not large enough.

The operation list for the message is - sent through the ops->opbuf buffer, and the result list is written - into the buffer pointed to by ops->resbuf. The number of bytes - written is placed into *(ops->reslen). - - RETURNS - - The return value is the size in bytes of the data written into - ops->resbuf if no errors occur. If an error occurs, -1 is returned - and errno is set appropriately: - - EFAULT Invalid user space pointer was passed - ENXIO Invalid IOP number - ENOBUFS Buffer not large enough. If this occurs, the required - buffer length is written into *(ops->reslen) - ETIMEDOUT Timeout waiting for reply message - ENOMEM Kernel memory allocation error - - A return value of 0 does not mean that the value was actually - changed properly on the IOP. The user should check the result - list to determine the specific status of the transaction. - -VII.

IOP uses - *(sw->swlen) value to verify correct identication of the module to remove. - The actual size of the module is written into *(sw->swlen). - - RETURNS - - This function returns 0 if no errors occur. If an error occurs, -1 - is returned and errno is set appropriately: - - EFAULT Invalid user space pointer was passed - ENXIO Invalid IOP number - ETIMEDOUT Timeout waiting for reply message - ENOMEM Kernel memory allocation error - -X. Validating Configuration - - SYNOPSIS - - ioctl(fd, I2OVALIDATE, int *iop); - u32 iop; - - DESCRIPTION - - This function posts an ExecConfigValidate message to the controller - identified by iop. This message indicates that the current - configuration is accepted. The iop changes the status of suspect drivers - to valid and may delete old drivers from its store. - - RETURNS - - This function returns 0 if no erro occur. If an error occurs, -1 is - returned and errno is set appropriately: - - ETIMEDOUT Timeout waiting for reply message - ENXIO Invalid IOP number - -XI.

The requested HTML page number is - provided by the htquery->page field, and the resultant data is stored - in the buffer pointed to by htquery->resbuf. If there is an HTTP query - string that is to be sent to the device, it should be sent in the buffer - pointed to by htquery->qbuf. If there is no query string, this field - should be set to NULL. The actual size of the reply received is written - into *(htquery->reslen). - - RETURNS - - This function returns 0 if no error occur. If an error occurs, -1 - is returned and errno is set appropriately: - - EFAULT Invalid user space pointer was passed - ENXIO Invalid IOP number - ENOBUFS Buffer not large enough. If this occurs, the required - buffer length is written into *(ops->reslen) - ETIMEDOUT Timeout waiting for reply message - ENOMEM Kernel memory allocation error - -XII. Events - - In the process of determining this. Current idea is to have use - the select() interface to allow user apps to periodically poll - the /dev/i2o/ctl device for events. When select() notifies the user - that an event is available, the user would call read() to retrieve - a list of all the events that are pending for the specific device. - -============================================================================= -Revision History -============================================================================= - -Rev 0.1 - 04/01/99 -- Initial revision - -Rev 0.2 - 04/06/99 -- Changed return values to match UNIX ioctl() standard. Only return values - are 0 and -1. All errors are reported through errno. -- Added summary of proposed possible event interfaces - -Rev 0.3 - 04/20/99 -- Changed all ioctls() to use pointers to user data instead of actual data -- Updated error values to match the code |
