      GenWQE Character device and DDCB queue · eaf4722d
      Frank Haverkamp 提交于
      The GenWQE card itself provides access to a generic work queue into
      which the work can be put, which should be executed, e.g. compression
      or decompression request, or whatever the card was configured to do.
      
      Each request comes with a set of input data (ASV) and will produce some
      output data (ASIV). The request will also contain a sequence number,
      some timestamps and a command code/subcode plus some fields for hardware-/
      software-interaction.
      
      A request can contain references to blocks of memory. Since the card
      requires DMA-addresses of that memory, the driver provides two ways to
      solve that task:
        1) The drivers mmap() will allocate some DMAable memory for the user.
           The driver has a lookup table such that the virtual userspace
           address can properly be replaced and checked.
        2) The user allocates memory and the driver will pin/unpin that
           memory and setup a scatter gatherlist with matching DMA addresses.
      
      Currently work requests are synchronous.
