      cxl: Driver code for powernv PCIe based cards for userspace access · f204e0b8
      Ian Munsie 提交于
      This is the core of the cxl driver.
      
      It adds support for using cxl cards in the powernv environment only (ie POWER8
      bare metal). It allows access to cxl accelerators by userspace using the
      /dev/cxl/afuM.N char devices.
      
      The kernel driver has no knowledge of the function implemented by the
      accelerator. It provides services to userspace via the /dev/cxl/afuM.N
      devices. When a program opens this device and runs the start work IOCTL, the
      accelerator will have coherent access to that processes memory using the same
      virtual addresses. That process may mmap the device to access any MMIO space
      the accelerator provides.  Also, reads on the device will allow interrupts to
      be received. These services are further documented in a later patch in
      Documentation/powerpc/cxl.txt.
      
      Documentation of the cxl hardware architecture and userspace API is provided in
      subsequent patches.
