Expand description

Implemented by devices which have a PCI config space.

Required Methods§

Source

fn pci_cfg_read(&mut self, offset: u16, value: &mut u32) -> IoResult

Dispatch a PCI config space read to the device with the given address.

Source

fn pci_cfg_write(&mut self, offset: u16, value: u32) -> IoResult

Dispatch a PCI config space write to the device with the given address.

Provided Methods§

Source

fn pci_cfg_read_with_routing( &mut self, secondary_bus: u8, target_bus: u8, function: u8, offset: u16, value: &mut u32, ) -> IoResult

Handle a PCI configuration space read with full routing context.

This method receives configuration space accesses with the target bus and function number. The interpretation of function depends on the bus topology: on a legacy PCI bus it carries packed device/function bits (0..=255), while downstream of a PCIe port the device number is always zero so all 8 bits represent functions within a single endpoint.

A device can distinguish Type 0 (local) from Type 1 (forwarded) configuration cycles by comparing target_bus and secondary_bus: when they are equal the access targets this device directly (Type 0), otherwise it should be routed downstream (Type 1). An SR-IOV capable device can use secondary_bus together with target_bus and function to compute the VF number.

The default implementation dispatches function 0 to pci_cfg_read and returns all-1s for other functions (the standard “no device present” response). Routing components (switches, bridges) and multi-function devices should override this method.

§Parameters
  • secondary_bus: The secondary bus number of the downstream port that forwarded this access
  • target_bus: The bus number targeted by the configuration access
  • function: Device/function identifier — packed device/function on a legacy bus, or flat function number on PCIe
  • offset: Configuration space offset
  • value: Pointer to receive the read value

fn pci_cfg_write_with_routing( &mut self, secondary_bus: u8, target_bus: u8, function: u8, offset: u16, value: u32, ) -> IoResult

Handle a PCI configuration space write with full routing context.

This method receives configuration space accesses with the target bus and function number. The interpretation of function depends on the bus topology: on a legacy PCI bus it carries packed device/function bits (0..=255), while downstream of a PCIe port the device number is always zero so all 8 bits represent functions within a single endpoint.

An SR-IOV capable device can use secondary_bus together with target_bus and function to compute the VF number.

The default implementation dispatches function 0 to pci_cfg_write and silently drops writes to other functions. Routing components (switches, bridges) and multi-function devices should override this method.

§Parameters
  • secondary_bus: The secondary bus number of the downstream port that forwarded this access
  • target_bus: The bus number targeted by the configuration access
  • function: Device/function identifier — packed device/function on a legacy bus, or flat function number on PCIe
  • offset: Configuration space offset
  • value: Value to write

fn suggested_bdf(&mut self) -> Option<(u8, u8, u8)>

Check if the device has a suggested (bus, device, function) it expects to be located at.

The term “suggested” is important here, as it’s important to note that one of the major selling points of PCI was that PCI devices shouldn’t need to care about about what PCI address they are initialized at. i.e: on a physical machine, it shouldn’t matter that your fancy GTX 4090 is plugged into the first vs. second PCI slot.

..that said, there are some instances where it makes sense for an emulated device to declare its suggested PCI address:

  1. Devices that emulate bespoke PCI devices part of a particular system’s chipset.
  • e.g: the PIIX4 chipset includes several bespoke PCI devices that are required to have specific PCI addresses. While it would be possible to relocate them to a different address, it may break OSes that assume they exist at those spec-declared addresses.
  1. Multi-function PCI devices
  • In an unfortunate case of inverted responsibilities, there is a single bit in the PCI configuration space’s Header register that denotes if a particular PCI card includes multiple functions.
  • Since multi-function devices are pretty rare, ChipsetDevice opted to model each function as its own device, which in turn implies that in order to correctly init a multi-function PCI card, the ChipsetDevice with function 0 must report if there are other functions at the same bus and device.
