+The Device Feature List (DFL) FPGA framework (and drivers according to this
+this framework) hides the very details of low layer hardwares and provides
+unified interfaces to userspace. Applications could use these interfaces to
+configure, enumerate, open and access FPGA accelerators on platforms which
+implement the DFL in the device memory. Besides this, the DFL framework
+enables system level management functions such as FPGA reconfiguration.
+
+
+Device Feature List (DFL) Overview
+==================================
+Device Feature List (DFL) defines a linked list of feature headers within the
+device MMIO space to provide an extensible way of adding features. Software can
+walk through these predefined data structures to enumerate FPGA features:
+FPGA Interface Unit (FIU), Accelerated Function Unit (AFU) and Private Features,
+as illustrated below::
+
+ Header Header Header Header
+ +----------+ +-->+----------+ +-->+----------+ +-->+----------+
+ | Type | | | Type | | | Type | | | Type |
+ | FIU | | | Private | | | Private | | | Private |
+ +----------+ | | Feature | | | Feature | | | Feature |
+ | Next_DFH |--+ +----------+ | +----------+ | +----------+
+ +----------+ | Next_DFH |--+ | Next_DFH |--+ | Next_DFH |--> NULL
+ | ID | +----------+ +----------+ +----------+
+ +----------+ | ID | | ID | | ID |
+ | Next_AFU |--+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+
+ +----------+ | | Feature | | Feature | | Feature |
+ | Header | | | Register | | Register | | Register |
+ | Register | | | Set | | Set | | Set |
+ | Set | | +----------+ +----------+ +----------+
+ +----------+ | Header
+ +-->+----------+
+ | Type |
+ | AFU |
+ +----------+
+ | Next_DFH |--> NULL
+ +----------+
+ | GUID |
+ +----------+
+ | Header |
+ | Register |
+ | Set |
+ +----------+
+
+FPGA Interface Unit (FIU) represents a standalone functional unit for the
+interface to FPGA, e.g. the FPGA Management Engine (FME) and Port (more
+descriptions on FME and Port in later sections).
+
+Accelerated Function Unit (AFU) represents a FPGA programmable region and
+always connects to a FIU (e.g. a Port) as its child as illustrated above.
+
+Private Features represent sub features of the FIU and AFU. They could be
+various function blocks with different IDs, but all private features which
+belong to the same FIU or AFU, must be linked to one list via the Next Device
+Feature Header (Next_DFH) pointer.
+
+Each FIU, AFU and Private Feature could implement its own functional registers.
+The functional register set for FIU and AFU, is named as Header Register Set,
+e.g. FME Header Register Set, and the one for Private Feature, is named as
+Feature Register Set, e.g. FME Partial Reconfiguration Feature Register Set.
+
+This Device Feature List provides a way of linking features together, it's
+convenient for software to locate each feature by walking through this list,
+and can be implemented in register regions of any FPGA device.
+
+
+FIU - FME (FPGA Management Engine)
+==================================
+The FPGA Management Engine performs reconfiguration and other infrastructure
+functions. Each FPGA device only has one FME.
+
+User-space applications can acquire exclusive access to the FME using open(),
+and release it using close().
+
+The following functions are exposed through ioctls:
+
+- Get driver API version (DFL_FPGA_GET_API_VERSION)
+- Check for extensions (DFL_FPGA_CHECK_EXTENSION)
+- Program bitstream (DFL_FPGA_FME_PORT_PR)
+- Assign port to PF (DFL_FPGA_FME_PORT_ASSIGN)
+- Release port from PF (DFL_FPGA_FME_PORT_RELEASE)
+
+More functions are exposed through sysfs
+(/sys/class/fpga_region/regionX/dfl-fme.n/):
+
+ Read bitstream ID (bitstream_id)
+ bitstream_id indicates version of the static FPGA region.
+
+ Read bitstream metadata (bitstream_metadata)
+ bitstream_metadata includes detailed information of static FPGA region,
+ e.g. synthesis date and seed.
+
+ Read number of ports (ports_num)
+ one FPGA device may have more than one port, this sysfs interface indicates
+ how many ports the FPGA device has.
+
+ Global error reporting management (errors/)
+ error reporting sysfs interfaces allow user to read errors detected by the
+ hardware, and clear the logged errors.
+
+
+FIU - PORT
+==========
+A port represents the interface between the static FPGA fabric and a partially
+reconfigurable region containing an AFU. It controls the communication from SW
+to the accelerator and exposes features such as reset and debug. Each FPGA
+device may have more than one port, but always one AFU per port.
+
+
+AFU
+===
+An AFU is attached to a port FIU and exposes a fixed length MMIO region to be
+used for accelerator-specific control registers.
+
+User-space applications can acquire exclusive access to an AFU attached to a
+port by using open() on the port device node and release it using close().
+
+The following functions are exposed through ioctls:
+
+- Get driver API version (DFL_FPGA_GET_API_VERSION)
+- Check for extensions (DFL_FPGA_CHECK_EXTENSION)
+- Get port info (DFL_FPGA_PORT_GET_INFO)
+- Get MMIO region info (DFL_FPGA_PORT_GET_REGION_INFO)
+- Map DMA buffer (DFL_FPGA_PORT_DMA_MAP)
+- Unmap DMA buffer (DFL_FPGA_PORT_DMA_UNMAP)
+- Reset AFU (DFL_FPGA_PORT_RESET)
+
+DFL_FPGA_PORT_RESET:
+ reset the FPGA Port and its AFU. Userspace can do Port
+ reset at any time, e.g. during DMA or Partial Reconfiguration. But it should
+ never cause any system level issue, only functional failure (e.g. DMA or PR
+ operation failure) and be recoverable from the failure.
+
+User-space applications can also mmap() accelerator MMIO regions.
+
+More functions are exposed through sysfs:
+(/sys/class/fpga_region/<regionX>/<dfl-port.m>/):
+
+ Read Accelerator GUID (afu_id)
+ afu_id indicates which PR bitstream is programmed to this AFU.
+
+ Error reporting (errors/)
+ error reporting sysfs interfaces allow user to read port/afu errors
+ detected by the hardware, and clear the logged errors.
+
+
+DFL Framework Overview
+======================
+
+::
+
+ +----------+ +--------+ +--------+ +--------+
+ | FME | | AFU | | AFU | | AFU |
+ | Module | | Module | | Module | | Module |
+ +----------+ +--------+ +--------+ +--------+
+ +-----------------------+
+ | FPGA Container Device | Device Feature List
+ | (FPGA Base Region) | Framework
+ +-----------------------+
+ ------------------------------------------------------------------
+ +----------------------------+
+ | FPGA DFL Device Module |
+ | (e.g. PCIE/Platform Device)|
+ +----------------------------+
+ +------------------------+
+ | FPGA Hardware Device |
+ +------------------------+
+
+DFL framework in kernel provides common interfaces to create container device
+(FPGA base region), discover feature devices and their private features from the
+given Device Feature Lists and create platform devices for feature devices
+(e.g. FME, Port and AFU) with related resources under the container device. It
+also abstracts operations for the private features and exposes common ops to
+feature device drivers.
+
+The FPGA DFL Device could be different hardwares, e.g. PCIe device, platform
+device and etc. Its driver module is always loaded first once the device is
+created by the system. This driver plays an infrastructural role in the
+driver architecture. It locates the DFLs in the device memory, handles them
+and related resources to common interfaces from DFL framework for enumeration.
+(Please refer to drivers/fpga/dfl.c for detailed enumeration APIs).
+
+The FPGA Management Engine (FME) driver is a platform driver which is loaded
+automatically after FME platform device creation from the DFL device module. It
+provides the key features for FPGA management, including:
+
+ a) Expose static FPGA region information, e.g. version and metadata.
+ Users can read related information via sysfs interfaces exposed
+ by FME driver.
+
+ b) Partial Reconfiguration. The FME driver creates FPGA manager, FPGA
+ bridges and FPGA regions during PR sub feature initialization. Once
+ it receives a DFL_FPGA_FME_PORT_PR ioctl from user, it invokes the
+ common interface function from FPGA Region to complete the partial
+ reconfiguration of the PR bitstream to the given port.
+
+Similar to the FME driver, the FPGA Accelerated Function Unit (AFU) driver is
+probed once the AFU platform device is created. The main function of this module
+is to provide an interface for userspace applications to access the individual
+accelerators, including basic reset control on port, AFU MMIO region export, dma
+buffer mapping service functions.
+
+After feature platform devices creation, matched platform drivers will be loaded
+automatically to handle different functionalities. Please refer to next sections
+for detailed information on functional units which have been already implemented
+under this DFL framework.
+
+
+Partial Reconfiguration
+=======================
+As mentioned above, accelerators can be reconfigured through partial
+reconfiguration of a PR bitstream file. The PR bitstream file must have been
+generated for the exact static FPGA region and targeted reconfigurable region
+(port) of the FPGA, otherwise, the reconfiguration operation will fail and
+possibly cause system instability. This compatibility can be checked by
+comparing the compatibility ID noted in the header of PR bitstream file against
+the compat_id exposed by the target FPGA region. This check is usually done by
+userspace before calling the reconfiguration IOCTL.
+
+
+FPGA virtualization - PCIe SRIOV
+================================
+This section describes the virtualization support on DFL based FPGA device to
+enable accessing an accelerator from applications running in a virtual machine
+(VM). This section only describes the PCIe based FPGA device with SRIOV support.
+
+Features supported by the particular FPGA device are exposed through Device
+Feature Lists, as illustrated below:
+
+::
+
+ +-------------------------------+ +-------------+
+ | PF | | VF |
+ +-------------------------------+ +-------------+
+ ^ ^ ^ ^
+ | | | |
+ +-----|------------|---------|--------------|-------+
+ | | | | | |
+ | +-----+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ |
+ | | FME | | Port0 | | Port1 | | Port2 | |
+ | +-----+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ |
+ | ^ ^ ^ |
+ | | | | |
+ | +-------+ +------+ +-------+ |
+ | | AFU | | AFU | | AFU | |
+ | +-------+ +------+ +-------+ |
+ | |
+ | DFL based FPGA PCIe Device |
+ +---------------------------------------------------+
+
+FME is always accessed through the physical function (PF).
+
+Ports (and related AFUs) are accessed via PF by default, but could be exposed
+through virtual function (VF) devices via PCIe SRIOV. Each VF only contains
+1 Port and 1 AFU for isolation. Users could assign individual VFs (accelerators)
+created via PCIe SRIOV interface, to virtual machines.
+
+The driver organization in virtualization case is illustrated below:
+::
+
+ +-------++------++------+ |
+ | FME || FME || FME | |
+ | FPGA || FPGA || FPGA | |
+ |Manager||Bridge||Region| |
+ +-------++------++------+ |
+ +-----------------------+ +--------+ | +--------+
+ | FME | | AFU | | | AFU |
+ | Module | | Module | | | Module |
+ +-----------------------+ +--------+ | +--------+
+ +-----------------------+ | +-----------------------+
+ | FPGA Container Device | | | FPGA Container Device |
+ | (FPGA Base Region) | | | (FPGA Base Region) |
+ +-----------------------+ | +-----------------------+
+ +------------------+ | +------------------+
+ | FPGA PCIE Module | | Virtual | FPGA PCIE Module |
+ +------------------+ Host | Machine +------------------+
+ -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------
+ +---------------+ | +---------------+
+ | PCI PF Device | | | PCI VF Device |
+ +---------------+ | +---------------+
+
+FPGA PCIe device driver is always loaded first once a FPGA PCIe PF or VF device
+is detected. It:
+
+* Finishes enumeration on both FPGA PCIe PF and VF device using common
+ interfaces from DFL framework.
+* Supports SRIOV.
+
+The FME device driver plays a management role in this driver architecture, it
+provides ioctls to release Port from PF and assign Port to PF. After release
+a port from PF, then it's safe to expose this port through a VF via PCIe SRIOV
+sysfs interface.
+
+To enable accessing an accelerator from applications running in a VM, the
+respective AFU's port needs to be assigned to a VF using the following steps:
+
+#. The PF owns all AFU ports by default. Any port that needs to be
+ reassigned to a VF must first be released through the
+ DFL_FPGA_FME_PORT_RELEASE ioctl on the FME device.
+
+#. Once N ports are released from PF, then user can use command below
+ to enable SRIOV and VFs. Each VF owns only one Port with AFU.
+
+ ::
+
+ echo N > $PCI_DEVICE_PATH/sriov_numvfs
+
+#. Pass through the VFs to VMs
+
+#. The AFU under VF is accessible from applications in VM (using the
+ same driver inside the VF).
+
+Note that an FME can't be assigned to a VF, thus PR and other management
+functions are only available via the PF.
+
+Device enumeration
+==================
+This section introduces how applications enumerate the fpga device from
+the sysfs hierarchy under /sys/class/fpga_region.
+
+In the example below, two DFL based FPGA devices are installed in the host. Each
+fpga device has one FME and two ports (AFUs).
+
+FPGA regions are created under /sys/class/fpga_region/::
+
+ /sys/class/fpga_region/region0
+ /sys/class/fpga_region/region1
+ /sys/class/fpga_region/region2
+ ...
+
+Application needs to search each regionX folder, if feature device is found,
+(e.g. "dfl-port.n" or "dfl-fme.m" is found), then it's the base
+fpga region which represents the FPGA device.
+
+Each base region has one FME and two ports (AFUs) as child devices::
+
+ /sys/class/fpga_region/region0/dfl-fme.0
+ /sys/class/fpga_region/region0/dfl-port.0
+ /sys/class/fpga_region/region0/dfl-port.1
+ ...
+
+ /sys/class/fpga_region/region3/dfl-fme.1
+ /sys/class/fpga_region/region3/dfl-port.2
+ /sys/class/fpga_region/region3/dfl-port.3
+ ...
+
+In general, the FME/AFU sysfs interfaces are named as follows::
+
+ /sys/class/fpga_region/<regionX>/<dfl-fme.n>/
+ /sys/class/fpga_region/<regionX>/<dfl-port.m>/
+
+with 'n' consecutively numbering all FMEs and 'm' consecutively numbering all
+ports.
+
+The device nodes used for ioctl() or mmap() can be referenced through::
+
+ /sys/class/fpga_region/<regionX>/<dfl-fme.n>/dev
+ /sys/class/fpga_region/<regionX>/<dfl-port.n>/dev
+
+
+Add new FIUs support
+====================
+It's possible that developers made some new function blocks (FIUs) under this
+DFL framework, then new platform device driver needs to be developed for the
+new feature dev (FIU) following the same way as existing feature dev drivers
+(e.g. FME and Port/AFU platform device driver). Besides that, it requires
+modification on DFL framework enumeration code too, for new FIU type detection
+and related platform devices creation.
+
+
+Add new private features support
+================================
+In some cases, we may need to add some new private features to existing FIUs
+(e.g. FME or Port). Developers don't need to touch enumeration code in DFL
+framework, as each private feature will be parsed automatically and related
+mmio resources can be found under FIU platform device created by DFL framework.
+Developer only needs to provide a sub feature driver with matched feature id.
+FME Partial Reconfiguration Sub Feature driver (see drivers/fpga/dfl-fme-pr.c)
+could be a reference.
+
+
+Open discussion
+===============
+FME driver exports one ioctl (DFL_FPGA_FME_PORT_PR) for partial reconfiguration
+to user now. In the future, if unified user interfaces for reconfiguration are
+added, FME driver should switch to them from ioctl interface.
