DESCRIPTION
The pci set of functions are used for managing PCI devices. The functions are split into several groups:
raw configuration access, locating devices, device information, device configuration, and message
signaled interrupts.
Raw Configuration Access
The pci_read_config() function is used to read data from the PCI configuration space of the device dev,
at offset reg, with width specifying the size of the access.
The pci_write_config() function is used to write the value val to the PCI configuration space of the
device dev, at offset reg, with width specifying the size of the access.
NOTE: Device drivers should only use these functions for functionality that is not available via another
pci() function.
Locating Devices
The pci_find_bsf() function looks up the device_t of a PCI device, given its bus, slot, and func. The
slot number actually refers to the number of the device on the bus, which does not necessarily indicate
its geographic location in terms of a physical slot. Note that in case the system has multiple PCI
domains, the pci_find_bsf() function only searches the first one. Actually, it is equivalent to:
pci_find_dbsf(0, bus, slot, func);
The pci_find_dbsf() function looks up the device_t of a PCI device, given its domain, bus, slot, and
func. The slot number actually refers to the number of the device on the bus, which does not necessarily
indicate its geographic location in terms of a physical slot.
The pci_find_device() function looks up the device_t of a PCI device, given its vendor and device IDs.
Note that there can be multiple matches for this search; this function only returns the first matching
device.
Device Information
The pci_find_cap() function is used to locate the first instance of a PCI capability register set for the
device dev. The capability to locate is specified by ID via capability. Constant macros of the form
PCIY_xxx for standard capability IDs are defined in <dev/pci/pcireg.h>. If the capability is found, then
*capreg is set to the offset in configuration space of the capability register set, and pci_find_cap()
returns zero. If the capability is not found or the device does not support capabilities, pci_find_cap()
returns an error.
The pci_find_extcap() function is used to locate the first instance of a PCI-express extended capability
register set for the device dev. The extended capability to locate is specified by ID via capability.
Constant macros of the form PCIZ_xxx for standard extended capability IDs are defined in
<dev/pci/pcireg.h>. If the extended capability is found, then *capreg is set to the offset in
configuration space of the extended capability register set, and pci_find_extcap() returns zero. If the
extended capability is not found or the device is not a PCI-express device, pci_find_extcap() returns an
error.
The pci_find_htcap() function is used to locate the first instance of a HyperTransport capability
register set for the device dev. The capability to locate is specified by type via capability. Constant
macros of the form PCIM_HTCAP_xxx for standard HyperTransport capability types are defined in
<dev/pci/pcireg.h>. If the capability is found, then *capreg is set to the offset in configuration space
of the capability register set, and pci_find_htcap() returns zero. If the capability is not found or the
device is not a HyperTransport device, pci_find_htcap() returns an error.
The pci_get_vpd_ident() function is used to fetch a device's Vital Product Data (VPD) identifier string.
If the device dev supports VPD and provides an identifier string, then *identptr is set to point at a
read-only, null-terminated copy of the identifier string, and pci_get_vpd_ident() returns zero. If the
device does not support VPD or does not provide an identifier string, then pci_get_vpd_ident() returns an
error.
The pci_get_vpd_readonly() function is used to fetch the value of a single VPD read-only keyword for the
device dev. The keyword to fetch is identified by the two character string kw. If the device supports
VPD and provides a read-only value for the requested keyword, then *vptr is set to point at a read-only,
null-terminated copy of the value, and pci_get_vpd_readonly() returns zero. If the device does not
support VPD or does not provide the requested keyword, then pci_get_vpd_readonly() returns an error.
Device Configuration
The pci_enable_busmaster() function enables PCI bus mastering for the device dev, by setting the
PCIM_CMD_BUSMASTEREN bit in the PCIR_COMMAND register. The pci_disable_busmaster() function clears this
bit.
The pci_enable_io() function enables memory or I/O port address decoding for the device dev, by setting
the PCIM_CMD_MEMEN or PCIM_CMD_PORTEN bit in the PCIR_COMMAND register appropriately. The
pci_disable_io() function clears the appropriate bit. The space argument specifies which resource is
affected; this can be either SYS_RES_MEMORY or SYS_RES_IOPORT as appropriate. Device drivers should
generally not use these routines directly. The PCI bus will enable decoding automatically when a
SYS_RES_MEMORY or SYS_RES_IOPORT resource is activated via bus_alloc_resource(9) or
bus_activate_resource(9).
The pci_get_max_read_req() function returns the current maximum read request size in bytes for a PCI-
express device. If the dev device is not a PCI-express device, pci_get_max_read_req() returns zero.
The pci_set_max_read_req() sets the PCI-express maximum read request size for dev. The requested size
may be adjusted, and pci_set_max_read_req() returns the actual size set in bytes. If the dev device is
not a PCI-express device, pci_set_max_read_req() returns zero.
The pci_get_powerstate() function returns the current power state of the device dev. If the device does
not support power management capabilities, then the default state of PCI_POWERSTATE_D0 is returned. The
following power states are defined by PCI:
PCI_POWERSTATE_D0 State in which device is on and running. It is receiving full power from the
system and delivering full functionality to the user.
PCI_POWERSTATE_D1 Class-specific low-power state in which device context may or may not be lost.
Busses in this state cannot do anything to the bus, to force devices to lose
context.
PCI_POWERSTATE_D2 Class-specific low-power state in which device context may or may not be lost.
Attains greater power savings than PCI_POWERSTATE_D1. Busses in this state can
cause devices to lose some context. Devices must be prepared for the bus to be
in this state or higher.
PCI_POWERSTATE_D3 State in which the device is off and not running. Device context is lost, and
power from the device can be removed.
PCI_POWERSTATE_UNKNOWN State of the device is unknown.
The pci_set_powerstate() function is used to transition the device dev to the PCI power state state. If
the device does not support power management capabilities or it does not support the specific power state
state, then the function will fail with EOPNOTSUPP.
The pci_save_state() and pci_restore_state() functions can be used by a device driver to save and restore
standard PCI config registers. The pci_save_state() function must be invoked while the device has valid
state before pci_restore_state() can be used. If the device is not in the fully-powered state
(PCI_POWERSTATE_D0) when pci_restore_state() is invoked, then the device will be transitioned to
PCI_POWERSTATE_D0 before any config registers are restored.
Message Signaled Interrupts
Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI) and Enhanced Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI-X) are PCI capabilities
that provide an alternate method for PCI devices to signal interrupts. The legacy INTx interrupt is
available to PCI devices as a SYS_RES_IRQ resource with a resource ID of zero. MSI and MSI-X interrupts
are available to PCI devices as one or more SYS_RES_IRQ resources with resource IDs greater than zero. A
driver must ask the PCI bus to allocate MSI or MSI-X interrupts using pci_alloc_msi() or pci_alloc_msix()
before it can use MSI or MSI-X SYS_RES_IRQ resources. A driver is not allowed to use the legacy INTx
SYS_RES_IRQ resource if MSI or MSI-X interrupts have been allocated, and attempts to allocate MSI or MSI-
X interrupts will fail if the driver is currently using the legacy INTx SYS_RES_IRQ resource. A driver
is only allowed to use either MSI or MSI-X, but not both.
The pci_msi_count() function returns the maximum number of MSI messages supported by the device dev. If
the device does not support MSI, then pci_msi_count() returns zero.
The pci_alloc_msi() function attempts to allocate *count MSI messages for the device dev. The
pci_alloc_msi() function may allocate fewer messages than requested for various reasons including
requests for more messages than the device dev supports, or if the system has a shortage of available MSI
messages. On success, *count is set to the number of messages allocated and pci_alloc_msi() returns
zero. The SYS_RES_IRQ resources for the allocated messages will be available at consecutive resource IDs
beginning with one. If pci_alloc_msi() is not able to allocate any messages, it returns an error. Note
that MSI only supports message counts that are powers of two; requests to allocate a non-power of two
count of messages will fail.
The pci_release_msi() function is used to release any allocated MSI or MSI-X messages back to the system.
If any MSI or MSI-X SYS_RES_IRQ resources are allocated by the driver or have a configured interrupt
handler, this function will fail with EBUSY. The pci_release_msi() function returns zero on success and
an error on failure.
The pci_msix_count() function returns the maximum number of MSI-X messages supported by the device dev.
If the device does not support MSI-X, then pci_msix_count() returns zero.
The pci_alloc_msix() function attempts to allocate *count MSI-X messages for the device dev. The
pci_alloc_msix() function may allocate fewer messages than requested for various reasons including
requests for more messages than the device dev supports, or if the system has a shortage of available
MSI-X messages. On success, *count is set to the number of messages allocated and pci_alloc_msix()
returns zero. For MSI-X messages, the resource ID for each SYS_RES_IRQ resource identifies the index in
the MSI-X table of the corresponding message. A resource ID of one maps to the first index of the MSI-X
table; a resource ID two identifies the second index in the table, etc. The pci_alloc_msix() function
assigns the *count messages allocated to the first *count table indicies. If pci_alloc_msix() is not
able to allocate any messages, it returns an error. Unlike MSI, MSI-X does not require message counts
that are powers of two.
The pci_pending_msix() function examines the dev device's Pending Bit Array (PBA) to determine the
pending status of the MSI-X message at table index index. If the indicated message is pending, this
function returns a non-zero value; otherwise, it returns zero. Passing an invalid index to this function
will result in undefined behavior.
As mentioned in the description of pci_alloc_msix(), MSI-X messages are initially assigned to the first N
table entries. A driver may use a different distribution of available messages to table entries via the
pci_remap_msix() function. Note that this function must be called after a successful call to
pci_alloc_msix() but before any of the SYS_RES_IRQ resources are allocated. The pci_remap_msix()
function returns zero on success, or an error on failure.
The vectors array should contain count message vectors. The array maps directly to the MSI-X table in
that the first entry in the array specifies the message used for the first entry in the MSI-X table, the
second entry in the array corresponds to the second entry in the MSI-X table, etc. The vector value in
each array index can either be zero to indicate that no message should be assigned to the corresponding
MSI-X table entry, or it can be a number from one to N (where N is the count returned from the previous
call to pci_alloc_msix()) to indicate which of the allocated messages should be assigned to the
corresponding MSI-X table entry.
If pci_remap_msix() succeeds, each MSI-X table entry with a non-zero vector will have an associated
SYS_RES_IRQ resource whose resource ID corresponds to the table index as described above for
pci_alloc_msix(). MSI-X table entries that with a vector of zero will not have an associated SYS_RES_IRQ
resource. Additionally, if any of the original messages allocated by pci_alloc_msix() are not used in
the new distribution of messages in the MSI-X table, they will be released automatically. Note that if a
driver wishes to use fewer messages than were allocated by pci_alloc_msix(), the driver must use a
single, contiguous range of messages beginning with one in the new distribution. The pci_remap_msix()
function will fail if this condition is not met.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
The pci_addr_t type varies according to the size of the PCI bus address space on the target architecture.

BUGS
The kernel PCI code has a number of references to “slot numbers”. These do not refer to the geographic
location of PCI devices, but to the device number assigned by the combination of the PCI IDSEL mechanism
and the platform firmware. This should be taken note of when working with the kernel PCI code.
