124.Sh DESCRIPTION
125Direct Memory Access (DMA) is a method of transferring data
126without involving the CPU, thus providing higher performance.
127A DMA transaction can be achieved between device to memory,
128device to device, or memory to memory.
129.Pp
130The
131.Nm
132API is a bus, device, and machine-independent (MI) interface to
133DMA mechanisms.
134It provides the client with flexibility and simplicity by
135abstracting machine dependent issues like setting up
136DMA mappings, handling cache issues, bus specific features
137and limitations.
138.Sh STRUCTURES AND TYPES
139.Bl -tag -width indent
140.It Vt bus_dma_tag_t
141A machine-dependent (MD) opaque type that describes the
142characteristics of DMA transactions.
143DMA tags are organized into a hierarchy, with each child
144tag inheriting the restrictions of its parent.
145This allows all devices along the path of DMA transactions
146to contribute to the constraints of those transactions.
147.It Vt bus_dma_filter_t
148Client specified address filter having the format:
149.Bl -tag -width indent
150.It Ft int
151.Fn "client_filter" "void *filtarg" "bus_addr_t testaddr"
152.El
153.Pp
154Address filters can be specified during tag creation to allow
155for devices whose DMA address restrictions cannot be specified
156by a single window.
157The
158.Fa filtarg
159argument is specified by the client during tag creation to be passed to all
160invocations of the callback.
161The
162.Fa testaddr
163argument contains a potential starting address of a DMA mapping.
164The filter function operates on the set of addresses from
165.Fa testaddr
166to
167.Ql trunc_page(testaddr) + PAGE_SIZE - 1 ,
168inclusive.
169The filter function should return zero if any mapping in this range
170can be accommodated by the device and non-zero otherwise.
171.It Vt bus_dma_segment_t
172A machine-dependent type that describes individual
173DMA segments.
174It contains the following fields:
175.Bd -literal
176	bus_addr_t	ds_addr;
177	bus_size_t	ds_len;
178.Ed
179.Pp
180The
181.Fa ds_addr
182field contains the device visible address of the DMA segment, and
183.Fa ds_len
184contains the length of the DMA segment.
185Although the DMA segments returned by a mapping call will adhere to
186all restrictions necessary for a successful DMA operation, some conversion
187(e.g.\& a conversion from host byte order to the device's byte order) is
188almost always required when presenting segment information to the device.
189.It Vt bus_dmamap_t
190A machine-dependent opaque type describing an individual mapping.
191One map is used for each memory allocation that will be loaded.
192Maps can be reused once they have been unloaded.
193Multiple maps can be associated with one DMA tag.
194While the value of the map may evaluate to
195.Dv NULL
196on some platforms under certain conditions,
197it should never be assumed that it will be
198.Dv NULL
199in all cases.
200.It Vt bus_dmamap_callback_t
201Client specified callback for receiving mapping information resulting from
202the load of a
203.Vt bus_dmamap_t
204via
205.Fn bus_dmamap_load ,
206.Fn bus_dmamap_load_bio
207or
208.Fn bus_dmamap_load_ccb .
209Callbacks are of the format:
210.Bl -tag -width indent
211.It Ft void
212.Fn "client_callback" "void *callback_arg" "bus_dma_segment_t *segs" \
213"int nseg" "int error"
214.El
215.Pp
216The
217.Fa callback_arg
218is the callback argument passed to dmamap load functions.
219The
220.Fa segs
221and
222.Fa nseg
223arguments describe an array of
224.Vt bus_dma_segment_t
225structures that represent the mapping.
226This array is only valid within the scope of the callback function.
227The success or failure of the mapping is indicated by the
228.Fa error
229argument.
230More information on the use of callbacks can be found in the
231description of the individual dmamap load functions.
232.It Vt bus_dmamap_callback2_t
233Client specified callback for receiving mapping information resulting from
234the load of a
235.Vt bus_dmamap_t
236via
237.Fn bus_dmamap_load_uio
238or
239.Fn bus_dmamap_load_mbuf .
240.Pp
241Callback2s are of the format:
242.Bl -tag -width indent
243.It Ft void
244.Fn "client_callback2" "void *callback_arg" "bus_dma_segment_t *segs" \
245"int nseg" "bus_size_t mapsize" "int error"
246.El
247.Pp
248Callback2's behavior is the same as
249.Vt bus_dmamap_callback_t
250with the addition that the length of the data mapped is provided via
251.Fa mapsize .
252.It Vt bus_dmasync_op_t
253Memory synchronization operation specifier.
254Bus DMA requires explicit synchronization of memory with its device
255visible mapping in order to guarantee memory coherency.
256The
257.Vt bus_dmasync_op_t
258allows the type of DMA operation that will be or has been performed
259to be communicated to the system so that the correct coherency measures
260are taken.
261The operations are represented as bitfield flags that can be combined together,
262though it only makes sense to combine PRE flags or POST flags, not both.
263See the
264.Fn bus_dmamap_sync
265description below for more details on how to use these operations.
266.Pp
267All operations specified below are performed from the host memory point of view,
268where a read implies data coming from the device to the host memory, and a write
269implies data going from the host memory to the device.
270Alternatively, the operations can be thought of in terms of driver operations,
271where reading a network packet or storage sector corresponds to a read operation
272in
273.Nm .
274.Bl -tag -width ".Dv BUS_DMASYNC_POSTWRITE"
275.It Dv BUS_DMASYNC_PREREAD
276Perform any synchronization required prior to an update of host memory by the
277device.
278.It Dv BUS_DMASYNC_PREWRITE
279Perform any synchronization required after an update of host memory by the CPU
280and prior to device access to host memory.
281.It Dv BUS_DMASYNC_POSTREAD
282Perform any synchronization required after an update of host memory by the
283device and prior to CPU access to host memory.
284.It Dv BUS_DMASYNC_POSTWRITE
285Perform any synchronization required after device access to host memory.
286.El
287.It Vt bus_dma_lock_t
288Client specified lock/mutex manipulation method.
289This will be called from
290within busdma whenever a client lock needs to be manipulated.
291In its current form, the function will be called immediately before
292the callback for a DMA load operation that has been deferred with
293.Dv BUS_DMA_LOCK
294and immediately after with
295.Dv BUS_DMA_UNLOCK .
296If the load operation does not need to be deferred, then it
297will not be called since the function loading the map should
298be holding the appropriate locks.
299This method is of the format:
300.Bl -tag -width indent
301.It Ft void
302.Fn "lockfunc" "void *lockfunc_arg" "bus_dma_lock_op_t op"
303.El
304.Pp
305The
306.Fa lockfuncarg
307argument is specified by the client during tag creation to be passed to all
308invocations of the callback.
309The
310.Fa op
311argument specifies the lock operation to perform.
312.Pp
313Two
314.Vt lockfunc
315implementations are provided for convenience.
316.Fn busdma_lock_mutex
317performs standard mutex operations on the sleep mutex provided via
318.Fa lockfuncarg .
319.Fn dflt_lock
320will generate a system panic if it is called.
321It is substituted into the tag when
322.Fa lockfunc
323is passed as
324.Dv NULL
325to
326.Fn bus_dma_tag_create
327and is useful for tags that should not be used with deferred load operations.
328.It Vt bus_dma_lock_op_t
329Operations to be performed by the client-specified
330.Fn lockfunc .
331.Bl -tag -width ".Dv BUS_DMA_UNLOCK"
332.It Dv BUS_DMA_LOCK
333Acquires and/or locks the client locking primitive.
334.It Dv BUS_DMA_UNLOCK
335Releases and/or unlocks the client locking primitive.
336.El
337.El
338.Sh FUNCTIONS
339.Bl -tag -width indent
340.It Fn bus_dma_tag_create "parent" "alignment" "boundary" "lowaddr" \
341"highaddr" "*filtfunc" "*filtfuncarg" "maxsize" "nsegments" "maxsegsz" \
342"flags" "lockfunc" "lockfuncarg" "*dmat"
343Allocates a device specific DMA tag, and initializes it according to
344the arguments provided:
345.Bl -tag -width ".Fa filtfuncarg"
346.It Fa parent
347Indicates restrictions between the parent bridge, CPU memory, and the
348device.
349Each device must use a master parent tag by calling
350.Fn bus_get_dma_tag .
351.It Fa alignment
352Alignment constraint, in bytes, of any mappings created using this tag.
353The alignment must be a power of 2.
354Hardware that can DMA starting at any address would specify
355.Em 1
356for byte alignment.
357Hardware requiring DMA transfers to start on a multiple of 4K
358would specify
359.Em 4096 .
360.It Fa boundary
361Boundary constraint, in bytes, of the target DMA memory region.
362The boundary indicates the set of addresses, all multiples of the
363boundary argument, that cannot be crossed by a single
364.Vt bus_dma_segment_t .
365The boundary must be a power of 2 and must be no smaller than the
366maximum segment size.
367.Ql 0
368indicates that there are no boundary restrictions.
369.It Fa lowaddr , highaddr
370Bounds of the window of bus address space that
371.Em cannot
372be directly accessed by the device.
373The window contains all addresses greater than
374.Fa lowaddr
375and less than or equal to
376.Fa highaddr .
377For example, a device incapable of DMA above 4GB, would specify a
378.Fa highaddr
379of
380.Dv BUS_SPACE_MAXADDR
381and a
382.Fa lowaddr
383of
384.Dv BUS_SPACE_MAXADDR_32BIT .
385Similarly a device that can only perform DMA to addresses below
38616MB would specify a
387.Fa highaddr
388of
389.Dv BUS_SPACE_MAXADDR
390and a
391.Fa lowaddr
392of
393.Dv BUS_SPACE_MAXADDR_24BIT .
394Some implementations requires that some region of device visible
395address space, overlapping available host memory, be outside the
396window.
397This area of
398.Ql safe memory
399is used to bounce requests that would otherwise conflict with
400the exclusion window.
401.It Fa filtfunc
402Optional filter function (may be
403.Dv NULL )
404to be called for any attempt to
405map memory into the window described by
406.Fa lowaddr
407and
408.Fa highaddr .
409A filter function is only required when the single window described
410by
411.Fa lowaddr
412and
413.Fa highaddr
414cannot adequately describe the constraints of the device.
415The filter function will be called for every machine page
416that overlaps the exclusion window.
417.It Fa filtfuncarg
418Argument passed to all calls to the filter function for this tag.
419May be
420.Dv NULL .
421.It Fa maxsize
422Maximum size, in bytes, of the sum of all segment lengths in a given
423DMA mapping associated with this tag.
424.It Fa nsegments
425Number of discontinuities (scatter/gather segments) allowed
426in a DMA mapped region.
427If there is no restriction,
428.Dv BUS_SPACE_UNRESTRICTED
429may be specified.
430.It Fa maxsegsz
431Maximum size, in bytes, of a segment in any DMA mapped region associated
432with
433.Fa dmat .
434.It Fa flags
435Are as follows:
436.Bl -tag -width ".Dv BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW"
437.It Dv BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW
438Pre-allocate enough resources to handle at least one map load operation on
439this tag.
440If sufficient resources are not available,
441.Er ENOMEM
442is returned.
443This should not be used for tags that only describe buffers that will be
444allocated with
445.Fn bus_dmamem_alloc .
446Also, due to resource sharing with other tags, this flag does not guarantee
447that resources will be allocated or reserved exclusively for this tag.
448It should be treated only as a minor optimization.
449.El
450.It Fa lockfunc
451Optional lock manipulation function (may be
452.Dv NULL )
453to be called when busdma
454needs to manipulate a lock on behalf of the client.
455If
456.Dv NULL
457is specified,
458.Fn dflt_lock
459is used.
460.It Fa lockfuncarg
461Optional argument to be passed to the function specified by
462.Fa lockfunc .
463.It Fa dmat
464Pointer to a bus_dma_tag_t where the resulting DMA tag will
465be stored.
466.El
467.Pp
468Returns
469.Er ENOMEM
470if sufficient memory is not available for tag creation
471or allocating mapping resources.
472.It Fn bus_dma_tag_destroy "dmat"
473Deallocate the DMA tag
474.Fa dmat
475that was created by
476.Fn bus_dma_tag_create .
477.Pp
478Returns
479.Er EBUSY
480if any DMA maps remain associated with
481.Fa dmat
482or
483.Ql 0
484on success.
485.It Fn bus_dmamap_create "dmat" "flags" "*mapp"
486Allocates and initializes a DMA map.
487Arguments are as follows:
488.Bl -tag -width ".Fa nsegments"
489.It Fa dmat
490DMA tag.
491.It Fa flags
492Are as follows:
493.Bl -tag -width ".Dv BUS_DMA_COHERENT"
494.It Dv BUS_DMA_COHERENT
495Attempt to map the memory loaded with this map such that cache sync
496operations are as cheap as possible.
497This flag is typically set on maps when the memory loaded with these will
498be accessed by both a CPU and a DMA engine, frequently such as control data
499and as opposed to streamable data such as receive and transmit buffers.
500Use of this flag does not remove the requirement of using
501.Fn bus_dmamap_sync ,
502but it may reduce the cost of performing these operations.
503For
504.Fn bus_dmamap_create ,
505the
506.Dv BUS_DMA_COHERENT
507flag is currently implemented on sparc64.
508.El
509.It Fa mapp
510Pointer to a
511.Vt bus_dmamap_t
512where the resulting DMA map will be stored.
513.El
514.Pp
515Returns
516.Er ENOMEM
517if sufficient memory is not available for creating the
518map or allocating mapping resources.
519.It Fn bus_dmamap_destroy "dmat" "map"
520Frees all resources associated with a given DMA map.
521Arguments are as follows:
522.Bl -tag -width ".Fa dmat"
523.It Fa dmat
524DMA tag used to allocate
525.Fa map .
526.It Fa map
527The DMA map to destroy.
528.El
529.Pp
530Returns
531.Er EBUSY
532if a mapping is still active for
533.Fa map .
534.It Fn bus_dmamap_load "dmat" "map" "buf" "buflen" "*callback" \
535"callback_arg" "flags"
536Creates a mapping in device visible address space of
537.Fa buflen
538bytes of
539.Fa buf ,
540associated with the DMA map
541.Fa map .
542This call will always return immediately and will not block for any reason.
543Arguments are as follows:
544.Bl -tag -width ".Fa buflen"
545.It Fa dmat
546DMA tag used to allocate
547.Fa map .
548.It Fa map
549A DMA map without a currently active mapping.
550.It Fa buf
551A kernel virtual address pointer to a contiguous (in KVA) buffer, to be
552mapped into device visible address space.
553.It Fa buflen
554The size of the buffer.
555.It Fa callback Fa callback_arg
556The callback function, and its argument.
557This function is called once sufficient mapping resources are available for
558the DMA operation.
559If resources are temporarily unavailable, this function will be deferred until
560later, but the load operation will still return immediately to the caller.
561Thus, callers should not assume that the callback will be called before the
562load returns, and code should be structured appropriately to handle this.
563See below for specific flags and error codes that control this behavior.
564.It Fa flags
565Are as follows:
566.Bl -tag -width ".Dv BUS_DMA_NOWAIT"
567.It Dv BUS_DMA_NOWAIT
568The load should not be deferred in case of insufficient mapping resources,
569and instead should return immediately with an appropriate error.
570.It Dv BUS_DMA_NOCACHE
571The generated transactions to and from the virtual page are non-cacheable.
572For
573.Fn bus_dmamap_load ,
574the
575.Dv BUS_DMA_NOCACHE
576flag is currently implemented on sparc64.
577.El
578.El
579.Pp
580Return values to the caller are as follows:
581.Bl -tag -width ".Er EINPROGRESS"
582.It 0
583The callback has been called and completed.
584The status of the mapping has been delivered to the callback.
585.It Er EINPROGRESS
586The mapping has been deferred for lack of resources.
587The callback will be called as soon as resources are available.
588Callbacks are serviced in FIFO order.
589.Pp
590Note that subsequent load operations for the same tag that do not require
591extra resources will still succeed.
592This may result in out-of-order processing of requests.
593If the caller requires the order of requests to be preserved,
594then the caller is required to stall subsequent requests until a pending
595request's callback is invoked.
596.It Er ENOMEM
597The load request has failed due to insufficient resources, and the caller
598specifically used the
599.Dv BUS_DMA_NOWAIT
600flag.
601.It Er EINVAL
602The load request was invalid.
603The callback has been called and has been provided the same error.
604This error value may indicate that
605.Fa dmat ,
606.Fa map ,
607.Fa buf ,
608or
609.Fa callback
610were invalid, or
611.Fa buflen
612was larger than the
613.Fa maxsize
614argument used to create the dma tag
615.Fa dmat .
616.El
617.Pp
618When the callback is called, it is presented with an error value
619indicating the disposition of the mapping.
620Error may be one of the following:
621.Bl -tag -width ".Er EINPROGRESS"
622.It 0
623The mapping was successful and the
624.Fa dm_segs
625callback argument contains an array of
626.Vt bus_dma_segment_t
627elements describing the mapping.
628This array is only valid during the scope of the callback function.
629.It Er EFBIG
630A mapping could not be achieved within the segment constraints provided
631in the tag even though the requested allocation size was less than maxsize.
632.El
633.It Fn bus_dmamap_load_bio "dmat" "map" "bio" "callback" "callback_arg" "flags"
634This is a variation of
635.Fn bus_dmamap_load
636which maps buffers pointed to by
637.Fa bio
638for DMA transfers.
639.Fa bio
640may point to either a mapped or unmapped buffer.
641.It Fn bus_dmamap_load_ccb "dmat" "map" "ccb" "callback" "callback_arg" "flags"
642This is a variation of
643.Fn bus_dmamap_load
644which maps data pointed to by
645.Fa ccb
646for DMA transfers.
647The data for
648.Fa ccb
649may be any of the following types:
650.Bl -tag -width ".Er CAM_DATA_SG_PADDR"
651.It CAM_DATA_VADDR
652The data is a single KVA buffer.
653.It CAM_DATA_PADDR
654The data is a single bus address range.
655.It CAM_DATA_SG
656The data is a scatter/gather list of KVA buffers.
657.It CAM_DATA_SG_PADDR
658The data is a scatter/gather list of bus address ranges.
659.It CAM_DATA_BIO
660The data is contained in a
661.Vt struct bio
662attached to the CCB.
663.El
664.Pp
665.Fn bus_dmamap_load_ccb
666supports the following CCB XPT function codes:

675.El
676.It Fn bus_dmamap_load_mbuf "dmat" "map" "mbuf" "callback2" "callback_arg" \
677"flags"
678This is a variation of
679.Fn bus_dmamap_load
680which maps mbuf chains
681for DMA transfers.
682A
683.Vt bus_size_t
684argument is also passed to the callback routine, which
685contains the mbuf chain's packet header length.
686The
687.Dv BUS_DMA_NOWAIT
688flag is implied, thus no callback deferral will happen.
689.Pp
690Mbuf chains are assumed to be in kernel virtual address space.
691.Pp
692Beside the error values listed for
693.Fn bus_dmamap_load ,
694.Er EINVAL
695will be returned if the size of the mbuf chain exceeds the maximum limit of the
696DMA tag.
697.It Fn bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg "dmat" "map" "mbuf" "segs" "nsegs" "flags"
698This is just like
699.Fn bus_dmamap_load_mbuf
700except that it returns immediately without calling a callback function.
701It is provided for efficiency.
702The scatter/gather segment array
703.Va segs
704is provided by the caller and filled in directly by the function.
705The
706.Va nsegs
707argument is returned with the number of segments filled in.
708Returns the same errors as
709.Fn bus_dmamap_load_mbuf .
710.It Fn bus_dmamap_load_uio "dmat" "map" "uio" "callback2" "callback_arg" "flags"
711This is a variation of
712.Fn bus_dmamap_load
713which maps buffers pointed to by
714.Fa uio
715for DMA transfers.
716A
717.Vt bus_size_t
718argument is also passed to the callback routine, which contains the size of
719.Fa uio ,
720i.e.
721.Fa uio->uio_resid .
722The
723.Dv BUS_DMA_NOWAIT
724flag is implied, thus no callback deferral will happen.
725Returns the same errors as
726.Fn bus_dmamap_load .
727.Pp
728If
729.Fa uio->uio_segflg
730is
731.Dv UIO_USERSPACE ,
732then it is assumed that the buffer,
733.Fa uio
734is in
735.Fa "uio->uio_td->td_proc" Ns 's
736address space.
737User space memory must be in-core and wired prior to attempting a map
738load operation.
739Pages may be locked using
740.Xr vslock 9 .
741.It Fn bus_dmamap_unload "dmat" "map"
742Unloads a DMA map.
743Arguments are as follows:
744.Bl -tag -width ".Fa dmam"
745.It Fa dmat
746DMA tag used to allocate
747.Fa map .
748.It Fa map
749The DMA map that is to be unloaded.
750.El
751.Pp
752.Fn bus_dmamap_unload
753will not perform any implicit synchronization of DMA buffers.
754This must be done explicitly by a call to
755.Fn bus_dmamap_sync
756prior to unloading the map.
757.It Fn bus_dmamap_sync "dmat" "map" "op"
758Performs synchronization of a device visible mapping with the CPU visible
759memory referenced by that mapping.
760Arguments are as follows:
761.Bl -tag -width ".Fa dmat"
762.It Fa dmat
763DMA tag used to allocate
764.Fa map .
765.It Fa map
766The DMA mapping to be synchronized.
767.It Fa op
768Type of synchronization operation to perform.
769See the definition of
770.Vt bus_dmasync_op_t
771for a description of the acceptable values for
772.Fa op .
773.El
774.Pp
775The
776.Fn bus_dmamap_sync
777function
778is the method used to ensure that CPU's and device's direct
779memory access (DMA) to shared
780memory is coherent.
781For example, the CPU might be used to set up the contents of a buffer
782that is to be made available to a device.
783To ensure that the data are visible via the device's mapping of that
784memory, the buffer must be loaded and a DMA sync operation of
785.Dv BUS_DMASYNC_PREWRITE
786must be performed after the CPU has updated the buffer and before the device
787access is initiated.
788If the CPU modifies this buffer again later, another
789.Dv BUS_DMASYNC_PREWRITE
790sync operation must be performed before an additional device
791access.
792Conversely, suppose a device updates memory that is to be read by a CPU.
793In this case, the buffer must be loaded, and a DMA sync operation of
794.Dv BUS_DMASYNC_PREREAD
795must be performed before the device access is initiated.
796The CPU will only be able to see the results of this memory update
797once the DMA operation has completed and a
798.Dv BUS_DMASYNC_POSTREAD
799sync operation has been performed.
800.Pp
801If read and write operations are not preceded and followed by the
802appropriate synchronization operations, behavior is undefined.
803.It Fn bus_dmamem_alloc "dmat" "**vaddr" "flags" "*mapp"
804Allocates memory that is mapped into KVA at the address returned
805in
806.Fa vaddr
807and that is permanently loaded into the newly created
808.Vt bus_dmamap_t
809returned via
810.Fa mapp .
811Arguments are as follows:
812.Bl -tag -width ".Fa alignment"
813.It Fa dmat
814DMA tag describing the constraints of the DMA mapping.
815.It Fa vaddr
816Pointer to a pointer that will hold the returned KVA mapping of
817the allocated region.
818.It Fa flags
819Flags are defined as follows:
820.Bl -tag -width ".Dv BUS_DMA_NOWAIT"
821.It Dv BUS_DMA_WAITOK
822The routine can safely wait (sleep) for resources.
823.It Dv BUS_DMA_NOWAIT
824The routine is not allowed to wait for resources.
825If resources are not available,
826.Dv ENOMEM
827is returned.
828.It Dv BUS_DMA_COHERENT
829Attempt to map this memory in a coherent fashion.
830See
831.Fn bus_dmamap_create
832above for a description of this flag.
833For
834.Fn bus_dmamem_alloc ,
835the
836.Dv BUS_DMA_COHERENT
837flag is currently implemented on arm and sparc64.
838.It Dv BUS_DMA_ZERO
839Causes the allocated memory to be set to all zeros.
840.It Dv BUS_DMA_NOCACHE
841The allocated memory will not be cached in the processor caches.
842All memory accesses appear on the bus and are executed
843without reordering.
844For
845.Fn bus_dmamem_alloc ,
846the
847.Dv BUS_DMA_NOCACHE
848flag is currently implemented on amd64 and i386 where it results in the
849Strong Uncacheable PAT to be set for the allocated virtual address range.
850.El
851.It Fa mapp
852Pointer to a
853.Vt bus_dmamap_t
854where the resulting DMA map will be stored.
855.El
856.Pp
857The size of memory to be allocated is
858.Fa maxsize
859as specified in the call to
860.Fn bus_dma_tag_create
861for
862.Fa dmat .
863.Pp
864The current implementation of
865.Fn bus_dmamem_alloc
866will allocate all requests as a single segment.
867.Pp
868An initial load operation is required to obtain the bus address of the allocated
869memory, and an unload operation is required before freeing the memory, as
870described below in
871.Fn bus_dmamem_free .
872Maps are automatically handled by this function and should not be explicitly
873allocated or destroyed.
874.Pp
875Although an explicit load is not required for each access to the memory
876referenced by the returned map, the synchronization requirements
877as described in the
878.Fn bus_dmamap_sync
879section still apply and should be used to achieve portability on architectures
880without coherent buses.
881.Pp
882Returns
883.Er ENOMEM
884if sufficient memory is not available for completing
885the operation.
886.It Fn bus_dmamem_free "dmat" "*vaddr" "map"
887Frees memory previously allocated by
888.Fn bus_dmamem_alloc .
889Any mappings
890will be invalidated.
891Arguments are as follows:
892.Bl -tag -width ".Fa vaddr"
893.It Fa dmat
894DMA tag.
895.It Fa vaddr
896Kernel virtual address of the memory.
897.It Fa map
898DMA map to be invalidated.
899.El
900.El
901.Sh RETURN VALUES
902Behavior is undefined if invalid arguments are passed to
903any of the above functions.
904If sufficient resources cannot be allocated for a given
905transaction,
906.Er ENOMEM
907is returned.
908All
909routines that are not of type
910.Vt void
911will return 0 on success or an error
912code on failure as discussed above.
913.Pp
914All
915.Vt void
916routines will succeed if provided with valid arguments.
917.Sh LOCKING
918Two locking protocols are used by
919.Nm .
920The first is a private global lock that is used to synchronize access to the
921bounce buffer pool on the architectures that make use of them.
922This lock is strictly a leaf lock that is only used internally to
923.Nm
924and is not exposed to clients of the API.
925.Pp
926The second protocol involves protecting various resources stored in the tag.
927Since almost all
928.Nm
929operations are done through requests from the driver that created the tag,
930the most efficient way to protect the tag resources is through the lock that
931the driver uses.
932In cases where
933.Nm
934acts on its own without being called by the driver, the lock primitive
935specified in the tag is acquired and released automatically.
936An example of this is when the
937.Fn bus_dmamap_load
938callback function is called from a deferred context instead of the driver
939context.
940This means that certain
941.Nm
942functions must always be called with the same lock held that is specified in the
943tag.
944These functions include:
945.Pp
946.Bl -item -offset indent -compact
947.It
948.Fn bus_dmamap_load
949.It
950.Fn bus_dmamap_load_bio
951.It
952.Fn bus_dmamap_load_ccb
953.It
954.Fn bus_dmamap_load_mbuf
955.It
956.Fn bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg
957.It
958.Fn bus_dmamap_load_uio
959.It
960.Fn bus_dmamap_unload
961.It
962.Fn bus_dmamap_sync
963.El
964.Pp
965There is one exception to this rule.
966It is common practice to call some of these functions during driver start-up
967without any locks held.
968So long as there is a guarantee of no possible concurrent use of the tag by
969different threads during this operation, it is safe to not hold a lock for
970these functions.
971.Pp
972Certain
973.Nm
974operations should not be called with the driver lock held, either because
975they are already protected by an internal lock, or because they might sleep
976due to memory or resource allocation.
977The following functions must not be
978called with any non-sleepable locks held:
979.Pp
980.Bl -item -offset indent -compact
981.It
982.Fn bus_dma_tag_create
983.It
984.Fn bus_dmamap_create
985.It
986.Fn bus_dmamem_alloc
987.El
988.Pp
989All other functions do not have a locking protocol and can thus be
990called with or without any system or driver locks held.

1010.Pp
1011The
1012.Nm
1013API was adopted from
1014.Nx
1015for use in the CAM SCSI subsystem.
1016The alterations to the original API were aimed to remove the need for
1017a
1018.Vt bus_dma_segment_t
1019array stored in each
1020.Vt bus_dmamap_t
1021while allowing callers to queue up on scarce resources.
