20.Sh SYNOPSIS
21.In sys/usb/usba/hcdi.h
22.Sh INTERFACE LEVEL
23.Sy Volatile -
24illumos USB HCD private function
25.Pp
26This describes private interfaces that are not part of the stable DDI.
27This may be removed or changed at any time.
28.Sh DESCRIPTION
29.Sy hcdi
30drivers are device drivers that support USB host controller hardware.
31USB host controllers provide an interface between the operating system
32and USB devices.
33They abstract the interface to the devices, often provide ways of performing
34DMA, and also act as the root hub.
35.Pp
36.Sy hcdi
37drivers are part of the illumos USB Architecture (USBA).
38The
39.Xr usba 4D
40driver provides support for many of the surrounding needs of an
41.Sy hcdi
42driver and requires that such drivers implement a specific operations
43vector,
44.Xr usba_hcdi_ops 9S .
45These functions cover everything from initialization to performing I/O
46to USB devices on behalf of client device drivers.
47.Ss USB Speed and Version Background
48USB devices are often referred to in two different ways.
49The first way is the USB version that they conform to.
50In the wild this looks like USB 1.1, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, etc..
51However, devices are also referred to as
52.Sq full- ,
53.Sq low- ,
54.Sq high- ,
55.Sq super-
56speed devices.
57.Pp
58The latter description describes the maximum theoretical speed of a
59given device.
60For example, a super-speed device theoretically caps out around 5 Gbit/s,
61whereas a low-speed device caps out at 1.5 Mbit/s.
62.Pp
63In general, each speed usually corresponds to a specific USB protocol
64generation.
65For example, all USB 3.0 devices are super-speed devices.
66All 'high-speed' devices are USB 2.x devices.
67Full-speed devices are special in that they can either be USB 1.x or USB 2.x
68devices.
69Low-speed devices are only a USB 1.x thing, they did not jump the fire line to
70USB 2.x.
71.Pp
72USB 3.0 devices and ports generally have the wiring for both USB 2.0 and
73USB 3.0.
74When a USB 3.0 device is plugged into a USB 2.0 port or hub, then it will report
75its version as USB 2.1, to indicate that it is actually a USB 3.0 device.
76.Ss USB Endpoint Background
77To understand the organization of the functions that make up the hcdi
78operations vector, it helps to understand how USB devices are organized
79and work at a high level.
80.Pp
81A given USB device is made up of
82.Em endpoints .
83A request, or transfer, is made to a specific USB endpoint.
84These endpoints can provide different services and have different expectations
85around the size of the data that'll be used in a given request and the
86periodicity of requests.
87Endpoints themselves are either used to make one-shot requests, for example,
88making requests to a mass storage device for a given sector, or for making
89periodic requests where you end up polling on the endpoint, for example, polling
90on a USB keyboard for keystrokes.
91.Pp
92Each endpoint encodes two different pieces of information: a direction
93and a type.
94There are two different directions: IN and OUT.
95These refer to the general direction that data moves relative to the operating
96system.
97For example, an IN transfer transfers data in to the operating system, from the
98device.
99An OUT transfer transfers data from the operating system, out to the device.
100.Pp
101There are four different kinds of endpoints:
102.Bl -tag -width Sy -offset indent
103.It Sy BULK
104These transfers are large transfers of data to or from a device.
105The most common use for bulk transfers is for mass storage devices.
106Though they are often also used by network devices and more.
107Bulk endpoints do not have an explicit time component to them.
108They are always used for one-shot transfers.
109.It Sy CONTROL
110These transfers are used to manipulate devices themselves and are used
111for USB protocol level operations (whether device-specific,
112class-specific, or generic across all of USB).
113Unlike other transfers, control transfers are always bi-directional and use
114different kinds of transfers.
115.It Sy INTERRUPT
116Interrupt transfers are used for small transfers that happen
117infrequently, but need reasonable latency.
118A good example of interrupt transfers is to receive input from a USB keyboard.
119Interrupt-IN transfers are generally polled.
120Meaning that a client (device driver) opens up an interrupt-IN endpoint to poll
121on it, and receives periodic updates whenever there is information available.
122However, Interrupt transfers can be used as one-shot transfers both going IN and
123OUT.
124.It Sy ISOCHRONOUS
125These transfers are things that happen once per time-interval at a very
126regular rate.
127A good example of these transfers are for audio and video.
128A device may describe an interval as 10ms at which point it will read or
129write the next batch of data every 10ms and transform it for the user.
130There are no one-shot Isochronous-IN transfers.
131There are one-shot Isochronous-OUT transfers, but these are used by device
132drivers to always provide the system with sufficient data.
133.El
134.Pp
135To find out information about the endpoints, USB devices have a series
136of descriptors that cover different aspects of the device.
137For example, there are endpoint descriptors which cover the properties of
138endpoints such as the maximum packet size or polling interval.
139.Pp
140Descriptors exist at all levels of USB.
141For example, there are general descriptors for every device.
142The USB device descriptor is described in
143.Xr usb_dev_descr 9S .
144Host controllers will look at these descriptors to ensure that they
145program the device correctly; however, they are more often used by
146client device drivers.
147There are also descriptors that exist at a class level.
148For example, the hub class has a class-specific descriptor which describes
149properties of the hub.
150That information is requested for and used by the hub driver.
151.Pp
152All of the different descriptors are gathered by the system and placed
153into a tree, with device descriptors, configurations, endpoints, and
154more.
155Client device drivers gain access to this tree and then use them to then open
156endpoints, which are called pipes in USBA (and some revisions of the USB
157specification).
158.Pp
159Each pipe gives access to a specific endpoint on the device which can be
160used to perform transfers of a specific type and direction.
161For example, a mass storage device often has three different endpoints, the
162default control endpoint (which every device has), a Bulk-IN endpoint, and a
163Bulk-OUT endpoint.
164The device driver ends up with three open pipes.
165One to the default control endpoint to configure the device, and then the
166other two are used to perform I/O.
167.Pp
168These routines translate more or less directly into calls to a host
169controller driver.
170A request to open a pipe takes an endpoint descriptor that describes the
171properties of the pipe, and the host controller driver goes through and does any
172work necessary to allow the client device driver to access it.
173Once the pipe is open, it either makes one-shot transfers specific to the
174transfer type or it starts performing a periodic poll of an endpoint.
175.Pp
176All of these different actions translate into requests to the host
177controller.
178The host controller driver itself is in charge of making sure that all of the
179required resources for polling are allocated with a request and then proceed to
180give the driver's periodic callbacks.
181.Pp
182For each of the different operations described above, there is a corresponding
183entry in
184.Xr usba_hcdi_ops 9S .
185For example, open an endpoint, the host controller has to implement
186.Xr usba_hcdi_pipe_open 9E
187and for each transfer type, there is a different transfer function.
188One example is
189.Xr usba_hcdi_pipe_bulk_xfer 9E .
190See
191.Xr usba_hcdi_ops 9S
192for a full list of the different function endpoints.
193.Ss HCDI Initialization
194hcdi drivers are traditional character device drivers.
195To start with, an hcdi driver should define traditional
196.Xr dev_ops 9S
197and
198.Xr cb_ops 9S
199structures.
200To get started, the device driver should perform normal device initialization in
201an
202.Xr attach 9E
203entry point.
204For example, PCI devices should setup the device's registers and program them.
205In addition, all devices should configure interrupts, before getting ready to
206call into the USBA.
207Each instance of a device must be initialized and registered with the USBA.
208.Pp
209To initialize a device driver with the USBA, it must first call
210.Xr usba_alloc_hcdi_ops 9F .
211This provides a device driver with the
212.Xr usba_hcdi_ops 9S
213structure that it must fill out.
214Please see
215.Xr usba_hcdi_ops 9S
216for instructions on how it should be filled out.
217Once filled out, the driver should call
218.Xr usba_hcdi_register 9F .
219.Pp
220If the call to register fails for whatever reason, the device driver
221should fail its
222.Xr attach 9E
223entry point.
224After this call successfully completes, the driver should assume that any of the
225functions it registered with the call to
226.Xr usba_hcdi_register 9F
227will be called at this point.
228.Ss Binding the Root Hub
229Once this is set up, the hcdi driver must initialize its root hub by
230calling
231.Xr usba_hubdi_bind_root_hub 9F .
232To bind the root hub, the device driver is responsible for providing a
233device descriptor that represents the hardware.
234Depending on the hardware, this descriptor may be either static or dynamic.
235.Pp
236This device descriptor should be a packed descriptor that is the same
237that would be read off of the device.
238The device descriptor should match a hub of a USB generation equivalent to the
239maximum speed of the device.
240For example, a USB 3.0 host controller would use a USB 3.0 hub's device
241descriptor.
242Similarly, a USB 2.0 host controller would use a USB 2.0 hub's device
243descriptor.
244.Pp
245The descriptor first starts with a USB configuration descriptor, as
246defined in
247.Xr usb_cfg_descr 9S .
248It is then followed by an interface descriptor.
249The definition for it can be found in
250.Xr usb_if_descr 9S .
251Next is the endpoint descriptor for the single Interrupt-IN endpoint
252that all hubs have as defined in
253.Xr usb_ep_descr 9S .
254Finally, any required companion descriptors should be used.
255For example, a USB 3.x hub will have a
256.Xr usb_ep_ss_comp_descr 9S
257appended to the structure.
258.Pp
259Note, that the structure needs to be packed, as though it were read from
260a device.
261The structures types referenced in
262.Xr usb_cfg_descr 9S ,
263.Xr usb_if_descr 9S ,
264.Xr usb_ep_descr 9S ,
265and
266.Xr usb_ep_ss_comp_descr 9S
267are not packed for this purpose.
268They should not be used as they have gaps added by the compiler for alignment.
269.Pp
270Once assembled, the device driver should call
271.Xr usba_hubdi_bind_root_hub 9F .
272This will cause an instance of the
273.Xr hubd 4D
274driver to be attached and associated with the root controller.
275As such, driver writers need to ensure that all initialization is done prior to
276loading the root hub.
277Once successfully loaded, driver writers should assume that they'll get other
278calls into the driver's operation vector before the call to
279.Xr usba_hubdi_bind_root_hub 9F .
280.Pp
281If the call to
282.Xr usba_hubdi_bind_root_hub 9F
283failed for whatever reason, the driver should unregister from USBA (see
284the next section), unwind all of the resources it has allocated, and
285return
286.Dv DDI_FAILURE .
287.Pp
288Otherwise, at this point it's safe to assume that the instance of the
289device has initialized successfully and the driver should return
290.Dv DDI_SUCCESS .
291.Ss Driver Teardown
292When a driver's
293.Xr detach 9E
294entry point has been called, before anything else is done, the device
295driver should unbind its instance of the root hub and then unregister
296from the USBA.
297.Pp
298To unbind the root hub, the instance of the driver should call
299.Xr usba_hubdi_unbind_root_hub 9F .
300If for some reason that function does not return
301.Sy USB_SUCCESS ,
302then the device driver should fail the call to
303.Xr detach 9E
304and return
305.Dv DDI_FAILURE .
306.Pp
307Once the root hub has been unbound, the device driver can continue by
308removing its hcdi registration with USBA.
309To do this, the driver should call
310.Xr usba_hcdi_unregister 9F .
311As this call always succeeds, at this point, it is safe for the driver
312to tear down all the rest of its resources and successfully detach.
313.Ss State Tracking and Minor Numbers
314Because a host controller driver is also a root hub, there are a few
315constraints around how the device must store its per-instance state and
316how its minor numbers are used.
317.Pp
318hcdi drivers
319.Em must not
320store any data with
321.Xr ddi_get_driver_private 9F .
322This private data is used by USBA.
323If it has been called before the device registers, then it will fail to register
324successfully with the USBA.
325However, setting it after that point will corrupt the state of the USBA and
326likely lead to data corruption and crashes.
327.Pp
328Similarly, part of the minor number space is utilized to represent
329various devices like the root hub.
330Whenever a device driver is presented with a
331.Ft dev_t
332and it's trying to extract the minor number, it must take into account
333the constant
334.Dv HUBD_IS_ROOT_HUB .
335The following shows how to perform this, given a
336.Ft dev_t
337called
338.Ft dev :
339.Bd -literal -offset indent
340minor_t minor = getminor(dev) & ~HUBD_IS_ROOT_HUB;
341.Ed
342.Ss Required Character and Device Operations
343The USBA handles many character and device operations entry points for a
344device driver or has strict rules on what a device driver must do in
345them.
346This section summarizes those constraints.
347.Pp
348In the
349.Xr dev_ops 9S
350structure, the following members have special significance:
351.Bl -tag -offset indent -width Sy
352.It Sy devo_bus_ops
353The
354.Sy devo_bus_ops
355member should be set to the symbol
356.Sy usba_hubdi_busops .
357See
358.Xr usba_hubdi_dev_ops 9F
359for more information.
360.It Sy devo_power
361The
362.Sy devo_power
363member should be set to the symbol
364.Sy usba_hubdi_root_hub_power .
365See
366.Xr usba_hubdi_dev_ops 9F
367for more information.
368.El
369.Pp
370The other standard entry points for character devices,
371.Sy devo_getinfo ,
372.Sy devo_attach ,
373and
374.Sy devo_detach
375should be implemented normally as per
376.Xr getinfo 9E ,
377.Xr attach 9E ,
378and
379.Xr detach 9E
380respectively.
381.Pp
382The following members of the
383.Xr cb_ops 9S
384operations vector must be implemented and set:
385.Bl -tag -offset indent -width Sy
386.It Sy cb_open
387The device driver should implement an
388.Xr open 9E
389entry point that obtains access to its
390.Sy dev_info_t
391and then calls
392.Xr usba_hubdi_open 9F .
393See
394.Xr usba_hcdi_cb_open 9E
395for more information.
396.It Sy cb_close
397The device driver should implement a
398.Xr close 9E
399entry point that obtains access to its
400.Sy dev_info_t
401and then calls
402.Xr usba_hubdi_close 9F .
403 See
404.Xr usba_hcdi_cb_close 9E
405for more information.
406.It Sy cb_ioctl
407The device driver should implement a
408.Xr ioctl 9E
409entry point that obtains access to its
410.Sy dev_info_t
411and then calls
412.Xr usba_hubdi_ioctl 9F .
413.Pp
414If the device driver wishes to have private ioctls, it may check the
415ioctl command before calling
416.Xr usba_hubdi_ioctl 9F .
417Because the
418.Xr usba_hubdi_ioctl 9F
419function normally takes care of checking for the proper privileges,
420device drivers must verify that a caller has appropriate privileges
421before processing any private ioctls.
422.Pp
423See
424.Xr usba_hcdi_cb_ioctl 9E
425for more information.
426.It Sy cb_prop_op
427The
428.Sy cb_prop_op
429member should be set to
430.Xr ddi_prop_op 9F .
431.It Sy cb_flag
432The
433.Sy cb_flag
434member should be set to the bitwise-inclusive-OR of the
435.Sy D_MP
436flag
437and the
438.Sy D_HOTPLUG
439flag.
440.El
441.Pp
442All other members of the
443.Xr cb_ops 9S
444structure should not be implemented and set to the appropriate value,
445such as
446.Xr nodev 9F
447or
448.Xr nochpoll 9F .
449.Ss Locking
450In general, the USBA calls into a device driver through one of the
451functions that it has register in the
452.Xr usba_hcdi_ops 9S
453structure.
454However, in response to a data transfer, the device driver will need to call
455back into the USBA by calling
456.Xr usba_hcdi_cb 9F .
457.Pp
458A device driver must hold
459.Em no locks
460across the call to
461.Xr usba_hcdi_cb 9F .
462Returning an I/O to the USBA, particularly an error, may result in
463another call back to one of the
464.Xr usba_hcdi_cb 9F
465vectors.
466.Pp
467Outside of that constraint, the device driver should perform locking of
468its data structures.
469It should assume that many of its entry points will be called in parallel across
470the many devices that exist.
471.Pp
472There are certain occasions where a device driver may have to enter the
473.Sy p_mutex
474member of the
475.Xr usba_pipe_handle_data 9S
476structure when duplicating isochronous or interrupt requests.
477The USBA should in general, not hold this lock across calls to the HCD driver,
478and in turn, the HCD driver should not hold this lock across any calls back to
479the USBA.
480As such, the HCD driver should make sure to incorporate the lock ordering of
481this mutex into its broader lock ordering and operational theory.
482Generally, the
483.Sy p_mutex
484mutex will be entered after any HCD-specific locks.
485.Pp
486The final recommendation is that due to the fact that the host
487controller driver provides services to a multitude of USB devices at
488once, it should strive not to hold its own internal locks while waiting
489for I/O to complete, such as an issued command.
490This is particularly true if the device driver uses coarse grained locking.
491If the device driver does not pay attention to these conditions, it can easily
492lead to service stalls.
493.Ss Synchronous and Asynchronous Entry Points
494The majority of the entry points that a host controller driver has to
495implement are
496.Em synchronous .
497All actions that the entry point implies must be completed before the
498entry point returns.
499However, the various transfer routines:
500.Xr usba_hcdi_pipe_bulk_xfer 9E ,
501.Xr usba_hcdi_pipe_ctrl_xfer 9E ,
502.Xr usba_hcdi_pipe_intr_xfer 9E ,
503and
504.Xr usba_hcdi_pipe_isoc_xfer 9E ,
505are ultimately
506.Em asynchronous
507entry points.
508.Pp
509Each of the above entry points begins one-shot or periodic I/O.
510When the driver returns
511.Sy USB_SUCCESS
512from one of those functions, it is expected that it will later call
513.Xr usba_hcdi_cb 9F
514when the I/O completes, whether successful or not.
515It is the driver's responsibility to keep track of these outstanding transfers
516and time them out.
517For more information on timeouts, see the section
518.Sx Endpoint Timeouts .
519.Pp
520If for some reason, the driver fails to initialize the I/O transfer and
521indicates this by returning a value other than
522.Sy USB_SUCCESS
523from its entry point, then it must not call
524.Xr usba_hcdi_cb 9F
525for that transfer.
526.Ss Short Transfers
527Not all USB transfers will always return the full amount of data
528requested in the transfer.
529Host controller drivers need to be ready for this and report it.
530Each request structure has an attribute to indicate whether or not short
531transfers are OK.
532If a short transfer is OK, then the driver should update the transfer length.
533Otherwise, it should instead return an error.
534See the individual entry point pages for more information.
535.Ss Root Hub Management
536As was mentioned earlier, every host controller is also a root hub.
537The USBA interfaces with the root hub no differently than any other hub.
538The USBA will open pipes and issue both control and periodic interrupt-IN
539transfers to the root hub.
540.Pp
541In the host controller driver's
542.Xr usba_hcdi_pipe_open 9E
543entry point, it already has to look at the pipe handle it's been given
544to determine the attributes of the endpoint it's looking at.
545However, before it does that it needs to look at the USB address of the device
546the handle corresponds to.
547If the device address matches the macro
548.Sy ROOT_HUB_ADDR ,
549then this is a time where the USBA is opening one of the root hub's
550endpoints.
551.Pp
552Because the root hub is generally not a real device, the driver will
553likely need to handle this in a different manner from traditional pipes.
554.Pp
555The device driver will want to check for the presence of the device's
556address with the following major entry points and change its behavior as
557described:
558.Bl -tag -width Fn
559.It Fn usba_hcdi_pipe_ctrl_xfer
560The device driver needs to intercept control transfers to the root hub
561and translate them into the appropriate form for the device.
562For example, the device driver may be asked to get a port's status.
563It should determine the appropriate way to perform this, such as reading a
564PCI memory-mapped register, and then create the appropriate response.
565.Pp
566The device driver needs to implement all of the major hub specific
567request types.
568It is recommended that driver writers see what existing host controller drivers
569implement and what the hub driver currently requires to implement this.
570.Pp
571Aside from the fact that the request is not being issued to a specific
572USB device, a request to the root hub follows the normal rules for a
573transfer and the device driver will need to call
574.Xr usba_hcdi_cb 9F
575to indicate that it has finished.
576.It Fn usba_hcdi_pipe_bulk_xfer
577The root hub does not support bulk transfers.
578If for some reason one is requested on the root hub, the driver should return
579.Sy USB_NOT_SUPPORTED .
580.It Fn usba_hcdi_pipe_intr_xfer
581The root hub only supports periodic interrupt-IN transfers.
582If an interrupt-OUT transfer or an interrupt-IN transfer with the
583.Sy USB_ATTRS_ONE_XFER
584attribute is set, then the driver should return
585.Sy USB_NOT_SUPPORTED .
586.Pp
587Otherwise, this represents a request to begin polling on the status
588endpoint for a hub.
589This is a periodic request, see the section
590.Sx Device Addressing
591Every USB device has an address assigned to it.
592The addresses assigned to each controller are independent.
593The root hub of a given controller always has an address of
594.Dv ROOT_HUB_ADDR .
595.Pp
596In general, addresses are assigned by the USBA and stored in the
597.Sy usb_addr
598member of a
599.Xr usba_device_t 9S .
600However, some controllers, such as xHCI, require that they control the
601device addressing themselves to facilitate their functionality.
602In such a case, the USBA still assigns every device an address; however, the
603actual address on the bus will be different and assigned by the HCD
604driver.
605An HCD driver that needs to address devices itself must implement the
606.Xr usba_hcdi_device_address 9E
607entry point.
608.Sx Endpoint Polling
609more on the semantics of polling and periodic requests.
610.Pp
611Here, the device driver will need to provide data and perform a callback
612whenever the state of one of the ports changes on its virtual hub.
613Different drivers have different ways to perform this.
614For example, some hardware will provide an interrupt to indicate that a change
615has occurred.
616Other hardware does not, so this must be simulated.
617.Pp
618The way that the status data responses must be laid out is based in the
619USB specification.
620Generally, there is one bit per port and the driver sets the bit for the
621corresponding port that has had a change.
622.It Fn usba_hcdi_pipe_isoc_xfer
623The root hub does not support isochronous transfers.
624If for some reason one is requested on the root hub, the driver should return
625.It Fn usba_hcdi_pipe_close
626When a pipe to the root hub is closed, the device driver should tear
627down whatever it created as part of opening the pipe.
628In addition, if the pipe was an interrupt-IN pipe, if it has not already had
629polling stop, it should stop the polling as part of closing the pipe.
630.It Fn usba_hcdi_pipe_stop_intr_polling
631When a request to stop interrupt polling comes in and it is directed
632towards the root hub, the device driver should cease delivering
633callbacks upon changes in port status being detected.
634However, it should continue keeping track of what changes have occurred for the
635next time that polling starts.
636.Pp
637The primary request that was used to start polling should be returned,
638as with any other request to stop interrupt polling.
639.It Fn usba_hcdi_pipe_stop_isoc_polling
640The root hub does not support isochronous transfers.
641If for some reason it calls asking to stop polling on an isochronous transfer,
642the device driver should log an error and return
643.Sy USB_NOT_SUPPORTED .
644.El
645.Ss Endpoint Polling
646Both interrupt-IN and isochronous-IN endpoints are generally periodic or
647polled endpoints.
648interrupt-IN polling is indicated by the lack of the
649.Sy USB_ATTRS_ONE_XFER
650flag being set.
651All isochronous-IN transfer requests are requests for polling.
652.Pp
653Polling operates in a different fashion from traditional transfers.
654With a traditional transfer, a single request is made and a single callback
655is made for it, no more and no less.
656With a polling request, things are different.
657A single transfer request comes in; however, the driver needs to keep ensuring
658that transfers are being made within the polling bounds until a request to stop
659polling comes in or a fatal error is encountered.
660.Pp
661In many cases, as part of initializing the request, the driver will
662prepare several transfers such that there is always an active transfer,
663even if there is some additional latency in the system.
664This ensures that even if there is a momentary delay in the device driver
665processing a given transfer, I/O data will not be lost.
666.Pp
667The driver must not use the original request structure until it is ready
668to return due to a request to stop polling or an error.
669To obtain new interrupt and isochronous request structures, the driver should
670use the
671.Xr usba_hcdi_dup_intr_req 9F
672and
673.Xr usba_hcdi_dup_isoc_req 9F
674functions.
675These functions also allocate the resulting message blocks that data should be
676copied into.
677Note, it is possible that memory will not be available to duplicate such a
678request.
679In this case, the driver should use the original request to return an error and
680stop polling.
681.Ss Request Memory and DMA
682Each of the four transfer operations,
683.Xr usba_hcdi_pipe_ctrl_xfer 9E ,
684.Xr usba_hcdi_pipe_bulk_xfer 9E ,
685.Xr usba_hcdi_pipe_intr_xfer 9E ,
686and
687.Xr usba_hcdi_pipe_isoc_xfer 9E
688give data to hcdi drivers in the form of
689.Xr mblk 9S
690structures.
691To perform the individual transfers, most systems devices will leverage DMA.
692Drivers should allocate memory suitable for DMA for each transfer that they need
693to perform and copy the data to and from the message blocks.
694.Pp
695Device drivers should not use
696.Xr desballoc 9F
697to try and bind the memory used for DMA transfers to a message block nor
698should they bind the message block's read pointer to a DMA handle using
699.Xr ddi_dma_addr_bind_handle 9F .
700.Pp
701While this isn't a strict rule, the general framework does not assume
702that there are going to be outstanding message blocks that may be in use
703by the controller or belong to the controller outside of the boundaries
704of a given call to one of the transfer functions and its corresponding
705callback.
706.Ss Endpoint Timeouts
707The host controller is in charge of watching I/Os for timeouts.
708For any request that's not periodic (an interrupt-IN or isochronous-IN)
709transfer, the host controller must set up a timeout handler.
710If that timeout expires, it needs to stop the endpoint, remove that request, and
711return to the caller.
712.Pp
713The timeouts are specified in seconds in the request structures.
714For bulk timeouts, the request is in the
715.Sy bulk_timeout
716member of the
717.Xr usb_bulk_req 9S
718structure.
719The interrupt and control transfers also have a similar member in their request
720structures, see
721.Xr usb_intr_req 9S
722and
723.Xr usb_ctrl_req 9S .
724If any of the times is set to zero, the default USBA timeout should be
725used.
726In that case, drivers should set the value to the macro
727.Sy HCDI_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT ,
728which is a time in seconds.
729.Pp
730Isochronous-OUT transfers do not have a timeout defined on their request
731structure, the
732.Xr usb_isoc_req 9S .
733Due to the periodic nature of even outbound requests, it is less likely
734that a timeout will occur; however, driver writers are encouraged to
735still set up the default timeout,
736.Sy HCDI_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT ,
737on those transfers.
738.Pp
739The exact means of performing the timeout is best left to the driver
740writer as the way that hardware exposes scheduling of different
741endpoints will vary.
742One strategy to consider is to use the
743.Xr timeout 9F
744function at a one second period while I/O is ongoing on a per-endpoint
745basis.
746Because the time is measured in seconds, a driver writer can decrement a counter
747for a given outstanding transfer once a second and then if it reaches zero,
748interject and stop the endpoint and clean up.
749.Pp
750This has the added benefit that when no I/O is scheduled, then there
751will be no timer activity, reducing overall system load.
752.Ss Notable Types and Structures
753The following are data structures and types that are used throughout
754host controller drivers:
755.Bl -tag -width Vt
756.It Sy usb_cfg_descr
757The configuration descriptor.
758A device may have one or more configurations that it supports that can be
759switched between.
760The descriptor is documented in
761.Xr usb_cfg_descr 9S .
762.It Sy usb_dev_descr
763The device descriptor.
764A device descriptor contains basic properties of the device such as the USB
765version, device and vendor information, and the maximum packet size.
766This will often be used when setting up a device for the first time.
767It is documented in
768.Xr usb_dev_descr 9S .
769.It Sy usb_ep_descr
770The endpoint descriptor.
771An endpoint descriptor contains the basic properties of an endpoints such as its
772type and packet size.
773Every endpoint on a given USB device has an endpoint descriptor.
774It is documented in
775.Xr usb_ep_descr 9S .
776.It Sy usb_xep_descr
777The extended endpoint descriptor.
778This structure is used to contain the endpoint descriptor, but also additional
779endpoint companion descriptors which are a part of newer USB standards.
780It is documented in
781.Xr usb_ep_xdescr 9S .
782.It Sy usb_bulk_req
783This structure is filled out by client device drivers that want to make
784a bulk transfer request.
785Host controllers use this and act on it to perform bulk transfers to USB
786devices.
787The structure is documented in
788.Xr usb_bulk_req 9S .
789.It Sy usb_ctrl_req
790This structure is filled out by client device drivers that want to make
791a control transfer request.
792Host controllers use this and act on it to perform bulk transfers to USB
793devices.
794The structure is documented in
795.Xr usb_ctrl_req 9S .
796.It Sy usb_intr_req
797This structure is filled out by client device drivers that want to make
798an interrupt transfer request.
799Host controllers use this and act on it to perform bulk transfers to USB
800devices.
801The structure is documented in
802.Xr usb_intr_req 9S .
803.It Sy usb_isoc_req
804This structure is filled out by client device drivers that want to make
805an isochronous transfer request.
806Host controllers use this and act on it to perform bulk transfers to USB
807devices.
808The structure is documented in
809.Xr usb_isoc_req 9S .
810.It Vt usb_flags_t
811These define a set of flags that are used on certain entry points.
812These generally determine whether or not the entry points should block for
813memory allocation.
814Individual manual pages indicate the flags that drivers should consult.
815.It Vt usb_port_status_t
816The
817.Sy usb_port_status_t
818determines the current negotiated speed of the device.
819The following are valid values that this may be:
820.Bl -tag -width Sy
821.It Sy USBA_LOW_SPEED_DEV
822The device is running as a low speed device.
823This may be a USB 1.x or USB 2.0 device.
824.It Sy USBA_FULL_SPEED_DEV
825The device is running as a full speed device.
826This may be a USB 1.x or USB 2.0 device.
827.It Sy USBA_HIGH_SPEED_DEV
828The device is running as a high speed device.
829This is a USB 2.x device.
830.It Sy USBA_SUPER_SPEED_DEV
831The device is running as a super speed device.
832This is a USB 3.0 device.
833.It Vt usb_cr_t
834This is a set of codes that may be returned as a part of the call to
835.Xr usba_hcdi_cb 9F .
836The best place for the full set of these is currently in the source
837control headers.
838.El
839.El
840.Ss Interrupts
841While some hardware supports more than one interrupt queue, a single
842interrupt is generally sufficient for most host controllers.
843If the controller supports interrupt coalescing, then the driver should
844generally enable it and set it to a moderate rate.
845.Ss driver.conf considerations
846Due to the way host controller drivers need to interact with hotplug,
847drivers should generally set the
848.Sy ddi-forceattach
849property to one in their
850.Xr driver.conf 5
851file.
