.Sh DESCRIPTION
A pipe is a logical connection to an endpoint on a USB device.
The
.Fn usb_pipe_xopen
function creates such a logical connection and returns an
initialized handle which refers to that connection.
.Pp
The
.Em USB 3.0
specification defines four endpoint types, each with a
corresponding type of pipe.
Each of the four types of pipes uses its physical connection resource
differently.
They are:
.Bl -tag -width Sy
.It Sy Control Pipe
Used for bursty, non-periodic, reliable, host-initiated request/response
communication, such as for command/status operations.
These are guaranteed to get approximately 10% of frame time and will get more if
needed and if available, but there is no guarantee on transfer promptness.
Bidirectional.
.It Sy Bulk Pipe
Used for large, reliable, non-time-critical data transfers.
These get the bus on a bandwidth-available basis.
Unidirectional.
Sample uses include printer data.
.It Sy Interrupt Pipe
Used for sending or receiving small amounts of reliable data infrequently but
with bounded service periods, as for interrupt handling.
Unidirectional.
.It Sy Isochronous Pipe
Used for large, unreliable, time-critical data transfers.
Boasts a guaranteed constant data rate as long as there is data, but there are
no retries of failed transfers.
Interrupt and isochronous data are together guaranteed 90% of frame time as
needed.
Unidirectional.
Sample uses include audio.
.El
.Pp
The type of endpoint to which a pipe connects (and therefore the pipe type) is
defined by the
.Sy bmAttributes
field of that pipe's endpoint descriptor.
.Po
See
.Xr usb_ep_descr 9S
.Pc .
.Pp
Prior to the
.Em USB 3.0
specification, only the
.Xr usb_ep_descr 9S
was required to identify all of the attributes of a given pipe.
Starting with
.Em USB 3.0
there are additional endpoint companion descriptors required to open a
pipe.
To support SuperSpeed devices, the new
.Fn usb_pipe_xopen
function must be used rather than the older
.Fn usb_pipe_open
function.
The
.Xr usb_ep_xdescr 9S
structure can be automatically filled out and obtained by calling the
.Xr usb_ep_xdescr_fill 9F
function.
.Pp
Opens to interrupt and isochronous pipes can fail if the required bandwidth
cannot be guaranteed.
.Pp
The polling interval for periodic (interrupt or isochronous) pipes, carried by
the endpoint argument's bInterval field, must be within range.
Valid ranges are:
.Pp
Full speed: range of 1-255 maps to 1-255 ms.
.Pp
Low speed: range of 10-255 maps to 10-255 ms.
.Pp
High speed: range of 1-16 maps to (2**(bInterval-1)) * 125us.
.Pp
Super speed: range of 1-16 maps to (2**(bInterval-1)) * 125us.
.Pp
Adequate bandwidth during transfers is guaranteed for all periodic pipes which
are opened successfully.
Interrupt and isochronous pipes have guaranteed latency times, so bandwidth for
them is allocated when they are opened.
.Po
Please refer to Sections
.Em 4.4.7
and
.Em 4.4.8
of the
.Em USB 3.1
specification
which address isochronous and interrupt transfers.
.Pc
Opens of interrupt and isochronous pipes fail if inadequate bandwidth is
available to support their guaranteed latency time.
Because periodic pipe bandwidth is allocated on pipe open, open periodic pipes
only when needed.
.Pp
The bandwidth required by a device varies based on polling interval, the
maximum packet size
.Pq Sy wMaxPacketSize
and the device speed.
Unallocated bandwidth remaining for new devices depends on the bandwidth already
allocated for previously opened periodic pipes.
.Pp
The
.Em pipe_policy
parameter provides a hint as to pipe usage and must be specified.
It is a
.Em usb_pipe_policy_t
which contains the following fields:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
uchar_t         pp_max_async_reqs:
.Ed
.Pp
The
.Sy pp_max_async_reqs
member is a hint indicating how many asynchronous operations requiring
their own kernel thread will be concurrently in progress, the highest
number of threads ever needed at one time.
Allow at least one for synchronous callback handling and as many as are needed
to accommodate the anticipated parallelism of asynchronous* calls to the
following functions:
.Xr usb_pipe_close 9F ,
.Xr usb_set_cfg 9F ,
.Xr usb_set_alt_if 9F ,
.Xr usb_clr_feature 9F ,
.Xr usb_pipe_reset 9F ,
.Xr usb_pipe_drain_reqs 9F ,
.Xr usb_pipe_stop_intr_polling 9F ,
and
.Xr usb_pipe_stop_isoc_polling 9F .
.Pp
Setting to too small a value can deadlock the pipe.
Asynchronous calls are calls made without the
.Sy USB_FLAGS_SLEEP
flag being passed.
Note that a large number of callbacks becomes an issue mainly when blocking
functions are called from callback handlers.
.Pp
The control pipe to the default endpoints (endpoints for both directions with
addr 0, sometimes called the default control pipe or default pipe) comes
pre-opened by the hub.
A client driver receives the default control pipe handle through
.Xr usb_get_dev_data 9F .
A client driver cannot open the default
control pipe manually.
Note that the same control pipe may be shared among several drivers when a
device has multiple interfaces and each interface is operated by its own driver.
.Pp
All explicit pipe opens are exclusive; attempts to open an opened pipe fail.
.Pp
On success, the pipe_handle argument points to an opaque handle of the opened
pipe.
On failure, it is set to NULL.
.Sh CONTEXT
May be called from user or kernel context regardless of arguments.
May also be called from interrupt context if the
.Sy USB_FLAGS_SLEEP
option is not set.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Bl -tag -width Sy
.It Sy USB_SUCCESS
Open succeeded.
.It Sy USB_NO_RESOURCES
Insufficient resources were available.
.It Sy USB_NO_BANDWIDTH
Insufficient bandwidth available.
(isochronous and interrupt pipes).
.It Sy USB_INVALID_CONTEXT
Called from interrupt handler with USB_FLAGS_SLEEP set.
.It Sy USB_INVALID_ARGS
dip and/or pipe_handle is NULL.
Pipe_policy is NULL.
.It Sy USB_INVALID_PERM
Endpoint is NULL, signifying the default control pipe.
A client driver cannot open the default control pipe.
.It Sy USB_NOT_SUPPORTED
Isochronous or interrupt endpoint with maximum packet size of zero is not
supported.
.It Sy USB_HC_HARDWARE_ERROR
Host controller is in an error state.
.It Sy USB_FAILURE
Pipe is already open.
Host controller not in an operational state.
Polling interval
.Pq Sy Bep_descr bInterval No field
is out of range (intr or isoc pipes).
.Pp
The device referred to by
.Fa dip
is at least a SuperSpeed device and the older
.Fn usb_pipe_open
function was used.
