56.El
57.Sh DESCRIPTION
58A pipe is a logical connection to an endpoint on a USB device.
59The
60.Fn usb_pipe_xopen
61function creates such a logical connection and returns an
62initialized handle which refers to that connection.
63.Pp
64The
65.Em USB 3.0
66specification defines four endpoint types, each with a
67corresponding type of pipe.
68Each of the four types of pipes uses its physical connection resource
69differently.
70They are:
71.Bl -tag -width Sy
72.It Sy Control Pipe
73Used for bursty, non-periodic, reliable, host-initiated request/response
74communication, such as for command/status operations.
75These are guaranteed to get approximately 10% of frame time and will get more if
76needed and if available, but there is no guarantee on transfer promptness.
77Bidirectional.
78.It Sy Bulk Pipe
79Used for large, reliable, non-time-critical data transfers.
80These get the bus on a bandwidth-available basis.
81Unidirectional.
82Sample uses include printer data.
83.It Sy Interrupt Pipe
84Used for sending or receiving small amounts of reliable data infrequently but
85with bounded service periods, as for interrupt handling.
86Unidirectional.
87.It Sy Isochronous Pipe
88Used for large, unreliable, time-critical data transfers.
89Boasts a guaranteed constant data rate as long as there is data, but there are
90no retries of failed transfers.
91Interrupt and isochronous data are together guaranteed 90% of frame time as
92needed.
93Unidirectional.
94Sample uses include audio.
95.El
96.Pp
97The type of endpoint to which a pipe connects (and therefore the pipe type) is
98defined by the
99.Sy bmAttributes
100field of that pipe's endpoint descriptor.
101.Po
102See
103.Xr usb_ep_descr 9S
104.Pc .
105.Pp
106Prior to the
107.Em USB 3.0
108specification, only the
109.Xr usb_ep_descr 9S
110was required to identify all of the attributes of a given pipe.
111Starting with
112.Em USB 3.0
113there are additional endpoint companion descriptors required to open a
114pipe.
115To support SuperSpeed devices, the new
116.Fn usb_pipe_xopen
117function must be used rather than the older
118.Fn usb_pipe_open
119function.
120The
121.Xr usb_ep_xdescr 9S
122structure can be automatically filled out and obtained by calling the
123.Xr usb_ep_xdescr_fill 9F
124function.
125.Pp
126Opens to interrupt and isochronous pipes can fail if the required bandwidth
127cannot be guaranteed.
128.Pp
129The polling interval for periodic (interrupt or isochronous) pipes, carried by
130the endpoint argument's bInterval field, must be within range.
131Valid ranges are:
132.Pp
133Full speed: range of 1-255 maps to 1-255 ms.
134.Pp
135Low speed: range of 10-255 maps to 10-255 ms.
136.Pp
137High speed: range of 1-16 maps to (2**(bInterval-1)) * 125us.
138.Pp
139Super speed: range of 1-16 maps to (2**(bInterval-1)) * 125us.
140.Pp
141Adequate bandwidth during transfers is guaranteed for all periodic pipes which
142are opened successfully.
143Interrupt and isochronous pipes have guaranteed latency times, so bandwidth for
144them is allocated when they are opened.
145.Po
146Please refer to Sections
147.Em 4.4.7
148and
149.Em 4.4.8
150of the
151.Em USB 3.1
152specification
153which address isochronous and interrupt transfers.
154.Pc
155Opens of interrupt and isochronous pipes fail if inadequate bandwidth is
156available to support their guaranteed latency time.
157Because periodic pipe bandwidth is allocated on pipe open, open periodic pipes
158only when needed.
159.Pp
160The bandwidth required by a device varies based on polling interval, the
161maximum packet size
162.Pq Sy wMaxPacketSize
163and the device speed.
164Unallocated bandwidth remaining for new devices depends on the bandwidth already
165allocated for previously opened periodic pipes.
166.Pp
167The
168.Em pipe_policy
169parameter provides a hint as to pipe usage and must be specified.
170It is a
171.Em usb_pipe_policy_t
172which contains the following fields:
173.Bd -literal -offset indent
174uchar_t         pp_max_async_reqs:
175.Ed
176.Pp
177The
178.Sy pp_max_async_reqs
179member is a hint indicating how many asynchronous operations requiring
180their own kernel thread will be concurrently in progress, the highest
181number of threads ever needed at one time.
182Allow at least one for synchronous callback handling and as many as are needed
183to accommodate the anticipated parallelism of asynchronous* calls to the
184following functions:
185.Xr usb_pipe_close 9F ,
186.Xr usb_set_cfg 9F ,
187.Xr usb_set_alt_if 9F ,
188.Xr usb_clr_feature 9F ,
189.Xr usb_pipe_reset 9F ,
190.Xr usb_pipe_drain_reqs 9F ,
191.Xr usb_pipe_stop_intr_polling 9F ,
192and
193.Xr usb_pipe_stop_isoc_polling 9F .
194.Pp
195Setting to too small a value can deadlock the pipe.
196Asynchronous calls are calls made without the
197.Sy USB_FLAGS_SLEEP
198flag being passed.
199Note that a large number of callbacks becomes an issue mainly when blocking
200functions are called from callback handlers.
201.Pp
202The control pipe to the default endpoints (endpoints for both directions with
203addr 0, sometimes called the default control pipe or default pipe) comes
204pre-opened by the hub.
205A client driver receives the default control pipe handle through
206.Xr usb_get_dev_data 9F .
207A client driver cannot open the default
208control pipe manually.
209Note that the same control pipe may be shared among several drivers when a
210device has multiple interfaces and each interface is operated by its own driver.
211.Pp
212All explicit pipe opens are exclusive; attempts to open an opened pipe fail.
213.Pp
214On success, the pipe_handle argument points to an opaque handle of the opened
215pipe.
216On failure, it is set to NULL.
217.Sh CONTEXT
218May be called from user or kernel context regardless of arguments.
219May also be called from interrupt context if the
220.Sy USB_FLAGS_SLEEP
221option is not set.
222.Sh RETURN VALUES
223.Bl -tag -width Sy
224.It Sy USB_SUCCESS
225Open succeeded.
226.It Sy USB_NO_RESOURCES
227Insufficient resources were available.
228.It Sy USB_NO_BANDWIDTH
229Insufficient bandwidth available.
230(isochronous and interrupt pipes).
231.It Sy USB_INVALID_CONTEXT
232Called from interrupt handler with USB_FLAGS_SLEEP set.
233.It Sy USB_INVALID_ARGS
234dip and/or pipe_handle is NULL.
235Pipe_policy is NULL.
236.It Sy USB_INVALID_PERM
237Endpoint is NULL, signifying the default control pipe.
238A client driver cannot open the default control pipe.
239.It Sy USB_NOT_SUPPORTED
240Isochronous or interrupt endpoint with maximum packet size of zero is not
241supported.
242.It Sy USB_HC_HARDWARE_ERROR
243Host controller is in an error state.
244.It Sy USB_FAILURE
245Pipe is already open.
246Host controller not in an operational state.
247Polling interval
248.Pq Sy Bep_descr bInterval No field
249is out of range (intr or isoc pipes).
250.Pp
251The device referred to by
252.Fa dip
253is at least a SuperSpeed device and the older
254.Fn usb_pipe_open
255function was used.
