- First off, device drivers really do need to know if they are allocating
MSI or MSI-X messages. MSI requires allocating powerof2() messages for
example where MSI-X does not. To address this, split out the MSI-X
support from pci_msi_count() and pci_alloc_msi() into new driver-visible
functions pci_msix_count() and pci_alloc_msix(). As a result,
pci_msi_count() now just returns a count of the max supported MSI
messages for the device, and pci_alloc_msi() only tries to allocate MSI
messages. To get a count of the max supported MSI-X messages, use
pci_msix_count(). To allocate MSI-X messages, use pci_alloc_msix().
pci_release_msi() still handles both MSI and MSI-X messages, however.
As a result of this change, drivers using the existing API will only
use MSI messages and will no longer try to use MSI-X messages.
- Because MSI-X allows for each message to have its own data and address
values (and thus does not require all of the messages to have their
MD vectors allocated as a group), some devices allow for "sparse" use
of MSI-X message slots. For example, if a device supports 8 messages
but the OS is only able to allocate 2 messages, the device may make the
best use of 2 IRQs if it enables the messages at slots 1 and 4 rather
than default of using the first N slots (or indicies) at 1 and 2. To
support this, add a new pci_remap_msix() function that a driver may call
after a successful pci_alloc_msix() (but before allocating any of the
SYS_RES_IRQ resources) to allow the allocated IRQ resources to be
assigned to different message indices. For example, from the earlier
example, after pci_alloc_msix() returned a value of 2, the driver would
call pci_remap_msix() passing in array of integers { 1, 4 } as the
new message indices to use. The rid's for the SYS_RES_IRQ resources
will always match the message indices. Thus, after the call to
pci_remap_msix() the driver would be able to access the first message
in slot 1 at SYS_RES_IRQ rid 1, and the second message at slot 4 at
SYS_RES_IRQ rid 4. Note that the message slots/indices are 1-based
rather than 0-based so that they will always correspond to the rid
values (SYS_RES_IRQ rid 0 is reserved for the legacy INTx interrupt).
To support this API, a new PCIB_REMAP_MSIX() method was added to the
pcib interface to change the message index for a single IRQ.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
