Hi,

This series carries forward the effort to add Kselftest for PCI Endpoint
Subsystem started by Aman Gupta [1] a while ago. I reworked the initial version
based on another patch that fixes the return values of IOCTLs in
pci_endpoint_test driver and did many cleanups. Since the resulting work
modified the initial version substantially, I took over the authorship.

This series also incorporates the review comment by Shuah Khan [2] to move the
existing tests from 'tools/pci' to 'tools/testing/kselftest/pci_endpoint' before
migrating to Kselftest framework. I made sure that the tests are executable in
each commit and updated documentation accordingly.

[2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/b2a5db97-dc59-33ab-71cd-f591e0b1b34d@linuxfoundation.org

Changes in v4:

* Dropped the BAR fix patches and submitted them separately:
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20241231130224.38206-1-manivannan.sadhasivam@linaro.org/
* Rebased on top of pci/next 9e1b45d7a5bc0ad20f6b5267992da422884b916e

Changes in v3:

* Collected tags.
* Added a note about failing testcase 10 and command to skip it in
  documentation.
* Removed Aman Gupta and Padmanabhan Rajanbabu from CC as their addresses are
  bouncing.

Changes in v2:

* Added a patch that fixes return values of IOCTL in pci_endpoint_test driver
* Moved the existing tests to new location before migrating
* Added a fix for BARs on Qcom devices
* Updated documentation and also added fixture variants for memcpy & DMA modes

Hm.. this is strictly not correct. If will currently fail because pci-epf-test.c
does:
if ((reg->flags & FLAG_USE_DMA) && epf_test->dma_private)
	return -EINVAL;

So even if a DMA driver has support for the DMA_MEMCPY cap, if the DMA driver
also has the DMA_PRIVATE cap, this test will fail because of the code in
pci-epf-test.c.

Not sure how to formulate this properly... Perhaps:
Testcase 11 (pci_ep_data_transfer.dma.COPY_TEST) will fail for DMA drivers that
have the DMA_PRIVATE cap set. For DMA drivers which have the DMA_PRIVATE cap
set, it is advisable to skip the forementioned testcase using below command::

Is this really correct? I would guess that it should be
pci_endpoint_test -f pci_ep_data_transfer -v memcpy -T COPY_TEST -v dma

Right. But I think the condition should be changed to test for the MEMCPY
capability instead. Like,

That check does seem to make more sense than the code that is currently there.
(Perhaps send this as a proper patch?)
Note that I'm not an expert at dmaengine.

I have some patches that adds DMA_MEMCPY to dw-edma, but I'm not sure if the DWC eDMA hardware supports having both src and dst as PCI addresses, or if only one of them can be a PCI address (with the other one being a local address).

If only one of them can be a PCI address, then I'm not sure if your suggested patch is correct.


Kind regards,
Niklas

I don't see why that would be an issue. DMA_MEMCPY is independent of PCI/local
addresses. If a dmaengine driver support doing MEMCPY, then the dma cap should
be sufficient. As you said, if a controller supports both SLAVE and MEMCPY, the
test currently errors out, which is wrong.

While I am okay with your suggested change to pci-epf-test.c:

Since this will ensure that a DMA driver implementing DMA_MEMCPY,
which cannot be shared (has DMA_PRIVATE set), will not error out.


What I'm trying to explain is that in:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/Z2BW4CjdE1p50AhC@vaman/
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20241217090129.6dodrgi4tn7l3cod@thinkpad/

Vinod (any you) suggested that we should add support for prep_memcpy()
(which implies also setting cap DMA_MEMCPY) in the dw-edma DMA driver.

However, from section "6.3 Using the DMA" in the DWC databook,
the DWC eDMA hardware only supports:
- Transfer (copy) of a block of data from local memory to remote memory.
- Transfer (copy) of a block of data from remote memory to local memory.


Currently, we have:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.13-rc5/include/linux/dmaengine.h#L843-L844
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.13-rc5/drivers/dma/dw-edma/dw-edma-core.c#L215-L231

Where we can expose per-channel capabilities, so we set MEM_TO_DEV/DEV_TO_MEM
per channel, however, these are returned in a struct dma_slave_caps *caps,
so this is AFAICT only for DMA_SLAVE, not for DMA_MEMCPY.

Looking at:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.13-rc5/include/linux/dmaengine.h#L975-L979
it seems that DMA_MEMCPY is always assumed to be MEM_TO_MEM.

To me, it seems that we would either need a new dma_transaction_type (e.g. DMA_COPY)
where we can set dir:
MEM_TO_DEV, DEV_TO_MEM, or DEV_TO_DEV. (dw-edma would not support DEV_TO_DEV.)

Or, if we should stick with DMA_MEMCPY, we would need another way of telling
client drivers that only src or dst can be a remote address.

Until this is solved, I think I will stop my work on adding DMA_MEMCPY to the
dw-edma driver.


Kind regards,
Niklas
