  Theory of Operation
  
  I Hardware, detection, initialisation and shutdown.
  
  1. Supported Hardware
  
  This driver is for the PCI ATMizer-based Ambassador card (except
  very early versions). It is not suitable for the similar EISA "TR7"
  card. Commercially, both cards are known as Collage Server ATM
  adapters.
  
  The loader supports image transfer to the card, image start and few
  other miscellaneous commands.
  
  Only AAL5 is supported with vpi = 0 and vci in the range 0 to 1023.
  
  The cards are big-endian.
  
  2. Detection
  
  Standard PCI stuff, the early cards are detected and rejected.
  
  3. Initialisation
  
  The cards are reset and the self-test results are checked. The
  microcode image is then transferred and started. This waits for a
  pointer to a descriptor containing details of the host-based queues
  and buffers and various parameters etc. Once they are processed
  normal operations may begin. The BIA is read using a microcode
  command.
  
  4. Shutdown
  
  This may be accomplished either by a card reset or via the microcode
  shutdown command. Further investigation required.
  
  5. Persistent state
  
  The card reset does not affect PCI configuration (good) or the
  contents of several other "shared run-time registers" (bad) which
  include doorbell and interrupt control as well as EEPROM and PCI
  control. The driver must be careful when modifying these registers
  not to touch bits it does not use and to undo any changes at exit.
  
  II Driver software
  
  0. Generalities
  
  The adapter is quite intelligent (fast) and has a simple interface
  (few features). VPI is always zero, 1024 VCIs are supported. There
  is limited cell rate support. UBR channels can be capped and ABR
  (explicit rate, but not EFCI) is supported. There is no CBR or VBR
  support.
  
  1. Driver <-> Adapter Communication
  
  Apart from the basic loader commands, the driver communicates
  through three entities: the command queue (CQ), the transmit queue
  pair (TXQ) and the receive queue pairs (RXQ). These three entities
  are set up by the host and passed to the microcode just after it has
  been started.
  
  All queues are host-based circular queues. They are contiguous and
  (due to hardware limitations) have some restrictions as to their
  locations in (bus) memory. They are of the "full means the same as
  empty so don't do that" variety since the adapter uses pointers
  internally.
  
  The queue pairs work as follows: one queue is for supply to the
  adapter, items in it are pending and are owned by the adapter; the
  other is the queue for return from the adapter, items in it have
  been dealt with by the adapter. The host adds items to the supply
  (TX descriptors and free RX buffer descriptors) and removes items
  from the return (TX and RX completions). The adapter deals with out
  of order completions.
  
  Interrupts (card to host) and the doorbell (host to card) are used
  for signalling.
  
  1. CQ
  
  This is to communicate "open VC", "close VC", "get stats" etc. to
  the adapter. At most one command is retired every millisecond by the
  card. There is no out of order completion or notification. The
  driver needs to check the return code of the command, waiting as
  appropriate.
  
  2. TXQ
  
  TX supply items are of variable length (scatter gather support) and
  so the queue items are (more or less) pointers to the real thing.
  Each TX supply item contains a unique, host-supplied handle (the skb
  bus address seems most sensible as this works for Alphas as well,
  there is no need to do any endian conversions on the handles).
  
  TX return items consist of just the handles above.
  
  3. RXQ (up to 4 of these with different lengths and buffer sizes)
  
  RX supply items consist of a unique, host-supplied handle (the skb
  bus address again) and a pointer to the buffer data area.
  
  RX return items consist of the handle above, the VC, length and a
  status word. This just screams "oh so easy" doesn't it?

  Note on RX pool sizes:
   
  Each pool should have enough buffers to handle a back-to-back stream
  of minimum sized frames on a single VC. For example:
  
    frame spacing = 3us (about right)
    
    delay = IRQ lat + RX handling + RX buffer replenish = 20 (us)  (a guess)
    
    min number of buffers for one VC = 1 + delay/spacing (buffers)

    delay/spacing = latency = (20+2)/3 = 7 (buffers)  (rounding up)
    
  The 20us delay assumes that there is no need to sleep; if we need to
  sleep to get buffers we are going to drop frames anyway.
  
  In fact, each pool should have enough buffers to support the
  simultaneous reassembly of a separate frame on each VC and cope with
  the case in which frames complete in round robin cell fashion on
  each VC.
  
  Only one frame can complete at each cell arrival, so if "n" VCs are
  open, the worst case is to have them all complete frames together
  followed by all starting new frames together.
  
    desired number of buffers = n + delay/spacing
    
  These are the extreme requirements, however, they are "n+k" for some
  "k" so we have only the constant to choose. This is the argument
  rx_lats which current defaults to 7.
  
  Actually, "n ? n+k : 0" is better and this is what is implemented,
  subject to the limit given by the pool size.
  
  4. Driver locking
  
  Simple spinlocks are used around the TX and RX queue mechanisms.
  Anyone with a faster, working method is welcome to implement it.
  
  The adapter command queue is protected with a spinlock. We always
  wait for commands to complete.
  
  A more complex form of locking is used around parts of the VC open
  and close functions. There are three reasons for a lock: 1. we need
  to do atomic rate reservation and release (not used yet), 2. Opening
  sometimes involves two adapter commands which must not be separated
  by another command on the same VC, 3. the changes to RX pool size
  must be atomic. The lock needs to work over context switches, so we
  use a semaphore.
  
  III Hardware Features and Microcode Bugs
  
  1. Byte Ordering
  
  *%^"$&%^$*&^"$(%^$#&^%$(&#%$*(&^#%!"!"!*!
  
  2. Memory access
  
  All structures that are not accessed using DMA must be 4-byte
  aligned (not a problem) and must not cross 4MB boundaries.
  
  There is a DMA memory hole at E0000000-E00000FF (groan).
  
  TX fragments (DMA read) must not cross 4MB boundaries (would be 16MB
  but for a hardware bug).
  
  RX buffers (DMA write) must not cross 16MB boundaries and must
  include spare trailing bytes up to the next 4-byte boundary; they
  will be written with rubbish.
  
  The PLX likes to prefetch; if reading up to 4 u32 past the end of
  each TX fragment is not a problem, then TX can be made to go a
  little faster by passing a flag at init that disables a prefetch
  workaround. We do not pass this flag. (new microcode only)
  
  Now we:
  . Note that alloc_skb rounds up size to a 16byte boundary.  
  . Ensure all areas do not traverse 4MB boundaries.
  . Ensure all areas do not start at a E00000xx bus address.
  (I cannot be certain, but this may always hold with Linux)
  . Make all failures cause a loud message.
  . Discard non-conforming SKBs (causes TX failure or RX fill delay).
  . Discard non-conforming TX fragment descriptors (the TX fails).
  In the future we could:
  . Allow RX areas that traverse 4MB (but not 16MB) boundaries.
  . Segment TX areas into some/more fragments, when necessary.
  . Relax checks for non-DMA items (ignore hole).
  . Give scatter-gather (iovec) requirements using ???. (?)
  
  3. VC close is broken (only for new microcode)
  
  The VC close adapter microcode command fails to do anything if any
  frames have been received on the VC but none have been transmitted.
  Frames continue to be reassembled and passed (with IRQ) to the
  driver.
  
  IV To Do List
  
  . Fix bugs!
  
  . Timer code may be broken.
  
  . Deal with buggy VC close (somehow) in microcode 12.
  
  . Handle interrupted and/or non-blocking writes - is this a job for
    the protocol layer?
  
  . Add code to break up TX fragments when they span 4MB boundaries.
  
  . Add SUNI phy layer (need to know where SUNI lives on card).
  
  . Implement a tx_alloc fn to (a) satisfy TX alignment etc. and (b)
    leave extra headroom space for Ambassador TX descriptors.
  
  . Understand these elements of struct atm_vcc: recvq (proto?),
    sleep, callback, listenq, backlog_quota, reply and user_back.
  
  . Adjust TX/RX skb allocation to favour IP with LANE/CLIP (configurable).
  
  . Impose a TX-pending limit (2?) on each VC, help avoid TX q overflow.
  
  . Decide whether RX buffer recycling is or can be made completely safe;
    turn it back on. It looks like Werner is going to axe this.
  
  . Implement QoS changes on open VCs (involves extracting parts of VC open
    and close into separate functions and using them to make changes).
  
  . Hack on command queue so that someone can issue multiple commands and wait
    on the last one (OR only "no-op" or "wait" commands are waited for).
  
  . Eliminate need for while-schedule around do_command.
