387.Sh DESCRIPTION
388The
389.Nm
390functions exist to allow device drivers
391machine-independent access to bus memory and register areas.
392All of the functions and types described in this document can be used
393by including the
394.In sys/bus.h
395header file.
396.Pp
397Many common devices are used on multiple architectures, but are accessed
398differently on each because of architectural constraints.
399For instance, a device which is mapped in one system's I/O space may be
400mapped in memory space on a second system.
401On a third system, architectural limitations might change the way
402registers need to be accessed (e.g., creating a non-linear register space).
403In some cases, a single
404driver may need to access the same type of device in multiple ways in a
405single system or architecture.
406The goal of the
407.Nm
408functions is to allow a single driver source file to manipulate a set
409of devices on different system architectures, and to allow a single driver
410object file to manipulate a set of devices on multiple bus types on a
411single architecture.
412.Pp
413Not all busses have to implement all functions described in this
414document, though that is encouraged if the operations are logically
415supported by the bus.
416Unimplemented functions should cause compile-time errors if possible.
417.Pp
418All of the interface definitions described in this document are shown as
419function prototypes and discussed as if they were required to be
420functions.
421Implementations are encouraged to implement prototyped (type-checked)
422versions of these interfaces, but may implement them as macros if appropriate.
423Machine-dependent types, variables, and functions should be marked clearly in
424.In machine/bus_defs.h
425and in
426.In machine/bus_funcs.h
427to avoid confusion with the
428machine-independent types and functions, and, if possible, should be
429given names which make the machine-dependence clear.
430.Sh CONCEPTS AND GUIDELINES
431Bus spaces are described by bus space tags, which can be created only by
432machine-dependent code.
433A given machine may have several different types of bus space
434(e.g., memory space and I/O space), and thus may provide multiple different
435bus space tags.
436Individual busses or devices on a machine may use more than one bus space
437tag.
438For instance, ISA devices are given an ISA memory space tag and an
439ISA I/O space tag.
440Architectures may have several different tags which represent the same
441type of space, for instance because of multiple different host bus
442interface chipsets.
443.Pp
444A range in bus space is described by a bus address and a bus size.
445The bus address describes the start of the range in bus space.
446The bus size describes the size of the range in bytes.
447Busses which are not byte addressable may require use of bus space ranges
448with appropriately aligned addresses and properly rounded sizes.
449.Pp
450Access to regions of bus space is facilitated by use of bus space handles,
451which are usually created by mapping a specific range of a bus space.
452Handles may also be created by allocating
453and mapping a range of bus space, the actual location of which is picked
454by the implementation within bounds specified by the caller of the
455allocation function.
456.Pp
457All of the bus space access functions require one bus space tag
458argument, at least one handle argument, and at least one offset argument
459(a bus size).
460The bus space tag specifies the space, each handle specifies a region in
461the space, and each offset specifies the offset into the region of the
462actual location(s) to be accessed.
463Offsets are given in bytes, though busses may impose alignment constraints.
464The offset used to access data relative to a given handle must be such
465that all of the data being accessed is in the mapped region that the
466handle describes.
467Trying to access data outside that region is an error.
468.Pp
469Because some architectures' memory systems use buffering to improve
470memory and device access performance, there is a mechanism which can be
471used to create
472.Dq barriers
473in the bus space read and write stream.
474.Pp
475There are two types of barriers: ordering barriers and completion
476barriers.
477.Pp
478Ordering barriers prevent some operations from bypassing other
479operations.
480They are relatively light weight and described in terms of the
481operations they are intended to order.
482The important thing to note is that they create specific ordering
483constraint surrounding bus accesses but do not necessarily force any
484synchronization themselves.
485So, if there is enough distance between the memory operations being
486ordered, the preceding ones could complete by themselves resulting
487in no performance penalty.
488.Pp
489For instance, a write before read barrier will force any writes
490issued before the barrier instruction to complete before any reads
491after the barrier are issued.
492This forces processors with write buffers to read data from memory rather
493than from the pending write in the write buffer.
494.Pp
495Ordering barriers are usually sufficient for most circumstances,
496and can be combined together.
497For instance a read before write barrier can be combined with a write
498before write barrier to force all memory operations to complete before
499the next write is started.
500.Pp
501Completion barriers force all memory operations and any pending
502exceptions to be completed before any instructions after the
503barrier may be issued.
504Completion barriers are extremely expensive and almost never required
505in device driver code.
506A single completion barrier can force the processor to stall on memory
507for hundreds of cycles on some machines.
508.Pp
509Correctly-written drivers will include all appropriate barriers,
510and assume only the read/write ordering imposed by the barrier
511operations.
512.Pp
513People trying to write portable drivers with the
514.Nm
515functions should
516try to make minimal assumptions about what the system allows.
517In particular, they should expect that the system requires bus space
518addresses being accessed to be naturally aligned (i.e., base address of
519handle added to offset is a multiple of the access size), and that the
520system does alignment checking on pointers (i.e., pointer to objects being
521read and written must point to properly-aligned data).
522.Pp
523The descriptions of the
524.Nm
525functions given below all assume that
526they are called with proper arguments.
527If called with invalid arguments or arguments that are out of range
528(e.g., trying to access data outside of the region mapped when a given
529handle was created), undefined behaviour results.
530In that case, they may cause the system to halt, either intentionally
531(via panic) or unintentionally (by causing a fatal trap or by some other
532means) or may cause improper operation which is not immediately fatal.
533Functions which return void or which return data read from bus space
534(i.e., functions which don't obviously return an error code) do not fail.
535They could only fail if given invalid arguments, and in that case their
536behaviour is undefined.
537Functions which take a count of bytes have undefined results if the specified
538.Fa count
539is zero.
540.Sh TYPES
541Several types are defined in
542.In machine/bus_defs.h
543to facilitate use of the
544.Nm
545functions by drivers.
546.Pp
547.Bl -ohang -compact
548.It Fa bus_addr_t
549.Pp
550The
551.Fa bus_addr_t
552type is used to describe bus addresses.
553It must be an unsigned integral type capable of holding the largest bus
554address usable by the architecture.
555This type is primarily used when mapping and unmapping bus space.
556.Pp
557.It Fa bus_size_t
558.Pp
559The
560.Fa bus_size_t
561type is used to describe sizes of ranges in bus space.
562It must be an unsigned integral type capable of holding the size of the
563largest bus address range usable on the architecture.
564This type is used by virtually all of the
565.Nm
566functions, describing sizes when mapping regions and
567offsets into regions when performing space access operations.
568.Pp
569.It Fa bus_space_tag_t
570.Pp
571The
572.Fa bus_space_tag_t
573type is used to describe a particular bus space on a machine.
574Its contents are machine-dependent and should be considered opaque by
575machine-independent code.
576This type is used by all
577.Nm
578functions to name the space on which they're operating.
579.Pp
580.It Fa bus_space_handle_t
581.Pp
582The
583.Fa bus_space_handle_t
584type is used to describe a mapping of a range of bus space.
585Its contents are machine-dependent and should be considered opaque by
586machine-independent code.
587This type is used when performing bus space access operations.
588.It Fa bus_space_reservation_t
589.Pp
590The
591.Fa bus_space_reservation_t
592type is used to describe a range of bus space.
593It logically consists of a
594.Fa bus_addr_t ,
595the first address in the range,
596and a
597.Fa bus_size_t ,
598the length in bytes of the range.
599Machine-independent code creates and interrogates a
600.Fa bus_space_reservation_t
601using a constructor,
602.Fn bus_space_reservation_init ,
603and accessor functions,
604.Fn bus_space_reservation_addr
605and
606.Fn bus_space_reservation_size .
607.El
608.Sh COMPARING BUS SPACE TAGS
609To check whether or not one
610.Fa bus_space_tag_t
611refers to the same space as another in machine-independent code,
612do not use either
613.Xr memcmp 9
614or the C equals
615.Po
616==
617.Pc
618operator.
619Use
620.Fn bus_space_is_equal ,
621instead.
622.Sh MAPPING AND UNMAPPING BUS SPACE
623Bus space must be mapped before it can be used, and should be
624unmapped when it is no longer needed.
625The
626.Fn bus_space_map ,
627.Fn bus_space_reservation_map ,
628.Fn bus_space_reservation_unmap ,
629and
630.Fn bus_space_unmap
631functions provide these capabilities.
632.Pp
633Some drivers need to be able to pass a subregion of already-mapped bus
634space to another driver or module within a driver.
635The
636.Fn bus_space_subregion
637function allows such subregions to be created.
638.Pp
639.Bl -ohang -compact
640.It Fn bus_space_map "space" "address" "size" "flags" "handlep"
641.Pp
642The
643.Fn bus_space_map
644function exclusively reserves and maps the region of bus space named by the
645.Fa space ,
646.Fa address ,
647and
648.Fa size
649arguments.
650If successful, it returns zero and fills in the bus space handle pointed
651to by
652.Fa handlep
653with the handle
654that can be used to access the mapped region.
655If unsuccessful, it will return non-zero and leave the bus space handle
656pointed to by
657.Fa handlep
658in an undefined state.
659.Pp
660The
661.Fa flags
662argument controls how the space is to be mapped.
663Supported flags include:
664.Bl -tag -width BUS_SPACE_MAP_CACHEABLE -offset indent
665.It Dv BUS_SPACE_MAP_CACHEABLE
666Try to map the space so that accesses can be cached
667by the system cache.
668If this flag is not specified, the implementation should map the space so
669that it will not be cached.
670This mapping method will only be useful in very rare occasions.
671.Pp
672This flag must have a value of 1 on all implementations for backward
673compatibility.
674.It Dv BUS_SPACE_MAP_PREFETCHABLE
675Try to map the space so that accesses can be prefetched by the system,
676and writes can be buffered.
677This means, accesses should be side effect free (idempotent).
678The
679.Fn bus_space_barrier
680methods will flush the write buffer or force actual read accesses.
681If this flag is not specified, the
682implementation should map the space so that it will not be prefetched
683or delayed.
684.It Dv BUS_SPACE_MAP_LINEAR
685Try to map the space so that its contents can be accessed linearly via
686normal memory access methods (e.g., pointer dereferencing and structure
687accesses).
688The
689.Fn bus_space_vaddr
690method can be used to obtain the kernel virtual address of the mapped range.
691This is useful when software wants to do direct access to a memory
692device, e.g., a frame buffer.
693If this flag is specified and linear mapping is not possible, the
694.Fn bus_space_map
695call should fail.
696If this flag is not specified, the system may map the space in whatever
697way is most convenient.
698Use of this mapping method is not encouraged for normal device access;
699where linear access is not essential, use of the
700.Fn bus_space_read/write
701methods is strongly recommended.
702.El
703.Pp
704Not all combinations of flags make sense or are supported with all
705spaces.
706For instance,
707.Dv BUS_SPACE_MAP_CACHEABLE
708may be meaningless when
709used on many systems' I/O port spaces, and on some systems
710.Dv BUS_SPACE_MAP_LINEAR
711without
712.Dv BUS_SPACE_MAP_PREFETCHABLE
713may never work.
714When the system hardware or firmware provides hints as to how spaces should be
715mapped (e.g., the PCI memory mapping registers' "prefetchable" bit), those
716hints should be followed for maximum compatibility.
717On some systems, requesting a mapping that cannot be satisfied (e.g.,
718requesting a non-prefetchable mapping when the system can only provide
719a prefetchable one) will cause the request to fail.
720.Pp
721Some implementations may keep track of use of bus space for some or all
722bus spaces and refuse to allow duplicate allocations.
723This is encouraged for bus spaces which have no notion of slot-specific
724space addressing, such as ISA and VME, and for spaces which coexist with
725those spaces (e.g., EISA and PCI memory and I/O spaces co-existing with
726ISA memory and I/O spaces).
727.Pp
728Mapped regions may contain areas for which there is no device on the bus.
729If space in those areas is accessed, the results are bus-dependent.
730.Pp
731.It Fn bus_space_reservation_map "space" "bsr" "flags" "handlep"
732.Pp
733The
734.Fn bus_space_reservation_map
735function is similar to
736.Fn bus_space_map
737but it maps a region of bus space
738that was previously reserved by a call to
739.Fn bus_space_reserve
740or
741.Fn bus_space_reserve_subregion .
742The region is given by the
743.Fa space
744and
745.Fa bsr
746arguments.
747If successful, it returns zero and fills in the bus space handle pointed
748to by
749.Fa handlep
750with the handle that can be used to access the mapped region.
751If unsuccessful, it will return non-zero and leave the bus space handle
752pointed to by
753.Fa handlep
754in an undefined state.
755.Pp
756A region mapped by
757.Fn bus_space_reservation_map
758may only be unmapped by a call to
759.Fn bus_space_reservation_unmap .
760.Pp
761For more details, see the description of
762.Fn bus_space_map .
763.Pp
764.It Fn bus_space_unmap "space" "handle" "size"
765.Pp
766The
767.Fn bus_space_unmap
768function unmaps and relinquishes a region of bus space reserved and
769mapped with
770.Fn bus_space_map .
771When unmapping a region, the
772.Fa size
773specified should be
774the same as the size given to
775.Fn bus_space_map
776when mapping that region.
777.Pp
778After
779.Fn bus_space_unmap
780is called on a handle, that handle is no longer valid.
781(If copies were made of the handle they are no longer valid, either.)
782.Pp
783This function will never fail.
784If it would fail (e.g., because of an argument error), that indicates
785a software bug which should cause a panic.
786In that case,
787.Fn bus_space_unmap
788will never return.
789.Pp
790.It Fn bus_space_reservation_unmap "space" "handle" "size"
791.Pp
792The
793.Fn bus_space_reservation_unmap
794function is similar to
795.Fn bus_space_unmap
796but it should be called on handles
797mapped by
798.Fn bus_space_reservation_map
799and only on such handles.
800Unlike
801.Fn bus_space_unmap ,
802.Fn bus_space_reservation_unmap
803does not relinquish exclusive use of the bus space named by
804.Fa handle
805and
806.Fa size ;
807that is the job of
808.Fn bus_space_release .
809.Pp
810.It Fn bus_space_subregion "space" "handle" "offset" "size" "nhandlep"
811.Pp
812The
813.Fn bus_space_subregion
814function is a convenience function which makes a
815new handle to some subregion of an already-mapped region of bus space.
816The subregion described by the new handle starts at byte offset
817.Fa offset
818into the region described by
819.Fa handle ,
820with the size given by
821.Fa size ,
822and must be wholly contained within the original region.
823.Pp
824If successful,
825.Fn bus_space_subregion
826returns zero and fills in the bus
827space handle pointed to by
828.Fa nhandlep .
829If unsuccessful, it returns non-zero and leaves the bus space handle
830pointed to by
831.Fa nhandlep
832in an
833undefined state.
834In either case, the handle described by
835.Fa handle
836remains valid and is unmodified.
837.Pp
838When done with a handle created by
839.Fn bus_space_subregion ,
840the handle should
841be thrown away.
842Under no circumstances should
843.Fn bus_space_unmap
844be used on the handle.
845Doing so may confuse any resource management being done on the space,
846and will result in undefined behaviour.
847When
848.Fn bus_space_unmap
849or
850.Fn bus_space_free
851is called on a handle, all subregions of that handle become invalid.
852.Pp
853.It Fn bus_space_vaddr "tag" "handle"
854.Pp
855This method returns the kernel virtual address of a mapped bus space if and
856only if it was mapped with the
857.Dv BUS_SPACE_MAP_LINEAR
858flag.
859The range can be accessed by normal (volatile) pointer dereferences.
860If mapped with the
861.Dv BUS_SPACE_MAP_PREFETCHABLE
862flag, the
863.Fn bus_space_barrier
864method must be used to force a particular access order.
865.Pp
866.It Fn bus_space_mmap "tag" "addr" "off" "prot" "flags"
867.Pp
868This method is used to provide support for memory mapping bus space
869into user applications.
870If an address space is addressable via volatile pointer dereferences,
871.Fn bus_space_mmap
872will return the physical address (possibly encoded as a machine-dependent
873cookie) of the bus space indicated by
874.Fa addr
875and
876.Fa off .
877.Fa addr
878is the base address of the device or device region, and
879.Fa off
880is the offset into that region that is being requested.
881If the request is made with
882.Dv BUS_SPACE_MAP_LINEAR
883as a flag, then a linear region must be returned to the caller.
884If the region cannot be mapped (either the address does not exist,
885or the constraints can not be met),
886.Fn bus_space_mmap
887returns
888.Dv -1
889to indicate failure.
890.Pp
891Note that it is not necessary that the region being requested by a
892.Fn bus_space_mmap
893call be mapped into a
894.Fa bus_space_handle_t .
895.Pp
896.Fn bus_space_mmap
897is called once per
898.Dv PAGE_SIZE
899page in the range.
900The
901.Fa prot
902argument indicates the memory protection requested by the user application
903for the range.
904.Pp
905.It Fn bus_space_handle_is_equal "space" "handle1" "handle2"
906Use
907.Fn bus_space_handle_is_equal
908to check whether or not
909.Fa handle1
910and
911.Fa handle2
912refer to regions starting at the same address in the bus space
913.Fa space .
914.El
915.Sh ALLOCATING AND FREEING BUS SPACE
916Some devices require or allow bus space to be allocated by the operating
917system for device use.
918When the devices no longer need the space, the
919operating system should free it for use by other devices.
920The
921.Fn bus_space_alloc ,
922.Fn bus_space_free ,
923.Fn bus_space_reserve ,
924.Fn bus_space_reserve_subregion ,
925and
926.Fn bus_space_release
927functions provide these capabilities.
928The functions
929.Fn bus_space_reserve ,
930.Fn bus_space_reserve_subregion ,
931and
932.Fn bus_space_release
933are not yet available on all architectures.
934.Pp
935.Bl -ohang -compact
936.It Fn bus_space_alloc "space" "reg_start" "reg_end" "size" "alignment" \
937"boundary" "flags" "addrp" "handlep"
938.Pp
939The
940.Fn bus_space_alloc
941function allocates and maps a region of bus space with the size given by
942.Fa size ,
943corresponding to the given constraints.
944If successful, it returns zero, fills in the bus address pointed to by
945.Fa addrp
946with the bus space address of the allocated region, and fills in
947the bus space handle pointed to by
948.Fa handlep
949with the handle that can be used to access that region.
950If unsuccessful, it returns non-zero and leaves the bus address pointed to by
951.Fa addrp
952and the bus space handle pointed to by
953.Fa handlep
954in an undefined state.
955.Pp
956Constraints on the allocation are given by the
957.Fa reg_start ,
958.Fa reg_end ,
959.Fa alignment ,
960and
961.Fa boundary
962parameters.
963The allocated region will start at or after
964.Fa reg_start
965and end before or at
966.Fa reg_end .
967The
968.Fa alignment
969constraint must be a power of two, and the allocated region will start at
970an address that is an even multiple of that power of two.
971The
972.Fa boundary
973constraint, if non-zero, ensures that the region is allocated so that
974.Fa "first address in region"
975/
976.Fa boundary
977has the same value as
978.Fa "last address in region"
979/
980.Fa boundary .
981If the constraints cannot be met,
982.Fn bus_space_alloc
983will fail.
984It is an error to specify a set of constraints that can never be met
985.Po
986for example,
987.Fa size
988greater than
989.Fa boundary
990.Pc .
991.Pp
992The
993.Fa flags
994parameter is the same as the like-named parameter to
995.Fa bus_space_map ,
996the same flag values should be used, and they have the
997same meanings.
998.Pp
999Handles created by
1000.Fn bus_space_alloc
1001should only be freed with
1002.Fn bus_space_free .
1003Trying to use
1004.Fn bus_space_unmap
1005on them causes undefined behaviour.
1006The
1007.Fn bus_space_subregion
1008function can be used on handles created by
1009.Fn bus_space_alloc .
1010.Pp
1011.It Fn bus_space_reserve "t" "bpa" "size" "flags" "bsrp"
1012.Pp
1013The
1014.Fn bus_space_reserve
1015function reserves, for the caller's exclusive use,
1016.Fa size

1236.Sh PROBING BUS SPACE FOR HARDWARE WHICH MAY NOT RESPOND
1237One problem with the
1238.Fn bus_space_read_N
1239and
1240.Fn bus_space_write_N
1241family of functions is that they provide no protection against
1242exceptions which can occur when no physical hardware or
1243device responds to the read or write cycles.
1244In such a situation, the system typically would panic due to a kernel-mode
1245bus error.
1246The
1247.Fn bus_space_peek_N
1248and
1249.Fn bus_space_poke_N
1250family of functions provide a mechanism to handle these exceptions
1251gracefully without the risk of crashing the system.
1252.Pp
1253As with
1254.Fn bus_space_read_N
1255and
1256.Fn bus_space_write_N ,
1257the peek and poke functions provide the ability to read and
1258write 1, 2, 4, and 8 byte data items on busses which support those
1259access sizes.
1260All of the constraints specified in the descriptions of the
1261.Fn bus_space_read_N
1262and
1263.Fn bus_space_write_N
1264functions also apply to
1265.Fn bus_space_peek_N
1266and
1267.Fn bus_space_poke_N .
1268.Pp
1269In addition, explicit calls to the
1270.Fn bus_space_barrier
1271function are not required as the implementation will ensure all
1272pending operations complete before the peek or poke operation starts.
1273The implementation will also ensure that the peek or poke operations
1274complete before returning.
1275.Pp
1276The return value indicates the outcome of the peek or poke operation.
1277A return value of zero implies that a hardware device is
1278responding to the operation at the specified offset in the bus space.
1279A non-zero return value indicates that the kernel intercepted a
1280hardware exception (e.g., bus error) when the peek or poke operation
1281was attempted.
1282Note that some busses are incapable of generating exceptions when
1283non-existent hardware is accessed.
1284In such cases, these functions will always return zero and the value of
1285the data read by
1286.Fn bus_space_peek_N
1287will be unspecified.
1288.Pp
1289Finally, it should be noted that at this time the
1290.Fn bus_space_peek_N
1291and
1292.Fn bus_space_poke_N
1293functions are not re-entrant and should not, therefore, be used
1294from within an interrupt service routine.

1335.Sh BARRIERS
1336In order to allow high-performance buffering implementations to avoid bus
1337activity on every operation, read and write ordering should be specified
1338explicitly by drivers when necessary.

1343.Bl -ohang -compact
1344.It Fn bus_space_barrier "space" "handle" "offset" "length" "flags"
1345.Pp
1346The
1347.Fn bus_space_barrier
1348function enforces ordering of bus space read and write operations
1349for the specified subregion (described by the
1350.Fa offset
1351and
1352.Fa length
1353parameters) of the region named by
1354.Fa handle
1355in the space named by
1356.Fa space .
1357.Pp
1358The
1359.Fa flags
1360argument controls what types of operations are to be ordered.
1361Supported flags are:
1362.Bl -tag -width BUS_SPACE_BARRIER_WRITE_BEFORE_WRITE -offset indent
1363.It Dv BUS_SPACE_BARRIER_READ_BEFORE_READ
1364Force all reads before the barrier to complete before any reads

1367Force all reads before the barrier to complete before any writes
1368after the barrier may be issued.

1370Force all writes before the barrier to complete before any reads
1371after the barrier may be issued.

1373Force all writes before the barrier to complete before any writes
1374after the barrier may be issued.
1375.It Dv BUS_SPACE_BARRIER_SYNC
1376Force all memory operations and any pending exceptions to be
1377completed before any instructions after the barrier may be issued.
1378.El
1379.Pp
1380Those flags can be combined (or-ed together) to enforce ordering on
1381different combinations of read and write operations.
1382.Pp
1383All of the specified type(s) of operation which are done to the region
1384before the barrier operation are guaranteed to complete before any of the
1385specified type(s) of operation done after the barrier.
1386.Pp
1387Example: Consider a hypothetical device with two single-byte ports, one
1388write-only input port (at offset 0) and a read-only output port (at
1389offset 1).
1390Operation of the device is as follows: data bytes are written to the
1391input port, and are placed by the device on a stack, the top of
1392which is read by reading from the output port.
1393The sequence to correctly write two data bytes to the device then read
1394those two data bytes back would be:

1408/* data0 == ndata0, data1 == ndata1 */
1409.Ed
1410.Pp
1411The first barrier makes sure that the first write finishes before the
1412second write is issued, so that two writes to the input port are done
1413in order and are not collapsed into a single write.
1414This ensures that the data bytes are written to the device correctly and
1415in order.
1416.Pp
1417The second barrier forces the writes to the output port finish before
1418any of the reads to the input port are issued, thereby making sure
1419that all of the writes are finished before data is read.
1420This ensures that the first byte read from the device really is the last
1421one that was written.
1422.Pp
1423The third barrier makes sure that the first read finishes before the
1424second read is issued, ensuring that data is read correctly and in order.
1425.Pp
1426The barriers in the example above are specified to cover the absolute
1427minimum number of bus space locations.
1428It is correct (and often easier) to make barrier operations cover the
1429device's whole range of bus space, that is, to specify an offset of zero
1430and the size of the whole region.

1441.Sh REGION OPERATIONS
1442Some devices use buffers which are mapped as regions in bus space.
1443Often, drivers want to copy the contents of those buffers to or from
1444memory, e.g., into mbufs which can be passed to higher levels of the
1445system or from mbufs to be output to a network.
1446In order to allow drivers to do this as efficiently as possible, the
1447.Fn bus_space_read_region_N
1448and
1449.Fn bus_space_write_region_N
1450families of functions are provided.

1909.Sh EXPECTED CHANGES TO THE BUS_SPACE FUNCTIONS
1910The definition of the
1911.Nm
1912functions should not yet be considered finalized.
1913There are several changes and improvements which should be explored,
1914including:
1915.Pp
1916.Bl -bullet
1917.It
1918Providing a mechanism by which incorrectly-written drivers will be
1919automatically given barriers and properly-written drivers won't be forced
1920to use more barriers than they need.
1921This should probably be done via a
1922.Li #define
1923in the incorrectly-written drivers.
1924Unfortunately, at this time, few drivers actually use barriers correctly
1925(or at all).
1926Because of that,
1927.Nm
1928implementations on architectures which do buffering must always
1929do the barriers inside the
1930.Nm
1931calls, to be safe.
1932That has a potentially significant performance impact.
1933.It
1934Exporting the
1935.Nm
1936functions to user-land so that applications
1937(such as X servers) have easier, more portable access to device space.
1938.It
1939Redefining bus space tags and handles so that machine-independent bus
1940interface drivers (for example PCI to VME bridges) could define and
1941implement bus spaces without requiring machine-dependent code.
1942If this is done, it should be done in such a way that machine-dependent
1943optimizations should remain possible.
1944.It
1945Converting bus spaces (such as PCI configuration space) which currently
1946use space-specific access methods to use the
1947.Nm
1948functions where that is appropriate.
1949.It
1950Redefining the way bus space is mapped and allocated, so that mapping
1951and allocation are done with bus specific functions which return bus
1952space tags.
1953This would allow further optimization than is currently possible, and
1954would also ease translation of the
1955.Nm
1956functions into user space (since mapping in user space would look like
1957it just used a different bus-specific mapping function).
1958.El
1959.Sh COMPATIBILITY
1960The current version of the
1961.Nm
1962interface specification differs slightly from the original
1963specification that came into wide use.
1964A few of the function names and arguments have changed
1965for consistency and increased functionality.
1966Drivers that were written to the
1967old, deprecated specification can be compiled by defining the
1968.Dv __BUS_SPACE_COMPAT_OLDDEFS
1969preprocessor symbol before including
1970.In sys/bus.h .

1974.Sh HISTORY
1975The
1976.Nm
1977functions were introduced in a different form (memory and I/O spaces
1978were accessed via different sets of functions) in
1979.Nx 1.2 .
1980The functions were merged to work on generic
1981.Dq spaces
1982early in the
1983.Nx 1.3
1984development cycle, and many drivers were converted to use them.
1985This document was written later during the
1986.Nx 1.3
1987development cycle and the specification was updated to fix some
1988consistency problems and to add some missing functionality.
1989.Sh AUTHORS
1990The
1991.Nm
1992interfaces were designed and implemented by the
1993.Nx
1994developer
1995community.
1996Primary contributors and implementors were Chris Demetriou,
1997Jason Thorpe, and Charles Hannum, but the rest of the
1998.Nx
1999developers and the user community played a significant role in development.
