6 | Various files for managing Cable Based Association of | ||
7 | (wireless) USB devices. | ||
8 | |||
9 | The sequence of operations should be: | ||
10 | |||
11 | 1. Device is plugged in. | ||
12 | |||
13 | 2. The connection manager (CM) sees a device with CBA capability. | ||
14 | (the wusb_chid etc. files in /sys/devices/blah/OURDEVICE). | ||
15 | |||
16 | 3. The CM writes the host name, supported band groups, | ||
17 | and the CHID (host ID) into the wusb_host_name, | ||
18 | wusb_host_band_groups and wusb_chid files. These | ||
19 | get sent to the device and the CDID (if any) for | ||
20 | this host is requested. | ||
21 | |||
22 | 4. The CM can verify that the device's supported band | ||
23 | groups (wusb_device_band_groups) are compatible | ||
24 | with the host. | ||
25 | |||
26 | 5. The CM reads the wusb_cdid file. | ||
27 | |||
28 | 6. The CM looks it up its database. | ||
29 | |||
30 | - If it has a matching CHID,CDID entry, the device | ||
31 | has been authorized before and nothing further | ||
32 | needs to be done. | ||
33 | |||
34 | - If the CDID is zero (or the CM doesn't find a | ||
35 | matching CDID in its database), the device is | ||
36 | assumed to be not known. The CM may associate | ||
37 | the host with device by: writing a randomly | ||
38 | generated CDID to wusb_cdid and then a random CK | ||
39 | to wusb_ck (this uploads the new CC to the | ||
40 | device). | ||
41 | |||
42 | CMD may choose to prompt the user before | ||
43 | associating with a new device. | ||
44 | |||
45 | 7. Device is unplugged. | ||

56 | UWB is a wide-band communication protocol that is to serve also as the | ||
57 | low-level protocol for others (much like TCP sits on IP). Currently | ||
58 | these others are Wireless USB and TCP/IP, but seems Bluetooth and | ||
59 | Firewire/1394 are coming along. | ||
60 | |||
61 | UWB uses a band from roughly 3 to 10 GHz, transmitting at a max of | ||
62 | ~-41dB (or 0.074 uW/MHz--geography specific data is still being | ||
63 | negotiated w/ regulators, so watch for changes). That band is divided in | ||
64 | a bunch of ~1.5 GHz wide channels (or band groups) composed of three | ||
65 | subbands/subchannels (528 MHz each). Each channel is independent of each | ||
66 | other, so you could consider them different "busses". Initially this | ||
67 | driver considers them all a single one. | ||
68 | |||
69 | Radio time is divided in 65536 us long /superframes/, each one divided | ||
70 | in 256 256us long /MASs/ (Media Allocation Slots), which are the basic | ||
71 | time/media allocation units for transferring data. At the beginning of | ||
72 | each superframe there is a Beacon Period (BP), where every device | ||
73 | transmit its beacon on a single MAS. The length of the BP depends on how | ||
74 | many devices are present and the length of their beacons. | ||
75 | |||
76 | Devices have a MAC (fixed, 48 bit address) and a device (changeable, 16 | ||
77 | bit address) and send periodic beacons to advertise themselves and pass | ||
78 | info on what they are and do. They advertise their capabilities and a | ||
79 | bunch of other stuff. | ||
80 | |||
81 | The different logical parts of this driver are: | ||
82 | |||
83 | * | ||
84 | |||
85 | *UWB*: the Ultra-Wide-Band stack -- manages the radio and | ||
86 | associated spectrum to allow for devices sharing it. Allows to | ||
87 | control bandwidth assingment, beaconing, scanning, etc | ||
88 | |||
89 | * | ||
90 | |||
91 | *WUSB*: the layer that sits on top of UWB to provide Wireless USB. | ||
92 | The Wireless USB spec defines means to control a UWB radio and to | ||
93 | do the actual WUSB. | ||
94 | |||
95 | |||
96 | HWA: Host Wire adapters, your Wireless USB dongle | ||
97 | |||
98 | WUSB also defines a device called a Host Wire Adaptor (HWA), which in | ||
99 | mere terms is a USB dongle that enables your PC to have UWB and Wireless | ||
100 | USB. The Wireless USB Host Controller in a HWA looks to the host like a | ||
101 | [Wireless] USB controller connected via USB (!) | ||
102 | |||
103 | The HWA itself is broken in two or three main interfaces: | ||
104 | |||
105 | * | ||
106 | |||
107 | *RC*: Radio control -- this implements an interface to the | ||
108 | Ultra-Wide-Band radio controller. The driver for this implements a | ||
109 | USB-based UWB Radio Controller to the UWB stack. | ||
110 | |||
111 | * | ||
112 | |||
113 | *HC*: the wireless USB host controller. It looks like a USB host | ||
114 | whose root port is the radio and the WUSB devices connect to it. | ||
115 | To the system it looks like a separate USB host. The driver (will) | ||
116 | implement a USB host controller (similar to UHCI, OHCI or EHCI) | ||
117 | for which the root hub is the radio...To reiterate: it is a USB | ||
118 | controller that is connected via USB instead of PCI. | ||
119 | |||
120 | * | ||
121 | |||
122 | *WINET*: some HW provide a WiNET interface (IP over UWB). This | ||
123 | package provides a driver for it (it looks like a network | ||
124 | interface, winetX). The driver detects when there is a link up for | ||
125 | their type and kick into gear. | ||
126 | |||
127 | |||
128 | DWA: Device Wired Adaptor, a Wireless USB hub for wired devices | ||
129 | |||
130 | These are the complement to HWAs. They are a USB host for connecting | ||
131 | wired devices, but it is connected to your PC connected via Wireless | ||
132 | USB. To the system it looks like yet another USB host. To the untrained | ||
133 | eye, it looks like a hub that connects upstream wirelessly. | ||
134 | |||
135 | We still offer no support for this; however, it should share a lot of | ||
136 | code with the HWA-RC driver; there is a bunch of factorization work that | ||
137 | has been done to support that in upcoming releases. | ||
138 | |||
139 | |||
140 | WHCI: Wireless Host Controller Interface, the PCI WUSB host adapter | ||
141 | |||
142 | This is your usual PCI device that implements WHCI. Similar in concept | ||
143 | to EHCI, it allows your wireless USB devices (including DWAs) to connect | ||
144 | to your host via a PCI interface. As in the case of the HWA, it has a | ||
145 | Radio Control interface and the WUSB Host Controller interface per se. | ||
146 | |||
147 | There is still no driver support for this, but will be in upcoming | ||
148 | releases. | ||
149 | |||
150 | |||
151 | The UWB stack | ||
152 | |||
153 | The main mission of the UWB stack is to keep a tally of which devices | ||
154 | are in radio proximity to allow drivers to connect to them. As well, it | ||
155 | provides an API for controlling the local radio controllers (RCs from | ||
156 | now on), such as to start/stop beaconing, scan, allocate bandwidth, etc. | ||
157 | |||
158 | |||
159 | Devices and hosts: the basic structure | ||
160 | |||
161 | The main building block here is the UWB device (struct uwb_dev). For | ||
162 | each device that pops up in radio presence (ie: the UWB host receives a | ||
163 | beacon from it) you get a struct uwb_dev that will show up in | ||
164 | /sys/class/uwb and in /sys/bus/uwb/devices. | ||
165 | |||
166 | For each RC that is detected, a new struct uwb_rc is created. In turn, a | ||
167 | RC is also a device, so they also show in /sys/class/uwb and | ||
168 | /sys/bus/uwb/devices, but at the same time, only radio controllers show | ||
169 | up in /sys/class/uwb_rc. | ||
170 | |||
171 | * | ||
172 | |||
173 | [*] The reason for RCs being also devices is that not only we can | ||
174 | see them while enumerating the system device tree, but also on the | ||
175 | radio (their beacons and stuff), so the handling has to be | ||
176 | likewise to that of a device. | ||
177 | |||
178 | Each RC driver is implemented by a separate driver that plugs into the | ||
179 | interface that the UWB stack provides through a struct uwb_rc_ops. The | ||
180 | spec creators have been nice enough to make the message format the same | ||
181 | for HWA and WHCI RCs, so the driver is really a very thin transport that | ||
182 | moves the requests from the UWB API to the device [/uwb_rc_ops->cmd()/] | ||
183 | and sends the replies and notifications back to the API | ||
184 | [/uwb_rc_neh_grok()/]. Notifications are handled to the UWB daemon, that | ||
185 | is chartered, among other things, to keep the tab of how the UWB radio | ||
186 | neighborhood looks, creating and destroying devices as they show up or | ||
187 | dissapear. | ||
188 | |||
189 | Command execution is very simple: a command block is sent and a event | ||
190 | block or reply is expected back. For sending/receiving command/events, a | ||
191 | handle called /neh/ (Notification/Event Handle) is opened with | ||
192 | /uwb_rc_neh_open()/. | ||
193 | |||
194 | The HWA-RC (USB dongle) driver (drivers/uwb/hwa-rc.c) does this job for | ||
195 | the USB connected HWA. Eventually, drivers/whci-rc.c will do the same | ||
196 | for the PCI connected WHCI controller. | ||
197 | |||
198 | |||
199 | Host Controller life cycle | ||
200 | |||
201 | So let's say we connect a dongle to the system: it is detected and | ||
202 | firmware uploaded if needed [for Intel's i1480 | ||
203 | /drivers/uwb/ptc/usb.c:ptc_usb_probe()/] and then it is reenumerated. | ||
204 | Now we have a real HWA device connected and | ||
205 | /drivers/uwb/hwa-rc.c:hwarc_probe()/ picks it up, that will set up the | ||
206 | Wire-Adaptor environment and then suck it into the UWB stack's vision of | ||
207 | the world [/drivers/uwb/lc-rc.c:uwb_rc_add()/]. | ||
208 | |||
209 | * | ||
210 | |||
211 | [*] The stack should put a new RC to scan for devices | ||
212 | [/uwb_rc_scan()/] so it finds what's available around and tries to | ||
213 | connect to them, but this is policy stuff and should be driven | ||
214 | from user space. As of now, the operator is expected to do it | ||
215 | manually; see the release notes for documentation on the procedure. | ||
216 | |||
217 | When a dongle is disconnected, /drivers/uwb/hwa-rc.c:hwarc_disconnect()/ | ||
218 | takes time of tearing everything down safely (or not...). | ||
219 | |||
220 | |||
221 | On the air: beacons and enumerating the radio neighborhood | ||
222 | |||
223 | So assuming we have devices and we have agreed for a channel to connect | ||
224 | on (let's say 9), we put the new RC to beacon: | ||
225 | |||
226 | * | ||
227 | |||
228 | $ echo 9 0 > /sys/class/uwb_rc/uwb0/beacon | ||
229 | |||
230 | Now it is visible. If there were other devices in the same radio channel | ||
231 | and beacon group (that's what the zero is for), the dongle's radio | ||
232 | control interface will send beacon notifications on its | ||
233 | notification/event endpoint (NEEP). The beacon notifications are part of | ||
234 | the event stream that is funneled into the API with | ||
235 | /drivers/uwb/neh.c:uwb_rc_neh_grok()/ and delivered to the UWBD, the UWB | ||
236 | daemon through a notification list. | ||
237 | |||
238 | UWBD wakes up and scans the event list; finds a beacon and adds it to | ||
239 | the BEACON CACHE (/uwb_beca/). If he receives a number of beacons from | ||
240 | the same device, he considers it to be 'onair' and creates a new device | ||
241 | [/drivers/uwb/lc-dev.c:uwbd_dev_onair()/]. Similarly, when no beacons | ||
242 | are received in some time, the device is considered gone and wiped out | ||
243 | [uwbd calls periodically /uwb/beacon.c:uwb_beca_purge()/ that will purge | ||
244 | the beacon cache of dead devices]. | ||
245 | |||
246 | |||
247 | Device lists | ||
248 | |||
249 | All UWB devices are kept in the list of the struct bus_type uwb_bus. | ||
250 | |||
251 | |||
252 | Bandwidth allocation | ||
253 | |||
254 | The UWB stack maintains a local copy of DRP availability through | ||
255 | processing of incoming *DRP Availability Change* notifications. This | ||
256 | local copy is currently used to present the current bandwidth | ||
257 | availability to the user through the sysfs file | ||
258 | /sys/class/uwb_rc/uwbx/bw_avail. In the future the bandwidth | ||
259 | availability information will be used by the bandwidth reservation | ||
260 | routines. | ||
261 | |||
262 | The bandwidth reservation routines are in progress and are thus not | ||
263 | present in the current release. When completed they will enable a user | ||
264 | to initiate DRP reservation requests through interaction with sysfs. DRP | ||
265 | reservation requests from remote UWB devices will also be handled. The | ||
266 | bandwidth management done by the UWB stack will include callbacks to the | ||
267 | higher layers will enable the higher layers to use the reservations upon | ||
268 | completion. [Note: The bandwidth reservation work is in progress and | ||
269 | subject to change.] | ||
270 | |||
271 | |||
272 | Wireless USB Host Controller drivers | ||
273 | |||
274 | *WARNING* This section needs a lot of work! | ||
275 | |||
276 | As explained above, there are three different types of HCs in the WUSB | ||
277 | world: HWA-HC, DWA-HC and WHCI-HC. | ||
278 | |||
279 | HWA-HC and DWA-HC share that they are Wire-Adapters (USB or WUSB | ||
280 | connected controllers), and their transfer management system is almost | ||
281 | identical. So is their notification delivery system. | ||
282 | |||
283 | HWA-HC and WHCI-HC share that they are both WUSB host controllers, so | ||
284 | they have to deal with WUSB device life cycle and maintenance, wireless | ||
285 | root-hub | ||
286 | |||
287 | HWA exposes a Host Controller interface (HWA-HC 0xe0/02/02). This has | ||
288 | three endpoints (Notifications, Data Transfer In and Data Transfer | ||
289 | Out--known as NEP, DTI and DTO in the code). | ||
290 | |||
291 | We reserve UWB bandwidth for our Wireless USB Cluster, create a Cluster | ||
292 | ID and tell the HC to use all that. Then we start it. This means the HC | ||
293 | starts sending MMCs. | ||
294 | |||
295 | * | ||
296 | |||
297 | The MMCs are blocks of data defined somewhere in the WUSB1.0 spec | ||
298 | that define a stream in the UWB channel time allocated for sending | ||
299 | WUSB IEs (host to device commands/notifications) and Device | ||
300 | Notifications (device initiated to host). Each host defines a | ||
301 | unique Wireless USB cluster through MMCs. Devices can connect to a | ||
302 | single cluster at the time. The IEs are Information Elements, and | ||
303 | among them are the bandwidth allocations that tell each device | ||
304 | when can they transmit or receive. | ||
305 | |||
306 | Now it all depends on external stimuli. | ||
307 | |||
308 | *New device connection* | ||
309 | |||
310 | A new device pops up, it scans the radio looking for MMCs that give out | ||
311 | the existence of Wireless USB channels. Once one (or more) are found, | ||
312 | selects which one to connect to. Sends a /DN_Connect/ (device | ||
313 | notification connect) during the DNTS (Device Notification Time | ||
314 | Slot--announced in the MMCs | ||
315 | |||
316 | HC picks the /DN_Connect/ out (nep module sends to notif.c for delivery | ||
317 | into /devconnect/). This process starts the authentication process for | ||
318 | the device. First we allocate a /fake port/ and assign an | ||
319 | unauthenticated address (128 to 255--what we really do is | ||
320 | 0x80 | fake_port_idx). We fiddle with the fake port status and /khubd/ | ||
321 | sees a new connection, so he moves on to enable the fake port with a reset. | ||
322 | |||
323 | So now we are in the reset path -- we know we have a non-yet enumerated | ||
324 | device with an unauthorized address; we ask user space to authenticate | ||
325 | (FIXME: not yet done, similar to bluetooth pairing), then we do the key | ||
326 | exchange (FIXME: not yet done) and issue a /set address 0/ to bring the | ||
327 | device to the default state. Device is authenticated. | ||
328 | |||
329 | From here, the USB stack takes control through the usb_hcd ops. khubd | ||
330 | has seen the port status changes, as we have been toggling them. It will | ||
331 | start enumerating and doing transfers through usb_hcd->urb_enqueue() to | ||
332 | read descriptors and move our data. | ||
333 | |||
334 | *Device life cycle and keep alives* | ||
335 | |||
336 | Everytime there is a succesful transfer to/from a device, we update a | ||
337 | per-device activity timestamp. If not, every now and then we check and | ||
338 | if the activity timestamp gets old, we ping the device by sending it a | ||
339 | Keep Alive IE; it responds with a /DN_Alive/ pong during the DNTS (this | ||
340 | arrives to us as a notification through | ||
341 | devconnect.c:wusb_handle_dn_alive(). If a device times out, we | ||
342 | disconnect it from the system (cleaning up internal information and | ||
343 | toggling the bits in the fake hub port, which kicks khubd into removing | ||
344 | the rest of the stuff). | ||
345 | |||
346 | This is done through devconnect:__wusb_check_devs(), which will scan the | ||
347 | device list looking for whom needs refreshing. | ||
348 | |||
349 | If the device wants to disconnect, it will either die (ugly) or send a | ||
350 | /DN_Disconnect/ that will prompt a disconnection from the system. | ||
351 | |||
352 | *Sending and receiving data* | ||
353 | |||
354 | Data is sent and received through /Remote Pipes/ (rpipes). An rpipe is | ||
355 | /aimed/ at an endpoint in a WUSB device. This is the same for HWAs and | ||
356 | DWAs. | ||
357 | |||
358 | Each HC has a number of rpipes and buffers that can be assigned to them; | ||
359 | when doing a data transfer (xfer), first the rpipe has to be aimed and | ||
360 | prepared (buffers assigned), then we can start queueing requests for | ||
361 | data in or out. | ||
362 | |||
363 | Data buffers have to be segmented out before sending--so we send first a | ||
364 | header (segment request) and then if there is any data, a data buffer | ||
365 | immediately after to the DTI interface (yep, even the request). If our | ||
366 | buffer is bigger than the max segment size, then we just do multiple | ||
367 | requests. | ||
368 | |||
369 | [This sucks, because doing USB scatter gatter in Linux is resource | ||
370 | intensive, if any...not that the current approach is not. It just has to | ||
371 | be cleaned up a lot :)]. | ||
372 | |||
373 | If reading, we don't send data buffers, just the segment headers saying | ||
374 | we want to read segments. | ||
375 | |||
376 | When the xfer is executed, we receive a notification that says data is | ||
377 | ready in the DTI endpoint (handled through | ||
378 | xfer.c:wa_handle_notif_xfer()). In there we read from the DTI endpoint a | ||
379 | descriptor that gives us the status of the transfer, its identification | ||
380 | (given when we issued it) and the segment number. If it was a data read, | ||
381 | we issue another URB to read into the destination buffer the chunk of | ||
382 | data coming out of the remote endpoint. Done, wait for the next guy. The | ||
383 | callbacks for the URBs issued from here are the ones that will declare | ||
384 | the xfer complete at some point and call it's callback. | ||
385 | |||
386 | Seems simple, but the implementation is not trivial. | ||
387 | |||
388 | * | ||
389 | |||
390 | *WARNING* Old!! | ||
391 | |||
392 | The main xfer descriptor, wa_xfer (equivalent to a URB) contains an | ||
393 | array of segments, tallys on segments and buffers and callback | ||
394 | information. Buried in there is a lot of URBs for executing the segments | ||
395 | and buffer transfers. | ||
396 | |||
397 | For OUT xfers, there is an array of segments, one URB for each, another | ||
398 | one of buffer URB. When submitting, we submit URBs for segment request | ||
399 | 1, buffer 1, segment 2, buffer 2...etc. Then we wait on the DTI for xfer | ||
400 | result data; when all the segments are complete, we call the callback to | ||
401 | finalize the transfer. | ||
402 | |||
403 | For IN xfers, we only issue URBs for the segments we want to read and | ||
404 | then wait for the xfer result data. | ||
405 | |||
406 | *URB mapping into xfers* | ||
407 | |||
408 | This is done by hwahc_op_urb_[en|de]queue(). In enqueue() we aim an | ||
409 | rpipe to the endpoint where we have to transmit, create a transfer | ||
410 | context (wa_xfer) and submit it. When the xfer is done, our callback is | ||
411 | called and we assign the status bits and release the xfer resources. | ||
412 | |||
413 | In dequeue() we are basically cancelling/aborting the transfer. We issue | ||
414 | a xfer abort request to the HC, cancell all the URBs we had submitted | ||
415 | and not yet done and when all that is done, the xfer callback will be | ||
416 | called--this will call the URB callback. | ||
417 | |||
