For more details see "PCI Bus Binding to IEEE Std 1275-1994 +Standard for Boot (Initialization Configuration) Firmware Revision 2.1" +Section 7, Legacy Devices. + +The Resource Access Control (RAC) module inside the X server [0] existed for +the legacy VGA arbitration task (besides other bus management tasks) when more +than one legacy device co-exists on the same machine. But the problem happens +when these devices are trying to be accessed by different userspace clients +(e.g. two server in parallel). Their address assignments conflict. Moreover, +ideally, being a userspace application, it is not the role of the X server to +control bus resources. Therefore an arbitration scheme outside of the X server +is needed to control the sharing of these resources. This document introduces +the operation of the VGA arbiter implemented for the Linux kernel. + +vgaarb kernel/userspace ABI +--------------------------- + +The vgaarb is a module of the Linux Kernel. When it is initially loaded, it +scans all PCI devices and adds the VGA ones inside the arbitration. The +arbiter then enables/disables the decoding on different devices of the VGA +legacy instructions. Devices which do not want/need to use the arbiter may +explicitly tell it by calling vga_set_legacy_decoding(). + +The kernel exports a char device interface (/dev/vga_arbiter) to the clients, +which has the following semantics: + +open + Opens a user instance of the arbiter.

It +supports stacking, like the kernel one. This complexifies the implementation +a bit, but makes the arbiter more tolerant to user space problems and able +to properly cleanup in all cases when a process dies. +Currently, a max of 16 cards can have locks simultaneously issued from +user space for a given user (file descriptor instance) of the arbiter. + +In the case of devices hot-{un,}plugged, there is a hook - pci_notify() - to +notify them being added/removed in the system and automatically added/removed +in the arbiter. + +There is also an in-kernel API of the arbiter in case DRM, vgacon, or other +drivers want to use it. + +In-kernel interface +------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/vgaarb.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/vga/vgaarb.c + :export: + +libpciaccess +------------ + +To use the vga arbiter char device it was implemented an API inside the +libpciaccess library.

If the resources requested are "normal" (and not legacy) +resources, the arbiter will first check whether the card is doing legacy +decoding for that type of resource. If yes, the lock is "converted" into a +legacy resource lock. The arbiter will first look for all VGA cards that +might conflict and disable their IOs and/or Memory access, including VGA +forwarding on P2P bridges if necessary, so that the requested resources can +be used. Then, the card is marked as locking these resources and the IO and/or +Memory access is enabled on the card (including VGA forwarding on parent +P2P bridges if any). In the case of vga_arb_lock(), the function will block +if some conflicting card is already locking one of the required resources (or +any resource on a different bus segment, since P2P bridges don't differentiate +VGA memory and IO afaik).

In the end of 2007, Paulo Zanoni and +Tiago Vignatti (both of C3SL/Federal University of Paraná) proceeded his work +enhancing the kernel code to adapt as a kernel module and also did the +implementation of the user space side [3]. Now (2009) Tiago Vignatti and Dave +Airlie finally put this work in shape and queued to Jesse Barnes' PCI tree. + +0) http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=4b42448a2388d40f257774fbffdccaea87bd0347 +1) http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2005-March/006663.html +2) http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2005-March/006745.html +3) http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2007-October/029507.html |
