[PATCH v4 1/2] ethdev: remove get_reg_length callback

[PATCH v4 1/2] ethdev: remove get_reg_length callback

[zr]

From: Zyta Szpak <zr@semihalf.com>

Version 4 of fixing the assumption of that device registers
are always 32 bits long. rte_eth_dev_get_reg_length and
rte_eth_dev_get_reg_info callbacks did not provide register size
to the app in any way. It is needed to allocate proper number
of bytes before retrieving registers content with
rte_eth_dev_get_reg. This commit remove rte_eth_dev_get_reg_length
callback and adds width parameter to reg_info struct which makes
it possible to call rte_eth_dev_get_reg_info to get attributes
first. The drivers using this callback fill width and length
when call to function made with data=NULL.

[PATCH v4 2/2] examples/ethtool: use rte_eth_dev_get_reg_info for reg params

[zr]

From: Zyta Szpak <zr@semihalf.com>

Version 4 of fixing the fixed register width assumption.
The app was allocating too little space for 64-bit registers
which resulted in memory corruption. This commit resolves
this by getting the number of registers and size of register
by rte_eth_dev_get_reg_info function called first time
with data=NULL.

I think this would read better as a commit message:

Removes hard-coded assumption that device registers are always 32 bits 
wide. The rte_eth_dev_get_reg_length and rte_eth_dev_get_reg_info 
callbacks did not provide register size to the app in any way, which is 
needed to allocate correct number of bytes before retrieving registers 
using rte_eth_dev_get_reg.

This commit changes rte_eth_dev_get_reg_info so that it can be used to 
retrieve both the number of registers and their width, and removes the 
now-redundant rte_eth_dev_get_reg_length.

Need detail regarding how *info->data affects function behaviour. 
Something along the lines of:

/**
  * Retrieve device registers and register attributes (number of
  * registers and register size)
  *
  * @param port_id
  *   The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
  * @param info
  *   Pointer to rte_dev_reg_info structure to fill in. If info->data is
  *   NULL the function fills in the width and length fields. If non-NULL
  *   the registers are put into the buffer pointed at by the data field.

Program code itself looks good to me.

Please do not mention patch revision in the commit log.
However you can add a changelog below the three dashes (with --annotate).
And please use --in-reply-to to keep revisions in the same thread.

[PATCH v5 1/2] ethdev: remove get_reg_length callback

[Zyta Szpak]

From: Zyta Szpak <zr@semihalf.com>

Removes hard-coded assumption that device registers
are always 32 bits wide. The rte_eth_dev_get_reg_length
and rte_eth_dev_get_reg_info callbacks did not
provide register size to the app in any way while is
needed to allocate correct number of bytes before
retrieving registers using rte_eth_dev_get_reg.

This commit changes rte_eth_dev_get_reg_info so that
it can be used to retrieve both the number of registers
and their width, and removes the now-redundant
rte_eth_dev_get_reg_length.

[PATCH v5 2/2] examples/ethtool: use rte_eth_dev_get_reg_info for reg params

[Zyta Szpak]

From: Zyta Szpak <zr@semihalf.com>

Version 4 of fixing the fixed register width assumption.
The app was allocating too little space for 64-bit registers
which resulted in memory corruption. This commit resolves
this by getting the number of registers and size of register
by rte_eth_dev_get_reg_info function called first time
with data=NULL.

Comments regarding commit message on v4 1/2 also apply here..

It is also not v4.. :)

Code duplication..

Rest looks ok and passed a quick compile test. Might need to keep an eye 
out for other driver changes.

Re: [PATCH v5 1/2] ethdev: remove get_reg_length callback

[Zyta Szpak]

Very good point.. this one and the other :)
THere comes fixed version.

[PATCH v6 1/2] ethdev: remove get_reg_length callback

[Zyta Szpak]

From: Zyta Szpak <zr@semihalf.com>

Removes hard-coded assumption that device registers
are always 32 bits wide. The rte_eth_dev_get_reg_length
and rte_eth_dev_get_reg_info callbacks did not
provide register size to the app in any way while is
needed to allocate correct number of bytes before
retrieving registers using rte_eth_dev_get_reg.

This commit changes rte_eth_dev_get_reg_info so that
it can be used to retrieve both the number of registers
and their width, and removes the now-redundant
rte_eth_dev_get_reg_length.

[PATCH v6 2/2] examples/ethtool: use rte_eth_dev_get_reg_info for reg params

[Zyta Szpak]

From: Zyta Szpak <zr@semihalf.com>

This change deals with hard-coded register width.
The app was allocating too little space for 64-bit registers
which resulted in memory corruption. This commit resolves
this by getting the number of registers and size of register
by rte_eth_dev_get_reg_info function called first time
with data=NULL.
