SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +====================================== +Coherent Device Attribute Table (CDAT) +====================================== + +The CDAT provides functional and performance attributes of devices such +as CXL accelerators, switches, or endpoints. The table formatting is +similar to ACPI tables. CDAT data may be parsed by BIOS at boot or may +be enumerated at runtime (after device hotplug, for example). + +Terminology: +DPA - Device Physical Address, used by the CXL device to denote the address +it supports for that device. + +DSMADHandle - A device unique handle that is associated with a DPA range +defined by the DSMAS table. + + +=============================================== +Device Scoped Memory Affinity Structure (DSMAS) +=============================================== + +The DSMAS contains information such as DSMADHandle, the DPA Base, and DPA +Length. + +This table is used by Linux in conjunction with the Device Scoped Latency and +Bandwidth Information Structure (DSLBIS) to determine the performance +attributes of the CXL device itself. + +Example :: + + Structure Type : 00 [DSMAS] + Reserved : 00 + Length : 0018 <- 24d, size of structure + DSMADHandle : 01 + Flags : 00 + Reserved : 0000 + DPA Base : 0000000040000000 <- 1GiB base + DPA Length : 0000000080000000 <- 2GiB size + + +================================================================== +Device Scoped Latency and Bandwidth Information Structure (DSLBIS) +================================================================== + +This table is used by Linux in conjunction with DSMAS to determine the +performance attributes of a CXL device.
