Subject: PCI: PCIe endpoint initiating write request to RC
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2015 12:23:40 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150916065338.GA24779@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I have a doubt, hope some one would have come across the same,
For a root complex to send data to PCIe endpoints, Then it has to write data
that could hit the BAR region of PCIe endpoints.
For a vice versa, if PCIe endpoint which doesn't has DMA descriptor in it and
it is trying to send data. which address I need to configure? Any
physical address of ram or physical address got for kmalloc or endpoint BAR?
If PCIe endpoint can access the entire memory does it has a permission to
corrupt the host memory from external. We know linux handle memory
violation for process by memory structure assigned in each task_struct.
But can someone explain me how it been managed for data comming out from
endpoint to Root complex?
Regards
Nobel
