PCI: PCIe endpoint initiating write request to RC

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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
