[PATCH 0/5] thunderbolt: Add support for XDomain lane bonding

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

 



Hi all,

So far connecting two Thunderbolt/USB4 domains (hosts) the high-speed link
has been using a single lane. The reason for this was simplicity and also
the fact that the host DMA was not able to go over the 20 Gbit/s even if
the lanes were bonded. However, Intel Alder Lake and beyond actually can go
higher than that so now it makes more sense to take advantage of the lane
bonding. The USB4 Inter-Domain Service specification describes the
protocol and this patch series implements it for the Linux Thunderbolt/USB4
driver.

If both sides (hosts) of the link announce supporting this, we will
establish bonded link. This is only possible on systems with software based
connection manager (so Intel Alder Lake and beyond).

Mika Westerberg (5):
  thunderbolt: Add debug logging when lane is enabled/disabled
  thunderbolt: Move tb_port_state() prototype to correct place
  thunderbolt: Split setting link width and lane bonding into own functions
  thunderbolt: Ignore port locked error in tb_port_wait_for_link_width()
  thunderbolt: Add support for XDomain lane bonding
