Rmnet Driver
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
1. Introduction
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
rmnet driver is used for supporting the Multiplexing and aggregation
|
|
Protocol (MAP). This protocol is used by all recent chipsets using Qualcomm
|
|
Technologies, Inc. modems.
|
|
|
|
This driver can be used to register onto any physical network device in
|
|
IP mode. Physical transports include USB, HSIC, PCIe and IP accelerator.
|
|
|
|
Multiplexing allows for creation of logical netdevices (rmnet devices) to
|
|
handle multiple private data networks (PDN) like a default internet, tethering,
|
|
multimedia messaging service (MMS) or IP media subsystem (IMS). Hardware sends
|
|
packets with MAP headers to rmnet. Based on the multiplexer id, rmnet
|
|
routes to the appropriate PDN after removing the MAP header.
|
|
|
|
Aggregation is required to achieve high data rates. This involves hardware
|
|
sending aggregated bunch of MAP frames. rmnet driver will de-aggregate
|
|
these MAP frames and send them to appropriate PDN's.
|
|
|
|
2. Packet format
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
a. MAP packet v1 (data / control)
|
|
|
|
MAP header fields are in big endian format.
|
|
|
|
Packet format::
|
|
|
|
Bit 0 1 2-7 8-15 16-31
|
|
Function Command / Data Reserved Pad Multiplexer ID Payload length
|
|
|
|
Bit 32-x
|
|
Function Raw bytes
|
|
|
|
Command (1)/ Data (0) bit value is to indicate if the packet is a MAP command
|
|
or data packet. Command packet is used for transport level flow control. Data
|
|
packets are standard IP packets.
|
|
|
|
Reserved bits must be zero when sent and ignored when received.
|
|
|
|
Padding is the number of bytes to be appended to the payload to
|
|
ensure 4 byte alignment.
|
|
|
|
Multiplexer ID is to indicate the PDN on which data has to be sent.
|
|
|
|
Payload length includes the padding length but does not include MAP header
|
|
length.
|
|
|
|
b. Map packet v4 (data / control)
|
|
|
|
MAP header fields are in big endian format.
|
|
|
|
Packet format::
|
|
|
|
Bit 0 1 2-7 8-15 16-31
|
|
Function Command / Data Reserved Pad Multiplexer ID Payload length
|
|
|
|
Bit 32-(x-33) (x-32)-x
|
|
Function Raw bytes Checksum offload header
|
|
|
|
Command (1)/ Data (0) bit value is to indicate if the packet is a MAP command
|
|
or data packet. Command packet is used for transport level flow control. Data
|
|
packets are standard IP packets.
|
|
|
|
Reserved bits must be zero when sent and ignored when received.
|
|
|
|
Padding is the number of bytes to be appended to the payload to
|
|
ensure 4 byte alignment.
|
|
|
|
Multiplexer ID is to indicate the PDN on which data has to be sent.
|
|
|
|
Payload length includes the padding length but does not include MAP header
|
|
length.
|
|
|
|
Checksum offload header, has the information about the checksum processing done
|
|
by the hardware.Checksum offload header fields are in big endian format.
|
|
|
|
Packet format::
|
|
|
|
Bit 0-14 15 16-31
|
|
Function Reserved Valid Checksum start offset
|
|
|
|
Bit 31-47 48-64
|
|
Function Checksum length Checksum value
|
|
|
|
Reserved bits must be zero when sent and ignored when received.
|
|
|
|
Valid bit indicates whether the partial checksum is calculated and is valid.
|
|
Set to 1, if its is valid. Set to 0 otherwise.
|
|
|
|
Padding is the number of bytes to be appended to the payload to
|
|
ensure 4 byte alignment.
|
|
|
|
Checksum start offset, Indicates the offset in bytes from the beginning of the
|
|
IP header, from which modem computed checksum.
|
|
|
|
Checksum length is the Length in bytes starting from CKSUM_START_OFFSET,
|
|
over which checksum is computed.
|
|
|
|
Checksum value, indicates the checksum computed.
|
|
|
|
c. MAP packet v5 (data / control)
|
|
|
|
MAP header fields are in big endian format.
|
|
|
|
Packet format::
|
|
|
|
Bit 0 1 2-7 8-15 16-31
|
|
Function Command / Data Next header Pad Multiplexer ID Payload length
|
|
|
|
Bit 32-x
|
|
Function Raw bytes
|
|
|
|
Command (1)/ Data (0) bit value is to indicate if the packet is a MAP command
|
|
or data packet. Command packet is used for transport level flow control. Data
|
|
packets are standard IP packets.
|
|
|
|
Next header is used to indicate the presence of another header, currently is
|
|
limited to checksum header.
|
|
|
|
Padding is the number of bytes to be appended to the payload to
|
|
ensure 4 byte alignment.
|
|
|
|
Multiplexer ID is to indicate the PDN on which data has to be sent.
|
|
|
|
Payload length includes the padding length but does not include MAP header
|
|
length.
|
|
|
|
d. Checksum offload header v5
|
|
|
|
Checksum offload header fields are in big endian format.
|
|
|
|
Bit 0 - 6 7 8-15 16-31
|
|
Function Header Type Next Header Checksum Valid Reserved
|
|
|
|
Header Type is to indicate the type of header, this usually is set to CHECKSUM
|
|
|
|
Header types
|
|
= ==========================================
|
|
0 Reserved
|
|
1 Reserved
|
|
2 checksum header
|
|
|
|
Checksum Valid is to indicate whether the header checksum is valid. Value of 1
|
|
implies that checksum is calculated on this packet and is valid, value of 0
|
|
indicates that the calculated packet checksum is invalid.
|
|
|
|
Reserved bits must be zero when sent and ignored when received.
|
|
|
|
e. MAP packet v1/v5 (command specific)::
|
|
|
|
Bit 0 1 2-7 8 - 15 16 - 31
|
|

|
|
Bit 32 - 39 40 - 45 46 - 47 48 - 63
|
|

|
|
Function Command data
|
|
|
|
Command 1 indicates disabling flow while 2 is enabling flow
|
|
|
|
Command types
|
|
|
|
= ==========================================
|
|
0 for MAP command request
|
|
1 is to acknowledge the receipt of a command
|
|
2 is for unsupported commands
|
|
3 is for error during processing of commands
|
|
= ==========================================
|
|
|
|
f. Aggregation
|
|
|
|
Aggregation is multiple MAP packets (can be data or command) delivered to
|
|
rmnet in a single linear skb. rmnet will process the individual
|
|
packets and either ACK the MAP command or deliver the IP packet to the
|
|
network stack as needed
|
|
|
|
MAP header|IP Packet|Optional padding|MAP header|IP Packet|Optional padding....
|
|
|
|
MAP header|IP Packet|Optional padding|MAP header|Command Packet|Optional pad...
|
|
|
|
3. Userspace configuration
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
rmnet userspace configuration is done through netlink library librmnetctl
|
|
and command line utility rmnetcli. Utility is hosted in codeaurora forum git.
|
|
The driver uses rtnl_link_ops for communication.
