Detailed Description

The MPCI Handler encapsulates functionality which is related to the generation, receipt, and processing of remote operations in a multiprocessor system. This handler contains the message passing support for making remote service calls as well as the server thread which processes requests from remote nodes.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ MPCI_ALL_NODES

#define MPCI_ALL_NODES 0

The following defines the node number used when a broadcast is desired.

◆ MPCI_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT

#define MPCI_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT 0xFFFFFFFF

For packets associated with requests that don't already have a timeout, use the one specified by this MPCI driver. The value specified by the MPCI driver sets an upper limit on how long a remote request should take to complete.

typedef void MPCI_Entry

This type is returned by all user provided MPCI routines.

◆ MPCI_get_packet_entry

typedef MPCI_Entry( * MPCI_get_packet_entry) (MP_packet_Prefix **)

This type defines the prototype for the get packet entry point in an Multiprocessor Communications Interface. The single parameter will point to the packet allocated.

◆ MPCI_initialization_entry

typedef MPCI_Entry( * MPCI_initialization_entry) (void)

This type defines the prototype for the initization entry point in an Multiprocessor Communications Interface.

◆ MPCI_receive_entry

typedef MPCI_Entry( * MPCI_receive_entry) (MP_packet_Prefix **)

This type defines the prototype for the receive packet entry point in an Multiprocessor Communications Interface. The single parameter will point to a packet allocated and filled in by the receive packet handler. The caller will block until a packet is received.

◆ MPCI_return_packet_entry

typedef MPCI_Entry( * MPCI_return_packet_entry) (MP_packet_Prefix *)

This type defines the prototype for the return packet entry point in an Multiprocessor Communications Interface. The single parameter will point to a packet previously allocated by the get packet MPCI entry.

◆ MPCI_send_entry

typedef MPCI_Entry( * MPCI_send_entry) (uint32_t, MP_packet_Prefix *)

This type defines the prototype for send get packet entry point in an Multiprocessor Communications Interface. The single parameter will point to a packet previously allocated by the get packet entry point that has been filled in by the caller.

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ MPCI_Internal_Remote_operations

enum MPCI_Internal_Remote_operations

The following enumerated type defines the list of internal MP operations.

Function Documentation

◆ _Mp_packet_Is_valid_packet_class()

RTEMS_INLINE_ROUTINE bool _Mp_packet_Is_valid_packet_class ( MP_packet_Classes the_packet_class )

This function returns true if the the_packet_class is valid, and false otherwise.

Note: Check for lower bounds (MP_PACKET_CLASSES_FIRST ) is unnecessary because this enum starts at lower bound of zero.

◆ _MPCI_Announce()

void _MPCI_Announce ( void )

Announce the availability of a packet.

This routine informs RTEMS of the availability of an MPCI packet.

◆ _MPCI_Get_packet()

MP_packet_Prefix* _MPCI_Get_packet ( void )

This function obtains a packet by invoking the user provided MPCI get packet callout.

Return values

This	method returns a pointer to a MPCI packet which can be filled in by the caller and used to perform a subsequent remote operation.

◆ _MPCI_Internal_packets_Get_packet()

MPCI_Internal_packet* _MPCI_Internal_packets_Get_packet ( void )

Obtain an internal thread.

_MPCI_Internal_packets_Send_object_was_deleted

This routine is invoked indirectly by the thread queue when a proxy has been removed from the thread queue and the remote node must be informed of this.

This routine is not needed since there are no objects deleted by this manager. _MPCI_Internal_packets_Send_extract_proxy

This routine is invoked when a task is deleted and it has a proxy which must be removed from a thread queue and the remote node must be informed of this.

This routine is not needed since there are no objects deleted by this manager. This routine is used to obtain an internal threads MP packet.

◆ _MPCI_Internal_packets_Process_packet()

void _MPCI_Internal_packets_Process_packet ( MP_packet_Prefix * the_packet_prefix )

Perform requested action from another node.

_MPCI_Internal_packets_Send_request_packet

This routine performs a remote procedure call so that a directive operation can be initiated on another node.

This routine is not needed since there are no request packets to be sent by this manager. _MPCI_Internal_packets_Send_response_packet

This routine performs a remote procedure call so that a directive can be performed on another node.

This routine is not needed since there are no response packets to be sent by this manager. This routine performs the actions specific to this package for the request from another node.

◆ _MPCI_Internal_packets_Send_process_packet()

void _MPCI_Internal_packets_Send_process_packet ( MPCI_Internal_Remote_operations operation )

Perform a process on another node.

This routine performs a remote procedure call so that a process operation can be performed on another node.

Parameters

[in] operation is the remote operation to perform.

◆ _MPCI_Process_response()

Thread_Control* _MPCI_Process_response ( MP_packet_Prefix * the_packet )

Pass a packet to the thread.

This routine is responsible for passing the_packet to the thread waiting on the remote operation to complete. The unblocked thread is responsible for eventually freeing the_packet.

Parameters

[in] the_packet is the response packet to be processed.

Return values

This	method returns a pointer to the thread which was if unblocked or NULL if the waiting thread no longer exists.

◆ _MPCI_Receive_packet()

MP_packet_Prefix* _MPCI_Receive_packet ( void )

Receive a packet.

This routine receives a packet by invoking the user provided MPCI receive callout.

Return values

[in]	the_packet	is the packet to be sent.
[in]	extra_state	is the extra thread state bits which should be set in addition to the remote operation pending state. It may indicate the caller is blocking on a message queue operation.

Return values

This	method returns the operation status from the remote node.

◆ _MPCI_Send_response_packet()

void _MPCI_Send_response_packet	(	uint32_t	destination,
		MP_packet_Prefix *	the_packet
	)

Send a response packet.

This routine sends a response packet by invoking the user provided MPCI send callout.
