As with other subsystems within the Linux kernel, VME device drivers register
with the VME subsystem, typically called from the devices init routine. This is
achieved via a call to the following function:
achieved via a call to :c:func:`vme_register_driver`.
.. code-block:: c
int vme_register_driver (struct vme_driver *driver, unsigned int ndevs);
A pointer to a structure of type :c:type:`struct vme_driver <vme_driver>` must
be provided to the registration function. Along with the maximum number of
devices your driver is able to support.
If driver registration is successful this function returns zero, if an error
occurred a negative error code will be returned.
A pointer to a structure of type 'vme_driver' must be provided to the
registration function. Along with ndevs, which is the number of devices your
driver is able to support. The structure is as follows:
.. code-block:: c
struct vme_driver {
struct list_head node;
const char *name;
int (*match)(struct vme_dev *);
int (*probe)(struct vme_dev *);
int (*remove)(struct vme_dev *);
void (*shutdown)(void);
struct device_driver driver;
struct list_head devices;
unsigned int ndev;
};
At the minimum, the '.name', '.match' and '.probe' elements of this structure
should be correctly set. The '.name' element is a pointer to a string holding
the device driver's name.

Here, the 'num' field refers to the sequential device ID for this specific
driver. The bridge number (or bus number) can be accessed using

A function is also provided to unregister the driver from the VME core and is

requesting VME resources.
The driver can request ownership of one or more master windows, slave windows
and/or dma channels. Rather than allowing the device driver to request a
specific window or DMA channel (which may be used by a different driver) this
driver allows a resource to be assigned based on the required attributes of the
driver in question:
.. code-block:: c
struct vme_resource * vme_master_request(struct vme_dev *dev,
u32 aspace, u32 cycle, u32 width);
struct vme_resource * vme_slave_request(struct vme_dev *dev, u32 aspace,
u32 cycle);
struct vme_resource *vme_dma_request(struct vme_dev *dev, u32 route);
For slave windows these attributes are split into the VME address spaces that
need to be accessed in 'aspace' and VME bus cycle types required in 'cycle'.
Master windows add a further set of attributes in 'width' specifying the
required data transfer widths. These attributes are defined as bitmasks and as
such any combination of the attributes can be requested for a single window,
the core will assign a window that meets the requirements, returning a pointer
of type vme_resource that should be used to identify the allocated resource
when it is used. For DMA controllers, the request function requires the
potential direction of any transfers to be provided in the route attributes.
This is typically VME-to-MEM and/or MEM-to-VME, though some hardware can
support VME-to-VME and MEM-to-MEM transfers as well as test pattern generation.
If an unallocated window fitting the requirements can not be found a NULL
pointer will be returned.

These functions return 0 on success or an error code should the call fail.
Master window access
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following functions can be used to read from and write to configured master
windows. These functions return the number of bytes copied:
.. code-block:: c
ssize_t vme_master_read(struct vme_resource *res, void *buf,
size_t count, loff_t offset);
ssize_t vme_master_write(struct vme_resource *res, void *buf,
size_t count, loff_t offset);
In addition to simple reads and writes, a function is provided to do a
read-modify-write transaction. This function returns the original value of the
VME bus location :
.. code-block:: c
unsigned int vme_master_rmw (struct vme_resource *res,
unsigned int mask, unsigned int compare, unsigned int swap,
loff_t offset);
This functions by reading the offset, applying the mask. If the bits selected in
the mask match with the values of the corresponding bits in the compare field,
the value of swap is written the specified offset.
Parts of a VME window can be mapped into user space memory using the following
function:
