<title>Introduction</title>

<para>
|
||||
This document describes the interfaces available for device drivers that
|
||||
drive s390 based channel attached devices. This includes interfaces for
|
||||
interaction with the hardware and interfaces for interacting with the
|
||||
common driver core. Those interfaces are provided by the s390 common I/O
|
||||
layer.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
The document assumes a familarity with the technical terms associated
|
||||
with the s390 channel I/O architecture. For a description of this
|
||||
architecture, please refer to the "z/Architecture: Principles of
|
||||
Operation", IBM publication no. SA22-7832.

</para>
|

<para>
|
||||
While most I/O devices on a s390 system are typically driven through the
|
||||
channel I/O mechanism described here, there are various other methods
|
||||
(like the diag interface). These are out of the scope of this document.

<title>The ccw bus</title>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
The ccw bus typically contains the majority of devices available to
|
||||
a s390 system. Named after the channel command word (ccw), the basic
|
||||
command structure used to address its devices, the ccw bus contains
|
||||
so-called channel attached devices. They are addressed via subchannels,
|
||||
visible on the css bus. A device driver, however, will never interact
|
||||
with the subchannel directly, but only via the device on the ccw bus,
|
||||
the ccw device.

<para>
|
||||
Some hardware structures have been translated into C structures for use
|
||||
by the common I/O layer and device drivers. For more information on
|
||||
the hardware structures represented here, please consult the Principles
|
||||
of Operation.

<sect1 id="ccwdev">

<title>ccw devices</title>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Devices that want to initiate channel I/O need to attach to the ccw bus.
|
||||
Interaction with the driver core is done via the common I/O layer, which
|
||||
provides the abstractions of ccw devices and ccw device drivers.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
The functions that initiate or terminate channel I/O all act upon a
|
||||
ccw device structure. Device drivers must not bypass those functions
|
||||
or strange side effects may happen.

measurement data which is made available by the channel subsystem
|

for each channel attached device.

<para>

The ccwgroup bus only contains artificial devices, created by the user.
|
||||
Many networking devices (e.g. qeth) are in fact composed of several
|
||||
ccw devices (like read, write and data channel for qeth). The
|
||||
ccwgroup bus provides a mechanism to create a meta-device which
|
||||
contains those ccw devices as slave devices and can be associated
|
||||
with the netdevice.
