Hi all,
I am trying to understand how FreeBSD's usb transfers work compared to OpenBSD
by using the rum(4) driver. I am a little confused how the FreeBSD side works.
In FreeBSD USB transfers are a statemachine. In the beginning you call
the start method, and that invokes the statemachine callback in the
SETUP state. There you setup all parameters, buffers, lengths etc. and
then you can submit the USB transfer, which invoke the host controller
drivers routines, which actually lay out the required DMA descriptors
for data transfer. When the USB transfer is completed the statemachine
callback is invoked again and you can choose what to do.

On the OpenBSD side, it seems that after allocating the pipes, you use
usbd_setup_xfer and usbd_transfer(). As an example, look at OpenBSD's
/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/if_rum.c, starting on line 2027-2029, I believe that
corresponds to FreeBSD's /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/wlan/if_rum.c, line 2607
(rum_setup_tx_list) which goes to 807. In this function, I see that it adds
rum_tx_data (tx_data[i] to the end of tx_free. However, how does it actually
send the data? I believe this occurs in the callback functions, specifically
with the usbd_transfer_submit function, but I am not certain how that is
triggered, especially when it is triggered by the driver, such as in a send
function.
Please assist.
Thank you!
