Below is the function of the rt2500usb_alloc_ring, it works very similar to the pci equivalent, except that urbs are allocated and usb_buffer_alloc is used. The data_ring structure where the information is stored in is also the same as used in the pci driver. Basicly what I want to do is move the urbs to somewhere else, the data_ring structure has been very generic, and the only real difference between the pci and usb version of the data_entry has been the urb structure pointer. If the usb_buffer_* calls could be replaced by dma_*coherent a lot of duplicate code in the pci and usb drivers could be moved into a seperate header or source file. struct data_ring{ /* * net_device where this ring belongs to. */ struct net_device *net_dev; /* * Work structure for bottom half interrupt handling. */ struct work_struct irq_work; /* * Base address for the device specific data entries. */ void *entry; /* * TX queue statistic info. */ struct ieee80211_tx_queue_stats_data stats; /* * TX Queue parameters. */ struct ieee80211_tx_queue_params tx_params; /* * Base address for data ring. */ dma_addr_t data_dma; void *data_addr; /* * Index variables. */ u8 index; u8 index_done; /* * Size of device specific data entry structure. */ u16 entry_size; /* * Size of packet and descriptor in bytes. */ u16 data_size; u16 desc_size; } __attribute__ ((packed)); static int rt2500usb_alloc_ring( struct rt2x00_usb *rt2x00usb, struct data_ring *ring, void (*handler)(void *), const u16 max_entries, const u16 data_size, const u16 desc_size) { struct data_entry *entry; u8 counter; int status; /* *Set device structure. */ ring->net_dev = usb_get_intfdata(rt2x00usb->usb_intf); /* * Initialize work structure for deferred work. */ INIT_WORK(&ring->irq_work, handler, ring); /* * Initialize ring parameters. */ ring->tx_params.aifs = 2; ring->tx_params.cw_min = 5; /* cw_min: 2^5 = 32. */ ring->tx_params.cw_max = 10; /* cw_max: 2^10 = 1024. */ rt2x00_ring_index_clear(ring); ring->stats.limit = max_entries; ring->entry_size = sizeof(struct data_entry); ring->data_size = data_size; ring->desc_size = desc_size; /* * Allocate all ring entries. */ ring->entry = kmalloc(ring->stats.limit * ring->entry_size, GFP_KERNEL); if (!ring->entry) return -ENOMEM; /* * Allocate DMA memory for descriptor and buffer. */ ring->data_addr = usb_buffer_alloc( interface_to_usbdev(rt2x00usb->usb_intf), rt2x00_get_ring_size(ring), GFP_KERNEL, &ring->data_dma); if (!ring->data_addr) { kfree(ring->entry); return -ENOMEM; } /* * Initialize all ring entries to contain valid * addresses. */ status = 0; entry = ring->entry; for (counter = 0; counter < ring->stats.limit; counter++) { entry[counter].ring = ring; if (!status) entry[counter].urb = usb_alloc_urb(0, GFP_KERNEL); else entry[counter].urb = NULL; if (!entry[counter].urb) status = -ENOMEM; entry[counter].skb = NULL; entry[counter].data_addr = ring->data_addr + (counter * ring->desc_size) + (counter * ring->data_size); entry[counter].data_dma = ring->data_dma + (counter * ring->desc_size) + (counter * ring->data_size); } return status; } static void rt2500usb_free_ring(struct rt2x00_usb *rt2x00usb, struct data_ring *ring) { struct data_entry *entry; u8 counter; if (!ring->entry) goto exit; entry = ring->entry; for (counter = 0; counter < ring->stats.limit; counter++) { usb_kill_urb(entry[counter].urb); usb_free_urb(entry[counter].urb); } kfree(ring->entry); ring->entry = NULL; exit: if (ring->data_addr) usb_buffer_free( interface_to_usbdev(rt2x00usb->usb_intf), rt2x00_get_ring_size(ring), ring->data_addr, ring->data_dma); ring->data_addr = NULL; }
