Description:
This is the smallest unit a physical storage device can
write atomically. It is usually the same as the logical
block size but may be bigger. One example is SATA
drives with 4KB sectors that expose a 512-byte logical
block size to the operating system. For stacked block
devices the physical_block_size variable contains the
maximum physical_block_size of the component devices.

<chapter id="uio_pci_generic" xreflabel="Using Generic driver for PCI cards">
<?dbhtml filename="uio_pci_generic.html"?>
<title>Generic PCI UIO driver</title>
<para>
The generic driver is a kernel module named uio_pci_generic.
It can work with any device compliant to PCI 2.3 (circa 2002) and
any compliant PCI Express device. Using this, you only need to
write the userspace driver, removing the need to write
a hardware-specific kernel module.
</para>

<sect1 id="uio_pci_generic_binding">
<title>Making the driver recognize the device</title>
<para>
Since the driver does not declare any device ids, it will not get loaded
automatically and will not automatically bind to any devices, you must load it
and allocate id to the driver yourself. For example:
<programlisting>
modprobe uio_pci_generic
echo &quot;8086 10f5&quot; &gt; /sys/bus/pci/drivers/uio_pci_generic/new_id
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
If there already is a hardware specific kernel driver for your device, the
generic driver still won't bind to it, in this case if you want to use the
generic driver (why would you?) you'll have to manually unbind the hardware
specific driver and bind the generic driver, like this:
<programlisting>
echo -n 0000:00:19.0 &gt; /sys/bus/pci/drivers/e1000e/unbind
echo -n 0000:00:19.0 &gt; /sys/bus/pci/drivers/uio_pci_generic/bind
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
You can verify that the device has been bound to the driver
by looking for it in sysfs, for example like the following:
<programlisting>
ls -l /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:19.0/driver
</programlisting>
Which if successful should print
<programlisting>
.../0000:00:19.0/driver -&gt; ../../../bus/pci/drivers/uio_pci_generic
</programlisting>
Note that the generic driver will not bind to old PCI 2.2 devices.
If binding the device failed, run the following command:
<programlisting>
dmesg
</programlisting>
and look in the output for failure reasons
</para>

<sect1 id="uio_pci_generic_internals">
<title>Things to know about uio_pci_generic</title>
<para>
Interrupts are handled using the Interrupt Disable bit in the PCI command
register and Interrupt Status bit in the PCI status register. All devices
compliant to PCI 2.3 (circa 2002) and all compliant PCI Express devices should
support these bits. uio_pci_generic detects this support, and won't bind to
devices which do not support the Interrupt Disable Bit in the command register.
</para>
<para>
On each interrupt, uio_pci_generic sets the Interrupt Disable bit.
This prevents the device from generating further interrupts
until the bit is cleared. The userspace driver should clear this
bit before blocking and waiting for more interrupts.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="uio_pci_generic_userspace">
<title>Writing userspace driver using uio_pci_generic</title>
<para>
Userspace driver can use pci sysfs interface, or the
libpci libray that wraps it, to talk to the device and to
re-enable interrupts by writing to the command register.
