SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============ +Rmnet Driver +============ + +1. Introduction +=============== + +rmnet driver is used for supporting the Multiplexing and aggregation +Protocol (MAP). This protocol is used by all recent chipsets using Qualcomm +Technologies, Inc. modems. + +This driver can be used to register onto any physical network device in +IP mode. Physical transports include USB, HSIC, PCIe and IP accelerator. + +Multiplexing allows for creation of logical netdevices (rmnet devices) to +handle multiple private data networks (PDN) like a default internet, tethering, +multimedia messaging service (MMS) or IP media subsystem (IMS). Hardware sends +packets with MAP headers to rmnet. Based on the multiplexer id, rmnet +routes to the appropriate PDN after removing the MAP header. + +Aggregation is required to achieve high data rates. This involves hardware +sending aggregated bunch of MAP frames. rmnet driver will de-aggregate +these MAP frames and send them to appropriate PDN's. + +2. Packet format +================ + +a. MAP packet v1 (data / control) + +MAP header fields are in big endian format. + +Packet format:: + + Bit 0 1 2-7 8-15 16-31 + Function Command / Data Reserved Pad Multiplexer ID Payload length + + Bit 32-x + Function Raw bytes + +Command (1)/ Data (0) bit value is to indicate if the packet is a MAP command +or data packet. Command packet is used for transport level flow control. Data +packets are standard IP packets. + +Reserved bits must be zero when sent and ignored when received. + +Padding is the number of bytes to be appended to the payload to +ensure 4 byte alignment. + +Multiplexer ID is to indicate the PDN on which data has to be sent. + +Payload length includes the padding length but does not include MAP header +length. + +b.

Data +packets are standard IP packets. + +Reserved bits must be zero when sent and ignored when received. + +Padding is the number of bytes to be appended to the payload to +ensure 4 byte alignment. + +Multiplexer ID is to indicate the PDN on which data has to be sent. + +Payload length includes the padding length but does not include MAP header +length. + +Checksum offload header, has the information about the checksum processing done +by the hardware.Checksum offload header fields are in big endian format. + +Packet format:: + + Bit 0-14 15 16-31 + Function Reserved Valid Checksum start offset + + Bit 31-47 48-64 + Function Checksum length Checksum value + +Reserved bits must be zero when sent and ignored when received. + +Valid bit indicates whether the partial checksum is calculated and is valid. +Set to 1, if its is valid. Set to 0 otherwise. + +Padding is the number of bytes to be appended to the payload to +ensure 4 byte alignment. + +Checksum start offset, Indicates the offset in bytes from the beginning of the +IP header, from which modem computed checksum. + +Checksum length is the Length in bytes starting from CKSUM_START_OFFSET, +over which checksum is computed. + +Checksum value, indicates the checksum computed. + +c.
