To this end, it provides the ``/dev/surface/dtx`` +device file, through which it can interface with a user-space daemon. This +daemon is then ultimately responsible for determining and taking necessary +actions, such as unmounting devices attached to the base, +unloading/reloading the graphics-driver, user-notifications, etc. + +There are two basic communication principles used in this driver: Commands +(in other parts of the documentation also referred to as requests) and +events. Commands are sent to the EC and may have a different implications in +different contexts. Events are sent by the EC upon some internal state +change. Commands are always driver-initiated, whereas events are always +initiated by the EC. + +.. contents:: + +Nomenclature +============ + +* **Clipboard:** + The detachable upper part of the Surface Book, housing the screen and CPU. + +* **Base:** + The lower part of the Surface Book from which the clipboard can be + detached, optionally (model dependent) housing the discrete GPU (dGPU). + +* **Latch:** + The mechanism keeping the clipboard attached to the base in normal + operation and allowing it to be detached when requested. + +* **Silently ignored commands:** + The command is accepted by the EC as a valid command and acknowledged + (following the standard communication protocol), but the EC does not act + upon it, i.e. ignores it.e upper part of the + + +Detachment Process +================== + +Warning: This part of the documentation is based on reverse engineering and +testing and thus may contain errors or be incomplete. + +Latch States +------------ + +The latch mechanism has two major states: *open* and *closed*. In the +*closed* state (default), the clipboard is secured to the base, whereas in +the *open* state, the clipboard can be removed by a user. + +The latch can additionally be locked and, correspondingly, unlocked, which +can influence the detachment procedure. Specifically, this locking mechanism +is intended to prevent the dGPU, positioned in the base of the device, from +being hot-unplugged while in use. More details can be found in the +documentation for the detachment procedure below. By default, the latch is +unlocked. + +Detachment Procedure +-------------------- + +Note that the detachment process is governed fully by the EC. The +``surface_dtx`` driver only relays events from the EC to user-space and +commands from user-space to the EC, i.e. it does not influence this process. + +The detachment process is started with the user pressing the *detach* button +on the base of the device or executing the ``SDTX_IOCTL_LATCH_REQUEST`` IOCTL. +Following that: + +1. The EC turns on the indicator led on the detach-button, sends a + *detach-request* event (``SDTX_EVENT_REQUEST``), and awaits further + instructions/commands. In case the latch is unlocked, the led will flash + green. If the latch has been locked, the led will be solid red + +2. The event is, via the ``surface_dtx`` driver, relayed to user-space, where + an appropriate user-space daemon can handle it and send instructions back + to the EC via IOCTLs provided by this driver. + +3. The EC waits for instructions from user-space and acts according to them. + If the EC does not receive any instructions in a given period, it will + time out and continue as follows: + + - If the latch is unlocked, the EC will open the latch and the clipboard + can be detached from the base. This is the exact behavior as without + this driver or any user-space daemon. See the ``SDTX_IOCTL_LATCH_CONFIRM`` + description below for more details on the follow-up behavior of the EC. + + - If the latch is locked, the EC will *not* open the latch, meaning the + clipboard cannot be detached from the base. Furthermore, the EC sends + an cancel event (``SDTX_EVENT_CANCEL``) detailing this with the cancel + reason ``SDTX_DETACH_TIMEDOUT`` (see :ref:`events` for details). + +Valid responses by a user-space daemon to a detachment request event are: + +- Execute ``SDTX_IOCTL_LATCH_REQUEST``. This will immediately abort the + detachment process. Furthermore, the EC will send a detach-request event, + similar to the user pressing the detach-button to cancel said process (see + below). + +- Execute ``SDTX_IOCTL_LATCH_CONFIRM``. This will cause the EC to open the + latch, after which the user can separate clipboard and base. + + As this changes the latch state, a *latch-status* event + (``SDTX_EVENT_LATCH_STATUS``) will be sent once the latch has been opened + successfully. If the EC fails to open the latch, e.g. due to hardware + error or low battery, a latch-cancel event (``SDTX_EVENT_CANCEL``) will be + sent with the cancel reason indicating the specific failure. + + If the latch is currently locked, the latch will automatically be + unlocked before it is opened. + +- Execute ``SDTX_IOCTL_LATCH_HEARTBEAT``. This will reset the internal timeout. + No other actions will be performed, i.e. the detachment process will neither + be completed nor canceled, and the EC will still be waiting for further + responses. + +- Execute ``SDTX_IOCTL_LATCH_CANCEL``. This will abort the detachment process, + similar to ``SDTX_IOCTL_LATCH_REQUEST``, described above, or the button + press, described below. A *generic request* event (``SDTX_EVENT_REQUEST``) + is send in response to this. In contrast to those, however, this command + does not trigger a new detachment process if none is currently in + progress. + +- Do nothing. The detachment process eventually times out as described in + point 3. + +See :ref:`ioctls` for more details on these responses. + +It is important to note that, if the user presses the detach button at any +point when a detachment operation is in progress (i.e. after the EC has sent +the initial *detach-request* event (``SDTX_EVENT_REQUEST``) and before it +received the corresponding response concluding the process), the detachment +process is canceled on the EC-level and an identical event is being sent. +Thus a *detach-request* event, by itself, does not signal the start of the +detachment process. + +The detachment process may further be canceled by the EC due to hardware +failures or a low clipboard battery. This is done via a cancel event +(``SDTX_EVENT_CANCEL``) with the corresponding cancel reason. + + +User-Space Interface Documentation +================================== + +Error Codes and Status Values +----------------------------- + +Error and status codes are divided into different categories, which can be +used to determine if the status code is an error, and, if it is, the +severity and type of that error. The current categories are: + +.. flat-table:: Overview of Status/Error Categories. + :widths: 2 1 3 + :header-rows: 1 + + * - Name + - Value + - Short Description + + * - ``STATUS`` + - ``0x0000`` + - Non-error status codes. + + * - ``RUNTIME_ERROR`` + - ``0x1000`` + - Non-critical runtime errors. + + * - ``HARDWARE_ERROR`` + - ``0x2000`` + - Critical hardware failures. + + * - ``UNKNOWN`` + - ``0xF000`` + - Unknown error codes. + +Other categories are reserved for future use. The ``SDTX_CATEGORY()`` macro +can be used to determine the category of any status value. The +``SDTX_SUCCESS()`` macro can be used to check if the status value is a +success value (``SDTX_CATEGORY_STATUS``) or if it indicates a failure. + +Unknown status or error codes sent by the EC are assigned to the ``UNKNOWN`` +category by the driver and may be implemented via their own code in the +future. + +Currently used error codes are: + +.. flat-table:: Overview of Error Codes. + :widths: 2 1 1 3 + :header-rows: 1 + + * - Name + - Category + - Value + - Short Description + + * - ``SDTX_DETACH_NOT_FEASIBLE`` + - ``RUNTIME`` + - ``0x1001`` + - Detachment not feasible due to low clipboard battery. + + * - ``SDTX_DETACH_TIMEDOUT`` + - ``RUNTIME`` + - ``0x1002`` + - Detachment process timed out while the latch was locked. + + * - ``SDTX_ERR_FAILED_TO_OPEN`` + - ``HARDWARE`` + - ``0x2001`` + - Failed to open latch. + + * - ``SDTX_ERR_FAILED_TO_REMAIN_OPEN`` + - ``HARDWARE`` + - ``0x2002`` + - Failed to keep latch open. + + * - ``SDTX_ERR_FAILED_TO_CLOSE`` + - ``HARDWARE`` + - ``0x2003`` + - Failed to close latch. + +Other error codes are reserved for future use.

They are disabled by +default and have to be enabled by executing ``SDTX_IOCTL_EVENTS_ENABLE`` +first. All events follow the layout prescribed by |sdtx_event|. Specific +event types can be identified by their event code, described in +|sdtx_event_code|.

Events can be obtained by +reading from the device, if enabled. Events are disabled by default. + +``SDTX_IOCTL_LATCH_LOCK`` +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Defined as ``_IO(0xA5, 0x23)``. + +Locks the latch, causing the detachment procedure to abort without opening +the latch on timeout. The latch is unlocked by default. This command will be +silently ignored if the latch is already locked. + +``SDTX_IOCTL_LATCH_UNLOCK`` +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Defined as ``_IO(0xA5, 0x24)``. + +Unlocks the latch, causing the detachment procedure to open the latch on +timeout.

It will be silently +ignored if the latch is already unlocked. + +``SDTX_IOCTL_LATCH_REQUEST`` +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Defined as ``_IO(0xA5, 0x25)``. + +Generic latch request. Behavior depends on the context: If no +detachment-process is active, detachment is requested. Otherwise the +currently active detachment-process will be aborted. + +If a detachment process is canceled by this operation, a generic detachment +request event (``SDTX_EVENT_REQUEST``) will be sent. + +This essentially behaves the same as a detachment button press. + +``SDTX_IOCTL_LATCH_CONFIRM`` +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Defined as ``_IO(0xA5, 0x26)``. + +Acknowledges and confirms a latch request. If sent during an ongoing +detachment process, this command causes the latch to be opened immediately. +The latch will also be opened if it has been locked. In this case, the latch +lock is reset to the unlocked state. + +This command will be silently ignored if there is currently no detachment +procedure in progress. + +``SDTX_IOCTL_LATCH_HEARTBEAT`` +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Defined as ``_IO(0xA5, 0x27)``. + +Sends a heartbeat, essentially resetting the detachment timeout.

If a detachment process is canceled +by this operation, a generic detachment request event +(``SDTX_EVENT_REQUEST``) will be sent. + +This command will be silently ignored if there is currently no detachment +procedure in progress. + +``SDTX_IOCTL_GET_BASE_INFO`` +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Defined as ``_IOR(0xA5, 0x29, struct sdtx_base_info)``. + +Get the current base connection state (i.e. attached/detached) and the type +of the base connected to the clipboard. This is command essentially provides +a way to query the information provided by the base connection change event +(``SDTX_EVENT_BASE_CONNECTION``). + +Possible values for ``struct sdtx_base_info.state`` are: + +* ``SDTX_BASE_DETACHED``, +* ``SDTX_BASE_ATTACHED``, and +* ``SDTX_DETACH_NOT_FEASIBLE``. + +Other values are reserved for future use. + +``SDTX_IOCTL_GET_DEVICE_MODE`` +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Defined as ``_IOR(0xA5, 0x2A, __u16)``. + +Returns the device operation mode, indicating if and how the base is +attached to the clipboard. This is command essentially provides a way to +query the information provided by the device mode change event +(``SDTX_EVENT_DEVICE_MODE``). + +Returned values are: + +* ``SDTX_DEVICE_MODE_LAPTOP`` +* ``SDTX_DEVICE_MODE_TABLET`` +* ``SDTX_DEVICE_MODE_STUDIO`` + +See |sdtx_device_mode| for details. Other values are reserved for future +use. + + +``SDTX_IOCTL_GET_LATCH_STATUS`` +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Defined as ``_IOR(0xA5, 0x2B, __u16)``. + +Get the current latch status or (presumably) the last error encountered when +trying to open/close the latch. This is command essentially provides a way +to query the information provided by the latch status change event +(``SDTX_EVENT_LATCH_STATUS``). + +Returned values are: + +* ``SDTX_LATCH_CLOSED``, +* ``SDTX_LATCH_OPENED``, +* ``SDTX_ERR_FAILED_TO_OPEN``, +* ``SDTX_ERR_FAILED_TO_REMAIN_OPEN``, and +* ``SDTX_ERR_FAILED_TO_CLOSE``. + +Other values are reserved for future use. + +A Note on Base IDs +------------------ + +Base types/IDs provided via ``SDTX_EVENT_BASE_CONNECTION`` or +``SDTX_IOCTL_GET_BASE_INFO`` are directly forwarded from the EC in the lower +byte of the combined |__u16| value, with the driver storing the EC type from +which this ID comes in the high byte (without this, base IDs over different +types of ECs may be overlapping). + +The ``SDTX_DEVICE_TYPE()`` macro can be used to determine the EC device +type. This can be one of + +* ``SDTX_DEVICE_TYPE_HID``, for Surface Aggregator Module over HID, and + +* ``SDTX_DEVICE_TYPE_SSH``, for Surface Aggregator Module over Surface Serial + Hub. + +Note that currently only the ``SSH`` type EC is supported, however ``HID`` +type is reserved for future use. + +Structures and Enums +-------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: include/uapi/linux/surface_aggregator/dtx.h + +API Users +========= + +A user-space daemon utilizing this API can be found at +https://github.com/linux-surface/surface-dtx-daemon. -- cgit v1.2.3
