5 ``pci-testdev`` is a device used for testing low level IO.
7 The device implements up to three BARs: BAR0, BAR1 and BAR2.
8 Each of BAR 0+1 can be memory or IO. Guests must detect
9 BAR types and act accordingly.
11 BAR 0+1 size is up to 4K bytes each.
12 BAR 0+1 starts with the following header:
16 typedef struct PCITestDevHdr {
17 uint8_t test; /* write-only, starts a given test number */
18 uint8_t width_type; /*
19 * read-only, type and width of access for a given test.
20 * 1,2,4 for byte,word or long write.
21 * any other value if test not supported on this BAR
24 uint32_t offset; /* read-only, offset in this BAR for a given test */
25 uint32_t data; /* read-only, data to use for a given test */
26 uint32_t count; /* for debugging. number of writes detected. */
27 uint8_t name[]; /* for debugging. 0-terminated ASCII string. */
30 All registers are little endian.
32 The device is expected to always implement tests 0 to N on each BAR, and to add new
33 tests with higher numbers. In this way a guest can scan test numbers until it
34 detects an access type that it does not support on this BAR, then stop.
36 BAR2 is a 64bit memory BAR, without backing storage. It is disabled
37 by default and can be enabled using the ``membar=<size>`` property. This
38 can be used to test whether guests handle PCI BARs of a specific
39 (possibly quite large) size correctly.
