Figure 14.6 NT Table Partitioning
–
The physical NT Mapping table entry accessed is equal to the sum of the partition NT Mapping
table entry, specified by the ADDR field in the NTMTBLADDR register, with the TBLBASE field in
the NTMTBLPROT register associated with the partition. If the resulting physical NT Mapping
table entry address is less than or equal to the value in the TBLLIMIT field in the NTMTBLPROT
field associated with the partition, then the read or write access is performed on the physical NT
Mapping table entry. If the value of the resulting NT Mapping table entry address is greater than
the NTBLLIMIT field, then a protection violation is signaled.
–
Located in each NTMTBLPROT register is a Partition Blocking Vector (PARTBLOCK). Associated
with each partition in the switch is a corresponding bit in the PARTBLOCK vector. When a write to
the NTMTBLDATA register is performed with a PART field value whose corresponding bit is set in
the PARTBLOCK vector, then a protection violation is signaled.
–
A protection violation during an NTMTBLDATA read operation results in a value of zero being
returned in all fields and setting of the NT Mapping Table Access Error (ERR) bit in the NT
Mapping Table Status (NTMTBLSTS) register.
–
A protection violation during an NTMTBLDATA write operation causes the write operation to be
ignored (i.e., no table entry or register field is actually updated) and setting of the NT Mapping
Table Access Error (ERR) bit in the NT Mapping Table Status (NTMTBLSTS) register.
Following a switch fundamental reset, NT Mapping table protection and virtualization is disabled.
–
All partitions may access all 64 physical NT Mapping table entries.
–
The virtual NT Mapping table address of all partitions is equal to the physical NT Mapping table
address.
–
A partition may update any NT Mapping table entry with any PART field value.
Note: NT Mapping table programming (i.e., programming of table entries or table protection settings)
must always be done via the same interface (e.g., PCI Express, Slave SMBus, or EEPROM). For
example, programming NT Mapping table protection via the EEPROM followed by programming the
NT Mapping table entries via PCI Express is not allowed.
Request ID Translation
Request TLPs contain a requester ID field that defines the unique PCI Express identifier associated with
the requester that generated the request TLP. When a request TLP is received by an NT endpoint that is to
be routed on the NT interconnect (i.e., the TLP hits an NT endpoint BAR aperture and has a valid transla-
tion), a requester ID lookup and translation are performed.
