dma-mapping: add missing `inline` for `dma_free_attrs`

2026-04-02T11:07:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2cdaff22ed26f1e619aa2b43f27bb84f2c6ef8f8 ] Under an UML build for an upcoming series [1], I got `-Wstatic-in-inline` for `dma_free_attrs`: BINDGEN rust/bindings/bindings_generated.rs - due to target missing In file included from rust/helpers/helpers.c:59: rust/helpers/dma.c:17:2: warning: static function 'dma_free_attrs' is used in an inline function with external linkage [-Wstatic-in-inline] 17 | dma_free_attrs(dev, size, cpu_addr, dma_handle, attrs); | ^ rust/helpers/dma.c:12:1: note: use 'static' to give inline function 'rust_helper_dma_free_attrs' internal linkage 12 | __rust_helper void rust_helper_dma_free_attrs(struct device *dev, size_t size, | ^ | static The issue is that `dma_free_attrs` was not marked `inline` when it was introduced alongside the rest of the stubs.

swiotlb: if swiotlb is full, fall back to a transient memory pool

2023-08-01T16:02:20+00:00

Try to allocate a transient memory pool if no suitable slots can be found and the respective SWIOTLB is allowed to grow. The transient pool is just enough big for this one bounce buffer. It is inserted into a per-device list of transient memory pools, and it is freed again when the bounce buffer is unmapped. Transient memory pools are kept in an RCU list. A memory barrier is required after adding a new entry, because any address within a transient buffer must be immediately recognized as belonging to the SWIOTLB, even if it is passed to another CPU. Deletion does not require any synchronization beyond RCU ordering guarantees. After a buffer is unmapped, its physical addresses may no longer be passed to the DMA API, so the memory range of the corresponding stale entry in the RCU list never matches. If the memory range gets allocated again, then it happens only after a RCU quiescent state. Since bounce buffers can now be allocated from different pools, add a parameter to swiotlb_alloc_pool() to let the caller know which memory pool is used. Add swiotlb_find_pool() to find the memory pool corresponding to an address. This function is now also used by is_swiotlb_buffer(), because a simple boundary check is no longer sufficient. The logic in swiotlb_alloc_tlb() is taken from __dma_direct_alloc_pages(), simplified and enhanced to use coherent memory pools if needed. Note that this is not the most efficient way to provide a bounce buffer, but when a DMA buffer can't be mapped, something may (and will) actually break. At that point it is better to make an allocation, even if it may be an expensive operation. Signed-off-by: Petr Tesarik Reviewed-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

dma: allow dma_get_cache_alignment() to be overridden by the arch code

2023-06-19T23:19:20+00:00

On arm64, ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN is larger than most cache line size configurations deployed. Allow an architecture to override dma_get_cache_alignment() in order to return a run-time probed value (e.g. cache_line_size()).

mm/slab: decouple ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN from ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN

2023-06-19T23:19:20+00:00

Patch series "mm, dma, arm64: Reduce ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to 8", v7. A series reducing the kmalloc() minimum alignment on arm64 to 8 (from 128). This patch (of 17): In preparation for supporting a kmalloc() minimum alignment smaller than the arch DMA alignment, decouple the two definitions. This requires that either the kmalloc() caches are aligned to a (run-time) cache-line size or the DMA API bounces unaligned kmalloc() allocations. Subsequent patches will implement both options. After this patch, ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN is expected to be used in static alignment annotations and defined by an architecture to be the maximum alignment for all supported configurations/SoCs in a single Image. Architectures opting in to a smaller ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN will need to define its value in the arch headers. Since ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN is now always defined, adjust the #ifdef in dma_get_cache_alignment() so that there is no change for architectures not requiring a minimum DMA alignment.

dma-mapping: add dma_opt_mapping_size()

2022-07-19T04:05:41+00:00

Streaming DMA mapping involving an IOMMU may be much slower for larger total mapping size. This is because every IOMMU DMA mapping requires an IOVA to be allocated and freed. IOVA sizes above a certain limit are not cached, which can have a big impact on DMA mapping performance. Provide an API for device drivers to know this "optimal" limit, such that they may try to produce mapping which don't exceed it.

Reinstate some of "swiotlb: rework "fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE""

2022-03-28T18:37:05+00:00

Halil Pasic points out [1] that the full revert of that commit (revert in bddac7c1e02b), and that a partial revert that only reverts the problematic case, but still keeps some of the cleanups is probably better. And that partial revert [2] had already been verified by Oleksandr Natalenko to also fix the issue, I had just missed that in the long discussion. So let's reinstate the cleanups from commit aa6f8dcbab47 ("swiotlb: rework "fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE""), and effectively only revert the part that caused problems.

Revert "swiotlb: rework "fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE""

2022-03-26T17:42:04+00:00

This reverts commit aa6f8dcbab473f3a3c7454b74caa46d36cdc5d13. It turns out this breaks at least the ath9k wireless driver, and possibly others. What the ath9k driver does on packet receive is to set up the DMA transfer with: int ath_rx_init(..) .. bf->bf_buf_addr = dma_map_single(sc->dev, skb->data, common->rx_bufsize, DMA_FROM_DEVICE); and then the receive logic (through ath_rx_tasklet()) will fetch incoming packets static bool ath_edma_get_buffers(..) .. dma_sync_single_for_cpu(sc->dev, bf->bf_buf_addr, common->rx_bufsize, DMA_FROM_DEVICE); ret = ath9k_hw_process_rxdesc_edma(ah, rs, skb->data); if (ret == -EINPROGRESS) { /*let device gain the buffer again*/ dma_sync_single_for_device(sc->dev, bf->bf_buf_addr, common->rx_bufsize, DMA_FROM_DEVICE); return false; } and it's worth noting how that first DMA sync: dma_sync_single_for_cpu(..DMA_FROM_DEVICE); is there to make sure the CPU can read the DMA buffer (possibly by copying it from the bounce buffer area, or by doing some cache flush). The iommu correctly turns that into a "copy from bounce bufer" so that the driver can look at the state of the packets. In the meantime, the device may continue to write to the DMA buffer, but we at least have a snapshot of the state due to that first DMA sync. But that _second_ DMA sync: dma_sync_single_for_device(..DMA_FROM_DEVICE); is telling the DMA mapping that the CPU wasn't interested in the area because the packet wasn't there. In the case of a DMA bounce buffer, that is a no-op. Note how it's not a sync for the CPU (the "for_device()" part), and it's not a sync for data written by the CPU (the "DMA_FROM_DEVICE" part). Or rather, it _should_ be a no-op. That's what commit aa6f8dcbab47 broke: it made the code bounce the buffer unconditionally, and changed the DMA_FROM_DEVICE to just unconditionally and illogically be DMA_TO_DEVICE. [ Side note: purely within the confines of the swiotlb driver it wasn't entirely illogical: The reason it did that odd DMA_FROM_DEVICE -> DMA_TO_DEVICE conversion thing is because inside the swiotlb driver, it uses just a swiotlb_bounce() helper that doesn't care about the whole distinction of who the sync is for - only which direction to bounce. So it took the "sync for device" to mean that the CPU must have been the one writing, and thought it meant DMA_TO_DEVICE. ] Also note how the commentary in that commit was wrong, probably due to that whole confusion, claiming that the commit makes the swiotlb code "bounce unconditionally (that is, also when dir == DMA_TO_DEVICE) in order do avoid synchronising back stale data from the swiotlb buffer" which is nonsensical for two reasons: - that "also when dir == DMA_TO_DEVICE" is nonsensical, as that was exactly when it always did - and should do - the bounce. - since this is a sync for the device (not for the CPU), we're clearly fundamentally not coping back stale data from the bounce buffers at all, because we'd be copying *to* the bounce buffers. So that commit was just very confused. It confused the direction of the synchronization (to the device, not the cpu) with the direction of the DMA (from the device).
