2018-12-20dma-mapping: deprecate dma_zalloc_coherentChristoph Hellwig1-9/+0
We now always return zeroed memory from dma_alloc_coherent. Note that simply passing GFP_ZERO to dma_alloc_coherent wasn't always doing the right thing to start with given that various allocators are not backed by the page allocator and thus would ignore GFP_ZERO.

2018-12-11dma-debug: Batch dma_debug_entry allocationRobin Murphy1-1/+3
DMA debug entries are one of those things which aren't that useful individually - we will always want some larger quantity of them - and which we don't really need to manage the exact number of - we only care about having 'enough'. In that regard, the current behaviour of creating them one-by-one leads to a lot of unwarranted function call overhead and memory wasted on alignment padding. Now that we don't have to worry about freeing anything via dma_debug_resize_entries(), we can optimise the allocation behaviour by grabbing whole pages at once, which will save considerably on the aforementioned overheads, and probably offer a little more cache/TLB locality benefit for traversing the lists under normal operation. This should also give even less reason for an architecture-level override of the preallocation size, so make the definition unconditional - if there is still any desire to change the compile-time value for some platforms it would be better off as a Kconfig option anyway. Since freeing a whole page of entries at once becomes enough of a challenge that it's not really worth complicating dma_debug_init(), we may as well tweak the preallocation behaviour such that as long as we manage to allocate *some* pages, we can leave debugging enabled on a best-effort basis rather than otherwise wasting them.

2018-12-11dma-debug: Make leak-like behaviour apparentRobin Murphy1-1/+5
Now that we can dynamically allocate DMA debug entries to cope with drivers maintaining excessively large numbers of live mappings, a driver which *does* actually have a bug leaking mappings (and is not unloaded) will no longer trigger the "DMA-API: debugging out of memory - disabling" message until it gets to actual kernel OOM conditions, which means it could go unnoticed for a while. To that end, let's inform the user each time the pool has grown to a multiple of its initial size, which should make it apparent that they either have a leak or might want to increase the preallocation size.

2018-12-11dma-debug: Dynamically expand the dma_debug_entry poolRobin Murphy1-6/+5
Certain drivers such as large multi-queue network adapters can use pools of mapped DMA buffers larger than the default dma_debug_entry pool of 65536 entries, with the result that merely probing such a device can cause DMA debug to disable itself during boot unless explicitly given an appropriate "dma_debug_entries=..." option. Developers trying to debug some other driver on such a system may not be immediately aware of this, and at worst it can hide bugs if they fail to realise that dma-debug has already disabled itself unexpectedly by the time their code of interest gets to run. Even once they do realise, it can be a bit of a pain to emprirically determine a suitable number of preallocated entries to configure, short of massively over-allocating. There's really no need for such a static limit, though, since we can quite easily expand the pool at runtime in those rare cases that the preallocated entries are insufficient, which is arguably the least surprising and most useful behaviour. To that end, refactor the prealloc_memory() logic a little bit to generalise it for runtime reallocations as well.

2016-08-04dma-mapping: use unsigned long for dma_attrsKrzysztof Kozlowski1-19/+14
The dma-mapping core and the implementations do not change the DMA attributes passed by pointer. Thus the pointer can point to const data. However the attributes do not have to be a bitfield. Instead unsigned long will do fine: 1. This is just simpler. Both in terms of reading the code and setting attributes. Instead of initializing local attributes on the stack and passing pointer to it to dma_set_attr(), just set the bits. 2. It brings safeness and checking for const correctness because the attributes are passed by value.

2015-05-30PCI: Add pci_bus_addr_tYinghai Lu1-15/+15
David Ahern reported that d63e2e1f3df9 ("sparc/PCI: Clip bridge windows to fit in upstream windows") fails to boot on sparc/T5-8: pci 0000:06:00.0: reg 0x184: can't handle BAR above 4GB (bus address 0x110204000) The problem is that sparc64 assumed that dma_addr_t only needed to hold DMA addresses, i.e., bus addresses returned via the DMA API (dma_map_single(), etc.), while the PCI core assumed dma_addr_t could hold *any* bus address, including raw BAR values. On sparc64, all DMA addresses fit in 32 bits, so dma_addr_t is a 32-bit type. However, BAR values can be 64 bits wide, so they don't fit in a dma_addr_t. d63e2e1f3df9 added new checking that tripped over this mismatch. Add pci_bus_addr_t, which is wide enough to hold any PCI bus address, including both raw BAR values and DMA addresses. This will be 64 bits on 64-bit platforms and on platforms with a 64-bit dma_addr_t. Then dma_addr_t only needs to be wide enough to hold addresses from the DMA API.

2014-05-21DMA-API: Change dma_declare_coherent_memory() CPU address to phys_addr_tBjorn Helgaas1-5/+4
dma_declare_coherent_memory() takes two addresses for a region of memory: a "bus_addr" and a "device_addr". I think the intent is that "bus_addr" is the physical address a *CPU* would use to access the region, and "device_addr" is the bus address the *device* would use to address the region. Rename "bus_addr" to "phys_addr" and change its type to phys_addr_t. Most callers already supply a phys_addr_t for this argument. The others supply a 32-bit integer (a constant, unsigned int, or __u32) and need no change. Use "unsigned long", not phys_addr_t, to hold PFNs. No functional change (this could theoretically fix a truncation in a config with 32-bit dma_addr_t and 64-bit phys_addr_t, but I don't think there are any such cases involving this code).

2012-10-24dma-debug: New interfaces to debug dma mapping errorsShuah Khan1-0/+12
Add dma-debug interface debug_dma_mapping_error() to debug drivers that fail to check dma mapping errors on addresses returned by dma_map_single() and dma_map_page() interfaces. This interface clears a flag set by debug_dma_map_page() to indicate that dma_mapping_error() has been called by the driver. When driver does unmap, debug_dma_unmap() checks the flag and if this flag is still set, prints warning message that includes call trace that leads up to the unmap. This interface can be called from dma_mapping_error() routines to enable dma mapping error check debugging.

Architectures implement dma_is_consistent() in different ways (some misinterpret the definition of API in DMA-API.txt). So it hasn't been so useful for drivers. We have only one user of the API in tree. Unlikely out-of-tree drivers use the API. Even if we fix dma_is_consistent() in some architectures, it doesn't look useful at all. It was invented long ago for some old systems that can't allocate coherent memory at all. It's better to export only APIs that are definitely necessary for drivers. Let's remove this API.

I made it clear that the sync_single API can do a partial sync but the sync_sg API can't. We could do a partial sync with the sync_sg API too, however, it's difficult for driver writers to correctly use the sync_sg API for a partial sync since the scatterlists passed in to the mapping API can't be modified. It's unlikely that driver writers want to do a partial sync with the sync_sg API (because the sync_sg API are usually used for block drivers). So I think that it's better to forbid a partial sync with the sync_sg API.

2008-07-26dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error()FUJITA Tomonori1-2/+2
Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER architecture does: This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423). I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated. A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before. If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate dma_mapping_ops per device. The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different dma_mapping_error functions. The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in all the architecture. This patch: dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device argument.

2007-10-13dma_free_coherent() needs irqs enabled (sigh)David Brownell1-0/+3
On at least ARM (and I'm told MIPS too) dma_free_coherent() has a newish call context requirement: unlike its dma_alloc_coherent() sibling, it may not be called with IRQs disabled. (This was new behavior on ARM as of late 2005, caused by ARM SMP updates.) This little surprise can be annoyingly driver-visible. Since it looks like that restriction won't be removed, this patch changes the definition of the API to include that requirement. Also, to help catch nonportable drivers, it updates the x86 and swiotlb versions to include the relevant warnings. (I already observed that it trips on the bus_reset_tasklet of the new firewire_ohci driver.)

2006-04-14[PATCH] dma doc updatesDavid Brownell1-13/+36
This updates the DMA API documentation to address a few issues: - The dma_map_sg() call results are used like pci_map_sg() results: using sg_dma_address() and sg_dma_len(). That's not wholly obvious to folk reading _only_ the "new" DMA-API.txt writeup. - Buffers allocated by dma_alloc_coherent() may not be completely free of coherency concerns ... some CPUs also have write buffers that may need to be flushed. - Cacheline coherence issues are now mentioned as being among issues which affect dma buffers, and complicate/prevent using of static and (especially) stack based buffers with the DMA calls. I don't think many drivers currently need to worry about flushing write buffers, but I did hit it with one SOC using external SDRAM for DMA descriptors: without explicit writebuffer flushing, the on-chip DMA controller accessed descriptors before the CPU completed the writes.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
