  • AK: I hacked Muli's original patch a lot and there were a lot
    of changes - all bugs are probably to blame on me now.
    There were also some changes in the fall back behaviour
    for swiotlb - in particular it doesn't try to use GFP_DMA
    now anymore. Also all DMA mapping operations use the
    same core dma_alloc_coherent code with proper fallbacks now.
    And various other changes and cleanups.

    Known problems: iommu=force swiotlb=force together breaks
    needs more testing.

    This patch cleans up x86_64's DMA mapping dispatching code. Right now
    we have three possible IOMMU types: AGP GART, swiotlb and nommu, and
    in the future we will also have Xen's x86_64 swiotlb and other HW
    IOMMUs for x86_64. In order to support all of them cleanly, this
    patch:

    - introduces a struct dma_mapping_ops with function pointers for each
    of the DMA mapping operations of gart (AMD HW IOMMU), swiotlb
    (software IOMMU) and nommu (no IOMMU).

    - gets rid of:

    if (swiotlb)
    return swiotlb_xxx();

    - PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS is now checked against the dma_ops being set
    This makes swiotlb faster by avoiding double copying in some cases.

  • The overflow checking condition in lib/swiotlb.c was wrong.
    It would first run a NULL pointer through virt_to_phys before
    testing it. Since pci_map_sg overflow is not that uncommon
    and causes data corruption (including broken file systems) when not
    properly detected I think it's better to fix it in 2.6.15.

    This affects x86-64 and IA64.
