  • 8d8bb39b9   dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error() ... Browse Code »

    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.

    Pass struct dev pointer to dma_cache_sync()

    dma_cache_sync() is ill-designed in that it does not have a struct device
    pointer argument which makes proper support for systems that consist of a
    mix of coherent and non-coherent DMA devices hard. Change dma_cache_sync
    to take a struct device pointer as first argument and fix all its callers
    to pass it.

    Kill L1_CACHE_SHIFT from all arches. Since L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX is not used
    anymore with the introduction of INTERNODE_CACHE, kill L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX.

  • dd0fc66fb   [PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1 ... Browse Code »

    - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

    - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
    the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
    generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
    typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

    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!
