Normally a bitmap from the iommu_table is used to track what TCE entry
is in use. Since we are going to use iommu_table without its locks and
do xchg() instead, it becomes essential not to put bits which are not
implied in the direction flag as the old TCE value (more precisely -
the permission bits) will be used to decide whether to put the page or not.

This adds iommu_direction_to_tce_perm() (its counterpart is there already)
and uses it for powernv's pnv_tce_build().

It might be nice to have a WARN_ON() or log for the default case. If the TCE
entry is going to be updated without permission bits by ppc_md.tce_build().

If this is happening in pnv_tce_build() (which is for the host DMA only) - it is quite late to trace anything, we are totally screwed by then.

If you are talking about VFIO (pnv_tce_xchg()), we calculate enum_dma_data_direction from the VFIO permission bits so wrong value won't be passed here at all.


The DMA operation covered by this TCE entry will cause EEH error. More
logs would be helpful to locate the root cause of the EEH error :-)

The function converts generic permission flags to PCI specific flags as
the names (TCE_PCI_{READ,WRITE}) indicates. I'm not sure if it's reasonable
to have function name iommu_direction_to_pci_tce_perm(). Platform devices
who have DMA capability might have different flags other than TCE_PCI_{READ,WRITE}
and possibly use iommu.c to manage platform specific TCE table. We might
not have the use case for now, so I'm not sure it makes sense to have a
more specific function name.

"tce" is for SPAPR TCE protocol so the function does pretty certain thing.

It might not be the best place for this function (powernv/pci.c seems to be better) but I use this function from POWERNV and KVM and I have either duplicate these helpers in POWERNV and KVM or put in some common place and where it is now is this place.

And its counterpart - iommu_tce_direction - is there already. We may move these somewhere else later if we want.


Thanks,
Gavin
