Not sure if this went out earlier. So I am resending.

Well, so is this going to work for PCI too after all?


No, as Bjorn suggested, PCI changes for setting DMA coherent from _CCA
(patch 3/6 in V4) will be submitted separately. We are working on
cleaning up and up-streaming the PCI ACPI support for ARM64.

OK, but acpi_bind_one() is called for PCI devices too. Won't that be a problem?

In this case, we would be going through the following call path:

--> pci_device_add()
|--> pci_dma_configure() ** 1 **
|--> device_add()
|--> platform_notify()
|--> acpi_platform_notify()
|--> acpi_bind_one() ** 2 **

At (1), we would be calling arch_setup_dma_ops() with the PCI host
bridge _CCA information. So, it should have already taken care of
setting up device coherency here.

At (2), if there is no acpi_dev for endpoint devices (which I believe
this is normally the case), it would return early and skip
arch_setup_dma_ops().

That's not correct. There may be ACPI companions for endpoint devices too.

Ok. Duly noted :)

At (2), if there is an acpi_dev, the coherent_dma flag should have
already been setup by the acpi_init_device_object during ACPI scan.

That one sets the flag for the *ACPI* *companion* of the device, which
I'm still thinking is pointless, isn't it?

When you say pointless, are you referring to the part where we are end up calling arch_setup_dma_coherent() twice in this case? I am not quite following your point.

However, I am not certain about this case since I don't have the DSDT
containing PCI endpoint devices to test with.

Every x86 PC has them (as far as I can say), but in that case there's no
_CCA and they are all coherent.

Ok.

Thanks,
Suravee
