[RFC] ARC: allow to use IOC and non-IOC DMA devices simultaneously

From: Eugeniy Paltsev
Date: Fri Jun 15 2018 - 08:58:32 EST


The ARC HS processor provides an IOC port (I/O coherency bus
interface) that allows external devices such as DMA devices
to access memory through the cache hierarchy, providing
coherency between I/O transactions and the complete memory
hierarchy.

Some recent SoC with ARC HS (like HSDK) allow to select bus
port (IOC or non-IOC port) for connecting DMA devices in runtime.

With this patch we can use both HW-coherent and regular DMA
peripherals simultaneously.

For example we can connect USB and SDIO controllers through IOC port
(so we don't need to need to maintain cache coherency for these
devices manualy. All cache sync ops will be nop)
And we can connect Ethernet directly to RAM port (so we had to
maintain cache coherency manualy. Cache sync ops will be real
flush/invalidate operations)

Cache ops are set per-device and depends on "dma-coherent" device
tree property:
"dma_noncoherent_ops" are used if no "dma-coherent" property is
present (or IOC is disabled)
"dma_direct_ops" are used if "dma-coherent" property is present.


NOTE 1:
It works perfectly fine only if we don't have ZONE_HIGHMEM used
as IOC doesn't cover all physical memory. As for today It configured
to cover 1GiB starting from 0x8z (which is ZONE_NORMAL memory for
us). Transactions outside this region are sent on the non-coherent
I/O bus interface.
We can't configure IOC to cover all physical memory as it has several
limitations relating to aperture size and start address.

And if we get DMA buffer from ZONE_HIGHMEM memory we need to
do real flush/invalidate operations on that buffer, which is obviously
not done by "dma_direct_ops".

So I am not sure about "dma_direct_ops" using - probably we need to
create our special cache ops like "arc_ioc_ops" which will handle
ZONE_HIGHMEM case.

(BTW: current ARC dma_noncoherent_ops implementation also has same
problem if IOC and HIGHMEM are enabled.)


NOTE 2:
In this RFC only hsdk.dts changes are shown to reduce patch size.
AXS103 device tree changes are not shown.
