The DT node will have dma-ranges defined for this. Also support using

Hi Murali,

I'm guessing this is the patch that actually fixes things for Keystone.

Yes, but depends on other patches in the series.

And it looks like it should also fix things for other hardware that has
similar characteristics.

This originally started as a patch for Keystone, but modified to apply for other platforms as well. Tested by one another platform AFAIK, by Suravee Suthikulpanit on AMD Seattle platform w/ PCI Generic Host Controller. See the Tested-By from him against this series.

So I'd like to include some higher-level text
about that here. For example:

This fixes DMA on systems where DMA addresses are a constant offset
from CPU physical addresses.


That is one fix. It also update dma configuration for the device
such as dma operations through a call to of_dma_configure() in 5/7.
You may add the above description in 5/7. I didn't add it in the description because of_dma_configure() API call takes care of it already.

(I don't know exactly how these patches all fit together, so that's
probably not accurate, but that's the *sort* of thing I'd like to include.)

If that actually *is* what's going on, I have to wonder why this isn't
implemented as a very simple IOMMU instead of adding dma_pfn_offset,
which is present on all arches but only used on ARM. In some sense that
offset is parallel but incompatible with an IOMMU: they both translate DMA
addresses into system RAM addresses.

I don't have much history on any previous discussion on the subject you are referring to. I assume it would have happened when of_dma_configure() was first introduced. On Keystone, we don't have IOMMU support and dma_pfn_offset is needed to translate DMA address to System RAM address and vice-versa. So this has to be supported for Keystone. There can be enhancement for IOMMU with out impacting this feature for Keystone.

I know that Will Deacon is working on updates for IOMMU which is partially touched by my series (1/7). Probably this can be a question when that patches comes up for review or could be a seperate discussion topic.

I think it is better this series is applied to the next branch for v4.1 as soon as possible so that others can add features on top of this without breaking the function for Keystone.

I am looking forward for the merge of this series to the next branch at the earliest.

Thanks.

Murali

I know you're not adding this, and I assume somebody explored that option
and rejected it for good reasons. I just missed that discussion.

This patch use the new helper function of_pci_dma_configure() to update
the device dma configuration.
