Subject: [PATCH] intel-iommu: Fix alloc_coherent for pass-through devices
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:41:50 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1256182910.2842.36.camel@2710p.home> (raw)
After 19943b0e (intel-iommu: Unify hardware and software passthrough
support) hardware pass-through mode devices make use of intel_dma_ops
rather than swiotlb_dma_ops. The problem is that intel_alloc_coherent
ignores the device coherent_dma_mask when allocating the page since it
expects to remap the page and provide the device with an iova within the
coherent mask. This breaks when we use pass-through.
The patch below crudely works around the problem, but I hope we can come
up with something better without reintroducing the dependency on
swiotlb. The device hitting this problem is an HP smart array
controller on a Proliant G6 system. It uses a default 32bit coherent
DMA mask, and stalls, presumably waiting on control data to change in
the wrong address space, when it gets a coherent buffer above 4G. This
device also doesn't exactly play nice when using VT-d in anything other
than pass-through mode, so switching it into mapped mode is not really
an option.
