Subject: [PATCH v3 09/20] xen/biomerge: Don't allow biovec to be merge when Linux is not using 4KB page
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2015 17:46:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1438966019-19322-10-git-send-email-julien.grall@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1438966019-19322-1-git-send-email-julien.grall@citrix.com>

On ARM all dma-capable devices on a same platform may not be protected
by an IOMMU. The DMA requests have to use the BFN (i.e MFN on ARM) in
order to use correctly the device.

While the DOM0 memory is allocated in a 1:1 fashion (PFN == MFN), grant
mapping will screw this contiguous mapping.

When Linux is using 64KB page granularitary, the page may be split
accross multiple non-contiguous MFN (Xen is using 4KB page
granularity). Therefore a DMA request will likely fail.

Checking that a 64KB page is using contiguous MFN is tedious. For
now, always says that biovec are not mergeable.

    There is some ideas to check whether two biovec could be merged
    (see [1]) but it's not critical and can be consider as a performance
    improvement.

    Changes in v3:
        - Update commit message
        - s/mfn/bfn/ base on the new renaming
        - Update TODO

    Changes in v2:
        - Remove the workaround and check if the Linux page granularity
        is the same as Xen or not
