Hi, While using CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG i came across this warning which I think is a false positive. As shown dma_sync_single_for_device() are called from the dma_map_single() call path. This triggers the warning since the dma-debug code have not yet been made aware of the mapping. I try to solve this by introducing __dma_sync_single_for_device() which do not call into the dma-debug code. I'm no expert and this might be a bad way of solving the problem but it allowed me to keep working. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at lib/dma-debug.c:1209 check_sync+0x154/0x5e4 ipmmu-vmsa e6740000.mmu: DMA-API: device driver tries to sync DMA memory it has not allocated [device address=0x000000006e89b008] [size=8 bytes] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.6.0-rc5-00012-g52e78c1-dirty #1 Hardware name: Generic R8A7791 (Flattened Device Tree) Backtrace: [<c020a0a4>] (dump_backtrace) from [<c020a250>] (show_stack+0x18/0x1c) r7:c03ebad0 r6:00000009 r5:60000093 r4:00000000 [<c020a238>] (show_stack) from [<c03cb7e4>] (dump_stack+0x84/0xa4) [<c03cb760>] (dump_stack) from [<c021e3ac>] (__warn+0xd0/0x100) r5:00000000 r4:ef05dac8 [<c021e2dc>] (__warn) from [<c021e41c>] (warn_slowpath_fmt+0x40/0x48) r9:00010000 r8:00000000 r7:c0c69c40 r6:c0c02754 r5:ef05db78 r4:ef222810 [<c021e3e0>] (warn_slowpath_fmt) from [<c03ebad0>] (check_sync+0x154/0x5e4) r3:c0945b6f r2:c0936e85 [<c03eb97c>] (check_sync) from [<c03ed594>] (debug_dma_sync_single_for_device+0x64/0x70) r10:00000009 r9:0000000c r8:ee89b008 r7:00000000 r6:6e89b008 r5:00000000 r4:6e89b008 [<c03ed530>] (debug_dma_sync_single_for_device) from [<c0465298>] (__arm_lpae_set_pte.part.0+0x80/0x8c) r5:00000001 r4:ef222810 [<c0465218>] (__arm_lpae_set_pte.part.0) from [<c046553c>] (__arm_lpae_map+0x298/0x2f0) r7:00000008 r6:ef25e000 r4:ee898500 [<c04652a4>] (__arm_lpae_map) from [<c0465b18>] (arm_lpae_map+0xcc/0xe4) r10:c0465f40 r9:00001000 r8:40000000 r7:00000000 r6:6f25c000 r5:00000000 r4:000008c0 [<c0465a4c>] (arm_lpae_map) from [<c0465f78>] (ipmmu_map+0x38/0x40) r7:40000000 r6:00000000 r5:00001000 r4:c0465a4c [<c0465f40>] (ipmmu_map) from [<c0463d90>] (iommu_map+0xf8/0x15c) r4:ee895608 [<c0463c98>] (iommu_map) from [<c0213524>] (arm_coherent_iommu_map_page+0x1d4/0x2d4) r10:ef386940 r9:00001000 r8:00000000 r7:00000000 r6:40000000 r5:00000000 r4:00000000 [<c0213350>] (arm_coherent_iommu_map_page) from [<c0213690>] (arm_iommu_map_page+0x6c/0x74) r10:c0c61f44 r9:ef19d210 r8:00000001 r7:00001000 r6:00000000 r5:ec5ddb80 r4:00000000 [<c0213624>] (arm_iommu_map_page) from [<c04f7d64>] (sh_msiof_spi_probe+0x430/0x7b0) r9:00000000 r8:c0213624 r7:ef19d210 r6:ef242800 r5:ef1b4010 r4:ef242af0 [<c04f7934>] (sh_msiof_spi_probe) from [<c049fd3c>] (platform_drv_probe+0x58/0xa8) r10:00000000 r9:00000000 r8:c0c1f8d4 r7:c0c7e910 r6:c0c1f8d4 r5:ef1b4010 r4:c04f7934 [<c049fce4>] (platform_drv_probe) from [<c049e788>] (driver_probe_device+0x13c/0x2a4) r7:c0c7e910 r6:00000000 r5:c0c7e900 r4:ef1b4010 [<c049e64c>] (driver_probe_device) from [<c049e978>] (__driver_attach+0x88/0xac) r9:c0c34000 r8:c0a3c010 r7:c0c1cf08 r6:c0c1f8d4 r5:ef1b4044 r4:ef1b4010 [<c049e8f0>] (__driver_attach) from [<c049ce44>] (bus_for_each_dev+0x74/0x98) r7:c0c1cf08 r6:c049e8f0 r5:c0c1f8d4 r4:00000000 [<c049cdd0>] (bus_for_each_dev) from [<c049ebd0>] (driver_attach+0x20/0x28) r6:ef1cc200 r5:00000000 r4:c0c1f8d4 [<c049ebb0>] (driver_attach) from [<c049d5d8>] (bus_add_driver+0xd4/0x1e4) [<c049d504>] (bus_add_driver) from [<c049f2dc>] (driver_register+0xa4/0xe8) r7:c0a3c010 r6:00000000 r5:c0a1e400 r4:c0c1f8d4 [<c049f238>] (driver_register) from [<c04a0778>] (__platform_driver_register+0x38/0x4c) r5:c0a1e400 r4:ee958fc0 [<c04a0740>] (__platform_driver_register) from [<c0a1e418>] (sh_msiof_spi_drv_init+0x18/0x20) [<c0a1e400>] (sh_msiof_spi_drv_init) from [<c0a00e1c>] (do_one_initcall+0x10c/0x1c0) [<c0a00d10>] (do_one_initcall) from [<c0a00ff8>] (kernel_init_freeable+0x128/0x1f4) r9:c0c34000 r8:c0c34000 r7:c0a47e60 r6:c0a3c83c r5:000000bd r4:00000006 [<c0a00ed0>] (kernel_init_freeable) from [<c071067c>] (kernel_init+0x10/0x118) r9:00000000[ 1.879529] ata1: link resume succeeded after 1 retries r8:00000000 r7:00000000 r6:00000000 r5:c071066c r4:00000000 [<c071066c>] (kernel_init) from [<c0206e08>] (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x2c) r5:c071066c r4:00000000 ---[ end trace 6eb9a3df3009d491 ]--- Niklas Söderlund (2): dma-mapping: add __dma_sync_single_for_device() iommu/io-pgtable-arm: use __dma_sync_single_for_device() drivers/iommu/io-pgtable-arm.c | 2 +- include/linux/dma-mapping.h | 9 ++++++++- 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) -- 2.8.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dmaengine" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
