Then how does this work?: rdcfg.strtab = memremap(rdcfg.strtab_dma, size, MEMREMAP_WB); You're explicitly asking for a write-back mapping. > During SMMU probe functions, dmem_alloc_coherent() will be used > allocate new memory (part of existing flow). > This patch copy STE or first level descriptor to *this* memory, after > mapping physical address using memremap(). > It just copy everything so there should not be any issue related to > attribute/content. > > Yes, copying done after mapping it as MEMREMAP_WB. if you want I can > use it as MEMREMAP_WT You need to take into account whether or not the device is coherent, and the DMA API is designed to handle that for you. But even then, this is fragile as hell because you end up having to infer the hardware configuration from the device to understand the size and format of the data structures. If the crashkernel isn't identical to the host kernel (in terms of kconfig, driver version, firmware tables, cmdline etc) then this is very likely to go wrong. That's why I think that you need to reinitialise any devices that want to do DMA.
