This switches virtio to use the DMA API on Xen and if requested by module option. This fixes virtio on Xen, and it should break anything because it's off by default on everything except Xen PV on x86. To the Xen people: is this okay? If it doesn't work on other Xen variants (PVH? HVM?), can you submit follow-up patches to fix it? To everyone else: we've waffled on this for way too long. I think we should to get DMA API implementation in with a conservative policy like this rather than waiting until we achieve perfection. I'm tired of carrying these patches around. I changed queue allocation around a bit in this version. Per Michael's request, we no longer use dma_zalloc_coherent in the !dma_api case. Instead we use alloc_pages_exact, just like the current code does. This simplifies the ring address accessors, because they can always load from the dma addr rather than depending on vring_use_dma_api themselves. There's an odd warning in here if the ring's physical address doesn't fit in a dma_addr_t. This could only possible happen on really weird configurations in which phys_addr_t is wider than dma_addr_t. AFAICT this is only possible on i386 PAE systems and on MIPS, and even there it only happens if highmem is off. But that means we're safe, since we should never end up with high allocations on non-highmem systems unless we explicitly ask for them, which we don't. If this is too scary, I can add yet more cruft to avoid it, but it seems harmless enough to me, and it means that the driver will be totally clean once all the vring_use_dma_api calls go away. Michael, if these survive review, can you stage these in your tree? Can you also take a look at tools/virtio? I probably broke it, but I couldn't get it to build without these patches either, so I'm stuck. Changes from v6: - Remove HAVE_DMA_ATTRS and add Acked-by (Cornelia) - Add some missing signed-off-by lines from me (whoops) - Rework queue allocation (Michael) Changes from v5: - Typo fixes (David Woodhouse) - Use xen_domain() to detect Xen (David Vrabel) - Pass struct vring_virtqueue * into vring_use_dma_api for future proofing - Removed module parameter (Michael) Changes from v4: - Bake vring_use_dma_api in from the beginning. - Automatically enable only on Xen. - Add module parameter. - Add s390 and alpha DMA API implementations. - Rebase to 4.5-rc1. Changes from v3: - More big-endian fixes. - Added better virtio-ring APIs that handle allocation and use them in virtio-mmio and virtio-pci. - Switch to Michael's virtio-net patch. Changes from v2: - Fix vring_mapping_error incorrect argument Changes from v1: - Fix an endian conversion error causing a BUG to hit. - Fix a DMA ordering issue (swiotlb=force works now). - Minor cleanups.
