Re: [PATCH] qemu-kvm: Flush icache after dma operations for ia64

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Ok,

Trying once more. After spending a couple of hours trying to follow
the QEMU dma codeflow, I have convinced myself Avi is right and those
two functions don't need to do the flushing as they all end up calling
dma_bdrv_cb() which calls dma_brdv_unmap(). I have added a couple
comments to the code, which will hopefully save the next person the
'pleasure' of trying to figure out this too.

Cheers,
Jes

ia64 system depends on that platform issues snoop cycle to flush
icache for memory touched by DMA write operations, but virtual DMA
operations is emulated by memcpy, so use explict instrustions to flush
the related icache, otherwise, guest may use obsolete icache.

Slightly modified version of Xiantao's patch, which avoids the #ifdef's
for ia64 by introducing a dma_flush_range() function defined as a noop
on architectures which do not need it.
