[PATCH kernel RFC 0/4] powerpc/powenv/ioda: Allow huge DMA window at 4GB

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

 



Here is an attempt to support bigger DMA space for devices
supporting DMA masks less than 59 bits (GPUs come into mind
first). POWER9 PHBs have an option to map 2 windows at 0
and select a windows based on DMA address being below or above
4GB.

This adds the "iommu=iommu_bypass" kernel parameter and
supports VFIO+pseries machine - current this requires telling
upstream+unmodified QEMU about this via
-global spapr-pci-host-bridge.dma64_win_addr=0x100000000
or per-phb property. 4/4 advertises the new option but
there is no automation around it in QEMU (should it be?).

For now it is either 1<<59 or 4GB mode; dynamic switching is
not supported (could be via sysfs).

This is based on sha1
a6ed68d6468b Linus Torvalds "Merge tag 'drm-next-2019-11-27' of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/drm/drm".

Please comment. Thanks.
