[PATCH v3 0/3] phase out CONFIG_VIRT_TO_BUS

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

 



From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

The virt_to_bus/bus_to_virt interface has been deprecated for
decades. After Jakub Kicinski put a lot of work into cleaning out the
network drivers using them, there are only a couple of other drivers
left, which can all be removed or otherwise cleaned up, to remove the
old interface for good.

Any out of tree drivers using virt_to_bus() should be converted to
using the dma-mapping interfaces, typically dma_alloc_coherent()
or dma_map_single()).

There are a few m68k and ppc32 specific drivers that keep using the
interfaces, but these are all guarded with architecture-specific
Kconfig dependencies, and are not actually broken. It might be
helpful as a follow-up to replace them with platform specific
helpers for amiga, m68k-vme and powermac.

There are still a number of drivers that are using virt_to_phys()
and phys_to_virt() in place of dma-mapping operations, and these
are often broken, but they are out of scope for this series.

If there are no more issues identified with this series, I'll
merge it through the asm-generic tree. The SCSI patches can
also get merged separately through the SCSI maintainers' tree
if they prefer.

Changes since v2:
 - Drop the dpt_i2o driver completely rather than fixing it
 - fix mistake in BusLogic patch

Changes since v1:
 - dropped VME patches that are already in staging-next
 - dropped media patch that gets merged independently
 - added a networking patch and dropped it again after it got merged
 - replace BusLogic removal with a workaround
