Tony, This is a cleaned up version of the machvec=dig patch: * added CONFIG_IA64_GENERIC to avoid the compile problems, and test built with different config combinations * moved include declaration to be consistent * got review and sign off from Alex Williamson as well. * +extern int swiotlb_late_init_with_default_size (size_t size); I left this because there is no applicable header file. I'm no fan of extern declarations either, but I didn't want to add a header just for this declaration, nor modify the machvec headers just to accommodate this hack. Thanks! -T Patch Description: On HP zx1 machines, the 'machvec=dig' parameter is needed for the kdump kernel to avoid problems with the HP sba iommu. The problem is that during the boot of the kdump kernel, the iommu is re-initialized, so in-flight DMA from improperly shutdown drivers causes an IOTLB miss which leads to an MCA. With kdump, the idea is to get into the kdump kernel with as little code as we can, so shutting down drivers properly is not an option. The workaround is to add 'machvec=dig' to the kdump kernel boot parameters. This makes the kdump kernel avoid using the sba iommu altogether, leaving the IOTLB intact. Any ongoing DMA falls harmlessly outside the kdump kernel. After the kdump kernel reboots, all devices will have been shutdown properly and DMA stopped. This patch pushes that functionality into the sba iommu initialization code, so that users won't have to find the obscure documentation telling them about 'machvec=dig'. This patch only affects HP platforms. It still includes one extern declaration in the file, because no applicable header file exists.
