New recipient: Alex Williamson, who added the pci_get_dma_source() quirk that resembles this one. Alex, Andrew is working on a patch to fix some more buggy PCIe devices like the Ricoh ones that you added a quirk for. His current patch can be found at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42679#c22 Ir only works on Intel IOMMUs, and sort of duplicates the functionality of your quirk. Obviously, I hate the duplication and would like to fold them together, but there are a few fundamental differences. Most notably, Andrew's patch enables the incorrect requester ID *in addition to* the correct one. I'm not sure if this is necessary, but it seems like a nice defensive feature in case the vendor fixes the problem in a minor rev, and the ability is also needed by PCIe phantom function support, The other thing is that pci_get_dma_source returns a pci_dev, but Andrew's patch deals with devices which use requester IDs which don't correspond to existing PCI devices at all: - Marvell SATA controllers which exist only as devid 00.0, but generate request devids of 00.1. (The latter function might be PATA support on chips which support that.) - Mellanox 26428 Infiniband controllers which also only provide one function, but use a source devid of 00.6 - An LSI MegaRAID SAS 2078 PCI-X controller that is device 0e.0, but generates request devids of 08.0 - An Adaptec RAID controller ie 0e.0 that makes requests as 01.0. My thought for implementing Andrew's version was to add an 8-bit devfn_quirk field to struct pci_dev that contains the delta to the devfn that will appear in the source requester ID. (By using a delta rather than the target value, the default value of 0 means "no quirk".) This would be initialized at boot time using a standard PCI quirk, avoiding the need for linearly searching potentially long device lists every time an IOMMU mapping is set up. (Even if I only use a single-bit flag, that would avoid the list searching for all the non-buggy devices.) But I'm not quite sure what the locking rules are on the whole swap_pci_ref business. Or if the Ricoh devices have to be handled more carefully because multiple functions need to arbitrate over the IOMMU tables for function 0. Can I request some sage guidance from someone with more experience in the area?
