[PATCH] media: vb2-dma-contig: configure DMA max segment size properly

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

 



This patch lets vb2-dma-contig memory allocator to configure DMA max
segment size properly for the client device. Setting it is needed to let
DMA-mapping subsystem to create a single, contiguous mapping in DMA
address space. This is essential for all devices, which use dma-contig
videobuf2 memory allocator and shared buffers (in USERPTR or DMAbuf modes
of operations).

Hello,

This patch is a follow-up of my previous attempts to let Exynos
multimedia devices to work properly with shared buffers when IOMMU is
enabled:
1. https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg96946.html
2. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/97316
3. https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/30870/

As sugested by Hans, configuring DMA max segment size should be done by
videobuf2-dma-contig module instead of requiring all device drivers to
do it on their own.

Here is some backgroud why this is done in videobuf2-dc not in the
respective generic bus code:

Best regards,
