[PATCH] powerpc: ensure that swiotlb buffer is allocated from low memory

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

 



From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Some powerpc platforms (e.g. 85xx) limit DMA-able memory way below 4G. If a
system has more physical memory than this limit, the swiotlb buffer is not
addressable because it is allocated from memblock using top-down mode.

Force memblock to bottom-up mode before calling swiotlb_init() to ensure
that the swiotlb buffer is DMA-able.
