The page table entries must be cleaned from the cache before being

Thanks for fixing this, this has been long pending. There have been some
previous attempts at this as well by Ramesh Gupta, with the last thread
(a long time now) being

Santosh,
Can you please take a look at this patch and provide your comments?
regards
Suman

I remember NAKing this approach in past and my stand remains same.
The cache APIs which you are trying to use here are not suppose
to be used outside.
So this particular change has a long history (have to dig through to educate myself). I have not seen clean_dcache_area attempted before, and I wasn't sure myself it it can be used here. Ramesh and Fernando definitely did start out with dmac_flush_range and outer_flush_range which was definitely nacked [1].
OK. Please wrap the lines appropriately while replying.
Hmm, weird. I don't see this with my other responses. But sorry for
the trouble.
Please note that the omap-iommu driver already uses clean_dcache_area().
That's where I got the idea :-)
So that fall through the cracks then ;-)
I think the right way to fix this is to make use of streaming APIs.
If needed, IOMMU can have its own dma_ops for special case
handling if any.
I can replace clean_dcache_area() with dma_map_page() as done by the arm-smmu
driver. If that's fine I'll modify this patch accordingly in v2.
Ramesh had also attempted to use dma_page_single() previously [2], and Russell has instead suggested to extend the cpu cache operations [3].
Ramesh had worked based on this suggestion and the series reached v6 [4] (same as link I mentioned above) and this is the last attempt on this, but the thread went silent.
I am wondering if that is still valid and is the right way to go, as this seems to be a common problem. I do see dmac_flush_range being used for similar purposes in msm_iommu.c and exynos-iommu.c, so looks like they also fell through the cracks.
Thanks for the links. I think you should revive the v6 series unless and until
RMK has some other suggestion. This can also help to remove the wrong usages
from other IOMMU drivers as you pointed out.
OK, will do.

Suman
Laurent,
Can you drop this patch out from v2 so that it is not clubbed with the small cleanup patches, and we can track this separately?
Agree
Regards,
Santosh
