[PATCH v3 9/9] PCI: endpoint: Set prefetch when allocating memory for 64-bit BARs

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

 



>From the PCIe 6.0 base spec:
"Generally only 64-bit BARs are good candidates, since only Legacy
Endpoints are permitted to set the Prefetchable bit in 32-bit BARs,
and most scalable platforms map all 32-bit Memory BARs into
non-prefetchable Memory Space regardless of the Prefetchable bit value."

"For a PCI Express Endpoint, 64-bit addressing must be supported for all
BARs that have the Prefetchable bit Set. 32-bit addressing is permitted
for all BARs that do not have the Prefetchable bit Set."

"Any device that has a range that behaves like normal memory should mark
the range as prefetchable. A linear frame buffer in a graphics device is
an example of a range that should be marked prefetchable."

The PCIe spec tells us that we should have the prefetchable bit set for
64-bit BARs backed by "normal memory". The backing memory that we allocate
for a 64-bit BAR using pci_epf_alloc_space() (which calls
dma_alloc_coherent()) is obviously "normal memory".

Thus, set the prefetchable bit when allocating backing memory for a 64-bit
BAR.
