Hi Baoquan,
During driver being loaded and initialized, when there is a new dma
request, the function
__get_valid_domain_for_dev
is called, and then new page is mapped.
Please check this:
struct dma_map_ops intel_dma_ops = {
.alloc = intel_alloc_coherent,
.free = intel_free_coherent,
.map_sg = intel_map_sg,
.unmap_sg = intel_unmap_sg,
.map_page = intel_map_page,
.unmap_page = intel_unmap_page,
.mapping_error = intel_mapping_error,
};
You can also add dump_stack() in __get_valid_domain_for_dev to debug.
Thanks
Zhenhua

Hi Baoquan,
In the early version of this patchset, old page tables are used by new
kernel. But as discussed, we need to make kernel use new pages when
there is a new dma request , so we need to unmap the pages which were
mapped in old kernel, and this is what this patch does.
OK, just a new page table allocated in init_domain(), right? I thought a
specific empty page-table is allocated for these new domains in kdump
kernel.
Thanks

When a device driver issues the first dma_map command for a device, we
assign a new and empty page-table, thus removing all mappings from the
old kernel for the device.
Hi Zhenhua,
From your patch I got it will remove all mappings, assign a new
page-table. But I didn't got why you stress an empty page-table. Did I
miss anything?
Thanks
