Hello Xiang,
This patch has the opposite effect on my platform as DMA allocation is
aligned on 4k page.
For instance i declared:
- in RX 6 buffers (of 512 bytes)
- in TX 4 buffers ( of 512 bytes)
The result is (kernel trace)
[ 41.915896] virtio_rpmsg_bus virtio0: rx buffers: va ebb5f5ca, dma
0x0x10042000
[ 41.915922] virtio_rpmsg_bus virtio0: tx buffers: va a7865153, dma
0x0x10043000
The TX buffer memory is allocated on next 4k page...
Anyway separate the RX and TX allocation makes sense. This could also
allow to allocate buffers in 2 different memories.
For time being, issue is that only one memory area can be attached to
the virtio device for DMA allocation... and PA/DA translations are missing.
This means that we probably need (in a first step) a new remoteproc API
for memory allocation.
These memories should be declared and mmaped in rproc platform drivers
(memory region) or in resource table (carveout).
This is partially done in the API for the platform driver
(rproc_mem_entry_init) but not available for rproc clients.
Regards
Arnaud
