[PATCH v2 0/8] Tegra GART driver clean up and optimization

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

 



Hello,

This patch-series makes GART driver one step closer to become actually
usable by addressing the following:

1. Thierry noticed that Memory Controller driver uses registers that belong
   to GART in [0] and for now MC driver only reports the fact of GART's page
   fault. The first two patches of the series are addressing this shortcoming
   by providing integration of the MC driver with the GART.

2. Currently GART has bee kept disabled by the commit c7e3ca515e784
   ("iommu/tegra: gart: Do not register with bus"). If GART is re-enabled than
   all devices in the system are getting assigned to the GART as it is a global
   systems IOMMU provider. This is wrong simply because GART doesn't handle all
   those devices. This series makes GART to accept only devices that are
   explicitly assigned to GART in device tree using 'iommu' phandle.

3. This series makes a generic clean up of the driver, like removing dead code.

4. This series introduces and utilizes iotlb_sync_map() callback that was
   previously suggested by Joerg Roedel in [1], optimizing mapping / unmapping
   performance.

Changelog:

v2: Addressed review comments from Robin Murphy to v1 by moving devices
    iommu_fwspec check to gart_iommu_add_device().

    Dropped the "Provide single domain and group for all devices" patch from
    the series for now because after some more considering it became not
    exactly apparent whether that is what we need, that was also suggested
    by Robin Murphy in the review comment. Maybe something like a runtime
    IOMMU usage for devices would be a better solution, allowing to implement
    transparent context switching of virtual IOMMU domains.

    Some very minor code cleanups, reworded commit messages.
