Subject: [BK PATCH] on-chip coherent memory API for DMA
Date: 06 Jul 2004 18:14:35 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1089155678.2854.796.camel@mulgrave> (raw)
This is a rollup of the previous patch I sent to the list for the
on-chip API. It's available at
bk://linux-voyager.bkbits.net/dma-declare-coherent-memory-2.6
I split the patches I sent up into the five separate areas that they
affect:
ChangeSet@1.1783, 2004-06-30 21:44:24-05:00, jejb@mulgrave.(none)
Convert NCR_Q720 to use dma_declare_coherent_memory
This board makes an ideal example for using the API
since it consists of 4 SCSI I/O processors and a
0.5-2MB block of memory on a single MCA card.

ChangeSet@1.1782, 2004-06-30 21:38:34-05:00, jejb@mulgrave.(none)
Add x86 implementation of dma_declare_coherent_memory
This actually implements the API (all except for
DMA_MEMORY_INCLUDES_CHILDREN).

ChangeSet@1.1781, 2004-06-30 21:11:14-05:00, jejb@mulgrave.(none)
Add vmalloc alignment constraints
vmalloc is used by ioremap() to get regions for
remapping I/O space. To feed these regions back
into a __get_free_pages() type memory allocator,
they are expected to have more alignment than
get_vm_area() proves. So add additional alignment
constraints for VM_IOREMAP.

ChangeSet@1.1780, 2004-06-30 21:08:15-05:00, jejb@mulgrave.(none)
Add memory region bitmap implementations
These APIs deal with bitmaps representing contiguous
memory regions. The idea is to set, free and find
a contiguous area.
For ease of implementation (as well as to conform
to the standard requirements), the bitmaps always
return n aligned n length regions. The implementation
is also limited to BITS_PER_LONG contiguous regions.

ChangeSet@1.1779, 2004-06-30 21:02:11-05:00, jejb@mulgrave.(none)
Add dma_declare_coherent_memory() API
This adds the description and a null prototype.
