Subject: [RFC] skge: limit DMA to 32 bit
Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2010 09:15:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100921071518.GA9081@redhat.com> (raw)
We have old fedora bug report about not working skge device on some
Gigabyte motherboard:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447489
In dmesg there are messages:
skge 0000:02:0b.0: PCI error cmd=0x7 status=0x22b0
skge 0000:02:0b.0: unable to clear error (so ignoring them)
Status value 0x22b0 include PCI_STATUS_REC_MASTER_ABORT bit set, what
mean that DMA transfer on PCI bus was aborted.
I provided to user modified driver with module parameter, that allow
to experiment with different dma_mask's. He told that maximum working
dma_mask for him is 32 bits set.
Is 32bit DMA limit for every skge device acceptable patch?
Note, patch change possible driver DMA address space as below:
- 32bit - no change, still low mem only (896MB)
- 32bit-PAE - down from 36bit to low mem (896MB)
- 64bit - down from 64bit to 32bit
