Subject: PPC4XX DMA polarity bug in linuxppc-2.6.9
Date: Thu, 09 Dec 2004 10:13:46 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <41B8255A.3040101@airspan.com> (raw)
I believe that there is a PPC4xx DMA driver bug in the following kernel,
file and function:
linuxppc-2.6.9,
/arch/ppc/syslib/ppc4xx_dma.c,
ppc4xx_init_dma_channel()
Symptoms are:
DMA does not work as the polarity bits (DMA Req, Ack, EOT) are not set
correctly in the DMA controller using the ppc4xx_init_dma_channel()
function call, but when this is called twice in succession, then it does
work.
Cause is (I believe):
/arch/ppc/syslib/ppc4xx_dma.c:
On line 469 the old polarity bits in p_dma_ch are ORed in when it should
be ORing in the new polarity bits from p_init. p_init is then saved into
p_dma_ch. This means that it only gets correctly programmed when the
function is called twice:
467 /* clear all polarity signals and then "or" in new signal levels */
468 polarity &= ~GET_DMA_POLARITY(dmanr);
469 polarity |= p_dma_ch->polarity;
Fix could be:
469 polarity |= p_init->polarity;
Is there anyone else using the PPC4XX DMA?
