Subject: [PATCH 2.6.34] ehci-hcd: add option to enable 64-bit DMA support
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2010 21:10:13 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B7CAF95.6020306@gmail.com> (raw)
Add a module parameter to allow the user to enable 64-bit DMA support in EHCI,
which has been forcibly disabled since 2003 - see:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg17230.html
At that time the comment was "it'd only matter on a few big Intel boxes anyway",
however the situation is much different today when many new machines have 4GB
or more of RAM and IOMMU/SWIOTLB are thus needlessly required for USB transfers.
For now, the support remains disabled by default and is controlled by an
allow_64bit module parameter.
Note that some USB device drivers may require updates to pass the DMA
capabilities up to their higher layers to avoid unnecessary IOMMU or bounce-
buffer use (i.e. networking layer NETIF_F_HIGHDMA). Some of these checks were
disabled by the patch listed above, and more may be required again today.
However, those previous checks were done incorrectly using dma_supported,
which checks to see whether a device's DMA mask can be validly set to a given
mask, not whether its previously set mask will accomodate the mask passed in.
