ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN is currently defined as needed in asm/scatterlist.h. It was suggested[1] that this should probably be a proper Kconfig. At the same time, we can clean up most of the asm/scatterlist.h files to reduce redundancy. This makes parisc the only architecture that still has an asm/scatterlist.h file due to the #define sg_virt_addr (which could probably be cleaned up further still) Andrew, once we get a few more Acked-bys can we take this through your tree as suggested by Will?

Perhaps part of the reason for the lack of response is that there's no compelling reason in the change log above for doing this. The usual reason for eliminating ARCH_HAS is that it's hiding something that would be better expressed a different way (that's actually intuitive to grep) or that it's expressing something that should be configurable. Neither of these reasons apply in this case, because SG_CHAIN definitely is a property of the architecture not the config space and it's not really hiding anything. Perhaps now might be the time to ask which are the remaining architectures that cannot do SG chaining and then we can fix them and pull the whole thing out.

Not quite. You're making the assumption that we can be sure that all the scatterlist users on an architecture have been converted - that's simply not true on ARM. We have some which have, and some which still have not been audited. The cases that get us here would be old platform DMA code which walks scatterlists handed to it from drivers - stuff like arch/arm/mach-rpc/dma.c (which probably can cope), and drivers/scsi/arm/* (which definitely can't because of their SCSI pointers save/restore handling message.) I know that's one case where SG_CHAIN definitely isn't supported on ARM. So, we had decided not to enable it, but this means that new stuff isn't benefitting from this. I've recently asked arm-soc to enable it for the modern multi-platform builds, because modern stuff really be written with correct SG chaining in mind. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: now at 9.7Mbps down 460kbps up... slowly improving, and getting towards what was expected from it. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread

No I'm not, I said "now might be the time to ask which are the remaining architectures that cannot do SG chaining" I think it's time to list them so we know what work remains. I know we've got a bunch in parisc (all of our iommu code in driver/parisc - about 5 different ones - are unconverted). However, the conversion is pretty simple; it's mostly replacing sglist++ with sglist=sg_next(sglist) > We have some which have, and some which still > have not been audited. > > The cases that get us here would be old platform DMA code which walks > scatterlists handed to it from drivers - stuff like > arch/arm/mach-rpc/dma.c (which probably can cope), and drivers/scsi/arm/* > (which definitely can't because of their SCSI pointers save/restore > handling message.)

Right now in mainline, if ARM has IOMMU support enabled, then SG_CHAIN support will also be enabled. I've a patch out of tree which I've been using for years which enables SG_CHAIN for a particular SoC (Dove). Otherwise, it doesn't have support for SG_CHAIN. PARISC on the other hand (as you list) has no support to enable SG_CHAIN under any circumstances. Where we're disagreeing is whether this is something that is always-on or always-off for any particular architecture. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: now at 9.7Mbps down 460kbps up... slowly improving, and getting towards what was expected from it. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread

Actually, I don't disagree with that. PA used to share sb_iommu with ia64 (it's the same chipset for the HP versions), but we can't now because ia64 is chained and we're not and there's no way to say chained for this platform but not for these other more legacy ones. If you have a proposal for this, I'd be interested, so I don't have to do an all or nothing conversion, but the config option isn't it because our platform configuration is runtime determined (we usually select every driver and let the actual one be chosen at runtime from the config table).

At runtime, it's obviously a lot harder to resolve. However, that's not what we're trying to do with this patch. The main issue is that Laura is trying to add SG chain support to ARM64. At the moment, ARM64 uses the asm-generic version of scatterlist.h directly. Her first spin of the patch involved creating arch/arm64/include/asm/scatterlist.h, which was nothing more than an include of the asm-generic header file of the same name, and the definition of ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN. That seemed to be extremely wasteful and sub-optimal way to handle this. Moving this symbol into the Kconfig means that ARM64 no longer has to have this additional file (and probably a bunch of other architectures fall into that same camp) and the ARM specific CONFIG_ARM_HAS_SG_CHAIN can be eliminated in favour of the now generic cross-arch config symbol. We have plenty of other Kconfig symbols which control similar features throughout the kernel source, there is no reason that this one should not be the same. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: now at 9.7Mbps down 460kbps up... slowly improving, and getting towards what was expected from it. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread
