Subject: [PATCH 2/2] powerpc/pseries: Check if EEH is enabled on DDW mechanism code
Date: Tue, 19 Jan 2016 18:18:20 -0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1453234700-27593-3-git-send-email-gpiccoli@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1453234700-27593-1-git-send-email-gpiccoli@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
The Dynamic DMA Window (DDW) mechanism relies on EEH to obtain the
configuration address of devices. For example, the functions query_ddw()
and create_ddw() make use of eeh_dev struct. So, the dependency is
intrinsic - DDW mechanism will fail if EEH is not enabled.
Despite this dependency, no check for EEH availability is performed in DDW
code. This patch adds a check based on eeh_enabled() function, so if EEH is
not enabled before eeh_dev struct use, DDW will fallback to default iommu
mechanism and won't fail.
One use case for this patch is when we disable EEH globally via kernel
command-line ("eeh=off") - without the patch, a device probe can hit a kernel
oops because EEH is disabled but DDW will try to use it.
