Subject: [PATCH 0/3] PCI DMA pseudo-bypass for powernv
Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2018 17:34:34 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180629073437.4060-1-ruscur@russell.cc> (raw)

These patches implement a new set of DMA operations designed to allow
devices that cannot address bit 59 to use more than 32-bit DMA.

The previous implementation for PHB3 assumed contiguous memory, which
is no longer the case on POWER9 and possibly later.  As a result, a new
approach was necessary, which is what this new implementation does.

These patches aren't perfect yet - most notably, there is no
implementation of unmap() - once a TCE is created it is never freed.
For the most part this isn't an issue, but could potentially be a
problem for a device that can't address many bits and maps *a lot* of
memory.

I have a much more complex implementation in the back that I will post
in future, but until that's ready and fully tested, I believe the
drastic performance improvement is worth getting this upstream sooner
rather than later.

Thanks to Benjamin Herrenschmidt, Alistair Popple and Timothy Pearson
for their help.
