Subject: [PATCH] media: venus: Fix iova allocation from restrict region
The VPU issues DMA through several SMMU streams, and the hardware does
not give every stream the same addressable range. The non-pixel stream
cannot address the low 600MB of IOVA space, while the pixel stream can
address the full range:
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| non-pixel stream addressable range (600 MB - 3.5 GB) |
| 0x25800000 - 0xe0000000 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| pixel stream addressable range (0 - 3.5 GB) |
| 0x00000000 - 0xe0000000 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
A single "iommus" property on the video-codec node puts every stream
in one IOMMU domain sharing one IOVA space, so nothing stops a
non-pixel buffer from landing below 600MB. Once an allocation lands
below that boundary the hardware faults, which shows up as unhandled
SMMU page faults and spontaneous reboots.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/msm/-/work_items/100
Fix this by reserving the 0-600MB range, below the boundary the
non-pixel stream cannot address, using dma_iova_try_alloc() so the
IOMMU-DMA core never hands that range out to a real DMA mapping. This
reserves only IOVA space, it does not allocate any physical memory.
Since sub-nodes for non-pixel, pixel, and secure streams do not exist
yet and only a single device is available, the restriction is applied
to both non-pixel and pixel stream IDs.
