2009-01-07PCI: struct device - replace bus_id with dev_name(), dev_set_name()Kay Sievers1-1/+1
This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device". To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev) must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the name the registered device should have. At registration time, the init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to access the device name at a later time. We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch, and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id.

This converts X86 and IA64 to use include/linux/dma-mapping.h. It's a bit large but pretty boring. The major change for X86 is converting 'int dir' to 'enum dma_data_direction dir' in DMA mapping operations. The major changes for IA64 is using map_page and unmap_page instead of map_single and unmap_single.

2008-07-26dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error()FUJITA Tomonori1-11/+16
Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER architecture does: This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423). I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated. A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before. If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate dma_mapping_ops per device. The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different dma_mapping_error functions. The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in all the architecture. This patch: dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device argument.

2008-06-10x86, pci-dma.c: don't always add __GFP_NORETRY to gfpMiquel van Smoorenburg1-3/+10
Currently arch/x86/kernel/pci-dma.c always adds __GFP_NORETRY to the allocation flags, because it wants to be reasonably sure not to deadlock when calling alloc_pages(). But really that should only be done in two cases: - when allocating memory in the lower 16 MB DMA zone. If there's no free memory there, waiting or OOM killing is of no use - when optimistically trying an allocation in the DMA32 zone when dma_mask < DMA_32BIT_MASK hoping that the allocation happens to fall within the limits of the dma_mask Also blindly adding __GFP_NORETRY to the the gfp variable might not be a good idea since we then also use it when calling dma_ops->alloc_coherent(). Clearing it might also not be a good idea, dma_alloc_coherent()'s caller might have set it on purpose. The gfp variable should not be clobbered.
