Hi all, Here''s a work in progress series whcih does a partial revert of the previous swiotlb changes, and does a partial replacement with Becky Bruce''s series. The most important difference is Becky''s use of phys_addr_t rather than page+offset to represent arbitrary pages. This turns out to be simpler. I didn''t replicate the map_single_page changes, since

Hi all, this patch series enables xen-swiotlb on arm and arm64. It has been heavily reworked compared to the previous versions in order to achieve better performances and to address review comments. We are not using dma_mark_clean to ensure coherency anymore. We call the platform implementation of map_page and unmap_page. We assume that dom0 has been mapped 1:1 (physical address == machine

here is the 2nd version of providing an DMA API for s390. There are some attempts to unify the dma ops (Christoph) as well as some attempts to make virtio use the dma API (Andy). At kernel summit we concluded that we want to use the same code on all platforms, whereever possible, so having a dummy dma_op might be the easiest solution to keep virtio-ccw as similar as possible to

Andy, this is the next and hopefully last version. Seems to work fine when replacing the previous patches in your tree. I have some reviews/acks for patch 2 and 3. patch 1 still needs one ack. Can you replace the patches in your tree and carry them along with your changes? old introduction: ----- There are some attempts to unify the dma ops (Christoph) as well as some attempts to make virtio use

Hi all, this series replaced the DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT flag to dma_alloc_attrs with a separate new dma_alloc_pages API, which is available on all platforms. In addition to cleaning up the convoluted code path, this ensures that other drivers that have asked for better support for non-coherent DMA to pages with incurring bounce buffering over can finally be properly supported. I'm still a

This switches virtio to use the DMA API on Xen and if requested by module option. This fixes virtio on Xen, and it should break anything because it's off by default on everything except Xen PV on x86. To the Xen people: is this okay? If it doesn't work on other Xen variants (PVH? HVM?), can you submit follow-up patches to fix it? To everyone else: we've waffled on this for way too

This patchset converts the intel iommu driver to the dma-iommu api. While converting the driver I exposed a bug in the intel i915 driver which causes a huge amount of artifacts on the screen of my laptop. You can see a picture of it here: https://github.com/pippy360/kernelPatches/blob/master/IMG_20191219_225922.jpg This issue is most likely in the i915 driver and is most likely caused by the
