Normal boot path on system with iommu support: swiotlb buffer will be allocated early at first and then try to initialize iommu, if iommu for intel or AMD could setup properly, swiotlb buffer will be freed. The early allocating is with bootmem, and could panic when we try to use kdump with buffer above 4G only, or with memmap to limit mem under 4G. for example: memmap=4095M$1M to remove memory

Hi Konrad, The following patch causes fairly large packet loss when transmitting from dom0 to the physical network, at least with my tg3 hardware, but I assume it can impact anything which uses this interface. I suspect that the issue is that the compound pages allocated in this way are not backed by contiguous mfns and so things fall apart when the driver tries to do DMA. However I

On arm64 the dma_map_ops implementation is based on the swiotlb. swiotlb-xen, used by default in dom0 on Xen, is also based on the swiotlb. Avoid calling into the default arm64 dma_map_ops functions from xen_dma_map_page, xen_dma_unmap_page, xen_dma_sync_single_for_cpu, and xen_dma_sync_single_for_device otherwise we end up calling into the swiotlb twice. When arm64 gets a non-swiotlb based

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

The linux-2.6-xen tree has a typo in the Kconfig file for i386 that disables building swiotlb. This patch fixes it in the same manner that x86-64 does it.

I just found out that setting swiotlb=128 in dom0 grub.conf allowed me to run my mythtv domU with additonal options to ivtv: in /etc/modprobe.d/options options ivtv enc_mpg_buffers=8 Setting this to any higher value causes a kernel panic. I want to be able to specify options ivtv enc_mpg_buffers=16 enc_vbi_buffers=8 How much swiotlb do I need? Is there a way to figure this out or is it just

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

While writing a driver for a device doing lots of DMA I''ve hit an "swiotlb_full()" problem. This surprised me somewhat as I wouldn''t have expected to need the use of the software TLB - it''s a 64 bit capable device on a server with only 2 GB of RAM, and so I''d have expected to be using a hardware TLB. Is this a peculiarity of Xen, or should I be right

Hello, I've noticed firefox got randomly stuck, and as sometimes that leads to a complete system lock-up, I've checked dmesg and got this: [Jan29 10:49] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: swiotlb buffer is full (sz: 2097152 bytes) [ +0.000033] swiotlb: coherent allocation failed for device 0000:01:00.0 size=2097152 [ +0.000004] CPU: 6 PID: 1023 Comm: Xorg Not tainted 4.15.0-rc8 #1 [ +0.000003]
