[POWERPC] Refactor 64 bits DMA operations

2006-12-04T09:38:40Z

This patch completely refactors DMA operations for 64 bits powerpc. 32 bits is untouched for now. We use the new dev_archdata structure to add the dma operations pointer and associated data to struct device. While at it, we also add the OF node pointer and numa node. In the future, we might want to look into merging that with pci_dn as well. The old vio, pci-iommu and pci-direct DMA ops are gone. They are now replaced by a set of generic iommu and direct DMA ops (non PCI specific) that can be used by bus types. The toplevel implementation is now inline.

[POWERPC] Use 4kB iommu pages even on 64kB-page systems

2006-11-01T03:52:48Z

The 10Gigabit ethernet device drivers appear to be able to chew up all 256MB of TCE mappings on pSeries systems, as evidenced by numerous error messages: iommu_alloc failed, tbl c0000000010d5c48 vaddr c0000000d875eff0 npages 1 Some experimentation indicates that this is essentially because one 1500 byte ethernet MTU gets mapped as a 64K DMA region when the large 64K pages are enabled. Thus, it doesn't take much to exhaust all of the available DMA mappings for a high-speed card. This patch changes the iommu allocator to work with its own unique, distinct page size. Although the patch is long, its actually quite simple: it just #defines a distinct IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE and then uses this in all the places that matter. As a side effect, it also dramatically improves network performance on platforms with H-calls on iommu translation inserts/removes (since we no longer call it 16 times for a 1500 bytes packet when the iommu HW is still 4k). In the future, we might want to make the IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE a variable in the iommu_table instance, thus allowing support for different HW page sizes in the iommu itself.

[POWERPC] Constify & voidify get_property()

2006-07-31T05:55:04Z

Now that get_property() returns a void *, there's no need to cast its return value. Also, treat the return value as const, so we can constify get_property later. powerpc core changes. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[POWERPC] Add new interrupt mapping core and change platforms to use it

2006-07-03T11:36:01Z

This adds the new irq remapper core and removes the old one. Because there are some fundamental conflicts with the old code, like the value of NO_IRQ which I'm now setting to 0 (as per discussions with Linus), etc..., this commit also changes the relevant platform and driver code over to use the new remapper (so as not to cause difficulties later in bisecting). This patch removes the old pre-parsing of the open firmware interrupt tree along with all the bogus assumptions it made to try to renumber interrupts according to the platform. This is all to be handled by the new code now. For the pSeries XICS interrupt controller, a single remapper host is created for the whole machine regardless of how many interrupt presentation and source controllers are found, and it's set to match any device node that isn't a 8259. That works fine on pSeries and avoids having to deal with some of the complexities of split source controllers vs. presentation controllers in the pSeries device trees. The powerpc i8259 PIC driver now always requests the legacy interrupt range. It also has the feature of being able to match any device node (including NULL) if passed no device node as an input. That will help porting over platforms with broken device-trees like Pegasos who don't have a proper interrupt tree. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[POWERPC] node local IOMMU tables

[PATCH] powerpc: node-aware dma allocations

2006-06-09T11:24:01Z

Make sure dma_alloc_coherent allocates memory from the local node. This is important on Cell where we avoid going through the slow cpu interconnect. Note: I could only test this patch on Cell, it should be verified on some pseries machine by those that have the hardware. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[PATCH] powerpc: the iSeries vio lan driver changed device type

[PATCH] powerpc: pseries: Use generic dma-window parsing function

2006-05-19T05:02:23Z

Change the pseries iommu init code to use the new of_parse_dma_window() to parse the ibm,dma-window and ibm,my-dma-window properties of pci and virtual device nodes. Also, clean up vio_build_iommu_table() a little. Tested on pseries, with both vio and pci devices. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr Acked-by: Olof Johansson Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras
