dma-mapping: always provide the dma_map_ops based implementation

2016-01-21T01:09:18+00:00

Move the generic implementation to  now that all
architectures support it and remove the HAVE_DMA_ATTR Kconfig symbol now
that everyone supports them.

Documentation: DMA API: Be more explicit that nents is always the same

2015-09-24T21:50:06+00:00

The nents argument to the DMA API functions operating on scatterlists is
always the same. The documentation used different argument names and the
matter was not mentioned in Documentation/DMA-API-HOWTO.txt at all. Fix
these.

PCI: Add pci_bus_addr_t

2015-05-29T22:21:45+00:00

David Ahern reported that d63e2e1f3df9 ("sparc/PCI: Clip bridge windows
to fit in upstream windows") fails to boot on sparc/T5-8:

  pci 0000:06:00.0: reg 0x184: can't handle BAR above 4GB (bus address 0x110204000)

The problem is that sparc64 assumed that dma_addr_t only needed to hold DMA
addresses, i.e., bus addresses returned via the DMA API (dma_map_single(),
etc.), while the PCI core assumed dma_addr_t could hold *any* bus address,
including raw BAR values.  On sparc64, all DMA addresses fit in 32 bits, so
dma_addr_t is a 32-bit type.  However, BAR values can be 64 bits wide, so
they don't fit in a dma_addr_t.  d63e2e1f3df9 added new checking that
tripped over this mismatch.

Add pci_bus_addr_t, which is wide enough to hold any PCI bus address,
including both raw BAR values and DMA addresses.  This will be 64 bits
on 64-bit platforms and on platforms with a 64-bit dma_addr_t.  Then
dma_addr_t only needs to be wide enough to hold addresses from the DMA API.

[bhelgaas: changelog, bugzilla, Kconfig to ensure pci_bus_addr_t is at
least as wide as dma_addr_t, documentation]

Documentation: correct parameter error for dma_mapping_error

2014-09-26T09:22:29+00:00

dma_mapping_error takes two parameters, but some of examples
in Documentation/DMA-API-HOWTO.txt just takes one. So correct
it.

DMA-API: Update dma_pool_create ()and dma_pool_alloc() descriptions

2014-05-26T23:28:28+00:00

Use "boundary" to be more descriptive than "alloc" in the dma_pool_create()
documentation.

Replace "SLAB_KERNEL" and "SLAB_ATOMIC" with the correct "GFP_KERNEL" and
"GFP_ATOMIC."

DMA-API: Clarify physical/bus address distinction

2014-05-20T22:54:21+00:00

The DMA-API documentation sometimes refers to "physical addresses" when it
really means "bus addresses."  Sometimes these are identical, but they may
be different if the bridge leading to the bus performs address translation.
Update the documentation to use "bus address" when appropriate.

Also, consistently capitalize "DMA", use parens with function names, use
dev_printk() in examples, and reword a few sections for clarity.

No functional change; documentation changes only.
