2016-02-11ARM: 8506/1: common: DMA-mapping: add DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_SINGLE_PAGES attributeDoug Anderson
This patch adds the DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_SINGLE_PAGES attribute to the DMA-mapping subsystem. This attribute can be used as a hint to the DMA-mapping subsystem that it's likely not worth it to try to allocate large pages behind the scenes. Large pages are likely to make an IOMMU TLB work more efficiently but may not be worth it. See the Documentation contained in this patch for more details about this attribute and when to use it. Note that the name of the hint (DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_SINGLE_PAGES) is loosely based on the name MADV_NOHUGEPAGE. Just as there is MADV_NOHUGEPAGE vs. MADV_HUGEPAGE we could also add an "opposite" attribute to DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_SINGLE_PAGES. Without having the "opposite" attribute the lack of DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_SINGLE_PAGES means "use your best judgement about whether to use small pages or large pages".

Move the generic implementation to <linux/dma-mapping.h> now that all architectures support it and remove the HAVE_DMA_ATTR Kconfig symbol now that everyone supports them.

2012-11-29common: DMA-mapping: add DMA_ATTR_FORCE_CONTIGUOUS attributeMarek Szyprowski
This patch adds DMA_ATTR_FORCE_CONTIGUOUS attribute to the DMA-mapping subsystem. By default DMA-mapping subsystem is allowed to assemble the buffer allocated by dma_alloc_attrs() function from individual pages if it can be mapped as contiguous chunk into device dma address space. By specifing this attribute the allocated buffer is forced to be contiguous also in physical memory. Signed-off-by: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@samsung.com>
2012-07-30common: DMA-mapping: add DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC attributeMarek Szyprowski
This patch adds DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC attribute to the DMA-mapping subsystem. By default dma_map_{single,page,sg} functions family transfer a given buffer from CPU domain to device domain. Some advanced use cases might require sharing a buffer between more than one device. This requires having a mapping created separately for each device and is usually performed by calling dma_map_{single,page,sg} function more than once for the given buffer with device pointer to each device taking part in the buffer sharing. The first call transfers a buffer from 'CPU' domain to 'device' domain, what synchronizes CPU caches for the given region (usually it means that the cache has been flushed or invalidated depending on the dma direction). However, next calls to dma_map_{single,page,sg}() for other devices will perform exactly the same sychronization operation on the CPU cache. CPU cache sychronization might be a time consuming operation, especially if the buffers are large, so it is highly recommended to avoid it if possible. DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC allows platform code to skip synchronization of the CPU cache for the given buffer assuming that it has been already transferred to 'device' domain. This attribute can be also used for dma_unmap_{single,page,sg} functions family to force buffer to stay in device domain after releasing a mapping for it. Use this attribute with care!

2012-07-30common: DMA-mapping: add DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING attributeMarek Szyprowski
This patch adds DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING attribute which lets the platform to avoid creating a kernel virtual mapping for the allocated buffer. On some architectures creating such mapping is non-trivial task and consumes very limited resources (like kernel virtual address space or dma consistent address space). Buffers allocated with this attribute can be only passed to user space by calling dma_mmap_attrs().

DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT lets the platform to choose to return either consistent or non-consistent memory as it sees fit. By using this API, you are guaranteeing to the platform that you have all the correct and necessary sync points for this memory in the driver.

2008-07-22powerpc/cell: Add DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING dma attribute and use in Cell IOMMU ↵Mark Nelson
code Introduce a new dma attriblue DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING to use weak ordering on DMA mappings in the Cell processor. Add the code to the Cell's IOMMU implementation to use this code. Dynamic mappings can be weakly or strongly ordered on an individual basis but the fixed mapping has to be either completely strong or completely weak. This is currently decided by a kernel boot option (pass iommu_fixed=weak for a weakly ordered fixed linear mapping, strongly ordered is the default).

2008-04-29dma: add dma_*map*_attrs() interfacesArthur Kepner
Introduce new interfaces, dma_*map*_attrs(), for passing architecture-specific attributes when memory is mapped and unmapped for DMA. Give the interfaces default implementations which ignore attributes. Also introduce the dma_{set|get}_attr() interfaces for setting and retrieving individual attributes. Define one attribute, DMA_ATTR_WRITE_BARRIER, in anticipation of its use by ia64/sn. Select whether architectures implement arch-specific versions of the dma_*map*_attrs() interfaces via HAVE_DMA_ATTRS in Kconfig.
