* ARM: dma-mapping: add support for IOMMU mapperMarek Szyprowski2012-05-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch add a complete implementation of DMA-mapping API for devices which have IOMMU support. This implementation tries to optimize dma address space usage by remapping all possible physical memory chunks into a single dma address space chunk. DMA address space is managed on top of the bitmap stored in the dma_iommu_mapping structure stored in device->archdata. Platform setup code has to initialize parameters of the dma address space (base address, size, allocation precision order) with arm_iommu_create_mapping() function. To reduce the size of the bitmap, all allocations are aligned to the specified order of base 4 KiB pages. dma_alloc_* functions allocate physical memory in chunks, each with alloc_pages() function to avoid failing if the physical memory gets fragmented. In worst case the allocated buffer is composed of 4 KiB page chunks. dma_map_sg() function minimizes the total number of dma address space chunks by merging of physical memory chunks into one larger dma address space chunk. If requested chunk (scatter list entry) boundaries match physical page boundaries, most calls to dma_map_sg() requests will result in creating only one chunk in dma address space. dma_map_page() simply creates a mapping for the given page(s) in the dma address space. All dma functions also perform required cache operation like their counterparts from the arm linear physical memory mapping version.

* ARM: add dma coherent region reporting via procfsRussell King2012-01-231-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new seqfile for reporting coherent DMA allocations. This contains the address range, size and the function which was used to allocate each region, allowing these allocations to be viewed in much the same way as /proc/vmallocinfo. The DMA coherent region has limited space, so this allows allocation failures to be viewed, as well as finding out how much space is being used. Make sure this file is only readable by root - same as vmallocinfo - to prevent information leakage.

* ARM: DMA coherent allocator: align remapped addressesRussell King2010-07-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The DMA coherent remap area is used to provide an uncached mapping of memory for coherency with DMA engines. Currently, we look for any free hole which our allocation will fit in with page alignment. However, this can lead to fragmentation of the area, and allows small allocations to cross L1 entry boundaries. This is undesirable as we want to move towards allocating sections of memory. Align allocations according to the size, limiting the alignment between the page and section sizes. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
