[RFC PATCH] Avoid aliasing mappings in DMA coherent allocator

Russell King - ARM Linux linux at arm.linux.org.uk
Fri Dec 24 06:24:13 EST 2010


Avoid multiple mappings with DMA coherent/writecombine allocator by pre-
allocating the mappings, and removing that memory from the system memory
mapping.  (See previous discussions on linux-arm-kernel as to why this
is bad.)

NB1: By default, we preallocate 2MB for DMA coherent, and 2MB for write
combine memory, rather than 1MB for each in case 1MB is not sufficient
for existing platform usage.  Platforms have the option of shrinking
this down to 1MB DMA / 1MB WC (or even 2MB DMA / 0MB WC) if they so wish.
The DMA memory must be a multiple of 1MB, the write combine memory must
also be a multiple of 1MB, and the two together must be a multiple of
2MB.

NB2: On ARMv6/7 where we use 'normal uncacheable' memory for both DMA
and WC, the two pools are combined into one, as was the case with the
previous implementation.

The down side to this change is that the memory is permanently set aside
for DMA purposes, but I believe that to be unavoidable if we are to
avoid the possibility of the cache getting in the way on VIPT CPUs.

This removes the last known offender (at this time) from the kernel.
