7This document describes the DMA API. For a more gentle introduction
Mauro Carvalho Chehab985098a2020-06-23 09:09:10 +02008of the API (and actual examples), see :doc:`/core-api/dma-api-howto`.

Bjorn Helgaas77f2ea22014-04-30 11:20:53 -060010This API is split into two pieces. Part I describes the basic API.
11Part II describes extensions for supporting non-consistent memory
12machines. Unless you know that your driver absolutely has to support
13non-consistent platforms (this is usually only legacy platforms) you
14should only use the API described in part I.

Yinghai Lu3a9ad0b2015-05-27 17:23:51 -070022A dma_addr_t can hold any valid DMA address for the platform. It can be
23given to a device to use as a DMA source or target. A CPU cannot reference
24a dma_addr_t directly because there may be translation between its physical
25address space and the DMA address space.

36Consistent memory is memory for which a write by either the device or
37the processor can immediately be read by the processor or device
David Brownell21440d32006-04-01 10:21:52 -080038without having to worry about caching effects. (You may however need
39to make sure to flush the processor's write buffers before telling
40devices to read that memory.)
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070041
42This routine allocates a region of <size> bytes of consistent memory.

Bjorn Helgaas77f2ea22014-04-30 11:20:53 -060044It returns a pointer to the allocated region (in the processor's virtual
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070045address space) or NULL if the allocation failed.
46
Bjorn Helgaas77f2ea22014-04-30 11:20:53 -060047It also returns a <dma_handle> which may be cast to an unsigned integer the
Yinghai Lu3a9ad0b2015-05-27 17:23:51 -070048same width as the bus and given to the device as the DMA address base of

50
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070051Note: consistent memory can be expensive on some platforms, and the
52minimum allocation length may be as big as a page, so you should
53consolidate your requests for consistent memory as much as possible.
54The simplest way to do that is to use the dma_pool calls (see below).
55
Bjorn Helgaas77f2ea22014-04-30 11:20:53 -060056The flag parameter (dma_alloc_coherent() only) allows the caller to
Mauro Carvalho Chehab03158a72017-05-14 07:27:52 -030057specify the ``GFP_`` flags (see kmalloc()) for the allocation (the

Bjorn Helgaas77f2ea22014-04-30 11:20:53 -060081Many drivers need lots of small DMA-coherent memory regions for DMA
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070082descriptors or I/O buffers. Rather than allocating in units of a page
83or more using dma_alloc_coherent(), you can use DMA pools. These work
Bjorn Helgaas77f2ea22014-04-30 11:20:53 -060084much like a struct kmem_cache, except that they use the DMA-coherent allocator,

97can sleep.
98
Christoph Lametere18b8902006-12-06 20:33:20 -080099The "name" is for diagnostics (like a struct kmem_cache name); dev and size
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700100are like what you'd pass to dma_alloc_coherent(). The device's hardware
101alignment requirement for this type of data is "align" (which is expressed
102in bytes, and must be a power of two). If your device has no boundary
103crossing restrictions, pass 0 for alloc; passing 4096 says memory allocated
104from this pool must not cross 4KByte boundaries.

123size and alignment requirements specified at creation time. Pass
124GFP_ATOMIC to prevent blocking, or if it's permitted (not

249 Further, contiguous kernel virtual space may not be contiguous as
250 physical memory. Since this API does not provide any scatter/gather
251 capability, it will fail if the user tries to map a non-physically
252 contiguous piece of memory. For this reason, memory to be mapped by
253 this API should be obtained from sources which guarantee it to be
254 physically contiguous (like kmalloc).

Mauro Carvalho Chehab03158a72017-05-14 07:27:52 -0300256 Further, the DMA address of the memory must be within the
257 dma_mask of the device (the dma_mask is a bit mask of the
258 addressable region for the device, i.e., if the DMA address of
259 the memory ANDed with the dma_mask is still equal to the DMA
260 address, then the device can perform DMA to the memory). To
261 ensure that the memory allocated by kmalloc is within the dma_mask,
262 the driver may specify various platform-dependent flags to restrict
263 the DMA address range of the allocation (e.g., on x86, GFP_DMA
264 guarantees to be within the first 16MB of available DMA addresses,
265 as required by ISA devices).

Mauro Carvalho Chehab03158a72017-05-14 07:27:52 -0300275 Memory coherency operates at a granularity called the cache
276 line width. In order for memory mapped by this API to operate
277 correctly, the mapped region must begin exactly on a cache line
278 boundary and end exactly on one (to prevent two separately mapped
279 regions from sharing a single cache line). Since the cache line size
280 may not be known at compile time, the API will not enforce this
281 requirement. Therefore, it is recommended that driver writers who
282 don't take special care to determine the cache line size at run time
283 only map virtual regions that begin and end on page boundaries (which
284 are guaranteed also to be cache line boundaries).

287 of the memory region by the software and before it is handed off to
288 the device. Once this primitive is used, memory covered by this

295 be treated as read-only by the driver. If the driver needs to write
296 to it at any point, it should be DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL (see below).
297
298 DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL requires special handling: it means that the driver
299 isn't sure if the memory was modified before being handed off to the
300 device and also isn't sure if the device will also modify it. Thus,
301 you must always sync bidirectional memory twice: once before the
302 memory is handed off to the device (to make sure all memory changes
303 are flushed from the processor) and once before the data may be
304 accessed after being used by the device (to make sure any processor
305 cache lines are updated with data that the device may have changed).

378
Mauro Carvalho Chehab03158a72017-05-14 07:27:52 -0300379With scatterlists, you use the resulting mapping like this::

386 hw_len[i] = sg_dma_len(sg);
387 }
388
389where nents is the number of entries in the sglist.
390
391The implementation is free to merge several consecutive sglist entries
392into one (e.g. with an IOMMU, or if several pages just happen to be
393physically contiguous) and returns the actual number of sg entries it
394mapped them to. On failure 0, is returned.
395
396Then you should loop count times (note: this can be less than nents times)
397and use sg_dma_address() and sg_dma_len() macros where you previously
398accessed sg->address and sg->length as shown above.

Bjorn Helgaas77f2ea22014-04-30 11:20:53 -0600627The DMA-API as described above has some constraints. DMA addresses must be
Joerg Roedel187f9c32009-01-09 16:28:07 +0100628released with the corresponding function with the same size for example. With
629the advent of hardware IOMMUs it becomes more and more important that drivers
630do not violate those constraints. In the worst case such a violation can
631result in data corruption up to destroyed filesystems.
632
633To debug drivers and find bugs in the usage of the DMA-API checking code can
634be compiled into the kernel which will tell the developer about those
635violations. If your architecture supports it you can select the "Enable
636debugging of DMA-API usage" option in your kernel configuration. Enabling this
637option has a performance impact. Do not enable it in production kernels.
638
639If you boot the resulting kernel will contain code which does some bookkeeping
640about what DMA memory was allocated for which device. If this code detects an
641error it prints a warning message with some details into your kernel log. An

674The driver developer can find the driver and the device including a stacktrace
675of the DMA-API call which caused this warning.
676
677Per default only the first error will result in a warning message. All other
678errors will only silently counted. This limitation exist to prevent the code
679from flooding your kernel log. To support debugging a device driver this can
680be disabled via debugfs. See the debugfs interface documentation below for
681details.
682
683The debugfs directory for the DMA-API debugging code is called dma-api/. In
684this directory the following files can currently be found:

Matt LaPlante19f59462009-04-27 15:06:31 +0200690 into the kernel log. Be careful with this
691 option, as it can easily flood your logs.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab03158a72017-05-14 07:27:52 -0300704dma-api/num_errors The number in this file shows how many
Joerg Roedel187f9c32009-01-09 16:28:07 +0100705 warnings will be printed to the kernel log

Joerg Roedel187f9c32009-01-09 16:28:07 +0100711 minimum number of free dma_debug_entries the
712 allocator has ever seen. If this value goes
Robin Murphy2b9d9ac2018-12-10 14:00:29 +0000713 down to zero the code will attempt to increase

Corentin Labbe31f43332019-01-18 13:38:22 +0000722dma-api/driver_filter You can write a name of a driver into this file
Joerg Roedel016ea682009-05-22 21:57:23 +0200723 to limit the debug output to requests from that
724 particular driver. Write an empty string to
725 that file to disable the filter and see
726 all errors again.

Joerg Roedel187f9c32009-01-09 16:28:07 +0100729If you have this code compiled into your kernel it will be enabled by default.
730If you want to boot without the bookkeeping anyway you can provide
731'dma_debug=off' as a boot parameter. This will disable DMA-API debugging.
732Notice that you can not enable it again at runtime. You have to reboot to do
733so.
734
Joerg Roedel016ea682009-05-22 21:57:23 +0200735If you want to see debug messages only for a special device driver you can
736specify the dma_debug_driver=<drivername> parameter. This will enable the
737driver filter at boot time. The debug code will only print errors for that
738driver afterwards. This filter can be disabled or changed later using debugfs.
739
Joerg Roedel187f9c32009-01-09 16:28:07 +0100740When the code disables itself at runtime this is most likely because it ran
Robin Murphy2b9d9ac2018-12-10 14:00:29 +0000741out of dma_debug_entries and was unable to allocate more on-demand. 65536
742entries are preallocated at boot - if this is too low for you boot with
Robin Murphyad78dee2018-12-10 14:00:33 +0000743'dma_debug_entries=<your_desired_number>' to overwrite the default. Note
744that the code allocates entries in batches, so the exact number of
745preallocated entries may be greater than the actual number requested. The
Robin Murphyceb51172018-12-10 14:00:30 +0000746code will print to the kernel log each time it has dynamically allocated
747as many entries as were initially preallocated. This is to indicate that a
748larger preallocation size may be appropriate, or if it happens continually
749that a driver may be leaking mappings.

756dma-debug interface debug_dma_mapping_error() to debug drivers that fail
Bjorn Helgaas77f2ea22014-04-30 11:20:53 -0600757to check DMA mapping errors on addresses returned by dma_map_single() and
Shuah Khan6c9c6d62012-10-08 11:08:06 -0600758dma_map_page() interfaces. This interface clears a flag set by
759debug_dma_map_page() to indicate that dma_mapping_error() has been called by
760the driver. When driver does unmap, debug_dma_unmap() checks the flag and if
761this flag is still set, prints warning message that includes call trace that
762leads up to the unmap. This interface can be called from dma_mapping_error()
