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

Bjorn Helgaas77f2ea22014-04-30 11:20:53 -060081Many drivers need lots of small DMA-coherent memory regions for DMA

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,

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.

124GFP_ATOMIC to prevent blocking, or if it's permitted (not

John Keller175add12008-11-24 16:47:17 -0600188This API returns the mask that the platform requires to

Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700190is the minimum required to cover all of memory. Examining the

241 Further, contiguous kernel virtual space may not be contiguous as
242 physical memory. Since this API does not provide any scatter/gather
243 capability, it will fail if the user tries to map a non-physically
244 contiguous piece of memory. For this reason, memory to be mapped by
245 this API should be obtained from sources which guarantee it to be
246 physically contiguous (like kmalloc).
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700247
Mauro Carvalho Chehab03158a72017-05-14 07:27:52 -0300248 Further, the DMA address of the memory must be within the
249 dma_mask of the device (the dma_mask is a bit mask of the
250 addressable region for the device, i.e., if the DMA address of
251 the memory ANDed with the dma_mask is still equal to the DMA
252 address, then the device can perform DMA to the memory). To
253 ensure that the memory allocated by kmalloc is within the dma_mask,
254 the driver may specify various platform-dependent flags to restrict
255 the DMA address range of the allocation (e.g., on x86, GFP_DMA
256 guarantees to be within the first 16MB of available DMA addresses,
257 as required by ISA devices).
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700258
Mauro Carvalho Chehab03158a72017-05-14 07:27:52 -0300259 Note also that the above constraints on physical contiguity and
260 dma_mask may not apply if the platform has an IOMMU (a device which

Mauro Carvalho Chehab03158a72017-05-14 07:27:52 -0300267 Memory coherency operates at a granularity called the cache
268 line width. In order for memory mapped by this API to operate
269 correctly, the mapped region must begin exactly on a cache line
270 boundary and end exactly on one (to prevent two separately mapped
271 regions from sharing a single cache line). Since the cache line size
272 may not be known at compile time, the API will not enforce this
273 requirement. Therefore, it is recommended that driver writers who
274 don't take special care to determine the cache line size at run time
275 only map virtual regions that begin and end on page boundaries (which
276 are guaranteed also to be cache line boundaries).

Mauro Carvalho Chehab03158a72017-05-14 07:27:52 -0300278 DMA_TO_DEVICE synchronisation must be done after the last modification
279 of the memory region by the software and before it is handed off to
280 the device. Once this primitive is used, memory covered by this
281 primitive should be treated as read-only by the device. If the device
282 may write to it at any point, it should be DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL (see
283 below).
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700284
Mauro Carvalho Chehab03158a72017-05-14 07:27:52 -0300285 DMA_FROM_DEVICE synchronisation must be done before the driver
286 accesses data that may be changed by the device. This memory should
287 be treated as read-only by the driver. If the driver needs to write
288 to it at any point, it should be DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL (see below).
289
290 DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL requires special handling: it means that the driver
291 isn't sure if the memory was modified before being handed off to the
292 device and also isn't sure if the device will also modify it. Thus,
293 you must always sync bidirectional memory twice: once before the

Mauro Carvalho Chehab03158a72017-05-14 07:27:52 -0300371With scatterlists, you use the resulting mapping like this::

378 hw_len[i] = sg_dma_len(sg);
379 }
380
381where nents is the number of entries in the sglist.
382
383The implementation is free to merge several consecutive sglist entries
384into one (e.g. with an IOMMU, or if several pages just happen to be
385physically contiguous) and returns the actual number of sg entries it
386mapped them to. On failure 0, is returned.
387
388Then you should loop count times (note: this can be less than nents times)

Bjorn Helgaas77f2ea22014-04-30 11:20:53 -0600620The DMA-API as described above has some constraints. DMA addresses must be
Joerg Roedel187f9c32009-01-09 16:28:07 +0100621released with the corresponding function with the same size for example. With
622the advent of hardware IOMMUs it becomes more and more important that drivers
623do not violate those constraints. In the worst case such a violation can
624result in data corruption up to destroyed filesystems.
625
626To debug drivers and find bugs in the usage of the DMA-API checking code can
627be compiled into the kernel which will tell the developer about those
628violations. If your architecture supports it you can select the "Enable
629debugging of DMA-API usage" option in your kernel configuration. Enabling this
630option has a performance impact. Do not enable it in production kernels.
631
632If you boot the resulting kernel will contain code which does some bookkeeping
633about what DMA memory was allocated for which device. If this code detects an
634error it prints a warning message with some details into your kernel log. An

667The driver developer can find the driver and the device including a stacktrace
668of the DMA-API call which caused this warning.
669
670Per default only the first error will result in a warning message. All other
671errors will only silently counted. This limitation exist to prevent the code
672from flooding your kernel log. To support debugging a device driver this can
673be disabled via debugfs. See the debugfs interface documentation below for
674details.
675
676The debugfs directory for the DMA-API debugging code is called dma-api/. In
677this directory the following files can currently be found:

719 all errors again.

Joerg Roedel187f9c32009-01-09 16:28:07 +0100722If you have this code compiled into your kernel it will be enabled by default.
723If you want to boot without the bookkeeping anyway you can provide
724'dma_debug=off' as a boot parameter. This will disable DMA-API debugging.
725Notice that you can not enable it again at runtime. You have to reboot to do
726so.
727
Joerg Roedel016ea682009-05-22 21:57:23 +0200728If you want to see debug messages only for a special device driver you can
729specify the dma_debug_driver=<drivername> parameter. This will enable the
730driver filter at boot time. The debug code will only print errors for that
731driver afterwards. This filter can be disabled or changed later using debugfs.
732
Joerg Roedel187f9c32009-01-09 16:28:07 +0100733When the code disables itself at runtime this is most likely because it ran
Robin Murphy2b9d9ac2018-12-10 14:00:29 +0000734out of dma_debug_entries and was unable to allocate more on-demand. 65536
735entries are preallocated at boot - if this is too low for you boot with
Robin Murphyad78dee2018-12-10 14:00:33 +0000736'dma_debug_entries=<your_desired_number>' to overwrite the default. Note
737that the code allocates entries in batches, so the exact number of
738preallocated entries may be greater than the actual number requested. The
Robin Murphyceb51172018-12-10 14:00:30 +0000739code will print to the kernel log each time it has dynamically allocated
740as many entries as were initially preallocated. This is to indicate that a
741larger preallocation size may be appropriate, or if it happens continually
742that a driver may be leaking mappings.

749dma-debug interface debug_dma_mapping_error() to debug drivers that fail
Bjorn Helgaas77f2ea22014-04-30 11:20:53 -0600750to check DMA mapping errors on addresses returned by dma_map_single() and
Shuah Khan6c9c6d62012-10-08 11:08:06 -0600751dma_map_page() interfaces. This interface clears a flag set by
752debug_dma_map_page() to indicate that dma_mapping_error() has been called by
753the driver. When driver does unmap, debug_dma_unmap() checks the flag and if
754this flag is still set, prints warning message that includes call trace that
755leads up to the unmap. This interface can be called from dma_mapping_error()
