In the case of a DMA bounce buffer, # that is a no-op. # # Note how it's not a sync for the CPU (the "for_device()" part), and it's # not a sync for data written by the CPU (the "DMA_FROM_DEVICE" part). # # Or rather, it _should_ be a no-op. That's what commit aa6f8dcbab47 # broke: it made the code bounce the buffer unconditionally, and changed # the DMA_FROM_DEVICE to just unconditionally and illogically be # DMA_TO_DEVICE. # # [ Side note: purely within the confines of the swiotlb driver it wasn't # entirely illogical: The reason it did that odd DMA_FROM_DEVICE -> # DMA_TO_DEVICE conversion thing is because inside the swiotlb driver, # it uses just a swiotlb_bounce() helper that doesn't care about the # whole distinction of who the sync is for - only which direction to # bounce. # # So it took the "sync for device" to mean that the CPU must have been # the one writing, and thought it meant DMA_TO_DEVICE. ] # # Also note how the commentary in that commit was wrong, probably due to # that whole confusion, claiming that the commit makes the swiotlb code # # "bounce unconditionally (that is, also # when dir == DMA_TO_DEVICE) in order do avoid synchronising back stale # data from the swiotlb buffer" # # which is nonsensical for two reasons: # # - that "also when dir == DMA_TO_DEVICE" is nonsensical, as that was # exactly when it always did - and should do - the bounce. # # - since this is a sync for the device (not for the CPU), we're clearly # fundamentally not coping back stale data from the bounce buffers at # all, because we'd be copying to the bounce buffers. # # So that commit was just very confused. It confused the direction of the # synchronization (to the device, not the cpu) with the direction of the # DMA (from the device). # # Reported-and-bisected-by: Oleksandr Natalenko <oleksandr@natalenko.name> # Reported-by: Olha Cherevyk <olha.cherevyk@gmail.com> # Cc: Halil Pasic <pasic@linux.ibm.com> # Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> # Cc: Kalle Valo <kvalo@kernel.org> # Cc: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@arm.com> # Cc: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@toke.dk> # Cc: Maxime Bizon <mbizon@freebox.fr> # Cc: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 bddac7c1e02ba47f0570e494c9289acea3062cc1 # < make -s -j 120 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_ppc64le_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- ppc64le_defconfig # < make -s -j 120 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_ppc64le_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- help # make -s -j 120 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_ppc64le_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 120 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_ppc64le_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_ppc64le_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 # Build took: 0:01:13.221821
