lo,

aic7xxx driver mmio / dma on x86_64 linux broken here.

i need some comments and further investigation advice on this:

i agree for this to be a 32bit dma busmaster chip, since
pci_resource_flags and lspci say 64bit mem resource type

aic7xxx: pci_resource_start 0xffffff000 mem64 0x4 -----------------------------------------------^

just to doublecheck the situation, posted lspci already.

will check next, if len = pci_resource_len(ahc->dev_softc, 1); if
(start != 0) { *bus_addr = start; // if
(request_mem_region(start, 0x1000, "aic7xxx") == 0) if
(request_mem_region(start, len, "aic7xxx") == 0)

succeeds.

no. so the pci layer reports wrong start:

start = pci_resource_start(ahc->dev_softc, 1); len =
pci_resource_len(ahc->dev_softc, 1); if (start != 0) { *bus_addr =
start; // if (request_mem_region(start, 0x1000,
"aic7xxx") == 0) if (request_mem_region(start, len, "aic7xxx") == 0) error = ENOMEM; printk(KERN_WARNING "aic7xxx: req_mem_region 0x%x
memlen 0x%lx \n", error, len ); //schorpp

we've a bug in the x86_64 linux pci config, BIOS is ok, the
hardware worked fine in a winxp_x64 test setup a few months
ago.

will ask LKML.

sorry, wrong according to
http://download.adaptec.com/pdfs/aic7892.pdf.

"66 MHz, 64-bit, PCI interface that supports zero wait-state
memory; also operates on 33 MHz, 32-bit PCI busses"

this chip is capable of 64bit addressing, as pci_resource_nnnn
(checking this) on x86_64 platform and lspci on x86_64 *and*
AMDK7 configured kernels reports, even on PCI/32, right? or is
it impossible to do multiplexed 64bit mem addressing on PCI/32?


It can only do 37 bit addressing ... only the aic79xx can do the
full 64 bits, so I suspect it should never get a 64 bit BAR,
since it wouldn't be able to decode the full 32 bits. I can fix
the mmio check not to hang, but the card won't actually work mmio
until whatever's assigning the BAR above 32 bits is fixed (that
could either be a kernel PCI bug or a BIOS bug).


ok, i trust in that. adaptor bios and mainboard bios *are* out,
winxp_x64 driver handled all. so agree on kernel pci hal issue. but
what for const uint64_t mask_39bit = 0x7FFFFFFFFFULL; then?


can adaptec.inc pls comment? since the aha19160 card is still
in production state, i assume they want to have a linux x86_64
dma capable driver. so far it is not, or can other users having
this card pls confirm my pci system broken?
