[PATCH RFC 0/5] ARM: Raspberry Pi 4 DMA support

From: Nicolas Saenz Julienne
Date: Mon Oct 14 2019 - 14:31:50 EST


Hi all,
the Raspberry Pi 4 offers up to 4GB of memory, of which only the first
is DMA capable device wide. This forces us to use of bounce buffers,
which are currently not very well supported by ARM's custom DMA ops.
Among other things the current mechanism (see dmabounce.c) isn't
suitable for high memory. Instead of fixing it, this series introduces a
way of selecting dma-direct as the default DMA ops provider which allows
for the Raspberry Pi to make use of swiotlb.

Regards,
Nicolas

Nicolas Saenz Julienne (5):
dma/direct: turn ARCH_ZONE_DMA_BITS into a variable
ARM: introduce arm_dma_direct
ARM: let machines select dma-direct over arch's DMA implementation
dma/direct: check for overflows in ARM's dma_capable()
ARM: bcm2711: use dma-direct
