From 5ac6da669e2476dbdac89b357b05b5a79bc5b657 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2007 01:43:14 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for arches with GENERIC_ISA_DMA As Andi pointed out: CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA only disables the ISA DMA channel management. Other functionality may still expect GFP_DMA to provide memory below 16M. So we need to make sure that CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is set independent of CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA. Undo the modifications to mm/Kconfig where we made ZONE_DMA dependent on GENERIC_ISA_DMA and set theses explicitly in each arches Kconfig. Reviews must occur for each arch in order to determine if ZONE_DMA can be switched off. It can only be switched off if we know that all devices supported by a platform are capable of performing DMA transfers to all of memory (Some arches already support this: uml, avr32, sh sh64, parisc and IA64/Altix). In order to switch ZONE_DMA off conditionally, one would have to establish a scheme by which one can assure that no drivers are enabled that are only capable of doing I/O to a part of memory, or one needs to provide an alternate means of performing an allocation from a specific range of memory (like provided by alloc_pages_range()) and insure that all drivers use that call. In that case the arches alloc_dma_coherent() may need to be modified to call alloc_pages_range() instead of relying on GFP_DMA.

It also makes the locking much more obvious and no longer relying on the truncate logic black magic for protecting against races between unmap_mapping_range() and new pages faulted in. It does so by switching to a nopfn() handler and using the new vm_insert_pfn() to setup the PTEs itself while holding a lock on the SPE. The nice thing is that this patch actually removes a lot more code than it adds :-) Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras --- arch/powerpc/Kconfig | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'arch/powerpc/Kconfig') diff --git a/arch/powerpc/Kconfig b/arch/powerpc/Kconfig index 0088c5ebca7..340d9beab6d 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/Kconfig +++ b/arch/powerpc/Kconfig @@ -876,7 +876,7 @@ config ARCH_SPARSEMEM_ENABLE config ARCH_SPARSEMEM_DEFAULT def_bool y - depends on (SMP && PPC_PSERIES) || PPC_CELL + depends on (SMP && PPC_PSERIES) || PPC_PS3 config ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP def_bool y -- cgit v1.2.3
