Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Virtio ring works with DMA coherent memory
Date: Wed, 7 Dec 2016 22:59:11 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1481180353-11139-1-git-send-email-jliang@xilinx.com> (raw)

RPMsg uses dma_alloc_coherent() to allocate memory to shared with the remote.
In this case, as there is no pages setup in the dma_alloc_coherent(),
we cannot get the physical address back from the virtual address, and thus,
we can set the sg_dma_addr to store the DMA address and mark it already DMA
mapped.

When virtio vring sees the sg_dma_addr is ready set, do not call dma_map_page().

The issue was once discussed here:

Edgar E. Iglesias (1):
  rpmsg: DMA map sgs passed to virtio

Wendy Liang (1):
  virtio_ring: Do not call dma_map_page if sg is already mapped.
