[RFC PATCH] xen/gntdev: Stop abusing DT of_dma_configure API

[Rob Herring]

As the comment says, this isn't a DT based device. of_dma_configure()
is going to stop allowing a NULL DT node, so this needs to be fixed.

Not sure exactly what setup besides arch_setup_dma_ops is needed...

And this can't work on arch not selecting CONFIG_OF and can select 
CONFIG_XEN_GRANT_DMA_ALLOC.

We are lucky enough on x86 because, AFAICT, arch_setup_dma_ops is just a 
nop.

We probably want to update dma_mask, coherent_dma_mask and dma_pfn_offset.

Also, while look at of_configure_dma, I noticed that we consider the DMA 
will not be coherent for the grant-table. Oleksandr, do you know why 
they can't be coherent?

The main and the only reason to use of_configure_dma is that if we don't 
then we
are about to stay with dma_dummy_ops [2]. It effectively means that 
operations on dma-bufs
will end up returning errors, like [3], [4], thus not making it possible 
for Xen PV DRM and DMA
part of gntdev driver to do what we need (dma-bufs in our use-cases 
allow zero-copying
while using graphics buffers and many more).

I didn't find any better way of achieving that, but of_configure_dma...
If there is any better solution which will not break the existing 
functionality then
I will definitely change the drivers so we do not abuse DT )
Before that, please keep in mind that merging this RFC will break Xen PV 
DRM +
DMA buf support in gntdev...
Hope we can work out some acceptable solution, so everyone is happy

As I mentioned elsewhere, the recent dma-direct rework means that 
dma_dummy_ops are now only explicitly installed for the ACPI error case, 
so - much as I may dislike it - you should get regular (direct/SWIOTLB) 
ops by default again.

Coherency is trickier - if the guest is allocating buffers for the PV 
device, which may be shared directly with hardware by the host driver, 
then the coherency of the PV device should really reflect that of the 
underlying hardware to avoid potential problems. There are some cases 
where the stage 2 attributes alone wouldn't be enough to correct a mismatch.

Ah, my bad, I missed that change. So, if no dummy dma ops are to be used 
then
I believe we can apply both changes, e.g. remove of_dma_configure from 
both of the drivers.

Ah, my bad, I missed that change. So, if no dummy dma ops are to be used 
then
I believe we can apply both changes, e.g. remove of_dma_configure from 
both of the drivers.

What about the dma masks? I think there's a default setup, but it is
considered a driver bug to not set its mask. xen_drm_front sets the
coherent_dma_mask (why only 32-bits though?), but not the dma_mask.
gntdev is doing neither. I could copy out what of_dma_configure does
but better for the Xen folks to decide what is needed or not and test
the change. I'm not setup to test any of this.

FYI I have seen the issue Oleksandr is talking about too. I confirm that
the only reason for the of_configure_dma call is to get away from the
dummy_dma_ops and use the default dma_ops instead. I think this should
be mentioned in the commit message so that if one day the behavior
regarding dummy_dma_ops changes one more time, hopefully we'll be able
to figure out the issue more easily with bisection.

In regards to the coherent_dma_mask and dma_mask, I can't see why gntdev
would have any dma addressing limitations, so we should be able to set
both to 64 bits.  I also can't see why xen_drm_front would limit it to
32 bits, after all this is just the frontend, if anything it would be
the backend that has a limitation. So, we should be able to set both
dma_mask and coherent_dma_mask in xen_drm_front to 64 bits. Oleksandr,
can you confirm?

I am totally fine with 64-bits in both cases and
agree with what Stefano says.
