[PATCH] pci_dma_rw: return correct value instead of 0

[PATCH] pci_dma_rw: return correct value instead of 0

[Emanuele Giuseppe Esposito]

pci_dma_rw currently always returns 0, regardless
of the result of dma_memory_rw. Adjusted to return
the correct value.

I think it's a left over from when we used "void cpu_physical_memory_rw()".

I agree that it is better to return the dma_memory_rw() return value, but
at first look, no one seems to check the return value of pci_dma_rw(),
pci_dma_read(), andpci_dma_write().

Should we make them void?


Anyway, for this patch:

I noticed that nobody checks the return of those functions, but I think 
checking for possible error is always useful. I am using the edu device 
and clearly doing something wrong since with this fix I discovered that 
the pci_dma_read call returns nonzero.

Keeping the function as it is or void would make it harder to spot such 
errors in future.

Thank you,
Emanuele

I agree, I was just worried that no one checks the return value.

In general code (eg device models) that issues memory transactions
need to have a mechanism for finding out whether the transaction
succeeds. Traditionally QEMU didn't have the concept of a
transaction failing, but we have added it, starting with the
APIs at the bottom level (the address_space_* ones). We haven't
always plumbed the error-handling (or the memory-transaction
input, for that matter) through to some of these other APIs.
I think for consistency we should do that, and ideally we
should make all these APIs look the same as the base-level
address_space* ones, which would mean returning a MemTxError
rather than a bool.

We should also figure out why the dma_* functions exist at all:
they include some calls to dma_barrier(), but not all devices
do DMA with the dma_* functions, so we have an inconsistency
that should be sorted out...

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense to me.

I've never looked in detail, but I agree we should have more consistency.

Thanks for the details!

We also have the equivalent patch from Klaus Jensen back in 2019
which got reviewed at the time but seems to have gotten lost along the way:

Yes, I posted this a while back because I need that return value in the
emulated nvme device - so please don't make it void ;)

My patch was part of a series that has not gone in yet, but I can resend
seperately - or you can just apply the patch from Emanuele. It's no
biggie to me as long as the fix is there!
