[PATCH 0/2] arm64: mm: Fix cache maintenance for non-coherent streaming DMA

[PATCH 0/2] arm64: mm: Fix cache maintenance for non-coherent streaming DMA

[Will Deacon]

Hi all,

This pair of patches follows-up on the discussion we had on linux-arch
earlier this week and addresses the reported problem for arm64 only.

Other architectures should be able to do something similar if they wish,
but this all came out of discussion and code inspection rather than a
concrete failure.

Cheers,

Will

[PATCH 1/2] arm64: mm: Don't invalidate FROM_DEVICE buffers at start of DMA transfer

[Will Deacon]

Invalidating the buffer memory in arch_sync_dma_for_device() for
FROM_DEVICE transfers

When using the streaming DMA API to map a buffer prior to inbound
non-coherent DMA (i.e. DMA_FROM_DEVICE), we invalidate any dirty CPU
cachelines so that they will not be written back during the transfer and
corrupt the buffer contents written by the DMA. This, however, poses two
potential problems:

  (1) If the DMA transfer does not write to every byte in the buffer,
      then the unwritten bytes will contain stale data once the transfer
      has completed.

  (2) If the buffer has a virtual alias in userspace, then stale data
      may be visible via this alias during the period between performing
      the cache invalidation and the DMA writes landing in memory.

Address both of these issues by cleaning (aka writing-back) the dirty
lines in arch_sync_dma_for_device(DMA_FROM_DEVICE) instead of discarding
them using invalidation.

[PATCH 2/2] arm64: mm: Remove assembly DMA cache maintenance wrappers

[Will Deacon]

Remove the __dma_{flush,map,unmap}_area assembly wrappers and call the
appropriate cache maintenance functions directly from the DMA mapping
callbacks.

Thanks, this looks so much nicer.  Is there any good reason why
the C prototypes for the assembly function take an unsigned long
instead of a void *, though?  It seems like all or almost all of
the callers have a pointer at hand an do silly casts for the assembly
code that could work perfectly fine with a pointer and length.

Applied to arm64 (for-next/fixes), thanks!
