Subject: [PATCH v4 22/26] dt-bindings: document stall property for IOMMU masters
Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2020 19:23:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200224182401.353359-23-jean-philippe@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200224182401.353359-1-jean-philippe@linaro.org>
From: Jean-Philippe Brucker <jean-philippe.brucker@arm.com>
On ARM systems, some platform devices behind an IOMMU may support stall,
which is the ability to recover from page faults. Let the firmware tell us
when a device supports stall.

+- dma-can-stall: When present, the master can wait for a transaction to
+ complete for an indefinite amount of time. Upon translation fault some
+ IOMMUs, instead of aborting the translation immediately, may first
+ notify the driver and keep the transaction in flight. This allows the OS
+ to inspect the fault and, for example, make physical pages resident
+ before updating the mappings and completing the transaction. Such IOMMU
+ accepts a limited number of simultaneous stalled transactions before
+ having to either put back-pressure on the master, or abort new faulting
+ transactions.
+
+ Firmware has to opt-in stalling, because most buses and masters don't
+ support it. In particular it isn't compatible with PCI, where
+ transactions have to complete before a time limit. More generally it
+ won't work in systems and masters that haven't been designed for
+ stalling. For example the OS, in order to handle a stalled transaction,
+ may attempt to retrieve pages from secondary storage in a stalled
+ domain, leading to a deadlock.
