refactor 32-bit dma limit quirks

refactor 32-bit dma limit quirks

[Christoph Hellwig]

Hi all,

x86 currently has some quirks to force lower dma masks.  They are mostly
useful for certain VIA systems that otherwise corrupt data, but otherwise
don't make much sense given that the modern DMA APIs do the right thing
automatically.

This series dumps a few of these old kernel command lines (including their
not really working version on ia64), and moves the VIA quirk to a flag
in struct device so that it can be apply generically.  This will be needed
to support Xylinx root ports with a similar issue that show up in common
RISC-V boards.

[PATCH 1/7] core, dma-direct: add a flag 32-bit dma limits

[Christoph Hellwig]

Various PCI bridges (VIA PCI, Xilinx PCIe) limit DMA to only 32-bits
even if the device itself supports more.  Add a single bit flag to
struct device (to be moved into the dma extension once we around it)
to flag such devices and reject larger DMA to them.

[PATCH 3/7] ia64: remove iommu_dma_supported

[Christoph Hellwig]

The generic dma_direct_supported helper already used by intel-iommu on
x86 does a better job than the ia64 reimplementation.

[PATCH 5/7] x86: remove the experimental forcesac boot option

[Christoph Hellwig]

Limiting the dma mask to avoid PCI (pre-PCIe) DAC cycles while paying
the huge overhead of an IOMMU is rather pointless, and this seriously
gets in the way of dma mapping work.

[PATCH 6/7] x86: remove the explicit nodac and allowdac option

[Christoph Hellwig]

This is something drivers should decide (modulo chipset quirks like
for VIA), which as far as I can tell is how things have been handled
for the last 15 years.

Note that we keep the usedac option for now, as it is used in the wild
to override the too generic VIA quirk.

[PATCH 7/7] x86: switch the VIA 32-bit DMA quirk to use the struct device flag

[Christoph Hellwig]

Instead of globally disabling > 32bit DMA using the arch_dma_supported
hook walk the PCI bus under the actually affected bridge and mark every
device with the dma_32bit_limit flag.  This also gets rid of the
arch_dma_supported hook entirely.

Should be "once we get around it", which in proper grammar should
probably be "once we get to it".  Anyway, the point is that right
now struct device is bloated with a lot of fields for dma/iommu
purposes and we need to clean this up.  It's been on my TODO list
for a while.

Ah, makes sense, that's fine with me, I'd love to see that get cleaned
up.

Shouldn't this go before the other two?

They remove the commandline switch before having the replacement in place
unless I'm misreading something.

Which other two?  The boot optional removal patches?  They just remove
the visible interface, but keep the implementation which is converted
to the better mechanism here, so I think the order makes sense.
But I might be missing something..

The command line switch to force 32-bit dma is removed without
replacement.   The PCI quirk for force the 32-bit dma for VIA bridges
is kept in place, and switch to a different mechanism in this patch.

Just take them through your tree. There is nothing conflicting in tip.

Thanks.  Do you want me to repost them for the x86 tree, or should
just pull the changes with the commit logs fixed to the dma-mapping
