8 | This is a guide to device driver writers on how to use the DMA API |
9 | with example pseudo-code. For a concise description of the API, see | |

12 | CPU and DMA addresses |
13 | ||
14 | There are several kinds of addresses involved in the DMA API, and it's | |
15 | important to understand the differences. | |
16 | ||
17 | The kernel normally uses virtual addresses. Any address returned by | |
18 | kmalloc(), vmalloc(), and similar interfaces is a virtual address and can | |
19 | be stored in a "void *". | |
20 | ||
21 | The virtual memory system (TLB, page tables, etc.) translates virtual | |
22 | addresses to CPU physical addresses, which are stored as "phys_addr_t" or | |
23 | "resource_size_t". The kernel manages device resources like registers as | |
24 | physical addresses. These are the addresses in /proc/iomem. The physical | |
25 | address is not directly useful to a driver; it must use ioremap() to map | |
26 | the space and produce a virtual address. | |
27 | ||
3a9ad0b4 YL |
28 | I/O devices use a third kind of address: a "bus address". If a device has |
29 | registers at an MMIO address, or if it performs DMA to read or write system | |
30 | memory, the addresses used by the device are bus addresses. In some | |
31 | systems, bus addresses are identical to CPU physical addresses, but in | |
32 | general they are not. IOMMUs and host bridges can produce arbitrary | |
77f2ea2f BH |
33 | mappings between physical and bus addresses. |
34 | ||
3a9ad0b4 YL |
35 | From a device's point of view, DMA uses the bus address space, but it may |
36 | be restricted to a subset of that space. For example, even if a system | |
37 | supports 64-bit addresses for main memory and PCI BARs, it may use an IOMMU | |
38 | so devices only need to use 32-bit DMA addresses. | |
39 | ||
77f2ea2f BH |
40 | Here's a picture and some examples: |
41 | ||
42 | CPU CPU Bus | |
43 | Virtual Physical Address | |

45 | Space Space | |

59 | | | mapping | RAM | by IOMMU | |
60 | | | | | | |
61 | | | | | | |
62 | +-------+ +------+ | |
63 | ||
64 | During the enumeration process, the kernel learns about I/O devices and | |
65 | their MMIO space and the host bridges that connect them to the system. For | |
66 | example, if a PCI device has a BAR, the kernel reads the bus address (A) | |
67 | from the BAR and converts it to a CPU physical address (B). The address B | |
68 | is stored in a struct resource and usually exposed via /proc/iomem. When a | |
69 | driver claims a device, it typically uses ioremap() to map physical address | |
70 | B at a virtual address (C). It can then use, e.g., ioread32(C), to access | |
71 | the device registers at bus address A. | |
72 | ||
73 | If the device supports DMA, the driver sets up a buffer using kmalloc() or | |
74 | a similar interface, which returns a virtual address (X). The virtual | |
75 | memory system maps X to a physical address (Y) in system RAM. The driver | |
76 | can use virtual address X to access the buffer, but the device itself | |
77 | cannot because DMA doesn't go through the CPU virtual memory system. | |
78 | ||
79 | In some simple systems, the device can do DMA directly to physical address | |
3a9ad0b4 | 80 | Y. But in many others, there is IOMMU hardware that translates DMA |
77f2ea2f BH |
81 | addresses to physical addresses, e.g., it translates Z to Y. This is part |
82 | of the reason for the DMA API: the driver can give a virtual address X to | |
83 | an interface like dma_map_single(), which sets up any required IOMMU | |
3a9ad0b4 | 84 | mapping and returns the DMA address Z. The driver then tells the device to |
77f2ea2f BH |
85 | do DMA to Z, and the IOMMU maps it to the buffer at address Y in system |
86 | RAM. | |
1da177e4 LT |
87 | |
88 | So that Linux can use the dynamic DMA mapping, it needs some help from the | |
89 | drivers, namely it has to take into account that DMA addresses should be | |
90 | mapped only for the time they are actually used and unmapped after the DMA | |
91 | transfer. | |
92 | ||
93 | The following API will work of course even on platforms where no such | |
216bf58f FT |
94 | hardware exists. |
95 | ||
96 | Note that the DMA API works with any bus independent of the underlying | |
77f2ea2f BH |
97 | microprocessor architecture. You should use the DMA API rather than the |
98 | bus-specific DMA API, i.e., use the dma_map_*() interfaces rather than the | |
99 | pci_map_*() interfaces. | |
1da177e4 LT |
100 | |
101 | First of all, you should make sure | |
102 | ||
216bf58f | 103 | #include <linux/dma-mapping.h> |
1da177e4 | 104 | |
77f2ea2f | 105 | is in your driver, which provides the definition of dma_addr_t. This type |
3a9ad0b4 | 106 | can hold any valid DMA address for the platform and should be used |
77f2ea2f | 107 | everywhere you hold a DMA address returned from the DMA mapping functions. |
1da177e4 LT |
108 | |
109 | What memory is DMA'able? | |
110 | ||
111 | The first piece of information you must know is what kernel memory can | |
112 | be used with the DMA mapping facilities. There has been an unwritten | |
113 | set of rules regarding this, and this text is an attempt to finally | |
114 | write them down. | |
115 | ||
116 | If you acquired your memory via the page allocator | |
117 | (i.e. __get_free_page*()) or the generic memory allocators | |
118 | (i.e. kmalloc() or kmem_cache_alloc()) then you may DMA to/from | |
119 | that memory using the addresses returned from those routines. | |
120 | ||
121 | This means specifically that you may _not_ use the memory/addresses | |
122 | returned from vmalloc() for DMA. It is possible to DMA to the | |
123 | _underlying_ memory mapped into a vmalloc() area, but this requires | |
124 | walking page tables to get the physical addresses, and then | |
125 | translating each of those pages back to a kernel address using | |
126 | something like __va(). [ EDIT: Update this when we integrate | |
127 | Gerd Knorr's generic code which does this. ] | |
128 | ||
21440d31 DB |
129 | This rule also means that you may use neither kernel image addresses |
130 | (items in data/text/bss segments), nor module image addresses, nor | |
131 | stack addresses for DMA. These could all be mapped somewhere entirely | |
132 | different than the rest of physical memory. Even if those classes of | |
133 | memory could physically work with DMA, you'd need to ensure the I/O | |
134 | buffers were cacheline-aligned. Without that, you'd see cacheline | |
135 | sharing problems (data corruption) on CPUs with DMA-incoherent caches. | |
136 | (The CPU could write to one word, DMA would write to a different one | |
137 | in the same cache line, and one of them could be overwritten.) | |
1da177e4 LT |
138 | |
139 | Also, this means that you cannot take the return of a kmap() | |
140 | call and DMA to/from that. This is similar to vmalloc(). | |
141 | ||
142 | What about block I/O and networking buffers? The block I/O and | |
143 | networking subsystems make sure that the buffers they use are valid | |
144 | for you to DMA from/to. | |
145 | ||
146 | DMA addressing limitations | |
147 | ||
148 | Does your device have any DMA addressing limitations? For example, is | |
216bf58f FT |
149 | your device only capable of driving the low order 24-bits of address? |
150 | If so, you need to inform the kernel of this fact. | |
1da177e4 LT |
151 | |
152 | By default, the kernel assumes that your device can address the full | |
216bf58f FT |
153 | 32-bits. For a 64-bit capable device, this needs to be increased. |
154 | And for a device with limitations, as discussed in the previous | |
155 | paragraph, it needs to be decreased. | |
156 | ||
157 | Special note about PCI: PCI-X specification requires PCI-X devices to | |
158 | support 64-bit addressing (DAC) for all transactions. And at least | |
159 | one platform (SGI SN2) requires 64-bit consistent allocations to | |
160 | operate correctly when the IO bus is in PCI-X mode. | |
161 | ||
162 | For correct operation, you must interrogate the kernel in your device | |
163 | probe routine to see if the DMA controller on the machine can properly | |
164 | support the DMA addressing limitation your device has. It is good | |
165 | style to do this even if your device holds the default setting, | |
1da177e4 LT |
166 | because this shows that you did think about these issues wrt. your |
167 | device. | |
168 | ||
4aa806b7 | 169 | The query is performed via a call to dma_set_mask_and_coherent(): |
1da177e4 | 170 | |
4aa806b7 | 171 | int dma_set_mask_and_coherent(struct device *dev, u64 mask); |
1da177e4 | 172 | |
4aa806b7 RK |
173 | which will query the mask for both streaming and coherent APIs together. |
174 | If you have some special requirements, then the following two separate | |
175 | queries can be used instead: | |
1da177e4 | 176 | |
4aa806b7 RK |
177 | The query for streaming mappings is performed via a call to |
178 | dma_set_mask(): | |
179 | ||
180 | int dma_set_mask(struct device *dev, u64 mask); | |
181 | ||
182 | The query for consistent allocations is performed via a call | |
183 | to dma_set_coherent_mask(): | |
184 | ||
185 | int dma_set_coherent_mask(struct device *dev, u64 mask); | |
1da177e4 | 186 | |
216bf58f FT |
187 | Here, dev is a pointer to the device struct of your device, and mask |
188 | is a bit mask describing which bits of an address your device | |
189 | supports. It returns zero if your card can perform DMA properly on | |
190 | the machine given the address mask you provided. In general, the | |
77f2ea2f BH |
191 | device struct of your device is embedded in the bus-specific device |
192 | struct of your device. For example, &pdev->dev is a pointer to the | |
193 | device struct of a PCI device (pdev is a pointer to the PCI device | |
216bf58f | 194 | struct of your device). |
1da177e4 | 195 | |
84eb8d06 | 196 | If it returns non-zero, your device cannot perform DMA properly on |
1da177e4 LT |
197 | this platform, and attempting to do so will result in undefined |
198 | behavior. You must either use a different mask, or not use DMA. | |
199 | ||
200 | This means that in the failure case, you have three options: | |
201 | ||
202 | 1) Use another DMA mask, if possible (see below). | |
203 | 2) Use some non-DMA mode for data transfer, if possible. | |
204 | 3) Ignore this device and do not initialize it. | |
205 | ||
206 | It is recommended that your driver print a kernel KERN_WARNING message | |
207 | when you end up performing either #2 or #3. In this manner, if a user | |
208 | of your driver reports that performance is bad or that the device is not | |
209 | even detected, you can ask them for the kernel messages to find out | |
210 | exactly why. | |
211 | ||
216bf58f | 212 | The standard 32-bit addressing device would do something like this: |
1da177e4 | 213 | |
4aa806b7 | 214 | if (dma_set_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32))) { |
77f2ea2f | 215 | dev_warn(dev, "mydev: No suitable DMA available\n"); |
1da177e4 LT |
216 | goto ignore_this_device; |
217 | } | |
218 | ||
216bf58f FT |
219 | Another common scenario is a 64-bit capable device. The approach here |
220 | is to try for 64-bit addressing, but back down to a 32-bit mask that | |
221 | should not fail. The kernel may fail the 64-bit mask not because the | |
222 | platform is not capable of 64-bit addressing. Rather, it may fail in | |
223 | this case simply because 32-bit addressing is done more efficiently | |
224 | than 64-bit addressing. For example, Sparc64 PCI SAC addressing is | |
225 | more efficient than DAC addressing. | |
1da177e4 LT |
226 | |
227 | Here is how you would handle a 64-bit capable device which can drive | |
228 | all 64-bits when accessing streaming DMA: | |
229 | ||
230 | int using_dac; | |
231 | ||
216bf58f | 232 | if (!dma_set_mask(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64))) { |
1da177e4 | 233 | using_dac = 1; |
216bf58f | 234 | } else if (!dma_set_mask(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32))) { |
1da177e4 LT |
235 | using_dac = 0; |
236 | } else { | |
77f2ea2f | 237 | dev_warn(dev, "mydev: No suitable DMA available\n"); |
1da177e4 LT |
238 | goto ignore_this_device; |
239 | } | |
240 | ||
241 | If a card is capable of using 64-bit consistent allocations as well, | |
242 | the case would look like this: | |
243 | ||
244 | int using_dac, consistent_using_dac; | |
245 | ||
4aa806b7 | 246 | if (!dma_set_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64))) { |
1da177e4 | 247 | using_dac = 1; |
11e285d8 | 248 | consistent_using_dac = 1; |
4aa806b7 | 249 | } else if (!dma_set_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32))) { |
1da177e4 LT |
250 | using_dac = 0; |
251 | consistent_using_dac = 0; | |
1da177e4 | 252 | } else { |
77f2ea2f | 253 | dev_warn(dev, "mydev: No suitable DMA available\n"); |
1da177e4 LT |
254 | goto ignore_this_device; |
255 | } | |
256 | ||
34c815fb EL |
257 | The coherent mask will always be able to set the same or a smaller mask as |
258 | the streaming mask. However for the rare case that a device driver only | |
259 | uses consistent allocations, one would have to check the return value from | |
260 | dma_set_coherent_mask(). | |
1da177e4 | 261 | |
1da177e4 | 262 | Finally, if your device can only drive the low 24-bits of |
216bf58f | 263 | address you might do something like: |
1da177e4 | 264 | |
216bf58f | 265 | if (dma_set_mask(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(24))) { |
77f2ea2f | 266 | dev_warn(dev, "mydev: 24-bit DMA addressing not available\n"); |
1da177e4 LT |
267 | goto ignore_this_device; |
268 | } | |
269 | ||
4aa806b7 RK |
270 | When dma_set_mask() or dma_set_mask_and_coherent() is successful, and |
271 | returns zero, the kernel saves away this mask you have provided. The | |
272 | kernel will use this information later when you make DMA mappings. | |
1da177e4 LT |
273 | |
274 | There is a case which we are aware of at this time, which is worth | |
275 | mentioning in this documentation. If your device supports multiple | |
276 | functions (for example a sound card provides playback and record | |
277 | functions) and the various different functions have _different_ | |
278 | DMA addressing limitations, you may wish to probe each mask and | |
279 | only provide the functionality which the machine can handle. It | |
216bf58f | 280 | is important that the last call to dma_set_mask() be for the |
1da177e4 LT |
281 | most specific mask. |
282 | ||
283 | Here is pseudo-code showing how this might be done: | |
284 | ||
2c5510d4 | 285 | #define PLAYBACK_ADDRESS_BITS DMA_BIT_MASK(32) |
038f7d00 | 286 | #define RECORD_ADDRESS_BITS DMA_BIT_MASK(24) |
1da177e4 LT |
287 | |
288 | struct my_sound_card *card; | |
216bf58f | 289 | struct device *dev; |
1da177e4 LT |
290 | |
291 | ... | |
216bf58f | 292 | if (!dma_set_mask(dev, PLAYBACK_ADDRESS_BITS)) { |
1da177e4 LT |
293 | card->playback_enabled = 1; |
294 | } else { | |
295 | card->playback_enabled = 0; | |
77f2ea2f | 296 | dev_warn(dev, "%s: Playback disabled due to DMA limitations\n", |
1da177e4 LT |
297 | card->name); |
298 | } | |
216bf58f | 299 | if (!dma_set_mask(dev, RECORD_ADDRESS_BITS)) { |
1da177e4 LT |
300 | card->record_enabled = 1; |
301 | } else { | |
302 | card->record_enabled = 0; | |
77f2ea2f | 303 | dev_warn(dev, "%s: Record disabled due to DMA limitations\n", |
1da177e4 LT |
304 | card->name); |
305 | } | |
306 | ||
307 | A sound card was used as an example here because this genre of PCI | |
308 | devices seems to be littered with ISA chips given a PCI front end, | |
309 | and thus retaining the 16MB DMA addressing limitations of ISA. | |
310 | ||
311 | Types of DMA mappings | |
312 | ||
313 | There are two types of DMA mappings: | |
314 | ||
315 | - Consistent DMA mappings which are usually mapped at driver | |
316 | initialization, unmapped at the end and for which the hardware should | |
317 | guarantee that the device and the CPU can access the data | |
318 | in parallel and will see updates made by each other without any | |
319 | explicit software flushing. | |
320 | ||
321 | Think of "consistent" as "synchronous" or "coherent". | |
322 | ||
323 | The current default is to return consistent memory in the low 32 | |
3a9ad0b4 | 324 | bits of the DMA space. However, for future compatibility you should |
216bf58f | 325 | set the consistent mask even if this default is fine for your |
1da177e4 LT |
326 | driver. |
327 | ||
328 | Good examples of what to use consistent mappings for are: | |
329 | ||
330 | - Network card DMA ring descriptors. | |
331 | - SCSI adapter mailbox command data structures. | |
332 | - Device firmware microcode executed out of | |
333 | main memory. | |
334 | ||
335 | The invariant these examples all require is that any CPU store | |
336 | to memory is immediately visible to the device, and vice | |
337 | versa. Consistent mappings guarantee this. | |
338 | ||
339 | IMPORTANT: Consistent DMA memory does not preclude the usage of | |
340 | proper memory barriers. The CPU may reorder stores to | |
341 | consistent memory just as it may normal memory. Example: | |
342 | if it is important for the device to see the first word | |
343 | of a descriptor updated before the second, you must do | |
344 | something like: | |
345 | ||
346 | desc->word0 = address; | |
347 | wmb(); | |
348 | desc->word1 = DESC_VALID; | |
349 | ||
350 | in order to get correct behavior on all platforms. | |
351 | ||
21440d31 DB |
352 | Also, on some platforms your driver may need to flush CPU write |
353 | buffers in much the same way as it needs to flush write buffers | |
354 | found in PCI bridges (such as by reading a register's value | |
355 | after writing it). | |
356 | ||
216bf58f FT |
357 | - Streaming DMA mappings which are usually mapped for one DMA |
358 | transfer, unmapped right after it (unless you use dma_sync_* below) | |
359 | and for which hardware can optimize for sequential accesses. | |
1da177e4 | 360 | |
11e285d8 | 361 | Think of "streaming" as "asynchronous" or "outside the coherency |
1da177e4 LT |
362 | domain". |
363 | ||
364 | Good examples of what to use streaming mappings for are: | |
365 | ||
366 | - Networking buffers transmitted/received by a device. | |
367 | - Filesystem buffers written/read by a SCSI device. | |
368 | ||
369 | The interfaces for using this type of mapping were designed in | |
370 | such a way that an implementation can make whatever performance | |
371 | optimizations the hardware allows. To this end, when using | |
372 | such mappings you must be explicit about what you want to happen. | |
373 | ||
216bf58f FT |
374 | Neither type of DMA mapping has alignment restrictions that come from |
375 | the underlying bus, although some devices may have such restrictions. | |
21440d31 DB |
376 | Also, systems with caches that aren't DMA-coherent will work better |
377 | when the underlying buffers don't share cache lines with other data. | |
378 | ||
1da177e4 LT |
379 | |
380 | Using Consistent DMA mappings. | |
381 | ||
382 | To allocate and map large (PAGE_SIZE or so) consistent DMA regions, | |
383 | you should do: | |
384 | ||
385 | dma_addr_t dma_handle; | |
386 | ||
216bf58f | 387 | cpu_addr = dma_alloc_coherent(dev, size, &dma_handle, gfp); |
1da177e4 | 388 | |
216bf58f FT |
389 | where device is a struct device *. This may be called in interrupt |
390 | context with the GFP_ATOMIC flag. | |
1da177e4 LT |
391 | |
392 | Size is the length of the region you want to allocate, in bytes. | |
393 | ||
394 | This routine will allocate RAM for that region, so it acts similarly to | |
77f2ea2f | 395 | __get_free_pages() (but takes size instead of a page order). If your |
1da177e4 | 396 | driver needs regions sized smaller than a page, you may prefer using |
216bf58f FT |
397 | the dma_pool interface, described below. |
398 | ||
399 | The consistent DMA mapping interfaces, for non-NULL dev, will by | |
400 | default return a DMA address which is 32-bit addressable. Even if the | |
401 | device indicates (via DMA mask) that it may address the upper 32-bits, | |
402 | consistent allocation will only return > 32-bit addresses for DMA if | |
403 | the consistent DMA mask has been explicitly changed via | |
404 | dma_set_coherent_mask(). This is true of the dma_pool interface as | |
405 | well. | |
406 | ||
77f2ea2f | 407 | dma_alloc_coherent() returns two values: the virtual address which you |
1da177e4 LT |
408 | can use to access it from the CPU and dma_handle which you pass to the |
409 | card. | |
410 | ||
3a9ad0b4 | 411 | The CPU virtual address and the DMA address are both |
1da177e4 LT |
412 | guaranteed to be aligned to the smallest PAGE_SIZE order which |
413 | is greater than or equal to the requested size. This invariant | |
414 | exists (for example) to guarantee that if you allocate a chunk | |
415 | which is smaller than or equal to 64 kilobytes, the extent of the | |
416 | buffer you receive will not cross a 64K boundary. | |
417 | ||
418 | To unmap and free such a DMA region, you call: | |
419 | ||
216bf58f | 420 | dma_free_coherent(dev, size, cpu_addr, dma_handle); |
1da177e4 | 421 | |
216bf58f | 422 | where dev, size are the same as in the above call and cpu_addr and |
77f2ea2f | 423 | dma_handle are the values dma_alloc_coherent() returned to you. |
1da177e4 LT |
424 | This function may not be called in interrupt context. |
425 | ||
426 | If your driver needs lots of smaller memory regions, you can write | |
77f2ea2f | 427 | custom code to subdivide pages returned by dma_alloc_coherent(), |
216bf58f | 428 | or you can use the dma_pool API to do that. A dma_pool is like |
77f2ea2f | 429 | a kmem_cache, but it uses dma_alloc_coherent(), not __get_free_pages(). |
1da177e4 LT |
430 | Also, it understands common hardware constraints for alignment, |
431 | like queue heads needing to be aligned on N byte boundaries. | |
432 | ||
216bf58f | 433 | Create a dma_pool like this: |
1da177e4 | 434 | |
216bf58f | 435 | struct dma_pool *pool; |
1da177e4 | 436 | |
2af9da86 | 437 | pool = dma_pool_create(name, dev, size, align, boundary); |
1da177e4 | 438 | |
216bf58f | 439 | The "name" is for diagnostics (like a kmem_cache name); dev and size |
1da177e4 LT |
440 | are as above. The device's hardware alignment requirement for this |
441 | type of data is "align" (which is expressed in bytes, and must be a | |
442 | power of two). If your device has no boundary crossing restrictions, | |
2af9da86 | 443 | pass 0 for boundary; passing 4096 says memory allocated from this pool |
1da177e4 | 444 | must not cross 4KByte boundaries (but at that time it may be better to |
77f2ea2f | 445 | use dma_alloc_coherent() directly instead). |
1da177e4 | 446 | |
77f2ea2f | 447 | Allocate memory from a DMA pool like this: |
1da177e4 | 448 | |
216bf58f | 449 | cpu_addr = dma_pool_alloc(pool, flags, &dma_handle); |
1da177e4 | 450 | |
2af9da86 GK |
451 | flags are GFP_KERNEL if blocking is permitted (not in_interrupt nor |
452 | holding SMP locks), GFP_ATOMIC otherwise. Like dma_alloc_coherent(), | |
1da177e4 LT |
453 | this returns two values, cpu_addr and dma_handle. |
454 | ||
216bf58f | 455 | Free memory that was allocated from a dma_pool like this: |
1da177e4 | 456 | |
216bf58f | 457 | dma_pool_free(pool, cpu_addr, dma_handle); |
1da177e4 | 458 | |
77f2ea2f BH |
459 | where pool is what you passed to dma_pool_alloc(), and cpu_addr and |
460 | dma_handle are the values dma_pool_alloc() returned. This function | |
1da177e4 LT |
461 | may be called in interrupt context. |
462 | ||
216bf58f | 463 | Destroy a dma_pool by calling: |
1da177e4 | 464 | |
216bf58f | 465 | dma_pool_destroy(pool); |
1da177e4 | 466 | |
77f2ea2f | 467 | Make sure you've called dma_pool_free() for all memory allocated |
1da177e4 LT |
468 | from a pool before you destroy the pool. This function may not |
469 | be called in interrupt context. | |
470 | ||
471 | DMA Direction | |
472 | ||
473 | The interfaces described in subsequent portions of this document | |
474 | take a DMA direction argument, which is an integer and takes on | |
475 | one of the following values: | |
476 | ||
216bf58f FT |
477 | DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL |
478 | DMA_TO_DEVICE | |
479 | DMA_FROM_DEVICE | |
480 | DMA_NONE | |
1da177e4 | 481 | |
77f2ea2f | 482 | You should provide the exact DMA direction if you know it. |
1da177e4 | 483 | |
216bf58f FT |
484 | DMA_TO_DEVICE means "from main memory to the device" |
485 | DMA_FROM_DEVICE means "from the device to main memory" | |
1da177e4 LT |
486 | It is the direction in which the data moves during the DMA |
487 | transfer. | |
488 | ||
489 | You are _strongly_ encouraged to specify this as precisely | |
490 | as you possibly can. | |
491 | ||
492 | If you absolutely cannot know the direction of the DMA transfer, | |
216bf58f | 493 | specify DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL. It means that the DMA can go in |
1da177e4 LT |
494 | either direction. The platform guarantees that you may legally |
495 | specify this, and that it will work, but this may be at the | |
496 | cost of performance for example. | |
497 | ||
216bf58f | 498 | The value DMA_NONE is to be used for debugging. One can |
1da177e4 LT |
499 | hold this in a data structure before you come to know the |
500 | precise direction, and this will help catch cases where your | |
501 | direction tracking logic has failed to set things up properly. | |
502 | ||
503 | Another advantage of specifying this value precisely (outside of | |
504 | potential platform-specific optimizations of such) is for debugging. | |
505 | Some platforms actually have a write permission boolean which DMA | |
506 | mappings can be marked with, much like page protections in the user | |
507 | program address space. Such platforms can and do report errors in the | |
216bf58f | 508 | kernel logs when the DMA controller hardware detects violation of the |
1da177e4 LT |
509 | permission setting. |
510 | ||
511 | Only streaming mappings specify a direction, consistent mappings | |
512 | implicitly have a direction attribute setting of | |
216bf58f | 513 | DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL. |
1da177e4 | 514 | |
be7db055 | 515 | The SCSI subsystem tells you the direction to use in the |
516 | 'sc_data_direction' member of the SCSI command your driver is | |
517 | working on. | |
1da177e4 LT |
518 | |
519 | For Networking drivers, it's a rather simple affair. For transmit | |
216bf58f | 520 | packets, map/unmap them with the DMA_TO_DEVICE direction |
1da177e4 | 521 | specifier. For receive packets, just the opposite, map/unmap them |
216bf58f | 522 | with the DMA_FROM_DEVICE direction specifier. |
1da177e4 LT |
523 | |
524 | Using Streaming DMA mappings | |
525 | ||
526 | The streaming DMA mapping routines can be called from interrupt | |
527 | context. There are two versions of each map/unmap, one which will | |
528 | map/unmap a single memory region, and one which will map/unmap a | |
529 | scatterlist. | |
530 | ||
531 | To map a single region, you do: | |
532 | ||
216bf58f | 533 | struct device *dev = &my_dev->dev; |
1da177e4 LT |
534 | dma_addr_t dma_handle; |
535 | void *addr = buffer->ptr; | |
536 | size_t size = buffer->len; | |
537 | ||
216bf58f | 538 | dma_handle = dma_map_single(dev, addr, size, direction); |
b2dd83b3 | 539 | if (dma_mapping_error(dev, dma_handle)) { |
8d7f62e6 SK |
540 | /* |
541 | * reduce current DMA mapping usage, | |
542 | * delay and try again later or | |
543 | * reset driver. | |
544 | */ | |
545 | goto map_error_handling; | |
546 | } | |
1da177e4 LT |
547 | |
548 | and to unmap it: | |
549 | ||
216bf58f | 550 | dma_unmap_single(dev, dma_handle, size, direction); |
1da177e4 | 551 | |
8d7f62e6 | 552 | You should call dma_mapping_error() as dma_map_single() could fail and return |
77f2ea2f | 553 | error. Not all DMA implementations support the dma_mapping_error() interface. |
8d7f62e6 SK |
554 | However, it is a good practice to call dma_mapping_error() interface, which |
555 | will invoke the generic mapping error check interface. Doing so will ensure | |
77f2ea2f | 556 | that the mapping code will work correctly on all DMA implementations without |
8d7f62e6 SK |
557 | any dependency on the specifics of the underlying implementation. Using the |
558 | returned address without checking for errors could result in failures ranging | |
be62bc41 | 559 | from panics to silent data corruption. A couple of examples of incorrect ways |
77f2ea2f | 560 | to check for errors that make assumptions about the underlying DMA |
be62bc41 SK |
561 | implementation are as follows and these are applicable to dma_map_page() as |
562 | well. | |
8d7f62e6 SK |
563 | |
564 | Incorrect example 1: | |
565 | dma_addr_t dma_handle; | |
566 | ||
567 | dma_handle = dma_map_single(dev, addr, size, direction); | |
568 | if ((dma_handle & 0xffff != 0) || (dma_handle >= 0x1000000)) { | |
569 | goto map_error; | |
570 | } | |
571 | ||
572 | Incorrect example 2: | |
573 | dma_addr_t dma_handle; | |
574 | ||
575 | dma_handle = dma_map_single(dev, addr, size, direction); | |
576 | if (dma_handle == DMA_ERROR_CODE) { | |
577 | goto map_error; | |
578 | } | |
579 | ||
77f2ea2f | 580 | You should call dma_unmap_single() when the DMA activity is finished, e.g., |
1da177e4 LT |
581 | from the interrupt which told you that the DMA transfer is done. |
582 | ||
f311a724 | 583 | Using CPU pointers like this for single mappings has a disadvantage: |
1da177e4 | 584 | you cannot reference HIGHMEM memory in this way. Thus, there is a |
77f2ea2f | 585 | map/unmap interface pair akin to dma_{map,unmap}_single(). These |
f311a724 | 586 | interfaces deal with page/offset pairs instead of CPU pointers. |
1da177e4 LT |
587 | Specifically: |
588 | ||
216bf58f | 589 | struct device *dev = &my_dev->dev; |
1da177e4 LT |
590 | dma_addr_t dma_handle; |
591 | struct page *page = buffer->page; | |
592 | unsigned long offset = buffer->offset; | |
593 | size_t size = buffer->len; | |
594 | ||
216bf58f | 595 | dma_handle = dma_map_page(dev, page, offset, size, direction); |
b2dd83b3 | 596 | if (dma_mapping_error(dev, dma_handle)) { |
8d7f62e6 SK |
597 | /* |
598 | * reduce current DMA mapping usage, | |
599 | * delay and try again later or | |
600 | * reset driver. | |
601 | */ | |
602 | goto map_error_handling; | |
603 | } | |
1da177e4 LT |
604 | |
605 | ... | |
606 | ||
216bf58f | 607 | dma_unmap_page(dev, dma_handle, size, direction); |
1da177e4 LT |
608 | |
609 | Here, "offset" means byte offset within the given page. | |
610 | ||
8d7f62e6 SK |
611 | You should call dma_mapping_error() as dma_map_page() could fail and return |
612 | error as outlined under the dma_map_single() discussion. | |
613 | ||
77f2ea2f | 614 | You should call dma_unmap_page() when the DMA activity is finished, e.g., |
8d7f62e6 SK |
615 | from the interrupt which told you that the DMA transfer is done. |
616 | ||
1da177e4 LT |
617 | With scatterlists, you map a region gathered from several regions by: |
618 | ||
216bf58f | 619 | int i, count = dma_map_sg(dev, sglist, nents, direction); |
1da177e4 LT |
620 | struct scatterlist *sg; |
621 | ||
4c2f6d4c | 622 | for_each_sg(sglist, sg, count, i) { |
1da177e4 LT |
623 | hw_address[i] = sg_dma_address(sg); |
624 | hw_len[i] = sg_dma_len(sg); | |
625 | } | |
626 | ||
627 | where nents is the number of entries in the sglist. | |
628 | ||
629 | The implementation is free to merge several consecutive sglist entries | |
630 | into one (e.g. if DMA mapping is done with PAGE_SIZE granularity, any | |
631 | consecutive sglist entries can be merged into one provided the first one | |
632 | ends and the second one starts on a page boundary - in fact this is a huge | |
633 | advantage for cards which either cannot do scatter-gather or have very | |
634 | limited number of scatter-gather entries) and returns the actual number | |
635 | of sg entries it mapped them to. On failure 0 is returned. | |
636 | ||
637 | Then you should loop count times (note: this can be less than nents times) | |
638 | and use sg_dma_address() and sg_dma_len() macros where you previously | |
639 | accessed sg->address and sg->length as shown above. | |
640 | ||
641 | To unmap a scatterlist, just call: | |
642 | ||
216bf58f | 643 | dma_unmap_sg(dev, sglist, nents, direction); |
1da177e4 LT |
644 | |
645 | Again, make sure DMA activity has already finished. | |
646 | ||
216bf58f FT |
647 | PLEASE NOTE: The 'nents' argument to the dma_unmap_sg call must be |
648 | the _same_ one you passed into the dma_map_sg call, | |
1da177e4 | 649 | it should _NOT_ be the 'count' value _returned_ from the |
216bf58f | 650 | dma_map_sg call. |
1da177e4 | 651 | |
77f2ea2f | 652 | Every dma_map_{single,sg}() call should have its dma_unmap_{single,sg}() |
3a9ad0b4 YL |
653 | counterpart, because the DMA address space is a shared resource and |
654 | you could render the machine unusable by consuming all DMA addresses. | |
1da177e4 LT |
655 | |
656 | If you need to use the same streaming DMA region multiple times and touch | |
657 | the data in between the DMA transfers, the buffer needs to be synced | |
f311a724 | 658 | properly in order for the CPU and device to see the most up-to-date and |
1da177e4 LT |
659 | correct copy of the DMA buffer. |
660 | ||
77f2ea2f | 661 | So, firstly, just map it with dma_map_{single,sg}(), and after each DMA |
1da177e4 LT |
662 | transfer call either: |
663 | ||
216bf58f | 664 | dma_sync_single_for_cpu(dev, dma_handle, size, direction); |
1da177e4 LT |
665 | |
666 | or: | |
667 | ||
216bf58f | 668 | dma_sync_sg_for_cpu(dev, sglist, nents, direction); |
1da177e4 LT |
669 | |
670 | as appropriate. | |
671 | ||
672 | Then, if you wish to let the device get at the DMA area again, | |
f311a724 | 673 | finish accessing the data with the CPU, and then before actually |
1da177e4 LT |
674 | giving the buffer to the hardware call either: |
675 | ||
216bf58f | 676 | dma_sync_single_for_device(dev, dma_handle, size, direction); |
1da177e4 LT |
677 | |
678 | or: | |
679 | ||
216bf58f | 680 | dma_sync_sg_for_device(dev, sglist, nents, direction); |
1da177e4 LT |
681 | |
682 | as appropriate. | |
683 | ||
684 | After the last DMA transfer call one of the DMA unmap routines | |
77f2ea2f BH |
685 | dma_unmap_{single,sg}(). If you don't touch the data from the first |
686 | dma_map_*() call till dma_unmap_*(), then you don't have to call the | |
687 | dma_sync_*() routines at all. | |
1da177e4 LT |
688 | |
689 | Here is pseudo code which shows a situation in which you would need | |

752 | Drivers converted fully to this interface should not use virt_to_bus() any |
753 | longer, nor should they use bus_to_virt(). Some drivers have to be changed a | |
754 | little bit, because there is no longer an equivalent to bus_to_virt() in the | |
1da177e4 | 755 | dynamic DMA mapping scheme - you have to always store the DMA addresses |
77f2ea2f BH |
756 | returned by the dma_alloc_coherent(), dma_pool_alloc(), and dma_map_single() |

789 | of a multiple page mapping attempt. These example are applicable to | |
790 | dma_map_page() as well. | |
791 | ||
792 | Example 1: | |
793 | dma_addr_t dma_handle1; | |
794 | dma_addr_t dma_handle2; | |
795 | ||
796 | dma_handle1 = dma_map_single(dev, addr, size, direction); | |
797 | if (dma_mapping_error(dev, dma_handle1)) { | |
798 | /* | |
799 | * reduce current DMA mapping usage, | |
800 | * delay and try again later or | |
801 | * reset driver. | |
802 | */ | |
803 | goto map_error_handling1; | |
804 | } | |
805 | dma_handle2 = dma_map_single(dev, addr, size, direction); | |
806 | if (dma_mapping_error(dev, dma_handle2)) { | |
807 | /* | |
808 | * reduce current DMA mapping usage, | |
809 | * delay and try again later or | |
810 | * reset driver. | |
811 | */ | |
812 | goto map_error_handling2; | |
813 | } | |
814 | ||
815 | ... | |
816 | ||

818 | dma_unmap_single(dma_handle1); | |

11cd3db0 | 821 | Example 2: (if buffers are allocated in a loop, unmap all mapped buffers when |
8d7f62e6 SK |
822 | mapping error is detected in the middle) |
823 | ||
824 | dma_addr_t dma_addr; | |
825 | dma_addr_t array[DMA_BUFFERS]; | |
826 | int save_index = 0; | |
827 | ||
828 | for (i = 0; i < DMA_BUFFERS; i++) { | |
829 | ||
830 | ... | |
831 | ||
832 | dma_addr = dma_map_single(dev, addr, size, direction); | |
833 | if (dma_mapping_error(dev, dma_addr)) { | |
834 | /* | |
835 | * reduce current DMA mapping usage, | |
836 | * delay and try again later or | |
837 | * reset driver. | |
838 | */ | |
839 | goto map_error_handling; | |
840 | } | |
841 | array[i].dma_addr = dma_addr; | |
842 | save_index++; | |
843 | } | |
844 | ||
845 | ... | |
846 | ||
847 | map_error_handling: | |
848 | ||
849 | for (i = 0; i < save_index; i++) { | |
850 | ||
851 | ... | |
852 | ||
853 | dma_unmap_single(array[i].dma_addr); | |

854 | } |
855 | ||
77f2ea2f | 856 | Networking drivers must call dev_kfree_skb() to free the socket buffer |
4ae9ca82 FT |
857 | and return NETDEV_TX_OK if the DMA mapping fails on the transmit hook |
858 | (ndo_start_xmit). This means that the socket buffer is just dropped in | |
859 | the failure case. | |
860 | ||
861 | SCSI drivers must return SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY if the DMA mapping | |
862 | fails in the queuecommand hook. This means that the SCSI subsystem | |
863 | passes the command to the driver again later. | |

865 | Optimizing Unmap State Space Consumption |
866 | ||
216bf58f | 867 | On many platforms, dma_unmap_{single,page}() is simply a nop. |
1da177e4 LT |
868 | Therefore, keeping track of the mapping address and length is a waste |
869 | of space. Instead of filling your drivers up with ifdefs and the like | |
870 | to "work around" this (which would defeat the whole purpose of a | |
871 | portable API) the following facilities are provided. | |
872 | ||
873 | Actually, instead of describing the macros one by one, we'll | |
874 | transform some example code. | |
875 | ||
216bf58f | 876 | 1) Use DEFINE_DMA_UNMAP_{ADDR,LEN} in state saving structures. |
1da177e4 LT |
877 | Example, before: |
878 | ||
879 | struct ring_state { | |
880 | struct sk_buff *skb; | |
881 | dma_addr_t mapping; | |
882 | __u32 len; | |
883 | }; | |
884 | ||
885 | after: | |
886 | ||
887 | struct ring_state { | |
888 | struct sk_buff *skb; | |
216bf58f FT |
889 | DEFINE_DMA_UNMAP_ADDR(mapping); |
890 | DEFINE_DMA_UNMAP_LEN(len); | |
1da177e4 LT |
891 | }; |
892 | ||
77f2ea2f | 893 | 2) Use dma_unmap_{addr,len}_set() to set these values. |
1da177e4 LT |
894 | Example, before: |
895 | ||
896 | ringp->mapping = FOO; | |
897 | ringp->len = BAR; | |
898 | ||
899 | after: | |
900 | ||
216bf58f FT |
901 | dma_unmap_addr_set(ringp, mapping, FOO); |
902 | dma_unmap_len_set(ringp, len, BAR); | |
1da177e4 | 903 | |
77f2ea2f | 904 | 3) Use dma_unmap_{addr,len}() to access these values. |
1da177e4 LT |
905 | Example, before: |
906 | ||
216bf58f FT |
907 | dma_unmap_single(dev, ringp->mapping, ringp->len, |
908 | DMA_FROM_DEVICE); | |
1da177e4 LT |
909 | |
910 | after: | |
911 | ||
216bf58f FT |
912 | dma_unmap_single(dev, |
913 | dma_unmap_addr(ringp, mapping), | |
914 | dma_unmap_len(ringp, len), | |
915 | DMA_FROM_DEVICE); | |
1da177e4 LT |
916 | |
917 | It really should be self-explanatory. We treat the ADDR and LEN | |
918 | separately, because it is possible for an implementation to only | |
919 | need the address in order to perform the unmap operation. | |
920 | ||
921 | Platform Issues | |
922 | ||
923 | If you are just writing drivers for Linux and do not maintain | |
924 | an architecture port for the kernel, you can safely skip down | |
925 | to "Closing". | |
926 | ||
927 | 1) Struct scatterlist requirements. | |
928 | ||
b02de871 FT |
929 | Don't invent the architecture specific struct scatterlist; just use |
930 | <asm-generic/scatterlist.h>. You need to enable | |
931 | CONFIG_NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH if the architecture supports IOMMUs | |
932 | (including software IOMMU). | |
1da177e4 | 933 | |
ce00f7fe | 934 | 2) ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN |
2fd74e25 FT |
935 | |
936 | Architectures must ensure that kmalloc'ed buffer is | |
937 | DMA-safe. Drivers and subsystems depend on it. If an architecture | |
938 | isn't fully DMA-coherent (i.e. hardware doesn't ensure that data in | |
939 | the CPU cache is identical to data in main memory), | |
ce00f7fe | 940 | ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN must be set so that the memory allocator |
2fd74e25 FT |
941 | makes sure that kmalloc'ed buffer doesn't share a cache line with |
942 | the others. See arch/arm/include/asm/cache.h as an example. | |
943 | ||
ce00f7fe | 944 | Note that ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN is about DMA memory alignment |
2fd74e25 FT |
945 | constraints. You don't need to worry about the architecture data |
946 | alignment constraints (e.g. the alignment constraints about 64-bit | |
947 | objects). | |
1da177e4 | 948 | |
c31e74c4 FT |
949 | 3) Supporting multiple types of IOMMUs |
950 | ||
951 | If your architecture needs to support multiple types of IOMMUs, you | |
952 | can use include/linux/asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h. It's a | |
953 | library to support the DMA API with multiple types of IOMMUs. Lots | |
954 | of architectures (x86, powerpc, sh, alpha, ia64, microblaze and | |
955 | sparc) use it. Choose one to see how it can be used. If you need to | |
956 | support multiple types of IOMMUs in a single system, the example of | |
957 | x86 or powerpc helps. | |
