Any further comments on the ACPI ECR documented in: 
https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3335 ?

I already have comments from Jeremey and Andrew saying it looks good. If there 
are no objections, I will let ASWG know to approve the ECR for future ACPI spec 
publication.

Thanks,

Subject: Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH 3/3] Platform/RaspberryPi/AcpiTables: Correct 
_DMA consumer

I just got to this thread. Apologies for the delay.

I went through the ACPI spec. Here is what I see:

https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.4/19_ASL_Reference/ACPI_Source_Language_Reference.html#qwordmemory-qword-memory-resource-descriptor-macro


"ResourceUsage specifies whether the Memory range is consumed by this device 
(ResourceConsumer) or passed on to child devices (ResourceProducer). If nothing 
is specified, then ResourceConsumer is assumed."



https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.4/06_Device_Configuration/Device_Configuration.html#dma-direct-memory-access



" It specifies the ranges the bus controller (bridge) decodes on the child-side 
of its interface. (This is analogous to the _CRS object, which describes the 
resources that the bus controller decodes on the parent-side of its interface.) 
Any ranges described in the resources of a _DMA object can be used by child 
devices for DMA or bus master transactions.."



The way I read the spec, this wording in the _DMA definition "Any ranges 
described in the resources of a _DMA object can be used by child devices.." 
suggests that this should be a ResourceProducer, per the QWordMemory resource 
descriptor definition above


The _DMA example in section 6.2.4 uses a "ResourceConsumer", when it should 
really be "ResourceProducer" according to these definitions: It describes , the 
child devices view of the address range, so the "translation" added is the 
CPU's view of the same range.



I submitted a "code first" ECR to correct the ACPI spec example (here : 
https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3335). Please provide feedback 
on the BZ (or this thread) whether you agree or not, so we can take this to 
ASWG/UEFI Forum for discussion and approval



Thanks,

--Samer

I don't know... the ACPI spec is weird.

https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.4/06_Device_Configuration/Device_Configuration.html#dma-direct-memory-access

...lists ResourceConsumer for _DMA.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Platform/RaspberryPi/AcpiTables: Correct _DMA consumer

Bridge devices should be marked as producers so that their
children can consume the resources. In linux if this isn't
true then the translation gets ignored and the DMA values
are incorrect. This fixes DMA on all the devices that
need a translation.
