The problem is that the dma_map_resource() won't work for that, but
presumably the dma_map_sg()-like methods will (after some hacking with
the phys address, but anyway). Consider the system diagram in my
previous email. Here is what I would do to initialize a DMA
transaction between a platform device and a PCIe peripheral device:
1) struct resource *rsc = platform_get_resource(plat_dev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0);
2) dma_addr_t dar = dma_map_resource(&pci_dev->dev, rsc->start, rsc->end -
rsc->start + 1,
DMA_FROM_DEVICE, 0);
3) dma_addr_t sar;
void *tmp = dma_alloc_coherent(&pci_dev->dev, PAGE_SIZE, &sar, GFP_KERNEL);
memset(tmp, 0xaa, PAGE_SIZE);
4) PCIe device: DMA.DAR=dar, DMA.SAR=sar. RUN.
If there is no dma-ranges specified in the PCIe Host controller
DT-node, the PCIe peripheral devices will see the rest of the system
memory as is (no offsets and remappings). But if there is dma-ranges
with some specific system settings it may affect the PCIe MRd/MWr TLPs
address translation including the addresses targeted to the MMIO
space. In that case the mapping performed on step 2) will return a
wrong DMA-address since the corresponding dma_direct_map_resource()
just returns the passed physical address missing the
'pci_dev->dma_range_map'-based mapping performed in
translate_phys_to_dma().
Note the mapping on step 3) works correctly because it calls the
translate_phys_to_dma() of the direct DMA interface thus taking the
PCie dma-ranges into account.
To sum up as I see it either restricting dma_map_resource() to map
just the intra-bus addresses was wrong or there must be some
additional mapping infrastructure for the denoted systems. Though I
don't see a way the dma_map_resource() could be fixed to be suitable
for each considered cases.
