Hi Konrad,
This patch series adds a kernel command line option to aid debugging
when developing support for DMA to memory outside the 32-bit address
space. If specified, trying to map memory that cannot be used with DMA
will fail, and a warning will be printed. This has been used
succesfully to find drivers and DMA engines that do not support 64-bit
memory.
Changes compared to v1:
- Dropp patch "swiotlb: Rate-limit printing when running out of
SW-IOMMU space", which has been picked up,
- Add cleanup patch 1/3,
- Add patch 2/3, to convert the flag swiotlb_force from an int to an
enum,
- Change the kernel parameter "swiotlb=nobounce" to "swiotlb=noforce"
(requested by Konrad Wilk),
- Extend swiotlb_force enum instead of adding an swiotlb_nobounce
variable (requested by Konrad Wilk).
This has been tested on ra7796/salvator-x, and compile-tested on x86.
Thanks!
