This patchset converts the intel iommu driver to the dma-iommu api. While converting the driver I exposed a bug in the intel i915 driver which causes a huge amount of artifacts on the screen of my laptop. You can see a picture of it here: https://github.com/pippy360/kernelPatches/blob/master/IMG_20191219_225922.jpg
This issue is in the i915 driver and is caused by the driver not respecting the return value of the dma_map_ops::map_sg function. We talked about this in this microconference: https://linuxplumbersconf.org/event/7/contributions/846/ and came to the conclusion that we should add an attribute to disable combining sg segments in the dma-iommu api (in the __finalise_sg function). This will work as a temporary fix and allow us to convert the intel iommu driver to the dma-iommu path while we wait for the i915 driver to be rewritten to respect the return value of map_sg. I haven't done this work yet and won't have time to do it. If someone else could take this on that would be great. To allow my patch set to be tested I have added a patch (the "DO NOT MERGE..." patch) in this series to disable combining sg segments in the dma-iommu api which fixes the bug but it doesn't fix the actual problem. As part of this patch series I copied the intel bounce buffer code to the dma-iommu path. The addition of the bounce buffer code took me by surprise. I did most of my development on this patch series before the bounce buffer code was added and my reimplementation in the dma-iommu path is very rushed and not properly tested but I’m running out of time to work on this patch set. On top of that I also didn’t port over the intel tracing code from this commit: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/3b53034c268d550d9e8522e613a14ab53b8840d8#diff-6b3e7c4993f05e76331e463ab1fc87e1 So all the work in that commit is now wasted. The code will need to be removed and reimplemented in the dma-iommu path. I would like to take the time to do this but I really don’t have the time at the moment and I want to get these changes out before the iommu code changes any more. Unfortunately I no longer have enough spare time to continue to work on/rebase this patch series. So this will most likely be the last patch series from me for the intel dma-iommu conversion.
