[PATCH v5 15/28] hw/i386: Assume fw_cfg DMA is always enabled
Posted by Zhao Liu 1 week, 2 days ago
From: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <philmd@linaro.org>

Now all calls of x86 machines to fw_cfg_init_io_dma() pass DMA
arguments, so the FWCfgState (FWCfgIoState) created by x86 machines
enables DMA by default.

Although other callers of fw_cfg_init_io_dma() besides x86 also pass
DMA arguments to create DMA-enabled FwCfgIoState, the "dma_enabled"
property of FwCfgIoState cannot yet be removed, because Sun4u and Sun4v
still create DMA-disabled FwCfgIoState (bypass fw_cfg_init_io_dma()) in
sun4uv_init() (hw/sparc64/sun4u.c).

Maybe reusing fw_cfg_init_io_dma() for them would be a better choice, or
adding fw_cfg_init_io_nodma(). However, before that, first simplify the
handling of FwCfgState in x86.

Considering that FwCfgIoState in x86 enables DMA by default, remove the
handling for DMA-disabled cases and replace DMA checks with assertions
to ensure that the default DMA-enabled setting is not broken.

Then 'linuxboot.bin' isn't used anymore, and it will be removed in the
next commit.

Changes since v4:
 * Keep "dma_enabled" property in fw_cfg_io_properties[].
 * Replace DMA checks with assertions for x86 machines.

I answered these concerns here:
