All other places in swiotlb-xen got from PFN to BFN and then call
phys_to_dma on the result or vice versa, but the reverse mapping used
for cache maintenance skips the BFN to PFN mapping.

Hi Christoph,

No, these checks are done on purpose differently. Let me explain.


xen_phys_to_dma does 2 translations:
1) guest physical to real physical (also called mfn in Xen)
2) real physical to dma

2) is not interesting in this discussion, 1) is.

Dom0 is mapped 1:1 guest physical == real physical by default on ARM.

For any Dom0 memory page:
- guest physical == real physical

Dom0 sometimes maps memory of other domains. By definitions, those are
not 1:1 mapped. For those:
- guest physical != real physical

Linux normally only knows about guest physical addresses, not real
physical addresses.


The checks below are meant to check if a given page is a regular Dom0
page, or a page of another domain. The check relies on the fact that if
it is a local Dom0 page then (guest physical == real physical) and
pfn_valid return true, otherwise if it not a local Dom0 page then (guest
physical != real physical) and pfn_valid return false.

Basically the check is doing:

  pfn_valid(real phys address)

In the local case:

  pfn_valid(real phys address) == pfn_valid(guest phys address) => true

In the foreign case:

  pfn_valid(real phys address) != pfn_valid(guest phys address) => false


Note that pfn_valid(guest phys address) would return true in both cases
because the foreign page is mapped over a valid Dom0 guest physical
address.


In short, it is a simple trick to detect if the address corresponds to a
regular Dom0 memory page or not.

Cheers,

Stefano
