[PATCH v3] net: stmmac: allocate separate page for buffer
Posted by Suraj Jaiswal 1 month, 1 week ago
Currently for TSO page is mapped with dma_map_single()
and then resulting dma address is referenced (and offset)
by multiple descriptors until the whole region is
programmed into the descriptors.
This makes it possible for stmmac_tx_clean() to dma_unmap()
the first of the already processed descriptors, while the
rest are still being processed by the DMA engine. This leads
to an iommu fault due to the DMA engine using unmapped memory
as seen below:

arm-smmu 15000000.iommu: Unhandled context fault: fsr=0x402,
iova=0xfc401000, fsynr=0x60003, cbfrsynra=0x121, cb=38

Descriptor content:
     TDES0       TDES1   TDES2   TDES3
317: 0xfc400800  0x0     0x36    0xa02c0b68
318: 0xfc400836  0x0     0xb68   0x90000000

As we can see above descriptor 317 holding a page address
and 318 holding the buffer address by adding offset to page
address. Now if 317 descritor is cleaned as part of tx_clean()
then we will get SMMU fault if 318 descriptor is getting accessed.

To fix this, let's map each descriptor's memory reference individually.
This way there's no risk of unmapping a region that's still being
referenced by the DMA engine in a later descriptor.

Hi Suraj,

Thanks for this fix.

I tested your patch on XGMAC 3.20a, all goes well, except a performance
drop of ~10%
Like Jakub Kicinski said in V2, this involves more dma_map() and does add
overhead :-/

I might have a better fix for this, I will send to review and CC it to you.

Thanks.

Lets mark this as changed-requested, due to the performance drop

It also introduces one more kdoc warning.
