From: Russell King Date: Sat, 14 Apr 2012 17:57:10 +0000 (+0100) Subject: ARM: OMAP: fix DMA vs memory ordering X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=354535845ffb74d8a4827fbdaa493037d0030eea;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git ARM: OMAP: fix DMA vs memory ordering Using coherent DMA memory with the OMAP DMA engine results in unpredictable behaviour due to memory ordering issues; as things stand, there is no guarantee that data written to coherent DMA memory will be visible to the DMA hardware. This is because the OMAP dma_write() accessor contains no barriers, necessary on ARMv6 and above. The effect of this can be seen in comments in the OMAP serial driver, which incorrectly talks about cache flushing for the coherent DMA stuff. Rather than adding barriers to the accessors, add it in the DMA support code just before we enable DMA, and just after we disable DMA. This avoids having barriers for every DMA register access.
