- Coherent cache memory is used in libbsd for things like descriptors
     and it optionally clears the memory on allocation. Test is works.
There is no guarantee that memset() and memcpy() work with cache coherent
memory. Such memory areas may disallow misaligned access for example.
That seems reasonable however this change about testing the implicit
requirements we have that memset works. LibBSD requires memset works ...

https://git.rtems.org/rtems-libbsd/tree/rtemsbsd/rtems/rtems-kernel-bus-dma.c?h=6-freebsd-12#n260

Using memset() here could be a bug in libbsd.
Yes, I also think so.

But what is a suitable mechanism to make sure the arch or BSP handle it
correctly? Maybe a clear routine in libbsd using the bus space API? That
interface has to work or the drivers will not work.

I think we had similar issues on another BSP. Christian, do you remember how we solved this?


I remember mainly problems with copying memory. I think the last time it resulted in an ugly "copy_from/to_io" function on the atsam:

  https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/bsps/arm/atsam/start/iocopy.c

The bus_space_* functions should work. Only problem is that a valid bus_space_tag is missing in this context. I think x86 uses it. I think for all other platforms it is unused.

Best regards

Christian
