This addresses a v4.19-rc1 regression in the PL111 DRM driver in drivers/gpu/pl111/*The driver uses the CMA KMS helpers and will thus at some point call down to dma_alloc_attrs() to allocate a chunk of contigous DMA memory for the framebuffer. It appears that in v4.18, it was OK that this (and other DMA mastering AMBA devices) left dev->coherent_dma_mask blank (zero). In v4.19-rc1 the WARN_ON_ONCE(dev && !dev->coherent_dma_mask) in dma_alloc_attrs() in include/linux/dma-mapping.h is triggered. The allocation later fails when get_coherent_dma_mask() is called from __dma_alloc() and __dma_alloc() returns NULL: drm-clcd-pl111 dev:20: coherent DMA mask is unset drm-clcd-pl111 dev:20: [drm:drm_fb_helper_fbdev_setup] *ERROR* Failed to set fbdev configuration It turns out that in commit 4d8bde883bfb ("OF: Don't set default coherent DMA mask") the OF core stops setting the default DMA mask on new devices, especially those lines of the patch: - if (!dev->coherent_dma_mask) - dev->coherent_dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(32); Robin Murphy solved a similar problem in a5516219b102 ("of/platform: Initialise default DMA masks") by simply assigning dev.coherent_dma_mask and the dev.dma_mask to point to the same when creating devices from the device tree, and introducing the same code into the code path creating AMBA/PrimeCell devices solved my problem, graphics now come up.
Ugh, sorry - that commit really should have updated of_amba_device_create() at the same time, but thanks to the tangled history I managed to overlook it. And of course, the one PrimeCell device in my usual test system (PL330) gets an explicit coherent mask set by its driver so I didn't get the WARN() to remind me...
I see this is merged already, but after-the-fact Ack anyway. Apologies for the breakage, and thanks for fixing my mess :)
Robin.
The code simply assumes that the device can access all of the system memory by setting the coherent DMA mask to 0xffffffff when creating a device from the device tree, which is crude, but seems to be what kernel v4.18 assumed. The AMBA PrimeCells do not differ between coherent and streaming DMA so we can just assign the same to any DMA mask. Possibly drivers should augment their coherent DMA mask in accordance with "dma-ranges" from the device tree if more finegranular masking is needed.
