The de facto (and apparently uncommented) standard for using an mm had,
thanks to this code in sparc if nothing else, been that you must have a
reference on mm_users *and that reference must have been obtained with
mmget()*, i.e., from a thread with a reference to mm_users that had used
the mm.
Commit 0cef77c7798a7 ("powerpc/64s/radix: flush remote CPUs out of

a process under certain conditions. One of the assumptions is that

Some functions assume IOMMU page size can only be 4K (pageshift == 12).
Update them to accept any page size passed, so we can use 64K pages.
In the process, some defines like TCE_SHIFT were made obsolete, and then
removed. TCE_RPN_MASK was updated to generate a mask according to
the pageshift
Both iommu_alloc_coherent() and iommu_free_coherent() assume that once
size is aligned to PAGE_SIZE it will be aligned to IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE.
Update those functions to guarantee alignment with requested size
using IOMMU_PAGE_ALIGN() before doing iommu_alloc() / iommu_free().
Also, on
Code used to create a ddw property that was previously scattered in
enable_ddw() is now gathered in ddw_property_create(), which deals with
allocation and filling the property, letting it ready for
of_property_add(), which now occurs in sequence.
This created an opportunity to reorganize the
enable_ddw() currently returns the address of the DMA window, which is
considered invalid if has the value 0x00.
Also, it only considers valid an address returned from find_existing_ddw
if it's not 0x00.
Changing this behavior makes sense, given the users of enable_ddw() only
need to know if
There are two functions adding DDW to the direct_window_list in a
similar way, so create a ddw_list_add() to avoid duplicity and
simplify those functions.
Also, on enable_ddw(), add list_del() on out_free_window to allow
removing the window from list if any error occurs.

A previous change introduced the usage of DDW as a bigger indirect DMA
mapping when the DDW available size does not map the whole partition.
As most of the code that manipulates direct mappings was reused for
indirect mappings, it's necessary to rename all names and debug/info
messages to reflect
As of today, if the biggest DDW that can be created can't map the whole
partition, it's creation is skipped and the default DMA window
"ibm,dma-window" is used instead.
DDW is 16x bigger than the default DMA window, having the same amount of
pages, but increasing the page size to 64k.

I've got to say I agree
As of today, doing iommu_range_alloc() only for !largealloc (npages <= 15)
will only be able to use 3/4 of the available pages, given pages on
largepool not being available for !largealloc.
This could mean some drivers not being able to fully use all the available

Having a function to check if the iommu table has any allocation helps
deciding if a tbl can be reset for using a new DMA window.
It should be enough to replace all instances of !bitmap_empty(tbl...).
iommu_table_in_use() skips reserved memory, so we don't need to worry about
releasing it before
Creates a helper to allow allocating a new iommu_table without the need
to reallocate the iommu_group.
This will be helpful for replacing the iommu_table for the new DMA window,
after we remove the old one with iommu_tce_table_put().

default_file_splice_write is the last piece of generic code that uses
set_fs to make the uaccess routines operate on kernel pointers. It
implements a "fallback loop" for splicing from files that do not actually
provide a proper splice_read method. The usual file systems and other

There is no good reason to implement both the traditional ->read and
->write as well as the iter based ops. So implement just the iter
based ones.

Hello
I compiled the RC1 of kernel 5.9 today. Unfortunately the issue with the
VirtIO-GPU (see below) still exists. Therefore we still need the patch
(see below) for using the VirtIO-GPU in a virtual e5500 PPC64 QEMU machine.
Could you please check the first bad commit?
Thanks
Christian
Patch #1 fixes a bug about watchpoint not firing when created with
ptrace PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG and CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT=N.
The fix uses HW_BRK_TYPE_PRIV_ALL for ptrace user which, I
guess, should be fine because we don't leak any kernel
addresses and
On powerpc, ptrace watchpoint works in one-shot mode. i.e. kernel
disables event every time it fires and user has to re-enable it.
Also, in case of ptrace watchpoint, kernel notifies ptrace user
before executing instruction.
With CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT=N, kernel is missing to disable
ptrace
Introduce tests to cover simple scenarios where user is watching
memory which can be accessed by kernel as well. We also support
_MODE_EXACT with _SETHWDEBUG interface. Move those testcases out-
side of _BP_RANGE condition. This will help to test _MODE_EXACT
scenarios when
