Description Stefan Meyer 2006-11-09 22:00:36 UTC
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur:2.6.18.2
Hardware Environment: Embedded MPC8347E-PowerPC with 512MByte DDRAM
Software Environment: Linux
Problem Description: USB EHCI-FSL-HOST driver would give inconsistent errors 
when system has more tahn 256MByte RAM installed 

Steps to reproduce: Install more than 256MByte memory
Applying the patch below fix the problem:

No, we're asking in which kernel did this *not* occur.

Well it looks simple. What does that do?

According to the comment it affects the PHY interface.

Now, how a PHY could care about DMA ...

If that 0x1c is related to physical memory size, it
probably shouldn't be hard-wired like that.

Comment 4 Stefan Meyer 2006-11-09 23:53:53 UTC
Hi Andrew
I am not much of an expert, but according to the datasheets the Snoop1 &
Snoop2 registers create a coherent DMA window (I presume for the use of USB
related DMA).
The current setting of  0x0000001b creates a window starting at 0x00000000
with a length of 256MByte.
Changing it to 0x0000001C creates a 512MByte windows (this was of course a
non-generic quick fix).
Running with anything up to 256MByte is fine.
My system has 512MByte and it took quite a bit of chasing to find this
issue.

Hope that helps

Regards
Stefan Meyer

A better patch would (a) fix the comment which says both lines of
code affects the PHY, (b) not hard-wire the amount of memory on
the system.

Assuming it's possible to put non-cacheable memory into that chunk
of address space (memory mapped peripherals etc) then it's dangerous
to hard-wire _any_ value.

Not from what I can tell.  I cc'd the Freescale person who seems
to be maintaining EHCI on that platform ...

I see.  The complete fix that I expect is to set snooping on the whole
4G memory space as fsl_usb2_udc did.  Also, we need to take care of the
case that the Soc used on architectures other than powerpc which don't
have snooping mechanism.

Shall I provide a patch to fix this?

Here is the patch to fix it.


From: Li Yang <LeoLi@freescale.com>
Date: Mon, 21 May 2007 13:08:57 +0800
Subject: [PATCH] ehci-fsl: fix cache coherency problem on system with large memory

The patch fix bug http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7482.
It sets USB snooping on 4G space for PowerPC platforms without
CONFIG_NOT_COHERENT_CACHE defined.
