Description Roland 2019-10-15 14:36:12 UTC
Hardware environment:
AmigaOne X5000/20 (2 GHz), 8 GB RAM
Dawicontrol DC-2976 UW SCSI controller board (PCI) 

Linux distro: Ubuntu 16,04.6, Debian 8, Fienix (Not relevant, problem appears before loading starts).

Description: Booting halts immediately after loading the kernel, if  Dawicontrol DC-2976 UW SCSI boad is installed in the machine. If the RAM size is limited to 3500MB (with U-boot variable 'mem=3500M'), booting continues normally.

Steps to reproduce: Turn on the machine.
Comment 1 Christian Zigotzky 2019-10-16 21:48:17 UTC
I have the same problem with my analog PCI TV card Typhoon TView RDS + FM Stereo (BT878 chip) in my AmigaOne X5000. It only works with reducing the mem size to 3500MB (mem=3500M).
I figured out that the issue is somewhere in the PowerPC updates 4.21-1 [1]. Maybe the code change in the file "arch/powerpc/kernel/dma-swiotlb.c" [2] or maybe the change in the file "arch/powerpc/kernel/dma.c" [3].

Comment 2 Christian Zigotzky 2019-10-29 23:45:54 UTC
Error message without limitation to 3.5G RAM:

[   25.654852] bttv 1000:04:05.0: overflow 0x00000000fe077000+4096 of DMA mask ffffffff bus mask df000000

The kernel configured the bttv card for DMA in the upper region of RAM but the device believes that it only supports 32-bit addressing.

Can you bisect to identify the faulting commit ?
Comment 4 Christian Zigotzky 2019-11-05 14:33:31 UTC
Yes, I can. Could you please post the correct commits for starting bisect?

git bisect start

git bisect good ?

git bisect bad ?

Thanks
Comment 5 Christophe Leroy 2019-11-05 14:47:08 UTC
I guess:

git bisect bad 8d6973327
git bisect good v4.20
Comment 6 Christian Zigotzky 2019-11-06 19:36:15 UTC
FYI because of the issue with some PCI cards (SCSI, TV cards etc):

Subject: dma-direct: check for overflows on 32 bit DMA addresses

As seen on the new Raspberry Pi 4 and sta2x11's DMA implementation it is
possible for a device configured with 32 bit DMA addresses and a partial
DMA mapping located at the end of the address space to overflow. It
happens when a higher physical address, not DMAable, is translated to
it's DMA counterpart.

For example the Raspberry Pi 4, configurable up to 4 GB of memory, has
an interconnect capable of addressing the lower 1 GB of physical memory
with a DMA offset of 0xc0000000. It transpires that, any attempt to
translate physical addresses higher than the first GB will result in an
overflow which dma_capable() can't detect as it only checks for
addresses bigger then the maximum allowed DMA address.

Fix this by verifying in dma_capable() if the DMA address range provided
is at any point lower than the minimum possible DMA address on the bus.

Do you have another patch for testing or shall I bisect?

Comment 12 Christian Zigotzky 2019-11-11 07:38:01 UTC
Hi Christoph,

I have seen that I have activated the kernel config option CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT. That means your code in your patch won't work if this kernel option is enabled.

+#ifndef CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT
+    /* Check if DMA address overflowed */
+    if (min(addr, addr + size - 1) <
+        __phys_to_dma(dev, (phys_addr_t)(min_low_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT)))
+        return false;
+#endif

I will delete the lines with ifndef and endif and will try it again.

Cheers,
Christian

Patch for renaming the GFP_DMA32 to GFP_DMA

Hi All,

The issue with the BT878 TV cards is solved. :-)

GFP_DMA32 was renamed to GFP_DMA in the PowerPC updates 4.21-1 in 
December last year.

Some PCI devices still use GFP_DMA32 (grep -r GFP_DMA32 *). I renamed 
GFP_DMA32 to GFP_DMA in the file 
"drivers/media/v4l2-core/videobuf-dma-sg.c". After compiling the RC7 of 
kernel 5.4, my BT878 TV card works again.

I created a patch for renaming GFP_DMA32 to GFP_DMA.

This patch doesn't solve the issue with the Dawicontrol DC-2976 UW SCSI board. Please help us to solve the issue with the SCSI board too.

Cheers,
Christian
Comment 15 Christian Zigotzky 2019-11-16 06:48:21 UTC
FYI: Souce files of the Dawicontrol DC 2976 UW SCSI board (PCI): https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2?h=v5.4-rc7

/*
 *  DMA addressing mode.
 *
 *  0 : 32 bit addressing for all chips.
 *  1 : 40 bit addressing when supported by chip.
 *  2 : 64 bit addressing when supported by chip,
 *      limited to 16 segments of 4 GB -> 64 GB max.
 */
#define   SYM_CONF_DMA_ADDRESSING_MODE CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_DMA_ADDRESSING_MODE

Cyrus config:

CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_DMA_ADDRESSING_MODE=1

I will configure “0 : 32 bit addressing for all chips” for the RC8. Maybe this is the solution.

dmesg of Christoph's Git kernel

Christoph Hellwig wrote:

I think we have two sorta overlapping issues here.  One is that I think
we need the bus_dma_limit, which should mostly help for something like
a SCSI controller that doesn't need streaming mappings (btw, do we
have more details on that somewhere?).

And something weird with the videobuf things.  Your change of the dma
masks suggests that the driver doesn't do the right allocations and thus
hits bounce buffering (swiotlb).  We should fix that for real, but the
fact that the bounce buffering itself also fails is even more interesting.

Can you try this git branch:

Hello Christoph,

Comment 17 Roland 2020-01-10 10:15:11 UTC
Kernel 5.5 alpha 1 fixed the issue with Dawicontrol DC-2976 UW SCSI board. Also a RTL 8169 ethernet card which had similar type of problem with earlier kernels works now with full (8 GB) Ram.
