Initial post from Laurent Pinchart[1]. This is series calls the dma ops configuration for the devices at a generic place so that it works for all busses. The dma_configure_ops for a device is now called during the device_attach callback just before the probe of the bus/driver is called. Similarly dma_deconfigure is called during device/driver_detach path. pci_bus_add_devices (platform/amba)(_device_create/driver_register) | | pci_bus_add_device (device_add/driver_register) | | device_attach device_initial_probe | | __device_attach_driver __device_attach_driver | driver_probe_device | really_probe | dma_configure Similarly on the device/driver_unregister path __device_release_driver is called which inturn calls dma_deconfigure. If the ACPI bus code follows the same, we can add acpi_dma_configure at the same place as of_dma_configure. This series is based on the recently merged Generic DT bindings for PCI IOMMUs and ARM SMMU from Robin Murphy robin.murphy at arm.com [2] This time tested this with platform and pci device for probe deferral and reprobe on arm64 based platform. There is an issue on the cleanup path for arm64 though, where there is WARN_ON if the dma_ops is reset while device is attached to an domain in arch_teardown_dma_ops. But with iommu_groups created from the iommu driver, the device is always attached to a domain/default_domain. So so the WARN has to be removed/handled probably.Thanks for continuing work on this feature! Your can add my: Tested-by: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@samsung.com>Thanks for testing this. So the for the below fix, the remove_device callback gets called on the dma_ops cleanup path, so would it be easy to remove the data for the device there ?I assumed that IOMMU driver cannot be removed reliably, so all structures that it creates are permanent. I didn't use device_add()/device_remove() callbacks, because in current implementation device_add() is called too late (after dma-mapping glue triggers device_attach_iommu()). Maybe once your patchset is merged, I will move creation and management of the all IOMMU related structures to device_add/remove callbacks.
ok understand it. Regards, Sricharan
