The Broadcom STB PCIe host controller is intimately related to the
memory subsystem. This close relationship adds complexity to how cpu
system memory is mapped to PCIe memory. Ideally, this mapping is an
identity mapping, or an identity mapping off by a constant. Not so in
this case.
Consider the Broadcom reference board BCM97445LCC_4X8 which has 6 GB
of system memory. Here is how the PCIe controller maps the
system memory to PCIe memory:
memc0-a@[ 0....3fffffff] <=> pci@[ 0....3fffffff]
memc0-b@[100000000...13fffffff] <=> pci@[ 40000000....7fffffff]
memc1-a@[ 40000000....7fffffff] <=> pci@[ 80000000....bfffffff]
memc1-b@[300000000...33fffffff] <=> pci@[ c0000000....ffffffff]
memc2-a@[ 80000000....bfffffff] <=> pci@[100000000...13fffffff]
memc2-b@[c00000000...c3fffffff] <=> pci@[140000000...17fffffff]
Although there are some "gaps" that can be added between the
individual mappings by software, the permutation of memory regions for
the most part is fixed by HW. The solution of having something close
to an identity mapping is not possible.
The idea behind this HW design is that the same PCIe module can
act as an RC or EP, and if it acts as an EP it concatenates all
of system memory into a BAR so anything can be accessed. Unfortunately,
when the PCIe block is in the role of an RC it also presents this
"BAR" to downstream PCIe devices, rather than offering an identity map
between its system memory and PCIe space.
Suppose that an endpoint driver allocs some DMA memory. Suppose this
memory is located at 0x6000_0000, which is in the middle of memc1-a.
The driver wants a dma_addr_t value that it can pass on to the EP to
use. Without doing any custom mapping, the EP will use this value for
DMA: the driver will get a dma_addr_t equal to 0x6000_0000. But this
won't work; the device needs a dma_addr_t that reflects the PCIe space
address, namely 0xa000_0000.
So, essentially the solution to this problem must modify the
dma_addr_t returned by the DMA routines routines. The method to do
this is to redefine the __dma_to_phys() and __phys_to_dma() functions
of the ARM, ARM64, and MIPS architectures. This commit sets up the
infrastructure in the Brcm PCIe controller to prepare for this, while
there is three other subsequent commits to implement/redefine these
two functions for the three target architectures.

You mean encoding the memory controller index in the first cell? If that

No those are just memory addresses (although I may have screwed up the
order). From Documentation/devicetree/booting-without-of.txt:

Then I am confused by your comment, that's what this patch does, it adds
support for reading "dma-ranges" from Device Tree and setting up inbound
windows using that. The only caveat is that because the PCIe root
complex has some ties with the memory bus architecture it is connected
to (SCB in our case) there is still a requirement to know the
translation between a given physical address and its backing memory
controller/aperture.

not working for you? I haven't tried this myself, but since DT permits
describing the inbound mappings this way, we should fix the code if it
doesn't work at the moment.
You mean encoding the memory controller index in the first cell? If that
works, that's indeed a much cleaner solution, though is it standard
compliant in any form?
No those are just memory addresses (although I may have screwed up the
order). From Documentation/devicetree/booting-without-of.txt:
"""
Optional property:
- dma-ranges: <prop-encoded-array> encoded as arbitrary number of triplets of
(child-bus-address, parent-bus-address, length). Each triplet specified
describes a contiguous DMA address range.
"""
Then I am confused by your comment, that's what this patch does, it adds
support for reading "dma-ranges" from Device Tree and setting up inbound
windows using that. The only caveat is that because the PCIe root
complex has some ties with the memory bus architecture it is connected
to (SCB in our case) there is still a requirement to know the
translation between a given physical address and its backing memory
controller/aperture.
Ah ok, apologies for the noise then.
I was hoping that having working support for dma-ranges would remove
the need for the special phys<->dma conversion routines.

Sorry for my delay in responding. One problem is that

However, we often have multiple dma-ranges, not just one. This is the
big issue.
There is another issue with of_dma_configure() being invoked by the EP
driver on "bridge->parent->of_node", which is our RC device,
Of_dma_configure() calls of_dma_range() on the of_get_next_parent() of
our RC's device node and this misses the dma-ranges property which is

IIUC dma-ranges should be added to the parent bus of a device, which I
guess is slightly ambiguous for a root complex that incorporates a
host bridge.
Humm, why is that ambiguous for a host bridge/root complex?

The Broadcom STB PCIe host controller is intimately related to the
memory subsystem. This close relationship adds complexity to how cpu
system memory is mapped to PCIe memory. Ideally, this mapping is an
identity mapping, or an identity mapping off by a constant. Not so in
this case.
Consider the Broadcom reference board BCM97445LCC_4X8 which has 6 GB
of system memory. Here is how the PCIe controller maps the
system memory to PCIe memory:
memc0-a@[ 0....3fffffff] <=> pci@[ 0....3fffffff]
memc0-b@[100000000...13fffffff] <=> pci@[ 40000000....7fffffff]
memc1-a@[ 40000000....7fffffff] <=> pci@[ 80000000....bfffffff]
memc1-b@[300000000...33fffffff] <=> pci@[ c0000000....ffffffff]
memc2-a@[ 80000000....bfffffff] <=> pci@[100000000...13fffffff]
memc2-b@[c00000000...c3fffffff] <=> pci@[140000000...17fffffff]
So is describing this as
dma-ranges = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x40000000>,
<0x0 0x40000000 0x1 0x0 0x0 0x40000000>,

not working for you? I haven't tried this myself, but since DT permits
describing the inbound mappings this way, we should fix the code if it
doesn't work at the moment.
You mean encoding the memory controller index in the first cell? If that
works, that's indeed a much cleaner solution, though is it standard
compliant in any form?
No those are just memory addresses (although I may have screwed up the
order). From Documentation/devicetree/booting-without-of.txt:
"""
Optional property:
- dma-ranges: <prop-encoded-array> encoded as arbitrary number of triplets of
(child-bus-address, parent-bus-address, length). Each triplet specified
describes a contiguous DMA address range.
"""
Then I am confused by your comment, that's what this patch does, it adds
support for reading "dma-ranges" from Device Tree and setting up inbound
windows using that. The only caveat is that because the PCIe root
complex has some ties with the memory bus architecture it is connected
to (SCB in our case) there is still a requirement to know the
translation between a given physical address and its backing memory
controller/aperture.
Ah ok, apologies for the noise then.
I was hoping that having working support for dma-ranges would remove
the need for the special phys<->dma conversion routines.
What you describe definitively works with platform devices, but I am not
sure this is working for PCIe devices, although, conceptually it should,
yes.
Sorry for my delay in responding. One problem is that
of_dma_configure() only looks at the first dma-range given and then
converts it to dev->dma_pfn_offset which is respected by the DMA API.
However, we often have multiple dma-ranges, not just one. This is the
big issue.
Given the recent attention to getting these APIs in shape, this may be
something Robin or Christoph may care to look into?
It looks like this has been brought up before in the "[RFC PATCH] of:
Fix DMA configuration for non-DT masters" thread aka
https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/iommu/2017-April/021325.html
In the thread "Oza Oza", a Broadcom coworker probably dealing with the
same exact problem as I, enumerates three problems. #1 and #2 are
the exact same ones I've just given: the "dma-ranges" prop of the RC
DT node is "skipped", and of_dma_get_range() only considers the first
entry in any "dma-ranges".
Robin, is that something that is expected or should the "dma-ranges"
somehow propagate from host bridge down the PCIe end-point drivers?

There is another issue with of_dma_configure() being invoked by the EP
driver on "bridge->parent->of_node", which is our RC device,
Of_dma_configure() calls of_dma_range() on the of_get_next_parent() of
our RC's device node and this misses the dma-ranges property which is
contained within the RC. I think I could workaround this but there is
no getting around the first problem.
IIUC dma-ranges should be added to the parent bus of a device, which I

Humm, why is that ambiguous for a host bridge/root complex?
Well, perhaps I am the only one who is slightly confused by this, but
the fact that the device node describes both the host bridge and the
root port/bridge (which is arguably a device behind the bus) makes it
somewhat non-intuitive to me.

Is this the way we should go? If the PCIe root complex has a

behind it get that translation applied as well? Right now we tried to
follow Christoph's recommendations from the v1 through v4 submissions,
but that does not really seem to be working well.
I am really not a fan of having to go audit every architecture, and
possibly insert the right translation in there, while introducing a
possible layering problem too...

are there any plans to release a new version of this series?
The Raspberry Pi 4 uses a similiar PCIe controller, so it would be nice
to get this upstream. Unfortunately i have no clue about PCI, so i the
only thing i can do is testing.
