Re: [RFC PATCH v1] memory: tegra: Block DMA for clients HW on a faulty memory access

From: Mikko Perttunen <hidden>

One potential issue is with host1x clients where userspace processes can 
submit jobs with invalid memory accesses (addresses not mapped to 
IOMMU). If when such a failure happens, we disable the DMA for the whole 
host1x client, unrelated userspace processes may see failures even 
though there is no problem with their jobs.

Currently Memory Controller informs about erroneous memory accesses done

that corresponds to the misbehaving memory client in order to try to avoid
memory corruptions and to stop deliberate attempts of manipulation by a
misbehaving client.
Guys, any comments? That is a kinda useful feature, in worst case only some of
memory could get corrupted instead of trashing the whole memory. In my
experience with T20/30, the interrupt handling latency is low and blocking
happens immediately after the first page fault.
