From 569975591c5530fdc9c7a3c45122e5e46f075a74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jake Moilanen Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2007 08:44:02 -0500 Subject: [POWERPC] DMA 4GB boundary protection There are many adapters which cannot handle DMAing across any 4 GB boundary. For instance, the latest Emulex adapters. This normally is not an issue as firmware gives dma-windows under 4gigs. However, some of the new System-P boxes have dma-windows above 4gigs, and this present a problem. During initialization of the IOMMU tables, the last entry at each 4GB boundary is marked as used. Thus no mappings can cross the boundary. If a table ends at a 4GB boundary, the entry is not marked as used. A boot option to remove this 4GB protection is given w/ protect4gb=off. This exposes the potential issue for driver and hardware development purposes.
