[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: hda - allow 40 bit DMA mask for NVidia devices
Commit 49d9e77e72cf ("ALSA: hda - Fix system panic when DMA > 40 bits for Nvidia audio controllers") simply disabled any DMA exceeding 32 bits for NVidia devices, even though they are capable of performing DMA up to 40 bits. On some architectures (such as arm64), system memory is not guaranteed to be 32-bit addressable by PCI devices, and so this change prevents NVidia devices from working on platforms such as AMD Seattle.
Since the original commit already mentioned that up to 40 bits of DMA is supported, and given that the code has been updated in the meantime to support a 40 bit DMA mask on other devices, revert commit 49d9e77e72cf and explicitly set the DMA mask to 40 bits for NVidia devices.

Thanks, applied. Since this seems causing a real problem, I added Cc to stable.

Have you tested this change on a system which has physical addressing > 40 bits to insure that addresses > 40 bits are not simply truncated to an incorrect (mod 40) address? By not restricting the addresses to 32 bits you are not restricting the device to the DMA32 zone.
This is what caused the original panic on UV systems.
Btw, the newest nVidia GPUs have > 40 bits of DMA address bits.

The device should never see addresses > 40 bits, given that the DMA mask is set to 40 bits not 64.

I agree that the device should never see that. But how is that restriction imposed? If a user presents an buffer address > 40 bits how would that be converted to useful buffer at <= 40 bits?
I believe I tried this (at the time the kernel was at version 2.6) and it did not work. Since audio I/O was such a low (relative) bandwidth, it was not worth the effort to rework the audio code to allow buffers > 32 bits but <= 40 bits. It may have changed since then?

This is very platform dependent. Note that the 40 bit DMA mask describes the memory view from the PCI side, which may not be mapped 1:1 with system memory (although it usually is on x86)
In general, a platform will wire up the device to a struct dma_map_ops {} instance that describes how DMA is performed for this particular device on this platform. Whether it resorts to bounce buffering or simply maps the buffer into the device accessible window using an IOMMU is thus also platform dependent. But in general, all these drivers ensure that the device address that results from a mapping adheres to the DMA mask that has been set at probe time.

This is what caused the original panic on UV systems.
But shouldn't it be handled properly by dma_set_mask() and dma_set_coherent_mask()?
