The IODA2 specification says that a 64 DMA address cannot use top 4 bits (3 are reserved and one is a "TVE select"); bottom page_shift bits cannot be used for multilevel table addressing either.
The existing IODA2 table allocation code aligns the minimum TCE table size to PAGE_SIZE so in the case of 64K system pages and 4K IOMMU pages, we have 64-4-12=48 bits. Since 64K page stores 8192 TCEs, i.e. needs 13 bits, the maximum number of levels is 48/13 = 3 so we physically cannot address more and EEH happens on DMA accesses. This adds a check that too many levels were requested. It is still possible to have 5 levels in the case of 4K system page size. Signed-off-by: Alexey Kardashevskiy <a...@ozlabs.ru> --- The alternative would be allocating TCE tables as big as PAGE_SIZE but only using parts of it but this would complicate a bit bits of code responsible for overall amount of memory used for TCE table. Or kmem_cache_create() could be used to allocate as big TCE table levels as we really need but that API does not seem to support NUMA nodes. In the reality, even 3 levels give us way too much addressable memory. --- arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/pci-ioda.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/pci-ioda.c b/arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/pci-ioda.c index 24fa2de2a0af..1e92ec954321 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/pci-ioda.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/pci-ioda.c @@ -2631,6 +2631,9 @@ static long pnv_pci_ioda2_table_alloc_pages(int nid, __u64 bus_offset, level_shift = entries_shift + 3; level_shift = max_t(unsigned, level_shift, PAGE_SHIFT); + if ((level_shift - 3) * levels + page_shift >= 60) + return -EINVAL; + /* Allocate TCE table */ addr = pnv_pci_ioda2_table_do_alloc_pages(nid, level_shift, levels, tce_table_size, &offset, &total_allocated); -- 2.11.0
