Sorry for missing this discussion. I think compile-time disabling of the
cache is too brutal.
ehci-hcd cache handling is broken anyway: doing unaligned
flushes/invalidates is a bug, and we know for sure that upper layers
don't care about alignment (and I bet ehci-hcd does this even for its
internal buffers). So what's the point in all this cache handling in
ehci-hcd? It's not going to work anyway and just produces problems. So I
suggest to just disable all this stuff until generic code will be fixed.
Alternatively we can do bounce-buffering inside driver.
We should rather introduce generic bounce buffer. But the upper layers are
getting fixed recently so we should be getting there.
Really? Don't forget my old patch [1] then ;)
Still I think we should rip off all the cache stuff from ehci-hcd until
all patches for upper layers are included. Again, this stuff doesn't do
proper things now anyway and USB won't work with dcache enabled.
BTW, I think this was under #ifdef CONFIG_EHCI_DCACHE last time looked
at it. Was this changed by your commit? I think that's the source of the
problem this series tries to address: you've taken buggy code out of
#ifdef ;) I think it's better to just put it back until upper layers
won't be fixed.
Regards, Ilya.
