The HOST1X_CHANNEL_DMAEND is an offset relative to the value written to the HOST1X_CHANNEL_DMASTART register, but it is currently treated as an absolute address. This can cause SMMU faults if the CDMA fetches past a pushbuffer's IOMMU mapping. Properly setting the DMAEND prevents the CDMA from fetching beyond that address and avoid such issues. This is currently not observed because a whole (almost) page of essentially scratch space absorbs any excessive prefetching by CDMA. However, changing the number of slots in the push buffer can trigger these SMMU faults. Signed-off-by: Thierry Reding <treding@nvidia.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
