From 217bbd81885587b462311fab1b04172926c59f1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Schmitz Date: Mon, 1 Nov 2010 19:54:00 +0100 Subject: m68k/atari: Reserve some ST-RAM early on for device buffer use Based on an original patch from Michael Schmitz: Because mem_init() is now called before device init, devices that rely on ST-RAM may find all ST-RAM already allocated to other users by the time device init happens. In particular, a large initrd RAM disk may use up enough of ST-RAM to cause atari_stram_alloc() to resort to __get_dma_pages() allocation. In the current state of Atari memory management, all of RAM is marked DMA capable, so __get_dma_pages() may well return RAM that is not in actual fact DMA capable. Using this for frame buffer or SCSI DMA buffer causes subtle failure. The ST-RAM allocator has been changed to allocate memory from a pool of reserved ST-RAM of configurable size, set aside on ST-RAM init (i.e. before mem_init()). As long as this pool is not exhausted, allocation of real ST-RAM can be guaranteed. Other changes: - Replace the custom allocator in the ST-RAM pool by the existing allocator in the resource subsystem, - Remove mem_init_done and its hook, as memory init is now done before device init, - Remove /proc/stram, as ST-RAM usage now shows up under /proc/iomem, e.g. 005f2000-006f1fff : ST-RAM Pool 005f2000-0063dfff : atafb 0063e000-00641fff : ataflop 00642000-00642fff : SCSI Signed-off-by: Michael Schmitz [Andreas Schwab : Use memparse()] [Geert: Use the resource subsystem instead of a custom allocator] Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven --- arch/m68k/include/asm/atari_stram.h | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'arch/m68k/include/asm/atari_stram.h') diff --git a/arch/m68k/include/asm/atari_stram.h b/arch/m68k/include/asm/atari_stram.h index 7546d13963be..62e27598af91 100644 --- a/arch/m68k/include/asm/atari_stram.h +++ b/arch/m68k/include/asm/atari_stram.h @@ -6,12 +6,11 @@ */ /* public interface */ -void *atari_stram_alloc(long size, const char *owner); +void *atari_stram_alloc(unsigned long size, const char *owner); void atari_stram_free(void *); /* functions called internally by other parts of the kernel */ void atari_stram_init(void); void atari_stram_reserve_pages(void *start_mem); -void atari_stram_mem_init_hook (void); #endif /*_M68K_ATARI_STRAM_H */ -- cgit v1.2.3
