In the current market, the most used bridge chip on the Loongson platform
are RS780E and LS7A, the RS780E bridge chip is already supported by the
mainline kernel.
If use the default implementation of __phys_to_dma() and __dma_to_phys()
in dma-direct.h when CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PHYS_TO_DMA is not set, it works
well used with LS7A on the Loongson single-way and multi-way platform,
and also works well used with RS780E on the Loongson single-way platform,
but the DMA address will be wrong on the non-node0 used with RS780E on
the Loongson multi-way platform.
Just as the description in the code comment, the devices get node id from
40 bit of HyperTransport bus, so we extract 2 bit node id (bit 44~45) from
48 bit address space of Loongson CPU and embed it into HyperTransport bus
(bit 37-38), this operation can be done only at the software level used
with RS780E on the Loongson multi-way platform, because it has no hardware
function to translate address of node id, this is a hardware compatibility
problem.
Device
|
| DMA address
|
Host Bridge
|
| HT bus address (40 bit)
|
CPU
|
| physical address (48 bit)
|
RAM
The LS7A has dma_node_id_offset field in the DMA route config register,
the hardware can use the dma_node_id_offset to translate address of
node id automatically, so we can get correct address when just use the
dma_pfn_offset field in struct device.
For the above reasons, in order to maintain downward compatibility
to support the RS780E bridge chip, it is better to use the platform
dependent implementation of __phys_to_dma() and __dma_to_phys().

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.
