Loongson CPUs maintain cache coherency by hardware, which means that the
data in the CPU cache is identical to the data in main system memory. As
for the peripheral device, most of Loongson chips chose to define the
peripherals as DMA coherent by default, device drivers do not need to
maintain the coherency between a processor and an I/O device manually.

There are exceptions, for LS2K1000 SoC, part of peripheral device can be
configured as DMA non-coherent. But there is no released version of such
firmware exist in the market. Peripherals of older LS2K1000 is also DMA
non-coherent, but they are nearly outdated. So, those are trivial cases.

Nevertheless, kernel space still need to do the probe work, because vivante
GPU IP has been integrated into various platform. Hence, this patch add
runtime detection code to probe if a specific GPU is DMA coherent, If the
answer is yes, we are going to utilize such features. On Loongson platform,
When a buffer is accessed by both the GPU and the CPU, the driver should
prefer ETNA_BO_CACHED over ETNA_BO_WC.

This patch also add a new parameter: etnaviv_param_gpu_coherent, which
allow userspace to know if such a feature is available. Because
write-combined BO is still preferred in some case, especially where don't
need CPU read, for example, uploading compiled shader bin.

1)

The driver can not pass the compile, without include the linux/dma-map-ops.h


You may be right, but Lucas suggest using dev_is_dma_coherent() function.

because the dev_is_dma_coherent() function is defined in dma-map-ops.h.


for our platform its:


```

static inline bool dev_is_dma_coherent(struct device *dev)
{
    return true;
}

```

2. drm/exynos and drm/msm also include this handler


```

$ cd drivers/gpu/drm

$ find . -name "*.c" -type f | xargs grep "dma-map-ops.h"

./exynos/exynos_drm_dma.c:#include <linux/dma-map-ops.h>
./msm/msm_gem.c:#include <linux/dma-map-ops.h>

Please use device_get_dma_attr() like other well-behaved drivers.

OK, I agree with you.


```

priv->dma_coherent = device_get_dma_attr(&pdev->dev) == DEV_DMA_COHERENT;

```

Lucas,  Is above code Snippet looks fine to you?

TBH the existing condition already looks a bit sketchy - even if userspace has a non-cacheable mapping, a DMA sync may need to do things other than cache maintenance - but this change certainly isn't making things any better. If you can demonstrate a *measurable* and significant overhead from calling dma_sync_sgtable_*() on your platform when the device is coherent and nothing is bounce-buffered, then the first thing we can do is look at making that quicker (for everyone). Otherwise, this seems like the famous bad kind of premature optimisation.

OK, I agree with you, both you and Lucas told to remove this.

I will remove this at next version.


It doesn't hurt much to the performance. On our platform, the performance is GPU bound.


Thanks,
Robin.
