ALSA: memalloc: Workaround for Xen PV
We change recently the memalloc helper to use dma_alloc_noncontiguous() and the fallback to get_pages(). Although lots of issues with IOMMU (or non-IOMMU) have been addressed, but there seems still a regression on Xen PV. Interestingly, the only proper way to work is use dma_alloc_coherent(). The use of dma_alloc_coherent() for SG buffer was dropped as it's problematic on IOMMU systems. OTOH, Xen PV has a different way, and it's fine to use the dma_alloc_coherent(). This patch is a workaround for Xen PV. It consists of the following changes: - For Xen PV, use only the fallback allocation without dma_alloc_noncontiguous() - In the fallback allocation, use dma_alloc_coherent(); the DMA address from dma_alloc_coherent() is returned in get_addr ops - The DMA addresses are stored in an array; the first entry stores the number of allocated pages in lower bits, which are referred at releasing pages again Reported-by: Marek Marczykowski-Górecki <marmarek@invisiblethingslab.com> Tested-by: Marek Marczykowski-Górecki <marmarek@invisiblethingslab.com> Fixes: a8d302a0 ("ALSA: memalloc: Revive x86-specific WC page allocations again") Fixes: 9736a325 ("ALSA: memalloc: Don't fall back for SG-buffer with IOMMU") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/87tu256lqs.wl-tiwai@suse.de Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230125153104.5527-1-tiwai@suse.de Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
