[SCSI] dc395x: dynamically map scatter-gather for PIO
The current dc395x driver uses PIO to transfer up to 4 bytes which do not get transferred by DMA (under unclear circumstances). For this the driver uses page_address() which is broken on highmem. Apart from this the actual calculation of the virtual address is wrong (even without highmem). So, e.g., for reading it reads bytes from the driver to a wrong address and returns wrong data, I guess, for writing it would just output random data to the device. The proper fix, as suggested by many, is to dynamically map data using kmap_atomic(page, KM_BIO_SRC_IRQ) / kunmap_atomic(virt). The reason why it has not been done until now, although I've done some preliminary patches more than a year ago was that nobody interested in fixing this problem was able to reliably reproduce it. Now it changed - with the help from Sebastian Frei (CC'ed) I was able to trigger the PIO path. Thus, I was also able to test and debug it. There are 4 cases when PIO is used in dc395x - data-in / -out with and without scatter-gather. I was able to reproduce and test only data-in with and without SG. So, the data-out path is still untested, but it is also somewhat simpler than the data-in. Fredrik Roubert (also CC'ed) also had PIO triggering on his system, and in his case it was data-out without SG. It would be great if he could test the attached patch on his system, but even if he cannot, I would still request to apply the patch and just wait if anybody cries... Implementation: I put 2 new functions in scsi_lib.c and their declarations in scsi_cmnd.h. I exported them without _GPL, although, I don't feel strongly about that - not many drivers are likely to use them. But there is at least one more - I want to use them in tmscsim.c. Whether these are the right files for the functions and their declarations - not sure either. Actually, they are not scsi-specific, so, might go somewhere around other scattergather magic? They are not platform specific either, and most SG functions are defined under arch/*/... As these issues were discussed previously there were some more routines suggested to manipulate scattergather buffers, I think, some of them were needed around crypto code... So, might be a common place reasonable, like lib/scattergather.c? I am open here. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
