+MIME-Version: 1.0

+
+commit bddac7c1e02ba47f0570e494c9289acea3062cc1 upstream.
+
+This reverts commit aa6f8dcbab473f3a3c7454b74caa46d36cdc5d13.
+
+It turns out this breaks at least the ath9k wireless driver, and
+possibly others.
+
+What the ath9k driver does on packet receive is to set up the DMA
+transfer with:
+
+  int ath_rx_init(..)
+  ..
+                bf->bf_buf_addr = dma_map_single(sc->dev, skb->data,
+                                                 common->rx_bufsize,
+                                                 DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
+
+and then the receive logic (through ath_rx_tasklet()) will fetch
+incoming packets
+
+  static bool ath_edma_get_buffers(..)
+  ..
+        dma_sync_single_for_cpu(sc->dev, bf->bf_buf_addr,
+                                common->rx_bufsize, DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
+
+        ret = ath9k_hw_process_rxdesc_edma(ah, rs, skb->data);
+        if (ret == -EINPROGRESS) {
+                /*let device gain the buffer again*/
+                dma_sync_single_for_device(sc->dev, bf->bf_buf_addr,
+                                common->rx_bufsize, DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
+                return false;
+        }
+
+and it's worth noting how that first DMA sync:
+
+    dma_sync_single_for_cpu(..DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
+
+is there to make sure the CPU can read the DMA buffer (possibly by
+copying it from the bounce buffer area, or by doing some cache flush).
+The iommu correctly turns that into a "copy from bounce bufer" so that
+the driver can look at the state of the packets.
+
+In the meantime, the device may continue to write to the DMA buffer, but
+we at least have a snapshot of the state due to that first DMA sync.
+
+But that _second_ DMA sync:
+
+    dma_sync_single_for_device(..DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
+
+is telling the DMA mapping that the CPU wasn't interested in the area
+because the packet wasn't there.  In the case of a DMA bounce buffer,
+that is a no-op.
+
+Note how it's not a sync for the CPU (the "for_device()" part), and it's
+not a sync for data written by the CPU (the "DMA_FROM_DEVICE" part).
+
+Or rather, it _should_ be a no-op.  That's what commit aa6f8dcbab47
+broke: it made the code bounce the buffer unconditionally, and changed
+the DMA_FROM_DEVICE to just unconditionally and illogically be
+DMA_TO_DEVICE.
+
+[ Side note: purely within the confines of the swiotlb driver it wasn't
+  entirely illogical: The reason it did that odd DMA_FROM_DEVICE ->
+  DMA_TO_DEVICE conversion thing is because inside the swiotlb driver,
+  it uses just a swiotlb_bounce() helper that doesn't care about the
+  whole distinction of who the sync is for - only which direction to
+  bounce.
+
+  So it took the "sync for device" to mean that the CPU must have been
+  the one writing, and thought it meant DMA_TO_DEVICE. ]
+
+Also note how the commentary in that commit was wrong, probably due to
+that whole confusion, claiming that the commit makes the swiotlb code
+
+                                  "bounce unconditionally (that is, also
+    when dir == DMA_TO_DEVICE) in order do avoid synchronising back stale
+    data from the swiotlb buffer"
+
+which is nonsensical for two reasons:
+
+ - that "also when dir == DMA_TO_DEVICE" is nonsensical, as that was
+   exactly when it always did - and should do - the bounce.
+
+ - since this is a sync for the device (not for the CPU), we're clearly
+   fundamentally not coping back stale data from the bounce buffers at
+   all, because we'd be copying *to* the bounce buffers.
+
+So that commit was just very confused.  It confused the direction of the
+synchronization (to the device, not the cpu) with the direction of the
+DMA (from the device).
