DMA Controller on the IDT switch unable to access Tegra tx2 system memory address

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson TX2
#1

We have a set up with tegra Tx2 running Jetpack 3.3 connected on one of the pcie ports of the switch configured as upstream with DMA,

We disabled smmu from the Pcie controller in dts file

The DMA of the IDT switch is enumerated as function 2 of the switch and the config space is mapped to BAR0. The DMA requires descriptor address, source address and destination address .

As to start we wanted to transfer from memory within the host with dma on the IDT switch.
We have allocated memory from pci_alloc_coherent for descriptor, source and destination ( Ex desc 0xfe000000, 0xfec00000, 0xfed00000 resp and provided the physical addresses to the DMA mapped on BAR0

The issue we are facing is the DMA controller is unable to see the Host memory as we see “unsupported request”.

  1. We wanted to know do we need to expose the whole system memory to the end device using the device tree dma-range for address translation?
  2. what are the possible setting we need to check ?

Hello,

I see you marked your question as answered, may I ask what the answers were to your questions?

Hi Andy,

Sorry i didn’t realize i marked as answered.I corrected it. I still didn’t get answer to my question.

#4

Whatever you are trying to do should work with SMMU enabled as well (and of course it can work with SMMU disabled). When you say, you are writing descriptor, source and destination addresses to BAR-0 (which is where I assume DMA controller registers are present) of Function-2, how are you writing them exactly? do you have a device driver for Function-2 which takes care of it? If yes, can you please share the driver privately for us to take a look at it? (You can send it as a message in this forum to me). If not, are you sure that you are enabling bus mastering for Function-2?

#5

Yes bus mastering is enabled in type 0 configuration register of DMA controller PCI cmd register value 0x100007

how are you writing them exactly?
Ans=>

  1. created pool

    /*

    • Create the DMA coherent memory desc pool
      */
      idt_dev->desc_pool = pci_pool_create(“idt_desc_pool”, idt_dev->pdev,
      sizeof(struct idt_g2_dma_desc),
      IDT_G2_DMA_DESC_ALIGN,
      IDT_G2_DMA_DESC_BOUNDARY);
      if (!idt_dev->desc_pool) {
      DMA_LOG_ERR("%s: Failed to create DMA coherent memory pool \n",
      FUNCTION);
      rval = -ENOMEM;
      goto lerror;
      }
  2.  hwdesc = pci_pool_alloc(idt_dev->desc_pool, GFP_KERNEL, &phys);

Allocating hwdesc buffer address to hold 8 Dword descriptor info. got physical address 0xFC202000 (descriptor address )

  1. To start with i did immediate data transfer ( IDT switch DMA supports this ) We were trying to copy 8 bytes using DMA to destination address physical address dst_buf = kzalloc(MEM_SIZE, GFP_ATOMIC);
    DEST Address 0xdb800000

  2. The descriptor is as follows nvidia@tegra-ubuntu:~/source$ sudo busybox devmem 0xfc202000
    0x44000010
    nvidia@tegra-ubuntu:~/source$ sudo busybox devmem 0xfc202004
    0x00000008
    nvidia@tegra-ubuntu:~/source$ sudo busybox devmem 0xfc202008
    0x0C0C0C0C
    nvidia@tegra-ubuntu:~/source$ sudo busybox devmem 0xfc20200c
    0x0C0C0C0C
    nvidia@tegra-ubuntu:~/source$ sudo busybox devmem 0xfc202010
    0xDB800000

sudo busybox devmem 0x51001528 0xFC202000 ( this address set to the DMA controller )

4)When i set the run bit i see Abort and Halt with error as " unsupported Request "

Hi,

  1. Are you trying to transfer data from host to IDT switch or IDT switch to host. Based on the description of this post you are trying to transfer data from host to IDT swicth, but in the recent comment you said that memory allocated by Tegra is used as destination address. Since the DMA is in IDT switch, to transfer data from host to IDT switch, Tegra address will be source address not destination. Could you check it and confirm?

  2. I would like to know DMA HW desc format definition, is it possible to share this information from IDT switch datasheet? If there is any link to download IDT switch DMA datasheet, please share it.

  3. I believe you are observing “unsupported request” AER in Jetson-Tx2 dmesg logs, could you share it?

  4. Can you try DMA write instead of read and share your observations?

  5. Please share “sudo lspci -vvv” output

  6. Please share below command output,
    “sudo ls /sys/kernel/debug/12000000.iommu/masters”

  7. Please replace kzalloc() with dma_alloc_coherent(). If SMMU is enabled, it’ll give IOVA address. If SMMU is disabled IOVA will be same as PHY address. It is safe function to allocate DMA’able buffer.

Thanks,
Manikanta

Hi,

Also I don’t see mem flag in lspci output, could you please check that memory space access is enabled using pci_enable_device()/pci_enable_device_mem() function?

Thanks,
Manikanta

Answer for your above 5 question:

  1. i tried all 3 possible things.

a) src, dst ,desc in Host memory ( As IDT switch recommends it to be possible)
b) src and desc in host memory and dst in NT shared partition
c) desc in host memory and src , dst from bar ( NT shared partition)

All there are not working .

First of all if i set dummy descriptor and stride descriptor which is recommended by IDT itself is failing .It does not do a transfer.It just set descriptor. First setting descriptor with host memory need to be solved.

  1. refer this link for all support for IDT DMA

https://www.idt.com/document/apn/714-dma-pcie-switches

  1. I see this error in DMA controller of IDT ( DMA status register )

  2. Tried all possible combination. See answer 1

I tried to use this physical address for DMA desc and tried immediate transfer .Still same issue

SMMU is disabled . So i used physical address


Later question:

Yes for both function 1 and function 2 of the IDT switch pci_enable_device() is done.

Hi,

Mem access is not enabled for upstream port of the switch. Enable it using below command and give it a try,
“sudo setpci -s 0000.01:00.0 0x4.w” #First read the value
“sudo setpci -s 0000.01:00.0 0x4.w=< | 0x7>” #Enable bus master, IO & mem access

Hi Manikanta,

Thanks for your input. After enabling the em access for the function 0 of the IDT switch , DMA trasfer is working .

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Glad to hear that DMA is working. Please check why Mem access not enabled for switch upstream port by default.
Probably idt-g2-ntb driver need to call pci_enable_device()/pci_enable_device_mem() for parent pci_dev.

Sure, I am looking into it only. We have registered driver only for function 1 and function 2.

Might be we need to add small drive to enable function 0.

#13

01:00.0 is an upstream port, pcieport driver from PCIe subsystem is binded to it. portdrv_core.c driver enables mem access using pci_enable_device(). pcieport driver should be sufficient for upstream port.

portdrv_core.c, i see that pci_enable_device() is called. But looks like the Pci_set_master is not getting called. what is the static void tegra_pcie_fixup_bridge(struct pci_dev *dev) been added?

static void pci_enable_bridge(struct pci_dev *dev)
{
	struct pci_dev *bridge;
	int retval;

	bridge = pci_upstream_bridge(dev);
	if (bridge)
		pci_enable_bridge(bridge);

	if (pci_is_enabled(dev)) {
		if (!dev->is_busmaster)
			pci_set_master(dev);
		return;
	}

	retval = pci_enable_device(dev);
	if (retval)
		dev_err(&dev->dev, "Error enabling bridge (%d), continuing\n",
			retval);
	pci_set_master(dev);
}
#15

Hi,

It is old fixup code, probably added when PCI subsystem is not enabling bus master for host bridges. However it is not required now because subsystem is taking care of it.

There is one special scenario: 2 partitions are created in the switch, each partition serves a traditional (Virtual) PCIE switch.
Additionally, both upstream ports of the 2 partitions are also binded to NT/DMA function(s). His intention is to let TWO TX2 connected to the 2 upstream ports of the 2 partition communicate to each other via DMA and NT funcs. But, i guess, no valid EP(s) are attatched to the downstream ports, for at least one partition. Thus, in that specific partition, Tegra RC will not enable mem access, since it cannot see valid endpoints through the standard upstream port, resulting in its decision to disable this pcie-sub-tree (no mem, no io, etc … all minus) .

Hello, i am working around 89HPES24NT6AG2.
and:

  1. i have managed to get two TX2 talk to each other via their respective NT func. i.,e.,
    one TX2 writes (use copy_to_user to issue DW32 writes towards the kernel virtual address of BAR2) to BAR2 (outbound window), and another TX2 is able to get the expected data in its inbound buffer

  2. dma function driver is also implemented. but there is something strange about DMA
    2.1: when i tried to use dma to move data in a memory-to-memory fashion (both src and dst are in the memory of the same TX2), i can only see part of data copied correctly for the initial tests. when i repeated the same test, for most of time, i can’t see any data copied correctly from src to dst (src: 0, 1, 2, 3, … and dst: 0, 0, 0, 0, …)
    2.2: when i tried to use dma to move data in a memory-to-memory fashion (src in the memory of TX2 and dst in BAR2, which is also the outbound window), i have not observed that data can be copied over to its NT peer correctly, not even partially, for even once.

Putting a and b together, i suspect there is cache coherence issue. However, the inbound buffers of NT peer are allocated with dma_alloc_coherent hence no cache issue should exist !

Have u ever encountered problems like this ?

thank you.
