Most I/O in the kernel is done using the kernel offset mapping. However, there is one API that uses aliased kernel address ranges: > The final category of APIs is for I/O to deliberately aliased address > ranges inside the kernel. Such aliases are set up by use of the > vmap/vmalloc API. Since kernel I/O goes via physical pages, the I/O > subsystem assumes that the user mapping and kernel offset mapping are > the only aliases. This isn't true for vmap aliases, so anything in > the kernel trying to do I/O to vmap areas must manually manage > coherency. It must do this by flushing the vmap range before doing > I/O and invalidating it after the I/O returns. For this reason, we should use the hardware lpa instruction to load the physical address of kernel virtual addresses in the driver code. I believe we only use the vmap/vmalloc API with old PA 1.x processors which don't have a sba, so we don't hit this problem. Tested on c3750, c8000 and rp3440.
