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.

/* ** HP VISUALIZE Workstation PCI Bus Defect ** ** "HP has discovered a potential system defect that can affect ** the behavior of five models of HP VISUALIZE workstations when ** equipped with third-party or customer-installed PCI I/O expansion ** cards. The defect is limited to the HP C180, C160, C160L, B160L, ** and B132L VISUALIZE workstations, and will only be encountered ** when data is transmitted through PCI I/O expansion cards on the ** PCI bus. HP-supplied graphics cards that utilize the PCI bus are ** not affected." ** ** http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Home.jsp?locale=en_US&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=44443 ** ** Product First Good Serial Number ** C200/C240 (US) US67350000 **B132L+/B180 (US) US67390000 ** C200 (Europe) 3713G01000 ** B180L (Europe) 3720G01000 ** ** Note that many boards were fixed/replaced under a free replacement ** program.
