Older linux kernels, as used with RHEL/Centos, trigger an assertion* when a DMA operation starts that doesn't fit within the 2G range specified by the IORT. The simple solution is to only enable the IORT when the 3G flag is disabled. * <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fpftf%2FRPi4%2Fissues%2F123&data=04%7C01%7Cawarkentin%40vmware.com%7C92f310e07997434a267408d8c702f698%7Cb39138ca3cee4b4aa4d6cd83d9dd62f0%7C0%7C0%7C637478162838925480%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=dKbis45PDc6ciBMWvSime3ZhQJGOwYLN0OHTnhMSvvU%3D&reserved=0"> https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fpftf%2FRPi4%2Fissues%2F123&data=04%7C01%7Cawarkentin%40vmware.com%7C92f310e07997434a267408d8c702f698%7Cb39138ca3cee4b4aa4d6cd83d9dd62f0%7C0%7C0%7C637478162838925480%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=dKbis45PDc6ciBMWvSime3ZhQJGOwYLN0OHTnhMSvvU%3D&reserved=0</a> Fixes: dac891da5cf3 ("Platform/RaspberryPi/AcpiTables: add a IORT ACPI table to limit XHCI DMA") Signed-off-by: Jeremy Linton <jeremy.linton@arm.com> --- Platform/RaspberryPi/Drivers/ConfigDxe/ConfigDxe.c | 26 +++++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/Platform/RaspberryPi/Drivers/ConfigDxe/ConfigDxe.c b/Platform/RaspberryPi/Drivers/ConfigDxe/ConfigDxe.c index 19ef950f10..9581bc41e1 100644 --- a/Platform/RaspberryPi/Drivers/ConfigDxe/ConfigDxe.c +++ b/Platform/RaspberryPi/Drivers/ConfigDxe/ConfigDxe.c @@ -217,13 +217,23 @@ SetupVariables ( ASSERT_EFI_ERROR (Status); } - if (mModelFamily >= 4 && mModelInstalledMB > 3 * 1024) { + if (mModelFamily >= 4) { + if (mModelInstalledMB > 3 * 1024) { + /* + * This allows changing PcdRamLimitTo3GB in forms. + */ + Status = PcdSet32S (PcdRamMoreThan3GB, 1); + ASSERT_EFI_ERROR (Status); + } else { + Status = PcdSet32S (PcdRamMoreThan3GB, 0); + ASSERT_EFI_ERROR (Status); + } + /* - * This allows changing PcdRamLimitTo3GB in forms. + * Enable the "3G ram limit" on 2GB device because we + * are going to utlize that limit as a new/old kernel + * flag and also disable the IORT if the 3G limit is set. */ - Status = PcdSet32S (PcdRamMoreThan3GB, 1); - ASSERT_EFI_ERROR (Status); - Size = sizeof (UINT32); Status = gRT->GetVariable (L"RamLimitTo3GB", &gConfigDxeFormSetGuid, @@ -755,6 +765,12 @@ HandleDynamicNamespace ( DEBUG ((DEBUG_ERROR, "Found namespace table not in table list.\n")); return FALSE; + case SIGNATURE_32 ('I', 'O', 'R', 'T'): + // only enable the IORT on machines with >3G and no limit + // to avoid problems with rhel/centos + if (PcdGet32 (PcdRamLimitTo3GB)) { + return FALSE; + } } return TRUE; -- 2.13.7 -=-=-=-=-=-= Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
