A pure question: if the MR is not a RAM (I think the only case for
virtio case should be an IOMMU MR), then why we'll call MAP_RAM()
after all? An glue() example:
void glue(address_space_stb, SUFFIX)(ARG1_DECL,
hwaddr addr, uint32_t val, MemTxAttrs attrs, MemTxResult *result)
{
uint8_t *ptr;
MemoryRegion *mr;
hwaddr l = 1;
hwaddr addr1;
MemTxResult r;
bool release_lock = false;
RCU_READ_LOCK();
mr = TRANSLATE(addr, &addr1, &l, true, attrs);
if (!IS_DIRECT(mr, true)) { <----------------- [1]
release_lock |= prepare_mmio_access(mr);
r = memory_region_dispatch_write(mr, addr1, val, 1, attrs);
} else {
/* RAM case */
ptr = MAP_RAM(mr, addr1);
stb_p(ptr, val);
INVALIDATE(mr, addr1, 1);
r = MEMTX_OK;
}
if (result) {
*result = r;
}
if (release_lock) {
qemu_mutex_unlock_iothread();
}
RCU_READ_UNLOCK();
}
At [1] we should check first against whether it's direct after all.
AFAIU IOMMU MR should not be direct then it'll go the slow path rather
than calling MAP_RAM()?
Since at it, I have another (pure) question about the address space
cache. I don't think it's urgent since I think it's never a problem
for virtio, but I'm still asking anyways...
Still taking the stb example:
static inline void address_space_stb_cached(MemoryRegionCache *cache,
hwaddr addr, uint32_t val, MemTxAttrs attrs, MemTxResult *result)
{
assert(addr < cache->len); <----------------------------- [2]
if (likely(cache->ptr)) {
stb_p(cache->ptr + addr, val);
} else {
address_space_stb_cached_slow(cache, addr, val, attrs, result);
}
}
Here at [2] what if the region cached is smaller than provided when
doing address_space_cache_init()? AFAIU the "len" provided to
address_space_cache_init() can actually shrink (though for virtio it
should never) when do:
l = len;
...
cache->mrs = *address_space_translate_internal(d, addr, &cache->xlat, &l,
true);
...
cache->len = l;
And here not sure whether we should not assert, instead we only run
the fast path if the address falls into the cache region, say:
static inline void address_space_stb_cached(MemoryRegionCache *cache,
hwaddr addr, uint32_t val, MemTxAttrs attrs, MemTxResult *result)
{
if (likely(cache->ptr && addr < cache->len)) {
stb_p(cache->ptr + addr, val);
} else {
address_space_stb_cached_slow(cache, addr, val, attrs, result);
}
}
Or we should add a check in address_space_cache_init() to make sure
the region won't shrink.
