DGH prohibits merging memory accesses with Normal-NC or Device-GRE
attributes before the hint instruction with any memory accesses
appearing after the hint instruction. Provide macros to expose it to the
arch code.

2.8.1
From: Huazhong Tan <[email protected]>
For the device that supports the TX push capability, the BD can
be directly copied to the device memory. However, due to hardware
restrictions, the push mode can be used only when there are no
more than two BDs, otherwise, the doorbell mode based on device
memory is used.

It looks a bit weird putting this at the end of the function, given that
it's supposed to do something to a pair of accesses. Please can you explain
what it's doing, and also provide some numbers to show that it's worthwhile
(given that it's a performance hint not a correctness thing afaict).

Hmm.
The architecture states:

which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, in all honesty.

Although I'm fine with this in arm64, I don't think this is the interface
which drivers should be using. Instead, once we know what this instruction
is supposed to do, we should look at exposing it as part of the I/O barriers
and providing a NOP implementation for other architectures. That way,
drivers can use it without having to have the #ifdef CONFIG_ARM64 stuff that
you have in the later patches here.

I think there are some missing words, and this was supposed to say
something like:
| DGH is a hint instruction. A DGH instruction *indicates that it* is
| not expected to be performance optimal to merge memory accesses with
| Normal Non-cacheable or Device-GRE attributes appearing in program
| order before the hint instruction with any memory accesses appearing
| after the hint instruction into a single memory transaction on an
| interconnect.
... i.e. it's a hint to the CPU to avoid merging accesses which are
either side of the DGH, so that the prior accesses don't get
indefinitely delayed waiting to be merged.
I'll try to get the documentation fixed, since as-is the wording does
not make sense.
Thanks,
Mark.

Ok, thanks, we will try to implement a new I/O barriers interface as your opinion
and repost a new version after we test ok.

When the driver writes the device space mapped to the WriteCombine,
CPU combines into the cacheline unit by using the merge window mechanism
and delivers the cacheline to the device. However, even if the cacheline
is full, the device space is delivered only after the merge window
ends. (There is about 10ns delay at 3G frequency). To reduce the delay,
the WriteCombine needs to be flushed explicitly. This is why the DGH
needs to be invoked here.

How about we adding a interface called flush_wc_writeX(), which can be used to
flush the write-combined buffers to the device immediately.
I found it has been disscussed in the below link, but it is unnessary in their
situation.
