Subject: [PATCH] net: fec: check DMA addressing limitations

Check DMA addressing limitations as suggested by the DMA API
how-to. This does not fix a particular issue seen but is
considered good style.

It is better:

ret = dma_set_mask_and_coherent(&fep->pdev->dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32));
if (ret < 0) {
dev_warn(&fep->pdev->dev, "No suitable DMA available\n");
return ret;
}


If the patch aim to "OF: Don't set default coherent DMA mask", I think not only this driver need to add the DMA mask limitations, many other drivers also need.

The code comes from the example in Documentation/DMA-API-HOWTO.txt.

I can rearrange if you prefer.

It doesn't exactly address the issue since with that patch DMA mask
wasn't set at all. This code would just make the driver fail with
-ENODEV instead of -ENOMEM.

To force a DMA mask I would have to set the DMA mask using
dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent(). But as discussed with Robin it is safe
to assume that an initial mask is set by the bus code:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Setting the DMA mask on DT buses has been addressed by Robin with
"of/platform: Initialise default DMA masks". So everything should be
fine again.

I agree, other drivers need fixing too.

It is better to return the real error code like -EIO if dma_mask is not initialized.

Yes, I agree. It doesn't address the issue if no patch "of/platform: Initialise default DMA masks".

For non-DT, it seems dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() much better.

Anyway, I am fine with the patch except the return code.
Thanks.

Good point. Will send a v2.
