Enabling no snoop might cause potential DMA issues. This patch disables it, if a driver can work with no snoop, we can provide a helper to enable it. I didn't see any real breaks, but did see some devices with the bit enabled Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li Index: linux/drivers/pci/probe.c =================================================================== --- linux.orig/drivers/pci/probe.c 2007-09-06 13:18:07.000000000 +0800 +++ linux/drivers/pci/probe.c 2007-09-06 13:21:30.000000000 +0800 @@ -694,6 +694,19 @@ static void pci_read_irq(struct pci_dev #define LEGACY_IO_RESOURCE (IORESOURCE_IO | IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED) +static void pcie_setup_device(struct pci_dev *dev) +{ + u16 reg16; + int pos; + + pos = pci_find_capability(dev, PCI_CAP_ID_EXP); + if (pos) { + pci_read_config_word(dev, pos + PCI_EXP_DEVCTL, ®16); + reg16 &= ~PCI_EXP_DEVCTL_NOSNOOP_EN; + pci_write_config_word(dev, pos + PCI_EXP_DEVCTL, reg16); + } +} + /** * pci_setup_device - fill in class and map information of a device * @dev: the device structure to fill @@ -795,6 +808,7 @@ static int pci_setup_device(struct pci_d dev->class = PCI_CLASS_NOT_DEFINED; } + pcie_setup_device(dev); /* We found a fine healthy device, go go go... */ return 0; } - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
