From: Ben Crocker bcrocker@redhat.com Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2018 17:52:19 -0500 Subject: drm/radeon: insist on 32-bit DMA for Cedar on PPC64/PPC64LE
From: Ben Crocker bcrocker@redhat.com
commit 2c83029cda55a5e7665c7c6326909427d6a01350 upstream.
In radeon_device_init, set the need_dma32 flag for Cedar chips (e.g. FirePro 2270). This fixes, or at least works around, a bug on PowerPC exposed by last year's commits
8e3f1b1d8255105f31556aacf8aeb6071b00d469 (Russell Currey)
and
253fd51e2f533552ae35a0c661705da6c4842c1b (Alistair Popple)
which enabled the 64-bit DMA iommu bypass.
This caused the device to freeze, in some cases unrecoverably, and is the subject of several bug reports internal to Red Hat.
