Subject: problems doing direct dma from a pci device to pci-e device
I know this is really just a pci issue but have CC'd LKML just in case. Sorry LKML for the noise.
I have a situation where a card on a regular PCI bus (Compro gpiohsd) does dma's
directly into another PCI cards memory (VMIC-5565 reflective memory) living on
another PCI bus. These 2 cards are sometimes seperated by many bridges.
Expansion racks etc. We've been doing this forever. No problem (mostly).
I now have an AM3 based DFI DK 790FXB-M3H5 motherboard. This board has 3 regular
PCI slots and 3 PCI-E (16x) slots. I also have a PCI-E (x4) version of the VMIC-5565
reflective memory card in one of the PCI-E slots and our gpiohsd card in one of the regular
PCI slots. All on the motherboard. No expansion slots being used. However I cannot get
data from our gpiohsd into the PCI-E VMIC-5565 cards memory. I can certainly get the data there
from a userland buffer, no problem. Just not from one card to the other directly. Oh and when
I put the regular PCI version of the VMIC into one of the regular PCI slots everything works
as expected. They are then both on the same PCI bus and no bridges are involved though.
Here is some information about my system configuration. I would very much appreciate any
help or pointers as to why this doesn't work. I'm no PCI expert but do have a basic understanding
of it and I don't see anything wrong myself. I'm using a vanilla 2.6.26.8 kernel BTW and all
drivers involved are GPL.
Attached is a complete lspci -vvv
