  It is likely that modern intel motherboard will not ship with a
floppy connection anymore, so let us disable it by default, as it
gets turned on when we do a make defconfig.

Nobody selects or depends on this. How about removing this bool? Only
less than 10 lines of code are impacted and are not in any performance
path.

Hi Baolu,

I have a question:
Shouldn't we remove the code between ifdef-endif statements?

I mean something like this:

                                       0, IOMMU_RESV_MSI, GFP_KERNEL);

This code is introduced in Commit d850c2ee5fe2 ("iommu/vt-d: Expose ISA 
direct mapping region via iommu_get_resv_regions")

If others don't have an objection I can send a patch with the above diff.

Note: I am unsure about the code internals.

Thanks,
Harshit

As long as floppy driver exists in the tree, we have to include above
code. Otherwise, floppy drivers don't work. At least we can easily find
drivers/block/floppy.c which is still maintained (check MAINTAINERS).:-)

No, machines with floppy drives may be uncommon, but almost certainly 
some are still in use and being updated with new kernels, so we should 
continue to support them.

Do you have any practical issues with the ISA reserved region being 
present, or is the only motivation here to save a few bytes of code when 
it won't be needed? In the latter case, making it "def_bool BLK_DEV_FD" 
might be sensible.

(For the original patch, note that "def_bool n" is always a bit 
redundant since plain "bool" implicitly defaults to "n" anyway)

Thanks,
Robin.

Thanks a lot for explaining.

I misunderstood the code, I thought when we are removing ifdef-endif 
statement, the code inside(within ifdef-endif) becomes redundant, thanks 
for correcting me.

No practical issues seen.

Okay.
How about Baolu's version of the patch, where we are removing the CONFIG 
item from Kconfig and ifdef statement from the code in iommu.c?

Thanks,
Harshit

But this requires a machine with Intel IOMMU and ISA:

ISA device? I don't believe there are any Intel machines with an IOMMU
and an ISA device?

This workaround was introduced by commit 49a0429e53f2 ("Intel IOMMU:
Iommu floppy workaround") in 2007. I can't remember what happened 15
years ago, but I believe there must have been corresponding hardware
configurations at that time, and the Linux kernel has been maintained it
to now.

Presumably the point of the config is that ISA bridges aren't expected 
on IA-64, so a tiny code saving can be made there, but at this point is 
anyone really that bothered about any more? There's already tons more 
code all through the driver to support newer features that aren't 
meaningful to old IA-64 hardware, so in my opinion, meh. Given that this 
already won't affect systems that truly can't have any ISA devices, I 
don't see any issue with simply making it unconditional.

Note that plenty of chipsets still have an "ISA" bridge to an LPC 
interface, so ISA DMA is not necessarily as dead as one might like to think.

Robin.

Based on what you're saying then, the fix that you agree with is what Baolu
first suggested, which is to remove it from Kconfig and just remove the
#ifdef/#endif, but not the code that it contains.

Is that correct?

Thanks,

Darren.
