SubjectIOAT 4.0 driver not supported on Intel 5000 chipset
Date
Hello Vinod/Dave,

I have an old X86 system with 'Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5450' which has
'5000 Series Chipset'. The latest mainline IOAT driver does not work
on it. Dont see /sys/class/dma getting filled up with channel details
even if I manually load both dca.ko followed by ioatdma.ko drivers
after the system boots. As it was working on a old distro kernel like
3.10, did a git bisect to figure out that the support was removed for
older IOAT HW around August 2015 with the following commits.

dmaengine: ioatdma: deprecating and removal of old ioatdma devices

Removal of any devices that are ioatdma pre-3.0. This is the first step
in attempting to clean up the ioatdma driver and remove hw no longer
supported.

I intend to use the HW with mainline kernel. Is there any work around
which can make it happen ?

Regards
