On LoPAR "DMA Window Manipulation Calls", it's recommended to remove the default DMA window for the device, before attempting to configure a DDW, in order to make the maximum resources available for the next DDW to be created. This is a requirement for using DDW on devices in which hypervisor allows only one DMA window. If setting up a new DDW fails anywhere after the removal of this default DMA window, it's needed to restore the default DMA window. For this, an implementation of ibm,reset-pe-dma-windows rtas call is needed: Platforms supporting the DDW option starting with LoPAR level 2.7 implement ibm,ddw-extensions. The first extension available (index 2) carries the token for ibm,reset-pe-dma-windows rtas call, which is used to restore the default DMA window for a device, if it has been deleted. It does so by resetting the TCE table allocation for the PE to it's boot time value, available in "ibm,dma-window" device tree node.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
