[PATCH 0/7] iommu/amd: Always allow to map huge pages

From: Joerg Roedel
Date: Fri Nov 09 2018 - 06:08:03 EST


Hi,

the AMD IOMMU driver had an issue for a long time where it
didn't allow to map a huge-page when smaller mappings
existed at that address range before. The VFIO driver even
had a workaround for that behavior.

These patches fix the issue and remove the workaround from
the VFIO driver.

Please review.

Thanks,

Joerg
