[PATCH 1/2] swiotlb: Make DIRECT_MAPPING_ERROR viable

From: Robin Murphy
Date: Tue Nov 20 2018 - 09:10:16 EST


With the overflow buffer removed, we no longer have a unique address
which is guaranteed not to be a valid DMA target to use as an error
token. The DIRECT_MAPPING_ERROR value of 0 tries to at least represent
an unlikely DMA target, but unfortunately there are already SWIOTLB
users with DMA-able memory at physical address 0 which now gets falsely
treated as a mapping failure and leads to all manner of misbehaviour.

The best we can do to mitigate that is flip DIRECT_MAPPING_ERROR to the
commonly-used all-bits-set value, since the last single byte of memory
is by far the least-likely-valid DMA target.
