[PATCH 0/5 v3] Fix virtio-blk issue with SWIOTLB

From: Joerg Roedel
Date: Wed Jan 23 2019 - 11:30:55 EST


Hi,

here is the third version of this patch-set. Previous
versions can be found here:

V1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190110134433.15672-1-joro@xxxxxxxxxx/

V2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190115132257.6426-1-joro@xxxxxxxxxx/

The problem solved here is a limitation of the SWIOTLB implementation,
which does not support allocations larger than 256kb. When the
virtio-blk driver tries to read/write a block larger than that, the
allocation of the dma-handle fails and an IO error is reported.

Changes to v2 are:

* Check if SWIOTLB is active before returning its limit in
dma_direct_max_mapping_size()

* Only apply the maximum segment limit in virtio-blk when
DMA-API is used for the vring

Please review.

Thanks,

Joerg
