[PATCH 06/11] ARM: dma-mapping: Handle foreign buffers in arm_iommu_get_sgtable
From: Mikko Perttunen
Date: Mon Sep 14 2026 - 22:23:56 EST
arm_iommu_get_sgtable can only describe buffers which came from
arm_iommu_alloc_attrs, and returns -ENXIO for anything else. This is
stricter than iommu_dma_get_sgtable(), which falls back to describing
the buffer as a single chunk.
The difference shows up when a buffer is allocated for one device and
mapped for another, as TegraDRM does. Buffers are allocated on the
host1x logical device, which has no dma_configure and therefore uses
direct DMA ops, and are then mapped for a display controller behind the
SMMU.
Add the same fallback as iommu_dma_get_sgtable().
