On Power, the kernel's page size can differ from the IOMMU's page size,
so we need to override the generic implementation, which always returns
the kernel's page size. Lookup the IOMMU's page size from struct
iommu_table, if available. Fallback to the kernel's page size,
otherwise.

All PCI devices have this initialized on POWER (at least, our, IBM's
POWER) so 4K will always be returned here while in the case of
(get_dma_ops(dev)==&dma_direct_ops) it could actually return
PAGE_SHIFT. Is 4K still preferred value to return here?

Right, so the logic of my series, goes like this:

a) We currently are assuming DMA_PAGE_SHIFT (conceptual constant) is
PAGE_SHIFT everywhere, including Power.

b) After 2/7, the Power code will return either the IOMMU table's shift
value, if set, or PAGE_SHIFT (I guess this would be the case if
get_dma_ops(dev) == &dma_direct_ops, as you said). That is no different
than we have now, except we can return the accurate IOMMU value if
available.

If it is not available, then something went wrong and BUG_ON(!tbl || !tbl->it_page_shift) make more sense here than pretending that this function can ever return PAGE_SHIFT. imho.



3) After 3/7, the platform can override the generic Power
get_dma_page_shift().

4) After 4/7, pseries will return the DDW value, if available, then
fallback to the IOMMU table's value. I think in the case of
get_dma_ops(dev)==&dma_direct_ops, the only way that can happen is if we
are using DDW, right?

This is for pseries guests; for the powernv host it is a "bypass" mode which does 64bit direct DMA mapping and there is no additional window for that (i.e. DIRECT64_PROPNAME, etc).
