Size of the dma-range is calculated as coherent_dma_mask + 1

the coherent_dma_mask is set for full 64 bits 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF,
resulting in size getting passed as 0 wrongly. Fix this by
passsing in max(mask, mask + 1). Note that in this case
when the mask is set to full 64bits, we will be passing the mask
itself to arch_setup_dma_ops instead of the size. The real fix
for this should be to make arch_setup_dma_ops receive the
mask and handle it, to be done in the future.

NACK.

Passing an invalid size to arch_setup_dma_ops() is only part of the problem.
size is also used in of_dma_configure() before calling arch_setup_dma_ops():

dev->coherent_dma_mask = min(dev->coherent_dma_mask,
DMA_BIT_MASK(ilog2(dma_addr + size)));
*dev->dma_mask = min((*dev->dma_mask),
DMA_BIT_MASK(ilog2(dma_addr + size)));

which would be incorrect for size == 0xffffffffffffffffULL when
dma_addr != 0. So the proposed fix really is not papering over
the base problem very well.


Ok, but with your fix for of_dma_get_range and the above fix,
dma_addr will be '0' when size = 0xffffffffffffffffULL,
but DMA_BIT_MASK(ilog2(dma_addr + size)) would be wrong though,
making coherent_dma_mask to be smaller 0x7fffffffffffffffULL.

I agree that the proper solution involves passing a mask instead
of a size to arch_setup_dma_ops().
