[PATCH 0/3 v2] Fix virtio-blk issue with SWIOTLB
From: Joerg Roedel
Date: Tue Jan 15 2019 - 08:23:12 EST
Hi,
here is the second version of my patch-set to fix a DMA
mapping size issue triggered by the virtio-blk driver.
The problem 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.
v1 of the patch-set can be found here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190110134433.15672-1-joro@xxxxxxxxxx/
The change to v1 is that the maximum mapping size is now
officially propagated through the DMA-API, as suggested by
Christoph Hellwig.
Please review.
Thanks,
Joerg

swiotlb: Introduce swiotlb_max_mapping_size()
dma: Introduce dma_max_mapping_size()
virtio-blk: Consider dma_max_mapping_size() for maximum segment size
