[PATCH V2 1/2] Swiotlb: Add swiotlb_alloc_from_low_pages switch

From: Tianyu Lan
Date: Wed Feb 09 2022 - 07:23:44 EST


From: Tianyu Lan <Tianyu.Lan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hyper-V Isolation VM and AMD SEV VM uses swiotlb bounce buffer to
share memory with hypervisor. Current swiotlb bounce buffer is only
allocated from 0 to ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT which is default to
0xffffffffUL. Isolation VM and AMD SEV VM needs 1G bounce buffer at most.
This will fail when there is not enough memory from 0 to 4G address
space and devices also may use memory above 4G address space as DMA memory.
Expose swiotlb_alloc_from_low_pages and platform mey set it to false when
it's not necessary to limit bounce buffer from 0 to 4G memory.
