[PATCH v3 0/4] DMA mapping changes for SCSI core
From: John Garry
Date: Mon Jun 06 2022 - 05:36:55 EST
As reported in [0], DMA mappings whose size exceeds the IOMMU IOVA caching
limit may see a big performance hit.
This series introduces a new DMA mapping API, dma_opt_mapping_size(), so
that drivers may know this limit when performance is a factor in the
mapping.
Robin didn't like using dma_max_mapping_size() for this [1].
The SCSI core code is modified to use this limit.
I also added a patch for libata-scsi as it does not currently honour the
shost max_sectors limit.
Note: Christoph has previously kindly offered to take this series via the
dma-mapping tree, so I think that we just need an ack from the
IOMMU guys now.

Changes since v2:
- Rebase on v5.19-rc1
- Add Damien's tag to 2/4 (thanks)
Changes since v1:
- Relocate scsi_add_host_with_dma() dma_dev check (Reported by Dan)
- Add tags from Damien and Martin (thanks)
- note: I only added Martin's tag to the SCSI patch
John Garry (4):
dma-mapping: Add dma_opt_mapping_size()
dma-iommu: Add iommu_dma_opt_mapping_size()
scsi: core: Cap shost max_sectors according to DMA optimum mapping
limits
libata-scsi: Cap ata_device->max_sectors according to
shost->max_sectors
