This follows what the AMD driver does, so:

Acked-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@....com>

but I still think that having drivers/net/ethernet/cavium/thunder/nicvf_queues.c
poke around with the physical address to get at the struct pages underlying
a DMA buffer is really dodgy. Is there no way this can be avoided, perhaps
by tracking the pages some other way (although I don't understand why you're
having to mess with the page reference counts to start with)?

At least, I think you should be checking the domain type in
nicvf_iova_to_phys, which clearly expects a DMA domain if one exists at all.

Joerg: sorry, this is another one for you to pick up if possible.

Cheers,

Will
