Subject: [PATCH 0/3 v2] Fix virtio-blk issue with SWIOTLB

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@8bytes.org/

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
