Subject: [PATCH 0/5 v4] Fix virtio-blk issue with SWIOTLB 


Hi,

here is the fourth version of this patch-set. Previous
versions can be found here:

	V1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190110134433.15672-1-joro@8bytes.org/

	V2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190115132257.6426-1-joro@8bytes.org/

	V3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190123163049.24863-1-joro@8bytes.org/

The problem solved here 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.

For all changes to v3, a diff to v3 of the patch-set is at
the end of this email.

Please review.

Thanks,

	Joerg

Joerg Roedel (5):
  swiotlb: Introduce swiotlb_max_mapping_size()
  swiotlb: Add is_swiotlb_active() function
  dma: Introduce dma_max_mapping_size()
  virtio: Introduce virtio_max_dma_size()
  virtio-blk: Consider virtio_max_dma_size() for maximum segment size
