Are you referring to the example code in Documentation/PCI/PCI-DMA-mapping.txt?

I don't see any "Use the full mapping" statement otherwise.

Is there a DMA HW implementation that requires the syncing full buffer?

I think it would be interesting to point that out in the commit comments
since other NIC drivers are likely to also have this issue as well.

I have no objection to this patch. Just want to be clear why
it's being pushed.

Please added Acked-by: Grant Grundler <grundler@...isc-linux.org>

thanks,
