[PATCH] drm: gem_cma_helper.c: Allow importing of contiguous scatterlists with nents > 1

From: Liviu Dudau
Date: Wed Nov 01 2017 - 10:14:34 EST


drm_gem_cma_prime_import_sg_table() will fail if the number of entries
in the sg_table > 1. However, you can have a device that uses an IOMMU
engine and can map a discontiguous buffer with multiple entries that
have consecutive sg_dma_addresses, effectively making it contiguous.
Allow for that scenario by testing the entries in the sg_table for
contiguous coverage.

Hi,

This patch is the only change I need in order to be able to use existing
IOMMU domain infrastructure with the Mali DP driver. I have tested the
patch and I know it works correctly for my setup, but I would like to get
some comments on whether I am on the right path or if CMA really wants to
see an sg_table with only one entry.

Best regards,
Liviu
