[PATCH 0/5 v5] Fix virtio-blk issue with SWIOTLB

From: Joerg Roedel
Date: Wed Jan 30 2019 - 11:40:13 EST


Hi,

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

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

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

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

V4: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190129084342.26030-1-joro@xxxxxxxxxx/

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.

Changes to v4 are:

- Added Reviewed-by tags from Christoph

- Added missing EXPORT_SYMBOL(_GPL) lines

Please review.

Thanks,

Joerg
