As for the other mask-related hooks, standardise the arch override into

I compared this a bit to what I had around against an older kernel,
and I think we should probably go with something more like the
version I had, which I can dust off again.
What I've done is to:
1) provide the get_required_mask unconditionally in struct dma_map_ops
2) default to what is the current dma_get_required_mask implementation
if nothing else is specified.
Yeah, there's already 17 pointers in dma_map_ops of which about half are
optional, so these awkward #ifdefs to save one more probably aren't
worth the inconsistency they bring. It feels like this guy mostly goes
hand-in-hand with dma_supported, so ack to giving it the same look and feel.
What I still had on my todo list but not done yet:
3) go through all instances and check if the current default
makes sense, at it based on direct addressability. For most
iommu instances it seems like we should just return a 64-bit mask.
That's reasonable, although in many cases we should know the effective
IOMMU input address size which would be even neater.
4) figure out how to take the dma offsets into account for it
AFAICS it might boil down to simply:
mask = roundup_pow_of_two(phys_to_dma(dev, PFN_PHYS(max_pfn))) - 1;
5) move the function to the dma-direct code, as that is where it
belongs
5) figure out if there is a better name for the method, as with
swiotlb & co it isn't really the required mask, but more something
like the optimal mask
6) document the whole thing..
7) sort out the powerpc indirection mess.
Do you agree with that general plan? If so I can dust off my old
patch.
Sounds good; in the meantime I'll happily drop these two.
Robin.
