I am wondering this too...whether I sent correctly or not.

Do I need to? Though I won't mind doing so if it's necessary..

Sorry for the confusion. We actually applied ULONG_MAX change
last week but reverted it right after, due to a bug report at
one of these "potential" overflows. So at this moment the top
of the tree doesn't set default boundary to ULONG_MAX yet.
Thanks

Hi Nicolin,
haven't seen any other feedback from other maintainers,
so I guess you will resend this?
On first glance it seems to make sense.
I'm a little confused why it is only a "potential overflow"
while this part
"We are expending the default DMA segmentation boundary to its
possible maximum value (ULONG_MAX) to indicate that a device
doesn't specify a boundary limit"
sounds to me like ULONG_MAX is actually used, does that
mean there are currently no devices which do not specify a
boundary limit?

[RFT][PATCH 0/7] Avoid overflow at boundary_size
We are expending the default DMA segmentation boundary to its
possible maximum value (ULONG_MAX) to indicate that a device
doesn't specify a boundary limit. So all dma_get_seg_boundary
callers should take a precaution with the return values since
it would easily get overflowed.
I scanned the entire kernel tree for all the existing callers
and found that most of callers may get overflowed in two ways:
either "+ 1" or passing it to ALIGN() that does "+ mask".
According to kernel defines:
#define ALIGN_MASK(x, mask) (((x) + (mask)) & ~(mask))
#define ALIGN(x, a) ALIGN_MASK(x, (typeof(x))(a) - 1)
We can simplify the logic here:
ALIGN(boundary + 1, 1 << shift) >> shift
= ALIGN_MASK(b + 1, (1 << s) - 1) >> s
= {[b + 1 + (1 << s) - 1] & ~[(1 << s) - 1]} >> s
= [b + 1 + (1 << s) - 1] >> s
= [b + (1 << s)] >> s
= (b >> s) + 1
So this series of patches fix the potential overflow with this
overflow-free shortcut.
As I don't think that I have these platforms, marking RFT.
Thanks
Nic
