Tsirkin <mst@xxxxxxxxxx> > Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx> Hmm - IIUC it's actually only the case for the virtio rings themselves. The buffer addresses put in the rings are full 64 bit ones. It so happens that virtio doesn't use coherent allocs except for the rings. So I'm inclined to say the coherent mask should be set to 44, with a comment explaning that this is for the rings. In case we start using coherent allocations in virtio, it might be cleaner to relax the mask after allocating the rings, but I'm not sure that's allowed by the DMA API. thoughts? > --- > drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_legacy.c | 4 ++-- > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_legacy.c b/drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_legacy.c > index 8c4e61783441..f4852febd40c 100644 > --- a/drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_legacy.c > +++ b/drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_legacy.c > @@ -212,12 +212,12 @@ int virtio_pci_legacy_probe(struct virtio_pci_device *vp_dev) > return -ENODEV; > } > > - rc = dma_set_mask_and_coherent(&pci_dev->dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64)); > + rc = dma_set_mask_and_coherent(&pci_dev->dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(44)); 44 would be cleaner as 32 + VIRTIO_PCI_QUEUE_ADDR_SHIFT. > if (rc) > rc = dma_set_mask_and_coherent(&pci_dev->dev, > DMA_BIT_MASK(32)); > if (rc) > - dev_warn(&pci_dev->dev, "Failed to enable 64-bit or 32-bit DMA.
