I have updated the arm_iommu_map_sg() back to coalesce and fixed the issues with it. During testing, I found out that mmc host driver doesn't support buffers bigger than 64K. To get the device working, I had to break the sg entries coalesce when dma_length is about to go beyond 64KB. Looks like Mmc host driver(sdhci.c) need to be fixed to handle buffers bigger than 64KB. Should the clients be forced to handle bigger buffers or is there any better way to handle these kind of issues? -- nvpublic -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
