Thanks,

this looks pretty good to me.  A few comments below:


Thanks for your review.

This can go into swiotlb.c.

struct io_tlb_area is used in the struct io_tlb_mem.


+void __init swiotlb_adjust_nareas(unsigned int nareas);

And this should be marked static.

+#define DEFAULT_NUM_AREAS 1

I'd drop this define, the magic 1 and a > 1 comparism seems to
convey how it is used much better as the checks aren't about default
or not, but about larger than one.

I also think that we want some good way to size the default, e.g.
by number of CPUs or memory size.

swiotlb_adjust_nareas() is exposed to platforms to set area number.
When swiotlb_init() is called, smp_init() isn't called at that point and
so standard API of checking cpu number (e.g, num_online_cpus()) doesn't
work. Platforms may have other ways to get cpu number(e.g x86 may ACPI
MADT table entries to get cpu nubmer) and set area number. I will post following patch to set cpu number via swiotlb_adjust_nareas(),


+void __init swiotlb_adjust_nareas(unsigned int nareas)
+{
+	if (!is_power_of_2(nareas)) {
+		pr_err("swiotlb: Invalid areas parameter %d.\n", nareas);
+		return;
+	}
+
+	default_nareas = nareas;
+
+	pr_info("area num %d.\n", nareas);
+	/* Round up number of slabs to the next power of 2.
+	 * The last area is going be smaller than the rest if
+	 * default_nslabs is not power of two.
+	 */

Please follow the normal kernel comment style with a /* on its own line.


OK. Will update.
