Hi Anle,

When allocating from pages, the size of the sg segment is unlimited and
the default is UINT_MAX. This will cause the DMA stream mapping failed
later with a "swiotlb buffer full" error.

Thanks for the patch. Good catch.

The default maximum mapping
size is 128 slots x 2K = 256K, determined by "IO_TLB_SEGSIZE".
To fix the issue, limit the sg segment size according to
"dma_max_mapping_size" to match the mapping limit.

dev can't be NULL, see the context above.

One thing that I'm not sure about here is that we use
sg_alloc_table_from_pages_segment(), but we actually don't pass the
max segment size (as returned by dma_get_max_seg_size()) to it.
I'm also not exactly sure what's the difference between "max mapping
size" and "max seg size".
+Robin Murphy +Christoph Hellwig I think we could benefit from your
expertise here.

dma_get_max_seg_size() represents a capability of the device itself, namely the largest contiguous range it can be programmed to access in a single DMA descriptor/register/whatever. Conversely, dma_max_mapping_size() is a capablity of the DMA API implementation, and represents the largest contiguous mapping it is guaranteed to be able to handle (each segment in the case of dma_map_sg(), or the whole thing for dma_map_page()). Most likely the thing you want here is min_not_zero(max_seg_size, max_mapping_size).

Generally looking at videobuf2-dma-sg, I feel like we would benefit
from some kind of dma_alloc_table_from_pages() that simply takes the
struct dev pointer and does everything necessary.

Possibly; this code already looks lifted from drm_prime_pages_to_sg(), and if it's needed here then presumably vb2_dma_sg_get_userptr() also needs it, at the very least.

Thanks,
Robin.
