Hi Laurent,
I really have no idea how this problem should be addressed. I've already
proposed
to handle it in videobuf2-dc, but this has been rejected. Maybe the only
way will
be to add dma_set_max_seg_size(isp->dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32)) to every v4l2
driver,
which use videobuf2-dc and add a check in videobuf2-dc.
Best regards

The maximum DMA segment size controls the IOMMU mapping granularity. Its

I'm posting this as an RFC because I'm not happy with the patch, even if it
gets the job done.
On ARM the maximum DMA segment size is used when creating IOMMU mappings. As
a large number of devices require contiguous memory buffers (this is a very
common requirement for video-related embedded devices) the default 64kB
value doesn't work.
I haven't investigated the history behind this API in details but I have a
feeling something is not quite right. We force most drivers to explicitly
set the maximum segment size from a default that seems valid for specific
use cases only. Furthermore, as the DMA parameters are not stored directly
in struct device this require allocation of external memory for which we
have no proper management rule, making automatic handling of the DMA
parameters in frameworks or helper functions cumbersome (for a discussion
on this topic see http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg92467.html
and http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2014-> November/305913.html).
Is it time to fix this mess ?
