As I know you like diving into cans of worms ;-) Does 64-bit IOVA support actually work in general? Or only on 64-bit platforms, due to dma_addr_t to unsigned long truncation on 32-bit? https://lore.kernel.org/linux-renesas-soc/CAMuHMdWkQ918Y61tMJbHEu29AGLEyNwbvZbSBB-RRH7YYUNRcA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Gr{oetje,eeting}s, Geert -- Geert Uytterhoeven -- There's lots of Linux beyond ia32 -- geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker.
