In order to safely use the DMA API, virtio needs to know whether DMA
addresses are in fact physical addresses and for that purpose,
dma_addr_is_phys_addr() is introduced.

The change itself looks ok, so

Reviewed-by: David Gibson <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

However, I would like to see the commit message (and maybe the inline
comments) expanded a bit on what the distinction here is about.  Some
of the text from the next patch would be suitable, about DMA addresses
usually being in a different address space but not in the case of
bounce buffering.

Right, this needs a much tighter definition. "DMA address happens to be a valid physical address" is true of various IOMMU setups too, but I can't believe it's meaningful in such cases.

If what you actually want is "DMA is direct or SWIOTLB" - i.e. "DMA address is physical address of DMA data (not necessarily the original buffer)" - wouldn't dma_is_direct() suffice?

Robin.
