Since we are in a simulator, let's simply remove that limit.

Rethink about this, since simulator can be used by VM, so the allocation is actually guest trigger-able when vIOMMU is enabled.

This means we need a limit somehow, (e.g I remember swiotlb is about 64MB by default). Or having a module parameter for this.

Btw, have you met any issue when using 2048, I guess it can happen when we run several processes in parallel?


No, I didn't try with the limit.
This came from the reviews to Max's patches.

Anyway I can add a module parameter to control that limit, do you think is better to set a limit per queue (the parameter per number of queues), or just a value for the entire device?

Thanks,
Stefano
