Both split ring and packed ring use 32bits to describe the length of

This means the max segment size supported by virtio is U32_MAX.

An example of virtio_max_dma_size in virtio_blk.c:
   u32 v, max_size;

   max_size = virtio_max_dma_size(vdev);  -> implicit convert
   err = virtio_cread_feature(vdev, VIRTIO_BLK_F_SIZE_MAX,
                              struct virtio_blk_config, size_max, &v);
   max_size = min(max_size, v);

There is a risk during implicit convert here, once virtio_max_dma_size
returns 4G, max_size becomes 0.

LGTM

But, should we change the parameter to vq, then use the dma_dev?

@Jason

Thanks.


The max DMA size is a attribute of a virtio device rather than any VQ, so I guess virtio_max_dma_size(const struct virtio_device *vdev) is clear.

On the other hand, if changing the parameter to vq, we need select a VQ, then the question is:
1, which VQ to select? VQ0 or a random one? this leads confusing.
2, The virtio spec defines: Each device can have zero or more virtqueues



  {
-	size_t max_segment_size = SIZE_MAX;
+	u32 max_segment_size = U32_MAX;

-	if (vring_use_dma_api(vdev))
-		max_segment_size = dma_max_mapping_size(vdev->dev.parent);

+
+		if (max_dma_size < max_segment_size)
+			max_segment_size = max_dma_size;
+	}

  	return max_segment_size;
