The patch titled iommu sg: powerpc: remove DMA 4GB boundary protection has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is iommu-sg-powerpc-remove-dma-4gb-boundary-protection.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: iommu sg: powerpc: remove DMA 4GB boundary protection From: FUJITA Tomonori <tomof@xxxxxxx> Previously, during initialization of the IOMMU tables, the last entry at each 4GB boundary is marked as used since there are many adapters which cannot handle DMAing across any 4GB boundary. The IOMMU doesn't allocate a memory area spanning LLD's segment boundary anymore. The segment boundary of devices are set to 4GB by default. So we can remove 4GB boundary protection now.
