Hmm, wading through the code, seems it indeed happen yet, even though my testing didn't show any issues. Probably pure luck because devices and cpus have the same memory view on x86. Guess I need to try this on ppc64 to see it actually failing ... So dropping the virtio_has_dma_quirk() checks isn't going to fly. Using dma_max_mapping_size() should be fine though. It might use a lower limit than needed for virtio, but it should not break things. take care, Gerd _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
