Since I missed the commit introducing mm32.c (340720be32d4 xen/arm:
reimplement xen_dma_unmap_page & friends), I'll add a retrospective NAK ;).

The main reason is the asymmetry between dma map and unmap. With host
swiotlb somehow getting !dma_capable(dev), you even risk leaking dom0
swiotlb bounce buffers (on arm64).

Is this the pfn or the mfn? As you said in the previous email, there is
no mfn_to_pfn() conversion, so that's actually in another address space
where dom0 pfn_valid() would not make sense.

Do you use this as a check for foreign pages? If yes, is the mfn for
such pages guaranteed to be different from any valid dom0 pfn?

What does this TODO mean here? Which cases are not covered yet?

If the pfn here is correct, can you not just have something like:

void xen_dma_unmap_page(struct device *hwdev, dma_addr_t handle,
size_t size, enum dma_data_direction dir,
struct dma_attrs *attrs)

{
unsigned long pfn = handle >> PAGE_SHIFT; /* could use some macros */
if (!pfn_valid(pfn)) {
/* FIXME */
return;
}
__generic_dma_ops(hwdev)->unmap_page(hwdev, handle, size, dir, attrs);
}
