Subject[PATCH 0/3] Fix virtio-blk issue with SWIOTLB
Date
Hi,

there is a problem with virtio-blk driven devices when
virtio-ring uses SWIOTLB through the DMA-API. This happens
for example in AMD-SEV enabled guests, where the guest RAM
is mostly encrypted and all emulated DMA has to happen
to/from the SWIOTLB aperture.

The problem is a limitation of the SWIOTLB implementation,
which does not support allocations larger than 256kb. When
the virtio-blk driver tries to read/write a block larger
than that, the allocation of the dma-handle fails and an IO
error is reported.

This patch-set adds a check to the virtio-code whether it
might be using SWIOTLB bounce buffering and limits the
maximum segment size in the virtio-blk driver in this case,
so that it doesn't try to do larger reads/writes.

Please review.

Thanks,

Joerg

swiotlb: Export maximum allocation size
virtio: Introduce virtio_max_dma_size()
virtio-blk: Consider virtio_max_dma_size() for maximum segment size
