Currently external memory test uses 4K page size. VFIO DMA mapping works only with system page granularity. Earlier it was working because all the contiguous mappings were coalesced and mapped in one-go which ended up becoming a lot bigger page. Now that VFIO DMA mappings both in IOVA as VA and IOVA as PA mode, are being done at memseg list granularity, we need to use system page size.When you say "earlier", do you mean before this series? The other patches have been marked for backports, so either this test change must be too, or its content must be squashed in the right patch of this series.
Yes, I meant before this series when I said "earlier". Missed to cc stable on this patch. Will send a V8.
