Since DMA addresses will effectively look like 48-bit addresses when the memory encryption mask is set, SWIOTLB is needed if the DMA mask of the device performing the DMA does not support 48-bits. SWIOTLB will be initialized to create un-encrypted bounce buffers for use by these devices.

Should it be a warning when it is first being set up or a warning the first time the bounce buffers need to be used. Or maybe both?quoted
A boot flag that says "don't enable devices that don't support encryption" might be a good idea, too, since most people don't read dmesg output and won't notice the message.I'll look into this. It might be something that can be checked as part of the device setting its DMA mask or the first time a DMA API is used if the device doesn't explicitly set its mask. Thanks, Tomquoted
I think setup time is nicer if it's possible. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org. For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ . Don't email: <a href=mailto:"dont@kvack.org"> email@kvack.org </a>
