+#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT
Why under ifdeffery?
Because I only want to do it on 64-bit capable architectures.
The alternative would be to call
dma_set_mask_and_coherent(&pdev->dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64));
on *all* architectures, but ignore the returned error (-EIO,
presumably on architetures that only support 32-bit DMA).
I don't understand why you are supposed to ignore errors and why you
expect to get such.
If I call `dma_set_mask_and_coherent(&pdev->dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64));`
on a machine where `CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT` is *not* set, I
expect an error. The implicit default
(per Documentation/core-api/dma-api-howto.rst), is DMA_BIT_MASK(32).
I'm working under the impression that on machines with
CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT I should increase that to DMA_BIT_MASK(64).
So if I don't #ifdef it, that call will fail on machines supporting
only 32-bits.
What am I missing?
This thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/6/7/398 ?
OK, so just call `dma_set_mask_and_coherent(&pdev->dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64));`
regardless of 32- or 64-bit dma capability, *do* check the return value,
and it should *not* fail on 32-bit systems.
I'll do that in v6 (should go out in early January '22, since I'm traveling
with only occasional email access at the moment).
Thanks,
