The maximum of SW-IOMMU is limited to 2^11*128 = 256K. While in different platform and different requirements this seems improper. So modify the IO_TLB_SEGSIZE to io_tlb_segsize as configurable is makesense. More details please. What is the issue you are hitting?Example: If 1M bytes are requied. There has an error like.
Instead of allowing the bouncing of such large buffers, could the gadget driver be modified to submit the buffers to the hardware in smaller chunks? David
