Hmm... some comments on this one? like it or not?It sounds like it's fixing a bug, but you don't really say. Have you seen this fail in the wild?Hmm... as described in the commit log, this would be a bug when PAGE_SIZE is much smaller than IOMMU Page Size. This configuration doesn't happen on current platform. So I didn't see this failure yet.quoted
Which commit introduced the breakage?Hmm... maybe we could say it is 'commit d084775738b7 <powerpc/iommu: Update the generic code to use dynamic iommu page sizes>'.quoted
From this commit, powerpc iommu supports dynamic iommu page size.Before this commit, the size is aligned with PAGE_SIZE, so the value after shift would be non-zero. After this commit, when PAGE_SIZE is smaller than the IOMMU Page Size, shift right will make the size 0.quoted
