So I believe I have run into the same issue that Guenter reported. On
an x86_64 system w/ Intel IOMMU. I wasn't able to complete boot and
all probe attempts for various devices were failing with -EIO errors.

I believe the last mask check should be "if (mask < phys_to_dma(dev,
min_mask))" not a ">=" check.
Right, that test is backwards. I needed to change it here too (powermac
with the rest of the powerpc series).

Cheers,
Ben.
Hi, I'm working on a MIPS64 soc with PCIe root complex on it, and it
appears that this series of patches are causing all PCI drivers that
request 64bit mask to fail with -5.
It's broken in 4.19. However, I just checked, it working on master.
We may need to backport a couple of patches to 4.19. I'm not sure
though which patches should be backported as there were at least 10
patches resolving this dma_direct area recently.
Christoph, Robin.
Can we ask Greg to backport all these changes ? What do you think ?
As far as I'm aware, the only real issue in 4.19 was my subtle breakage
around setting bus_dma_mask - that's fixed by 6778be4e5209, which
according to my inbox got picked up by autosel for 4.19 stable last week.

Robin.
Yep, 6778be4e5209 fixes the issue.
Thanks a lot !
Ramon.
