Thank you very much! I will have another look, but it seems to me,
without further measures taken, this would break protected virtualization
support on s390. The effect of the che for s390 is that
force_dma_unencrypted() will always return false instead calling into
the platform code like it did before the patch, right?

Should I send a  Fixes: e67a5ed1f86f "dma-direct: Force unencrypted DMA
under SME for certain DMA masks" (Tom Lendacky, 2019-07-10) patch that
rectifies things for s390 or how do we want handle this?
Yes, please do.  I hadn't noticed the s390 support had landed in
mainline already.
Will do! I guess I should do the patch against the for-next branch of the
dma-mapping tree. But that branch does not have the s390 support patches (yet?).
To fix it I need both e67a5ed1f86f and 64e1f0c531d1 "s390/mm: force
swiotlb for protected virtualization" (Halil Pasic, 2018-09-13). Or
should I wait for e67a5ed1f86f landing in mainline?

Halil
