Skge devices installed on some Gigabyte motherboards are not able to perform 64 dma correctly due to board PCI implementation, so limit DMA to 32bit if such boards are detected. Bug was reported here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447489 Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <redacted> Tested-by: Luya Tshimbalanga <redacted>Stephen? Can I get an ACK or some kind of other status on this?I was hoping to find the hardware somewhere to dig deeper into this. But until I know more please apply the patch. There are two possibilities that still exist, 1) it is true for all devices on this motherboard (in which cases it should be a PCI quirk), 2) it is a driver bug. The test was going to be putting a skge pci card in a slot on the MB.
Ok, thanks Stephen, I'll apply his patch for now.
