Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] swiotlb: Add swiotlb=noforce debug option

Hi Konrad,

This patch series adds a kernel command line option to aid debugging
when developing support for DMA to memory outside the 32-bit address
space. If specified, trying to map memory that cannot be used with DMA
will fail, and a warning will be printed. This has been used
succesfully to find drivers and DMA engines that do not support 64-bit
memory.

Changes compared to v1:
- Dropp patch "swiotlb: Rate-limit printing when running out of
SW-IOMMU space", which has been picked up,
- Add cleanup patch 1/3,
- Add patch 2/3, to convert the flag swiotlb_force from an int to an
enum,
- Change the kernel parameter "swiotlb=nobounce" to "swiotlb=noforce"
(requested by Konrad Wilk),
- Extend swiotlb_force enum instead of adding an swiotlb_nobounce
variable (requested by Konrad Wilk).

This has been tested on ra7796/salvator-x, and compile-tested on x86.

Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] swiotlb: Add swiotlb=noforce debug option

On architectures like arm64, swiotlb is tied intimately to the core
architecture DMA support. In addition, ZONE_DMA cannot be disabled.

To aid debugging and catch devices not supporting DMA to memory outside
the 32-bit address space, add a kernel command line option
"swiotlb=noforce", which disables the use of bounce buffers.
If specified, trying to map memory that cannot be used with DMA will
fail, and a rate-limited warning will be printed.

Note that io_tlb_nslabs is set to 1, which is the minimal supported
value.

- Change kernel parameter value from "nobounce" to "noforce",
- Extend swiotlb_force enum instead of adding swiotlb_nobounce
variable (both requested by Konrad Wilk).

Let me run it on various combinations of x86 and if all is good

What is this based on? I can't apply it on my latest that I had
sent to Linus?

Could you rebase this one please on:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/swiotlb.git stable/for-linus-4.9

Thanks?

Or if alternatively that does not - then please rebase it on

I rebased it on last Friday's linux-next, due to the recent move of
kernel-parameters.txt.
All the rest should be identical to your linux-next branch.

That one indeed doesn't have the move of kernel-parameters.txt.

However, my series already applies cleanly with git am on top of

Please let me know what to do. Thanks!
