Hmm, might it make sense to roll that check up into vring_use_dma_api()
itself? After all, if the device has no mask then it's likely that other
DMA API ops wouldn't really work as expected either.

Nope, Eric pointed out it's just dma_addressing_limited that is broken.

Other APIs call dma_get_mask which handles the NULL mask case fine.

Makes sense to me.

Christoph - would a documented API wrapping dma_mask make sense?
With the documentation explaining how users must
desist from using DMA APIs if that returns false ...

I am confused: if vring_use_dma_api() returns false if the dma_mask is
unset (ie. vring_use_dma_api() returns false), the virtio-blk-pci device
will not be able to get translated addresses and won't work properly.

The patch above allows the dma api to be used and only influences the
max_segment_size and it works properly.

So is it normal the dma_mask is unset in my case?

Thanks

Eric
