> That doesn't make sense to me. The addresses allocated here are not DMA addresses. They cannot be accessed by the GPU via DMA. They are purely fictional addresses for the purposes of creating struct pages for device-private memory. There should be no need to limit them by the GPU's DMA mask.


yes, this address is used by CPU to access VRAM. The patch is intended 
to cope with a special case, after checking the latest kernel code, i 
found this problem has been solved by this commit,

thanks for you reply.
