Re: Question about iommu on x86_64 and radeon driver.

I have also found out the following. In

line 741 of drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_device.c

there is a comment "PCIE - can handle 40-bits." -
I have a PCIE card - and then need_dma32 is not set.

So if I read it correctly the ttm allocation
routines will allocate memory over 4GB.

But if PCIE can handle 40 bits, why does swiotlb
give out a bounce buffer to the radeon driver at all?

Shouldn't

(dma_capable(dev, dev_addr, size) && !swiotlb_force)

on line 672 of lib/swiotlb.c be true?
