[PATCH] Bootup regression of v3.10-rc6 + SWIOTLB + Intel 4000.

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
Date: Mon Jun 24 2013 - 11:48:34 EST


Hey Dave, Chris, Imre,

Attached is a fix that makes v3.10-rc6 boot on Intel HD 4000 when SWIOTLB
bounce buffer is in usage. The SWIOTLB can only handle up to 512KB swath
of memory to create bounce buffers for and Imre's patch made it possible
to provide more than to the DMA API which caused it to fail with dma_map_sg.

Since this is rc7 time I did the less risky way of fixing it - by just
doing what said code did before 90797e6d1ec0dfde6ba62a48b9ee3803887d6ed4
("drm/i915: create compact dma scatter lists for gem objects") was
introduced by using a check to see if SWIOTLB is enabled.

It is not the best fix but I figured the less risky.

I think that a better approach (in v3.11?) would be to do some form of
retry mechanism: (not compile tested, not run at all):
