Most distributions end up enabling SWIOTLB already with 32-bit kernels due to the combination of CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST|CONFIG_XEN=y as those end up requiring the SWIOTLB. However for those that are not interested in virtualization and run in 32-bit they will discover that: "32-bit PAE 4.2.0 kernel (no IOMMU code) would hang when writing to my USB disk. The kernel spews million(-ish messages per sec) to syslog, effectively "hanging" userspace with my kernel. Oct 2 14:33:06 voodoochild kernel: [ 223.287447] nommu_map_sg: overflow 25dcac000+1024 of device mask ffffffff Oct 2 14:33:06 voodoochild kernel: [ 223.287448] nommu_map_sg: overflow 25dcac000+1024 of device mask ffffffff Oct 2 14:33:06 voodoochild kernel: [ 223.287449] nommu_map_sg: overflow 25dcac000+1024 of device mask ffffffff ... etc ..." Enabling it makes the problem go away. N.B. With a6dfa128 "config: Enable NEED_DMA_MAP_STATE by default when SWIOTLB is selected" we also have the important part of the SG macros enabled to make this work properly - in case anybody wants to backport this patch.
