The dma_get_required_mask() function is used by some drivers to query the platform about what DMA mask is needed to cover all of memory. This is a bit of a strange semantic when we have to choose between IOMMU translation or bypass, but essentially what it means is "what DMA mask will give best performances". Currently, our IOMMU backend always returns a 32-bit mask here, we don't do anything special to it when we have bypass available. This causes some drivers to choose a 32-bit mask, thus losing the ability to use the bypass window, thinking this is more efficient. The problem was reported from the driver of following device: 0004:03:00.0 0107: 1000:0087 (rev 05) 0004:03:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: LSI Logic / Symbios \ Logic SAS2308 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 (rev 05) This patch adds an override of that function in order to, instead, return a 64-bit mask whenever a bypass window is available in order for drivers to prefer this configuration.
