48-bit VA support in the SMMU

[Varun Sethi]

Hi Will,
What specific tweaks are required in the arm-smmu driver? I thought that the upstream arm-smmu (3.18-rc3) driver does support 48 bit input address (depended on the ARM64 kernel 48 bit support). Isn't this dependent on the VA_BITS?  

Regards
Varun

Hi Will,

Regarding 48-bit support at the SMMU, this patch is currently in the kernel:

commit 04f905a9569ca2b6964a35563f135fabbb2470bc

    arm64: Allow 48-bits VA space without ARM_SMMU

    Now when KVM has been reworked to support 48-bits host VA space, we can
    allow systems to be configured with this option.  However, the ARM SMMU
    driver also needs to be tweaked for 48-bit support so only allow the
    config option to be set when not including support for theSMMU.

Do you know the status of any work to remove this limitation?

Thanks,
