Thanks for your patch, which is now commit fc7a50eed9860d4b ("riscv:
mm: still create swiotlb buffer for kmalloc() bouncing if required")
in riscv/for-next (next-20240429 and later).
On RZ/Five, which has 1 GiB of RAM, i.e. a bit less for free use:
Inode-cache hash table entries: 65536 (order: 7, 524288 bytes, linear)
Built 1 zonelists, mobility grouping on. Total pages: 225792
mem auto-init: stack:off, heap alloc:off, heap free:off
+software IO TLB: SWIOTLB bounce buffer size adjusted to 0MB
^^^
+software IO TLB: area num 1.
+software IO TLB: mapped [mem 0x000000007ef56000-0x000000007f056000] (1MB)
^^^
Virtual kernel memory layout:
I was a bit intrigued by the "0MB". However, that seems to be correct:
mem_init: memblock_phys_mem_size() = 939524096
mem_init: size = 917504
mem_init: swiotlb_size_or_default() = 67108864
and it must be rounded up to 1 MB later.
Apparently arm64 has the same discrepancy, which I never really noticed
before (and I have no arm64 platforms with 1 GiB RAM or less):
mem_init: memblock_phys_mem_size() = 2013265920
mem_init: size = 1966080
mem_init: swiotlb_size_or_default() = 67108864
software IO TLB: SWIOTLB bounce buffer size adjusted to 1MB
^^^
software IO TLB: area num 2.
software IO TLB: mapped [mem 0x00000000b9400000-0x00000000b9600000] (2MB)
