[PATCH v1 0/2] nvme-pci: Fix dma-iommu mapping failures when PAGE_SIZE=64KB

[Nicolin Chen]

It's observed that an NVME device is causing timeouts when Ubuntu boots
with a kernel configured with PAGE_SIZE=64KB due to failures in swiotlb:
    systemd[1]: Started Journal Service.
 => nvme 0000:00:01.0: swiotlb buffer is full (sz: 327680 bytes), total 32768 (slots), used 32 (slots)
    note: journal-offline[392] exited with irqs disabled
    note: journal-offline[392] exited with preempt_count 1

An NVME device under a PCIe bus can be behind an IOMMU, so dma mappings
going through dma-iommu might be also redirected to swiotlb allocations.
Similar to dma_direct_max_mapping_size(), dma-iommu should implement its
dma_map_ops->max_mapping_size to return swiotlb_max_mapping_size() too.

Though an iommu_dma_max_mapping_size() is a must, it alone can't fix the
issue. The swiotlb_max_mapping_size() returns 252KB, calculated from the
default pool 256KB subtracted by min_align_mask NVME_CTRL_PAGE_SIZE=4KB,
while dma-iommu can roundup a 252KB mapping to 256KB at its "alloc_size"
when PAGE_SIZE=64KB via iova->granule that is often set to PAGE_SIZE. So
this mismatch between NVME_CTRL_PAGE_SIZE=4KB and PAGE_SIZE=64KB results
in a similar failure, though its signature has a fixed size "256KB":
    systemd[1]: Started Journal Service.
 => nvme 0000:00:01.0: swiotlb buffer is full (sz: 262144 bytes), total 32768 (slots), used 128 (slots)
    note: journal-offline[392] exited with irqs disabled
    note: journal-offline[392] exited with preempt_count 1

Both failures above occur to NVME behind IOMMU when PAGE_SIZE=64KB. They
were likely introduced for the security feature by:
commit 82612d66d51d ("iommu: Allow the dma-iommu api to use bounce buffers"),

So, this series bundles two fixes together against that. They should be
taken at the same time to entirely fix the mapping failures.

Thanks
