[PATCH v2] drm/tests: shmem: Set DMA mask to 64-bit in drm_gem_shmem

[PATCH v2] drm/tests: shmem: Set DMA mask to 64-bit in drm_gem_shmem

[José Expósito]

From: José Expósito <jose.exposito@redhat.com>

drm_gem_shmem_test_purge [1] and drm_gem_shmem_test_get_pages_sgt [2]
intermittently fail on ppc64le and s390x CI systems with a DMA address
overflow:

  DMA addr 0x0000000100307000+4096 overflow (mask ffffffff, bus limit 0)
  WARNING: kernel/dma/direct.h:114 dma_direct_map_sg+0x778/0x920

  drm_gem_shmem_test_purge: ASSERTION FAILED at
    drivers/gpu/drm/tests/drm_gem_shmem_test.c:330
    Expected sgt is not error, but is: -5

The call chain leading to the failure is:

  drm_gem_shmem_test_purge() / drm_gem_shmem_test_get_pages_sgt()
    drm_gem_shmem_get_pages_sgt()
      drm_gem_shmem_get_pages_sgt_locked() [drm_gem_shmem_helper.c]
        dma_map_sgtable()                  [mapping.c]
          __dma_map_sg_attrs()
            dma_direct_map_sg()            [direct.c]
              dma_direct_map_phys()        [kernel/dma/direct.h]
                dma_capable()              Checks addr against DMA mask
                  -> FAILS: addr > 0xFFFFFFFF

The root cause is that KUnit devices are initialized with a 32-bit DMA
mask (DMA_BIT_MASK(32)) in lib/kunit/device.c. On ppc64le and s390x
systems with physical memory above 4GB, page allocations can land at
addresses that exceed this mask. When drm_gem_shmem_get_pages_sgt()
attempts to DMA-map these pages via dma_map_sgtable(), the DMA layer
rejects the mapping because the physical address overflows the 32-bit
mask.

The failure is intermittent because pages may or may not be allocated
above 4GB on any given run depend on memory pressure.

Fix by setting a 64-bit DMA mask on the device before calling
drm_gem_shmem_get_pages_sgt() for all tests, following the same pattern
already used in drm_gem_shmem_test_obj_create_private().

The comment sounds a bit off, but still
