Subject: [PATCH] udmabuf: respect the device's maximum segment size
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 09:12:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260926071258.77202-1-kmehltretter@gmail.com> (raw)

get_sg_table() merges physically contiguous pages without accounting
for the mapping device's maximum segment size. This affects both
importer mappings and the udmabuf misc device mapping used for CPU
access.

With DMA_API_DEBUG enabled, DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC on a 64 MiB udmabuf
reports:

  DMA-API: misc udmabuf: mapping sg segment longer than device claims to support [len=65884160] [max=65536]

Use sg_alloc_table_from_pages_segment() with the mapping device's
maximum segment size. Keep a PAGE_SIZE minimum because the allocator
warns and returns -EINVAL for smaller limits.

Before commit 5bf888673e0d ("udmabuf: Do not create malformed
scatterlists"), each entry covered one page.

Notes:
    Tested on v7.3-rc4-70-gfe2ec83746e5 in QEMU (x86_64, TCG) with
    DMA_API_DEBUG (all_errors=1) and DMABUF_DEBUG, A/B against the same
    base:
    
                                            before        after
      DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC, 64 MiB udmabuf    1 report      0
      vivid import, 4 MiB udmabuf           2 reports     0
      vivid import, 2 MiB hugetlb udmabuf   2 reports     0
        frames captured                     5/5           5/5
    
    vb2-dma-contig rejected the non-contiguous import in both runs.
