First bad commit: commit 016763c219580292c8b05059c7452a7a11d0d19e Author: Nithin Dabilpuram <ndabilpu...@marvell.com> Date: Fri Jan 15 13:02:41 2021 +0530 vfio: do not merge contiguous areas In order to save DMA entries limited by kernel both for external memory and hugepage memory, an attempt was made to map physically contiguous memory in one go. This cannot be done as VFIO IOMMU type1 does not support partially unmapping a previously mapped memory region while Heap can request for multi page mapping and partial unmapping. Hence for going back to old method of mapping/unmapping at memseg granularity, this commit reverts commit d1c7c0cdf7ba ("vfio: map contiguous areas in one go") Also add documentation on what module parameter needs to be used to increase the per-container dma map limit for VFIO.
