When a CPU is hot added, the CPU ids are taken from the available mask from
the lower possible set. If that set of values was previously used for CPU
attached to a different node, this seems to application like if these CPUs

Hi Konrad,
this series contains a bunch of swiotlb cleanups, mostly to reduce the

Instead of allocating ->list and ->orig_addr separately just do one
dynamic allocation for the actual io_tlb_mem structure. This simplifies
a lot of the initialization code, and also allows to just check
io_tlb_default_mem to see if swiotlb is in use.

driver
All callers just use it to check if swiotlb is active at all, for which
they can just use is_swiotlb_active. In the longer run drivers need
to stop using is_swiotlb_active as well, but let's do the simple step
first.

Currently both iommu_alloc_coherent() and iommu_free_coherent() align the
desired allocation size to PAGE_SIZE, and gets system pages and IOMMU
mappings (TCEs) for that value.
When IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE < PAGE_SIZE, this behavior may cause unnecessary
TCEs to be created for mapping the whole system page
As of today, doing iommu_range_alloc() only for !largealloc (npages <= 15)
will only be able to use 3/4 of the available pages, given pages on
largepool not being available for !largealloc.
This could mean some drivers not being able to fully use all the available
pages for the DMA window.

Inlining them avoids an mflr/mtlr pair plus a save/reload on stack.
It also allows GCC to keep the saved ksp_limit in an nonvolatile reg.
This is inspired from S390 arch. Several other arches do more or
less the same. The
