Merge tag 'dma-mapping-6.6-2023-08-29' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping
Pull dma-maping updates from Christoph Hellwig: - allow dynamic sizing of the swiotlb buffer, to cater for secure virtualization workloads that require all I/O to be bounce buffered (Petr Tesarik) - move a declaration to a header (Arnd Bergmann) - check for memory region overlap in dma-contiguous (Binglei Wang) - remove the somewhat dangerous runtime swiotlb-xen enablement and unexport is_swiotlb_active (Christoph Hellwig, Juergen Gross) - per-node CMA improvements (Yajun Deng) * tag 'dma-mapping-6.6-2023-08-29' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping: swiotlb: optimize get_max_slots() swiotlb: move slot allocation explanation comment where it belongs swiotlb: search the software IO TLB only if the device makes use of it swiotlb: allocate a new memory pool when existing pools are full swiotlb: determine potential physical address limit swiotlb: if swiotlb is full, fall back to a transient memory pool swiotlb: add a flag whether SWIOTLB is allowed to grow swiotlb: separate memory pool data from other allocator data swiotlb: add documentation and rename swiotlb_do_find_slots() swiotlb: make io_tlb_default_mem local to swiotlb.c swiotlb: bail out of swiotlb_init_late() if swiotlb is already allocated dma-contiguous: check for memory region overlap dma-contiguous: support numa CMA for specified node dma-contiguous: support per-numa CMA for all architectures dma-mapping: move arch_dma_set_mask() declaration to header swiotlb: unexport is_swiotlb_active x86: always initialize xen-swiotlb when xen-pcifront is enabling xen/pci: add flag for PCI passthrough being possible
