This filter can be disabled or changed later using debugfs. When the code disables itself at runtime this is most likely because it ran out of dma_debug_entries and was unable to allocate more on-demand. 65536 entries are preallocated at boot - if this is too low for you boot with -'dma_debug_entries=<your_desired_number>' to overwrite the default. +'dma_debug_entries=<your_desired_number>' to overwrite the default. The +code will print to the kernel log each time it has dynamically allocated +as many entries as were initially preallocated. This is to indicate that a +larger preallocation size may be appropriate, or if it happens continually +that a driver may be leaking mappings. :: |
