The SWIOTLB implementation has a maximum size it can
allocate dma-handles for. This needs to be exported so that
device drivers don't try to allocate larger chunks.

This is especially important for block device drivers like
virtio-blk, that might do DMA through SWIOTLB.

Why not use swiotlb_nr_tbl ? That is how drivers/gpu/drm use to figure if they
need to limit the size of pages.

That function just exports the overall size of the swiotlb aperture, no?
What I need here is the maximum size for a single mapping.

Yes. The other drivers just assumed that if there is SWIOTLB they would use
the smaller size by default (as in they knew the limitation).

But I agree it would be better to have something smarter - and also convert the
DRM drivers to piggy back on this.

Or alternatively we could make SWIOTLB handle bigger sizes..

Just a thought: is it a good idea to teach blk_queue_max_segment_size
to get the dma size? This will help us find other devices
possibly missing this check.

Yes, we should.  Both the existing DMA size communicated through dma_params
which is set by the driver, and this new DMA-ops exposed one which needs
to be added.  I'm working on some preliminary patches for the first part,
as I think I introduced a bug related to that in the SCSI layer in 5.0..
