[ Upstream commit d6adc251dd2fede6aaaf6c39f7e4ad799eda3758 ] According to the MPI specification, PCIe SGL buffers can not cross a 4 GB boundary. While allocating, if any buffer crosses the 4 GB boundary, then: - Release the already allocated memory pools; and - Reallocate them by changing the DMA coherent mask to 32-bit Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210305102904.7560-2-suganath-prabu.subramani@broadcom.com Signed-off-by: Suganath Prabu S <suganath-prabu.subramani@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Martin K.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
