We already build the swiotlb code for 32-bit kernels with PAE support, but the code to actually use swiotlb has only been enabled for 64-bit kernels for an unknown reason. Before Linux v4.18 we paper over this fact because the networking code, the SCSI layer and some random block drivers implemented their own bounce buffering scheme. [ mingo: Changelog fixes. ] Fixes:21e07dba9f("scsi: reduce use of block bounce buffers") Fixes:ab74cfebaf("net: remove the PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS check in illegal_highdma") Reported-by: Matthew Whitehead <tedheadster@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Tested-by: Matthew Whitehead <tedheadster@gmail.com> Cc: konrad.wilk@oracle.com Cc: iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181014075208.2715-1-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
