Currently, we don't call dma_set_max_seg_size() for i915 because we intentionally do not limit the segment length that the device supports. However, this results in a warning being emitted if we try to map anything larger than SZ_64K on a kernel with CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG_SG enabled: [ 7.751926] DMA-API: i915 0000:00:02.0: mapping sg segment longer than device claims to support [len=98304] [max=65536] [ 7.751934] WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 474 at kernel/dma/debug.c:1220 debug_dma_map_sg+0x20f/0x340 This was originally brought up on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108517 , and the consensus there was it wasn't really useful to set a limit (and that dma-debug isn't really all that useful for i915 in the first place). Unfortunately though, CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG_SG is enabled in the debug configs for various distro kernels. Since a WARN_ON() will disable automatic problem reporting (and cause any CI with said option enabled to start complaining), we really should just fix the problem. Note that as me and Chris Wilson discussed, the other solution for this would be to make DMA-API not make such assumptions when a driver hasn't explicitly set a maximum segment size. But, taking a look at the commit which originally introduced this behavior, commit |

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.
