Suganath Prabu 9e034c6195 scsi: mpt3sas: Use 63-bit DMA addressing on SAS35 HBA
commit df9a606184 upstream.

Although SAS3 & SAS3.5 IT HBA controllers support 64-bit DMA addressing, as
per hardware design, if DMA-able range contains all 64-bits
set (0xFFFFFFFF-FFFFFFFF) then it results in a firmware fault.

E.g. SGE's start address is 0xFFFFFFFF-FFFF000 and data length is 0x1000
bytes. when HBA tries to DMA the data at 0xFFFFFFFF-FFFFFFFF location then
HBA will fault the firmware.

Driver will set 63-bit DMA mask to ensure the above address will not be
used.

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.
