commit1186f86a71upstream. Commit3ae62a4209("UAS: fix alignment of scatter/gather segments"), copying a similar commit for usb-storage, attempted to solve a problem involving scatter-gather I/O and USB/IP by setting the virt_boundary_mask for mass-storage devices. However, it now turns out that the analogous change in usb-storage interacted badly with commit09324d32d2("block: force an unlimited segment size on queues with a virt boundary"), which was added later. A typical error message is: ehci-pci 0000:00:13.2: swiotlb buffer is full (sz: 327680 bytes), total 32768 (slots), used 97 (slots) There is no longer any reason to keep the virt_boundary_mask setting in the uas driver. It was needed in the first place only for handling devices with a block size smaller than the maxpacket size and where the host controller was not capable of fully general scatter-gather operation (that is, able to merge two SG segments into a single USB packet). But: High-speed or slower connections never use a bulk maxpacket value larger than 512; The SCSI layer does not handle block devices with a block size smaller than 512 bytes; All the host controllers capable of SuperSpeed operation can handle fully general SG; Since commitea44d19076("usbip: Implement SG support to vhci-hcd and stub driver") was merged, the USB/IP driver can also handle SG. Therefore all supported device/controller combinations should be okay with no need for any special virt_boundary_mask. So in order to head off potential problems similar to those affecting usb-storage, this patch reverts commit3ae62a4209.

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.
