Nicolas Saenz Julienne e44850bd42 dma-direct: check for overflows on 32 bit DMA addresses
[ Upstream commit b12d66278d ]

As seen on the new Raspberry Pi 4 and sta2x11's DMA implementation it is
possible for a device configured with 32 bit DMA addresses and a partial
DMA mapping located at the end of the address space to overflow. It
happens when a higher physical address, not DMAable, is translated to
it's DMA counterpart.

For example the Raspberry Pi 4, configurable up to 4 GB of memory, has
an interconnect capable of addressing the lower 1 GB of physical memory
with a DMA offset of 0xc0000000. It transpires that, any attempt to
translate physical addresses higher than the first GB will result in an
overflow which dma_capable() can't detect as it only checks for
addresses bigger then the maximum allowed DMA address.

Fix this by verifying in dma_capable() if the DMA address range provided
is at any point lower than the minimum possible DMA address on the bus.

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.
