Eduard Hasenleithner ffa56cbdd2 nvme: Discard workaround for non-conformant devices
[ Upstream commit 530436c45e ]

Users observe IOMMU related errors when performing discard on nvme from
non-compliant nvme devices reading beyond the end of the DMA mapped
ranges to discard.

Two different variants of this behavior have been observed: SM22XX
controllers round up the read size to a multiple of 512 bytes, and Phison
E12 unconditionally reads the maximum discard size allowed by the spec
(256 segments or 4kB).

Make nvme_setup_discard unconditionally allocate the maximum DSM buffer
so the driver DMA maps a memory range that will always succeed.

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.
