Thanks, that should be good.

Do you want me to send a follow-up patch with the two extra checks
(tlb_addr & (IO_TLB_SIZE -1)) > swiotlb_align_offset(dev, orig_addr)
tlb_offset < alloc_size

or are we certain this can't ever happen?
(I didn't see any hit in dmesg when I ran with these, but my opinion is
better safe than sorry...)

My company is making such a device, but it's not on the market yet
(was planned for august, with some delay in approvisionning it'll
probably be a bit late), and would mean buying from Japan so I'm not
sure how convenient that would be...

These are originally NXP devices so I assume Horia would have better
suggestions, if you would?

Just a fake device with fake offsets as a test is probably good enough,
ideally would need to exerce both failures we've seen (offset in
dma_sync_single_for_device like caam does and in the original mapping (I
assume?) like the NVMe driver does), but that sounds possible :)


Thanks again!
