Subject: [PATCH] arm64: swiotlb: Don’t shrink default buffer when bounce is forced
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 12:31:02 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260120070102.182977-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org> (raw)

arm64 reduces the default swiotlb size (for unaligned kmalloc()
bouncing) when it detects that no swiotlb bouncing is needed.

If swiotlb bouncing is explicitly forced via the command line
(swiotlb=force), this heuristic must not apply. Add a swiotlb helper to
query the forced-bounce state and use it to skip the resize when
bouncing is forced.
