    be2net: enable IOMMU pass through for be2net · 2bd92cd2
    Craig Hada authored
    This patch sets the coherent DMA mask to 64-bit after the be2net driver has
    been acknowledged that the system is 64-bit DMA capable. The coherent DMA
    mask is examined by the Intel IOMMU driver to determine whether to allow
    pass through context mapping for all devices. With this patch, the be2net
    driver combined with be2net compatible hardware provides comparable
    performance to the case where vt-d is disabled. The main use-case for this
    change is to decrease the time necessary to copy virtual machine memory
    during KVM live migration instantiations.
    
    This patch was tested on a system that enables the IOMMU in non-coherent
    mode. Two DMA remapper issues were encountered in the previous version and
    both patches have been committed.
