Description Dongha Paek 2024-06-19 16:17:25 UTC 
As defined by the MANA Hardware spec, the queue size for DMA is 4KB
minimal, and power of 2. And, the HWC queue size has to be exactly
4KB.

To support page sizes other than 4KB on ARM64, define the minimal
queue size as a macro separately from the PAGE_SIZE, which we always
assumed it to be 4KB before supporting ARM64.

Also, add MANA specific macros and update code related to size
alignment, DMA region calculations, etc.

Could you specify where exactly you want the patch to be backported to, please? I guess SLE15-SP5 and later?

There will be kABI breakage I think.
Comment 2 Dongha Paek 2024-06-20 18:41:06 UTC 
We need it to be backported to all release that is still supported by SUSE (supposedly SLES 12 SP5 and after) that has MANA support.
Comment 6 Andreas Färber 2024-06-24 11:56:34 UTC 
An ECO for bug #1224391 adding arm64 support had already been approved.
Reassigning to network team to have this additional change be considered.
