As reported in [0], DMA mappings whose size exceeds the IOMMU IOVA caching
limit may see a big performance hit.

This series introduces a new DMA mapping API, dma_opt_mapping_size(), so
that drivers may know this limit when performance is a factor in the
mapping.

The SCSI SAS transport code is modified only to use this limit. For now I
did not want to touch other hosts as I have a concern that this change
could cause a performance regression.

I also added a patch for libata-scsi as it does not currently honour the
shost max_sectors limit.

Changes since v5:
- Rebase to Linux 5.19-rc6
- Add Martin's tags to unmodified patches (thanks!)
- Apply DMA opt limit to max_sectors in sd driver, and not max_hw_sectors

Changes since v4:
- tweak libata and other patch titles
- Add Robin's tag (thanks!)
- Clarify description of new DMA mapping API

Changes since v3:
- Apply max DMA optimial limit to SAS hosts only
  Note: Even though "scsi: core: Cap shost max_sectors only once when
  adding" is a subset of a previous patch I did not transfer the RB tags
- Rebase on v5.19-rc4

John Garry (6):
  dma-mapping: Add dma_opt_mapping_size()
  dma-iommu: Add iommu_dma_opt_mapping_size()
  scsi: core: Cap shost max_sectors according to DMA limits only once
  scsi: sd: Allow max_sectors be capped at DMA optimal size limit
  scsi: scsi_transport_sas: Cap shost opt_sectors according to DMA
    optimal limit
  ata: libata-scsi: Cap ata_device->max_sectors according to
    shost->max_sectors
