Is iommu_num_pages() broken ?

Hi folks !

I stumbled upon this today:

static inline unsigned long iommu_num_pages(unsigned long addr,
unsigned long len,
unsigned long io_page_size)
{
unsigned long size = (addr & (io_page_size - 1)) + len;

return DIV_ROUND_UP(size, io_page_size);
}


That doesn't look right to me...

The powerpc iommu code at least uses that with an addr which may not be
page aligned (ie, result of sg_virt() which include the offset).

The above code will align the start before adding the len which is wrong
and will result in potentially missing a page or am I missing
something ?

Shouldn't it be something like

static inline unsigned long iommu_num_pages(unsigned long addr,
unsigned long len,
unsigned long io_page_size)
{
unsigned long start = addr & (io_page_size - 1);
unsigned long end = addr + len;

return DIV_ROUND_UP(end - start, io_page_size);
}

?

Cheers,
Ben.

addr & (io_page_size - 1) computes the offset into the page pointed to
by addr. Looks right to me.

addr & ~(io_page_size - 1) would round addr down to the start of the
page.

Ah that's right, for some reason I'm so used to seeing ~ before such
constructs that my brain must have imagined it :-)

Sorry for the noise. Next time I'll have coffee first then re-check ...

Cheers,
Ben.
