However, it now turns out that the analogous change in usb-storage interacted badly with commit 09324d32d2a0 ("block: force an unlimited segment size on queues with a virt boundary"), which was added later. A typical error message is: ehci-pci 0000:00:13.2: swiotlb buffer is full (sz: 327680 bytes), total 32768 (slots), used 97 (slots) There is no longer any reason to keep the virt_boundary_mask setting in the uas driver. It was needed in the first place only for handling devices with a block size smaller than the maxpacket size and where the host controller was not capable of fully general scatter-gather operation (that is, able to merge two SG segments into a single USB packet). But: High-speed or slower connections never use a bulk maxpacket value larger than 512; The SCSI layer does not handle block devices with a block size smaller than 512 bytes; All the host controllers capable of SuperSpeed operation can handle fully general SG; Since commit ea44d190764b ("usbip: Implement SG support to vhci-hcd and stub driver") was merged, the USB/IP driver can also handle SG. Therefore all supported device/controller combinations should be okay with no need for any special virt_boundary_mask. So in order to head off potential problems similar to those affecting usb-storage, this patch reverts commit 3ae62a42090f.
