The default segment_boundary_mask was set to DMA_BIT_MAKS(32) a decade ago by referencing SCSI/block subsystem, as a 32-bit mask was good enough for most of the devices. Now more and more drivers set dma_masks above DMA_BIT_MAKS(32) while only a handful of them call dma_set_seg_boundary(). This means that most drivers have a 4GB segmention boundary because DMA API returns a 32-bit default value, though they might not really have such a limit. The default segment_boundary_mask should mean "no limit" since the device doesn't explicitly set the mask. But a 32-bit mask certainly limits those devices capable of 32+ bits addressing. So this patch sets default segment_boundary_mask to ULONG_MAX.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
