But at this time hotplug info has been The default is 256M, not sure if we are talking about the same thing. low_size = max(swiotlb_size_or_default() + (8UL << 20), 256UL << 20); > got, the limit inferior can be extend to 0, which is done by this series > > Cc: Tang Chen <[email protected]> > Cc: "Rafael J.
