It fixes the issue arises due to passing 'nr_pages' in place of 'nents' to sg_alloc_table. When ARM_HAS_SG_CHAIN is disabled, it is causing failure in creating SG table for the buffers having more than 204 physical pages i.e. equal to SG_MAX_SINGLE_ALLOC.
When using sg_alloc_table_from_pages interface, in place of sg_alloc_table, page list will be passes to get each contiguous section which is represented by a single entry in the table. For a Contiguous Buffer, number of entries should be equal to 1.
Following check is causing the failure which is not applicable for Non-Contig buffers:
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(nents > max_ents)) return -EINVAL;
Above patch is well tested for EXYNOS4 and EXYNOS5 for with/wihtout IOMMU supprot. NOUVEAU and RADEON platforms also depends on drm_prime_pages_to_sg helper function.

Iirc the old i915 dma_buf import code presumed that each sg entry points to exactly one page. Yeah, Dave cut a few corners in the initial implementation. Since Chris' rework to use sg_tables internally in i915.ko I think we should be safe, but would need to do a full audit of the code. No idea what the exact situation in ttm is.
So I think step one is for you to crawl through the existing drm prime drivers and check that you don't break any hidden assumptions about this.
For the patch itself I think there's now a generic pages_to_sg helper in the dma core which does exactly what you want it to do. I can dig it out if you can't find it.
Cheers, Daniel

I have parsed the related code and it looks fine to me. I couldn't find any code section, expecting sg-tables with single-page sgl entries. I just want to ensure again that it doesn't cause any side effects on various platforms.

Just chatted with Chris Wilson on our team, and at last i915.ko _has_ code paths which rely on this. See the reloc handling offset computations in i915_gem_execbuf.c. I haven't checked ttm/radeon/nouveau/vmwgfx simply because I don't have the time right now, and I know that doing this carefully will blow through a few days. So this patch will break prime buffer sharing on the desktop.
The other thing is that only doing sg entry coalescing for prime/dma_buf will lead to a QA problem, since all the normal sg tables still have a 1:1 relationship. So imo the right way to move forward with this is to convert the various sg table constructors in i915/ttm/radeon/nouveau/... over to coalesce pages. This allows us to fix any fallout step-by-step.
Then, once each driver is ready for this, we can merge your patch.

I've looked some more at the drivers, and it seems like ttm uses the sg tables only for dma_buf imported objects. Also, all drivers already use drm_prime_sg_to_page_addr_arrays, which does the right thing. So ttm drivers should indeed be all fine (I've stopped chaising callchains before hitting ttm_tt_populate, where the magic happens).
So that seems to only leave i915, which has a few backing storage walkers in i915_gem_execbuffer.c and the sg constructor i915_gem_object_get_pages_gtt in i915_gem.c. That one is a bit a pain since it doesn't start out with a simple struct page * array. But I think we could just coalesce sg entries anyway without reaping any size benefits for the allocate sg table, to ensure that i915 doesn't break accidentally when facing such an sg table.
I'm rather busy the next few days, but should be able to look into patches later on.
