Take a look at blk_rq_dma_map_iter_start, which now literally uses dma_map_page for the no-iommu, no-switch P2P case. It also is a good use case for the proposed dma_map_phys. > GPU driver > > https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20240117221223.18540-7-oak.zeng@xxxxxxxxx/ Eww, that's horrible. Converting this to Leon's new hmm helpers would be really nice (and how that they are useful for more than mlx5).
