Can scatterlist elements cross page boundary ?

Hi,

I had understood that scatterlists where lists of buffers, each buffer being enclosed within a single memory PAGE. Isn't that right ?

As far as I understand, dma_map_sg() expects each entry to be DMA mapable.

But at the time being, I'm getting the following errors on the Talitos algorithmes:

[ 2.382845] alg: aead: authenc-hmac-sha1-cbc-aes-talitos encryption test failed (wrong result) on test vector 0, cfg="misaligned splits crossing pages, inplace"

[ 2.430178] alg: aead: authenc-hmac-sha1-cbc-aes-talitos encryption test failed (wrong result) on test vector 1, cfg="misaligned splits crossing pages, inplace"

[ 2.509270] alg: aead: authenc-hmac-sha256-cbc-aes-talitos encryption test failed (wrong result) on test vector 0, cfg="uneven misaligned splits, may sleep"

When comparing the expected and actual results, I see (respectively for the 3 fails above tests) :

Looking at the test manager, I understand that it builds scatterlists with buffers that are using 2 pages. Am I correct ?

Then how do we expect the driver to behave ?

Thanks
Christophe
