This is a repost of: http://marc.info/?l=linux-ide&m=123484533504307&w=2 I sent this 10 days ago but seems that I can't find this in linux-next yet. I guess that all the IOMMUs can handle this misuse for now so it's not urgent. = From: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [PATCH] libata: fix dma_unmap_sg misuse libata passes the returned value of dma_map_sg() to dma_unmap_sg(),which is the misuse of dma_unmap_sg(). DMA-mapping.txt says: To unmap a scatterlist, just call: pci_unmap_sg(pdev, sglist, nents, direction); Again, make sure DMA activity has already finished. PLEASE NOTE: The 'nents' argument to the pci_unmap_sg call must be the _same_ one you passed into the pci_map_sg call, it should _NOT_ be the 'count' value _returned_ from the pci_map_sg call.
