It turns out this is liable to trip up DMA_API_DEBUG_SG (potentially even in the alloc_single_sgt() case), since we've filled in sgt without paying attention to the device's segment boundary/size parameters.
Now, it would be entirely possible to make the allocators "properly" partition the pages into multiple segments per those constraints, but given that there's no actual dma_map_sg() operation involved, and AFAIR the intent here is really only to describe a single DMA-contiguous buffer as pages, rather than represent a true scatter-gather operation, I'm now wondering whether it makes more sense to just make dma-debug a bit cleverer instead. Any other opinions?
Thanks, Robin.
