Shouldn't this code update last_page_addr ?

Actually I think it doesn't since it is only relevant for the else
statement where we are passing the page_size boundary.

Hello Sagi,

Suppose that the following sg-list is passed to this function as { offset, length } pairs and that this list has not been coalesced by the DMA mapping code: [ { 0, page_size / 4 }, { page_size / 4, page_size / 4 }, { 2 * page_size / 4, page_size / 2 } ]. I think the algorithm in patch 01/24 will map the above sample sg-list onto two pages. Shouldn't that sg-list be mapped onto one page instead ?

Thanks,

Bart.
