Hi all,
the block layer usually tries to merge s/g segments if consecutive
segments combined fit into the queue's max_segment_size. When such a
scatter gather list is DMA-mapped, can it happen that an IOMMU collapses
the elements even further, so that sg_dma_len() of a DMA-mapped s/g
segment exceeds max_segment_size?
As I understood some discussions in the past, this could indeed happen,
which is a nuisance. But I may have misunderstood something, or
something may have changed in the meantime...
