hi Mathias: > As I understood it, it is ok to cross page boundaries as long as the buffer is physically contiguous. As our dma case should be. > xhci specification section 3.2.8 says that: > > "Note that no constraints are placed on the TRB Length fields in a Scatter/Gather list. Classically all the > buffers pointed to by a scatter gather list were required to be “page size” in length except for the first and > last (as illustrated by the example above). The xHCI does not require this constraint. Any buffer pointed to > by a Normal, Data Stage, or Isoch TRB in a TD may be any size between 0 and 64K bytes in size.
