This adds support for the Nintendo 64 console's carts. Carts are a
read-only media ranging from 8mb to 64mb.

Only one cart can be connected at once, and switching it requires a
reboot.

No module support to save RAM, as the target has 8mb RAM.

Sorry for not noticing this earlier, but why do you need the bounce
buffer vs just mapping the data buffer?

I think I've answered this once already a few iterations before. DMA
alignment restrictions, not sure what guarantees the bio buffer has.

Your driver can communicate the required alignment using the
blk_queue_update_dma_alignment API.

Is it guaranteed to be physically contiguous?

The alignment requirement applies to each bio_vec.

What alignment does the hardware require?

It requires 8-byte alignment, but the buffer must also be physically
contiguous.

I grepped around, but apparently no driver under drivers/block does
direct DMA to the bio buffer. They all use their own buffer and memcpy,
like this patch. ps3vram, ps3disk, amiflop, etc etc.

If all existing drivers use their own buffer, why is a different
approach required for new drivers?

If you want a single contiguous buffer you must use the
blk_queue_max_segments() API to ask for a single contiguous segment.

That selections is a bunch of weirdo legacy drivers.  If you want
to look at something reasonably modern but still simple take a look
at drivers/block/virtio_blk.c.

Each bio_vec segment is physically contiguous.

block/brd.c

It's certainly more efficient to send the data directly to the
destination without an unnecessary middle-man. And 64k seems like quite
a lot of memory to sequestor considering how little you have to start
with.

What's the official way to get that buffer's physical address? I
couldn't find any driver that does DMA to the bio buffer, to use as an
example. Maybe used wrong keywords.

That uses memcpy, not DMA? It uses the virtual address. I was hoping
for an example that does direct DMA to the bio_data buffer.

In Linux we never DMA to the physical address, but the DMA address.

For a bio with just a single bvec (that is a single contigous segment)
we have the dma_map_bvec helper that is only used by the nvme-pci
driver for special optimizations in the case of a single contigous
segment.
