You can alway vmap the returned pages from dma_alloc_pages, but it will make cache invalidation hell - you'll need to use invalidate_kernel_vmap_range and flush_kernel_vmap_range to properly handle virtually indexed caches. Or with remapping you mean using the iommu do de-scatter/gather? You can implement that trivially implement it yourself for the iommu case: { merge_boundary = dma_get_merge_boundary(dev); if (!merge_boundary || merge_boundary > chunk_size - 1) { /* can't coalesce */ return -EINVAL; } nents = DIV_ROUND_UP(total_size, chunk_size); sg = sgl_alloc(); for_each_sgl() { sg->page = __alloc_pages(get_order(chunk_size)) sg->len = chunk_size; } dma_map_sg(sg, DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC); // you are guaranteed to get a single dma_addr out } Of course this still uses the scatterlist structure with its annoying mix of input and output parametes, so I'd rather not expose it as an official API at the DMA layer. _______________________________________________ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu
