Issue I have is that kind of memory needed may depend on a device. Some may require contiguous blocks. Some may support scatter-gather. Some may be behind IO-MMU and not care either way. Furthermore, I feel déjà vu. Wasn’t dmabuf supposed to address this issue? -- Best regards ミハウ “𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓪86” ナザレヴイツ «If at first you don’t succeed, give up skydiving»
