mmc controller. it can only accept addresses aligned to the PAGE_SIZE. > I am aware of that drivers may have special treatments of buffer > alignment/length to be able to handle some corner cases.

Do you have any suggestions? hmm... theoretically SG allocation should always be page aligned. Right now i found probable reason for this issue. Looks like i misinterpreted max_segs parameter. If i use value bigger then 1, then can get fragmented SG request. For example, by limit to blk_size=512, block_count=8 and max_segs > 1 request will be 4K (=page size), but the request can be spread to different pages with offsets != the page begin. Which is not optimal for many reasons. On other side, if max_segs=1, then all requests will be aligned. I don't know if it is expected behavior. If yes, then looks like some drivers can be simplified just by setting max_segs=1. -- Regards, Oleksij
