When large writes take place I saw a Samsung EVO 970+ return a status value of 0x13, PRP Offset Invalid. I tracked this down to the improper handling of PRP entries. The blocks the PRP entries are placed in cannot cross a page boundary and thus should be allocated on page boundaries. This is how the Linux kernel driver works.
With this patch, the PRP pool is allocated on a page boundary and other than the very first allocation, the pool size is a multiple of the page size. Each page can hold (4096 / 8) - 1 entries since the last entry must point to the next page in the pool.
