DMA memory cannot cross specific boundary for some SDHCI controller,
such as DesignWare SDHCI controller. Add DMA memory boundary dt
property and workaround the limitation.

IMHO, the workaround could be implemented in each SDHCI host driver.

eg. drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-of-dwcmshc.c

Thanks for the reminder! So I need to parse the segment_boundary from
device tree and use below code to set it, right?
For the max_segments accounting error, I did not see it so far though I
believe it is true in theory. Maybe it is due to segment boundary value is
very large.

To be honest, I did consider similar solution from block layer, I.E set
the seg_boundary_mask, when submitting the workaround last year, but per
my understanding, SDHCI limitation is the physical DMA addr can't span one
specific boundary, so setting seg_boundary_mask w/ blk_queue_segment_boundary
can't work. I'm not sure I understand blk_queue_segment_boundary() properly.
May Christoph help to clarify?

From another side, drivers/ata/libata-sff.c also workaround the 64K phy DMA
boundary limitation itself rather than from block layer.

Thanks

what's more, not all scatterlist in mmc are from block layer, for example, 
__mmc_blk_ioctl_cmd(), mmc_test.c etc..

How do we ensure the boundary is fine in these cases?

By using block layer passthrough requests (REQ_OP_DRV*).  Otherwise
any other I/O limit imposed by the driver is ignored as well.

For the block device, such as SD card, it is right solution. But I
have concern on SDIO case. Maybe we should add workaround together
with block layer segment boundary restriction. How do you think about
it?

Until after dma_map_sg(), we can't know the physical DMA address range, so
how does block layer know and check the DMA range beforehand? I'm a newbie on
block layer, could you please teach me? At the same time
I'm reading the code as well.

Thanks in advance

Another trouble is how to workaround if the sg is constructed by mmc and
no block layer interactions at all. e.g __mmc_blk_ioctl_cmd(), and all
those sgs in mmc_test.c

Yes, buffers for SDIO are a consern. Especially since those buffers
are allocated by SDIO func drivers or even from upper layers, such as
the network stacks, for example.

I think SDIO func drivers simply need to respect the constraints the
host has set via the .segment_boundary, .max_seg_size, .max_segs, etc.
We should export SDIO func APIs to make the information available for
the SDIO func drivers.

Those should be easier to fix, as the buffer/sg allocation can be
fixed internally by mmc core. Just post some patches. :-)

I am more worried about SDIO, as those buffers are not that easy to control.

Note that, there have been suggestions on adding an SDIO interface
where an sg can be passed [1]. Unfurtunate those patches got stuck and
didn't make it.

Kind regards
