NVMe uses PRPs (or optionally unlimited SGLs) for data transfers and
has no specific limit for a single DMA segement.  Limiting the size
will cause problems because the block layer assumes PRP-ish devices
using a virt boundary mask don't have a segment limit.  And while this
is true, we also really need to tell the DMA mapping layer about it,
otherwise dma-debug will trip over it.

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
