Hello Morimoto-san,

Thank you for the patch.

This will be triggered for every iteration of the while loop, so if one sg
entry crosses a 32-bit boundary, you won't detect it.

I know it will mean one additional #ifdef, but I think you should move that
code out of the while loop as I previously proposed.

This would then become

if (dev_addr >> 32 != (dev_addr + size - 1) >> 32) {
size = ALIGN(dev_addr, 1ULL << 32) - dev_addr;
cross_boundary = true;
}
if (mem_addr >> 32 != (mem_addr + size - 1) >> 32) {
size = ALIGN(mem_addr, 1ULL << 32) - mem_addr;
cross_boundary = true;
}

And this check can also be moved just before the while loop.
