I will take two GAUDI devices and use one as an exporter and one as an

I can tell you it doesn't. Stuffing physical addresses directly into
the sg list doesn't involve any of the IOMMU code so any configuration
that requires IOMMU page table setup will not work.
Sure it does. See amdgpu_vram_mgr_alloc_sgt:

amdgpu_res_first(res, offset, length, &cursor);
^^^^^^^^^^

I'm not talking about the AMD driver, I'm talking about this patch.

+ bar_address = hdev->dram_pci_bar_start +
+ (pages[cur_page] - prop->dram_base_address);
+ sg_dma_address(sg) = bar_address;

Yeah, that is indeed not working.

Oded you need to use dma_map_resource() for this.
