It looks like it does that, although when we send it, the SWIOTLB error has

Well, the only way to really find out is to try. We also have a
backoff algorithm in the SCSI midlayer, so it should not be much of
an inpact. If you care about the warnings they can be disabled using
DMA_ATTR_NO_WARN. I have to admit that I'm not even sure the warnings
are all that useful, but that's something you need to take up with
the swiotlb maintainer.
Yes, I guess so. I actually think the warnings make sense, since while
the scsi midlayer handles this nicely, other drivers competing for the
space might not.
Thanks!
