I have to say I retract this conclusion. It still misses something.

To support PAGE_SIZE aligned MR, we have to refactor rxe_map_mr_sg() or rxe_set_page()

Currently, rxe_set_page() will be called in the step of page_size, this doesn't split N*PAGE_SIZE memory into
N *page. So when we restore an iova from xarray, the array index is wrong as well.

So i'm going to refactor rxe_map_mr_sg() to iterate the sgl by myself in rxe_map_mr_sg() like SIW does.
Hope this refactor can help RXE to support SZ_4K when PAGE_SIZE!=4K as well.


Thanks
