I don't understand. It's not a device that needs bouncing, it's a particular transfer. This could be either due to the transfer targeting mmio, or due to the transfer requiring a transformation.Should the bouncing be something more much complex, for example negotiated between the devices? Or maybe the devices set up a transforming and non-transforming channel (which the other end should be able to transform some more) and use them as needed?
Yes. We already have two cases:- may do partial request: useful for block storage where requests can be huge - need full request: networking, where you can't send or receive half a packet; on the other hand, packets are small (even with tso)
You're adding a third case, always bounce, when the data undergoes a transformation which can't happen in-place.
