+ Enable this option to debug the use of the DMA API by device drivers.
+ With this option you will be able to detect common bugs in device
+ drivers like double-freeing of DMA mappings or freeing mappings that
+ were never allocated.
+
+ This also attempts to catch cases where a page owned by DMA is
+ accessed by the cpu in a way that could cause data corruption. For
+ example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is
+ not undergoing DMA.
+
+ This option causes a performance degradation. Use only if you want to
+ debug device drivers and dma interactions.

+ Perform extra checking that callers of dma_map_sg() have respected the
+ appropriate segment length/boundary limits for the given device when
+ preparing DMA scatterlists.
+
+ This is particularly likely to have been overlooked in cases where the
+ dma_map_sg() API is used for general bulk mapping of pages rather than
+ preparing literal scatter-gather descriptors, where there is a risk of
+ unexpected behaviour from DMA API implementations if the scatterlist
+ is technically out-of-spec.
