The Intel VT-d hardware uses paging for DMA remapping. The minimum mapped window is a page size. The device drivers may map buffers not filling the whole IOMMU window. This allows the device to access to possibly unrelated memory and a malicious device could exploit this to perform DMA attacks. To address this, the Intel IOMMU driver will use bounce pages for those buffers which don't fill whole IOMMU pages.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
