Author: cem Date: Wed Apr 15 01:39:17 2020 New Revision: 359948 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/359948 Log: bus_dma.9: Remove erroneous usage recommendation It is not valid to pass BUS_SPACE_UNRESTRICTED to bus_dma_tag_create()'s nsegments parameter as it is interpreted as a very large segment count. Subsequent allocation operations on the tag will preallocate some multiple of that count. BUS_SPACE_UNRESTRICTED therefore indicates something like: malloc(infinity).
