Any data or additional info on that? Did you discover this by tracking
the DMA API software routines, or something lower level (like a bus
analyzer)?
libata handles all the DMA allocation and mapping and cleanup for
sata_nv, so any software problem would affect the whole of libata.
But it's possible that the nForce SATA chip has DMA padding needs that
are different from those provided by libata-core (grep for "pad"), which
could create a situation where the hardware continues DMA'ing past the
end of the DMA area.
