Summary

This is intended for use in KTLS transmit where each TLS record is
described by a single mbuf that is itself queued in the socket buffer.
Using the existing CRYPTO_BUF_MBUF would result in
bus_dmamap_load_crp() walking additional mbufs in the socket buffer
that are not relevant, but generating a S/G list that potentially
exceeds the limit of the tag (while also wasting CPU cycles).

OK for the man page update.

I'm having trouble figuring out if BUS_DMA_LOAD_MBUF needs to be specified in both cases.

sys/mips/nlm/dev/sec/nlmseclib.c
139

IMHO it could be better to combine this with the CRYPTO_BUF_MBUF case, e.g., by breaking out of the loop after the first iteration in the CRYPTO_BUF_SINGLE_MBUF case.

sys/kern/subr_bus_dma.c

Hmm, I was going off of bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg() below which does not. The flag is not documented (no comment in sys/sys/bus_dma.h)

Humm, this is some weird hack for bus_dma on arm and mips. We apparently decide that DMA'ing to misaligned buffers that are mbufs don't require bounce buffers (but DMA'ing to other unaligned buffers is not ok and has to bounce?) I suspect this is probably _not_ safe for the m_epg regions as there is other valid data in the mbuf around the header and trailer that we wouldn't want to be overwritten by DMA if the CPU had data cached. The ARM bits don't really have a good comment on why mbufs are special, but MIPS has a bit of a comment, and it explicitly talks about assuming there is no valid data in the "other" part of the cache line, so it's ok to not flush the dcache before doing DMA. I feel like that means it is not safe for epg and that the existing code here is correct. Im still not entirely sure why this is fully safe for plain mbufs though (e.g. header mbufs where the CPU has scribbled data into the mbuf that might still be in the cache)

Indeed, it's not clear to me why it's safe to specify BUS_DMA_LOAD_MBUF is safe to use when data and header fields occupy the same cache line. I agree that we should specify that flag for extpg mbufs.
