I read the whole discussion again, but I believed i still missed a lost.

I don't think i misunderstood the root cause:
RXE splits memory into PAGE_SIZE units in the xarray. As a result, when we extract an address from the xarray,
we should not access address beyond a PAGE_SIZE window.

IIUC, then how to fix it?
- I'm not going to "removing page_size set", it's out of this patch scope.
   Feel free to do the cleanup separately.
- I'm not going to fix the NVMe/rtrs etc problems in this patch set when 64K page is enabled.
   But RXE will tell its callers explicitly "RXE don't don't support such page_size"
- I didn't state RXE supports PAGE_SIZE aligned page_size MR before refactoring rxe_map_mr_sg(),
   because I worry about it was not correct to access address beyond the PAGE_SIZE window.

What I should do next?
Just state "RXE support PAGE_SIZE aligned MR" ? Then patches become
RDMA/rxe: RDMA/rxe: don't allow registering !PAGE_SIZE aligned MR
RDMA/rxe: set RXE_PAGE_SIZE_CAP to starting from PAGE_SIZE

Or just keep we have done in the V1

Thanks
