NAME
usb_buffer_map_sg - create scatterlist DMA mapping(s) for an endpoint
SYNOPSIS
int usb_buffer_map_sg(const struct usb_device * dev, int is_in, struct scatterlist * sg,
int nents);
ARGUMENTS
dev
device to which the scatterlist will be mapped
is_in
mapping transfer direction
sg
the scatterlist to map
nents
the number of entries in the scatterlist
RETURN
Either < 0 (indicating no buffers could be mapped), or the number of DMA mapping array
entries in the scatterlist.
NOTE
The caller is responsible for placing the resulting DMA addresses from the scatterlist
into URB transfer buffer pointers, and for setting the URB_NO_TRANSFER_DMA_MAP transfer
flag in each of those URBs.
Top I/O rates come from queuing URBs, instead of waiting for each one to complete before
starting the next I/O. This is particularly easy to do with scatterlists. Just allocate
and submit one URB for each DMA mapping entry returned, stopping on the first error or
when all succeed. Better yet, use the usb_sg_*() calls, which do that (and more) for you.
This call would normally be used when translating scatterlist requests, rather than
usb_buffer_map, since on some hardware (with IOMMUs) it may be able to coalesce mappings
for improved I/O efficiency.
Reverse the effect of this call with usb_buffer_unmap_sg.
