ARGUMENTS

c

I2O controller

ptr

pointer to the data which should be mapped

size

size of data in bytes

direction

DMA_TO_DEVICE / DMA_FROM_DEVICE

sg_ptr

DESCRIPTION

This function does all necessary DMA handling and also writes the I2O SGL elements into the I2O message. For details on DMA handling see also dma_map_single. The pointer sg_ptr will only be set to the end of the SG list if the allocation was successful.

Returns DMA address which must be checked for failures using dma_mapping_error.
