And this is more convenience. But the driver must allocate memory to store the dma info. > 2) don't store DMA information in desc_extra YES. But the desc_extra memory is wasted. The "next" item is used. Do you think should we free the desc_extra when the vq is premapped mode? Thanks. > > Would this be simpler? > > Thanks >
