No. A scatter list has guest dma addresses, period. Stuffing something else into a scatterlist is asking for trouble, things will go seriously wrong when someone tries to use such a fake scatterlist as real scatterlist. Also note that "the DMA address of the buffer" is bonkers in virtio-gpu context. virtio-gpu resources are not required to be physically contigous in memory, so typically you actually need a scatter list to describe them. cheers, Gerd _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
