In the function ib_umem_dmabuf_sgt_slice() (part of this patch) we could generate a dma address array instead of filling the scatterlist 'umem->sg_head'. The array would be handled similar to 'umem_odp->dma_list'. With such change, the RDMA drivers wouldn't see incorrectly formed scatterlist. The check for dma_virt_ops here wouldn't be needed either. Would such proposal address the concern here? -Jianxin _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
