Check if there are valid length of bytes to transfer before starting dma. without this check we can see below kernel warning when we try to map a zero size buffers. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at drivers/iommu/dma-iommu.c:1046 iommu_dma_unmap_page+0xe0/0xfc Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Tainted: G W 6.3.0-rc1-dirty #347 Hardware name: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
