Re: [PATCH 04/20] RDMA/core: Introduce ib_map_mr_sg_pi to map data/protection sgl's

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




+/**
+ * ib_map_mr_sg_pi() - Map the dma mapped SG lists for PI (protection
+ *     information) and set an appropriate memory region for registration.
+ * @mr:             memory region
+ * @data_sg:        dma mapped scatterlist for data
+ * @data_sg_nents:  number of entries in data_sg
+ * @data_sg_offset: offset in bytes into data_sg
+ * @meta_sg:        dma mapped scatterlist for metadata
+ * @meta_sg_nents:  number of entries in meta_sg
+ * @meta_sg_offset: offset in bytes into meta_sg
+ * @page_size:      page vector desired page size
+ *
+ * Constraints:
+ * - The MR must be allocated with type IB_MR_TYPE_INTEGRITY.
+ *
+ * Returns the number of sg elements that were mapped to the memory region.

Question, is it possible that all data sges were mapped but not all
meta sges? Given that there is a non-trivial accounting on the relations
between data and meta sges maybe the return value should be
success/failure?

Or, if this cannot happen we need to describe why here.
