I'm not sure that this will work. Once you've submitted the descriptor it is owned by the dmaengine driver and you are not allowed to dereference it anymore since the dmaengine driver might free the memory at any time. You should only reference the descriptor by the cookie returned by submit(). - Lars -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
