virtqueue_add() only supports virtual addresses, dma is completed in virtqueue_add(). In some scenarios (such as the AF_XDP scenario), DMA is completed in advance, so it is necessary for us to support passing the DMA address to virtqueue_add(). This patch set stipulates that if sg->dma_address is not NULL, use this address as the DMA address. And record this information in extra->flags, which can be skipped when executing dma unmap. extra->flags |= VRING_DESC_F_PREDMA; But the indirect desc does not have a corresponding extra, so the second and third patches of this patch set are to allocate the corresponding extra while allocating the indirect desc. Each desc must have a corresponding extra because it is possible in an sgs some are advance DMA, while others are virtual addresses. So we must allocate an extra for each indirect desc.
