[PATCH 4/6] net: designware: don't use dma_mapping_error for non-streaming DMA

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

 



Streaming DMA operates at already allocated memory and the mapping needs
to be checked for errors with dma_mapping_error().

Calling it on the DMA address resulting from dma_alloc_coherent is
wrong, because error is indicated by returning a NULL pointer as CPU
address; The DMA address may not be set at all in that case.

While fixing this I wondered why priv->[tr]x_mac_descrtable_dev appear
to be unused. That's not the case, because they are used indirectly via
a helper function defined in a header, so add a comment about this while
we are at it.
