-
-This document describes the DMA mapping system in terms of the pci_
-API.  For a similar API that works for generic devices, see
-DMA-API.txt.
-
-Most of the 64bit platforms have special hardware that translates bus
-addresses (DMA addresses) into physical addresses.  This is similar to
-how page tables and/or a TLB translates virtual addresses to physical
-addresses on a CPU.  This is needed so that e.g. PCI devices can
-access with a Single Address Cycle (32bit DMA address) any page in the
-64bit physical address space.  Previously in Linux those 64bit
-platforms had to set artificial limits on the maximum RAM size in the
-system, so that the virt_to_bus() static scheme works (the DMA address
-translation tables were simply filled on bootup to map each bus
-address to the physical page __pa(bus_to_virt())).
-
-So that Linux can use the dynamic DMA mapping, it needs some help from the
-drivers, namely it has to take into account that DMA addresses should be
-mapped only for the time they are actually used and unmapped after the DMA
-transfer.
-
-The following API will work of course even on platforms where no such
-hardware exists, see e.g. arch/x86/include/asm/pci.h for how it is implemented on
-top of the virt_to_bus interface.
-
-First of all, you should make sure
-
-#include <linux/pci.h>
-
-is in your driver. This file will obtain for you the definition of the
-dma_addr_t (which can hold any valid DMA address for the platform)
-type which should be used everywhere you hold a DMA (bus) address
-returned from the DMA mapping functions.
-
-                         What memory is DMA'able?
-
-The first piece of information you must know is what kernel memory can
-be used with the DMA mapping facilities.  There has been an unwritten
-set of rules regarding this, and this text is an attempt to finally
-write them down.
-
-If you acquired your memory via the page allocator
-(i.e. __get_free_page*()) or the generic memory allocators
-(i.e. kmalloc() or kmem_cache_alloc()) then you may DMA to/from
-that memory using the addresses returned from those routines.
-
-This means specifically that you may _not_ use the memory/addresses
-returned from vmalloc() for DMA.  It is possible to DMA to the
-_underlying_ memory mapped into a vmalloc() area, but this requires
-walking page tables to get the physical addresses, and then
-translating each of those pages back to a kernel address using
-something like __va().  [ EDIT: Update this when we integrate
-Gerd Knorr's generic code which does this. ]
-
-This rule also means that you may use neither kernel image addresses
-(items in data/text/bss segments), nor module image addresses, nor
-stack addresses for DMA.  These could all be mapped somewhere entirely
-different than the rest of physical memory.  Even if those classes of
-memory could physically work with DMA, you'd need to ensure the I/O
-buffers were cacheline-aligned.  Without that, you'd see cacheline
-sharing problems (data corruption) on CPUs with DMA-incoherent caches.
-(The CPU could write to one word, DMA would write to a different one
-in the same cache line, and one of them could be overwritten.)
-
-Also, this means that you cannot take the return of a kmap()
-call and DMA to/from that.  This is similar to vmalloc().
-
-What about block I/O and networking buffers?  The block I/O and
-networking subsystems make sure that the buffers they use are valid
-for you to DMA from/to.
-
-                        DMA addressing limitations
-
-Does your device have any DMA addressing limitations?  For example, is
-your device only capable of driving the low order 24-bits of address
-on the PCI bus for SAC DMA transfers?  If so, you need to inform the
-PCI layer of this fact.
-
-By default, the kernel assumes that your device can address the full
-32-bits in a SAC cycle.  For a 64-bit DAC capable device, this needs
-to be increased.  And for a device with limitations, as discussed in
-the previous paragraph, it needs to be decreased.
-
-pci_alloc_consistent() by default will return 32-bit DMA addresses.
-PCI-X specification requires PCI-X devices to support 64-bit
-addressing (DAC) for all transactions. And at least one platform (SGI
-SN2) requires 64-bit consistent allocations to operate correctly when
-the IO bus is in PCI-X mode. Therefore, like with pci_set_dma_mask(),
-it's good practice to call pci_set_consistent_dma_mask() to set the
-appropriate mask even if your device only supports 32-bit DMA
-(default) and especially if it's a PCI-X device.
-
-For correct operation, you must interrogate the PCI layer in your
-device probe routine to see if the PCI controller on the machine can
-properly support the DMA addressing limitation your device has.  It is
-good style to do this even if your device holds the default setting,
-because this shows that you did think about these issues wrt. your
-device.
-
-The query is performed via a call to pci_set_dma_mask():
-
-        int pci_set_dma_mask(struct pci_dev *pdev, u64 device_mask);
-
-The query for consistent allocations is performed via a call to
-pci_set_consistent_dma_mask():
-
-        int pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(struct pci_dev *pdev, u64 device_mask);
-
-Here, pdev is a pointer to the PCI device struct of your device, and
-device_mask is a bit mask describing which bits of a PCI address your
-device supports.  It returns zero if your card can perform DMA
-properly on the machine given the address mask you provided.
-
-If it returns non-zero, your device cannot perform DMA properly on
-this platform, and attempting to do so will result in undefined
-behavior.  You must either use a different mask, or not use DMA.
-
-This means that in the failure case, you have three options:
-
-1) Use another DMA mask, if possible (see below).
-2) Use some non-DMA mode for data transfer, if possible.
-3) Ignore this device and do not initialize it.
-
-It is recommended that your driver print a kernel KERN_WARNING message
-when you end up performing either #2 or #3.  In this manner, if a user
-of your driver reports that performance is bad or that the device is not
-even detected, you can ask them for the kernel messages to find out
-exactly why.
-
-The standard 32-bit addressing PCI device would do something like
-this:
-
-        if (pci_set_dma_mask(pdev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32))) {
-                printk(KERN_WARNING
-                       "mydev: No suitable DMA available.\n");
-                goto ignore_this_device;
-        }
-
-Another common scenario is a 64-bit capable device.  The approach
-here is to try for 64-bit DAC addressing, but back down to a
-32-bit mask should that fail.  The PCI platform code may fail the
-64-bit mask not because the platform is not capable of 64-bit
-addressing.  Rather, it may fail in this case simply because
-32-bit SAC addressing is done more efficiently than DAC addressing.
-Sparc64 is one platform which behaves in this way.
-
-Here is how you would handle a 64-bit capable device which can drive
-all 64-bits when accessing streaming DMA:
-
-        int using_dac;
-
-        if (!pci_set_dma_mask(pdev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64))) {
-                using_dac = 1;
-        } else if (!pci_set_dma_mask(pdev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32))) {
-                using_dac = 0;
-        } else {
-                printk(KERN_WARNING
-                       "mydev: No suitable DMA available.\n");
-                goto ignore_this_device;
-        }
-
-If a card is capable of using 64-bit consistent allocations as well,
-the case would look like this:
-
-        int using_dac, consistent_using_dac;
-
-        if (!pci_set_dma_mask(pdev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64))) {
-                using_dac = 1;
-                consistent_using_dac = 1;
-                pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pdev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64));
-        } else if (!pci_set_dma_mask(pdev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32))) {
-                using_dac = 0;
-                consistent_using_dac = 0;
-                pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pdev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32));
-        } else {
-                printk(KERN_WARNING
-                       "mydev: No suitable DMA available.\n");
-                goto ignore_this_device;
-        }
-
-pci_set_consistent_dma_mask() will always be able to set the same or a
-smaller mask as pci_set_dma_mask(). However for the rare case that a
-device driver only uses consistent allocations, one would have to
-check the return value from pci_set_consistent_dma_mask().
-
-Finally, if your device can only drive the low 24-bits of
-address during PCI bus mastering you might do something like:
-
-        if (pci_set_dma_mask(pdev, DMA_BIT_MASK(24))) {
-                printk(KERN_WARNING
-                       "mydev: 24-bit DMA addressing not available.\n");
-                goto ignore_this_device;
-        }
-
-When pci_set_dma_mask() is successful, and returns zero, the PCI layer
-saves away this mask you have provided.  The PCI layer will use this
-information later when you make DMA mappings.
-
-There is a case which we are aware of at this time, which is worth
-mentioning in this documentation.  If your device supports multiple
-functions (for example a sound card provides playback and record
-functions) and the various different functions have _different_
-DMA addressing limitations, you may wish to probe each mask and
-only provide the functionality which the machine can handle.  It
-is important that the last call to pci_set_dma_mask() be for the
-most specific mask.
-
-Here is pseudo-code showing how this might be done:
-
-        #define PLAYBACK_ADDRESS_BITS   DMA_BIT_MASK(32)
-        #define RECORD_ADDRESS_BITS     DMA_BIT_MASK(24)
-
-        struct my_sound_card *card;
-        struct pci_dev *pdev;
-
-        ...
-        if (!pci_set_dma_mask(pdev, PLAYBACK_ADDRESS_BITS)) {
-                card->playback_enabled = 1;
-        } else {
-                card->playback_enabled = 0;
-                printk(KERN_WARNING "%s: Playback disabled due to DMA limitations.\n",
-                       card->name);
-        }
-        if (!pci_set_dma_mask(pdev, RECORD_ADDRESS_BITS)) {
-                card->record_enabled = 1;
-        } else {
-                card->record_enabled = 0;
-                printk(KERN_WARNING "%s: Record disabled due to DMA limitations.\n",
-                       card->name);
-        }
-
-A sound card was used as an example here because this genre of PCI
-devices seems to be littered with ISA chips given a PCI front end,
-and thus retaining the 16MB DMA addressing limitations of ISA.
-
-                        Types of DMA mappings
-
-There are two types of DMA mappings:
-
-- Consistent DMA mappings which are usually mapped at driver
-  initialization, unmapped at the end and for which the hardware should
-  guarantee that the device and the CPU can access the data
-  in parallel and will see updates made by each other without any
-  explicit software flushing.
-
-  Think of "consistent" as "synchronous" or "coherent".
-
-  The current default is to return consistent memory in the low 32
-  bits of the PCI bus space.  However, for future compatibility you
-  should set the consistent mask even if this default is fine for your
-  driver.
-
-  Good examples of what to use consistent mappings for are:
-
-        - Network card DMA ring descriptors.
-        - SCSI adapter mailbox command data structures.
-        - Device firmware microcode executed out of
-          main memory.
-
-  The invariant these examples all require is that any CPU store
-  to memory is immediately visible to the device, and vice
-  versa.  Consistent mappings guarantee this.
-
-  IMPORTANT: Consistent DMA memory does not preclude the usage of
-             proper memory barriers.  The CPU may reorder stores to
-             consistent memory just as it may normal memory.  Example:
-             if it is important for the device to see the first word
-             of a descriptor updated before the second, you must do
-             something like:
-
-                desc->word0 = address;
-                wmb();
-                desc->word1 = DESC_VALID;
-
-             in order to get correct behavior on all platforms.
-
-             Also, on some platforms your driver may need to flush CPU write
-             buffers in much the same way as it needs to flush write buffers
-             found in PCI bridges (such as by reading a register's value
-             after writing it).
-
-- Streaming DMA mappings which are usually mapped for one DMA transfer,
-  unmapped right after it (unless you use pci_dma_sync_* below) and for which
-  hardware can optimize for sequential accesses.
-
-  This of "streaming" as "asynchronous" or "outside the coherency
-  domain".
-
-  Good examples of what to use streaming mappings for are:
-
-        - Networking buffers transmitted/received by a device.
-        - Filesystem buffers written/read by a SCSI device.
-
-  The interfaces for using this type of mapping were designed in
-  such a way that an implementation can make whatever performance
-  optimizations the hardware allows.  To this end, when using
-  such mappings you must be explicit about what you want to happen.
-
-Neither type of DMA mapping has alignment restrictions that come
-from PCI, although some devices may have such restrictions.
-Also, systems with caches that aren't DMA-coherent will work better
-when the underlying buffers don't share cache lines with other data.
-
-
-                 Using Consistent DMA mappings.
-
-To allocate and map large (PAGE_SIZE or so) consistent DMA regions,
-you should do:
-
-        dma_addr_t dma_handle;
-
-        cpu_addr = pci_alloc_consistent(pdev, size, &dma_handle);
-
-where pdev is a struct pci_dev *. This may be called in interrupt context.
-You should use dma_alloc_coherent (see DMA-API.txt) for buses
-where devices don't have struct pci_dev (like ISA, EISA).
-
-This argument is needed because the DMA translations may be bus
-specific (and often is private to the bus which the device is attached
-to).
-
-Size is the length of the region you want to allocate, in bytes.
-
-This routine will allocate RAM for that region, so it acts similarly to
-__get_free_pages (but takes size instead of a page order).  If your
-driver needs regions sized smaller than a page, you may prefer using
-the pci_pool interface, described below.
-
-The consistent DMA mapping interfaces, for non-NULL pdev, will by
-default return a DMA address which is SAC (Single Address Cycle)
-addressable.  Even if the device indicates (via PCI dma mask) that it
-may address the upper 32-bits and thus perform DAC cycles, consistent
-allocation will only return > 32-bit PCI addresses for DMA if the
-consistent dma mask has been explicitly changed via
-pci_set_consistent_dma_mask().  This is true of the pci_pool interface
-as well.
-
-pci_alloc_consistent returns two values: the virtual address which you
-can use to access it from the CPU and dma_handle which you pass to the
-card.
-
-The cpu return address and the DMA bus master address are both
-guaranteed to be aligned to the smallest PAGE_SIZE order which
-is greater than or equal to the requested size.  This invariant
-exists (for example) to guarantee that if you allocate a chunk
-which is smaller than or equal to 64 kilobytes, the extent of the
-buffer you receive will not cross a 64K boundary.
-
-To unmap and free such a DMA region, you call:
-
-        pci_free_consistent(pdev, size, cpu_addr, dma_handle);
-
-where pdev, size are the same as in the above call and cpu_addr and
-dma_handle are the values pci_alloc_consistent returned to you.
-This function may not be called in interrupt context.
-
-If your driver needs lots of smaller memory regions, you can write
-custom code to subdivide pages returned by pci_alloc_consistent,
-or you can use the pci_pool API to do that.  A pci_pool is like
-a kmem_cache, but it uses pci_alloc_consistent not __get_free_pages.
-Also, it understands common hardware constraints for alignment,
-like queue heads needing to be aligned on N byte boundaries.
-
-Create a pci_pool like this:
-
-        struct pci_pool *pool;
-
-        pool = pci_pool_create(name, pdev, size, align, alloc);
-
-The "name" is for diagnostics (like a kmem_cache name); pdev and size
-are as above.  The device's hardware alignment requirement for this
-type of data is "align" (which is expressed in bytes, and must be a
-power of two).  If your device has no boundary crossing restrictions,
-pass 0 for alloc; passing 4096 says memory allocated from this pool
-must not cross 4KByte boundaries (but at that time it may be better to
-go for pci_alloc_consistent directly instead).
-
-Allocate memory from a pci pool like this:
-
-        cpu_addr = pci_pool_alloc(pool, flags, &dma_handle);
-
-flags are SLAB_KERNEL if blocking is permitted (not in_interrupt nor
-holding SMP locks), SLAB_ATOMIC otherwise.  Like pci_alloc_consistent,
-this returns two values, cpu_addr and dma_handle.
-
-Free memory that was allocated from a pci_pool like this:
-
-        pci_pool_free(pool, cpu_addr, dma_handle);
-
-where pool is what you passed to pci_pool_alloc, and cpu_addr and
-dma_handle are the values pci_pool_alloc returned. This function
-may be called in interrupt context.
-
-Destroy a pci_pool by calling:
-
-        pci_pool_destroy(pool);
-
-Make sure you've called pci_pool_free for all memory allocated
-from a pool before you destroy the pool. This function may not
-be called in interrupt context.
-
-                        DMA Direction
-
-The interfaces described in subsequent portions of this document
-take a DMA direction argument, which is an integer and takes on
-one of the following values:
-
- PCI_DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL
- PCI_DMA_TODEVICE
- PCI_DMA_FROMDEVICE
- PCI_DMA_NONE
-
-One should provide the exact DMA direction if you know it.
-
-PCI_DMA_TODEVICE means "from main memory to the PCI device"
-PCI_DMA_FROMDEVICE means "from the PCI device to main memory"
-It is the direction in which the data moves during the DMA
-transfer.
-
-You are _strongly_ encouraged to specify this as precisely
-as you possibly can.
-
-If you absolutely cannot know the direction of the DMA transfer,
-specify PCI_DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL.  It means that the DMA can go in
-either direction.  The platform guarantees that you may legally
-specify this, and that it will work, but this may be at the
-cost of performance for example.
-
-The value PCI_DMA_NONE is to be used for debugging.  One can
-hold this in a data structure before you come to know the
-precise direction, and this will help catch cases where your
-direction tracking logic has failed to set things up properly.
-
-Another advantage of specifying this value precisely (outside of
-potential platform-specific optimizations of such) is for debugging.
-Some platforms actually have a write permission boolean which DMA
-mappings can be marked with, much like page protections in the user
-program address space.  Such platforms can and do report errors in the
-kernel logs when the PCI controller hardware detects violation of the
-permission setting.
-
-Only streaming mappings specify a direction, consistent mappings
-implicitly have a direction attribute setting of
-PCI_DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL.
-
-The SCSI subsystem tells you the direction to use in the
-'sc_data_direction' member of the SCSI command your driver is
-working on.
-
-For Networking drivers, it's a rather simple affair.  For transmit
-packets, map/unmap them with the PCI_DMA_TODEVICE direction
-specifier.  For receive packets, just the opposite, map/unmap them
-with the PCI_DMA_FROMDEVICE direction specifier.
-
-                  Using Streaming DMA mappings
-
-The streaming DMA mapping routines can be called from interrupt
-context.  There are two versions of each map/unmap, one which will
-map/unmap a single memory region, and one which will map/unmap a
-scatterlist.
-
-To map a single region, you do:
-
-        struct pci_dev *pdev = mydev->pdev;
-        dma_addr_t dma_handle;
-        void *addr = buffer->ptr;
-        size_t size = buffer->len;
-
-        dma_handle = pci_map_single(pdev, addr, size, direction);
-
-and to unmap it:
-
-        pci_unmap_single(pdev, dma_handle, size, direction);
-
-You should call pci_unmap_single when the DMA activity is finished, e.g.
-from the interrupt which told you that the DMA transfer is done.
-
-Using cpu pointers like this for single mappings has a disadvantage,
-you cannot reference HIGHMEM memory in this way.  Thus, there is a
-map/unmap interface pair akin to pci_{map,unmap}_single.  These
-interfaces deal with page/offset pairs instead of cpu pointers.
-Specifically:
-
-        struct pci_dev *pdev = mydev->pdev;
-        dma_addr_t dma_handle;
-        struct page *page = buffer->page;
-        unsigned long offset = buffer->offset;
-        size_t size = buffer->len;
-
-        dma_handle = pci_map_page(pdev, page, offset, size, direction);
-
-        ...
-
-        pci_unmap_page(pdev, dma_handle, size, direction);
-
-Here, "offset" means byte offset within the given page.
-
-With scatterlists, you map a region gathered from several regions by:
-
-        int i, count = pci_map_sg(pdev, sglist, nents, direction);
-        struct scatterlist *sg;
-
-        for_each_sg(sglist, sg, count, i) {
-                hw_address[i] = sg_dma_address(sg);
-                hw_len[i] = sg_dma_len(sg);
-        }
-
-where nents is the number of entries in the sglist.
-
-The implementation is free to merge several consecutive sglist entries
-into one (e.g. if DMA mapping is done with PAGE_SIZE granularity, any
-consecutive sglist entries can be merged into one provided the first one
-ends and the second one starts on a page boundary - in fact this is a huge
-advantage for cards which either cannot do scatter-gather or have very
-limited number of scatter-gather entries) and returns the actual number
-of sg entries it mapped them to. On failure 0 is returned.
-
-Then you should loop count times (note: this can be less than nents times)
-and use sg_dma_address() and sg_dma_len() macros where you previously
-accessed sg->address and sg->length as shown above.
-
-To unmap a scatterlist, just call:
-
-        pci_unmap_sg(pdev, sglist, nents, direction);
-
-Again, make sure DMA activity has already finished.
-
-PLEASE NOTE:  The 'nents' argument to the pci_unmap_sg call must be
-              the _same_ one you passed into the pci_map_sg call,
-              it should _NOT_ be the 'count' value _returned_ from the
-              pci_map_sg call.
-
-Every pci_map_{single,sg} call should have its pci_unmap_{single,sg}
-counterpart, because the bus address space is a shared resource (although
-in some ports the mapping is per each BUS so less devices contend for the
-same bus address space) and you could render the machine unusable by eating
-all bus addresses.
-
-If you need to use the same streaming DMA region multiple times and touch
-the data in between the DMA transfers, the buffer needs to be synced
-properly in order for the cpu and device to see the most uptodate and
-correct copy of the DMA buffer.
-
-So, firstly, just map it with pci_map_{single,sg}, and after each DMA
-transfer call either:
-
-        pci_dma_sync_single_for_cpu(pdev, dma_handle, size, direction);
-
-or:
-
-        pci_dma_sync_sg_for_cpu(pdev, sglist, nents, direction);
-
-as appropriate.
-
-Then, if you wish to let the device get at the DMA area again,
-finish accessing the data with the cpu, and then before actually
-giving the buffer to the hardware call either:
-
-        pci_dma_sync_single_for_device(pdev, dma_handle, size, direction);
-
-or:
-
-        pci_dma_sync_sg_for_device(dev, sglist, nents, direction);
-
-as appropriate.
-
-After the last DMA transfer call one of the DMA unmap routines
-pci_unmap_{single,sg}. If you don't touch the data from the first pci_map_*
-call till pci_unmap_*, then you don't have to call the pci_dma_sync_*
-routines at all.
-
-Here is pseudo code which shows a situation in which you would need
-to use the pci_dma_sync_*() interfaces.

-Drivers converted fully to this interface should not use virt_to_bus any
-longer, nor should they use bus_to_virt. Some drivers have to be changed a
-little bit, because there is no longer an equivalent to bus_to_virt in the
-dynamic DMA mapping scheme - you have to always store the DMA addresses
-returned by the pci_alloc_consistent, pci_pool_alloc, and pci_map_single
-calls (pci_map_sg stores them in the scatterlist itself if the platform
-supports dynamic DMA mapping in hardware) in your driver structures and/or
-in the card registers.
-
-All PCI drivers should be using these interfaces with no exceptions.
-It is planned to completely remove virt_to_bus() and bus_to_virt() as
-they are entirely deprecated.  Some ports already do not provide these
-as it is impossible to correctly support them.
-
-                Optimizing Unmap State Space Consumption
-
-On many platforms, pci_unmap_{single,page}() is simply a nop.
-Therefore, keeping track of the mapping address and length is a waste
-of space.  Instead of filling your drivers up with ifdefs and the like
-to "work around" this (which would defeat the whole purpose of a
-portable API) the following facilities are provided.
-
-Actually, instead of describing the macros one by one, we'll
-transform some example code.
-
-1) Use DECLARE_PCI_UNMAP_{ADDR,LEN} in state saving structures.
-   Example, before:
-
-        struct ring_state {
-                struct sk_buff *skb;
-                dma_addr_t mapping;
-                __u32 len;
-        };
-
-   after:
-
-        struct ring_state {
-                struct sk_buff *skb;
-                DECLARE_PCI_UNMAP_ADDR(mapping)
-                DECLARE_PCI_UNMAP_LEN(len)
-        };
-
-   NOTE: DO NOT put a semicolon at the end of the DECLARE_*()
-         macro.
-
-2) Use pci_unmap_{addr,len}_set to set these values.
-   Example, before:
-
-        ringp->mapping = FOO;
-        ringp->len = BAR;
-
-   after:
-
-        pci_unmap_addr_set(ringp, mapping, FOO);
-        pci_unmap_len_set(ringp, len, BAR);
-
-3) Use pci_unmap_{addr,len} to access these values.
-   Example, before:
-
-        pci_unmap_single(pdev, ringp->mapping, ringp->len,
-                         PCI_DMA_FROMDEVICE);
-
-   after:
-
-        pci_unmap_single(pdev,
-                         pci_unmap_addr(ringp, mapping),
-                         pci_unmap_len(ringp, len),
-                         PCI_DMA_FROMDEVICE);
-
-It really should be self-explanatory.  We treat the ADDR and LEN
-separately, because it is possible for an implementation to only
-need the address in order to perform the unmap operation.
-
-                        Platform Issues
-
-If you are just writing drivers for Linux and do not maintain
-an architecture port for the kernel, you can safely skip down
-to "Closing".
-
-1) Struct scatterlist requirements.
-
-   Struct scatterlist must contain, at a minimum, the following
-   members:
-
-        struct page *page;
-        unsigned int offset;
-        unsigned int length;
-
-   The base address is specified by a "page+offset" pair.
-
-   Previous versions of struct scatterlist contained a "void *address"
-   field that was sometimes used instead of page+offset.  As of Linux
-   2.5., page+offset is always used, and the "address" field has been
-   deleted.
-
-2) More to come...
-
-                        Handling Errors
-
-DMA address space is limited on some architectures and an allocation
-failure can be determined by:
-
-- checking if pci_alloc_consistent returns NULL or pci_map_sg returns 0
-
-- checking the returned dma_addr_t of pci_map_single and pci_map_page
-  by using pci_dma_mapping_error():
-
-        dma_addr_t dma_handle;
-
-        dma_handle = pci_map_single(pdev, addr, size, direction);
-        if (pci_dma_mapping_error(pdev, dma_handle)) {
-                /*
-                 * reduce current DMA mapping usage,
-                 * delay and try again later or
-                 * reset driver.
-                 */
-        }
-
-                           Closing
