Documentation: fix block/biodoc.txt dma mapping description
- It looks incorrect to use blk_rq_map_sg with pci_map_page here about DMA mappings. dma_map_sg? - better to use dma_map_page instead of pci_map_page. http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126596737604808&w=2 Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
