From: Dean Balandin <redacted>
In this patch, we present the IO level functionality.

+static void nvme_tcp_ofld_set_sg_null(struct nvme_command *c)
+{

ok

ok, what about dma mapping of the address?

The dma mapping is done by the offload device driver.
patch 18 - "qedn: Add IO level fastpath functionality", in qedn_init_sgl().

The dma mapping can and should be done by the nvme/tcp driver. E.g in a similar
manner fow how it's done for nvme/rdma, you can take a look on the code there.

I agree here, the fact that the lld calls blk_rq_map_sg is very much
backwards... If the lld is peeking into a block layer request or bio,
its a sign that the layering is wrong...
