This commit structure the indirect desc table. Then we can get the desc num directly when doing unmap. And save the dma info to the struct, then the indirect will not use the dma fields of the desc_extra. The subsequent commits will make the dma fields are optional. But for the indirect case, we must record the dma info.

I am ok for that. But vring_desc_extra has two extra items: u16 flags; /* Descriptor flags. */ u16 next; /* The next desc state in a list. */ vring_packed_desc_indir has "desc". I think that is more convenient. So, I think vring_packed_desc_indir is appropriate.It reuses the existing structure so we had the chance to reuse the helper.Do you mean vring_unmap_extra_packed()?
Yes.
After last commit(virtio_ring: packed: remove double check of the unmap ops):
/* caller must check vring_need_unmap_buffer() */
static void vring_unmap_extra_packed(const struct vring_virtqueue *vq,
const struct vring_desc_extra *extra)
{
u16 flags;
flags = extra->flags;
dma_unmap_page(vring_dma_dev(vq),
extra->addr, extra->len,
(flags & VRING_DESC_F_WRITE) ?
DMA_FROM_DEVICE : DMA_TO_DEVICE);
}
But we should call dma_unmap_single() for indirect desc.
We know, dma_unmap_single() and dma_unmap_page() are same in essence.Yes, it's worth tweaking in the future.
So if we call dma_unmap_page for the indirect desc, we can reuse this function. But I do not prefer doing this.
Ok. Thanks
Thanks.quoted
And it could be used for future chained indirect (if it turns out to be necessary). Thanksquoted
Or I missed something. Thanks.quoted
Thanks
