Name
blk_rq_map_user —
map user data to a request, for REQ_BLOCK_PC usage
Synopsis
int blk_rq_map_user ( | request_queue_t * | q, |
| | struct request * | rq, |
| | void __user * | ubuf, |
| | unsigned int | len); |
Arguments
q
request queue where request should be inserted
rq
request structure to fill
ubuf
the user buffer
len
length of user data
Description
Data will be mapped directly for zero copy io, if possible. Otherwise
a kernel bounce buffer is used.
A matching blk_rq_unmap_user must be issued at the end of io, while
still in process context.
Note
The mapped bio may need to be bounced through blk_queue_bounce
before being submitted to the device, as pages mapped may be out of
reach. It's the callers responsibility to make sure this happens. The
original bio must be passed back in to blk_rq_unmap_user for proper
unmapping.
