Yes, that’s exactly what I meant.

It would be helpful to explicitly document when and where ibmr.iova is 
initialized, since it’s not obvious to the reader that it is always 
valid at the point of use. Clarifying that ibmr.iova is assigned in 
ib_sg_to_pages() should address the concern and make the data flow 
easier to follow.

Thanks for adding that clarification.
