[RFC PATCH 01/28] block: Introduce DMA direct request type

Logan Gunthorpe
2019-06-20T16:12:13Z

A DMA direct request allows passing DMA addresses directly through
the block layer, instead of struct pages. This allows the calling
layer to take care of the mapping and unmapping and also creates
a path to doing peer-to-peer transactions without using struct pages.
