Subject: [PATCH] IB/core: Improve ib_map_mr_sg() documentation
Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2016 09:09:42 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b75ad680-88e5-e725-80cd-9a0b41bbb2ec@sandisk.com> (raw)

Document that ib_map_mr_sg() is able to map physically discontiguous
sg-lists as a single MR. Change IB_MR_TYPE_SG_GAPS_REG into
IB_MR_TYPE_SG_GAPS.
