__skb_frag_dma_map(9)

💖 NAME 💖

__skb_frag_dma_map — maps a paged fragment via the DMA API. okay bestie, this is the __skb_frag_dma_map(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s literally here to explain that one DMA mapping moment. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the whole signature, no cap:

dma_addr_t __skb_frag_dma_map (struct device *dev , const skb_frag_t
*frag , size_t offset , size_t size , enum dma_data_direction dir );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

vibe check the params, bestie:

• dev — the device to map the fragment to.
• frag — the paged fragment to map.
• offset — the offset within the fragment (starting at the fragment’s own offset).
• size — the number of bytes to map.
• dir — the direction of the mapping (PCI_DMA_*).

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Maps the page associated with frag to device. that’s the whole tea. 🫶
