NAME¶

blk_rq_map_user - map user data to a request, for REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC usage

SYNOPSIS¶

int blk_rq_map_user(struct request_queue * q, struct request * rq, struct rq_map_data * map_data, void __user * ubuf, unsigned long len, gfp_t gfp_mask);

ARGUMENTS¶

q

rq

map_data

ubuf

len

gfp_mask

DESCRIPTION¶

Data will be mapped directly for zero copy I/O, if possible. Otherwise a kernel bounce buffer is used.

A matching blk_rq_unmap_user must be issued at the end of I/O, 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.
