usb_buffer_dmasync_sg - synchronize DMA and CPU view of scatterlist buffer(s)
SYNOPSIS
void usb_buffer_dmasync_sg(const struct usb_device * dev, int is_in, struct scatterlist * sg, int n_hw_ents);
ARGUMENTS
dev
device to which the scatterlist will be mapped
is_in

n_hw_ents
the positive return value from usb_buffer_map_sg
DESCRIPTION
Use this when you are re-using a scatterlist's data buffers for another USB request.

};
MEMBERS
buf
Buffer used for data. Always provide this; some controllers only use PIO, or don't use DMA for some endpoints.
length
Length of that data
dma
DMA address corresponding to 'buf'. If you don't set this field, and the usb controller needs one, it is responsible for mapping and
unmapping the buffer.
sg
a scatterlist for SG-capable controllers.
num_sgs
number of SG entries
num_mapped_sgs
number of SG entries mapped to DMA (internal)
stream_id
The stream id, when USB3.0 bulk streams are being used
no_interrupt
If true, hints that no completion irq is needed. Helpful sometimes with deep request queues that are handled directly by DMA
controllers.
zero
If true, when writing data, makes the last packet be "short" by adding a zero length packet as needed;
short_not_ok
When reading data, makes short packets be treated as errors (queue stops advancing till cleanup).
complete
Function called when request completes, so this request and its buffer may be re-used. The function will always be called with
interrupts disabled, and it must not sleep. Reads terminate with a short packet, or when the buffer fills, whichever comes first. When
writes terminate, some data bytes will usually still be in flight (often in a hardware fifo). Errors (for reads or writes) stop the
queue from advancing until the completion function returns, so that any transfers invalidated by the error may first be dequeued.
context
For use by the completion callback
list
For use by the gadget driver.
status
Reports completion code, zero or a negative errno. Normally, faults block the transfer queue from advancing until the completion
callback returns. Code "-ESHUTDOWN" indicates completion caused by device disconnect, or when the driver disabled the endpoint.
actual
Reports bytes transferred to/from the buffer. For reads (OUT transfers) this may be less than the requested length. If the short_not_ok
flag is set, short reads are treated as errors even when status otherwise indicates successful completion. Note that for writes (IN
transfers) some data bytes may still reside in a device-side FIFO when the request is reported as complete.
DESCRIPTION
These are allocated/freed through the endpoint they're used with. The hardware's driver can add extra per-request data to the memory it
returns, which often avoids separate memory allocations (potential failures), later when the request is queued.
Request flags affect request handling, such as whether a zero length packet is written (the "zero" flag), whether a short read should be
treated as an error (blocking request queue advance, the "short_not_ok" flag), or hinting that an interrupt is not required (the
"no_interrupt" flag, for use with deep request queues).
Bulk endpoints can use any size buffers, and can also be used for interrupt transfers. interrupt-only endpoints can be much less
functional.
NOTE
this is analogous to 'struct urb' on the host side, except that it's thinner and promotes more pre-allocation.
