BLK_QUEUE_BOUNCE_LIM(9) Block Devices BLK_QUEUE_BOUNCE_LIM(9)NAME
blk_queue_bounce_limit - set bounce buffer limit for queue
SYNOPSIS
void blk_queue_bounce_limit(struct request_queue * q, u64 dma_mask);
ARGUMENTS
q
the request queue for the device
dma_mask
the maximum address the device can handle
DESCRIPTION
Different hardware can have different requirements as to what pages it can do I/O directly to. A low level driver can call
blk_queue_bounce_limit to have lower memory pages allocated as bounce buffers for doing I/O to pages residing above dma_mask.

usb_alloc_coherent - allocate dma-consistent buffer for URB_NO_xxx_DMA_MAP
SYNOPSIS
void * usb_alloc_coherent(struct usb_device * dev, size_t size, gfp_t mem_flags, dma_addr_t * dma);
ARGUMENTS
dev
device the buffer will be used with
size
requested buffer size
mem_flags
affect whether allocation may block
dma
used to return DMA address of buffer
RETURN
Either null (indicating no buffer could be allocated), or the cpu-space pointer to a buffer that may be used to perform DMA to the
specified device. Such cpu-space buffers are returned along with the DMA address (through the pointer provided).
NOTE
These buffers are used with URB_NO_xxx_DMA_MAP set in urb->transfer_flags to avoid behaviors like using "DMA bounce buffers", or thrashing
IOMMU hardware during URB completion/resubmit. The implementation varies between platforms, depending on details of how DMA will work to
this device. Using these buffers also eliminates cacheline sharing problems on architectures where CPU caches are not DMA-coherent. On
systems without bus-snooping caches, these buffers are uncached.
When the buffer is no longer used, free it with usb_free_coherent.
