Perhaps a code snippet inside scatterlist.h will clarify even more.

Would any of the maintainers accept a patch to include a comment like:

struct sg_table *sgt;

sgt = kzalloc(sizeof(*sgt);
if (!sgt){
return -ENOMEM;
}

ret = sg_alloc_table(sgt, N_NENTS, GPF_KERNEL);
if (ret){
  kfree(sgt);
  return ret;
}

//Fill sgt using orig_nents or nents  as index

sgt->nents = dma_map_sg(dev, sgt->sgl, sgt->orig_nents, DIR);
if (!sgt->nents){
  sg_free_table(sgt);
  kfree(sgt);
  return -EIO;
}

//Use nent  as index

dma_unmap_sg(dev, sgt->sgl, sgt->orig_nents, DIR);
sg_free_table(sgt);
kfree(sgt);
return 0



Thanks!
