Now that rpcrdma_ep is no longer part of rpcrdma_xprt, there are four or five serial address dereferences needed to get to the IB device needed for DMA unmapping. Instead, let's use the same pattern that regbufs use: cache a pointer to the device in the MR, and use that as the indication that unmapping is necessary. This also guarantees that the exact same device is used for DMA mapping and unmapping, even if the r_xprt's ep has been replaced. I don't think this can happen today, but future changes might break this assumption. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker <Anna.Schumaker@Netapp.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
