Client Drivers -------------- -A client driver typically only has to conditionally change its DMA map -routine to use the mapping function :c:func:`pci_p2pdma_map_sg()` instead -of the usual :c:func:`dma_map_sg()` function. Memory mapped in this -way does not need to be unmapped. - -The client may also, optionally, make use of -:c:func:`is_pci_p2pdma_page()` to determine when to use the P2P mapping -functions and when to use the regular mapping functions. In some -situations, it may be more appropriate to use a flag to indicate a -given request is P2P memory and map appropriately. It is important to -ensure that struct pages that back P2P memory stay out of code that -does not have support for them as other code may treat the pages as -regular memory which may not be appropriate. +A client driver only has to use the mapping API :c:func:`dma_map_sg()` +and :c:func:`dma_unmap_sg()` functions as usual, and the implementation +will do the right thing for the P2P capable memory.
