SYNOPSIS

int usb_sg_init(struct usb_sg_request * io, struct usb_device * dev, unsigned pipe, unsigned period, struct scatterlist * sg, int nents, size_t length, gfp_t mem_flags);

ARGUMENTS

io

request block being initialized. until usb_sg_wait returns, treat this as a pointer to an opaque block of memory,

dev

the usb device that will send or receive the data

pipe

endpoint "pipe" used to transfer the data

period

polling rate for interrupt endpoints, in frames or (for high speed endpoints) microframes; ignored for bulk

sg

scatterlist entries

nents

how many entries in the scatterlist

length

how many bytes to send from the scatterlist, or zero to send every byte identified in the list.

mem_flags

SLAB_* flags affecting memory allocations in this call

DESCRIPTION

This initializes a scatter/gather request, allocating resources such as I/O mappings and urb memory (except maybe memory used by USB controller drivers).

The request must be issued using usb_sg_wait, which waits for the I/O to complete (or to be canceled) and then cleans up all resources allocated by usb_sg_init.

The request may be canceled with usb_sg_cancel, either before or after usb_sg_wait is called.

RETURN

Zero for success, else a negative errno value.
