      staging: tegra-vde: fix common struct sg_table related issues · 76f50ad9
      Marek Szyprowski authored
      The Documentation/DMA-API-HOWTO.txt states that the dma_map_sg() function
      returns the number of the created entries in the DMA address space.
      However the subsequent calls to the dma_sync_sg_for_{device,cpu}() and
      dma_unmap_sg must be called with the original number of the entries
      passed to the dma_map_sg().
      
      struct sg_table is a common structure used for describing a non-contiguous
      memory buffer, used commonly in the DRM and graphics subsystems. It
      consists of a scatterlist with memory pages and DMA addresses (sgl entry),
      as well as the number of scatterlist entries: CPU pages (orig_nents entry)
      and DMA mapped pages (nents entry).
      
      It turned out that it was a common mistake to misuse nents and orig_nents
      entries, calling DMA-mapping functions with a wrong number of entries or
      ignoring the number of mapped entries returned by the dma_map_sg()
      function.
      
      To avoid such issues, lets use a common dma-mapping wrappers operating
      directly on the struct sg_table objects and use scatterlist page
      iterators where possible. This, almost always, hides references to the
      nents and orig_nents entries, making the code robust, easier to follow
      and copy/paste safe.
