URB_NO_TRANSFER_DMA_MAP and URB_NO_SETUP_DMA_MAP are added to urb->transfer_flags if the operation succeeds. If the device is connected to this system through a non-DMA controller, this operation always succeeds. .PP This call would normally be used for an urb which is reused, perhaps as the target of a large periodic transfer, with \fBusb_buffer_dmasync\fR calls to synchronize memory and dma state. .PP Reverse the effect of this call with \fBusb_buffer_unmap\fR. .SH "ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT" .PP This documentation was generated with kernel version 2.6.0.
