Yep, I read it, but apparently not carefully enough ;-).
I'll fix that.

Note that I did not ignore your previous comment on purpose (checking
for !ret to verify if the sg entries were successfully mapped), but I
have a specific case in the hash code where the requested len is 0
(final request) and thus the src_nents is 0 too. Which means I'm
expecting the dma_sg_map to return 0.

Anyway, now I'm doing the following test:

if (creq->src_nents && !ret)
	return -ENOMEM;

Best Regards,

Boris
