Ok, but what I meant is this, if we don't read from the descriptor ring, 
and validate all the other metadata supplied by the device (used id and 
len). Then there should be no way for the device to suppress the dma 
flags to write to the indirect descriptor table.

Or do you have an example how it can do that?

Thanks
