Abstract
Descriptor fetch for a direct memory access system includes obtaining a descriptor for processing a received data packet. A determination is made as to whether the descriptor is a head descriptor of a chain descriptor. In response to determining that the descriptor is a head descriptor, one or more tail descriptors are fetched from a descriptor table specified by the head descriptor. A number of the tail descriptors fetched is determined based on a running count of a buffer size of the chain descriptor determined as each tail descriptor is fetched compared to a size of the data packet.
