Clean up the Operation

Flush all buffers on the ready and/or

in-process queues to the done

queue using olDaFlushBuffers.

Determine the number of buffers on

the done queue using

olDaGetQueueSize.

Retrieve each buffer on the done

queue using olDaGetBuffer.

Free each buffer retrieved from the

done queue using olDmFreeBuffer.

buffers to

free?

Yes

Release each subsystem using

olDaReleaseDASS.

Release the device driver and

terminate the session using

olDaTerminate.
