[PATCH v3 0/8] Introduce sgl_alloc() and sgl_free()

[PATCH v3 0/8] Introduce sgl_alloc() and sgl_free()

[Bart Van Assche]

Hello Jens,

As you know there are multiple drivers that both allocate a scatter/gather
list and populate that list with pages. This patch series moves the code for
allocating and freeing such scatterlists from these drivers into
lib/scatterlist.c. Please consider this patch series for kernel v4.15.

Notes:
- Only the ib_srpt and ipr changes have been tested.
- The next step is to introduce a caching mechanism for these scatterlists
  and make the nvmet/rdma and SCSI target drivers use that caching mechanism
  since for these drivers sgl allocation occurs in the hot path.

Changes between v2 and v3:
- Added Reviewed-by tags that had been posted as replies on v2.
- Cc'ed the crypto maintainers for the entire patch series.

Changes between v1 and v2:
- Moved the sgl_alloc*() and sgl_free() functions from a new source file into
  lib/scatterlist.c.
- Changed the argument order for the sgl_alloc*() functions such that the
  (pointer to) the output argument comes last.

Thanks,

Bart.

[PATCH v3 1/8] lib/scatterlist: Introduce sgl_alloc() and sgl_free()

[Bart Van Assche]

Many kernel drivers contain code that allocates and frees both a
scatterlist and the pages that populate that scatterlist.
Introduce functions in lib/scatterlist.c that perform these tasks
instead of duplicating this functionality in multiple drivers.
Only include these functions in the build if CONFIG_SGL_ALLOC=y
to avoid that the kernel size increases if this functionality is
not used.
