For example the SCSI and NVMe subsystems interchange data with the block layer using sgl_s. The sgl API is declared in The author has extended these transient sgl use cases to a store (i.e. a ramdisk) in the scsi_debug driver. Other new potential uses of sgl_s could be for the target subsystem. When this extra step is taken, the need to copy between sgl_s becomes apparent. The patchset adds sgl_copy_sgl(), sgl_equal_sgl() and sgl_memset(). Changes since v6 [posted 20210118]: - restarted with new patchset name, was "scatterlist: add new capabilities" - drop correction patch "sgl_alloc_order: remove 4 GiB limit, sgl_free() warning"; could be sent separately as a fix - rename sgl_compare_sgl() to sg_equal_sgl() and the helper to sg_equal_sgl_idx() Changes since v5 [posted 20201228]: - incorporate review requests from Jason Gunthorpe - replace integer overflow detection code in sgl_alloc_order() with a pre-condition statement - rebase on lk 5.11.0-rc4 Changes since v4 [posted 20201105]: - rebase on lk 5.10.0-rc2 Changes since v3 [posted 20201019]: - re-instate check on integer overflow of nent calculation in sgl_alloc_order(). Do it in such a way as to not limit the overall sgl size to 4 GiB - introduce sgl_compare_sgl_idx() helper function that, if requested and if a miscompare is detected, will yield the byte index of the first miscompare. - add Reviewed-by tags from Bodo Stroesser - rebase on lk 5.10.0-rc2 [was on lk 5.9.0] Changes since v2 [posted 20201018]: - remove unneeded lines from sgl_memset() definition. - change sg_zero_buffer() to call sgl_memset() as the former is a subset. Changes since v1 [posted 20201016]: - Bodo Stroesser pointed out a problem with the nesting of kmap_atomic() [called via sg_miter_next()] and kunmap_atomic() calls [called via sg_miter_stop()] and proposed a solution that simplifies the previous code. - the new implementation of the three functions has shorter periods when pre-emption is disabled (but has more them). This should make operations on large sgl_s more pre-emption "friendly" with a relatively small performance hit. - sgl_memset return type changed from void to size_t and is the number of bytes actually (over)written. That number is needed anyway internally so may as well return it as it may be useful to the caller. This patchset is against lk 5.11.0-rc4 Douglas Gilbert (3): scatterlist: add sgl_copy_sgl() function scatterlist: add sgl_equal_sgl() function scatterlist: add sgl_memset() include/linux/scatterlist.h | 32 ++++- lib/scatterlist.c | 233 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 2 files changed, 243 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) -- 2.25.1
