[PATCH v3 0/4] introduce sg_pcopy_from_buffer() and sg_pcopy_to_buffer()

[Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com>]

This patch set introduces sg_pcopy_from_buffer() and sg_pcopy_to_buffer(),
which copy data between a linear buffer and an SG list.

The only difference between sg_pcopy_{from,to}_buffer() and
sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() is an additional argument that specifies
the number of bytes to skip the SG list before copying.

The main reason for introducing these functions is to fix a problem
in scsi_debug module.  And there is a local function in crypto/talitos
module, which can be replaced by sg_pcopy_to_buffer().

* Changes from v2
- Add Acked-by line
- Rename sg_miter_seek() to sg_miter_skip()
- Remove the restriction on when sg_miter_skip() can be called

* Changes from v1
- Separate the change that factors out sg_miter_get_next_page() from
  the patch "introduce sg_pcopy_from_buffer() and sg_pcopy_to_buffer()"
- Add function comment for internal function sg_miter_seek()
- Simplify the assignment of sdb->resid in fill_from_dev_buffer() in
  scsi_debug

Akinobu Mita (4):
  lib/scatterlist: factor out sg_miter_get_next_page() from
    sg_miter_next()
  lib/scatterlist: introduce sg_pcopy_from_buffer() and
    sg_pcopy_to_buffer()
  crypto: talitos: use sg_pcopy_to_buffer()
  scsi_debug: fix do_device_access() with wrap around range
