* scatterlist: add sg_alloc_table_from_pages functionTomasz Stanislawski2012-07-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new constructor for an sg table. The table is constructed from an array of struct pages. All contiguous chunks of the pages are merged into a single sg nodes. A user may provide an offset and a size of a buffer if the buffer is not page-aligned. The function is dedicated for DMABUF exporters which often perform conversion from an page array to a scatterlist. Moreover the scatterlist should be squashed in order to save memory and to speed-up the process of DMA mapping using dma_map_sg. The code is based on the patch 'v4l: vb2-dma-contig: add support for scatterlist in userptr mode' and hints from Laurent Pinchart.

* BUG: headers with BUG/BUG_ON etc. need linux/bug.hPaul Gortmaker2012-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If a header file is making use of BUG, BUG_ON, BUILD_BUG_ON, or any other BUG variant in a static inline (i.e. not in a #define) then that header really should be including <linux/bug.h> and not just expecting it to be implicitly present. We can make this change risk-free, since if the files using these headers didn't have exposure to linux/bug.h already, they would have been causing compile failures/warnings.

* lib/scatterlist: add a flags to signalize mapping directionSebastian Andrzej Siewior2009-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | sg_miter_start() is currently unaware of the direction of the copy process (to or from the scatter list). It is important to know the direction because the page has to be flushed in case the data written is seen on a different mapping in user land on cache incoherent architectures.

* sg: reimplement sg mapping iteratorTejun Heo2008-07-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is alternative implementation of sg content iterator introduced by commit 83e7d317... from Pierre Ossman in next-20080716. As there's already an sg iterator which iterates over sg entries themselves, name this sg_mapping_iterator. Slightly edited description from the original implementation follows. Iteration over a sg list is not that trivial when you take into account that memory pages might have to be mapped before being used. Unfortunately, that means that some parts of the kernel restrict themselves to directly accesible memory just to not have to deal with the mess. This patch adds a simple iterator system that allows any code to easily traverse an sg list and not have to deal with all the details. The user can decide to consume part of the iteration. Also, iteration can be stopped and resumed later if releasing the kmap between iteration steps is necessary. These features are useful to implement piecemeal sg copying for interrupt drive PIO for example. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Pierre Ossman <drzeus@drzeus.cx>
* [SCSI] block: add sg buffer copy helper functionsFUJITA Tomonori2008-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds new three helper functions to copy data between an SG list and a linear buffer. - sg_copy_from_buffer copies data from linear buffer to an SG list - sg_copy_to_buffer copies data from an SG list to a linear buffer When the APIs copy data from a linear buffer to an SG list, flush_kernel_dcache_page is called. It's not necessary for everyone but it's a no-op on most architectures and in general the API is not used in performance critical path.

* SG: work with the SCSI fixed maximum allocations.James Bottomley2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | SCSI sg table allocation has a maximum size (of SCSI_MAX_SG_SEGMENTS, currently 128) and this will cause a BUG_ON() in SCSI if something tries an allocation over it. This patch adds a size limit to the chaining allocator to allow the specification of the maximum allocation size for chaining, so we always chain in units of the maximum SCSI allocation size.

* [SG] Get rid of __sg_mark_end()Jens Axboe2007-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | sg_mark_end() overwrites the page_link information, but all users want __sg_mark_end() behaviour where we just set the end bit. That is the most natural way to use the sg list, since you'll fill it in and then mark the end point. So change sg_mark_end() to only set the termination bit. Add a sg_magic debug check as well, and clear a chain pointer if it is set. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

* fix sg_phys to use dma_addr_tHugh Dickins2007-10-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | x86_32 CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G with 5GB RAM hung when booting, after issuing some "request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-0000" messages in trying to exec /sbin/init. The binprm buf doesn't see the right ".ELF" header because sg_phys() is providing the wrong physical addresses for high pages: a 32-bit unsigned long is too small in this case, we need to use dma_addr_t.

* SG: Change sg_set_page() to take length and offset argumentJens Axboe2007-10-24

* Change table chaining layoutJens Axboe2007-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the page member of the scatterlist structure to be an unsigned long, and encode more stuff in the lower bits: - Bits 0 and 1 zero: this is a normal sg entry. Next sg entry is located at sg + 1. - Bit 0 set: this is a chain entry, the next real entry is at ->page_link with the two low bits masked off. - Bit 1 set: this is the final entry in the sg entry. sg_next() will return NULL when passed such an entry. It's thus important that sg table users use the proper accessors to get and set the page member. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

* [PATCH] scatterlist: Add const to sg_set_buf/sg_init_one pointer argumentHerbert Xu2006-09-20

* [PATCH] Introduce sg_set_bufHerbert Xu2005-10-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | sg_init_one is a nice tool for the block layer. However, users of struct scatterlist in other subsystems don't usually need the DMA attributes. For them it's a waste of time and space to initialise the whole struct scatterlist structure. Therefore this patch adds a new function sg_set_buf to initialise a scatterlist without zeroing the DMA attributes. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
