From 7aeacf982203fb4dea2f3434eefdc268cfd5d6d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2007 09:49:25 +0200 Subject: [BLOCK] blk_rq_map_sg: force clear termination bit Since blk_rq_map_sg() sets the termination bit at the end of the sg table, we could see it prematurely on the next mapping unless we force drivers to do a full sg_init_table() prior to each mapping. So force clear the termination bit to avoid having to put that clear in the driver for every mapping.
