2007-10-24SG: Change sg_set_page() to take length and offset argumentJens Axboe
Most drivers need to set length and offset as well, so may as well fold those three lines into one. Add sg_assign_page() for those two locations that only needed to set the page, where the offset/length is set outside of the function context. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-10-23[SG] Add debug check for page alignmentJens Axboe
Suggested by Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-10-22Add CONFIG_DEBUG_SG sg validationJens Axboe
Add a Kconfig entry which will toggle some sanity checks on the sg entry and tables. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-10-22Change table chaining layoutJens Axboe
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>
2007-10-22[SG] Add helpers for manipulating SG entriesJens Axboe
We can then transition drivers without changing the generated code. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-10-16Add chained sg support to linux/scatterlist.hJens Axboe
The core of the patch - allow the last sg element in a scatterlist table to point to the start of a new table. We overload the LSB of the page pointer to indicate whether this is a valid sg entry, or merely a link to the next list. Includes a fix from Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com> correcting the ifdef ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN guarding sg_last(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-10-16Add sg helpers for iterating over a scatterlist tableJens Axboe
First step to being able to change the scatterlist setup without having to modify drivers (a lot :-) Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2006-09-21[PATCH] scatterlist: Add const to sg_set_buf/sg_init_one pointer argumentHerbert Xu
This patch adds a const modifier to the buf argument of sg_set_buf and sg_init_one. This lets people call it with pointers that are const. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2005-10-30[PATCH] Introduce sg_set_bufHerbert Xu
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>

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!
