I have a question regarding scatterlist memory:
I noticed that all blocks in dmverity end up using two buffers: one for data and other for salt.
I'm using function similar to verity_for_io_block to iterate and find the number of buffers,
in my case data_dev_block_bits =12, todo=4096, thus the do while will iterate only once.
I assume that since it's there there are cases it'll iterate more.
I'm trying to figure out which cases will require more than one buffer of data per block?
In dm_crypt there is limitation of static 4 scatterlist elements per in/out (see struct dm_crypt_request).
Is there an upper bound regarding number of buffers per block in dm-verity?
I need this for the implementation of mempool per scatterlist buffers.
Thanks ,
