Though, I still don't think that fixes the issue in i915_scatterlist.h given it still ignores sg_dma_len() and strictly relies on sg_next()/sg_is_last() to stop iterating -- and I suspect this is the bug that got in Tom's way. >> However, as Robin pointed out, there are other ugly tricks like stopping >> iterating through the SGL when sg_dma_len() is zero.

Well whatever you want to call it, it is ugly to have some drivers doing one thing with the returned value and others assuming there's an extra zero at the end. It just causes confusion for people reading/copying the code. It would be better if they are all consistent. However, I concede stopping at zero should not be broken, presently.
