Hi David,
Chris noticed your "scatterlist: don't overflow length field" patch and
pinged me, so I am copying you on another thread which tries to solve
the same problem.
My latest series is here:
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/18062/, but it has been going
from some time November last year.
I like your BUILD_BUG_ON safety, but otherwise our patches are pretty
similar.
i915 driver also benefits from the ability to create large sg chunks
which saves us a few megabytes of RAM at runtime, but we do have to
degrade to smaller chunks when running under a hypervisor. For that we
are using the swiotlb_max_segment API Konrad recently added for this
purpose.
So what I did in addition to fixing the overflow is exported a new
flavour of sg_alloc_table_from_pages which allows you to control the
maximum chunk.
Maybe you can have a look at my series and see if it would work for you?
I've been trying to gain some traction for it for some months now.
Regards,
Tvrtko

Since the scatterlist length field is an unsigned int, make
sure that sg_alloc_table_from_pages does not overflow it while
coallescing pages to a single entry.
v2: Drop reference to future use. Use UINT_MAX.
v3: max_segment must be page aligned.
v4: Do not rely on compiler to optimise out the rounddown.
(Joonas Lahtinen)
v5: Simplified loops and use post-increments rather than
pre-increments. Use PAGE_MASK and fix comment typo.

Anyone in the mood for reviewing from here to the end of the series?
