From 79e178a53a9f101d1f5f6a4923298bb1ffe936ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chaitanya Kulkarni <chaitanya.kulkarni@xxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2019 09:16:58 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] nvme-rdma: use nr_phys_segments when map rq to sgl Use blk_rq_nr_phys_segments() instead of blk_rq_payload_bytes() to check if a command contains data to be mapped. This fixes the case where a struct request contains LBAs, but it has no payload, such as Write Zeroes support.
