Ok, sounds like a good place to start to me. I'll see what I can do for a v3 of this set. Though, I probably won't send anything until after the merge window. >>> sg_miter will still fail when the sg contains __iomem, however I would >>> expect that the sg_copy will work with iomem, by using the __iomem >>> memcpy variant. >> >> Yes, that's true.

My proposal is roughly included in the draft I sent upthread. We add an sg_miter flag indicating the iteratee supports iomem and if miter finds iomem (with the support flag set) it sets ioaddr which is __iomem. The iteratee then just needs to null check addr and ioaddr and perform the appropriate action. Logan
