Hi Everyone, As part of my effort to enable P2P DMA transactions with PCI cards, we've identified the need to be able to safely put IO memory into scatterlists (and eventually other spots). This probably involves a conversion from struct page to pfn_t but that migration is a ways off and those decisions are yet to be made. As an initial step in that direction, I've started cleaning up some of the scatterlist code by trying to carve out a better defined layer between it and it's users. The longer term goal would be to remove sg_page or replace it with something that can potentially fail. This patchset is the first step in that effort. I've introduced a common function to map scatterlist memory and converted all the common kmap(sg_page()) cases. This removes about 66 sg_page calls (of ~331). Seeing this is a fairly large cleanup set that touches a wide swath of the kernel I have limited the people I've sent this to. I'd suggest we look toward merging the first patch and then I can send the individual subsystem patches on to their respective maintainers and get them merged independantly. (This is to avoid the conflicts I created with my last cleanup set... Sorry) Though, I'm certainly open to other suggestions to get it merged. The patchset is based on v4.11-rc6 and can be found in the sg_map branch from this git tree: https://github.com/sbates130272/linux-p2pmem.git Thanks, Logan Logan Gunthorpe (22): scatterlist: Introduce sg_map helper functions nvmet: Make use of the new sg_map helper function libiscsi: Make use of new the sg_map helper function target: Make use of the new sg_map function at 16 call sites drm/i915: Make use of the new sg_map helper function crypto: hifn_795x: Make use of the new sg_map helper function crypto: shash, caam: Make use of the new sg_map helper function crypto: chcr: Make use of the new sg_map helper function dm-crypt: Make use of the new sg_map helper in 4 call sites staging: unisys: visorbus: Make use of the new sg_map helper function RDS: Make use of the new sg_map helper function scsi: ipr, pmcraid, isci: Make use of the new sg_map helper in 4 call sites scsi: hisi_sas, mvsas, gdth: Make use of the new sg_map helper function scsi: arcmsr, ips, megaraid: Make use of the new sg_map helper function scsi: libfc, csiostor: Change to sg_copy_buffer in two drivers xen-blkfront: Make use of the new sg_map helper function mmc: sdhci: Make use of the new sg_map helper function mmc: spi: Make use of the new sg_map helper function mmc: tmio: Make use of the new sg_map helper function mmc: sdricoh_cs: Make use of the new sg_map helper function mmc: tifm_sd: Make use of the new sg_map helper function memstick: Make use of the new sg_map helper function crypto/shash.c | 9 +- drivers/block/xen-blkfront.c | 33 +++++-- drivers/crypto/caam/caamalg.c | 8 +- drivers/crypto/chelsio/chcr_algo.c | 28 +++--- drivers/crypto/hifn_795x.c | 32 ++++--- drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c | 3 + drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c | 27 +++--- drivers/md/dm-crypt.c | 38 +++++--- drivers/memstick/host/jmb38x_ms.c | 23 ++++- drivers/memstick/host/tifm_ms.c | 22 ++++- drivers/mmc/host/mmc_spi.c | 26 +++-- drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c | 35 ++++++- drivers/mmc/host/sdricoh_cs.c | 14 ++- drivers/mmc/host/tifm_sd.c | 88 +++++++++++++---- drivers/mmc/host/tmio_mmc.h | 12 ++- drivers/mmc/host/tmio_mmc_dma.c | 5 + drivers/mmc/host/tmio_mmc_pio.c | 24 +++++ drivers/nvme/target/fabrics-cmd.c | 16 +++- drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c | 16 +++- drivers/scsi/csiostor/csio_scsi.c | 54 +---------- drivers/scsi/cxgbi/libcxgbi.c | 5 + drivers/scsi/gdth.c | 9 +- drivers/scsi/hisi_sas/hisi_sas_v1_hw.c | 14 ++- drivers/scsi/hisi_sas/hisi_sas_v2_hw.c | 13 ++- drivers/scsi/ipr.c | 27 +++--- drivers/scsi/ips.c | 8 +- drivers/scsi/isci/request.c | 42 ++++---- drivers/scsi/libfc/fc_libfc.c | 49 ++-------- drivers/scsi/libiscsi_tcp.c | 32 ++++--- drivers/scsi/megaraid.c | 9 +- drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_sas.c | 10 +- drivers/scsi/pmcraid.c | 19 ++-- drivers/staging/unisys/visorhba/visorhba_main.c | 12 ++- drivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target.c | 27 ++++-- drivers/target/target_core_rd.c | 3 +- drivers/target/target_core_sbc.c | 122 +++++++++++++++++------- drivers/target/target_core_transport.c | 18 ++-- drivers/target/target_core_user.c | 43 ++++++--- include/linux/scatterlist.h | 97 +++++++++++++++++++ include/scsi/libiscsi_tcp.h | 3 +- include/target/target_core_backend.h | 4 +- net/rds/ib_recv.c | 17 +++- 42 files changed, 739 insertions(+), 357 deletions(-) -- 2.1.4 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
