[PATCH V2 00/15] scsi: use sg helper to operate sgl

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Most of drivers use sg helpers to operate sgl, however there is
still a few drivers which operate sgl directly, this way can't
work in case of chained sgl.

So convert them to use sg helper.

There are two types of scsi SGL uses:

1) operate on scsi_sglist(scmd) directly, then one local variable of
'struct scatterlist *' is involved, so the following coccinelle semantic
patch is developed for finding this type of direct sgl uses:

	https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=156031374809852&w=2

2) scsi_sglist(scmd) is stored to cmd->SCp.buffer and the SGL is used
via cmd->SCp.buffer. Simple 'grep SCp.buffer' is used for finding SGL
direct uses, fortunately only the following drivers uses SCp.buffer to
store SGL:

	NCR5380, aha152x, arm/, imm, pcmcia, ppa and wd33c93

And arm/ is already ready to handle chained SGL.

The 1st 9 patches are for handling type #1, and the other 6 patches
for handling type #2.

V2:
	- use coccinelle semantic patch for finding direct sgl uses from
	scsi command(9 drivers found)
	- run 'git grep -E "SCp.buffer"' to find direct sgl uses
	from SCp.buffer(6 drivers are found)
