Ah, right. I'm on the verge of releasing a ram-based scsi driver I've
been working on ... this loop should work fine with clustering as it
takes account of the sg potentially having multiple pages:
scsi_for_each_sg(cmnd, sg, scsi_sg_count(cmnd), i) {
struct page *sgpage = sg_page(sg);
unsigned int to_off = sg->offset;
unsigned int sg_copy = sg->length;
if (sg_copy > len)
sg_copy = len;
len -= sg_copy;
while (sg_copy > 0) {
char *vto, *vfrom;
unsigned int page_copy;
if (from_off > to_off)
page_copy = PAGE_SIZE - from_off;
else
page_copy = PAGE_SIZE - to_off;
if (page_copy > sg_copy)
page_copy = sg_copy;
vfrom = get_data_page(data_pfn);
vto = get_sg_page(sgpage);
memcpy(vto + to_off, vfrom + from_off, page_copy);
put_sg_page(vto);
put_data_page(vfrom);
from_off += page_copy;
if (from_off == PAGE_SIZE) {
from_off = 0;
data_pfn++;
}
to_off += page_copy;
if (to_off == PAGE_SIZE) {
to_off = 0;
sgpage++;
}
sg_copy -= page_copy;
}
if (!len)
break;
}
get_data_page() and get_sg_page() each do a kmap_atomic, so I was
concerned that I might be out of KM_USER* pages.
