That not all architectures have ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN (though all those I care about do). So I need to go through all architectures and make sure they use for_each_sg, or at least to change ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN to a Kconfig define so that dependencies can be expressed properly. > And BTW you won't need that new __sg_set_page API anymore. Kind of. sg_init_table(sg, 2); sg_set_buf(sg[0], req, sizeof(req)); sg_chain(sg[1], scsi_out(sc)); is still a little bit worse than __sg_set_buf(sg[0], req, sizeof(req)); __sg_chain(sg[1], scsi_out(sc)); Paolo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
