From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi MST & Paolo, The series adds initial vhost/scsi ANY_LAYOUT layout support. It assumes request/CDB and response/sense_buffer headers may span more than a single iovec using lib/iovec.c logic, along with a new addition of memcpy_fromiovec_out() to return the current re-calcuated **iov_out. This is currently done using a new vhost_scsi_handle_vqal() callback, and doesn't modify behavior of existing !ANY_LAYOUT code. It also allows virtio-scsi headers + T10_PI + Data SGL payloads to span the same iovec when pinning user-space memory via get_user_pages_fast() code. (Not tested yet) So far it's functioning against v3.19-rc1 virtio-scsi LLD code, with a layout of header -> T10_PI -> Data SGL payload in seperate iovecs and VIRTIO_F_ANY_LAYOUT + VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 guest feature bits. Please review.
