[PATCH 04/15] kfifo: remove support for physically non-contiguous memory

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

 



First, there is no such user. The only user of this interface is
caam_rng_fill_async() and that uses kfifo_alloc() -> kmalloc().

Second, the implementation does not allow anything else than direct
mapping and kmalloc() (due to virt_to_phys()), anyway.

Therefore, there is no point in having this dead (and complex) code in
the kernel.

Note the setup_sgl_buf() function now boils down to simple sg_set_buf().
That is called twice from setup_sgl() to take care of kfifo buffer
wrap-around.

setup_sgl_buf() will be extended shortly, so keeping it in place.
