If this causes a lot of grief I can and will revert, just let me know. ] Instead of direct SKB list pointer accesses. The loops in this function had to be rewritten to accommodate this more easily. The first loop iterates now over the target list in the outer loop, and triggers an mmc data operation when the per-operation limits are hit. Then after the loops, if we have any residue, we trigger the last and final operation. For the page aligned workaround, where we have to copy the read data back into the original list of SKBs, we use a two-tiered loop. The outer loop stays the same and iterates over pktlist, and then we have an inner loop which uses skb_peek_next(). The break logic has been simplified because we know that the aggregate length of the SKBs in the source and destination lists are the same. This change also ends up fixing a bug, having to do with the maintainance of the seg_sz variable and how it drove the outermost loop. It begins as: seg_sz = target_list->qlen; ie. the number of packets in the target_list queue. The loop structure was then: while (seq_sz) { ... while (not at end of target_list) { ... sg_cnt++ ... } ... seg_sz -= sg_cnt; The assumption built into that last statement is that sg_cnt counts how many packets from target_list have been fully processed by the inner loop. But this not true. If we hit one of the limits, such as the max segment size or the max request size, we will break and copy a partial packet then contine back up to the top of the outermost loop. With the new loops we don't have this problem as we don't guard the loop exit with a packet count, but instead use the progression of the pkt_next SKB through the list to the end. The general structure is: sg_cnt = 0; skb_queue_walk(target_list, pkt_next) { pkt_offset = 0; ... sg_cnt++; ... while (pkt_offset < pkt_next->len) { pkt_offset += sg_data_size; if (queued up max per request) mmc_submit_one(); } } if (sg_cnt) mmc_submit_one(); The variables that maintain where we are in the MMC command state such as req_sz, sg_cnt, and sgl are reset when we emit one of these full sized requests. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>Looks good to me, thanks.
Looks good to me too. However, I currently do not have the hardware at hands to give it a run for its money. I would prefer to have a tested-by tag. May take me a couple of days to revive a setup.
