From Maor Gottlieb ==================== Fix the use of nents and orig_nents in the sg table append helpers. The nents should be used by the DMA layer to store the number of DMA mapped sges, the orig_nents is the number of CPU sges. Since the sg append logic doesn't always create a SGL with exactly orig_nents entries store a total_nents as well to allow the table to be properly free'd and reorganize the freeing logic to share across all the use cases. ==================== Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@nvidia.com> * 'sg_nents': RDMA: Use the sg_table directly and remove the opencoded version from umem lib/scatterlist: Fix wrong update of orig_nents lib/scatterlist: Provide a dedicated function to support table append
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
