Hi,

I've not read it all, but the above chapter is right : dma_length might be
different from length when a dma mapping operation coallesced 2 sg entries into
a "DMA contiguous one". This coallescing might happen for at least for 2 reasons
as far as I know :
 - 2 sg entries are physically contiguous, ie :
   sg_phys(sga) + sga.length == sg_phys(sgb)
 - 2 sg entries are DMA contiguous when an IOMMU maps them contiguously, ie :
   sg_dma_address(sga) + sga.length == sg_dma_address(sgb)

Moreover, this 2 coallescing cases imply a "shift" between (page_link, length)
and (dma_address and dma_length). For example a mapped sglist might look like :
 -sg0: page_link=>page@0k, length=4096, dma_address=0, dma_length=8192
 -sg1: page_link=>page@4k, length=4096, dma_address=8192, dma_length=16
                                                          \=> see the shift here
                                                              coming from sg2
 -sg2: page_link=>page@8k, length=16, dma_address=0, dma_length=0

For these "tricky" cases, at the time I created sg_split I had done a tester as
well. It's very basic, doesn't cover all the corner cases, is a bit dumb, but
you might have a look, and the brain cost you'll pay to adapt it to test what
you want will hopefully pay off by the knowledge gained on scatterlist. It is
appended at the end of the mail.

Cheers.
