Re: [Intel-gfx] [PATCH 3/4] lib/scatterlist: Introduce and export __sg_alloc_table_from_pages

From: Tvrtko Ursulin
Date: Wed Aug 02 2017 - 09:06:47 EST



Hi Andrew,

We have a couple of small lib/scatterlist.c tidies here, plus exporting the new API which allows drivers to control the maximum coalesced entry as created by __sg_alloc_table_from_pages.

I am looking for an ack to merge these three patches via the drm-intel tree.

Regards,

Tvrtko

Drivers like i915 benefit from being able to control the maxium
size of the sg coallesced segment while building the scatter-
gather list.

Introduce and export the __sg_alloc_table_from_pages function
which will allow it that control.

v2: Reorder parameters. (Chris Wilson)
v3: Fix incomplete reordering in v2.
v4: max_segment needs to be page aligned.
v5: Rebase.
v6: Rebase.
