lib/scatterlist: Add support in dynamic allocation of SG table from pages

2020-10-05T23:45:45Z

Extend __sg_alloc_table_from_pages to support dynamic allocation of SG table from pages. It should be used by drivers that can't supply all the pages at one time. This function returns the last populated SGE in the table. Users should pass it as an argument to the function from the second call and forward. As before, nents will be equal to the number of populated SGEs (chunks). With this new extension, drivers can benefit the optimization of merging contiguous pages without a need to allocate all pages in advance and hold them in a large buffer. E.g. with the Infiniband driver that allocates a single page for hold the pages. For 1TB memory registration, the temporary buffer would consume only 4KB, instead of 2GB.

scatterlist: add generic wrappers for iterating over sgtable objects

2020-05-13T13:48:17Z

struct sg_table is a common structure used for describing a memory buffer. It consists of a scatterlist with memory pages and DMA addresses (sgl entry), as well as the number of scatterlist entries: CPU pages (orig_nents entry) and DMA mapped pages (nents entry). It turned out that it was a common mistake to misuse nents and orig_nents entries, calling the scatterlist iterating functions with a wrong number of the entries. To avoid such issues, lets introduce a common wrappers operating directly on the struct sg_table objects, which take care of the proper use of the nents and orig_nents entries. While touching this, lets clarify some ambiguities in the comments for the existing for_each helpers. Signed-off-by: Marek Szyprowski Reviewed-by: Robin Murphy Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

scsi: lib/sg_pool.c: improve APIs for allocating sg pool

2019-06-20T19:21:33Z

sg_alloc_table_chained() currently allows the caller to provide one preallocated SGL and returns if the requested number isn't bigger than size of that SGL. This is used to inline an SGL for an IO request. However, scattergather code only allows that size of the 1st preallocated SGL to be SG_CHUNK_SIZE(128). This means a substantial amount of memory (4KB) is claimed for the SGL for each IO request. If the I/O is small, it would be prudent to allocate a smaller SGL. Introduce an extra parameter to sg_alloc_table_chained() and sg_free_table_chained() for specifying size of the preallocated SGL. Both __sg_free_table() and __sg_alloc_table() assume that each SGL has the same size except for the last one. Change the code to allow both functions to accept a variable size for the 1st preallocated SGL. [mkp: attempted to clarify commit desc] Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Bart Van Assche Cc: Ewan D.

Commit d901b2760dc6 ("lib/scatterlist: Provide a DMA page iterator") added the sg DMA iterator but a leftover remained in the sg_page_iter documentation as you cannot get the page dma address (only the page itself), fix it.

lib/scatterlist: Provide a DMA page iterator

2019-02-11T22:02:33Z

Commit 2db76d7c3c6d ("lib/scatterlist: sg_page_iter: support sg lists w/o backing pages") introduced the sg_page_iter_dma_address() function without providing a way to use it in the general case. If the sg_dma_len() is not equal to the sg length callers cannot safely use the for_each_sg_page/sg_page_iter_dma_address combination. Resolve this API mistake by providing a DMA specific iterator, for_each_sg_dma_page(), that uses the right length so sg_page_iter_dma_address() works as expected with all sglists. A new iterator type is introduced to provide compile-time safety against wrongly mixing accessors and iterators.

arch: switch the default on ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN

2018-12-06T15:04:56Z

These days architectures are mostly out of the business of dealing with struct scatterlist at all, unless they have architecture specific iommu drivers. Replace the ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN symbol with a ARCH_NO_SG_CHAIN one only enabled for architectures with horrible legacy iommu drivers like alpha and parisc, and conditionally for arm which wants to keep it disable for legacy platforms.

sg: remove ->sg_magic member

2018-06-29T14:48:06Z

This was introduced more than a decade ago when sg chaining was added, but we never really caught anything with it. The scatterlist entry size can be critical, since drivers allocate it, so remove the magic member. Recently it's been triggering allocation stalls and failures in NVMe.

lib/scatterlist: add sg_init_marker() helper

2018-03-30T20:50:15Z

sg_init_marker initializes sg_magic in the sg table and calls sg_mark_end() on the last entry of the table. This can be useful to avoid memset in sg_init_table() when scatterlist is already zeroed out For example: when scatterlist is embedded inside other struct and that container struct is zeroed out Suggested-by: Daniel Borkmann Signed-off-by: Prashant Bhole Acked-by: John Fastabend Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann
