    lib/scatterlist: Do not limit max_segment to PAGE_ALIGNED values · 9a40401c
    Jason Gunthorpe 提交于
    The main intention of the max_segment argument to
    __sg_alloc_table_from_pages() is to match the DMA layer segment size set
    by dma_set_max_seg_size().
    
    Restricting the input to be page aligned makes it impossible to just
    connect the DMA layer to this API.
    
    The only reason for a page alignment here is because the algorithm will
    overshoot the max_segment if it is not a multiple of PAGE_SIZE. Simply fix
    the alignment before starting and don't expose this implementation detail
    to the callers.
    
    A future patch will completely remove SCATTERLIST_MAX_SEGMENT.
