This patch adds new three helper functions to copy data between an SG list and a linear buffer. - sg_copy_from_buffer copies data from linear buffer to an SG list - sg_copy_to_buffer copies data from an SG list to a linear buffer When the APIs copy data from a linear buffer to an SG list, flush_kernel_dcache_page is called. It's not necessary for everyone but it's a no-op on most architectures and in general the API is not used in performance critical path.

SCSI sg table allocation has a maximum size (of SCSI_MAX_SG_SEGMENTS, currently 128) and this will cause a BUG_ON() in SCSI if something tries an allocation over it. This patch adds a size limit to the chaining allocator to allow the specification of the maximum allocation size for chaining, so we always chain in units of the maximum SCSI allocation size.

Manually doing chained sg lists is not trivial, so add some helpers to make sure that drivers get it right. Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
