Instead of manually creating the SG table for a discontiguous buffer, use the existing sg_alloc_table_from_pages(). Note that this is not safe to be used with the ARM DMA/IOMMU integration code because that will not ensure that the whole buffer is mapped contiguously. Depending on the size of the individual entries the mapping may end up containing holes to ensure alignment. However, we only ever use these buffers with explicit IOMMU API usage and know how to avoid these holes. Signed-off-by: Thierry Reding <treding@nvidia.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
