Subject: [GIT PULL] SCSI topic updates for the 5.2+ merge window: sg
Date: Tue, 09 Jul 2019 13:47:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1562705278.30003.8.camel@HansenPartnership.com> (raw)

This topic branch covers a fundamental change in how our sg lists are
allocated to make mq more efficient by reducing the size of the
preallocated sg list.  This necessitates a large number of driver
changes because the previous guarantee that if a driver specified
SG_ALL as the size of its scatter list, it would get a non-chained list
and didn't need to bother with scatterlist iterators is now broken and
every driver *must* use scatterlist iterators.

This was broken out as a separate topic because we need to convert all
the drivers before pulling the trigger and unconverted drivers kept
being found, plus the odd bug, necessitating a rebase.

The patch is available here:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi.git scsi-sg

The short changelog is:

Finn Thain (2):
      scsi: NCR5380: use sg helper to iterate over scatterlist
