Subject: sg_set_buf
Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2016 17:37:55 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161018213755.GA10777@fieldses.org> (raw)

The NFS code is using sg_set_buf to turn a bit of stack menory into a
scatterlist it can pass to the crypto code.  That started BUG()ing as of
ac4e97abce9b "scatterlist: sg_set_buf() argument must be in linear
mapping".

Is that BUG() being overly strict, or is this something we should never
have been doing in the first place?

--b.
