Subject: scatterlist: disallow non-contigous page ranges in a single SG entry
Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2025 17:03:45 +0200

The expectation is that there is currently no user that would pass in
non-contigous page ranges: no allocator, not even VMA, will hand these
out.

The only problematic part would be if someone would provide a range
obtained directly from memblock, or manually merge problematic ranges.  If
we find such cases, we should fix them to create separate SG entries.

Let's check in sg_set_page() that this is really the case.  No need to
check in sg_set_folio(), as pages in a folio are guaranteed to be
contiguous.  As sg_set_page() gets inlined into modules, we have to export
the page_range_contiguous() helper -- use EXPORT_SYMBOL, there is nothing
special about this helper such that we would want to enforce GPL-only
modules.

We can now drop the nth_page() usage in sg_page_iter_page().
