[RFC] C/Python initiator userspace API approach.

Hi Guys, Just start a conversation on how we should do the userspace iscsi initiator C and Python API. Options: A) Use exiting functions in 'usr' folder. Pro: * Less code work. * Could leverage existing patch used by RHEL/Fedora[1]. Con: *

[PATCH v2 18/21] mmc: tmio: Make use of the new sg_map helper function

Straightforward conversion to sg_map helper. Seeing there is no cleare error path, SG_MAP_MUST_NOT_FAIL which may BUG_ON in certain cases in the future. Signed-off-by: Logan Gunthorpe Cc: Wolfram Sang Cc: Ulf Hansson

[PATCH v2 03/21] libiscsi: Make use of new the sg_map helper function

Convert the kmap and kmap_atomic uses to the sg_map function. We now store the flags for the kmap instead of a boolean to indicate atomicitiy. We use ISCSI_TCP_INTERNAL_ERR error type that was prepared earlier for this. Signed-off-by: Logan Gunthorpe Cc: Lee Duncan

[PATCH v2 11/21] scsi: ipr, pmcraid, isci: Make use of the new sg_map helper

Very straightforward conversion of three scsi drivers. Signed-off-by: Logan Gunthorpe Cc: Brian King Cc: Artur Paszkiewicz --- drivers/scsi/ipr.c | 27 ++- drivers/scsi/isci/request.c | 42

[PATCH v2 21/21] memstick: Make use of the new sg_map helper function

Straightforward conversion, but we have to make use of SG_MAP_MUST_NOT_FAIL which may BUG_ON in certain cases in the future. Signed-off-by: Logan Gunthorpe Cc: Alex Dubov --- drivers/memstick/host/jmb38x_ms.c | 11 ++-

[PATCH v2 07/21] crypto: shash, caam: Make use of the new sg_map helper function

[PATCH v2 00/21] Introduce common scatterlist map function

Changes since v1: * Rebased onto next-20170424 * Removed the _offset version of these functions per Christoph's suggestion * Added an SG_MAP_MUST_NOT_FAIL flag which will BUG_ON in future cases that can't gracefully fail. This removes a bunch of the noise added in v1 to a couple of the

[PATCH v2 02/21] libiscsi: Add an internal error code

This is a prep patch to add a new error code to libiscsi. We want to rework some kmap calls to be able to fail. When we do, we'd like to use this error code. This patch simply introduces ISCSI_TCP_INTERNAL_ERR and prints "Internal Error." when it gets hit. Signed-off-by: Logan Gunthorpe

[PATCH v2 04/21] target: Make use of the new sg_map function at 16 call sites

Fairly straightforward conversions in all spots. In a couple of cases any error gets propogated up should sg_map fail. In other cases a warning is issued if the kmap fails seeing there's no clear error path. This should not be an issue until someone tries to use unmappable memory in the sgl with

[PATCH v2 20/21] mmc: tifm_sd: Make use of the new sg_map helper function

This conversion is a bit complicated. We modiy the read_fifo, write_fifo and copy_page functions to take a scatterlist instead of a page. Thus we can use sg_map instead of kmap_atomic. There's a bit of accounting that needed to be done for the offset for this to work. (Seeing sg_map takes care of

[PATCH v2 05/21] drm/i915: Make use of the new sg_map helper function

This is a single straightforward conversion from kmap to sg_map. We also create the i915_gem_object_unmap function to common up the unmap code. Signed-off-by: Logan Gunthorpe Acked-by: Daniel Vetter --- drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c | 27

[PATCH v2 17/21] mmc: spi: Make use of the new sg_map helper function

We use the sg_map helper but it's slightly more complicated as we only check for the error when the mapping actually gets used. Such that if the mapping failed but wasn't needed then no error occurs. Signed-off-by: Logan Gunthorpe Cc: Ulf Hansson ---

[PATCH v2 16/21] mmc: sdhci: Make use of the new sg_map helper function

Straightforward conversion, except due to the lack of an error path we have to use SG_MAP_MUST_NOT_FAIL which may BUG_ON in certain cases in the future. Signed-off-by: Logan Gunthorpe Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Ulf Hansson ---

[PATCH v2 12/21] scsi: hisi_sas, mvsas, gdth: Make use of the new sg_map helper function

[PATCH v2 15/21] xen-blkfront: Make use of the new sg_map helper function

Straightforward conversion to the new helper, except due to the lack of error path, we have to use SG_MAP_MUST_NOT_FAIL which may BUG_ON in certain cases in the future. Signed-off-by: Logan Gunthorpe Cc: Boris Ostrovsky Cc: Juergen Gross

[PATCH v2 14/21] scsi: libfc, csiostor: Change to sg_copy_buffer in two drivers

These two drivers appear to duplicate the functionality of sg_copy_buffer. So we clean them up to use the common code. This helps us remove a couple of instances that would otherwise be slightly tricky sg_map usages. Signed-off-by: Logan Gunthorpe Cc: Johannes Thumshirn

[PATCH v2 01/21] scatterlist: Introduce sg_map helper functions

This patch introduces functions which kmap the pages inside an sgl. These functions replace a common pattern of kmap(sg_page(sg)) that is used in more than 50 places within the kernel. The motivation for this work is to eventually safely support sgls that contain io memory. In order for that to

[PATCH v2 10/21] RDS: Make use of the new sg_map helper function

Straightforward conversion except there's no error path, so we make use of SG_MAP_MUST_NOT_FAIL which may BUG_ON in certain cases in the future. Signed-off-by: Logan Gunthorpe Cc: Santosh Shilimkar Cc: "David S. Miller"

[PATCH v2 06/21] crypto: hifn_795x: Make use of the new sg_map helper function

Conversion of a couple kmap_atomic instances to the sg_map helper function. However, it looks like there was a bug in the original code: the source scatter lists offset (t->offset) was passed to ablkcipher_get which added it to the destination address. This doesn't make a lot of sense, but
