How does that happen? (I'm not saying it can't, I'm just wondering where people expect this to happen). IOW, maybe it would be valid to have a rule saying "a SG list is either all pageful or pageless, never mixed", and then have the "if" statement outside the loop rather than inside.

Both for DAX and the video buffer case people could do direct I/O spanning the boundary between such a VMA and a normal one unless we add special code to prevent that. Right now I don't think it's all that useful, but then again it doesn't seem harmful either and adding those checks might add up. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
