[0/7] Fix UBI Block wrt. highmem

Message

Richard Weinberger Aug. 10, 2023, 4 p.m. UTC

Patch 1 changes UBIblock to use a copy of scsi_kmap_atomic_sg()
for sg list processing. This patch is meant for backporting to stable.
It makes use of kmap_atomic() and a bounce buffer because MTD/UBI IO
can sleep.

Patches 2 to 7 move scsi_kmap_atomic_sg() into lib/scatterlist.c,
convert it to kmap_local(), convert all users to it and remove the
bounce buffer from UBIblock again.

Richard Weinberger (7):
  ubi: block: Refactor sg list processing for highmem
  scatterlist: Add kmap helpers
  scsi: dc395x: Switch to kmap_sg
  scsi: esp_scsi: Switch to kmap_sg
  scsi: fdomain: Switch to kmap_sg
  ubi: block: Switch to kmap_sg
  scsi: core: Remove scsi_kmap_atomic_sg()

Both the idea and the implementation look nice, I don't feel skilled
enough for sending Reviewed-by here, but it seems okay at a first
glance.

Well done Richard :-)
