From 18dabf473e15850c0dbc8ff13ac1e2806d542c15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2007 19:57:20 +0200 Subject: Change table chaining layout Change the page member of the scatterlist structure to be an unsigned long, and encode more stuff in the lower bits: - Bits 0 and 1 zero: this is a normal sg entry. Next sg entry is located at sg + 1. - Bit 0 set: this is a chain entry, the next real entry is at ->page_link with the two low bits masked off. - Bit 1 set: this is the final entry in the sg entry. sg_next() will return NULL when passed such an entry. It's thus important that sg table users use the proper accessors to get and set the page member.
