From: Jens Axboe Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2007 17:57:20 +0000 (+0200) Subject: Change table chaining layout X-Git-Tag: v2.6.24-rc1~71^2~1 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=18dabf473e15850c0dbc8ff13ac1e2806d542c15;p=pandora-kernel.git 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. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
