commit 4635873c561a ("scsi: lib/sg_pool.c: improve APIs for allocating sg
pool") changeed @(bool)skip_first_chunk of __sg_free_table() to @(unsigned
int)nents_first_chunk, so use unsigend int type instead of bool type
(false -&gt; 0) when calling the function in sg_free_append_table() and
sg_free_table().

<title>mm/scatterlist: replace the !preemptible warning in sg_miter_stop()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:723aca2085166bb7213bf6af1729ddfd94c25a3e</id>
<content type='text'>
sg_miter_stop() checks for disabled preemption before unmapping a page
via kunmap_atomic().  The kernel doc mentions under context that
preemption must be disabled if SG_MITER_ATOMIC is set.

There is no active requirement for the caller to have preemption
disabled before invoking sg_mitter_stop().  The sg_mitter_*()
implementation itself has no such requirement.

In fact, preemption is disabled by kmap_atomic() as part of
sg_miter_next() and remains disabled as long as there is an active
SG_MITER_ATOMIC mapping.  This is a consequence of kmap_atomic() and not
a requirement for sg_mitter_*() itself.

The user chooses SG_MITER_ATOMIC because it uses the API in a context
where blocking is not possible or blocking is possible but he chooses a
lower weight mapping which is not available on all CPUs and so it might
need less overhead to setup at a price that now preemption will be
disabled.

The kmap_atomic() implementation on PREEMPT_RT does not disable
preemption.  It simply disables CPU migration to ensure that the task
remains on the same CPU while the caller remains preemptible.  This in
turn triggers the warning in sg_miter_stop() because preemption is
allowed.

The PREEMPT_RT and !PREEMPT_RT implementation of kmap_atomic() disable
pagefaults as a requirement.  It is sufficient to check for this instead
of disabled preemption.

Check for disabled pagefault handler in the SG_MITER_ATOMIC case.
Remove the "preemption disabled" part from the kernel doc as the
sg_milter*() implementation does not care.

<title>scatterlist: replace flush_kernel_dcache_page with flush_dcache_page</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0e84f5dbf8d6c33d685c45300da55bafd5dd786e</id>
<content type='text'>
Pages used in scatterlist can be mapped page cache pages (and often are),
so we must use flush_dcache_page here instead of the more limited
flush_kernel_dcache_page that is intended for highmem pages only.

Also remove the PageSlab check given that page_mapping_file as used by the
flush_dcache_page implementations already contains that check.

<title>lib/scatterlist: Fix wrong update of orig_nents</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3e302dbc6774a27edaea39a1d5107f0c12e35cf2</id>
<content type='text'>
orig_nents should represent the number of entries with pages,
but __sg_alloc_table_from_pages sets orig_nents as the number of
total entries in the table. This is wrong when the API is used for
dynamic allocation where not all the table entries are mapped with
pages. It wasn't observed until now, since RDMA umem who uses this
API in the dynamic form doesn't use orig_nents implicit or explicit
by the scatterlist APIs.

Fix it by changing the append API to track the SG append table
state and have an API to free the append table according to the
total number of entries in the table.
Now all APIs set orig_nents as number of enries with pages.

<content type='text'>
RDMA is the only in-kernel user that uses __sg_alloc_table_from_pages to
append pages dynamically. In the next patch. That mode will be extended
and that function will get more parameters. So separate it into a unique
function to make such change more clear.

Return 0 instead of false if the copy is skipped.
