Subject: [PATCH] lib: scatterlist: Fix to support no mapped sg

In function sg_split, the second sg_calculate_split will return -EINVAL
when in_mapped_nents is 0.

Indeed there is no need to do second sg_calculate_split and sg_split_mapped
when in_mapped_nents is 0, as in_mapped_nents indicates no mapped entry in
original sgl.

That's right. May I know what is the usecase which led you to this fix ?

I posted a patchset to support HiSilicon compression engine:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/23/358. As Herber Xu suggested, it should use
new crypto acomp API which uses sgl as data input and output. However, our
hardware can not handle compress head for input/output data, so I need split
input/output sgl firstly which is not mapped sgl.

New version of HiSilicon compression engine driver has not been posted to
community yet. I will do this later.
