Subject: [PATCH v4 2/4] scatterlist: add sgl_copy_sgl() function
Date:   Thu,  5 Nov 2020 19:53:31 -0500

Both the SCSI and NVMe subsystems receive user data from the block
layer in scatterlist_s (aka scatter gather lists (sgl) which are
often arrays). If drivers in those subsystems represent storage
(e.g. a ramdisk) or cache "hot" user data then they may also
choose to use scatterlist_s. Currently there are no sgl to sgl
operations in the kernel. Start with a sgl to sgl copy. Stops
when the first of the number of requested bytes to copy, or the
source sgl, or the destination sgl is exhausted. So the
destination sgl will _not_ grow.

+ * sgl_copy_sgl - Copy over a destination sgl from a source sgl
+ * @d_sgl:		 Destination sgl
+ * @d_nents:		 Number of SG entries in destination sgl
+ * @d_skip:		 Number of bytes to skip in destination before starting
+ * @s_sgl:		 Source sgl
+ * @s_nents:		 Number of SG entries in source sgl
+ * @s_skip:		 Number of bytes to skip in source before starting
+ * @n_bytes:		 The (maximum) number of bytes to copy
+ *
+ * Returns:
+ *   The number of copied bytes.
+ *
+ * Notes:
+ *   Destination arguments appear before the source arguments, as with memcpy().
+ *
+ *   Stops copying if either d_sgl, s_sgl or n_bytes is exhausted.
+ *
+ *   Since memcpy() is used, overlapping copies (where d_sgl and s_sgl belong
+ *   to the same sgl and the copy regions overlap) are not supported.
+ *
+ *   Large copies are broken into copy segments whose sizes may vary. Those
+ *   copy segment sizes are chosen by the min3() statement in the code below.
+ *   Since SG_MITER_ATOMIC is used for both sides, each copy segment is started
+ *   with kmap_atomic() [in sg_miter_next()] and completed with kunmap_atomic()
+ *   [in sg_miter_stop()]. This means pre-emption is inhibited for relatively
+ *   short periods even in very large copies.
+ *
+ *   If d_skip is large, potentially spanning multiple d_nents then some
+ *   integer arithmetic to adjust d_sgl may improve performance. For example
+ *   if d_sgl is built using sgl_alloc_order(chainable=false) then the sgl
+ *   will be an array with equally sized segments facilitating that
+ *   arithmetic. The suggestion applies to s_skip, s_sgl and s_nents as well.
