From Maor Gottlieb says: ==================== This series extends __sg_alloc_table_from_pages to allow chaining of new pages to an already initialized SG table. This allows for drivers to utilize the optimization of merging contiguous pages without a need to pre allocate all the pages and hold them in a very large temporary buffer prior to the call to SG table initialization. The last patch changes the Infiniband core to use the new API. It removes duplicate functionality from the code and benefits from the optimization of allocating dynamic SG table from pages. In huge pages system of 2MB page size, without this change, the SG table would contain x512 SG entries. ==================== * branch 'dynamic_sg': RDMA/umem: Move to allocate SG table from pages lib/scatterlist: Add support in dynamic allocation of SG table from pages tools/testing/scatterlist: Show errors in human readable form tools/testing/scatterlist: Rejuvenate bit-rotten test |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
