Then we would just need one more helper to construct scatterlist, as the above two are read-only don't allow to modify scatterlist:
#define for_each_sgtable_sg(sgt, sg, i) \ for_each_sg(sgt->sgl, sg, sgt->orig_nents, i)
With the above 3 helpers we can probably get rid of all instances of sg_table->{nents,orig_nents} from the DRM code. I will prepare patches soon.
Sounds great, thanks!
It turned out that the 4th helper (for_each_sgtable_dma_sg) was needed as some drivers makes use of the larger than the PAGE_SIZE unit for DMA mapped pages.
Best regards
