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.

Commit 2db76d7c ("lib/scatterlist: sg_page_iter: support sg lists w/o backing pages") introduced the sg_page_iter_dma_address() function without providing a way to use it in the general case. If the sg_dma_len() is not equal to the sg length callers cannot safely use the for_each_sg_page/sg_page_iter_dma_address combination. Resolve this API mistake by providing a DMA specific iterator, for_each_sg_dma_page(), that uses the right length so sg_page_iter_dma_address() works as expected with all sglists. A new iterator type is introduced to provide compile-time safety against wrongly mixing accessors and iterators.
