From f5aa9159a418726d74b67c8815ffd2739afb4c7a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sagi Grimberg Date: Mon, 29 Feb 2016 19:07:32 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] IB/core: Add arbitrary sg_list support Devices that are capable in registering SG lists with gaps can now expose it in the core to ULPs using a new device capability IB_DEVICE_SG_GAPS_REG (in a new field device_cap_flags_ex in the device attributes as we ran out of bits), and a new mr_type IB_MR_TYPE_SG_GAPS_REG which allocates a memory region which is capable of handling SG lists with gaps.
