With the addition of __sg_alloc_table_from_pages we can control the maximum coalescing size and eliminate a separate path for allocating backing store here. Similar to871dfbd67d("drm/i915: Allow compaction upto SWIOTLB max segment size") this enables more compact sg lists to be created and so has a beneficial effect on workloads with many and/or large objects of this class. v2: * Rename helper to i915_sg_segment_size and fix swiotlb override. * Commit message update. v3: * Actually include the swiotlb override fix. v4: * Regroup parameters a bit. (Chris Wilson) v5: * Rebase for swiotlb_max_segment. * Add DMA map failure handling as inabb0deacb5("drm/i915: Fallback to single PAGE_SIZE segments for DMA remapping"). v6: Handle swiotlb_max_segment() returning 1. (Joonas Lahtinen) v7: Rebase. v8: Commit spelling fix.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
