Np on this.  Btw, the drivers/target/lio-target code was not included in
the last RFC posting,  but I will be getting to this soon.  ;-)

Yep, this point is understand wrt to sg_chaining=1 no longer being an
option.

Also in complete agreement here wrt to new modules having to support
proper chaining.

Hmmm.  It appears that lib/scatterlist.c:__sg_alloc_table() would in
fact me a nice fit for the transport_calc_sg_num() allocation (see
below).  I will have a look at how much would be involved to convert the
current code to use these helpers.

So, note the actual allocation of the contigious struct
se_task->task_sg[] that are being chained together in
transport_do_task_sg_chain() is done in transport_calc_sg_num() here:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/nab/lio-core-2.6.git;a=blob;f=drivers/target/target_core_transport.c;hb=refs/heads/lio-4.0#l6810

which includes the proper use of sg_init_table(), and a call to
sg_mark_end() with SGL padding for the TFO->task_sg_chainging=1 case
with this patch.

Thanks for your comments Boaz!
