Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] scatterlist: add sgl_copy_sgl() function

Both the SCSI and NVMe subsystems receive user data from the block
layer in scatterlist_s (aka scatter gather lists (sgl) which are
often arrays). If drivers in those subsystems represent storage
(e.g. a ramdisk) or cache "hot" user data then they may also
choose to use scatterlist_s. Currently there are no sgl to sgl
operations in the kernel. Start with a copy.

+ * sgl_copy_sgl - Copy over a destination sgl from a source sgl
+ * @d_sgl:		 Destination sgl
+ * @d_nents:		 Number of SG entries in destination sgl
+ * @d_skip:		 Number of bytes to skip in destination before starting
+ * @s_sgl:		 Source sgl
+ * @s_nents:		 Number of SG entries in source sgl
+ * @s_skip:		 Number of bytes to skip in source before starting
+ * @n_bytes:		 The (maximum) number of bytes to copy
+ *
+ * Returns the number of copied bytes.
+ *
+ * Notes:
+ *   Destination arguments appear before the source arguments, as with memcpy().
+ *
+ *   Stops copying if either d_sgl, s_sgl or n_bytes is exhausted.
+ *
+ *   Since memcpy() is used, overlapping copies (where d_sgl and s_sgl belong
+ *   to the same sgl and the copy regions overlap) are not supported.
+ *
+ *   Large copies are broken into copy segments whose sizes may vary. Those
+ *   copy segment sizes are chosen by the min3() statement in the code below.
+ *   Since SG_MITER_ATOMIC is used for both sides, each copy segment is started
+ *   with kmap_atomic() [in sg_miter_next()] and completed with kunmap_atomic()
+ *   [in sg_miter_stop()]. This means pre-emption is inhibited for relatively
+ *   short periods even in very large copies.
+ *
+ *   If d_skip is large, potentially spanning multiple d_nents then some
+ *   integer arithmetic to adjust d_sgl may improve performance. For example
+ *   if d_sgl is built using sgl_alloc_order(chainable=false) then the sgl
+ *   will be an array with equally sized segments facilitating that
+ *   arithmetic. The suggestion applies to s_skip, s_sgl and s_nents as well.
