This reverts the value to older ones, however that patch might not be
needed anymore (I was carrying it from Dave but if we don't map the
registers into userspace we shouldn't need to force align them).

So that's debatable :-)

The above code is map_sg. Arguably my patch *fixes* using it with card
large pages :-)

IE, Look at the "usual" case (PAGE_SHIFT=12). Today, the above means
sglen will be in units of small pages. But everything else in that loop
operates in units of whatever is represented by the pte, which can
either be 4k or larger. 

So adding "sglen" to "pte" was never right for shift != 12 before
(regardless of PAGE_SHIFT).

With my patch, it's more correct, so as such, adding a WARN_ON here
wouldn't be "if I do this" :-)

Now, the "big" case still cannot really work here with PAGE_SHIFT=12,
because that would require the sg segments to be multiple of
"shift" (the card large page) and that is not going to be the case.

So funnily enough, we *could* use card large pages of 64k ("big") if ...
we had PAGE_SHIFT=16 ... which we do on ppc64 :-) But not anywhere else.

But yes, the point remains, in the general case, that function cannot
work for the "big" case, so I wonder if we should catch it with a
WARN_ON and maybe simplify the code a bunch while at it...

So the above is the existing one which I kept mostly intact ... but
cannot work for shift != 12 either for the same reasons so here too, if
we could simplify that ...

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean exactly ... The code *today* tries to
handle things at the low level (vmm->map_sg) and that cannot work the
way it's done. I'm removing that. Or rather, that cannot work unless we
can guarantee that there will be no crossing of PTE page boundary (no
crossing of pde) by the PAGE_SIZE page, which I think we cannot (see my
discussion in my email asking if we could enforce that somewhat).

Additionally the current code is broken in that the upper layer in
vm/base.c doesn't increment "pte" by the right amount.

Now, if those two assertions can be made always true:

 - Those two functions (map_sg and map_sg_table) never deal with the
"big" case.

 - An object is always mapped at a card address that is a multiple
of PAGE_SIZE (ie, invividual PAGE_SIZE pages don't cross pde boundaries
when mapped)

Then we can probably simplify the code significantly *and* go back to
handling PAGE_SIZE pages in the vmm->map_sg() instead of breaking them
up a level above like I do. 

> I don't like the duplicate definition, and the extra for loop in map_sg will be compiled out when page_size == 12.

Sort-of. Right now, my code prevents calling vmm->map_sg with more than
"1" as len which reduces perf in the PAGE_SHIFT=12 case, which is why I
did the duplication.

However this is just an illustration. I'm fully aware that this is not
good as-is, I'm just poking to see what you guys think is the best
approach to *properly* fix it.

I don't think I care at this stage but heh ...

I don't think we want to go there right now, there is little benefit for
the vast majority of platforms (x86 and ARM). Let's stick to making
ppc64 "work" and not bother too much with things that will never be used
in practice :-)

I'd rather make the code simpler by removing the "big" case from those
functions if it's never going to be used.

Cheers,
Ben.
