Rather than have architectures #define ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN in an architecture
specific scatterlist.h, make it a proper Kconfig option and use that
instead. At same time, remove the header files are are now mostly
useless and just include asm-generic/scatterlist.h.

Well, the transformation looks fine.  Perhaps part of the reason for the
lack of response is that there's no compelling reason in the change log
above for doing this.  The usual reason for eliminating ARCH_HAS is that
it's hiding something that would be better expressed a different way
(that's actually intuitive to grep) or that it's expressing something
that should be configurable.  Neither of these reasons apply in this
case, because SG_CHAIN definitely is a property of the architecture not
the config space and it's not really hiding anything.

Perhaps now might be the time to ask which are the remaining
architectures that cannot do SG chaining and then we can fix them and
pull the whole thing out.

Getting rid of pointless copied code is definitely a good enough
reason and the patch removes quite some of that.

Not quite.  You're making the assumption that we can be sure that all
the scatterlist users on an architecture have been converted - that's
simply not true on ARM.  We have some which have, and some which still
have not been audited.

The cases that get us here would be old platform DMA code which walks
scatterlists handed to it from drivers - stuff like
arch/arm/mach-rpc/dma.c (which probably can cope), and drivers/scsi/arm/*
(which definitely can't because of their SCSI pointers save/restore
handling message.)  I know that's one case where SG_CHAIN definitely
isn't supported on ARM.

So, we had decided not to enable it, but this means that new stuff
isn't benefitting from this.  I've recently asked arm-soc to enable
it for the modern multi-platform builds, because modern stuff really
be written with correct SG chaining in mind.

No I'm not, I said "now might be the time to ask which are the remaining
architectures that cannot do SG chaining" I think it's time to list them
so we know what work remains.  I know we've got a bunch in parisc (all
of our iommu code in driver/parisc - about 5 different ones - are
unconverted).  However, the conversion is pretty simple; it's mostly
replacing sglist++ with sglist=sg_next(sglist)

OK, so lets see what the actual effort is.

And I'm disagreeing with that statement which implies that it's something
that is an architecture wide property for any particular architecture.

Right now in mainline, if ARM has IOMMU support enabled, then SG_CHAIN
support will also be enabled.  I've a patch out of tree which I've been
using for years which enables SG_CHAIN for a particular SoC (Dove).
Otherwise, it doesn't have support for SG_CHAIN.

PARISC on the other hand (as you list) has no support to enable SG_CHAIN
under any circumstances.

Where we're disagreeing is whether this is something that is always-on or
always-off for any particular architecture.

Actually, I don't disagree with that.  PA used to share sb_iommu with
ia64 (it's the same chipset for the HP versions), but we can't now
because ia64 is chained and we're not and there's no way to say chained
for this platform but not for these other more legacy ones.  If you have
a proposal for this, I'd be interested, so I don't have to do an all or
nothing conversion, but the config option isn't it because our platform
configuration is runtime determined (we usually select every driver and
let the actual one be chosen at runtime from the config table).

ARM vs ARCH.  However the arm variant of the variable should probably be
consolidated into the ARCH one as a follow up.

FWIW, it would have been nice to keep the list of selected configs sorted.
However no need to resend.

At runtime, it's obviously a lot harder to resolve.  However, that's not
what we're trying to do with this patch.

The main issue is that Laura is trying to add SG chain support to ARM64.
At the moment, ARM64 uses the asm-generic version of scatterlist.h
directly.

Her first spin of the patch involved creating
arch/arm64/include/asm/scatterlist.h, which was nothing more than an
include of the asm-generic header file of the same name, and the
definition of ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN.  That seemed to be extremely wasteful
and sub-optimal way to handle this.

Moving this symbol into the Kconfig means that ARM64 no longer has to
have this additional file (and probably a bunch of other architectures
fall into that same camp) and the ARM specific CONFIG_ARM_HAS_SG_CHAIN
can be eliminated in favour of the now generic cross-arch config symbol.

We have plenty of other Kconfig symbols which control similar features
throughout the kernel source, there is no reason that this one should
not be the same.
