    lib/scatterlist: Fix chaining support in sgl_alloc_order() · 8c7a8d1c
    Bart Van Assche authored
    This patch avoids that workloads with large block sizes (megabytes)
    can trigger the following call stack with the ib_srpt driver (that
    driver is the only driver that chains scatterlists allocated by
    sgl_alloc_order()):
