    scsi: esp: use sg helper to iterate over scatterlist · ee5a1dbf
    Ming Lei authored
    Unlike the legacy I/O path, scsi-mq preallocates a large array to hold
    the scatterlist for each request. This static allocation can consume
    substantial amounts of memory on modern controllers which support a
    large number of concurrently outstanding requests.
    
    To facilitate a switch to a smaller static allocation combined with a
    dynamic allocation for requests that need it, we need to make sure all
    SCSI drivers handle chained scatterlists correctly.
    
    Convert remaining drivers that directly dereference the scatterlist
    array to using the iterator functions.
