+ * 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.

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.
