Have you measured how much smaller a full built kernel ends up being
with this patch?

You weren't seriously suggesting merging such a large patch post -rc3,
were you? I assume you were requesting this be queued up for the next
merge window, right?

I compared it which some modules. It is not extremely significant, only
some bytes. But if you use real in place then you would get better
results. I will send some values. Stay tuned ;-)

Right, not for 2.6.33. I asked for 2.6.34.

I'm glad to see this example, it really illustrates how to use the new
DMA functionality of the kfifo API.

Is there any reason why a very large scatterlist could not be used? I
have a driver that uses a large scatterlist (~4000 entries, allocated as
a struct sg_table). I implemented my own copy_from_user() functionality
into this scatterlist, but I'd love to use the kfifo DMA API instead.
After filling the scatterlist, I use the usual DMA API's to transfer it
to my device.

No, but the API will only return max. two entries.

I think you can use vmalloc() instead and assign this buffer with
kfifo_init().

No, its by definition an array. You cannot pass as struct sg_table to
the kfifo_dma_* functions.
