Subject: lib/scatterlist: add sg_init_marker() helper
X-Git-Tag: for-linus-20180413~64^2~19^2~1^2~1
X-Git-Url: https://git.kernel.dk/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f385178679b6561d2e717567d12e07c7f927ee59;p=linux-block.git

lib/scatterlist: add sg_init_marker() helper

sg_init_marker initializes sg_magic in the sg table and calls
sg_mark_end() on the last entry of the table. This can be useful to
avoid memset in sg_init_table() when scatterlist is already zeroed out

For example: when scatterlist is embedded inside other struct and that
container struct is zeroed out
