Why do you care about scatter gather at all? You need to allocate a kernel buffer to copy the user bits into _anyways_. Once you have a kernel buffer, doing a quick onstack one-entry scatter list is simple.
If you're trying to use the user buffer directly, sorry we're not going to add support for that, as Linus explained it's silly. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
