Bart Van Assche 8c7a8d1c4b lib/scatterlist: Fix chaining support in sgl_alloc_order()
This patch avoids that workloads with large block sizes (megabytes)
can trigger the following call stack with the ib_srpt driver (that
driver is the only driver that chains scatterlists allocated by
sgl_alloc_order()):

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
