okay so bestie, welcome to ubi_sgl_init(9) β€” yes, that’s the page title β€” straight outta the Kernel API Manual πŸ’… this one is short, but it still matters, so let’s get into it 🫢

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

Please note, fr fr: you still have to use sg_init_table or any adequate function to initialize the underlying struct scatterlist. this function is not gonna do that part for you, bestie 😭

so like… yes, initialize the UBI scatter-gather struct. no, do not skip initializing the underlying struct scatterlist with sg_init_table or any adequate function. both things, okay? πŸ’…
