[ Upstream commit 78efb76ab4 ]
While the .device_prep_slave_sg() callback rejects empty scatterlists,
it still accepts single-entry scatterlists with a zero-length segment.
These may happen if a driver calls dmaengine_prep_slave_single() with a
zero len parameter. The corresponding DMA request will never complete,
leading to messages like:
rcar-dmac e7300000.dma-controller: Channel Address Error happen
and DMA timeouts.
Although requesting a zero-length DMA request is a driver bug, rejecting
it early eases debugging. Note that the .device_prep_dma_memcpy()
callback already rejects requests to copy zero bytes.

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.
