Allocating an rpcrdma_req's regbufs at xprt create time enables a pair of micro-optimizations: First, if these regbufs are always there, we can eliminate two conditional branches from the hot xprt_rdma_allocate path. Second, by allocating a 1KB buffer, it places a lower bound on the size of these buffers, without adding yet another conditional branch. The lower bound reduces the number of hardway re- allocations. In fact, for some workloads it completely eliminates hardway allocations. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker <Anna.Schumaker@Netapp.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
