Currently every osd request submitted by the rbd code undergoes a file mapping operation, which is common with what the ceph file system uses. But some analysis shows that there is no need to do this for rbd, because it already takes care of its own blocking of image data into distinct objects. Removing this simplifies things. I especially think removing this improves things conceptually, removing a complex mapping operation from the I/O path. -Alex [PATCH REPOST 1/3] rbd: pull in ceph_calc_raw_layout() [PATCH REPOST 2/3] rbd: open code rbd_calc_raw_layout() [PATCH REPOST 3/3] rbd: don't bother calculating file mapping -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
