It's equivalent / replacement -- not an additional copy. This was changed to support scatter/gather IO API methods which the latest version of QEMU now directly utilizes (eliminating the need for a bounce-buffer copy on every IO). Once we get that librados issue resolved, that initial librbd IO buffer copy will be dropped and librbd will become zero-copy for IO (at least that's the goal). That's why I am recommending that you just assume normal AIO semantics and not try to optimize for Luminous since perhaps the next release will have that implementation detail of the extra copy removed. -- Jason _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
