[PATCH v2 2/4] block: use bio_clone_fast() in blk_rq_prep_clone()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Junichi Nomura <j-nomura@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Request cloning clones bios in the request to track the completion
of each bio.
For that purpose, we can use bio_clone_fast() instead of bio_clone()
to avoid unnecessary allocation and copy of bvecs.

This patch reduces memory footprint of request-based device-mapper
(about 1-4KB for each request) and is a preparation for further
reduction of memory usage by removing unused bvec mempool.
