[PATCH v4 0/8] Adding blk-mq and DMA support to pmem block driver

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

 



v4: 
- Addressed kbuild test bot issues. Passed kbuild test bot, 179 configs.

v3:
- Added patch to rename DMA_SG to DMA_SG_SG to make it explicit
- Added DMA_MEMCPY_SG transaction type to dmaengine
- Misc patch to add verification of DMA_MEMSET_SG that was missing
- Addressed all nd_pmem driver comments from Ross.

v2:
- Make dma_prep_memcpy_* into one function per Dan.
- Addressed various comments from Ross with code formatting and etc.
- Replaced open code with offset_in_page() macro per Johannes.

The following series implements adds blk-mq support to the pmem block driver
and also adds infrastructure code to ioatdma and dmaengine in order to
support copying to and from scatterlist in order to process block
requests provided by blk-mq. The usage of DMA engines available on certain
platforms allow us to drastically reduce CPU utilization and at the same time
maintain performance that is good enough. Experimentations have been done on
DRAM backed pmem block device that showed the utilization of DMA engine is
beneficial. User can revert back to original behavior by providing
queue_mode=0 to the nd_pmem kernel module if desired.
