This allows drivers to utilize the optimization of merging contiguous pages without a need to pre allocate all the pages and hold them in a very large temporary buffer prior to the call to SG table initialization. The second patch changes the Infiniband driver to use the new API. It removes duplicate functionality from the code and benefits the optimization of allocating dynamic SG table from pages. In huge pages system of 2MB page size, without this change, the SG table would contain x512 SG entries. E.g. for 100GB memory registration: Number of entries Size Before 26214400 600.0MB After 51200 1.2MB Thanks Maor Gottlieb (2): lib/scatterlist: Add support in dynamic allocation of SG table from pages RDMA/umem: Move to allocate SG table from pages Tvrtko Ursulin (2): tools/testing/scatterlist: Rejuvenate bit-rotten test tools/testing/scatterlist: Show errors in human readable form drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_userptr.c | 12 +- drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_ttm_buffer.c | 15 +- drivers/infiniband/core/umem.c | 92 ++--------- include/linux/scatterlist.h | 43 +++--- lib/scatterlist.c | 160 +++++++++++++++----- lib/sg_pool.c | 3 +- tools/testing/scatterlist/Makefile | 3 +- tools/testing/scatterlist/linux/mm.h | 35 +++++ tools/testing/scatterlist/main.c | 53 +++++-- 9 files changed, 248 insertions(+), 168 deletions(-) -- 2.26.2 _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
