Re: [PATCH] nvme: Acknowledge completion queue on each iteration

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

 



Code is moving the completion queue doorbell after processing all completed
events and sending callbacks to the block layer on each iteration.

This is causing a performance drop when a lot of jobs are queued towards
the HW. Move the completion queue doorbell on each loop instead and allow new
jobs to be queued by the HW.

Agree with Keith that this is definitely not the way to go, it
adds mmio operations in the hot path with very little gain (if
at all).
