[PATCH v2 4/4] SUNRPC: Cache pages that were replaced during a read splice

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

 



To avoid extra trips to the page allocator, don't free unused pages
in nfsd_splice_actor(), but instead place them in a local cache.
That cache is then used first when refilling rq_pages.

On workloads that perform large NFS READs on splice-capable file
systems, this saves a considerable amount of work.
