Seems sensible to me. Do you have a git tree? It didn't apply cleanly to 5.14 when I tried, but I didn't stop to figure out why. > The next step would be to look at how to make the best use of the > aligned rq_vec. Have you done any performance comparison just with this? Doesn't seem like it should make a significant difference, but it might be interesting to check anyway. --b. > My naive thought is that where there is a PAGE_SIZE > entry in rq_vec and there is no page in the file's page cache at > that offset, the transport-provided page can be flipped into place. > Might work for replacing whole pages as well, but baby steps first. > > This series has been exercised a bit with both TCP and RDMA, but no > guarantees that it is completely bug-free.
