It is: | chunk_pool = mempool_create_page_pool(sess_queue_depth * CHUNK_POOL_SZ, | get_order(max_chunk_size)); with | static int __read_mostly max_chunk_size = DEFAULT_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE; | static int __read_mostly sess_queue_depth = DEFAULT_SESS_QUEUE_DEPTH; | #define CHUNK_POOL_SZ 10 so isn't it (512 * 10) * 128KiB? > Thanks!
