If that argument and also dev->io_cb would be removed, would that make the hot path faster? > +int rnbd_dev_submit_io(struct rnbd_dev *dev, sector_t sector, void *data, > + size_t len, u32 bi_size, enum rnbd_io_flags flags, > + short prio, void *priv) > +{ > + struct request_queue *q = bdev_get_queue(dev->bdev); > + struct rnbd_dev_blk_io *io; > + struct bio *bio; > + > + /* check if the buffer is suitable for bdev */ > + if (WARN_ON(!blk_rq_aligned(q, (unsigned long)data, len))) > + return -EINVAL; The blk_rq_aligned() check looks weird to me. bio_map_kern() can handle data buffers that do not match the DMA alignment requirements, so why to refuse data buffers that are not satisfy DMA alignment requirements? > + /* Generate bio with pages pointing to the rdma buffer */ > + bio = bio_map_kern(q, data, len, GFP_KERNEL); > + if (IS_ERR(bio)) > + return PTR_ERR(bio); > + > + io = kmalloc(sizeof(*io), GFP_KERNEL); > + if (unlikely(!io)) { > + bio_put(bio); > + return -ENOMEM; > + } > + > + io->dev = dev; > + io->priv = priv; > + > + bio->bi_end_io = rnbd_dev_bi_end_io; > + bio->bi_private = io; > + bio->bi_opf = rnbd_to_bio_flags(flags); > + bio->bi_iter.bi_sector = sector; > + bio->bi_iter.bi_size = bi_size; > + bio_set_prio(bio, prio); > + bio_set_dev(bio, dev->bdev); I think Jason strongly prefers to have a single space at the left of the assignment operator.
