If you've actually been reading at all what I've been saying in this thread you'll see that I've described a method to do this copy avoidance in a completely stateless manner. You don't need to implement a TCP stack in the card in order to do data placement optimizations. They can be done completely stateless. Also, large portions of the cpu overhead are transactional costs, which are significantly reduced by existing technologies such as LRO. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
