[PATCH 7/8] vhost-scsi: Allocate iov_iter used for unaligned copies when needed

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

 



It's extremely rare that we get unaligned requests that need to drop
down to the data copy code path. However, the iov_iter is almost 5% of
the mem used for the vhost_scsi_cmd. This patch has us allocate the
iov_iter only when needed since it's not a perf path that uses the
struct. This along with the patches that removed the duplicated fields on
the vhost_scsd_cmd allow us to reduce mem use by 1 MB in mid size setups
where we have 16 virtqueues and are doing 1024 cmds per queue.
