[RFC 5/5] virtiofs: perform DMA operations out of the spinlock

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

 



This is useful for some setups like swiotlb or VDUSE where the DMA
operations are expensive and/or need to be performed with a write lock.

After applying this patch, fio read test goes from 1201MiB/s to 1211MiB/s.
