Subject: iser-target: Avoid using FRMR for single dma entry requests
From: Vu Pham <vu@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit f01b9f73392b48c6cda7c2c66594c73137c776da upstream.
This patch changes isert_reg_rdma_frwr() to not use FRMR for single
dma entry requests from small I/Os, in order to avoid the associated
memory registration overhead.
Using DMA MR is sufficient here for the single dma entry requests,
and addresses a >= v3.12 performance regression.
