[RFC PATCH 0/5] scsi: target: XCOPY performance

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

 



These changes remove unnecessary heap allocations in the XCOPY
READ/WRITE dispatch loop.

Synthetic benchmarks on my laptop using the libiscsi iscsi-dd utility
(--xcopy --max 1 --blocks 65535 src=dst) against a target backed by an 8G
zram (DEBUG_KMEMLEAK=y) iblock backstore (avg across four runs) show:
before: 5.35776G/s
after:  6.12636G/s (approx. +14%)

Feedback appreciated.

Cheers, David
