Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] scsi: target:
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2020 23:15:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200326221505.5303-1-ddiss@suse.de> (raw)

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: 5.30845G/s
after:  5.99056G/s (approx. +12.8%)

Changes since v1:
- drop RFC
- rework 3/5 and 5/5 following Christoph's feedback

Feedback appreciated.

Cheers, David
