[PATCH v3 0/5] scsi: target: XCOPY performance

[PATCH v3 0/5] scsi: target: XCOPY performance

[David Disseldorp]

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 v2:
- 5/5: incorporate Christoph's clean up suggestions

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

Feedback appreciated.

Cheers, David

[PATCH v3 2/5] scsi: target: drop xcopy DISK BLOCK LENGTH debug

[David Disseldorp]

The DISK BLOCK LENGTH field is carried with XCOPY target descriptors on
the wire, but is currently unmarshalled during 0x02 segment descriptor
passing. The unmarshalled value is currently unused, so drop it.

[PATCH v3 4/5] scsi: target: increase XCOPY I/O size

[David Disseldorp]

The I/O size is already bound by dev_attrib.hw_max_sectors, so increase
the hardcoded XCOPY_MAX_SECTORS maximum to improve performance against
backstores with high-latency.
