Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] xen-blk(back|front): Let users disable persistent grants
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2020 16:15:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200922141549.26154-1-sjpark@amazon.com> (raw)
From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@amazon.de>
Persistent grants feature provides high scalability. On some small
systems, however, it could incur data copy overheads[1] and thus it is
required to be disabled. But, there is no option to disable it. For
the reason, this commit adds module parameters for disabling of the
feature.
