Eliminates need for a separate mempool to allocate 'struct dm_io' objects from. As such, it saves an extra mempool allocation for each original bio that DM core is issued. This complicates the per-bio-data accessor functions by needing to conditonally add extra padding to get to a target's per-bio-data. But in the end this provides a decent performance improvement for all bio-based DM devices. On an NVMe-loop based testbed to a ramdisk (~3100 MB/s): bio-based DM linear performance improved by 2% (went from 2665 to 2777 MB/s). Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
