block: blk-merge: fast-clone bio when splitting rw bios
biovecs has become immutable since v3.13, so it isn't necessary to allocate biovecs for the new cloned bios, then we can save one extra biovecs allocation/copy, and the allocation is often not fixed-length and a bit more expensive. For example, if the 'max_sectors_kb' of null blk's queue is set as 16(32 sectors) via sysfs just for making more splits, this patch can increase throught about ~70% in the sequential read test over null_blk(direct io, bs: 1M). Cc: Christoph Hellwig <[email protected]> Cc: Kent Overstreet <[email protected]> Cc: Ming Lin <[email protected]> Cc: Dongsu Park <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <[email protected]> This fixes a performance regression introduced by commit 54efd50, and allows us to take full advantage of the fact that we have immutable bio_vecs. Hand applied, as it rejected violently with commit 5014c31. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <[email protected]>
