aoe: for performance support larger packet payloads

tAdd adds the ability to work with large packets composed of a number of segments, using the scatter gather feature of the block layer (biovecs) and the network layer (skb frag array). The motivation is the performance gained by using a packet data payload greater than a page size and by using the network card's scatter gather feature. Users of the out-of-tree aoe driver already had these changes, but since early 2011, they have complained of increased memory utilization and higher CPU utilization during heavy writes.[1] The commit below appears related, as it disables scatter gather on non-IP protocols inside the harmonize_features function, even when the NIC supports sg. commit f01a523 Author: Jesse Gross <[email protected]> Date: Sun Jan 9 06:23:31 2011 +0000 net offloading: Generalize netif_get_vlan_features(). With that regression in place, transmits always linearize sg AoE packets, but in-kernel users did not have this patch. Before 2.6.38, though, these changes were working to allow sg to increase performance. 1. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg15184.html Signed-off-by: Ed Cashin <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
