From: Nicholas Bellinger <[email protected]> Hi folks.
Here is an initial series for adding target descriptor pre-allocation support based upon Kent's excellent per-cpu struct tag_pool library code. It allows fabric drivers to avoid fast path memory allocation/free overhead up to the number of registered struct tag_pool tags known at se_session creation time, similar to how blk-mq currently works using hw tag resource pre-allocation of struct request and friends. Thus far vhost/scsi has been updated to use se_sess->sess_tag_pool, and patches doing similar fabric driver pre-allocation conversions are currently a WIP.. Also given lib/tags is not upstream just yet, Kent's patch is included here for review context.
