From c42bca92be928ce7dece5fc04cf68d0e37ee6718 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Begunkov Date: Sat, 9 Jan 2021 16:03:03 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] bio: don't copy bvec for direct IO The block layer spends quite a while in blkdev_direct_IO() to copy and initialise bio's bvec. However, if we've already got a bvec in the input iterator it might be reused in some cases, i.e. when new ITER_BVEC_FLAG_FIXED flag is set. Simple tests show considerable performance boost, and it also reduces memory footprint.
