Chuck Lever 99722fe4d5 svcrdma: Persistently allocate and DMA-map Send buffers
While sending each RPC Reply, svc_rdma_sendto allocates and DMA-
maps a separate buffer where the RPC/RDMA transport header is
constructed. The buffer is unmapped and released in the Send
completion handler. This is significant per-RPC overhead,
especially for small RPCs.

Instead, allocate and DMA-map a buffer, and cache it in each
svc_rdma_send_ctxt. This buffer and its mapping can be re-used
for each RPC, saving the cost of memory allocation and DMA
mapping.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

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.
