Subject: [RFC 2/3] block: use LARGE_ZERO_PAGE in __blkdev_issue_zero_pages()
Date: Fri, 16 May 2025 12:10:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250516101054.676046-3-p.raghav@samsung.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250516101054.676046-1-p.raghav@samsung.com>
Use LARGE_ZERO_PAGE in __blkdev_issue_zero_pages() instead of ZERO_PAGE.
On systems that support LARGE_ZERO_PAGE, we will end up sending larger
bvecs instead of multiple small ones.
Noticed a 4% increase in performance on a commercial NVMe SSD which does
not support OP_WRITE_ZEROES. The performance gains might be bigger if
the device supports larger MDTS.
