From 13816c768d46586e925b22736992258d6105ad2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:37:09 +1030 Subject: virtio_ring: virtqueue_add_sgs, to add multiple sgs. virtio_scsi can really use this, to avoid the current hack of copying the whole sg array. Some other things get slightly neater, too. This causes a slowdown in virtqueue_add_buf(), which is implemented as a wrapper. This is addressed in the next patches. for i in `seq 50`; do /usr/bin/time -f 'Wall time:%e' ./vringh_test --indirect --eventidx --parallel --fast-vringh; done 2>&1 | stats --trim-outliers: Before: Using CPUS 0 and 3 Guest: notified 0, pinged 39009-39063(39062) Host: notified 39009-39063(39062), pinged 0 Wall time:1.700000-1.950000(1.723542) After: Using CPUS 0 and 3 Guest: notified 0, pinged 39062-39063(39063) Host: notified 39062-39063(39063), pinged 0 Wall time:1.760000-2.220000(1.789167) Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Reviewed-by: Wanlong Gao Reviewed-by: Asias He --- include/linux/virtio.h | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/linux/virtio.h') diff --git a/include/linux/virtio.h b/include/linux/virtio.h index 5d5b3abc283d..ac80288b2920 100644 --- a/include/linux/virtio.h +++ b/include/linux/virtio.h @@ -41,6 +41,13 @@ int virtqueue_add_buf(struct virtqueue *vq, void *data, gfp_t gfp); +int virtqueue_add_sgs(struct virtqueue *vq, + struct scatterlist *sgs[], + unsigned int out_sgs, + unsigned int in_sgs, + void *data, + gfp_t gfp); + void virtqueue_kick(struct virtqueue *vq); bool virtqueue_kick_prepare(struct virtqueue *vq); -- cgit v1.2.3-59-g8ed1b
