From 11dfce509eaa35e8fc81cb50d0910c0e235fd7e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junichi Nomura Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2014 17:27:11 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] block: use bio_clone_fast() in blk_rq_prep_clone() Request cloning clones bios in the request to track the completion of each bio. For that purpose, we can use bio_clone_fast() instead of bio_clone() to avoid unnecessary allocation and copy of bvecs. This patch reduces memory footprint of request-based device-mapper (about 1-4KB for each request) and is a preparation for further reduction of memory usage by removing unused bvec mempool.
