Instead of a globally-contended MR free list, cache MRs in each rpcrdma_req as they are released. This means acquiring and releasing an MR will be lock-free in the common case, even outside the transport send lock. The original idea of per-rpcrdma_req MR free lists was suggested by Shirley Ma <shirley.ma@oracle.com> several years ago. I just now figured out how to make that idea work with on-demand MR allocation. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker <Anna.Schumaker@Netapp.com>
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.
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.
