Subject: [RFC PATCH 12/15] svcrdma: Add per-recv_ctxt chunk context cache
Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2026 11:32:19 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260210163222.2356793-13-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260210163222.2356793-1-cel@kernel.org>

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

Parsed chunk list (PCL) processing currently allocates a new
svc_rdma_chunk structure via kmalloc for each chunk in every
incoming RPC. These allocations add overhead to the receive path.

Introduce a per-recv_ctxt single-entry cache. Over 99% of RPC Calls
that specify RPC/RDMA chunks provide only a single chunk, so a
single cached chunk handles the common case. Chunks with up to
SVC_RDMA_CHUNK_SEGMAX (4) segments are eligible for caching; larger
chunks fall back to dynamic allocation.

Using per-recv_ctxt caching instead of a per-transport pool avoids
the need for locking or atomic operations, since a recv_ctxt is
used by only one thread at a time.
