Subject: [PATCH] Remove redundant writes to uncached sqe memory
Date: Fri, 9 May 2014 13:44:47 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <536D3E3F.9050902@micron.com> (raw)

The memset to clear the SQE in nvme_submit_iod() is made partially 
redundant by subsequent writes.  This patch explicitly clears each 
SQE structure member in ascending order, eliminating the need for 
the memset.  With this change, our perf runs show ~1.5% less time
spent in the IO submission path and minor reduced q lock contention.
