Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 1/3] vhost-scsi: Reduce mem use by moving upages to per queue
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 14:46:31 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113194602.2463861-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109200826-failed-6.12-01c3a5fa6d64@kernel.org>

From: Mike Christie <michael.christie@oracle.com>

[ Upstream commit 4c1f3a7d74277903b290dd989cbd2ea8627fc925 ]

Each worker thread can process 1 command at a time so there's no need to
allocate a upages array per cmd. This patch moves it to per queue. Even a
small device with 128 cmds and 1 queue this brings mem use for the array
from

2 MB = 8 bytes per page pointer * 2048 pointers * 128 cmds

to

16K = 8 bytes per pointer * 2048 * 1 queue
