Chuck Lever bb93a1ae2b xprtrdma: Allocate req's regbufs at xprt create time
Allocating an rpcrdma_req's regbufs at xprt create time enables
a pair of micro-optimizations:

First, if these regbufs are always there, we can eliminate two
conditional branches from the hot xprt_rdma_allocate path.

Second, by allocating a 1KB buffer, it places a lower bound on the
size of these buffers, without adding yet another conditional
branch. The lower bound reduces the number of hardway re-
allocations. In fact, for some workloads it completely eliminates
hardway allocations.

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.
