>From Maor:
This series extends __sg_alloc_table_from_pages to allow chaining of
new pages to already initialized SG table.
This allows for the drivers to utilize the optimization of merging contiguous
pages without a need to pre allocate all the pages and hold them in
a very large temporary buffer prior to the call to SG table initialization.
The second patch changes the Infiniband driver to use the new API. It
removes duplicate functionality from the code and benefits the
optimization of allocating dynamic SG table from pages.
In huge pages system of 2MB page size, without this change, the SG table
would contain x512 SG entries.
E.g. for 100GB memory registration:
Number of entries Size
Before 26214400 600.0MB
After 51200 1.2MB
Thanks
