Now that we have bulk page allocation and release APIs, it's more efficient to use those than it is for nfsd threads to wait for send completions. Previous patches have eliminated the calls to wait_for_completion() and complete(), in order to avoid scheduler overhead. Now release pages-under-I/O in the send completion handler using the efficient bulk release API. I've measured a 7% reduction in cumulative CPU utilization in svc_rdma_sendto(), svc_rdma_wc_send(), and svc_xprt_release(). In particular, using release_pages() instead of complete() cuts the time per svc_rdma_wc_send() call by two-thirds. This helps improve scalability because svc_rdma_wc_send() is single-threaded per connection.

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.
