![]() nvme_fc_create_io_queues() preallocates a big buffer for the IO SGL based on SG_CHUNK_SIZE. Modern DMA engines are often capable of dealing with very big segments so the SG_CHUNK_SIZE is often too big. SG_CHUNK_SIZE results in a static 4KB SGL allocation per command. If a controller has lots of deep queues, preallocation for the sg list can consume substantial amounts of memory. For nvme-fc, nr_hw_queues can be 128 and each queue's depth 128. This means the resulting preallocation for the data SGL is 128*128*4K = 64MB per controller. Switch to runtime allocation for SGL for lists longer than 2 entries. This is the approach used by NVMe PCI so it should be reasonable for NVMeOF as well. Runtime SGL allocation has always been the case for the legacy I/O path so this is nothing new.

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.
