Hi,
Following patch adds the SGL support in the NVMe driver.
We observed approximately 5% performance improvement in the
IOPs, bandwidth, and latency as block size gets larger ( >= 32k).
In the current implementation, we add "sgl_threshold" module parameter to decide
whether to use SGL or PRP for IO requests, we set the default value for sgl_threshold to 32k.
This value is exported and configurable via sysfs.
Regards,
