Hi,
Currently, any fuse request always includes inline pages[] array of
FUSE_MAX_PAGES_PER_REQ elements. This is the waste of memory because
in many cases smaller size would suffice.
The patch-set tries to allocate only as many elements of pages[] array as
actaully needed. This will be even more useful in the future because of:
1. Mitsuo's patches making maximum read/write request size tunable.
2. My patches optimizing scatter-gather direct IO. To make them simplier I'll
need to substitute array of 'struct page *' with array of 'struct bio_vec'.
It would make memory overhead worse if implemented w/o this patch-set.
Thanks,
Maxim
