From fa53228721876515adabc7bc74368490bd97aa3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2019 10:05:43 -0800 Subject: block: avoid blk_bio_segment_split for small I/O operations __blk_queue_split() adds significant overhead for small I/O operations. Add a shortcut to avoid it for cases where we know we never need to split. Based on a patch from Ming Lei.
