Remove the implementation of ib_umem_add_sg_table and instead call to __sg_alloc_table_from_pages which already has the logic to merge contiguous pages. Besides that it removes duplicated functionality, it reduces the memory consumption of the SG table significantly. Prior to this patch, the SG table was allocated in advance regardless consideration of contiguous pages. In huge pages system of 2MB page size, without this change, the SG table would contain x512 SG entries. E.g. for 100GB memory registration: Number of entries Size Before 26214400 600.0MB After 51200 1.2MB Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201004154340.1080481-5-leon@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Maor Gottlieb <maorg@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@nvidia.com> |

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.
