From: Tim Smith Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2018 10:01:09 +0000 Subject: xen_disk: Avoid repeated memory allocation xen_disk currently allocates memory to hold the data for each ioreq as that ioreq is used, and frees it afterwards. Because it requires page-aligned blocks, this interacts poorly with non-page-aligned allocations and balloons the heap. Instead, allocate the maximum possible requirement, which is BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST pages (currently 11 pages) when the ioreq is created, and keep that allocation until it is destroyed. Since the ioreqs themselves are re-used via a free list, this should actually improve memory usage.
