From 00bd1439f464cfac3c60f6eabfe209b8a52e8194 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yamin Friedman Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2019 16:59:32 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] RDMA/rw: Support threshold for registration vs scattering to local pages If there are more scatter entries than the recommended limit provided by the ib device, UMR registration is used. This will provide optimal performance when performing large RDMA READs over devices that advertise the threshold capability.
