This adds SGL support for NVMe PCIe driver, based on an earlier patch from Rajiv Shanmugam Madeswaran <smrajiv15 at gmail.com>. This patch refactors the original code and adds new module parameter sgl_threshold to determine whether to use SGL or PRP for IOs. The usage of SGLs is controlled by the sgl_threshold module parameter, which allows to conditionally use SGLs if average request segment size (avg_seg_size) is greater than sgl_threshold. In the original patch, the decision of using SGLs was dependent only on the IO size, with the new approach we consider not only IO size but also the number of physical segments present in the IO. We calculate avg_seg_size based on request payload bytes and number of physical segments present in the request. For e.g.:- 1. blk_rq_nr_phys_segments = 2 blk_rq_payload_bytes = 8k avg_seg_size = 4K use sgl if avg_seg_size >= sgl_threshold. 2. blk_rq_nr_phys_segments = 2 blk_rq_payload_bytes = 64k avg_seg_size = 32K use sgl if avg_seg_size >= sgl_threshold. 3. blk_rq_nr_phys_segments = 16 blk_rq_payload_bytes = 64k avg_seg_size = 4K use sgl if avg_seg_size >= sgl_threshold.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
