From aac8a70db24bd3916b9ddce1761e500771356b6b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: SeongJae Park Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2020 08:18:39 +0200 Subject: xen-blkback: add a parameter for disabling of persistent grants MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Persistent grants feature provides high scalability. On some small systems, however, it could incur data copy overheads[1] and thus it is required to be disabled. But, there is no option to disable it. For the reason, this commit adds a module parameter for disabling of the feature.

On some small systems, however, it could incur data copy overheads[1] and thus it is required to be disabled. It can be disabled from blkback side using a module parameter, 'feature_persistent'. But, it is impossible from blkfront side. For the reason, this commit adds a blkfront module parameter for disabling of the feature.
