Hi Miklos,
So far as no objections appeared, I'll go ahead and replace fuse
req->page with req->pagevec. It will point to an array of structs:
struct page_vec {
struct page *pv_page;
unsigned int pv_len;
unsigned int pv_offset;
};
instead of 'struct page *' as it used to be. It seems to be what you
suggested in one of your comments. Are you OK about it?
Thanks,
Maxim

Hi,
Currently, any fuse request always includes inline pages[] array of
FUSE_MAX_PAGES_PER_REQ elements. This is the waste of memory because
in many cases smaller size would suffice.
The patch-set tries to allocate only as many elements of pages[] array as
actaully needed. This will be even more useful in the future because of:
1. Mitsuo's patches making maximum read/write request size tunable.
2. My patches optimizing scatter-gather direct IO. To make them simplier I'll
need to substitute array of 'struct page *' with array of 'struct bio_vec'.
It would make memory overhead worse if implemented w/o this patch-set.
Thanks,
Maxim
