Hi,
I don't take the point, if it is not import use the vmalloc. Why you try
with a kmalloc
alloc first? and why do not use kzalloc?
Because kmalloc() is faster than vmalloc() causing a huge performance win
when someone allocates a large number of queue pairs. We fall back to
vmalloc() only if kmalloc() can't deliver the memory chunk.
Sorry I catch later the performace issue.
We don't need kzalloc because we fill the list right after the alloc.
