Without previous optimization patches, the mq conversion can't obtain so much improvement, that is why I put them together. Also mq conversion depends on linux-aio fix too. Also it becomes a difficult to test these patches if they are splitted, and describing the dependency is a bit annoying too. > That will also make the performance discussions easier to follow since > each patch series should include performance results, making it easy to > understand how much improvement each change brings. The number can be found inside patches, for example, patch 02 has the number for using obj pool, and patch 09 has the number for bypassing coroutine, and patch 17 has the number for mq conversion. Thanks,
