This is why in my last RFC series for vmw_pvscsi I let the device choose whether to force a bounce buffer or get an external iovec from the HBA.
Yes, sure, for non-I/O commands it's perfectly okay. Most of which will be emulated anyway. It's bounce buffers for I/O which kills performance.But I seem to have missed your last RFC (I'm not reading qemu-devel on a regular basis ...).
Care to send me a pointer to it? Cheers, Hannes -- Dr. Hannes Reinecke zSeries & Storage address@hidden +49 911 74053 688 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg GF: J. Hawn, J. Guild, F. Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg)
