Normally we do an extra roundtrip for retries even if the buffer pool has depleted, as we don't check that upfront. Rather than add this check, have the buffer selection methods mark the request with REQ_F_BL_EMPTY if the used buffer group is out of buffers after this selection. This is very cheap to do once we're all the way inside there anyway, and it gives the caller a chance to make better decisions on how to proceed. For example, recv/recvmsg multishot could check this flag when it decides whether to keep receiving or not. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
