From ecc3bc982596cb66bd7f951e2f36503f4841c0c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Wilcox <matthew.r.wilcox@intel.com> Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2014 16:40:35 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] fusion: Add free msg frames to the head, not tail of list Reusing a msg frame quickly means it's still cache-hot. This yields a small but noticable performance improvement in a well-known database benchmark. This improvement is already present in the mpt3sas driver.
