Used bounce buffer when processing block operation

Usage

void trace_block_bio_bounce(struct request_queue * q, struct bio * bio);

Arguments

q

queue holding the block operation

Overview

A bounce buffer was used to handle the block operation bio in q. This occurs when hardware limitations prevent a direct transfer of data between the bio data memory area and the IO device. Use of a bounce buffer requires extra copying of data and decreases performance.
