The 'struct nvme_iod' space is appended at the end of the preallocated 'struct request', and padded to the cache line size. This leaves some free memory (in most kernel configs) up for grabs. Instead of appending the nvme data descriptor addresses after the scatterlist, inline these for free within struct nvme_iod. There is now enough space in the mempool for 128 possibe segments. And without increasing the size of the preallocated requests, we can hold up to 5 PRP descriptor elements, allowing the driver to increase its max transfer size to 8MB.

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.
