scsi_debug: change store from vmalloc to sgl
A long time ago this driver's store was allocated by kmalloc() or alloc_pages(). When this was switched to vmalloc() the author noticed slower ramdisk access times and more variability in repeated tests. So try going back with sgl_alloc_order() to get uniformly sized allocations in a sometimes large scatter gather _array_. That array is the basis of keeping O(1) access to the store. Using sgl_alloc_order() and friends requires CONFIG_SGL_ALLOC so add a 'select' to the Kconfig file. Remove kcalloc() in resp_verify() as sgl_s can now be compared directly without forming an intermediate buffer. This is a performance win for the SCSI VERIFY command implementation. Make the SCSI COMPARE AND WRITE command yield the offset of the first miscompared byte when the compare fails (as required by T10). This patch depends on: "[PATCH v4 0/4] scatterlist: add new capabilities". Signed-off-by: Douglas Gilbert <dgilbert@interlog.com>
