This is because the kernel must normally convert the scatter gather buffers you pass into extended scatter gather buffers as the memory you see as contiguous may not, and probably isn't, actually be contiguous in physical memory. Regions returned by this allocator <em>may</em> be allocated contiguously in physical memory and therefore the kernel can pass through your scatter gather buffers unmodified. </p> -<p>A particularly useful combination with this allocator is with the page_sizes() member function of <b>llfio_dispatcher</b>.
