In nvmet_passthru_execute_cmd() which is a high frequency function it uses bio_alloc() which leads to memory allocation from the fs pool for each I/O. For NVMeoF nvmet_req we already have inline_bvec allocated as a part of request allocation that can be used with preallocated bio when we already know the size of request before bio allocation with bio_alloc(), which we already do. Introduce a bio member for the nvmet_req passthru anon union. In the fast path, check if we can get away with inline bvec and bio from nvmet_req with bio_init() call before actually allocating from the bio_alloc(). This will be useful to avoid any new memory allocation under high memory pressure situation and get rid of any extra work of allocation (bio_alloc()) vs initialization (bio_init()) when transfer len is < NVMET_MAX_INLINE_DATA_LEN that user can configure at compile time.

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.
