Today, nvme-tcp automatically schedules a send request to a workqueue context, which is 1 more than we'd need in case the socket buffer is wide open. However, because we have async send activity (as a result of r2t, or write_space callbacks), we need to synchronize sends from possibly multiple contexts (ideally all running on the same cpu though). Thus, we only try to send directly from queue_rq in cases: 1. the send_list is empty 2. we can send it synchronously (i.e. not from the RX path) 3. we run on the same cpu as the queue->io_cpu to avoid contention on the send operation.

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.
