Hi Bean,

That's a very interesting presentation. Unfortunately the overhead for
SCSI in that presentation includes the SCSI core + UFS driver. Given the
use of the host lock in the version of the UFS driver that was used to
prepare that presentation, the overhead introduced by the UFS driver may
be significant. Maybe someone should measure the overhead of the
scsi_debug driver and compare it with the NVMe loopback driver to get a
better idea of how the overhead of these two subsystems compare to each
other?

Bart.
