Subject: fusion: Add free msg frames to the head, not tail of list
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ecc3bc982596cb66bd7f951e2f36503f4841c0c8;p=linux-beck.git

fusion: Add free msg frames to the head, not tail of list

Reusing a msg frame quickly means it's still cache-hot.  This yields
a small but noticable performance improvement in a well-known database
benchmark.  This improvement is already present in the mpt3sas driver.
