The caller of xlog_write() usually has a close accounting of the aggregated vector length contained in the log vector chain passed to xlog_write(). There is no need to iterate the chain to calculate he length of the data in xlog_write_calculate_len() if the caller is already iterating that chain to build it. Passing in the vector length avoids doing an extra chain iteration, which can be a significant amount of work given that large CIL commits can have hundreds of thousands of vectors attached to the chain.

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.
