[PATCH v5 0/3] Accelerate Storage Resume (2x or more)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It is not everyday that a kernel operation gets 2x faster.  Nice find
by Todd and his AnalyzeSuspend tool [1].

Todd is on vacation so I am taking care of these patches to make sure
they get in the queue for 3.15.

The significant changes from Todd's last submission [2]:

1/ Split out the pure cleanup into its own patch, and expand it to clean
   up libsas as well

2/ Move the entirety of scsi_device resume to an async context.  As
   written, v4 of the patchset overlapped the scsi-start-stop command
   with the scsi_device_resume().  Now in v5 the queue restart is
   properly ordered with the completion of the scsi-start-stop command.

Resume completion time as reported by:

"echo devices > /sys/power/pm_test && echo mem > /sys/power/state"

BEFORE: PM: resume of devices complete after 2271.097 msecs
AFTER:  PM: resume of devices complete after 1057.404 msecs

On a system with two SSDs attached via AHCI.
