[RFC PATCH 00/18] iscsi lock/xmit/recv cleanups

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

 



The following patches made over Linus's current tree cleanup the
locking in libiscsi so we again, for the main IO path, have the frwd
lock only used in the xmit/queue path and the back lock used in the
completion path and no taskqueuelock. The EH paths still use both
the frwd/back lock though.

These patches are still not ready for merging. I have now tested
iscsi_tcp, ib_iser, and be2iscsi. Manish tested qedi but it failed.
However, this version should work for qedi and bnx2i. I had forgot to
convert one of the mgmt task paths those drivers use.

V2:
- Fix issue where we used the back lock to make sure all recv
completion paths saw the window reopened flag.
- Fix ping_task path, so it accounts for send/completion race Lee
had fixed.
- Fix bug hit with qedi and bnx2i during testing where I forgot to
allow this drivers to preallocate mgmt task resources.
- Tested ib_iser and be2iscsi.
