delete this last line and adjust parens - really odd that it replicates the assignment 2 lines earlier.

I would prefer that if the table is expended and no slots free, that -ENOMEM is returned here. Rather than falling down below and qualifying by slot free, then by pending (set only if slot free). I can't believe there is a reason the idle timer has to be started if no slots free as all the other fail cases don't bother with it.

This also helps indentation levels below.

And that's the bit which I don't particular like.

Essentially we'll have to inject additional ELS commands _on each I/O_ to get a valid VMID. Where there are _so_ many things which might get wrong, causing an I/O stall.

I don't follow you - yes ELS's are injected when there isn't an entry for the VM, but once there is, there isn't further ELS's. That is the cost. as we don't know what uuid's I/O will be sent to before hand, so it has to be siphoned off during the I/O flow. I/O's can be sent non-tagged while the ELS's are completing (and there aren't multiple sets of ELS's as long as it's the same uuid), which is fine.

so I disagree with "_on each I/O_".

I would have vastly preferred if we could _avoid_ having to do additional ELS commands for VMID registration in the I/O path (ie only allow for I/O with a valid VMID), and reject the I/O otherwise until VMID registration is complete.

IE return 'BUSY' (or even a command retry?) when no valid VMID for this particular I/O is found, register the VMID (preferably in another thread), and restart the queue once the VMID is registered.

Why does it bother you with the I/O path ? It's actually happening in parallel with no real relation between the two.

I seriously disagree with reject if no vmid tag. Why? what do you gain ? This actually introduces more disruption than the parallel flow with the ELSs. Also, after link bounce, where all VMID's have to be done, it adds a stall window after link up right when things are trying to resume after rports rejoin. Why add the i/o rebouncing ? There no real benefit. Issuing a few untagged I/O doesn't hurt.


That way we have a clear separation, and the I/O path will always work with valid VMIDs.

Hmm?

Cheers,

Hannes
