[PATCH v3 0/11] IB/srp: Add multichannel support

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

 



Although the SRP protocol supports multichannel operation, although since considerable time RDMA HCA's are available that support multiple completion vectors and although multichannel operation yields better performance than using a single channel, the Linux SRP initiator does not yet support multichannel operation. Hence this patch series that adds multichannel support to the SRP initiator driver.

Changes between v2 and v3:
* Eliminated the new function blk_mq_build_unique_tag() from patch 1.
* Elaborated the nr_hw_queues documentation in patch 2 as requested by
  Martin.
* Merged patches v2/10 and v2/11 into a single patch (v3/9).
* Removed a debug statement from the patch that adds multichannel
  support, and added another new debug statement
  (WARN_ON_ONCE(scmnd->request->tag < 0) in srp_queuecommand()).
* Added a new patch (v3/11) that fixes a recently reported race
  condition. Although that patch is unrelated to adding multichannel
  support, that patch has been added to this series to avoid merge
  conflicts by submitting patches for the same driver to different
  maintainers.

Changes between v1 and v2:
* Added a function to the block layer that allows SCSI LLDs to query
  the blk-mq hardware context index chosen by the block layer. Removed
  the mq_queuecommand callback again.
* Added support for multiple hardware queues in the TCQ functions in
  the SCSI core.
* Split a few patches and elaborated the patch descriptions to make it
  easier to review this patch series.
* Added two new patches: one patch that makes the SRP initiator always
  use block layer tags and another patch that realizes a micro-
  optimization, namely elimination of the free requests list.
