Hi all,
here is an update to the ALUA device handler. The main
features are:
- Topology discovery: the device handler creates a separate
port_group structure, which is used to update all paths to
the same port group. With that we achieve a significant
reduction of the number of RTPGs.
- Asynchronous state update: The ALUA state is now updated
from a workqueue item, so all concurrent RTPG calls are
coaleasced. The ALUA state update is also triggered by
sense codes indicating an ALUA state change.
- Use the existing vpd page 0x83 to detect device IDs
The patchset is relative to the V3 version of the scsi_dh update.
The entire tree can be found at
kernel/hare/scsi-devel branch alua.v3
on git.kernel.org
As usual, reviews and comments are welcome.
Changes to v1:
- Split off rtpg workqueue into separate items
- User per-port workqueues
- Incorporate review from Bart
- Incorporate review from hch
