scsi: ufs: core: Increase the usable queue depth
[ Upstream commit d0b2b70eb12e9ffaf95e11b16b230a4e015a536c ]
With the current implementation of the UFS driver active_queues is 1
instead of 0 if all UFS request queues are idle. That causes
hctx_may_queue() to divide the queue depth by 2 when queueing a request and
hence reduces the usable queue depth.
The shared tag set code in the block layer keeps track of the number of
active request queues. blk_mq_tag_busy() is called before a request is
queued onto a hwq and blk_mq_tag_idle() is called some time after the hwq
became idle. blk_mq_tag_idle() is called from inside blk_mq_timeout_work().
Hence, blk_mq_tag_idle() is only called if a timer is associated with each
request that is submitted to a request queue that shares a tag set with
another request queue.
Adds a blk_mq_start_request() call in ufshcd_exec_dev_cmd(). This doubles
the queue depth on my test setup from 16 to 32.
In addition to increasing the usable queue depth, also fix the
documentation of the 'timeout' parameter in the header above
ufshcd_exec_dev_cmd().
