[RFC PATCH 0/7] target: fix up locking in IO paths

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

 



This patchset removes se_session sess_cmd_lock for every driver but
tcm qla2xxx and moves the se_device execution lock to per CPU so
we can run submissions from multiple CPUs without hammering on
those locks.

With the patches I'm seeing a 25% improvement in IOPs for small
IO tests like:

fio  --filename=/dev/sdXYZ  --direct=1 --rw=randrw --bs=4k \
--iodepth=128  --numjobs=16

I'm sending this as RFC, because the qla2xxx patches are not
tested and I'm hoping we can maybe just remove the session
locking/list from that driver since it's only used to lookup
commands for aborts when a specific model is used.

The following patches are made over Linus's tree. Some of Martin's
branches are missing:
