[PATCH v2 6/8] scsi: target: Allow userspace to request direct submissions

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

 



This allows userspace to request the fabric drivers do direct submissions
if they support it. With the new device file, submit_type, users can
write 0 - 2 to control how commands are submitted to the backend:

0 - TARGET_FABRIC_DEFAULT_SUBMIT - LIO will use the fabric's default
submission type. This is the default for compat.
1 - TARGET_DIRECT_SUBMIT - LIO will submit the cmd to the backend from
the calling context if the fabric the cmd was received on supports it,
else it will use the fabric's default type.
2 - TARGET_QUEUE_SUBMIT - LIO will queue the cmd to the LIO submission
workqueue which will pass it to the backend.

When using a nvme drive and vhost-scsi with direct submission we see
around a 20% improvement in 4K IOs:

fio jobs        1       2       4       8       10
--------------------------------------------------
defer           94K     190K    394K    770K    890K
direct          128K    252K    488K    950K    -

And when using the queueing mode, we now no longer see issues like where
the iSCSI tx thread is blocked in the block layer waiting on a tag so it
can't respond to a nop or perform IOs for other LUs.
