<title>[SCSI] lpfc 8.1.1 : Add polled-mode support</title>
<updated>2005-12-14T01:34:14Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=875fbdfe9b1b4c8f12622a8d8d81428ff0984875'/>
<id>urn:sha1:875fbdfe9b1b4c8f12622a8d8d81428ff0984875</id>
<content type='text'>
- Add functionality to run in polled mode only. Includes run time
  attribute to enable mode.
- Enable runtime writable hba settings for coallescing and delay parameters

Customers have requested a mode in the driver to run strictly polled.
This is generally to support an environment where the server is extremely
loaded and is looking to reclaim some cpu cycles from adapter interrupt
handling.

This patch adds a new "poll" attribute, and the following behavior:

if value is 0 (default):
  The driver uses the normal method for i/o completion. It uses the
  firmware feature of interrupt coalesing. The firmware allows a
  minimum number of i/o completions before an interrupt, or a maximum
  time delay between interrupts.  By default, the driver sets these
  to no delay (disabled) or 1 i/o - meaning coalescing is disabled.

  Attributes were provided to change the coalescing values, but it was
  a module-load time only and global across all adapters.
  This patch allows them to be writable on a per-adapter basis.

if value is 1 :
  Interrupts are left enabled, expecting that the user has tuned the
  interrupt coalescing values. When this setting is enabled, the driver
  will attempt to service completed i/o whenever new i/o is submitted
  to the adapter. If the coalescing values are large, and the i/o
  generation rate steady, an interrupt will be avoided by servicing
  completed i/o prior to the coalescing thresholds kicking in. However,
  if the i/o completion load is high enough or i/o generation slow, the
  coalescion values will ensure that completed i/o is serviced in a timely
  fashion.

if value is 3 :
  Turns off FCP i/o interrupts altogether. The coalescing values now have
  no effect. A new attribute "poll_tmo" (default 10ms) exists to set
  the polling interval for i/o completion. When this setting is enabled,
  the driver will attempt to service completed i/o and restart the
  interval timer whenever new i/o is submitted. This behavior allows for
  servicing of completed i/o sooner than the interval timer, but ensures
  that if no i/o is being issued, then the interval timer will kick in
  to service the outstanding i/o.

- Release task management command before counting outstanding commands.
  TMF was being erroneously counted as an active outstanding command.
- Serialize EH calls and block requests when EH function is running.

- Remove unnecessary scsi_block_requests calls on rport deletes.
  This was deadlocking the sdev removals as they wanted to flush commands.
- No longer block requests when adding the remote port (to block
  discovery). Instead, register, then change port role. Maps to Qlogic
  behavior, and closer to the register-node-upon-first-ELS behavior.
