[ Upstream commit 75106523f39751390b5789b36ee1d213b3af1945 ]
The commit 08024885a2a3 ("ses: Add power_status to SES device slot")
introduced the 'power_status' attribute to enclosure components and
the associated callbacks.
There are 2 callbacks available to get the power status of a device:
1) ses_get_power_status() for 'struct enclosure_component_callbacks'
2) get_component_power_status() for the sysfs device attribute
(these are available for kernel-space and user-space, respectively.)
However, despite both methods being available to get power status
on demand, that commit also introduced a call to get power status
in ses_enclosure_data_process().
This dramatically increased the total probe time for SCSI devices
on larger configurations, because ses_enclosure_data_process() is
called several times during the SCSI devices probe and loops over
the component devices (but that is another problem, another patch).
That results in a tremendous continuous hammering of SCSI Receive
Diagnostics commands to the enclosure-services device, which does
delay the total probe time for the SCSI devices __significantly__:
Originally, ~34 minutes on a system attached to ~170 disks:
[ 9214.490703] mpt3sas version 13.100.00.00 loaded
...
[11256.580231] scsi 17:0:177:0: qdepth(16), tagged(1), simple(0),
ordered(0), scsi_level(6), cmd_que(1)
With this patch, it decreased to ~2.5 minutes -- a 13.6x faster
[ 1002.992533] mpt3sas version 13.100.00.00 loaded
...
[ 1151.978831] scsi 11:0:177:0: qdepth(16), tagged(1), simple(0),
ordered(0), scsi_level(6), cmd_que(1)
Back to the commit discussion.. on the ses_get_power_status() call
introduced in ses_enclosure_data_process(): impact of removing it.
That may possibly be in place to initialize the power status value
on device probe. However, those 2 functions available to retrieve
that value _do_ automatically refresh/update it. So the potential
benefit would be a direct access of the 'power_status' field which
does not use the callbacks...
But the only reader of 'struct enclosure_component::power_status'
is the get_component_power_status() callback for sysfs attribute,
and it _does_ check for and call the .get_power_status callback,
(which indeed is defined and implemented by that commit), so the
power status value is, again, automatically updated.
So, the remaining potential for a direct/non-callback access to
the power_status attribute would be out-of-tree modules -- well,
for those, if they are for whatever reason interested in values
that are set during device probe and not up-to-date by the time
they need it.. well, that would be curious.
Well, to handle that more properly, set the initial power state
value to '-1' (i.e., uninitialized) instead of '1' (power 'on'),
and check for it in that callback which may do an direct access
to the field value _if_ a callback function is not defined.
