Re: [RFC/RFT PATCH] scsi: pm8001: Expose HW queues for pm80xx hw

Hi Viswas,


We could test this patch and it works fine.

Good to know.

Regarding the usage of request->tag, We have some challenges there. Pm80xx driver need tag for internal command as well.

Tag is controller wide and we need to assign unique tag for internal command as well.

This is not a problem unique to pm8001.

If we use request->tag, how can we get tag for internal commands ?

This same problem is currently solved for hisi_sas driver by reserving a small amount of tags for internal commands, which are managed by the driver.

For example, we support 4096 hostwide tags for hisi_sas. However we tell scsi midlayer that we support 4000 (in scsi_host.can_queue), and then use the other 96 for internal commands.

See scsi/hisi_sas/hisi_sas_main.c::hisi_sas_slot_index_alloc() and hisi_sas_slot_index_free() for how we maintain these tags.

Having said that, there was a series to allow the block layer manage these internal commands, but it is not merged yet:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/20200703130122.111448-1-hare@xxxxxxx/

Having this would mean that the driver no longer needs to manage these tags internally.

Thanks,
John

If driver allocate that, how can we make sure it will not conflict with the request->tag ?

Regards,
Viswas G

Hi John,

AFAIK, there is no such restrictions. Any queue can be used for
internal/external commands.


ok, understood.

BTW, to see even more performance improvement, it would be good to use
request->tag for ccb tag, rather that the LLDD manage this itself. I
mentioned this perviously elsewhere. Do you plan to make that change?
hisi_sas and megaraid sas are examples of drivers who do this.

Thanks,
John

You may need similar for other dispatch paths also - like smp - but I
don't think that you will.

BTW, do you know if there is actually a limitation on the HW that
queue
#0 is used for all "internal" IO (mpi), like phy control operation? Jack?

Subject: [RFC/RFT PATCH] scsi: pm8001: Expose HW queues for pm80xx
hw

EXTERNAL EMAIL: Do not click links or open attachments unless you
know the content is safe

In commit 05c6c029a44d ("scsi: pm80xx: Increase number of supported
queues"), support for 80xx chip was improved by enabling multiple
HW queues.

In this, like other SCSI MQ HBA drivers, the HW queues were not
exposed to upper layer, and instead the driver managed the queues
internally.

However, this management duplicates blk-mq code. In addition, the
HW queue management is sub-optimal for a system where the number
of
CPUs
exceeds the HW queues - this is because queues are selected in a
round- robin fashion, when it would be better to make adjacent CPUs
submit on the same queue. And finally, the affinity of the
completion queue interrupts is not set to mirror the cpu<->HQ queue
mapping, which
is suboptimal.

As such, for when MSIX is supported, expose HW queues to upper
layer.
Flag PCI_IRQ_AFFINITY is set for allocating the MSIX vectors to
automatically assign affinity for the completion queue interrupts.

I sent as an RFC/RFT as I have no HW to test. In addition, since HW
queue
#0 is used always for internal commands (like in
send_task_abort()), if all CPUs associated with HW queue #0 are
offlined, the interrupt for that queue will be shutdown, and no
CPUs would be available to service any internal commands
completion. To solve that, we need [0] merged first and switch over
to use the new API. But we can still test
performance in the meantime.

I assume someone else is making the change to use the request tag
for IO tag management.
