      [SCSI] lpfc: NPIV: add NPIV support on top of SLI-3 · 92d7f7b0
      James Smart 提交于
      NPIV support is added to the driver.  It utilizes the interfaces of
      the fc transport for the creation and deletion of vports. Within the
      driver, a new Scsi_Host is created for each NPIV instance, and is
      paired with a new instance of a FC port.  This allows N FC Port
      elements to share a single Adapter.

      [SCSI] lpfc: NPIV: add SLI-3 interface · ed957684
      James Smart 提交于
      NPIV support is only available via new adapter interface extensions,
      termed SLI-3. This interface changes some of the basic behaviors such
      as command and response ring element sizes and data structures, as
      well as a change in buffer posting.  Note: the new firmware extensions
      are found only on our mid-range and enterprise 4Gig adapters - so NPIV
      support is available only on these newer adapters. The latest firmware
      can be downloaded from the Emulex support page.

      [SCSI] lpfc: NPIV: split ports · 2e0fef85
      James Smart 提交于
      The driver is reorganized to separate the handling of the adapter from
      the handling of the FC port. Adapter handling includes submissions of
      command requests, receiving responses, and managing adapter resources.
      The FC port includes the discovery engine, login handling, and the
      mapping of a Scsi_Host on the "port".  Although not a large functional
      change, as it touches core structures and functions, resulting in a
      large text delta.

      IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers · 7d12e780
      David Howells 提交于
      Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
      of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
      Linux kernel.
      
      The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
      space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
      from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
      (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
      
      Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
      something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
      maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
      handling.
      
      Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
      through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
      device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
      interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
      device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
      layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
      
      I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
      main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
      I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
      with minimal configurations.
      
      This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
      Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
      
      	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
      
      And put the old one back at the end:
      
      	set_irq_regs(old_regs);
      
      Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
      
      In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
      
      	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
      	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
      	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
      	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
      
      I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
      except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
      
      Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
      
       (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
           the input_dev struct.
      
       (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
           something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
           pointer or not.
      
       (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
           irq_handler_t.

      [SCSI] lpfc 8.1.1 : Add polled-mode support · 875fbdfe
      James.Smart@Emulex.Com 提交于
      - 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.
