scsi: mpt3sas: Register trace buffer based on NVDATA settings
Currently if user wishes to enable the host trace buffer during driver load time, then user has to load the driver with module parameter 'diag_buffer_enable' set to one. Alternatively now the user can enable host trace buffer by enabling the following fields in manufacturing page11 in NVDATA (nvdata xml is used while building HBA firmware image): * HostTraceBufferMaxSizeKB - Maximum trace buffer size in KB that host can allocate, * HostTraceBufferMinSizeKB - Minimum trace buffer size in KB atleast host should allocate, * HostTraceBufferDecrementSizeKB - size by which host can reduce from buffer size and retry the buffer allocation when buffer allocation failed with previous calculated buffer size. The driver will register the trace buffer automatically without any module parameter during boot time when above fields are enabled in manufacturing page11 in HBA firmware. Driver follows the following algorithm for enabling the host trace buffer during driver load time: * If user has loaded the driver with module parameter 'diag_buffer_enable' set to one, then driver allocates 2MB buffer and registers this buffer with HBA firmware for capturing the firmware trace logs. * Else driver reads manufacture page11 data and checks whether HostTraceBufferMaxSizeKB filed is zero or not? - If HostTraceBufferMaxSizeKB is non-zero then driver tries to allocate HostTraceBufferMaxSizeKB size of memory. If the buffer allocation is successful, then it will register this buffer with HBA firmware, else in a loop the driver will try again by reducing the current buffer size with HostTraceBufferDecrementSizeKB size until memory allocation is successful or buffer size falls below HostTraceBufferMinSizeKB. If the memory allocation is successful, then the buffer will be registered with the firmware. Else, if the buffer size falls below the HostTraceBufferMinSizeKB, then driver won't register trace buffer with HBA firmware. - If HostTraceBufferMaxSizeKB is zero, then driver won't register trace buffer with HBA firmware.
