      scsi: lpfc: Fix nvmet issues when link bounce under IO load · c160c0f8
      James Smart authored 
      

Various null pointer dereference and general protection fault panics occur
when there is a link bounce under load. There are a large number of "error"
message 6413 indicating "bad release".

The issues resolve to list corruptions due to missing or inconsistent lock
protection. Lockups are due to nested locks in the unsolicited abort
path. The unsolicited abort path calls the wrong abort processing
routine. There was also duplicate context release while aborts were still
active in the hardware.

Removed duplicate locks and added lock protection around list item
removal. Commonized lock handling around the abort processing routines.
Prevent context release while still in ABTS list.

      scsi: lpfc: Correct upcalling nvmet_fc transport during io done downcall · 472e146d
      James Smart authored 
      

When the transport calls into the lpfc target to release an IO job
structure, which corresponds to an exchange, and if the driver was waiting
for an exchange in order to post a previously received command to the
transport, the driver immediately takes the IO job and reuses the context
for the prior command and calls nvmet_fc_rcv_fcp_req() to tell the
transport about a newly received command.

Problem is, the execution of the IO job release may be in the context of
the back end driver and its bio completion handlers, thus it may be in a
irq context and protection code kicks in in the bio and request layers that
are subsequently called.

Rework lpfc so that instead of immediately upcalling, queue it to a
deferred work thread and have the thread make the upcall.

Took advantage of this change to remove duplicated code with the normal
command receive path that preps the IO job and upcalls nvmet_fc. Created a
common routine both paths use.

Also corrected some errors that were found during review of the context
freeing and reuse - basically unlocked operations and a somewhat disjoint
set of calls to release associated job elements. Cleaned up this path and
added locks for coherency.

The conversion to enable SCSI and NVME fc4 support ran into an issue with

      scsi: lpfc: Rework locking on SCSI io completion · c2017260
      James Smart authored 
      

A scsi host lock is taken on every io completion to check whether the abort
handler is waiting on the io completion. This is an expensive lock to take
on all completion when rarely in an abort condition.

Replace scsi host lock with command-specific lock. Synchronize completion
and abort paths by new cmd lock. Ensure all flag changing and nulling of
context pointers taken under lock.  When adding lock to task management
abort, realized it was missing other synchronization locks. Added that
synchronization to match normal paths.

      scsi: lpfc: Rework EQ/CQ processing to address interrupt coalescing · 32517fc0
      James Smart authored 
      

When driving high iop counts, auto_imax coalescing kicks in and drives the
performance to extremely small iops levels.

There are two issues:

 1) auto_imax is enabled by default. The auto algorithm, when iops gets
    high, divides the iops by the hdwq count and uses that value to
    calculate EQ_Delay. The EQ_Delay is set uniformly on all EQs whether
    they have load or not. The EQ_delay is only manipulated every 5s (a
    long time). Thus there were large 5s swings of no interrupt delay
    followed by large/maximum delay, before repeating.

 2) When processing a CQ, the driver got mixed up on the rate of when
    to ring the doorbell to keep the chip appraised of the eqe or cqe
    consumption as well as how how long to sit in the thread and
    process queue entries. Currently, the driver capped its work at
    64 entries (very small) and exited/rearmed the CQ.  Thus, on heavy
    loads, additional overheads were taken to exit and re-enter the
    interrupt handler. Worse, if in the large/maximum coalescing
    windows,k it could be a while before getting back to servicing.

The issues are corrected by the following:

 - A change in defaults. Auto_imax is turned OFF and fcp_imax is set
   to 0. Thus all interrupts are immediate.

 - Cleanup of field names and their meanings. Existing names were
   non-intuitive or used for duplicate things.

 - Added max_proc_limit field, to control the length of time the
   handlers would service completions.

 - Reworked EQ handling:
    Added common routine that walks eq, applying notify interval and max
      processing limits. Use queue_claimed to claim ownership of the queue
      while processing. Always rearm the queue whenever the common routine
      is called.
    Rework queue element processing, namely to eliminate hba_index vs
      host_index. Only one index is necessary. The queue entry can be
      marked invalid and the host_index updated immediately after eqe
      processing.
    After rework, xx_release routines are now DB write functions. Renamed
      the routines as such.
    Moved lpfc_sli4_eq_flush(), which does similar action, to same area.
    Replaced the 2 individual loops that walk an eq with a call to the
      common routine.
    Slightly revised lpfc_sli4_hba_handle_eqe() calling syntax.
    Added per-cpu counters to detect interrupt rates and scale
      interrupt coalescing values.

 - Reworked CQ handling:
    Added common routine that walks cq, applying notify interval and max
      processing limits. Use queue_claimed to claim ownership of the queue
      while processing. Always rearm the queue whenever the common routine
      is called.
    Rework queue element processing, namely to eliminate hba_index vs
      host_index. Only one index is necessary. The queue entry can be
      marked invalid and the host_index updated immediately after cqe
      processing.
    After rework, xx_release routines are now DB write functions.  Renamed
      the routines as such.
    Replaced the 3 individual loops that walk a cq with a call to the
      common routine.
    Redefined lpfc_sli4_sp_handle_mcqe() to commong handler definition with
      queue reference. Add increment for mbox completion to handler.

 - Added a new module/sysfs attribute: lpfc_cq_max_proc_limit To allow
   dynamic changing of the CQ max_proc_limit value being used.

Although this leaves an EQ as an immediate interrupt, that interrupt will
only occur if a CQ bound to it is in an armed state and has cqe's to
process.  By staying in the cq processing routine longer, high loads will
avoid generating more interrupts as they will only rearm as the processing
thread exits. The immediately interrupt is also beneficial to idle or
lower-processing CQ's as they get serviced immediately without being
penalized by sharing an EQ with a more loaded CQ.

      scsi: lpfc: cleanup: convert eq_delay to usdelay · cb733e35
      James Smart authored 
      

Review of the eq coalescing logic showed the code was a bit fragmented.
Sometimes it would save/set via an interrupt max value, while in others it
would do so via a usdelay. There were also two places changing eq delay,
one place that issued mailbox commands, and another that changed via
register writes if supported.

Clean this up by:

 - Standardizing the operation of lpfc_modify_hba_eq_delay() routine so
   that it is always told of a us delay to impose. The routine then chooses
   the best way to set that - via register or via mbx.

 - Rather than two value types stored in eq->q_mode (usdelay if change via
   register, imax if change via mbox) - q_mode always contains usdelay.
   Before any value change, old vs new value is compared and only if
   different is a change done.

 - Revised the dmult calculation. dmult is not set based on overall imax
   divided by hardware queues - instead imax applies to a single cpu and
   the value will be replicated to all cpus.

      scsi: lpfc: Support non-uniform allocation of MSIX vectors to hardware queues · 6a828b0f
      James Smart authored 
      

So far MSIX vector allocation assumed it would be 1:1 with hardware
queues. However, there are several reasons why fewer MSIX vectors may be
allocated than hardware queues such as the platform being out of vectors or
adapter limits being less than cpu count.

This patch reworks the MSIX/EQ relationships with the per-cpu hardware
queues so they can function independently. MSIX vectors will be equitably
split been cpu sockets/cores and then the per-cpu hardware queues will be
mapped to the vectors most efficient for them.

      scsi: lpfc: Fix setting affinity hints to correlate with hardware queues · b3295c2a
      James Smart authored 
      

The desired affinity for the hardware queue behavior is for hdwq 0 to be
affinitized with cpu 0, hdwq 1 to cpu 1, and so on.  The implementation so
far does not do this if the number of cpus is greater than the number of
hardware queues (e.g. hardware queue allocation was administratively
reduced or hardware queue resources could not scale to the cpu count).

Correct the queue affinitization logic when queue count is less than
cpu count.

      scsi: lpfc: Allow override of hardware queue selection policies · 45aa312e
      James Smart authored 
      

Default behavior is to use the information from the upper IO stacks to
select the hardware queue to use for IO submission.  Which typically has
good cpu affinity.

However, the driver, when used on some variants of the upstream kernel, has
found queuing information to be suboptimal for FCP or IO completion locked
on particular cpus.

For command submission situations, the lpfc_fcp_io_sched module parameter
can be set to specify a hardware queue selection policy that overrides the
os stack information.

For IO completion situations, rather than queing cq processing based on the
cpu servicing the interrupting event, schedule the cq processing on the cpu
associated with the hardware queue's cq.

      scsi: lpfc: Adapt partitioned XRI lists to efficient sharing · c490850a
      James Smart authored 
      

The XRI get/put lists were partitioned per hardware queue. However, the
adapter rarely had sufficient resources to give a large number of resources
per queue. As such, it became common for a cpu to encounter a lack of XRI
resource and request the upper io stack to retry after returning a BUSY
condition. This occurred even though other cpus were idle and not using
their resources.

Create as efficient a scheme as possible to move resources to the cpus that
need them. Each cpu maintains a small private pool which it allocates from
for io. There is a watermark that the cpu attempts to keep in the private
pool.  The private pool, when empty, pulls from a global pool from the
cpu. When the cpu's global pool is empty it will pull from other cpu's
global pool. As there many cpu global pools (1 per cpu or hardware queue
count) and as each cpu selects what cpu to pull from at different rates and
at different times, it creates a radomizing effect that minimizes the
number of cpu's that will contend with each other when the steal XRI's from
another cpu's global pool.

On io completion, a cpu will push the XRI back on to its private pool.  A
watermark level is maintained for the private pool such that when it is
exceeded it will move XRI's to the CPU global pool so that other cpu's may
allocate them.

On NVME, as heartbeat commands are critical to get placed on the wire, a
single expedite pool is maintained. When a heartbeat is to be sent, it will
allocate an XRI from the expedite pool rather than the normal cpu
private/global pools. On any io completion, if a reduction in the expedite
pools is seen, it will be replenished before the XRI is placed on the cpu
private pool.

Statistics are added to aid understanding the XRI levels on each cpu and
their behaviors.
