scsi: lpfc: NVME Initiator: Base modifications
NVME Initiator: Base modifications This patch adds base modifications for NVME initiator support. The base modifications consist of: - Formal split of SLI3 rings from SLI-4 WQs (sometimes referred to as rings as well) as implementation now widely varies between the two. - Addition of configuration modes: SCSI initiator only; NVME initiator only; NVME target only; and SCSI and NVME initiator. The configuration mode drives overall adapter configuration, offloads enabled, and resource splits. NVME support is only available on SLI-4 devices and newer fw. - Implements the following based on configuration mode: - Exchange resources are split by protocol; Obviously, if only 1 mode, then no split occurs. Default is 50/50. module attribute allows tuning. - Pools and config parameters are separated per-protocol - Each protocol has it's own set of queues, but share interrupt vectors. SCSI: SLI3 devices have few queues and the original style of queue allocation remains. SLI4 devices piggy back on an "io-channel" concept that eventually needs to merge with scsi-mq/blk-mq support (it is underway). For now, the paradigm continues as it existed prior. io channel allocates N msix and N WQs (N=4 default) and either round robins or uses cpu # modulo N for scheduling. A bunch of module parameters allow the configuration to be tuned. NVME (initiator): Allocates an msix per cpu (or whatever pci_alloc_irq_vectors gets) Allocates a WQ per cpu, and maps the WQs to msix on a WQ # modulo msix vector count basis. Module parameters exist to cap/control the config if desired. - Each protocol has its own buffer and dma pools. I apologize for the size of the patch.
