[ofa-general] [PATCH 1/3] IB/srp: respect target credit limit

David Dillow dillowda at ornl.gov
Wed Dec 19 14:08:43 PST 2007


The SRP initiator will currently send requests, even if we have no
credits available. The results of sending extra requests is vendor
specific, but on some devices, overrunning our credits will cost us 85%
of peak performance -- e.g. 100 MB/s vs 720 MB/s. Other devices may just
drop them.

This patch will tell the SCSI mid-layer to queue requests if there are
less than two credits remaining, and will not issue a task management
request if there are no credits remaining. The mid-layer will retry the
queued command once an outstanding command completes.

This removes the unlikely() in __srp_get_tx_iu(), as it is not at all
unlikely to hit this limit under heavy load.
