[nvmewin] OFA Release Plan: Release #1 2015 -- Call for patch volunteers

[Robles, Raymond C]

All,

As we enter Q2, I'm happy to announce that we a have a very good feature plan in place for both Q2 and Q4 releases in 2015 of the OFA driver. The list of requested features is included below for final review.

I would like to formally ask for volunteers for patch submissions. As of today, there are no volunteers for any of the below patches.

Intel would like to start with the volunteering... we will volunteer to provide the namespace management patch.

Concurrent Channels

Start I/O Concurrent Channels allows StartIo to be called in parallel resulting in improved IOPS.

Instead of learning cores, use perf opts. Shave off 2 seconds in init code... using Storport initialize perf opts. No need for source core interrupt steering code in driver.

Win 8.1 Timers

Storport Notification usage. Hot plug and IOCTLs, this does not work, for Win8.1... StorportRequestTimer() function needed.

Read only support for devices at EOL. Detection at init, hot plug, or run-time.
