- Add functionality to run in polled mode only. Includes run time
attribute to enable mode.
- Enable runtime writable hba settings for coallescing and delay parameters
Customers have requested a mode in the driver to run strictly polled.
This is generally to support an environment where the server is extremely
loaded and is looking to reclaim some cpu cycles from adapter interrupt
handling.
This patch adds a new "poll" attribute, and the following behavior:
if value is 0 (default):
The driver uses the normal method for i/o completion. It uses the
firmware feature of interrupt coalesing. The firmware allows a
minimum number of i/o completions before an interrupt, or a maximum
time delay between interrupts. By default, the driver sets these
to no delay (disabled) or 1 i/o - meaning coalescing is disabled.
Attributes were provided to change the coalescing values, but it was
a module-load time only and global across all adapters.
This patch allows them to be writable on a per-adapter basis.
if value is 1 :
Interrupts are left enabled, expecting that the user has tuned the
interrupt coalescing values. When this setting is enabled, the driver
will attempt to service completed i/o whenever new i/o is submitted
to the adapter. If the coalescing values are large, and the i/o
generation rate steady, an interrupt will be avoided by servicing
completed i/o prior to the coalescing thresholds kicking in. However,
if the i/o completion load is high enough or i/o generation slow, the
coalescion values will ensure that completed i/o is serviced in a timely
fashion.
if value is 3 :
Turns off FCP i/o interrupts altogether. The coalescing values now have
no effect. A new attribute "poll_tmo" (default 10ms) exists to set
the polling interval for i/o completion. When this setting is enabled,
the driver will attempt to service completed i/o and restart the
interval timer whenever new i/o is submitted. This behavior allows for
servicing of completed i/o sooner than the interval timer, but ensures
that if no i/o is being issued, then the interval timer will kick in
to service the outstanding i/o.

Ok, here's a patch to add such a common API for fc transport users.
Relevant LLD changes (lpfc and qla2xxx) also present.

Replace use of lpfc_put_lun with midlayer's int_to_scsilun
Remove driver's local definition of lpfc_put_lun (which converts an
int back to a 64-bit LUN) and replace it's use with the recently added
int_to_scsilun function provided by the midlayer.
Note: Embedding midlayer structure in our structure caused
need for more files to include midlayer headers.

Fix panic in lpfc_get_stats()
Symptoms: Panic on sysfs stats access
Cause: In lpfc_get_stats() we are writing to memory that we do not
own.
Fix: Fix our stats structure allocation. Embed phba->link_stats in
struct lpfc_hba and stop treating it like rogue structure.
Note: Embedding midlayer/transport structure in our structure caused
need for more files to include midlayer/transport headers.
