Subject: [PATCH 3/3] iscsi-target: Pre-allocate more tags to avoid ack starvation
Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2014 03:00:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1389322847-6570-4-git-send-email-nab@daterainc.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1389322847-6570-1-git-send-email-nab@daterainc.com>
From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>
This patch addresses an traditional iscsi-target fabric ack starvation
issue where iscsit_allocate_cmd() -> percpu_ida_alloc_state() ends up
hitting slow path percpu-ida code, because iscsit_ack_from_expstatsn()
is expected to free ack'ed tags after tag allocation.
This is done to take into account the tags waiting to be acknowledged
and released in iscsit_ack_from_expstatsn(), but who's number are not
directly limited by the CmdSN Window queue_depth being enforced by
the target.
So that said, this patch bumps up the pre-allocated number of
per session tags to:
min(queue_depth, ISCSIT_MIN_TAGS * 2) + ISCSIT_EXTRA_TAGS
for good measure to avoid the percpu_ida_alloc_state() slow path.
