Hi,
I was trying to check few things on LSI controller, where we have more than=
256 queue depth support.
I added default maxtags in scsi/scsi_xpt.c as below. (Because I don't want =
mattags to restrict any outstanding commands the LSI HBA.
{
/* Default tagged queuing parameters for all devices */
{
T_ANY, SIP_MEDIA_REMOVABLE|SIP_MEDIA_FIXED,
/*vendor*/"*", /*product*/"*", /*revision*/"*"
},
/*quirks*/0, /*mintags*/2, /*maxtags*/1024 <--- Default maxtag=
s were 256. I increase it to 10234
},
LSI's SAS-HBA and MR-HBA can support more than 256 outstanding commands in =
Firmware. But due to some reason, I am not able to pump more than 256 outs=
tanding commands to the HBA.
I used "rawio -p 256 /dev/da1" and more /dev/dax in loop. I have sysctl par=
ameter in Driver to display outstanding "FW commands". Max value for FW out=
standing only goes up to 256.
Also from some other mail thread Subject "mfi driver performance", I found =
that folks talk about tuning queue depth _but_ nobody discussed to increase=
it beyond 256. Is there any limitation in FreeBSD ?
