Hi Kashyap,
Now I have put patches for removing operating on scsi_host->host_busy
in V4[1], especially which are done in the following 3 patches:
9221638b9bc9 scsi: avoid to hold host_busy for scsi_mq
1ffc8c0ffbe4 scsi: read host_busy via scsi_host_busy()
e453d3983243 scsi: introduce scsi_host_busy()
Could you run your test on V4 and see if IOPS can be improved on
megaraid_sas?
