Yes, this comment is correct. The can_queue value is per HW queue. > However, I don't see it being used this way > in the code. > > During dispatch, In scsi_target_queue_ready(), there is this code: > > if (busy >= starget->can_queue) > goto starved; > > And the scsi_target->can_queue value should be coming from Scsi_host as > mentioned in the scsi_target definition in scsi_device.h > /* > * LLDs should set this in the slave_alloc host template callout. > * If set to zero then there is not limit. > */ > unsigned int can_queue; > > So, I don't really see how this would be per hardware queue. For the storvsc driver, the can_queue value in the scsi_target is initialized to zero in scsi_alloc_target() and it remains unchanged. Maybe I'm missing something, but the only place I see that sets starget->can_queue to a non-zero value is iscsi_target_alloc(). The storvsc slave_alloc() function does not set it. So the test in scsi_target_queue_ready() for exceeding can_queue never executes. We've run live tests, and can see that the number of requests sent to the storvsc driver exceeds the can_queue value when the # of HW queues is greater than 1. That result is consistent with what I see in the code.
