Re: [PATCH 5/6] hisi_sas: add hisi_sas_slave_configure()
I would like to make another point about why I am making this change in case it is not clear. The queue full events are form TRANS_TX_CREDIT_TIMEOUT_ERR and TRANS_TX_CLOSE_NORMAL_ERR errors in the slot: I want the slot retried when this occurs, so I set status as SAS_QUEUE_FULL just so we will report DID_SOFT_ERR to SCSI midlayer so we get a retry. I could use SAS_OPEN_REJECT alternatively as the error which would have the same affect. The queue full are not from all slots being consumed in the HBA. Ah, right. So you might be getting those errors even with some free slots on the HBA. As such they are roughly equivalent to a QUEUE_FULL SCSI statue, right? So after reading SPL I guess you are right here; using tags wouldn't help for this situation. Yes, I think we have 90% of slots free in the host when this occurs for one particular test - Our v2 hw has 2K slots, which is >> cmd_per_lun. The errors are equivalent to queue full for the device.

As said above, the cmd_per_lun is a _very_ rough attempt to distribute commands across several LUNs. However, in general there's no need to rely on that, as each queue (which is associated with the LUN) will be controlled individually via the queue_depth ramp-down/ramp-up mechanism. > I would like to make another point about why I am making this change > in case it is not clear.

[PATCH 5/6] hisi_sas: add hisi_sas_slave_configure()
In high-datarate aging tests, it is found that
the SCSI framework can periodically
issue lu resets to the device. This is because scsi
commands begin to timeout. It is found that TASK SET
FULL may be returned many times for the same command,
causing the timeouts.
To overcome this, the queue depth for the device needs
to be reduced to 64 (from 256, set in
sas_slave_configure()).
