This series implements virtio-scsi queue steering, which gives performance improvements of up to 50% (measured both with QEMU and tcm_vhost backends). The patches build on top of the new virtio APIs at http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.virtualization/18431; the new API simplifies the locking of the virtio-scsi driver nicely, thus it makes sense to require them as a prerequisite.

This series implements virtio-scsi queue steering, which gives performance improvements of up to 50% (measured both with QEMU and tcm_vhost backends). This version rebased on Rusty's virtio ring rework patches. We hope this can go into virtio-next together with the virtio ring rework pathes. V5: improving the grammar of 1/5 (Paolo) move the dropping of sg_elems to 'virtio-scsi: use

This series implements virtio-scsi queue steering, which gives performance improvements of up to 50% (measured both with QEMU and tcm_vhost backends). This version rebased on Rusty's virtio ring rework patches, which has already gone into virtio-next today. We hope this can go into virtio-next together with the virtio ring rework pathes.

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example: struct virtio_scsi { ... struct virtio_scsi_vq req_vqs[]; }; Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version in order to avoid any potential type mistakes. So, replace the following form: sizeof(*vscsi) + sizeof(vscsi->req_vqs[0]) * num_queues with: struct_size(vscsi, req_vqs, num_queues) This code was detected with the h...

Hi all, this series adds multiqueue support to the virtio-scsi driver, based on Jason Wang's work on virtio-net. It uses a simple queue steering algorithm that expects one queue per CPU. LUNs in the same target always use the same queue (so that commands are not reordered); queue switching occurs when the request being queued is the only one for the target. Also based on Jason's
